Tyranny Comes From the Populace’s Acceptance

“The Discourse of Voluntary Servitude is lucidly and coherently structured around a single axiom, a single percipient insight into the nature not only of tyranny, but implicitly of the State apparatus itself. Many medieval writers had attacked tyranny, but La Boétie delves especially deeply into its nature, and into the nature of State rule itself. This fundamental insight was that every tyranny must necessarily be grounded upon general popular acceptance. In short, the bulk of the people themselves, for whatever reason, acquiesce in their own subjection. If this were not the case, no tyranny, indeed no governmental rule, could long endure. Hence, a government does not have to be popularly elected to enjoy general public support; for general public support is in the very nature of all governments that endure, including the most oppressive of tyrannies. The tyrant is but one person, and could scarcely command the obedience of another person, much less of an entire country, if most of the subjects did not grant their obedience by their own consent.” (Murray N. Rothbard),

Lord Moncton on Obama Signing Us Up for the World Order

As Obama prepared to commit the US (and its’ sovreignty?) to a Global Treaty, what is really behind this threat to our country and how will it play out? Fear Cap ‘n Trade and unelected big brothers near and far.

“Climate change is simply an excuse to construct a monstrous international bureaucracy that meets many times each year in exotic venues around the world. Billions of dollars flow into and out of the climate change industry. No one involved in the climate change business wants to hear anything other than a new horror story to put the fear of catastrophe into appropriators.

Dissent is worse than a dirty word at these U.N. meetings. The actual meetings where negotiations occur are closed. Mercy be unto anyone caught with a tape recorder or video camera in an area other than a lobby of cafeteria, or when accompanied by a U.N. staff member. Literature may not be distributed unless first approved by the U.N. staff. In fact, ordinary people cannot even get into one of these meetings. Only official delegates of a government, approved representatives of accredited NGOs, or approved press professionals can register.

Watch the momentum mount as the December meeting draws closer. Ice caps will melt faster, oceans will rise higher, droughts will be more severe, snow falls will be deeper, ice storms will be slicker, crops will fail more often, men will become impotent, and African pygmies will be recruited by the Boston Celtics – all because of climate change – with the only cure being enslavement by a new Copenhagen Protocol to the Climate Change Treaty.”

Green and Red Equal? Yosi’s Call To Action (Propagandists Unite)

Yosi The Propagandist, Adios

Yosi is gone at NEA’s for his call on Leftist artists to generate more visual propaganda for O. It is so evident anymore that Green BS is a means to an end. Regressive efforts to break down the system under yet another guilt driven assault to change our ways and yield to the State.

MANIFESTHOPE: DC ONLINE CONTEST WINNERS

MANIFESTHOPE: DC offered artists and activists from across the United States the opportunity to submit artwork in an online contest and to join the high profile exhibit on display in Washington, DC during the week of the Presidential Inauguration.

These works, based on three themes- HEALTH CARE REFORM, WORKERS’ RIGHTS, and THE GREEN ECONOMY - were then evaluated by a panel of renowned judges, including Anne Ellegood (Curator of Contemporary Art, Smithsonian Hirshhorn Museum), David Rolf (President, SEIU Healthcare 775NW), Eric Hilton (Thievery Corporation and ESL Music), Laura Dawn (MoveOn.org Creative & Cultural Director, Artist), and Robbie Conal (Artist), Shepard Fairey (Artist, Obey Giant), Spike Lee (Producer, Director, Actor) and Van Jones (Author, Founder Green for All & Co-Founder Ella Baker Center for Human Rights).

RNP Coalition of……….? (Newt in the Backwaters)

Let our banner proclaim our belief in a free market as the greatest provider for the people. Let us also call for an end to the nit-picking, the harassment and over-regulation of business and industry which restricts expansion and our ability to compete in world markets.

Let us explore ways to ward off socialism, not by increasing government’s coercive power, but by increasing participation by the people in the ownership of our industrial machine. Our banner must recognize the responsibility of government to protect the law-abiding, holding those who commit misdeeds personally accountable.

And we must make it plain to international adventurers that our love of peace stops short of “peace at any price.” We will maintain whatever level of strength is necessary to preserve our free way of life.

A political party cannot be all things to all people. It must represent certain fundamental beliefs which must not be compromised to political expediency, or simply to swell its numbers. I do not believe I have proposed anything that is contrary to what has been considered Republican principle. It is at the same time the very basis of conservatism.

It is time to reassert that principle and raise it to full view. And if there are those who cannot subscribe to these principles, then let them go their way.         Michelle Malkin re Newt’s Brain Fart

The O White House sleaze factor at its best. Michelle Malkin & Glenn Beck high light Leftist Anita Dunn. Sleazette behind the Fox News hit job you have noted this past month. Not working. I wonder who is wearing the pumps out of view.

