[ KARAKTER OFF ]

This morning I received an email from my friend El Marco, who has identified the correlation between Obama, drugs, and the message of hope:Watch this political music video. This collection of druggie/stars junkie/derelict cultural icons supporting Obama's message of hope and change all look like they spent the last six months partying with Heath Ledger. I think the message is YES, WE CAN legalize drugs, but there's no way of telling. If it weren't in a song or a script, these "prophets" probably couldn't put two coherent sentences together. If anything, this video proves that young people should not have the right to vote.

Indoctrination 2008, Obama style

Says Obama: "There has never been anything false about hope." Really? Like most things he says, that's a toss-up between the stupidest thing anyone's ever heard, or the scariest.

This video is the perfect parody of Obama's political message. If he ever gets specific he gets in trouble with people who are capable of thinking.I say never trust anyone under 30. Raise the voting age to 30, except for those with military service.

John Lennon was a heroin injecting junkie when he wrote Give Peace a Chance. The 'Peace' part of it is not making any headway in this world, but the drug part of his message is his most powerful legacy. Hip pop lefty culture in the West is addicted to drugs of every kind and they see nothing wrong with it. Thank you, John Lennon.

Obama has enlisted the pop culture druggies to carry a message reminiscent of John Lennon's hollow utopianism.

El Marco's picture from 1975 is a proof that his message is one that comes from the heart and experience, not a prejudice of "just another narrow-minded conservative" grumbling against young people.

El Marco is a talented photographer who likes to document Moonbat activities and displays his findings in great photo albums.

Drugs can mess you up. Ahmad is learning this lesson due to his addiction to hax.

Whenever I see a lot of people chanting a semantically ambiguous slogan in unison I get relly nervous, be it Nazis at Nuremberg or Baptists in Birmingham, Buddhists in a temple or these folks on this video. There is a narcotic effect inherit in this (no pun intended) that is very dangerous.

Yes we can, yes we can, yes we can, yes we can, yes we can, yes we can, yes we can, yes we can, yes we can, yes we can, yes we can, yes we can, yes we can, yes we can, yes we can, yes we can, yes we can, yes we can, yes we can, yes we can, yes we can, yes we can, yes we can, yes we can, yes we can, yes we can, yes we can, yes we can, yes we can, yes we can, We want Change, we want Change, we want Change, we want Change, we want Change, we want Change, we want Change, we want Change, we want Change, we want Change, we want Change, we want Change, we want Change, we want Change, we want Change, we want Change, we want Change, we want Change, we want Change, we want Change, Yes we can, yes we can, yes we can, yes we can, yes we can, yes we can, yes we can, yes we can, yes we can, yes we can, yes we can, yes we can, yes we can, yes we can, yes we can, yes we can, yes we can, yes we can, yes we can, yes we can, yes we can, yes we can, yes we can, yes we can, yes we can, yes we can, yes we can, yes we can.

Put the gun down Mik...please?

Exhibiting personal connection and voicing broadside messages of hope to generate considerable short-term enthusiasm within the Party is my duty, is it not? Just because I happen to be armed doesn't mean that I don't have your best interests in mind, you know.

Just ask the Lithuanians.

Comrades, VOTE HOPE 08!!!

Unbelievable, I just shake my head every time I hear this man preach about "Hope" and "Change." Obamas' "Hope" is the same as a child who "Hopes" Santa Clause brings them an X-Box for Christmas.

It reminds me of a cult, if we all join hands and "Hope" for "Change" it will happen. We must "Hope" with all of our might, we must "Hope" with our soul and "Change" will take place.

We might get lucky; if he loses maybe all of his supporters will commit suicide. Now that's "Hope" I can believe in!!!

Vote Hope 08!!!!!

Damn, I am pissed!!! I always "Hoped" that I could get a "Shot Of Leg" from Scarlet Johanson, but now I'm not so sure I want to give her the pleasure. Why cant she just smile and look pretty for the Sea-Bass??

George Bush caused your problems.
I can envision a world in which your problems would be solved by the government.
Vote for me and the government will solve your problems.

This has been Borat Hussein Obomba's "message" from the beginning. So perfect. Why has the Empress let him continue?

He's giving out X-boxes?
YES WE CAN!

WOW!!! How inspiring!!!! *sniff*

Too bad our MTE is going to make him the first person she orders to the wall!!!

<karacter>
This guy is worse than Ron Paul. At least Ron Paul has a some what specific plan. Yes... it is a KOOKY plan. BUT AT LEAST HE HAS ONE!!!

