Random Thoughts, Just for Fun

12/26/2013

1. You know how sometimes, in moments of great stress, you suddenly exhibit superhuman abilities? You can eliminate any obstacles, attempting feats you’d normally never try.

I call these moments, “Road Rage.”

2. If I ever become a coach, after our first loss I will publicly blame the players, their mothers who gave them life, and Jesus.

3. Guys, winter is a wonderful season for dating. The cold outside makes for warm settings inside; great for enjoying Christmas movies in your home or romantic dinners at cozy restaurants. More importantly, women are smaller than us, and move poorly in high snow—making for easy tracking. This is how I got my wife.

4. The other day I went for a long run. No point, no purpose, just a chance to clear my thoughts and get some perspective.

It was a soccer game.

5. When I heard “Duck Dynasty” was about duck hunters, I realized my programming idea of “Shetland Pony Dynasty” was doomed.

6. In a world where identical twins can behave completely different from one another, Astrology is the belief that all humans born in the same 30-day period will act roughly identical.

No joke there. Just thought I’d point it out.

7. My wife is a very honest person. She and I used to write fortune cookies, and hers would read, “I have absolutely no idea what’s going to happen to you.”

     Mine were more fun. One read, “I mustn’t share future events, for if you were to change anything, the damage to the timeline could be catastrophic.”

     Another read, “Don’t break the cookie before reading this message. Millions of lives are at stake.”

     Yet another read simply, “The person to your left can’t be trusted.” That one had multiple meanings.

8. Last night I tossed and turned for hours, agonizing over the question of whose economic views mean more to my life: The Pope, or the Queen of England.

9. Things I like to say when walking liberal neighborhoods during election season:

Join us, and together we can help the rich live fuller lives.
Wow, your kids go to that school? My militia meets there!
Have you thought about where you will spend eternity?
We Republicans only go to seafood restaurants where our children can take their time, look in the tank, and choose their dolphin.
I’m afraid I can’t answer any questions. I’m just a spokes-model.
Have you ever wanted to bring joy to the hearts of children everywhere? Me neither—vote Republican.
I just feel like God sent me to your door.
While you share your opinions, mind if I text?
By the way, I’m charging $20 for this visit. Yeah, yeah, I know, but I’m paying for Obamacare, and I didn’t ask for that either.

Cori and I wish you all a happy—and victorious—2014!

Herding Cattle: Why the Left Must Kill

12/17/2013

0 Comments

Here we go again. Like virtually all killers, the Arapahoe High shooter was a Leftist.

No, I don’t say “virtually all” lightly. Though raised in a peaceful Leftist household, I can plainly state why liberals comprise the vast majority of those turning to violence. But first, lest anyone assume otherwise in this latest case of “Coward shoots at helpless victims,” observe a couple excerpts from a Denver Post article (one which tried mightily to minimize the gunman’s leftwing fanaticism):

“In one Facebook post, Pierson attacks the philosophies of economist Adam Smith, who through his invisible-hand theory pushed the notion that the free market was self-regulating. In another post, he describes himself as ‘Keynesian.’”

‘Pierson also appears to mock Republicans on another Facebook post, writing ‘you republicans are so cute’ and posting an image that reads: ‘The Republican Party: Health Care: Let 'em Die, Climate Change: Let 'em Die, Gun Violence: Let 'em Die, Women's Rights: Let 'em Die, More War: Let 'em Die. Is this really the side you want to be on?’"

(Source: http://www.denverpost.com/news/ci_24721367/arapahoe-high-gunman-held-strong-political-beliefs-classmates#ixzz2nWKIAw7f)

Once again, another Leftist embraces violence. It never ends. But why?

I’ve written on this before. After the Boston Bombings back in April, I wrote an article entitled, “Why The Right Rarely Kills.” Pardon the occasional rehash, but I’ll blend a few sections from that article into this, as the realities—and causes—of Leftist killing are timeless truths.

What first struck me about the Boston killings—beside the obvious horror—was the Left’s desperate crusade to find a rightwing motive. Salon’s David Sirota openly hoped the Boston killers were “white American males.” No, seriously—perhaps he felt this would comfort grieving families.  David Axelrod suggested the killings were related to “Tax Day”—a clear dig at the Tea Party. But Axelrod wasn’t alone. Also accusing those flag-waving patriots were Michael Moore and Chris Matthews; and to my knowledge, neither apologized. None wanted to face a clear case of Muslim terrorism, since Muslims strongly favor the Left.

Remember the furor over Jared Loughner—supposed rightwing nut?  Turns out he was a Democrat who studied the hard-left works of Marx and Hitler. And what about the Sandy Hook shooter? Ummm…Adam Lanza was a Democrat.   How about the Aurora monster, James Holmes?  Well, Holmes was a CU grad student—not exactly a bastion of the GOP voter base. I’ve heard he worked on the local Obama campaign, but I’ve no idea if that’s true. At any rate, if he were rightwing, we’d have heard it shouted from the highest CNN rooftops.

