Sunshine!! <br /><br />.....The season when the leeches emerge from their winter slumber in the pond scum, thirsty for living blood. The season when all the bleating sheep are gathered to be shorn. The season when hungry ticks prepare to fasten their teeth into unsuspecting flesh. The season when rapacious snakes emerge looking for warm little mice to sink their fangs into. The season when caterpillars turn hopeful green shoots into dead wood. The season when blowflies prepare to send forth their maggots to feed on flesh that has lost the fight for life. <br /><br />The season when the IRS emerges from their coffins of native soil to suck thirstily at the necks of We The People and turn us into The Undead.<br /><br />Yours in desanguination,<br />Lemuel Gulliver.Lemuel Gullivernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32869165.post-34768100722982895232009-04-24T07:17:00.000-06:002009-04-24T07:17:00.000-06:00Marc 1248

Federal and state taxes, the hidden but substantial costs of regulation, trade protection and numerous subsidies jack up the costs of almost everything that we need to survive. I suggest reading THE TAX RACKET A to Z. Needless to say, the taxes extracted by government are rarely spent where they are supposed to be spent either. Gasoline and tobacco taxes (now 50% of the purchase price of the processed leaf) are good examples but I won't elaborate. Cane sugar costs consumers and businesses twice what it would without the trade protection and monetary subsidies given to a few millionaire growers. Isn't it sickening how collectivist compulsive liars and COMPLETE MORONS like that are always treated like guest geniuses by the MSM?Marchttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05638073945201888881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32869165.post-87203358032633970912009-04-23T21:42:00.000-06:002009-04-23T21:42:00.000-06:00Hey all, go vote for Will to be a guest on Judge N...Hey all, go vote for Will to be a guest on Judge Napolitano's Freedom Watch show.

You said: "I think the term red became...Doc Ellis,<br /><br />You said: "I think the term red became Republican right about the time that Ronald Reagan, a Democrat flying Republican colors, was inflicted into the White House."<br /><br />Exactly so. Reagan was a Statist claiming to be a Republican. How he got away with it was because the State handouts were for big business, not us peasants. Just too as the Neocons were the worst Statists of the breed, riding the Republican machine to power, and destroying it in the process. Even so, if the Neocons had been working for the betterment of the USA, they might have done less damage. Instead, they were working for Israel and the Power Elite.<br /><br />Allen Owen, you said: "[I] feel an overwhelming despair as we ride an express elevator to national socialist hell."<br /><br />You have your terms wrong. Nazism (Hitler's National Socialism) and Fascism (Benito Mussolini's regime, whose emblem was the Roman Fasces) are the repressive alliance of the State with Big Business. Personal freedom and free speech are brutally repressed and the Party controls everything. THAT is the eight years we have just escaped from under Bush, and we are ALREADY in the resulting Nazi hell.<br /><br />Where we ARE supposedly headed, which is certified by a vast concourse of bearded Nostradamuses and beardless diviners of tea leaves, (this after Obama has spent only 3 months on the job to date,) is to COMMUNIST hell. They assure us we have just exchanged Adolf Hitler for Josef Stalin. <br /><br />What makes me skeptical is that Stalin also crushed personal liberty and free speech, and tortured and murdered with abandon. I do NOT see Obama moving in this direction, unlike Bush, who was the mental acolyte of all three dictators.<br /><br />I am certainly glad my numerous employers over the years did not present me with the same horrendous problems Obama has inherited, and ask me to clean them all up in 3 months. The American public is again being bamboozled by the Republlican spin machine, baying like a pack of hounds from the deepest pits of their own personal Hell.<br /><br />Everyone seems to forget that it was BUSH that signed the first $700 billion Banker Bailout Bill, back in late 2008. Unfortunately, Obama seems to be just as much in thrall to the Power Elite as Bush was, and is continuing the vast dole of taxpayer money to the obscenely rich and whining classes. (Notice, if you will, the black single mother in a Detroit tenement was labeled a 'welfare queen,' while the billionaire bankers in their Learjets are labeled 'unfortunate businessmen who made bad choices.')<br /><br />I suppose in the human lottery, every one who is white and rich with flawless skin and teeth and whose daddy went to Yale and lives in Connecticut is worth many thousands of black, pockmarked, poor, diseased, mothers in tenements. Doesn't the Bible tell us so?<br /><br />While I am willing to give Obama more time to do his job, I do agree he has made a bad start. It is way past time that the entire fiat money system, all the banks and the Federal Reserve, all exploitative businesses and the entire power elite, should be allowed to go bankrupt and plunge the world into utter chaos and a new revolution. I would like to see the lampposts of Washington adorned with severed heads, starving mobs with machetes and carving knives roaming the streets, and the chateaux of the CEOs and CFOs going up in flames, with the occupants still inside.<br /><br />However I do not see this ever happening, or, not just yet anyway. I believe the situation will go from bad to worse. There will be an illusive recovery in commodity prices, as the trillions of newly printed dollars flow upwards into the pockets of the speculator class, which will do nothing to help the unemployed debtor classes. We the debtors will instead be squeezed even more than we are now by skyrocketing inflation, and the next economic crash will make this one look like a kindergarten easter egg hunt.<br /><br />The human race has lost its soul. No politician anywhere in the world ever runs for office on the concept of restoring dignity, fellowship, honor, morality, charity, and humanity to the electorate. Instead they run on the idea that they will make everybody filthy rich. I do not think this pursuit of money has been very satisfying to the souls of humanity. The hungry natives of the Third World are often happier in themselves than the millionaires of the First World.<br /><br />It is time to expose the fiat money system and the pursuit of imaginary wealth for what it is - the nightmare of the leeches and maggots of the human race, into which they have sucked everyone else.<br /><br />Please - go eat your favorite food and ask yourself if you would trade your sense of taste and smell for a million dollars. If you have a child, go kiss it now and ask yourself if you would sell him or her for ten million dollars. Go look at a sunset and ask yourself if you would sell your eyesight for a billion dollars. Go sit next to a dying multibillionaire and ask how many dollars he is taking with him to bribe God with when he stands before God's throne to be judged.<br /><br />Money is not everything.<br /><br />The human society of the world is sick. It throws away priceless pearls of the spirit, and scavenges Satan's dumpster for material trash. It is time, long past time, this rotten system was allowed to fail and be exposed for the sham it is.<br /><br />THAT is why I disagree with what Obama is doing. But never mind, the laws of mathematics, the laws of finance and the laws of God will not fail, and we will ALL suffer for our foolishness.<br /><br />Lemuel Gulliver.Lemuel Gullivernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32869165.post-4063348690507035292009-04-22T22:32:00.000-06:002009-04-22T22:32:00.000-06:00The only time I've seen "This Island Earth" was th...The only time I've seen "This Island Earth" was the Mystery Science Theater 3000 version.