I'm not interested in what "Preacher" Obama says. I want to hear what "President" Obama would say. Since all I am hearing is the same old "Bovine Scatology" that Jesse Jackson has spewed, albeit polished up and with a spritz of perfume, then I can surmise that all he has planned for this country is an updated version of FDR's "New Deal" with a new shade of lipstick slapped on it.
<karacter>

Oh... give me a Wii and YES WE CAN!!!

Yes WE can with federal assistance and garnished wages if we refuse to comply!



GARNISH THE WAGES! CLINTON/OBAMA '08!

Excuse me, I gotta go to The YES WE CAN and take a big steamy HOPE and CHANGE my drawers because there's a huge socialist skid mark.

Clearly, Barak's drug-friedly policies have already garnered him support from long-time drug-users. To capitalize on this base, here's an idea: Obama/Jerry Garcia. Now that's a winning ticket (just don't tell Hillary)! Besides, a dead guy running could really bring out those heavily democratic necro-proxy voters.

Oddly enough <i>National Review</i> of all venues made a case and a strong one for legalizing drugs. This is not at all the same thing as saying we ought to take them, merely a law-enforcement one. I dislike endorsing anything which clouds the thinking: drugs, booze, ideologies, excesses of any kind, even sports. (See the football hooligans.)

Remember that saccharine thing some years ago of people touching hands across the USA? This is in the same cloying range as CHANGE/HOPE. Formless treacle, suffocating syrup which drowns sense by sentiment.

And sentiment is always used by evil for it disarms people. "It's cute/cuddly/sweet. It can't be bad, can it?"

It sure as hell can be. If we're all chuckling like grandma in a rocker petting a cat while the rat bastards are making away with the family silver.

When listening to Obama speak last night, I become aware of a new group of hyphenated Americans, the Yeswecan/Americans. I was left with many unanswered questions.
Where is Yeswe?
Is it a country or continent?
Why did Yeswecans leave Yeswe, where they forced or did they come looking for work?
What is their history and culture?
I will search for answers for these questions and give my full report when finished. Anyone who has info on Yeswe or the Yeswecans, I'm listening.

Yes We Can :: Overview

Background:
Before he ever ran for office, Barack Obama learned that you need to combine a commitment to ideals with practical skills and know-how to make a change in politics. He served as a community organizer and developed a voter registration program to register 100,000 new voters in the city of Chicago. When he ran for Senate he opened up opportunities for people of color throughout his campaign. From that experience Yes We Can was formed, a training program to help change the face and culture of campaigns by bringing more people of color into politics. Yes We Can will form a new generation of campaign professionals with the drive and motivation to work for change, and the commitment to stay involved in the political process.

About the Program:
Yes We Can is a training and job placement program, organized by Hopefund in partnership with EMILY's List and Campaign Corps, with a goal of expanding opportunities for people of color in political campaigns around the country. This program is designed to recruit and train young people of color who have the desire to work on campaigns but have limited experience. Senator Obama's priority is to identify and create a class of talented campaign staffers who gradually build experience in all areas of campaigns, and who will continue to work in politics over an extended period of time. .

Project Overview:
In its second cycle, Yes We Can will identify 20 people of color participants for training and campaign placement in June. The training will be conducted by top Democratic experts in their field, and participants will learn the keys to developing a successful campaign. Following the seminars, Hopefund will facilitate placement onto campaigns, both with a job fair targeting party committees and with direct contact with campaigns. Though campaigns will employ and direct the activities of Yes We Can members, Hopefund will track and evaluate the progress of its members. At the end of the campaign all staffers will report back to Hopefund and debrief about their experiences on the various campaign projects. After the participants complete their first campaign, Hopefund will facilitate placement and advancement for top prospects on future campaigns.

Yes, we need to prove the unwashed masses with more bread and circus, but we need to be progressive about it. We'll call it pornography and narcotics. It will be the bread and circus of our time. Comrade Larry Flint we'll be in charge of distribution.

Well, I'm not sure where they came from, but many of them are living here in Maine, banning smoking in private cars, if there is a child in the car (demonstrating care and compassion for those who cannot protect themselves), making an issue of intentional flatulence in middle school (showing a sincere, if belated, concern for the behavior of our young people) and stopping the evil Plumtree Developers from ruining the North Woods, thereby preserving the wilderness experience for all (proving their concern for the environment and the common man in one fell swoop. There are no jobs, but, damn, what a view.) The Party will caucus this weekend, and will probably come out heavily in support of Ugly Betty, but the Yeswecans will make a good showing. Remember, Stephen King is the state hero, and he is a Yeswecan.

