They generally know nothing about markets and money. They cannot do it by themselves. Therefore, all their millions are made by crony trading and outright bribery. Throw Them All Out is a great goal, but the system is so rife with ingrained corruption that just about anyone new will eventually succumb and the cycle starts over. Add the revolving door and it's going to be difficult. We need an organic revolution. Not only "Throw Them All Out", but "Throw Out The Bureaucrat Crooks" and "Stop The Revolving Door" and "Jail The Czars"..

No, they still hold to the liberal/progressive/socialist/communist party orthodoxy and Obama is just the latest in a long line of dear leaders who was just not dedicated or competent enough to usher in utopia. It does nothing to dampen their resolve for a socialist paradise. They have their radar out for the next messiah who will surely get it right. Long live the party line. The commissar is dead, long live the commissar (when we find him). Jackass.

Socialism/communism is ideal. It hasn't worked because the right people haven't been in charge. The next messiah will get it right and utopia will reign. Feh. Fools.

Holiday Inn, I've liked it for years. I think I get a bigger kick out of watching Danny Kay in White Christmas. I had forgotten that Trading Places was set at Christmas. One of my favorites. The Die Hards can't be beat. What's more cockle-warming than shooting terrorists, blowing up things, screwing with newsmen and the indomitable human spirit. I heartily agree, most Christmas movies are a mucilaginous mess of sugary saccharine. I won't watch them for the same reason I don't watch Hallmark calculated tearjerkers. Everyone raves about Christmas Story. Never seen it and have no real desire for that ilk of narcissistic nostalgia.

The last film I saw in a theater was Lord of the Rings 2 - something that really deserved an expansive view. My wife gets DVDs by mail and sends them back before I can watch them. The best movie I've seen lately was a $5 Walmart bargain bin copy of Bullitt. Screw them all. I hear and see tempting reviews, but the desire easily passes as soon as I start looking through the bill folder and try to figure out what I can pay.

Nascar has been pandering to the Regime/Green crowd this whole season with the much hyped E15 green fuel change. They are a mega business with the France's at the helm. They know it would not take much for the regime to rain down EPA, OSHA and IRS investigations, fines and suits. Nascar is a middle American event. The President is an urban, NBA thugball fan. I don't think the issue is so much racism as it is that this administration despises Nascar fans (as do all their Ivy League/Wall Street cronies), has done everything possible to extinguish their jobs, increase their fuel costs, increase their health care costs, impede their small businesses and drop the hammer on their kid's futures all while insulting their intelligence. Who wouldn't "boo" people who hate you so much? Cartoon audiences booed Snidely Whiplash, too. Michelle and Jill, troop family hype aside, are not very nice people. They will never relate to the "commoners".

It's probably more fascistic than Marxist. Business, bank and industry cronies enriched and directed by central authority. All paid for by the little people.

I'm surprised it isn't more. $1M really is not much for a celebrity cabin. Wonder how much his "working" home cost? If it's Hollywood it's probably a minimum of $15M. Fat hypocrite.

It's the same reason Tea Party rallies are on weekends while the worthless left professional protest crowd can Occupy all week. We work, they don't. We have striving lives, they only strive for their warped cause on someone else's nickel. I haven't been to a theater for years. Not that there have not been a dozen movies I wanted to see. I don't have the time or the disposable income or the inclination to pay for another hour of lame preaching. I get home and, frankly, I don't have the inclination to ever again watch a chick flick, a "meaningful classic" or anything more than action or good, stupid, non-stop comedy. Except for big effects efforts I can't understand why anyone in the movie industry wants to make anything for the "big screen". Everything else is better at home. With RedBox, Netflix and the $5 bin at WalMart why would I patronize a theater with the ill behaving excuse for movie gioers and $10 popcorn? Art is another matter. Art rarely pays. Artist expect to be paid for all the wrong reasons. All for a product that is inconsequential at best. Liberals boost artists to mystical proportions for their propaganda value. The ultimate in selfless narcissism. Monetary value of art is rarely intrinsic as much as for the bragging rights. Art, like any hobby, is a luxury.

