As Seen From the Rational Right

More Indoctrination

I know the liberals like to dismiss these instances as very pedestrian and argue that the children are simply supporting the President.  Supporting the President is one thing, reciting catch phrases from his campaign are another.  This is obviously political folks and I don't know anyone who would want their kids to be subjected to political brainwashing (on either side of the aisle) at school.  I know Obama didn't direct these brainwashing sessions but it's part of the very liberal public school system web being very intertwined with politics.  Rush stated yesterday that this is precisely the reason why Obama wants children in school year round, it seems like they are going to be learning the ways of the revolution...not the normal core subjects.

NJ School Children Subject to Liberal Indoctrination - All Praise Obama

I know that Obama is not responsible for this idiot teacher indoctrinating these young kids but this speaks volumes to the partisan liberal control that exists in our school system.  I just don't understand how saying "God" or mentioning religion is so offensive but marxist political brainwashing of our youth is acceptable?  Just last year a coach was told he could not pray with his team before games here.  That is evil but this is ok?  This reminds me of Iraqi school children performing songs for Uncle Saddam or North Korean kids dancing for "dear leader."

I think this video is hilarious though. You'd think we just passed civil rights laws in January. You'd also think Obama and liberals didn't cause the housing crisis by pumping up sub prime mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. "Equal work means equal pay." LOL, WOW!!!!!!!

ACORN to Sue Video Makers

Fired employees from ACORN's Baltimore office will sue James O'Keefe and Hannah Giles for emotional distress following the release of videos exposing their unethical behavior.  The basis of the suit is that Maryland requires two party consent for recording.  Typical of liberal victim culture, do something wrong...get caught and sue because you got caught.

Obama's Age of Appeasement

Aside from Obama lying at a climate change meeting at the UN that America has done more in the last 8 months than we have in the last 8 years to reduce emissions (ummmm...how did we do that?) and all of the capitalism bashing going on here comes another loss for America:

And the whiny liberals rebut..."Why are we allowed to have nuclear weapons and other countries aren't?  We are the only country to use them."  Because we are America, and despite the fact that liberals love to use the word imperialism, we are a completely rational and just country.  Especially compared to the rest of the world.  Now, thanks to Obama and his appeasement/global consolidation/sovereignty eroding policies, no one will have nuclear weapons...except rogue nations and black market terrorist groups.  There goes more leverage for America as the global community continues to consolidate power and policy.  I hope Americans (liberals) keep feeling the warm and fuzzy global love when their living standards are reduced to 3rd world levels. 

From the AFP - "United Nations: US President Barack Obama will on Thursday chair an unprecedented summit at the UN Security Council to rally world support for nuclear non-proliferation and advance nuclear disarmament.

The talks come as Iran's suspect energy program has once again been thrust into the spotlight, with world powers warning more sanctions could follow if Tehran refuses to comply with UN demands to rein in its nuclear ambitions.

The summit will be the first time the 15-member council will be chaired by an American president, with Obama having set combating nuclear proliferation as a priority of his new administration.

US officials have stressed the aim of the summit is to reinvigorate the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty(NPT), which will be the subject of a key review conference next year.

In his maiden address to the UN General Assembly, Obama on Wednesday renewed a pledge he made in Prague earlier this year to work toward his goal of "a world without nuclear weapons."

 

 

Young People on Political Sidelines...This is News???

A recent AP article talked about how the young people who were so rabid about Obama last Fall have quietly gone back to the political sidelines.  I'm not surprised.  As a young person myself (27 next month) I whole heartedly agree that my age group is ignorant.  It's the instant gratification, pseudo knowledge, no substance and immature generation.  Most of them will need another 7-10 years of life under their belt before they are relevant in any political capacity.  First, I'm a proponent of raising the voting age.  18 year olds, for the most part, are seniors in high school or freshman in college.  They are concerned with issues like legalizing pot and other crap like that.  Some, like to link themselves to some distant bleeding heart ideal that they really know nothing about and whine about it like experts.  Here it comes, "if 18 year olds can die for their country they should be able to vote", agreed, I served in the military myself and I agree.  Those 18 year olds who are in the military should be able to vote for their next boss.  Ok moving on. 

So most young people voted for Obama but didn't know what they were voting for.  They are too unrealistically idealistic.  They don't understand the ambiguities that you need to navigate with common sense.  Young people usually aren't wealthy (independently at least) and have a resentment for older,wealthier people who have earned their titles and wealth but dominate them in the work place etc.  Young people of today also are a product of liberal, empty self-esteem inflating education and don't know how to deal with the harsh realities of competition and success/failure...the hallmark of a successful capitalist economy.  Generation Y and X,to a certain extent, want to move up in their jobs without paying their dues and want to get rich quick.  Dangerous for things like the housing market.  People have always been materialistic in America but to say it's gotten worse and more ingrained in young people through the years is an understatement.  What's funny is they are materialistic but yet embrace socialist ideas.  Which goes to my next point...THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND ECONOMICS.  PERIOD.  Most of these kids have never lived away from home and don't pay their own cell phone bill, and we expect them to understand policies.  Give me a break. 

One final point is a quote from something I wrote a while back.  "The young people of today don't understand that the 'system' or 'establishment' they should be fighting against, isn't the big bad companies that give them jobs (and subsequent innovation).  It's the system that hides behind rainbow colors of immorality all the while falsely claiming 'social justice' to impose not equal opportunities but manufactured results, the system that behind these colors grows a big, intrusive and expensive bureaucracy that will rob them of true progression...and their retirement funds."