A Yeswecan is one who is very proud of saying, "Yeswecan" while meaning "Youdoit."

Phew....that was one stinky pile of HOPE.

I just want you to know I am "The Little Senator That Could"

As for Jerry Garcia, I'm going to have John Edwards channel him so we can discuss the necro-proxy vote.

His name looks like it says "Boner-ville Rider". However upon closer examination that it really said "evil kkkapitalist pig".

My, my. Well, I suppose it is good to have a place for idiots to gather. This site is one grand circle jerk.

I am shattered, shattered, comrades by this devastating and erudite indictment of my political views, moral values and general worthiness in the grand scheme of life. I beg the forgiveness of the bonneville rider, his family, his political party and all of the innocents that my callous and uncaring existance has caused to suffer, for daring to make light of any word uttered by any progressively correct political candidate. From this day forward I shall sit in rapt attention and agree with every single word that flows forth from the mouth of any candidate who promises change and hope. I will not have the audacity to ask exactly what they plan to change, how they plan to change it, how the change will be paid for, or what impact it may have on my health, safety, comfort or security. Such selfish concerns should be surrendered up to the government to worry about, for they are so much wiser than I, and my hope and my salvation shall be to mark a vote in favor of change and hope for the best. I furthermore renounce all of my political rights and submit myself to the People's justice for proper punishment for my crimes against them.

Mea culpa.

What a loser.

You're all wrong. Just because you were a fucked up druggie in your twenties doesn't mean that this generation is following in your massive, terrible footsteps. YES WE CAN!! The fact that you don't have any faith whatsoever in this nation's youth and in our presidential candidate shows extreme cowardice lack of intelligence on YOUR part. AND those celebrities aren't druggies/party people like you say they are. They are famous, yes. This obviously this upsets you. I'm sorry your film/acting/writing degree didn't take you as far as them, but maybe it was due to your lack of talent. Give these people some respect, at least they're doing something! Posting an angry blog a "young" kid can accidentally find on google isn't note worthy to me. And respect the dead for God's sake. Heath is dead, what more do you need to bleed from him? Maybe instead of sitting on your lonely couch with your TV dinner, trying to brush this powerful video under the rug, you should open your eyes and realize you are now living in a different America. A young, FRESH America. WE are your future, do you really want to treat us in that manner?

"Nothing can stand in the way of the power of millions of voices calling for CHANGE!"

YES WE CAN!

sorry guys, to quote the dude, the bums lost...

Dearest Comrade 22,

Which loser are you - the one shirtless and jerking off to Obama or are you the red headed puke who has obviously never been laid and probably has a hard time talking to girls?

Your friend,

Chairman Punchenko

P.S - Please campaign hard for Obama and make sure he comes close to getting the nomination. It would mean so much to me - as young voter, like you - to be a witness to history and see another Democrat convention unfold like the one held in Chicago 1968. I want to see all of your faces when you find out that the Superdelegates - the Party bosses, officials and political axe-men - are the real power in your Party and that you, the Democrat voter, are nothing more than "good theater". Yes, it will be nice to watch your stuffed suit HOPE and CHANGE get flushed down the toliet so your Party bosses can have more of the same - Hillary Rodham Clinton. Good luck and may the HOPE be with you!

Damn, why didn't I think of that.
I don't have a brush, will a shovel work?

I just can't get enough of this guy. His analysis is brillaint and I do believe he will one day become the Progressive answer to Karl Rove. The dissection of HOPE and CHANGE is unlike anything I have seen before and his calling it a "movement" is simply revolutionary.

BRILLIANT! ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT!

Boy, after watching that, I think I need a "movement" too. Maybe some Immodium AD will help...

And he even worked with the Catholic Worker movement! How Progressive! We should start a chapter here.

When we examine our society, which is generally called capitalist (because of its methods of producing and controlling wealth) and is bourgeois (because of prevailing concern for acquisition and material interests, and its emphasis on respectability and mediocrity), we find it far from God's justice.

In contrast to what we see around us, as well as within ourselves, stands St. Thomas Aquinas' doctrine of the Common Good, a vision of a society where the good of each member is bound to the good of the whole in the service of God.

