Big Government : Political Moneyball: The Conservative Strategy for Winning the Fight Coming After the Election

Sat, 4 Feb 2012 15:35:41 +0000

There isn't any problem solving the debt crisis.......fire 25% of the federal work force each year. Abolish all federal regulatory agencies, they are just useless paper-pushers. As Ayn Rand said: "production is life" Make the non-productive get producing jobs; tax revenues go up, costs of government goes down; life is renewed again.

undeserving welfare recipients? You mean like the banks and big businesses? The crony capitalists? The one thing that is important in a President is the ability to cheer lead the American people. That's what a President is. Now we need a cheerleader who will take us back to the Constitution. Newt is the ONLY politician who puts his promises in writing and has delivered on all of his promises in the past. Let him shake up the process, The American people are ready!

Big Hollywood : The Woodstock Reincarnation

Amen MystWlker: Michael: You seem to have rose colored glasses re: Woodstock, perhaps it was the puff pieces the press put out during those times? Read the book, "Return of the Primitive, The New Left, the Anti-Industrial Revolution" for the best insight on that event in history.

Hello Hollywoodron: There is a reason that "progressive collectivists" lie, cheat, steal, kill to achieve their goals, but it has nothing to do with atheism. Saying that I am an atheist only tells what I don't believe in. It is not a descriptor. If you have ever wondered why the Christian right is ineffective against the progressives, one only need understand that you Christians cannot stand up to their moral code without a fundamental examination of your most cherished beliefs. The progressives' moral code has only one tenet; that man must sacrifice himself for his fellow man. In a word, Altruism. Since you equate Charity with Altruism, you are unwilling to reject their moral code. It took one Jewish, Russian immigrant - Ayn Rand - to point out the fallacies of Altruism, and to craft a moral code for rational men: it embodies the virtues of Independence, Rationality, Integrity, Honesty, Justice, Productiveness and Pride. Look it up sometime, it puts the 10 commandments, the Golden Rule and every other previous moral code to shame. The concepts of Integrity and Honesty embodies far more than the "thou shalt not Lie" commandment. In addition, Ayn Rand extolled the rightness of limited Constitutional government, lassez-faire Capitalism, freedom for all people, property rights and VOLUNTARY charity. These POLITICAL concepts can only be upheld when they have a proper philosophical foundation, including a proper moral foundation. Your Christian moral code falls far short. The progressives have been indoctrinating our young people for the past 100 years, and your philosophical beliefs are inadequate to stop the slide into Communism. Reexamine your philosophical beliefs, if you wish to fight the progressives!

Big Government : Was Andrew Breitbart Being Punk'd by Martin Bashir?

Not true: Andrew knows, and you know that it's time to step up to the plate and oppose these brainwashed irrational people everywhere and often. It's working, the liberals heads are exploding, and they can't get any traction off Brietbart.

Breitbart.tv : DeMint: 'You Can’t Be A Fiscal Conservative and Not Be A Social Conservative'

