Open Thread Saturday

Where is the media? Conservatives? Libertarians? Liberals? “Power corrupts”. “Absolute power corrupts absolutely.” Whereas Bush might be a moron, Obama, likely, had even lower grades at college. The fallacy of Liberal trust is that they don’t see that even if Barack were a saint, what about all those that will follow. The Second Circuit Appeals judges are the best that money and/or Schumer could buy. The Second Circuit has given us Kagan and Sotomayer. Our Republic’s fate hangs on the whims, prejudices and stupidities of nine unaccountable lawyers slithering under black robes.

He’s right and wrong. He’s right about the evolution of a dictatorship. He offers only an assertion that Bush is a moron and that Obama is intelligent. He’s right that deficits, especially account deficits (i.e. open-ended), serve to devalue capital and labor, unless they are matched with equal gains in productivity, where the latter typically results in concentrations in wealth. He’s wrong about global warming, climate disruption, climate change, etc., which really should be qualified with anthropogenic, and should be noted that the observed behavior is not abnormal, even within an extremely limited frame of reference (e.g. 100 years). The universe, and our Earth system, exhibit a chaotic behavior. That is the behavior is bounded, with intermediate effects modeled as stochastic processes. There is no normal, only a range of normal.

As for due process, and equality under the law, is he pro-abortion or pro-choice? Our national charter establishes that our unalienable rights are endowed from “creation.” The Fourteenth Amendment establishes that our rights, including our right to life, cannot be violated without sufficient cause and not before due process is afforded.

I have mixed feelings about his integrity. I am suspicious that he would conflate and attempt to establish legitimacy for disparate issues. I am concerned when he distorts or ignores reality to support a wealth redistribution scheme, including the global warming agenda. I am especially concerned when his interests in civil and human rights are selective.