--Voluntary poverty. "The mystery of poverty is that by sharing in it, making ourselves poor in giving to others, we increase our knowledge and belief in love." (Dorothy Day) By embracing voluntary poverty, that is, by casting our lot freely with those whose impoverishment is not a choice, we would ask for the grace to abandon ourselves to the love of God. It would put us on the path to incarnate the Church's "preferential option for the poor."

To rely upon conviction, devotion, and other excellent spiritual qualities; that is not to be taken seriously in politics. -Vladimir Lenin
-Mikhail

My personal favorite:

--A "green revolution," so that it is possible to rediscover the proper meaning of our labor and/or true bonds with the land; a distributist communitarianism, self-sufficient through farming, crafting and appropriate technology; a radically new society where people will rely on the fruits of their own toil and labor; associations of mutuality, and a sense of fairness to resolve conflicts.

Distributist communitarianism - I love it! We really need to start a chapter here at the Cube, Mikhail, and eventually replace any and all mention of the Lord with the Party.

"A young fresh America...."

They're so cute and cuddly and radical 'n stuff when they're that age. Dumb as a box of bricks but at least most of 'em don't actually vote.

Let's face it. Arguing with a bunch of adults by using "you big mean poopy heads" diatribes doesn't work any better that the decades of "you f***ing hate-filled Nazis" we've all heard. It is sillier but really no different. Oh and the "no life loser" crap? Yeah, we've heard all that too. Years of it from people like you who register at message boards that they disagree with just to post anonymous, snarky comments. Same old dumb crap from people who comfortably rage against the machine from within the machine. Oh you radical you. You think just like all your college professors, most of the actors and musicians you like, the people who report the news, chair the tax exempt foundations, run the big corporations you claim to hate that fund the projects and candidates you claim to support.... etc. "Down With The Man" brought to you by The Man. Gosh it must be terrible to live a world that agrees with you and applauds your mind numbed acquiescence. How do you do it?

Oh well, vapid utopian collectivism for the mind numbed voter. It worked for Wilson, FDR, Kennedy, Johnson, Carter and Clinton to name a few. Why not once again?

It's amazing to watch crowds of young Americans running around with their heads up their asses, frantically looking who to give away their brain to. They don't need it! It's too much pain - and so they store it up their asses, which is like breathing into a paper bag.

In that sense, like our comrade Betinov, they are all Party Organ Donors. But comrade Betinov at least had enough brain to store it in vodka. Because who needs a brain that was stored up someone's ass and smells like it?

So they are running around looking for a depository, but nobody wants their shitty brains and they feel desperate, and turn to things like Distributive Communitivism or Anarch-Syndicalism, but that's not different from their own asses, and the brains continue to hurt.

And then this Obama grafter dude comes along who is not so squeamish as to stockpile their shitty brains in a cool, clean place that is paid for by the government. Finally they will not have to use their brains for thinking! It makes them ecstatic! It fills them with HOPE! The Obama grafter dude will take that pain away from them!

And that is the real meaning of CHANGE they are all talking about. "We will no longer feel the pain of thinking! Obama will hold on to our shitty brains! He will suffer for all of us! And he will tell us, his zombified brainless masses what to do, what to think, and how to live and die painlessly!

You're all wrong. Just because you were a fucked up druggie in your twenties doesn't mean that this generation is following in your massive, terrible footsteps.

Let's see...during my twenties, I finished my bachelor's degree in history, worked as a newspaper editor for a bit, entered graduate school, worked my way through graduate school in a variety of delightfully proletarian trades (dishwashing, stacking sod on a turf farm, house painting and roofing, general farm labor during the summers...) I never took out a student loan, never received a government grant and never took any drugs.

YES WE CAN!! The fact that you don't have any faith whatsoever in this nation's youth and in our presidential candidate shows extreme cowardice lack of intelligence on YOUR part.

My lack of faith in the intelligence and good sense of our nation's youth is the product of...let's see now...eighteen years of daily interaction with said youth in college classrooms in six different states. The basic level of ignorance has increased progressively over that timespan. I am grading the first exam of one of my sections in World History. In response to a question instructing them to compare any two absolutist states that developed in Europe in the 16th Century, fully ten percent of the class chose Japan as one of their examples. Ten percent of this class is under the impression that Japan is part of Europe. Over half of them think that the president sets the tax rate and that he has the power to decree gasoline prices.

AND those celebrities aren't druggies/party people like you say they are. They are famous, yes. This obviously this upsets you. I'm sorry your film/acting/writing degree didn't take you as far as them, but maybe it was due to your lack of talent. Give these people some respect, at least they're doing something!