Thu, 11 Nov 2010 08:56:01 +0000

Hello sbernard: Natural law is not God's law, and God's law is not Natural law no matter how many times Sean Hannity repeats the mantra. A moral code handed down from a mystical being? How rational is that? Thou shalt not kill? What if I kill in order to protect my life? You've heard of the right to self defense, haven't you? How about if you kill to protect your property? Stealing is wrong under any circumstances, but protecting your property is protecting your life. You cannot exist without property, and you paid with your life to acquire it. If you want to read a rational moral code, reread Galt's speech in "Atlas Shrugged", it is embedded in it. A moral code tied to the laws of existence and consciousness, not a capricious mystical moral code. A code based on Natural law. A finer set of moral precepts have I never found. Atheists believe in limited government too! Yes, you can be an Atheist and still believe in limited government, the family and all libertarian values. You better get used to it. And the only way limited government will come about is converting Liberals to Libertarians. It is actually easy to do, I should know; I was one and I do it all the time. It is easy because they are half way there already. And the hard core Liberals (read Socialist or Communist) are actually few and far between. As Ayn Rand said, you will be amazed and how small and insignificant an enemy we really have. (paraphrased) Most libertarians are not anarchists. But the government's role should be strictly limited to preventing the use of force and fraud between men. At the federal level, this means only protecting our borders with the military and international crime police; and protecting our natural rights via the upper courts. At the state level, it means only the lower courts and police powers to protect us from individuals that do us harm. No regulators to destroy our businesses, no unlimited taxing powers, etc. Try getting a bureaucrat arrested for overzealously doing his job, yet violating a law. It just doesn't happen. I know. I am against abortion, but it is an issue with legitimate arguments on both sides, and should be left up to the states. I am against drug use (our brains are our only means of survival) but empowering a nazi-like DEA is worse. And the issue there is whether someone who rots their brains out with drugs should have any benefits from the state. Let the private charities do the charity work. Remember Prohibition and the rise of the mafia? Well, we are seeing that now, and where is the rational people to overturn the attempts at morality? Demint is wrong and is playing to the minority conservatives. If you think your fiscal conservatism will win you elections, try passing a few of your moral laws and see what happens to your "conservative" majority. You only just barely have me on board, and I don't trust conservatives with moral leadership nor fiscal conservative leadership. This is a major slip-up on his part.

Big Government : Can Capitalism Be Restored?

Free market Capitalism starts with this truth: "No man may INITIATE the use of force (or fraud) against his fellow man" So much for your slavery argument.

Big Government : Can Capitalism Be Restored?

Wed, 18 Aug 2010 08:09:45 +0000

Unfortunately, the black market may be good around the fringes, but the real drivers of a Capitalist society are the large institutions which drive down prices. If you cannot think and plan in terms of multi-years and enforceable contracts, then these vital institutions will die and what you have left is institutions which collude with government to the detriment of all individuals. The disconnect has to come between the crony capitalists and government, quite simply, like separation of church and state, the Constitution has to explicitly guarantee separation of economics and state. There should be no way the politicians can reach into anyone's pocket. Like the original Constitution, which only allowed the Federals to institute voluntary taxes (taxes on luxury goods and imports) and prohibit taxes on your "substance". In addition, the original Constitution allowed the Feds to finance a war for one year only, with the states being required to pay for the IOUs at the end of one year. (a good or necessary war would have the support of the people who would show their support by paying the taxes for the war - if not, the war ended.)

Big Journalism : For Liberals, Deception Is an Important Tactic

Mon, 16 Aug 2010 14:31:59 +0000

There is a moral code at the root of this phenomena. In Ayn Rand's "The Virtue of Selfishness", she defines a rational moral code. She said that in order to define a rational moral code you must answer 2 questions: 1) What are values? 2) Who should be the beneficiaries of YOUR values? The collectivists (Altruists) of the world ignore the first question and answer the second question: Anyone but yourself. Their moral code is this simple: No action is moral unless "you derive no benefit from it whatsoever." Kant, "Critique of Pure Reason". Altruists believe that since you are too evil to sacrifice yourself for your fellow man, then force and fraud may be used to make you be "moral". Of course, the altruists on the Right believe that you should be forced to be "good" also, based on their definition of good. None want the individual to be responsible for their own lives. Thus the descent into serfdom continues..........

They don't maintain the roads or do air traffic control very well at all. High cost, poor service, political decisions make higher costs. Privatize it all, freedom in the marketplace. Even consumer protection is a red herring.

Breitbart.tv : Gauntlet Thrown: Litmus Test for President Obama is Black Farmer Settlement

Sun, 25 Jul 2010 07:55:33 +0000

Andrew must be holding off on the Sharrod/ Pigford settlement that congress authorized. The Sharrods started a communist farm in the 60s, mismanaged it, underutilized it, used volunteer labor (which they complained was unreliable) - duh! Then complained that they were discriminated against with the loans they were granted, which they never could pay back anyway, because class warfare and communism cannot work!! There has got to be a story here on why the congressional settlement, why the Sharrods personally got $300,000, why Shirley Sharrod had the government position that she had. When my business failed, I didn't get bailed by the government. You just have to pick up and start over again. This story is not over yet.
