the IDIOT

well, i’ve had it with morons bleating “Broken Window Fallacy”, in error, every lone indicator they sniff. this post will be updated with whatever fun bullshit’s written to me in the comments of this vid from here.

as with much argument, asserting BWF w/o foundation is simply cowardly straw man for the sole purpose of making your opponent look stupider than his argument alone. what appeals so strongly to “BWF!” bleaters is precisely how obviously stupid the fallacy is. however, it’s so stupid that even most stupid masochists of the state don’t assert it outside of their holy war fixation. the BWF-bleaters want the associated absurdity tainting their opponents without the opponents meeting all the criteria of BWF, the most outrageous of which being acclaim for and defense of a destruction layer before the layers dealt with as a complete package elsewhere in bastiat’s book.

on tour for the book for the movement that easily eclipses all the ron paul rah-rah rot ever produced, lunatic catholicizer thomas woods has chiseled his rhetoric to world class form. no idjit caller may thwart him. the motherfucker is heated to katana-forging temperature, and without apology slices straight from the fire. “punch, MFer! oh, did you like? you’re welcome, sir, and may have another. ka-BOOM! yes, it appears you enjoy the taste of bare fist. excellent.”

linked below, easily among the top 7 liberty-for-dunces radio interviews ever, with a marvelously benign state-radio host and damned few language/argument/tone missteps (noticed only one of mentionable significance, and won’t mention it). rare. listen to this pope-worshiping bastard take the mary ruwart playbook and transform it into a thing of — if possible — cleaner, heavier beauty, so powerful that even the taint of “gradualism” and “founder”-slurping cooks off to a near negligible margin.

listen and get infected by whatever germ took hold of woods in the last month. if afterward you think i oversold it, go give oral pleasure to a swamp chicken. training can magnify, and woods has obviously been working the heavy bag regularly to enable swift destruction of all variants of ninny yap resistance vomited by state-radio automaton babies operating in emergency brain override.

How to Out-Left the Left

Posted by Thomas Woods on July 29, 2010 11:04 AM

A couple of days ago I appeared on Wisconsin Public Radio to discuss Nullification, my new book. Although the conversation was probably more civil than what would have unfolded had I been a leftist on many right-wing programs, I had my share of shocked and appalled callers. I think I handled them pretty well. WPR wrote to say they’d received some good feedback from the program, citing a woman who wrote that although she didn’t share my ideology, “to me, this is one of the most refreshing guests you’ve ever had.”

The Massachusetts Legislature has approved a new law intended to bypass the Electoral College system and ensure that the winner of the presidential election is determined by the national popular vote. [...]

The Importation of Intelligent Thought

Posted by Butler Shaffer on July 25, 2010 03:07 PM

My wife and one of my daughters prevailed upon me, this morning, to make a trip to our favorite French restaurant to pick up some wonderful French pastries for them. The woman who waited on me at the pastry counter was probably in her fifties, with a decided European — probably German — accent. After boxing up my selections, she informed me that the charge was “$13.90.” I replied that “1390 was probably an interesting year.” She responded “that was after the Dark Ages,” to which I added “yes, but the Dark Ages were not as bad or as ‘dark’ as we have been conditioned to believe.” She agreed, reminding me that 1390 was “about the start of the Renaissance.” As I drove home, I wondered with how many other persons I would have to engage in such a conversation to get similar responses.

“Intelligent Thought”. WTF. $13.90? “ah yes, i’ve something for that. ahem…

“Probably an interesting year!”

pant. pant.

“oh well, sir, allow me to retort. and here i go.”

ponder the probable instant orgasm if his verbal noise partner had quoted a latin phrase. there’s a nirvana anecdote for the smoking jacket crowd.

was stunned yesterday reading this accurate headline, rare for its construction:

Daughter urges Okla. voters to not vote for father

most self-styled grammarians leap to their “look at me” buzzers and nearly trample one another to be the first to smooge, “forsooth, a split infinitive. oh dear.” Read the rest of this entry

discussing the fuckups over at the stolen property known as arlington cemetery, “CNN pentagon producer” laurie ure writes,

Surprisingly, no one was fired after the Inspector General’s report was made public.

laurie, send me a complete list of who in the official crime gang was fired for prime state-bonehead exhibit 9/11/2001. then see if you can write that with a straight face. unaccountability is criterion number one for those cretins. it’s why they have the guns. wake up.

Army Inspector-General Steven Whitcomb said his review found no evidence of deliberate wrongdoing.

ahh! a new variation on the bullshit term “honest mistake”. well, as long as they didn’t intend to suck.

blackmail is a market transaction. buying silence, tiger woods allegedly ups the payout to his ex. gloria “worthless cunt on wheels” allred greases deals for her clients to remain silent.

why “legal”? only because these deals went through guildists, anointed by the official crime syndicate. how many more of these obvious exposures are required before herbert p. normalon sees there’s no difference between this and any offer to withhold for money the publication of information peaceably obtained?

the “crime” of blackmail is yet another barbaric relic preserved via the disgrace of fools who believe everything they’re told in “higher education” or courtrooms.

hmmm. what might be the best method for not being derided as “anti-authoritarian”?

oh, i know! become an “authority“.