I gave the video another look. Only two faces looked familiar, a couple of actors who I couldn't put a name to, but I'm pretty sure one of them is on "Lost." I'm not much up on pop culture. I'm not terribly upset at their fame, I just don't see how that fame translates into wisdom. My dismissal of their fame isn't born of frustration on my part for a failed career; I've presented papers at conferences at Oxford University and at the American Historical Association (pretty much the top echelon in my profession) and I've been published on three continents now. As to giving them my respect because "at least they're doing something," do I need to give my respect to the National Zocialistiche Deutscher Arbeiter Partei as well? After all, they were a political movement that was "at least doing something." AND (see, I have a caps lock key too) before you get all bent out of shape and think that I am comparing Barak Obama to the Nazi party, I am not. I am purposefully selecting a very blatant example of a political movement that was "at least doing something" to make the point that not every political expression deserves automatic respect simply because it was articulated.

WE are your future, do you really want to treat us in that manner?

And we are your past. We and the generations that came before us are the reason that you enjoy the freedom to express your political opinion, to disagree with those in positions of governmental power and authority, to mock--as we do--political ideologies and campaign slogans that you find offensive, absurd, or merely empty of substance. We are the ones who have worked and are still working to provide the goods and services that are yours as matters of convinience. We are the taxpayers who have funded student loan programs and educational grants. And because we dare to say "This man has produced no substance, his rhetoric is empty, and this commercial in particular is four minutes and thirty seconds of meaningless repetition," we are villified as failed drug addicts, jealous and untalented losers, and cowardly fools.

Do you really want to treat us in that manner?

Well said. We are glad to have your brain, Betinov! The Party's strength is in its organ donors!

What school do you teach at, Betinov, and can I sign up for your World History class? My West Civ. Prof. was a total moonbat who said everyday that "the rich keep getting richer and the poor keep getting poorer".

The University of the Cumberlands in Williamsburg KY, a small Baptist school most famous in recent years for the expulsion of a homosexual student for violating the school's policy on homosexual behavior. (In a nutshell, it is in the student handbook that Cumberland students must adhere to a certain set of moral values as determined by the Trustees, and among those standards homosexuality is grounds for expulsion. This student began posting on My Space alluding to how much he disliked the university and how much he looked forward to transferring to Eastern Kentucky so he could be with his boyfriend. As I understand it, one of his classmates who had a beef with him on an unrelated issue dropped a dime on him to the administration and he was summarily expelled.) First contract I ever signed with a morality clause that includes a provision that I can be fired for dancing or drinking in public. That being said, it's a pretty good school in academic terms; most of our students who want to go on to a graduate program get in, most of the students that stop at a bachelor's degree can get a job in their field.

Comrade Brain in Jar,

I salute you!!! For this school that you teach at certainly sounds like a bastion for the bourgeois, counter-revolutionary, anti-socialist, christofascist Baptists.

For as his Holiness Lenin has taught, we sometimes must infiltrate these bourgeois institutions and then disrupt from with in. I recommend that you start with "suggesting" a Casino Night fund raiser. Then an SGA sponsored Toga party.

Say... have the "Vote for HuckaHitler" signs gone up there???

I am very good at boring from within, Zampolit. Ask any of my students.

MTE is brilliant, she has new slogan. Yes We Can!

YESWECAN has always been Hillary's slogan. The People like it - and since she is one with the People - it has to be Hillary's! Otherwise people wouldn't have liked it. So it must have come from Hillary. Obamists were trying to steal it but their ploy could not withstand the piercing scrutiny of the Party. Down with Obamists! ELECT HILLARY! YESWECAN! YESWECAN! YESWECAN!

She is last HOPE!
She is our last CHANGE!

HOPE! CHANGE! YES WE CAN!

This is good stuff. Hot, really hot. Really fires the crowd up. A lot better than my "Did you know I served in Vietnam?" campaign crap. Why didn't I think of this stuff four years ago?! Oh well. I guess that's what I get for having French communist mimes write my material.

Who let the non-person out of the Gulag????? Heads will roll!

You people want change? Here ya go [throws pennies, nickels and dimes on the ground]. Oh, wait? You want change as in something different than what is now? Why the heck would you people want that? You live in the wealthiest country in the world. It seems pretty good here to me.

You commies are just freaking crazy.

Filthy kkkapitalist pig!!!