Did see the superhero episode and last night. I've taken to calling the show "Model Cop" because Beckett is such a fox. That being said, the show is a hoot. and on eof the better incarnations of "law enforcement consultant partner" genre we've seen so much of the last couple of years. Entirely implausible, but fun. Some of them have been forgettable like the execrable Liar. Castle, Bones and The Mentalist all hit the stride. I still can't square in my head a cop going into a dangerous situation backed up by an unarmed, untrained, sometimes chickeny looking partner. Bones was pretty badass when she produced her S&W 500, Castle beat the snot out of that guy last season and Jane killed the Red John guy.

It was there I saw that liking plants and trees and animals and taking sensible measures were not enough for the cultural ideological elite. My Christian worldview was anathema to their concept of environmental responsibility. It was actually no more than a propaganda sell for the larger international socialist movement. I still believe that conservation and conservative are entirely compatible. I get cranked when 'conservative' blatherers insist that waste and foolishness is their God given right. Well, it may be. Everyone has the right to be stupid. No law or knee-jerk perversion of philosophy says you have to be. No business wins by wasting capital, resources, creating a PR nightmare due to negligence, bankrupting themselves by harming neighbors or clients. Just don't be stupid. Please. On top of the simple economics, it just feeds the left's propaganda machine.

A very successful, accomplished, acclaimed business man. A man who has pulled more fat out of the fire than Michelle Obama. Yet they have to make it seem to the masses that he made his chops driving a beat up Pinto scrounging for change and tips at the front stoop. Compared to the bunch of welfare sots we have now, even that would point to someone willing to work and would be a light year step up from the Obamas.

Death is the gateway to the Progressive/Marxist socialist future. Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Castro, Chavez (and bin Laden) all avowed the human sacrifice. Even as our Glorious Regime promotes "A Day of Service"... or is it "A Day of Serve Us". Sacrifice for the greater good. Survivors and other 'we the living' are supposed to be heartened by Barak serving soup and healed to forget by the miraculous therapy of Habitat for Humanity. Wash those sad, vengeful anti-multicultural thoughts out of your hateful little minds. Oh, shiny. For the mercenary ruling class patriotism is paying taxes. "And we'll make you patriotic at the confiscatory point of a gun. You poor, stupid proles will like it." It's time to consider the blood of 9/11 as the first new blood to nourish the Tree of Liberty not just of the US, but of the world. Freedom from the small minded, tyrannical designs of islamic-fascist, neo-communist, progressive, socialist, tin-pot dictatorial, crony-capitalist, auto/pluto/aristo/bureau/corrupto-crat regimes IS the American dream.

Obama is the front puppet that got them into the control position. The Money, the Eurosocialist Policy, the Implementation. Fund the progressive army, indoctrinate it and slowly boil the populace until the army can eat the cooked remains.

Not to me, not to Americans who want a renewal of their liberty and freedoms, not to honest people. Sarah has to scare the crap out of the progressive crony left and the corporate crony right. I am still not convinced that her short experience qualifies her for presidential office. She is, however, the clearest voice out there for those of us who are not blinded by the sorry state of Democrats and Republicans currently running Washington and whose front line duties are to co-opt all newcomers, raise money, buy votes and feather their own personal nests. Wise, noble service is not on the priority list. Perry and Romney are neither perfect. Both are beholden to 3rd party interests. Sarah, and to some extent Cain, Bachman and Ryan, are the weapons we need to hold them in check.

Compassion my ass. This whole Day of Service is nothing more than a blatant ploy to distract from the solemn history of the day, the duplicity of the islamic ideology and subvert it as thin PR for socialist program promotion. Americans are not good enough until they have debased themselves to the level of beggars cleaning toilets (like the rest of the world). We are too rich, privileged and lacking in "compassion". You owe your life energy to the dregs of society (the Democrat voting block). Do you really want to honor the 9/11 victims? Offer a prayer for their survivors, families, friends, comrades and the people who were selflessly rescued by the present and lost 9/11 heros. Then, make life hell for the American-hating islamists and government socialists by working at your capitalist business like you've never worked before. Be the exceptional American, the anathema of their nefarious plans.