My Disdain for Cliches Exist but...iiwii

No this has nothing to do with politics, Obama, health care, ACORN, war...it's just me ranting.  To be clear, some of my original readers know me personally and know that I can rant about public absurdities other than fraudulent and regressive liberal policies. 

So I have a great disdain for cliches, to me, even saying the word cliche is a cliche so shame on me.  Anyway, I have a skill at noticing cliche trends right before they take over the masses who desperately seek to duplicate the behavior of the next person.  It really makes me more mad than it should.  I even get mad when I notice the same "type" of comedy being used in movies.  It that world they use "hackneyed" which is the artistic version of the common cliche.  It's all under the same umbrella (<---kind of a cliche) of lack of originality.  Now some cliches have been a part of our vernacular for so long it's charming and doesn't bother me.  An example?  Something like "it's a piece of cake", that's not annoying.  What end am I getting at?  What big cliche do I despise more than any other?  Well right now it would have to be...."IT IS WHAT IT IS."  

It's like a screen saver for communicating.  Yeah, the computer is still on but no relevant activity is taking place.  It reflects our culture of contrived self accountability (have I analyzed this too much?).  "Yeah, I funneled contributions from that charitable organization to buy a new car, I can't undo my mistakes, it is what it is."  No one really said that but it speaks to my point of contrived self accountability.  People would rather not dwell on their indiscretions and in the name of "moving on" everything done in the past...is, well what it is. 

This vomit is also spewed in benign contexts as well.  Not the atoning public figure but the average joe (another cliche...one that isn't too annoying) who really has no opinion or explanation or does not want to ponder why or what will be.  "Yeah, I applied for a bunch of jobs but no call backs, I guess no one is hiring, it is what it is."  This person either does not want to talk about it, does not care about why he/she may not be receiving call backs and shows no interest in changing his/her luck.  It just is folks.  It just is.

The sports world is probably the worst at using "it is what it is."  When describing a player (in this case a substitute filling in for an injured player) a sportscaster or coach might say "he is what he is."  I translate that as he is a human being, ball player, male...whatever.  They want you to temper your expectations for the athlete and really he won't be the superstar he's filling in for.  There is no room for improvement or higher performance ceiling...he simply is...a crappy player.

It is what it is has spread like wild fire (ahhhh another cliche) in the last 2 or 3 years.  I'm waiting to hear it in a court room setting soon, "yes your honor, my client is clearly a murderer but he is what he is."

Lack of Content

Been a busy few days for me, check back tomorrow, I have new posts/content I plan on getting up.

Thanks.

Beck or Limbaugh?

                                    

                 

     A recent Politico article pondered the question, who is a more potent force for the GOP Beck or Limbaugh?  This one is easy, Limbaugh.  I don't mind the work Beck does.  He draws more viewers, by far, than MSNBC and CNN.  I like his message, but personally, I feel his emotions are too contrived and too prominent in his show.  I guess that's the point though.  He gets people to act which is good but you want people believing and acting what they choose to and what they understand.  That's what I like about Rush.  He's a machine not a cheerleader.  He doesn't suggest you do this or do that.  You listen to his show and you're more informed. 

    The fact is, it doesn't matter.  Beck and Limbaugh have liberals running scared.  The more radical liberals get, the more Beck and Limbaugh are able to feed off that and bring back wayward voters who thought the "hope and change" line was more than political rhetoric.  The democrats saw this opportunity as a chance to knock out the GOP but they forgot that this country is conservative by nature.  This has been a work in progress for them.  They thought 30 years of eroding the validity of organized religion (namely Christianity), would help them topple the GOP once and for all with control over the house and senate and a historical president.  They forgot that conservatives, even if they strayed with their votes last fall, will reject radical liberal agendas en masse.  Limbaugh is the steady force behind informing conservative Americans.  Beck rallies them. 

    Liberal politicians aren't attacking their GOP counterparts.  They are attacking the conservative media machine.  In step 1 of their plan they tried to portray Limbaugh as the leader and voice of the GOP.  What a sad reach that was.  That pathetic move, and talk about reinstating the fairness doctrine were vague attempts to put all of the GOP eggs in one basket and then regulate that basket.  

    I find it so funny though, liberals attacked Bush and the GOP relentlessly (on the major networks as well) and had radicals burning flags across the country but that was ok.  Now that Limbaugh, Beck and co. have conservatives fired up...they want it to stop.  It's like they are little kids jumping up and down screaming "YOU CAN'T DO THAT, I'M TELLING."

Please Cite Examples

Nancy Pelosi said today that anyone voicing hateful or violent rhetoric must take responsibility for the results.  This is in reference to health care reform.  Where is the hateful rhetoric?  Just because they can't sell the public on their plan doesn't mean the opposition is spewing hateful or violent rhetoric.  This is another slight folks, another way to discredit opposition that's all it is.  You can say what you want as long as you agree with them. Anything else is "hateful and violent."  I haven't heard anything hateful, even Glenn Beck (who I'm not the biggest fan of) isn't being hateful. 

Explain your reform ideas better, don't change your stance and be honest with the people.  Then listen to them if they don't like what you are trying to sell.  Also, please spare us the comparisons, conjuring up violent imagery to connect health care opposition to it is juvenile.

Who's Watching?

Sometimes I like to check my traffic stats to figure out how people are learning about my blog.  I'm surprised to see some "house.gov" domains that seem to have got my link from Biggovernment.com which probably showed up in the Twitter feed.

Interesting stuff, I knew they browsed the big blogs to figure out what people are saying but little old me?  Great, now I can be categorized as a lunatic.