<scurries_to_pick_up_pennies>

How dare you insult our mission by telling such lies! How can a country that is trillions of dollars in debt (absolutely not the democrats fault, but the fault of the masses not being taxed enough to support our fiscal needs like a crack addicted pimp) be wealthy? It only seems good to you because of your rich lifestyle of crapping on the innocent masses while collecting large sums of money through hard work and perseverance! Shame on you....

Yeswecans at the local campaign office

HOPE! CHANGE! KOOL-AID! YES WE CAN! YES WE CAN! I hope Obama opens up his own Jonestown.

Fear not, Comrades! The NAACP is calling on Howard Dean to seat the delegates.

NAACP head calls on Democrats to seat Florida, Michigan delegates

Posted on Tue, Feb. 12, 2008Digg del.icio.us AIM reprint print email

BY BETH FOUHY
Associated Press

WASHINGTON -- A prominent civil rights leader has told the Democratic National Committee that refusing to seat delegates from Florida and Michigan would disenfranchise both states' minority communities.

In a Feb. 8 letter to DNC Chairman Howard Dean, NAACP chairman Julian Bond expressed ''great concern at the prospect that million of voters in Michigan and Florida could ultimately have their votes completely discounted.'' Refusing to seat the states' delegations could remind voters of the ''sordid history of racially discriminatory primaries,'' he said.

Our Comrades in the NAACP know how dangerous a black president is for the "struggle". If a black man were to become president we could no longer portray People of Color as downtrodden victims under the jackboot of the White Heterosexual Christian Male and thus the cash cow that is our Civil Rights racket will dry up. Jesse and Al will be out of work, Comrades - out of work, I tell ya!

Yes, this Barack Hussein Obama is bad news for our perpetual - and very lucrative - racial conflict. We must support the NAACP by helping them get those delegates seated for Hillary and thus prove that whitey is racist, distrusting of a black presidential candidate and will not let go of power! We must keep the race war going! MY INCOME DEPENDS ON IT, COMRADES! I REFUSE TO LIVE IN 2.3 MILLION DOLLAR HOME! I REFUSE TO DO IT!

And congratulations on your school, Betinov. The man who was moaning deserved to be kicked out. I'm homosexual myself but believe in some little thing like personal responsibility. If I entered a school which said straight up front that homosexual behavior (as implied by him having a boyfriend) was grounds for expulsion and then made it clear that I was doing it, I'd have no beef. And you cut down on the decibel level of the self-aggrandizing whining.
<on>

Ivan Betinoff, I am glad to see that you are engaging in the time-honored subversive tactic of enrolling in something with the sole idea of changing it to suit you better. I will not rest until every club is integrated. In fact I am now supporting a legal effort to force a rock-climbing club to take a quadriplegic on rappelling lessons. Of course it will require the demolition of half of the mountain's face to comply with the ADA, and we have yet to work out how that will be squared with the habitat of the Fort Davis Furbish Lousewort that it will destroy, but the important thing is that the mountain climbing club will be destroyed.

Can you next destroy the college's insistence on making grades?

And congratulations on your school, Betinov. The man who was moaning deserved to be kicked out. I'm homosexual myself but believe in some little thing like personal responsibility. If I entered a school which said straight up front that homosexual behavior (as implied by him having a boyfriend) was grounds for expulsion and then made it clear that I was doing it, I'd have no beef. And you cut down on the decibel level of the self-aggrandizing whining.

I for one could care less as to the sexual orientation of my students; I teach history, and I try to keep my opinion out of it. (I have an invisible soapbox in my classroom; whenever I do pontificate my own blather, I inform my students that I am now stepping on the soapbox and they are welcome to call me an idiot for anything I say while on it.) Yes, the university was well within its rights as a private institution to establish whatever code of conduct it sees fit, and this student did violate that code (some of my kids tell me that the expelled student planned to get kicked out so he could sue the school, but this is unsubstantiated student gossip--I don't know that it is true and have no proof one way or another), but I think the situation could have been handled better. As it was, the University got a black eye in the national media (a short sharp shower that passed pretty quickly) and a substantial chunk of funding earmarked for building a pharmacy school here (despite being private, we do get some funding from the state for projects that provide a regional benefit...we are in one of the poorer corners of Appalachia here and are one of the few relatively local institutes of higher learning available) is now tied up in a lawsuit that's likely to drag on for quite some time. And I have probably said enough on this matter; it is still a sore spot on campus best not commented on too deeply by a mere prole such as myself.