what a puss word in normal political use, “authority”. today, after yet another direct encounter with the badged criminal class, i consider it likely that a debilitating deficiency in verbal fluency and logic drives most badged criminals into “the force”. in short, they can’t argue worth a fuck. bullying superiors by constant referral to the cudgel is a permanent “solution” for these besotted dreck canisters, frustrated by their comic inferiority.

fuck them all. every one. no exception.

honesty from a lamestream media sludge:

[...] McChrystal allowed Rolling Stone’s Michael Hastings to join his team all the way, and the reporter witnessed a general far away from Washington and the Obama ethic. Washington rules — don’t leave fingerprints on attacks against your political enemies, don’t confide in reporters who don’t depend on you for their beats, drink a single malt scotch and not a case of citrus-flavored lager — didn’t apply. [...]

the “depend on you for their beats” part explains most media suck. carole coleman knows. the official criminal class punishes all non-toady reporters. off with your heads!

“liberty” poster boy thomas sowell is linked at drudge asserting that tyranny’s increasing via useful idiots (insert two layers of quotes there). he then exposes himself as the worst sort of useful idiot, a crime-mob slurper posing as justice advocate.

[...] If our laws and our institutions determine that BP ought to pay $20 billion — or $50 billion or $100 billion — then so be it.

But the Constitution says that private property is not to be confiscated by the government without “due process of law.” [...]

that’s the same dreck ron paul sells via gunman. the rapist has a proper role! he’s merely out of control!

in my 20s and 30s i did that “hey, don’t get me wrong” state-apologist routine while pretending to bitch about the state. figured i was damned late growing out of it. no idea what retardation hits the RP/TS crowd.

retards, the state is not you.

Did the troopers not know how to make a head shot or 10? Now this scum bag will get to bill taxpayers for his food, housing, and medical not to mention the expense of flying him to a hospital. My heart and prayers are with the familyof this innocent baby. Kill a baby and be killed

it’s a powerful margin-skewering force, the fear that you may be excluded from something. i think it draws on survival instinct primarily, with a mix of stupidity, jealousy, and probably other crazy stuff. salesmen manipulate based on the attraction of scarcity, but i think its potential is often overlooked. always liked this snippet from The Innocence of Father Brown:

[...] The Vernon Hotel at which The Twelve True Fishermen held their annual dinners was an institution such as can only exist in an oligarchical society which has almost gone mad on good manners. It was that topsy-turvy product–an “exclusive” commercial enterprise. That is, it was a thing which paid not by attracting people, but actually by turning people away. In the heart of a plutocracy tradesmen become cunning enough to be more fastidious than their customers. They positively create difficulties so that their wealthy and weary clients may spend money and diplomacy in overcoming them. If there were a fashionable hotel in London which no man could enter who was under six foot, society would meekly make up parties of six-foot men to dine in it. If there were an expensive restaurant which by a mere caprice of its proprietor was only open on Thursday afternoon, it would be crowded on Thursday afternoon. [...]

local dying state mouthpiece speaks in code:

An unexpected result for some census takers: the wrath of irate Americans

This is the scary season for the nation’s census takers.

Since they began making follow-up house calls in early May, census takers have encountered vitriol, menace and flashes of violence. They have been shot at with pellet guns and hit by baseball bats. They have been confronted with pickaxes, crossbows and hammers. They’ve had lawn mowers pushed menacingly toward them and patio tables thrown their way. They have been nibbled by ducks, bitten by pit bulls and chased by packs of snarling dogs.

Some days, being cursed at seems part of the job description.

So far, the Census Bureau has tallied 379 incidents involving assaults or threats on the nation’s 635,000 census workers, more than double the 181 recorded during the 2000 census. Weapons were used or threatened in a third of the cases. [...]

no, weapons were used or threatened in 100% of the cases. however, all subjects of the state are to genuflect and ignore the obvious — that every edict from an official crime gang threatens the use of weapons. it so thoroughly pervades human interaction that we’re supposed to throw it out as part of any equation. a given.

c’mon. you know you wanna! everybody’s doin’ it. put your thumbs up your ass, turn off your brain, and recognize that there’s essentially no difference between you gassing up your car and some professional BP moron-douchebags kicking off a colossal avoidable blunder. while you’re in the groove, apologize for existing, just as all these human-loathing “environmentalist” dicks require. it’s good “perspective“.

AMERICA’S addiction to oil is making itself felt on the blackened wings of pelicans in the Gulf of Mexico. As BP takes heat for the environmental and economic damage caused by the Deepwater Horizon spill, a timely new book by Tom Bower titled “Oil: Money, Politics, and Power in the 21st Century” (Grand Central, $26.99), reminds us that our insatiable thirst for oil makes us as much a part of the larger problem as the major oil companies. [...]

that’s the enlightened trend-o-view from halfwits eager for something remotely contrary and borderline shocking, however brief the most recent cycle (weeks ago). explaining how screwups sucking at their jobs becomes my responsibility hovers just over the horizon though, unreachable.

time to break the emergency glass on this collectivist hogwash overdose. BTW, it’s not mere coincidence that self-flagellation is also doctrine #1 for “christianity”, where on your way out of the womb you’re supposed to apologize for being a “sinner”.