Five minutes later, the hated "them" in question suggests leaving "us" alone and these people are up in arms about what a treasonous suggestion this is. Along with that are the constant declarations that THEY know what "the real America" is or isn't, and the people the so disgust them are part of some obviously backwards, out-of-touch minority.<br /><br />My god... a nation of busybodies, a nation of out-of-touch minorities. I can't wait for everyone to get over this silly myth that America is some unified, middle-class place full of similar "average Joes." Maybe when people accept that this is a land diverse, always has been, always will be (yes, yes, I know, they annoyingly pay lip service to this idea, too!), it won't be so incredibly "offensive" to them to suggest that maybe we need NOT all be held together in political unity at the point of a gun.<br /><br />This country is practicing social polygamy and needs a number of political divorces.TAYLORhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18270678440957992085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32869165.post-78587265171036985872009-04-22T07:23:00.000-06:002009-04-22T07:23:00.000-06:00My grandfather was a doctor in WW2, Mr. Amato, but...My grandfather was a doctor in WW2, Mr. Amato, but I would not suggest you let me do surgery on you, no matter what uniform I should choose to wear.<br />----------------<br /><br />Splendid blog, here, with Constitutionality AND 50's Sci Fi pop-culture references for the win!<br /><br />Oh, and BRIAN BLESSED.The Aardvarkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11425052822588090155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32869165.post-51268084357323612712009-04-21T22:21:00.000-06:002009-04-21T22:21:00.000-06:00Your writing is superb!

It would make perfect sense. It's certainly in complete keeping with the Grotesquely Obtuse Party's track record for putting front and center the dregs of the political barrel and then wondering why they've become the nation's political laughingstock (can we say "Bob Dole" and "George W. Bush?"). <br /><br />I guess that by this point it has become apparent to the "leadership" of both factions of the Central Party that there is no longer any need to even maintain appearances. Since it's been proven conclusively by the election (twice) of the Bushtard and more recently of the Obamunist that you can indeed fool ALL of the people ALL of the time, why even pretend to stand on principle or embrace honesty?liberranterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00555275410576294081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32869165.post-44575037131918402672009-04-21T11:18:00.000-06:002009-04-21T11:18:00.000-06:00Yes, yes, and yes to Anon., too.

Looking at all of politics as some TV show in its sixth season is surprisingly productive. Think about it: all the old guard neo-cons (and other characters who have overstayed their welcome and become dead weight) have been written off the show: Cheney, Rumsfeld, Bush etc, and now Obama and his sycophants and handlers have taken center stage as the main protagonists. <br /><br />But wait!