One of the things that I've noticed is that with the decline of religious faith people want to take center stage themselves and this seems to be another case of it. I've no religion or faith whatsoever but for some reason do not find it necessary to place myself at the center of the world, nor to subject myself to a higher authority, whose benevolence, or malevolence, I've no proof of.

Always this thrusting, this insistence on making some sort of a mark. I think the major cultural symptom is that these days, in the last 25 years, the words fame, celebrity, and notoriety now are used interchangeably. And when you think of it, that says a lot. It is the result of non-judgmentalism, which killed shame. With the results that you see.

I agree...see my point above in talking about fame.

<off>
Yes, fame does have a sort of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halo_effect">halo effect</a>. It can make some sense in chattel, but in people? Actors and singers are good in one thing. Actors speak someone else's words, are dressed by a third person, managed by yet another, have an assistant, a stylist, a lifestyle guru, and then in, again, some sort of failed religious approximation, some sort of psychic advisor, the most absurd being Scientology. Tom Cruise has a man dedicated to his eyebrows. What a ninny. Notice that in all of this the actor is nothing but a clotheshorse or mannequin, a repository of other people's work and opinions. And the same for singers.

And from this we are supposed to believe that they've done the research which will justify a totalitarian call for the most complete redistribution of OPM in the history of the world, i.e., the First Church of Climatology.

The best interpretation is that a lot of people merely go through life just clueless. Some ungenerous man said that most people merely want a master who is not too mean, and I've given a lot of thought to that. A lot of people don't want to order their lives and have minds and characters which, although not in any way bad or evil, just aren't interested in turning over every rock, and never taking any time off to do nothing.

This doesn't have to be bad and can be wonderful: I've wondered why I have some wonderful people working for me, people whom I rely on and respect and indeed love, people with ability, people I'd do anything for, but who are working for me, glad to take my direction, and who do not resent the money that they make me. I pay them well, but I take home a great deal more. They are not resentful (not a Democrat among them), but find their lives to be all that they want. Even one or two of these people find themselves buying into the bullshit that's being sold wholesale. Not out of meanness, but out ignorance. Stable people, good people, decent people. But there are fewer and fewer of them.

But take people who find thought distasteful (and I ran around, for fun, with these people decades ago, not for their minds but for the life-support systems for what they would be pleased to call their minds), who are morally lazy, who are mentally lazy, people who are greedy, and people who have had their resentment stoked by vicious people, wannabe autocrats, and whose sense of self is defined by resentment rather than achievement, entitlement rather than reality or justice, and you have people who see no reason for work, planning, thought, or achievement.

A brilliant way to get power. Odd, isn't it, how so often things get back to <i>The Fountainhead</i>. But Rand was an optimist. She didn't foresee political correctness.

Thought for the day. It is banal to say that looks are fleeting. But if life is pitched toward being young, if looks are all that is important, as would follow from the sound-bite era and mass communication and the attendant short-attention span, then values will shift toward appearance. Goals will be more and more short term, with less planning done for the future. Thought will be discounted. And with communication, the advent of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smart_mob">smart mobs</a>, texting, the endless chirping of cell phones, which turn conversation into sound bites and enshrine gossip, eliminating any sort of editing, then the final result is going to be ochlochracy: government by mob. And he who controls the mob, controls the world. The Goracle understands this.

Deep thoughts, Theo. If I have time this weekend I'll pile some of mine next to them, but if I can't get around to it I'llk give you the short version here. I agree.

I, for one, spent my 20s reading Plato, Belloc, Kierkegaard, and Tolkien, studying Civil War history, learning about the Catholic Church and reading the writings of Joseph Ratzinger, examining modern literature such as Proust, O'Connor, Joyce, Robbe-Grillet, and Faulkner, making myself thoroughly acquainted with Arthurian literature and discovering the joys of structured poetry. In my off hours I was pursuing beautiful young women and increasing my knowledge of good foreign and domestic beer. I don't think I ever whacked out on anything. But the relative freedom of the era did plant in me a strange fixation with life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness and a remarkable revulsion to anything dictatorial or communist (I also learned during this time about Stalinist Russia, the Hungarian Revolution, and the suffering of the Poles under Communist rule). Anyway... here's another political video I drummed up to remind us what the real fight is all about. Anybody remember Al?

ABCDariusRex, the problem with this lot is not that they're lying, which they are, but that they're evil and they latch onto whatever they can. Global warming has legs, or was made to have legs, and the Chicken Littles, i.e., Useful Idiots, were pleased to stand on the dais and be drama queens for some quality face time with the camera.