Kennedy was shot by a leftwing Socialist, as was Reagan. The Fort Hood shooter was a Leftist Muslim, as were the aforementioned boys of Boston. Columbine? Atheists hunting Christians. Seung-Hui Cho, the killer of 32 innocents at Virginia Tech? Democrat. The LA cop-killer? A big time Obama supporter.   The Naval shipyard shooter? You guessed it—Democrat.

Never ending is the pattern: First, the Democrats disarm Americans in shooting galleries called Gun-Free Zones. Then inevitably, some cowardly Democrats prey on the disarmed in those Gun-Free Zones. And finally, the Democrats push for more restrictive gun laws their fellow Dems won’t follow—and of course, for more Gun-Free Zones. Disarm-kill-shift blame, disarm-kill-shift blame—it’s what the Left does. It’s who they are. And throughout it all, the leftwing media searches high and low for that elusive “rightwing killer”—one they can use to distract from the mounting body count built by their practices.

But it gets worse. Let’s look at who does more killing in America—street gangs, drug lords, convicts, infiltrating Mexican cartels, radical abortionists like Kermit Gosnell—and let’s wonder, “If we polled these groups, how many of their members would favor the Republican Party, the Tea Party, or the NRA?” Answer: VIRTUALLY NONE.

But hey, to see the biggest liberal killing, just look at nations run by the Left. Stalin, Hitler, Mao, Mussolini, Castro, Hussein, and don’t forget the wonders of Tiananmen Square. Yes, most American Democrats are good people, but the fact remains that as their ideological allies increase power, the death toll rises.

And we must ask this fundamental question: Why?

The answer lies in the Left’s goal of control. Think about it. You can’t value those you hope to control. You just can’t. For you, they are assets to manipulate; or worse yet, roadblocks to your plans.  And the deeper you plunge into this mindset, the more people transform before your eyes…from precious beings…into cattle.

Why do liberals love social programs (beyond the intoxicating joy of buying votes with other people’s money)? Simple: It’s controlled charity. No longer allowing others to freely decide whom to help, you get to seize their money through taxation and direct it to your chosen causes. You actually control their charity—which is just about the greatest control one can have.

But there is greater control. How about public education? Think about it: Unlike churches, which rely on freely given donations to sustain their missions, the Left actually seizes money from people of all beliefs and then uses it to teach one side—theirs—to everyone’s kids. I always laugh when people label the Christian Right as “controlling,” since nothing done by the Christian Right could ever compare to the Left’s control through public schools. I mean, using money from all sides to teach one side? How could any church approach that kind of dominance?

Activist judges, union thuggery, Harry Reid killing the filibuster, Obamacare, wage controls, censoring speech through political correctness, IRS targeting of rightwing groups, controlling energy production through Global Warming lies, Black Panthers with clubs outside voting booths—the Left’s legacy of control grows and grows.

This is what liberalism is all about: Controlling individuals through collective power. Hence, the Left’s greater occurrence of violence.

You see, violence is the final expression of control. Whether borne of bitterness or entitlement, one’s lust for control can reduce humans to subhuman status; at which time violence becomes acceptable. Hurt them, and they’ll yield. Strike terror, and they’ll cower. Kill them, and they’ll oppose you no more.

Let this be a lesson to anyone on the Right who wishes to control the choices of fellow Americans. You may think you’re advocating for good, but in actuality you’ve taken the first step down a road paved by the Left—a road that ends with an innocent girl clinging to life after a shooting at Arapahoe High School.

We in The Party Of Choice have a slogan: “We support every individual choice that doesn’t directly limit someone else’s choice.” In other words, as long as your choice doesn’t take away someone else’s choice, keep it. We don’t want our preferences to be your laws, because we don’t want to be your gods (unlike the Left, we don’t think we’re qualified). We don’t want control; we only prevent the Left from seizing it.

That’s the beauty of Choice—the enemy of Control. While we rightwingers are no better than leftwingers, our beliefs revolve around personal liberty (Choice), valuing people as freely-choosing individuals. Hence, we don’t see people as cattle. Their liberty is our liberty, since their free decisions show our inner freedom to allow them. We control our own lives, not theirs. We’re content—and they’re safe.

Last week, yet another leftist let his desire for control rise to the level of violence. Had he not been surprised by someone having a gun to shoot back (these leftist killers are such cowards), he no doubt would have gone on a killing spree. He saw his fellow students as cattle, not people. To him, they were not amazing creations to be unleashed. To this committed Socialist, they needed to be managed. Herded. Controlled. And once they and his teacher no longer met his needs, well…

His parents say they can’t imagine what drove him to violence, but I can. His was the mentality of the Left, my friends, and the only question is how deeply each Leftist feels it. Some just want you to drink less soda. Some want to silence you to control what they must hear. Some would use government to take from you and control where the money goes—forget about real reward and real charity. Some would even disarm you with Gun-Free Zones and control your very safety.

And those who take liberalism to its logical end will seek the ultimate control over the people they view as cattle…

…by slaughtering them.

Someday, I pray Americans will wake up to the Left’s mindset, lest our death toll rises to match fully Socialist nations. Liberalism kills, folks. Always has, always will.

Spread the word.

