I’m Not Jumping……Get Away From Me!

Off we go. I did not vote for this. I voted for the lesser evil. The majority did not vote for this. Most voted for the feel good BS of Hope and Change. The relentless anti-Bush msm mantra worked. Now, the small Leninist cabal stand to permanently damage the fabric of this country. Tattered as that fabric has become, it did not have to be thrown in the recycling bin.

Anger does not begin to describe my emerging disgust and loathing for the people elected to represent. Democrat or Republican…I think I am done.

My frustration is so palpable that my impulse….well, you don’t want to know.

The fallacy of this country is not the free market. It is the greed by RINO’s and Democrats alike. The acquisition of power. We sit helpless short of violence to resolve this. The ballot box is not timely enough for the damage about to be done. The Republicans disgust me. The handwringers of the Left are quiet now re abuse of power and war. Hypocrisy is evident. A lesson for the Right in the future: don’t tout values and principles and then violate them at every turn. You disgust me as much as the Left does! I will not jump and don’t crowd me.

Bumbling Biden Nails It For Once (Group v. Individualism)

“I believe so strongly, as you may recall when I was here in October, not in you particularly but your generation, that I don’t have a single doubt in my mind we’re on the cusp not only of a new century but a new day for this country and the world.”

“Aside from the insulting hilarity, that bit actually sums up liberals pretty well. They are enamored of groups but not so much the individuals that make them up.”

I find it intriguing that now that O is in power the hipster, pious crowd I encounter are too busy to pay much attention to what is transpiring. They know it has to be good because first it is not Bush or Republicans, nor religious nut cases, or Sarah Palin so all is well and besides they are planning their next group function. Always preoccupied with the next group function. Always planning the next trip to somewhere, but here in the U.S.(excluding communing with nature…in a group). They are oblivious to what is transpiring on a daily basis with Obama et al. Government is their servant..their friend. They are clueless and if at all alert only to AP drivel, NPR monotone propaganda or CNN droning in the background of waiting rooms at doctor’s, tire centers, hospitals or airport lounges. Killing time they pick up snippets that reinforce the already inserted perceptions. The Group. The Community. Did I say intriguing…no pathetic.

 Have Not Done It “My Way”

~ by OneMoreOption

This morning it was widely reported that a British survey has found that the song “My Way” is the most popularly played song at funerals.  This is somewhat amusing to me personally because I have a close relative who has asked that “My Way” be played at their funeral.

“My Way” is a great song.  Depending on how it is sung, it can filled with pride, regret, and woe all in the same performance.

I would not describe my story as having lived “My Way.”  Instead, I am a collector, a borrower, a thief, and an emulator.  I watch everyone, every idea, and everything around me, attempting to incorporate the best parts of others into a repotoire – an online library and a human library of associations, connections, and comparisons.

I have rarely been an originator.  Rather, I have regularly worked to combine, filter, compare, compose, and coordinate others’ ideas and artworks.  My work is not to promote ”my way;”  rather, it has been to show the best things I have seen from others.

Obama & Democrat Voter Profile (Group Think…Pious Arrogance)

“I carry a commitment to community which extends earthwide…”

Well, I would expect ‘community’, I see that often associated to Leftist agenda projects, as it is part of that grassroots coordination effort and the coalescing of ‘collective’ thought. The ‘global’ or ‘planet’ or ‘earthwide’ community awaits the Obamabot re climate change, food production (anti-agri & pro ‘local’), perhaps a global currency, world Courts, global rights. All this ignores sovereignty, nationalism (that old war causing concept) and individual rights (already a fading concept in the U.S.). The Group rules for the good of the Greater Good. 

The above quote was in a Portland, Oregon newspaper touting a group project and a woman recruiting to her cause, a ‘global’ cause, at the ‘community’ level. The individual is lost… I guarantee none of these global citizens would have had the fortitude to settle this country. They are, to their credit, at least excited about breaking ground in their backyard to plant a garden and grow vegetables for their consumption…something that was the norm just 40 years ag0. But, beyond that the earth citizen looks outward and one would imagine with disdain at anyone concerned about borders, culture and the short term history of the U.S…..a country not worthy of Nationalistic fervor…             

Don’t Give Margaret or Helen a Gun (The Lame Twits Would Use It)

 So the People’s Cube has the above twits amply identified. They are the community snitches that would send you to the Gulag. The followers. The willing accomplices. The graves of millions were necessitated by the self righteous Margaret and Helens of the world. Enjoy your free speech, but don’t come near me on your damn scooters or else, as you say.  A ‘cost benefit analysis’ for Margaret and Helen: pull the fecking plug.  