If there were mileage in buggy whips, there would have been a film at Sundance about how we need more buggy whips to survive--think <i>Roger and Me</i> by that tendentious sensationalist Michael Moore. Or there would be films about how buggy whips were traumatizing horses. Or how buggy whips were being used in kinky sex with non-consenting adults and there would be no buggy-whip zones around schools.

The problem is that they are not true believers in anything except their will to power. All this is birdlime for fools and fellow travelers. Oh. I'm being redundant. Cancer is not a single disease, I'm told, but a hundred, and curing cancer is really fighting symptoms.

Climate change is the only major religion which is actually subject to falsification--you could, if you wanted, say that we are all here on earth as it is because Big Bird ordained it. Unlikely but it does cover the facts and you can't prove it's not so. Remember that meteorology is called that because once it was thought the weather was caused by meteors. Well, that does explain the fact and cannot be falsified.

And even if you made an utterly airtight refutation, it would make no difference. Hysterical demands to "do something" would still obtain--this is the first-world post-Christian religion. Never forget that. And the savants are going along to work. If you are a scientist, you do research. Question: do you do research which confirms something that you know cannot be true and know you're a liar, or do you tell yourself that you'll make a living doing research and writing it up so it will be useful and you'll get money and attention, or do you refuse to do it and live under de facto house arrest like Galileo? Most I suspect will whore their integrity to the dollar and fame.

Destroying this would only set them back a bit for the time it took to find something else.

Have you read C. S. Lewis <i>Perelandra</i>? I read it some years ago when I had some remnants of Christian faith. I thought, why not read the good Christian apologists instead of listening to the fundamentalist dogma, not even written down, that I'd been fed as a child? Well, I thought and learned but ultimately was not convinced of divinity.

But Lewis was no fool, and in the end Ransom (I hope I remember), the good guy, is trying to keep the Venusian Eve from sleeping on dry land, which is Lewis's version of eating the apple. While the bad man is doing what he can to get her to do it. I have no idea why that's important but this is. Ransom reasons, "What if, in the Garden of Eden, an elephant had stepped on the snake? Would we have had the Fall?"

I don't believe in the Fall, or a state of grace--you cannot believe the religion I was immured in--but I have taken that one final resolution to heart. It is related to the question posed to someone who rejects capital punishment: Would you kill a baby Hitler? Or, avoiding time travel, If you saw a madman setting fire to an orphanage, would you shoot him?

Thx for the reply, Commissar T. Yes, I liked Perelandra and Out of the Silent Planet and That Hideous Strength. Not as good as his novel "Until We Have Faces" but a good series of reads nonetheless. I am not partial to Lewis, though, as his worldview seems somewhat wooden, his fiction somewhat shallow, and his Christianity not nearly as complex as others that I have read. The best fiction writers I've ever encountered (who were believers) are Flannery O'Connor (who died of lupus) Walker Percy (whose father tried to kill him in the woods) Evelyn Waugh (who became a recluse) and Graham Greene (who eventually became a communist). Don't know what that says about the nature of Christian writers (or Catholic anyway) but it certainly points to a wide variety w/in the writing genre. I would highly recommend "The Power and the Glory" and "The End of the Affair" by Graham Greene. But the best read is still the Lord of the Rings (not the Jackson tripe but the real mcCoy; Tolkien unplugged). And yes, when I'm not writing cynical anti-commie satire in an adopted persona I am Catholic; though I think I would probably shock the skin off liberal and conservative Catholics alike (not to say a few Evangelicals and Baptists to boot) with my, shall we say, extensive opinions on the religion and her history. Cheers.

Chairman M. S. Punchenko wrote:I just can't get enough of this guy. His analysis is brillaint and I do believe he will one day become the Progressive answer to Karl Rove. The dissection of HOPE and CHANGE is unlike anything I have seen before and his calling it a "movement" is simply revolutionary.

BRILLIANT! ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT!

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING! To coin a phrase STFU!

No, really, this guy needs better writers. Are all his on strike or something? Maybe that's why he's hiding in the closet so as to avoid angry writers union members for writing his own stuff. Delivery is pretty tepid. Camera work is shoddy and the colors are poor. All in all, a pretty lame effort from Obama supporterman.

(oh, and about the circle jerk thing? Could everyone please weigh in on that cause, I just am not getting too excited yet about that comment. Your contribution would really help me reach a level of understanding which right now I just cannot muster no matter how much I try to shake the weasels!)

Dear Sir or Madam,