‘Climate Modelling Nonsense’ (John Reid)

“The quasi-religious nature of AGW is evidenced by the rancour which is generated when people like me express scepticism about the theory. Scepticism is an essential part of science which has, until recently, been a “small-l liberal” pursuit in which the opinions of doubters were respected. Now we sceptics are called “deniers” and, by implication, lumped in with neo-Nazis who question the Holocaust. The accusation that we are somehow in the sway of the oil companies and similar big business interests is commonplace and indeed is the chief argument of non-scientist supporters of the AGW theory. This echoes the “work of the Devil” argument of fundamentalist Christians; it is a mental trick by which the faithful avoid facing the real issues.”

“A scientific theory is not tested merely by looking for confirmations but by conscientiously trying to “break” the theory, by trying to disprove it. The AGW theory is encapsulated in the IPCC assessment reports. The models discussed in these reports have not been tested in this way. These reports include sections on “Verification and Validation” but none on testing. “Verification” means that only data which support the theory are examined and data which do not support it are ignored. Indeed the authors of this section in the IPCC Third Assessment Report specifically dismiss the need for rigorous testing when they state: “our evaluation process is not as clear cut as a simple search for ‘falsification’” (Section 8.2.2 on page 474). Effectively what they are saying is: proper scientific testing is too hard and we are not going to bother doing it.”

Charles Krauthammer on America’s Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (Slip..Slidin’ Away)

Headed For The Fall

CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER WRITES:

“The current foreign policy of the United States is an exercise in contraction. It begins with the demolition of the moral foundation of American dominance. In Strasbourg, President Obama was asked about American exceptionalism. His answer? “I believe in American exceptionalism, just as I suspect that the Brits believe in British exceptionalism and the Greeks believe in Greek exceptionalism.”

Interesting response. Because if everyone is exceptional, no one is. Indeed, as he made his hajj from Strasbourg to Prague to Ankara to Istanbul to Cairo and finally to the U.N. General Assembly, Obama drew the picture of an America quite exceptional–exceptional in moral culpability and heavy-handedness, exceptional in guilt for its treatment of other nations and peoples. With varying degrees of directness or obliqueness, Obama indicted his own country for arrogance, for dismissiveness and derisiveness (toward Europe), for maltreatment of natives, for torture, for Hiroshima, for Guantánamo, for unilateralism, and for insufficient respect for the Muslim world.

Quite an indictment, the fundamental consequence of which is to effectively undermine any moral claim that America might have to world leadership, as well as the moral confidence that any nation needs to have in order to justify to itself and to others its position of leadership.”

Fox ‘not really news,’ says Axelrod (Propaganda via The Others Continues)

Fox News a Point of View

The above is so silly it seems to not warrant a response. Of course they have a ‘perspective’ as does all the other msm or State Run Media outlets. Criticize & Isolate. The Obama/Leftist Propaganda effort continues.

Health Care Reform: Obama and The Left (Missing The Point…On Purpose I Suppose)

Peggy Noonan writes:

“People who oppose a health-care overhaul are not in love with insurance companies. They’re not even in love with the status quo. Everyone knows the jerry-built system of the past half-century has weak points. They just don’t think the current plan will shore them up. They think the plan would create new weak points and widen old ones. They think this because they have brains.” (more)

Intuitively, those that value individualism sense the threat. They also understand ego, compromise and power. It is evident to any self supporting man or woman that values liberty over the State that Obama et al are manipulating the message for the sake of power and individual ego needs.

Obama and his like minded cabal are liars and the followers of these manipulative charlatans only ignore this because of their belief in the State’s power over the individual’s ability to lead their life in balance with their fellow man. They do not believe the individual is capable of rectifying the inevitable neglects of man. Brother’s Keeper become’s Nanny’s Benevolence. Liberty is lost in the process.

Obama’s Fanciful Affliction:  “Today, upon hearing the news of Obama’s ascension into the exalted rank of Peacemaker Supreme, I thought of Alonso Quixano who reinvented himself as Don Quixote de la Mancha. I thought of the foolish old man who was so enamored by the fiction of the chivalric romances that he imagined himself surrounded by giants, kings, castles and fair damsels when the reality was something else altogether.

To the Don Quixotes of the world, and probably to Obama himself, it matters not that all he has done is waste other people’s money and vote ‘present’ when the going gets tough. All that matters is that he talks the talk, that he spins the romantic fictions they want to hear. They are not people to be taken seriously. Don Quixote’s earnest obliviousness was funny, theirs is not.”