Jackasses

Guilt, even Catholic Guilt, is becoming so entwined with our choices. Of course, it is by relentless design to gain compliance without force…social contracts of sort overladen with guilt. It has, to some degree, been part of the arrangement since man decided to form societal agreements…hence, ‘guilty’ as charged. But today, there is new codes of conduct and new forms of compliance. Whether from the Leftist religious pulpit that goes on about ‘community’ and having too much or from gasbag bitches like Margaret and Helen, there is the ranting toward the end of group think and compliance. As the two aforementioned Ensure swilling twits rail on about…’or else’. Implying what? Force? The smothering of speech perhaps by tribunals controlled by the ilk of Helen and Margaret types and their  adoring mass followers? (That alone is worth reading to see the robotic, intellectul depths of the readers….if M & H aren’t real, then the followers are even more pathetic).

 ”The objective of the Progressive movement is to force a change in the society so that we no longer have to wait around for voluntary contributions from the guilty. Instead, we will forcibly extract as much money as we deem necessary to maintain and advance Progress™, which is our brand name for systematic wealth extraction. A planned extraction facilitates control over the guilt-ridden masses by well-meaning Party apparatchiks and a more seamless central planning of state-run economy in the name of the Common Good™”

Gay McCarthyism (Explain the difference of techniques)

In reading Malkin’s posts re pressure being brought to bare upon businesses and individuals, who supported Prop 8 in Calif. I am struck, as many are, by the Left’s hypocrisy. These tactics are identical to the 50’s McCarthy techniques, minus hearings. That will be the next step no doubt…commissions ala Canada…to flesh out beliefs, speech, writing. For now the Gay movement is flexing its financial clout and shoutdown pecs toward those that supported Prop. 8. I guess that is their collective right, but next time some evangelical group flexes their might, I hope the technique is not brought into question. Argue the merits of principles, but apparently the technique must stand. For now, support all businesses that the Gay’s blacklist. For those of you that cave and quit your positions, be glad, for now, that is the worst that is offered. Should we ever devolve to hearings and commissions and tribunals, regardless of the political persuasion in power, we have gone too far in copying the Euros or worse. For the record, I oppose Prop. 8 and the Cali Supreme’s prior ruling. I support Gay Civil Unions. I don’t support Gay thugs, nor Gay bashing.           

Who will the witch hunters go after next?

Obama’s Community Service To…..A Sense of Belonging? (To Servitude)

Obama’s “Universal” Service Plan - Part 1

Training a Socialist Army of World Servers

By Berit Kjos – September 2008

Brave New World: “A really efficient totalitarian state would be one in which the all-powerful executive of political bosses and their army of managers control a population of slaves who do not have to be coerced because they love their servitude. To make them love it is the task assigned… to ministries of propaganda, newspaper editors and schoolteachers.”[4] Aldous Huxley

Service learning” isn’t a new phenomenon. It has been well tested by U.S. educators for more than a decade. What’s new is the scale of Obama’s plan. His massive system would press students and citizens of all ages in a revolutionary government-led program to change the way we think and relate to each other.

I will call on a new generation of Americans to join our military…. I will expand AmeriCorps to 250,000 slots, and make that increased service a vehicle to meet national goals like providing health care and education, saving our planet and restoring our standing in the world, so that citizens see their efforts connected to a common purpose.[2]

Obama’s “Universal” Service Plan  - Part 2

Mind Change and Collective Service

By Berit Kjos – October 2008

 

LOVING THEIR SERVITUDE

“Belongingness” is the “ultimate need of the individual,” wrote William Whyte, co-author of The Organization Man. His benchmark book — a bestseller back in the sixties — describes group thinkers who would gladly trade their home-taught convictions for the warm fuzzies of “belongingess.”