Rand’s Detroit Vision: A Blueprint for Humiliating the Left

12/6/2013

7 Comments

Rand Paul wants to save Detroit. After watching decades of failed Democrat governance and President Obama’s disastrous bailout, Senator Paul is proposing a Kemp-style fix through his “Freedom Plan.”

Quoting Senator Paul on Sean Hannity’s show:

“We're going to take the personal income tax and the corporate tax down to five percent. We're going to get rid of the capital gains tax. We're going to bring the payroll tax down for the worker and employer. And we're going to reduce the red tape and let businesses thrive.”

Wow. Rand Paul hopes to reverse an eternity of Socialist collapse. Mr. Senator, I applaud you.

But for me, here’s the biggest benefit to Rand’s plan: It has people talking about Detroit, which is the last thing wanted by our pals on the Left. Seriously. Recent studies show that uttering the word, “Detroit,” will prompt Dems to blurt, “Hey, how ‘bout that Benghazi story?”   Detroit, my friends, is pure Republican gold. It’s the Dems’ idiot brother hidden away in their basement. It is their Frankenstein experiment run amok, mauling villagers and shouting, “I want to live!” while urinating on dumpsters.

In fact, we at The Party Of Choice make a bumper sticker that reads, “Detroitifornia: Obama’s Blueprint for Success.” Detroit and California are the smoking guns of Leftwing failure; the stained dresses of Democrat depravity.   Whatever Obama wants America to do, Detroitifornia has already done--a lot. Want to know the outcome for every Dem initiative? Look no further than Detroitifornia.

I’d like to propose two new laws: One, from this day forth, the chalk outline for every victim at murder crime scenes must be drawn in the shape of California. And two, the voice of Barack Obama saying, “Detroit is coming back!” must be every cell phone’s new ringtone. Elect me as your Supreme Leader, and these things shall come to pass.

Back to Rand Paul.   While I’m unsure of his plan’s details—5% seems awfully low—it at least highlights the beauty of getting government out of our way rather than seeking its rescue. Should his proposal ever pass, Detroit would become a Midwestern Mecca of business growth; a capitalist boomtown. Thus, the Dems will prevent it. They’ll quash this potential success, lest it provide a winning GOP contrast for 2016. Can’t have Rand turn your Frankenstein into his Brad Pitt now, can we?

But I ask you, must we wait for Rand’s plan? We have great contrasts now! I want GOP candidates to compare Detroit and California with North Dakota, where a fracing-led oil boom on private land has Americans rethinking whether Hawaii is our most beautiful state. If you ask me, every Republican candidate should simply say, “My opponent’s proposals already created Detroit and California, while I prefer the results in North Dakota. What do you think, folks?” Game, set, and match.

Rand Paul’s blueprint for humiliating the Democratic Party, in my view, can be used right away.

As for Paul’s Detroit focus, this humiliates the Democrats’ biggest supporters: Labor Unions. You know, I often wonder whether it was public or private unions that did Detroit the most harm. Primarily of the auto industry, private unions ran labor costs sky-high, driving off (pardon the pun) job creation at a record pace. More recently, the public unions (such as school teachers) buried taxpayers with hilarious demands for continued, unsustainable pension funding—even though such pensions were virtually gone in the private sector. So, which unions are to blame? Public or private? The answer is, “Yes.”

Ah, but Detroit’s example goes beyond humiliating Democrats in general, or their beloved union cronies—it hits Obama himself, along with his crumbling legacy.

Understand, the American Taxpayer is still owed over $9 Billion from Obama’s GM Bailout—a shocking amount. This figure is worsened by GM’s shares underperforming in a grossly inflated stock market; a market soaring on the printing of trillions in worthless cash. So thanks to QE-whatever, not only does GM still owe us lots of money, but the money it owes and has “paid” is worth much less. Lovely.

Oh, and let’s remember, GM’s bondholders (who by law should have been first in line for “Obama-money”) were bumped aside for Obama’s beloved Labor Unions. Forget legal justice; Obama imposed his brand of social justice, showering union allies with billions in tax-funded payoffs. But hey, they needed it. Stricken with poverty, these auto union supporters only averaged nearly $150,000 each in total annual compensation (including base pay, benefits, pensions, and free pasta at all mob-owned restaurants). So naturally, they needed help STAT—bondholders be damned.

To think, with all this bootie—sorry, “Federal Assistance”—Detroit still declared bankruptcy.   Amazing.

Summing up, Rand Paul’s “Freedom Plan,” implemented or not, draws attention to failures of the Democrats, their union thug supporters, and Barack Obama himself. Paul’s ingenuity humiliates their fiascoes. His letting go of government power humiliates their seizing of government power. His opportunity model for all Detroit citizens humiliates Obama’s targeted bailouts for cronies.

In the meantime, we should take Rand’s example and start humiliating Democrats NOW with constant comparisons between Detroitifornia and places like North Dakota, Louisiana, Texas, New Jersey (balanced budgets, anyone?), Wisconsin (more balanced budgets, anyone?), etc., etc., etc. It’s time to start humiliating the Left for their failures, not accommodating them for dreams of bipartisanship.

Rand has shown the way. It leads through Detroit, of all places. Let’s make sure no one forgets it.