According to Whyte, “man exists as a unit of society,” and “only as he collaborates with others does he become worth while.”[10]That sad assumption provided a useful “crisis” that spurred vast numbers of transformational “leadership training” conferences everywhere. As Whyte said,

“What is needed is an administrative elite, people trained to recognize that what man really wants most is group solidarity even if he does not realize it himself. … They won’t push him around; they won’t even argue with him… They will adjust him. Through the scientific application of human relations, these… technicians will guide him into satisfying solidarity with the group so skillfully and unobtrusively that he will scarcely realize how the benefaction has been accomplished.”[10]

Two decades earlier, Aldous Huxley had shared his concern about such “belongingness.” Knowing the manipulative tactics behind collectivism, he wrote in Brave New World,

“The most important Manhattan Projects of the future will be vast government-sponsored enquiries into what the politicians and the participating scientists will call ‘the problem of happiness’ — in other words, the problem of making people love their servitude….

“The love of servitude cannot be established except as the result of a deep, personal revolution in human minds and bodies. To bring about that revolution we require… First, a greatly improved technique of suggestion…

Dick Armey in the WSJ (Bush’s Compassionate Conservatism phoney Neo Drivel) & Reject the Neo Aristo’s & Screw Angleou, Too!

Someone within the Republican Party or whatever Party captures the Conservative’s imagination must call BS on the Neo Con’s. Only Libertarians and Paleo’s delight in this and for me they seem to take on as much glee as a Leftist in highlighting the downfall of the Party. That does not set well with me…there is something there as smelly as a Neo for me…not sure what it is…almost an arrogant-elitism equal to the Left….an attitude not borne of middle America. Is there just no end to the power addiction and arrogance of the Right and the Left? We have become too big and this only invites power whores that envision reshaping in images that never will resonate with Americans.

Ready to Topple

Ok, so Armey didn’t say exactly what the header says. But, it was close enough. Where in the hell has Dick Armey been for 8 damn years while Bush et al drove the Party over the cliff? I agree with much of what Armey say re limited government, spending and why the Party lost  control in 2006. BUT, I do not see it remarked upon about something else I recall in 2006..something that was pounded upon for months and went unaswered: Republican Hypocrisy.   The hypocrisy that any middle American get pissed off about and that any Liberal enjoys pointing too. Fecking queer (no offense to queers) and self rightous congressmen chasing boys and doing the foot tap in bathroom stalls was the turning point!! Do you remember that?  American’s Hate Hypocrisy….I do!!!!! 

 That is one reason why religion, whether it is an under pinning to values or not, must be reduced as a focal point in Republican pronouncements. Constantly pontificating over morals, values, religion only sets every moralistic spewer up for the hypocrisy label. Every bit as damaging as spending like a drunken sailor on a whore, while in port. Stop with the bible waving…enough! Live it and shut up already. 

Another thing: I am sickened by the adoration of a single human to save us (Obama) and would be equally sickened by the adoration of a messiah from the Right. Would Reagan really want all this adoration? There is something deplorably weak about the masses chasing a single person and bland words. Principles, principles, principles not a person.  

“The liberal pundits who embraced the candidacy of Barack Obama are also eager to issue a death certificate for free market capitalism. They’re wrong, and they remind me of what the great Willie Nelson once said: “I’m ragged but I’m right.”

To be sure, the American people have handed power over to the Democrats. But today there is a categorical difference between what Republicans stand for and the principles of individual freedom. Parties are all about getting people elected to political office; and the practice of politics too often takes the form of professional juvenile delinquency: short-sighted and self-centered.

This was certainly true of the Bush presidency. Too often the policy agenda was determined by short-sighted political considerations and an abiding fear that the public simply would not understand limited government and expanded individual freedoms. How else do we explain “compassionate conservatism,” No Child Left Behind, the Medicare drug benefit and the most dramatic growth in federal spending since LBJ’s Great Society?”

—————-

“Our career-serving political class, the education establishment, the traditional news media, the people responsible for (in a good and in a bad way) for our movies and television entertainment — it seems of late that too many of them are singing with the same voice and the same song. Different words, perhaps, and out of some obscure motivation, but all to the same end, and now and again I detect some whisper of the same motivating contempt for the American public. Contempt for our tastes or lack of same, of our habits in shopping, amusing ourselves, our persistent attachment to religious beliefs, to habits of self-sufficiency, and our stubborn disinclination to do or believe as our self-nominated betters dictate — it’s all on very ugly display. The media gang-up on Joe the Plumber, for having the impertinence to ask a tough question of the favored candidate was just the most recent and most open, and the most unsettling display.

Really, what do these new aristos expect of the masses, the proletariat, the common citizenry? More and more I have the feeling that we are seen as a kind of herd animal, to be periodically sheared like sheep, relieved of whatever fleece or funds that the new aristos feel they could make better use of, to do as we are told, to not really consider our property, our children, or our earnings as our own. If the aristos decide that they require such things to be given up… well, then, fall in line the loyal peasantry. And don’t forget to smile.”

“We are being put back in our place, after a two-hundred plus year experiment of being responsible and independent citizens – not so much by actual physical repression, but by words … words and deeds wielded by the new aristos, to wreck our institutions from the inside, and water down those basic freedoms as established in the constitution, to shred free speech and condemn us to silence for fear of a mob – a mob directed by an unholy confabulation of the aristos. Not too late to go storm the Bastille though – on Voting Day. Don’t give up. Ever.”

“Maya Angelou No Longer Ashamed of America

There is one bright side to the Moonbat Messiah’s catastrophic election, other than not having to pretend anymore not to detest John McCain. Now Maya Angelou doesn’t have to be ashamed of her country. Here she goes:

I realized almost within a minute, I don’t have to apologize for my country when I’m abroad. I can say, “I belong to a great country,” and there are Europeans who say, “Aren’t you glad to be here in France where we don’t have the racism you live under? Aren’t you glad you’re here in Britain?” I mean, I’ve been on the defensive so long. But this time I can say, “I am an American, look at us, look at what we’ve just achieved.”

What we’ve achieved: we elected a completely unqualified, ultra-left punk on the basis of his skin color. Now European countries will have to elect inexperienced blacks or Arabs with radical backgrounds to prove they’re as suicidally politically correct as we are, or we can look down our noses at them for a change.

To borrow from Michelle Obama, for the first time in my adult life, I’m not proud of my country.”

Leftist All Agree On How To Overcome……(Group Think Techniques)

GROUP OR TEAM PROJECTS IN SCHOOL~TEAM BUILDING; SOUND FAMILIAR? 

ANOTHER WAY TO VIEW TEAM BUILDING AS AN INDIVIDUAL. THAT REALLY IS AT THE HEART ISN’T IT? YOUR INNER INSTINCT TO BE AN INDIVIDUAL, A FREE MAN OR WOMAN AND TO BE ALWAYS SUSPECT OF THE GROUP MENTALITY. ‘COMMUNITY’ CAN BE A DANGEROUS WORD.

” It is our contention that group projects are criminal in themselves and should be abolished on moral grounds, in that they function as collectivist indoctrination.  Like government schools, group projects homogenize thought and neuter high achievers.

Individuality is forced out of our kids at an early age. After all, group projects are often the standard for young children in childcare situations, where the young ones are often taught that individuals don’t do things or go places, groups do. By college age, the collective cast of mind has only gotten more oppressive. Groupthink is a process of gradualism that seeks to gently merge the followers into a pack with leaders…”

“In other cases, the shirking of duties simply cannot be overcome. High achievers are forced to relax their standards and accept being reduced to the lowest common denominator in the group. This can have a dreadful effect on work ethic and attitudes through the following insidious lessons instilled by group projects:

Lesson 1:  You will learn cooperation, not competition.Lesson 2:  The achiever will be taxed: The reward of his efforts will go to others, so the low achiever who exerts little effort and contributes almost nothing will be taken care of by the professor (serving as the government).

Lesson 3:  Individualism will not be allowed. The individual with the best ideas will do what the group decides. If you have an original or daring thought, forget it. The group will write up a bland sack of platitudes that represents the thinking of its lowest common denominator.

Lesson 4:  Conservatism and caution are the name of the game. Whereas high achievers constantly strive to better themselves and have the room to operate in a more daring realm, the low achievers want things quickly and easily as they conform to less strict standards for excellence. The result is likely to be one of mediocrity.

Lesson 5:  Get used to the emotional feel of a collectivist, totalitarian state. If you are an individualist with a work ethic and a drive to excel, you will be pounded down until you adopt the debilitating, depressing learned helplessness that socialism produces. If you are a slacker, however, a free rider with no qualms about living on the purloined toil of honest people, you can feel relieved, satisfied, secure; if you are a thoroughgoing scumbag, you can even feel pride in any good grade given you on the backs of your teammates.”

Fairness Doctrine

Get use to the words. Uttered with self assurance of validity and in thwarting hate speech by the Right. It will be floated over and over until, as usual, the thought seems reasonable and acceptable. It doesn’t affect the group think person. So, why not? It make everyone more at peace with the utopian mindset. Remember don’t rock the boat. 

Socialist, Frustrated Planners, The Reich and The Leftist Nexus

http://www.eyeblast.tv/public/Default.aspx

One thing I have noted while studying various political writers in the blogosphere is the propensity for name calling and labeling (yes, I have been known to partake also). The common label for the Right or Conservatives is Nazi or for the President is Hitler. Below, is a snippet from the Politico forum that sets forth the Socialist and Nazi nexus. I find these historical comparisons with today’s events thought provoking. It is not enough to label anyone or any group Nazis etc. It is the why, the trigger points that should be watched for whether discussing Nazis, Communists, Theocrats, Socialists, Anarchists whatever the group or movement. Trends, momentum, and propaganda momentum are the ticket. How fast is the groundswell gaining on one of these philosophical positions is the question. Nationalism, economic stressors, ‘Messiahs’ in our midst, Group Think, Anger. The below opinion from a Comment(er) at Politico has not been verified by me as accurate. I post it to make one think and question. If true it is fascinating (yes?) and if partly true fascinating (why?) Studying Conservative, Libertarian, Anarchist, Statist, Socialist reference points is important. It will help to recognize the trends in moving rhetoric from the MSm or Messianic orators.         

“Socialist origins of Neo-Nazism The ideological origins of Nazism are with the left. The term Nazi itself is short for the National Socialist German Workers Party. Nazism was fashioned as a totalitarian nationalist alternative to the totalitarian international socialism of the Lenin model. But national or international, the relevant word is socialist, which should be the first tip-off to Nazism’s leftist origins. It was no accident that the Nazi flag was a red banner; it was taken from the flag of socialism.

As Erik von Kuehnelt-Leddihn showed in his book, “Leftism” (1974 and 1990), Hitler and all his top lieutenants were hard-core socialists who hated everything about the old Europe, including small states, the monarchs, the Church, the landed aristocracy, peace, and the free economy of the 19th century. They imagined themselves running a centralized, protectionist, and statist Germany under the executive-branch “leadership principle.” They talked constantly of a proletarian revolution that would destroy the bourgeois class.

Furthermore, as Robert Proctor showed in “Racial Hygiene: Medicine Under the Nazis” (1988), the Nazis were health fanatics who banned cigarette smoking, promoted vegetarianism and organic gardening, engaged in abortion and euthanasia, frowned on all capitalist excess, and even promoted animal rights. They were environmentalists who locked up land from development to promote paganism. The Nazi government introduced socialized medicine and government-mandated vacations at government spas, imposed handgun control, and expanded unemployment “insurance” and Social Security. The Nazis opposed the traditional calendar and wanted to replace it withonecentered on race and nation rather than faith and family.

A new study of Nazi make-work programs of the 1930s by Dan P. Silverman (“Hitler’s Economy,” 1998) shows that Hitler’s government pursued a program of “public investment” even more far reaching than the U.S. New Deal. This government imagined itself as the employer of every citizen, the planner of every production decision, and the redistributor of every accumulated pocket of wealth in society. From the Nazi point of view, full glory came during the war when they took over the economy completely, Soviet-style. Whatever you want to call a violent movement that idealizes Hitler’s socialist Third Reich, “right-wing” doesn’t cut it.”
