oops. bad poofitty posh poodle. but who could’ve foreseen? only those few million who rationally opposed the disaster for what we knew it would be. unlike the poodle, we tend to practice MYOB doctrine, not stepping on our sociopathic dicks at the expense of millions.

nothing rewards like failure when you’re in with the syndicate. who will “we” look to during times of failure but the “leader” who directed the failure? good plan. march of the worship of the dick steppers.

[...] One thing is clear: The thinking that got us into this mess is unlikely to rescue us. It might come as some consolation to know that even some of the most respected minds have been forced to puzzle over their faulty assumptions. Perhaps the most pained admission of ignorance happened in a crowded room in front of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform when, on October 23, 2008, Alan Greenspan described the failure of his worldview.

Greenspan was one of the acknowledged legislators of the world’s economy over the past nineteen years in his role as chairman of the Federal Reserve. A card-carrying member of the free market brigade, he used to sit at the feet of Ayn Rand who, although largely unknown outside the United States, remains influential long after her death in 1982. Her 1957 book Atlas Shrugged, in which heroic business moguls fight the scourge of government officials and union organizers, has once again scaled the best-seller lists. Regarding altruism as “moral cannibalism,” Rand was the cheerleader for an extreme free market libertarian school of thought, which she called “Objectivism.” Drawn into her circle by this heady philosophy, Greenspan earned himself the nickname “the Undertaker” for his jolly demeanor and dress sense. When Greenspan chose a career in government, it was rather like a hippie joining the marines, a lapse that his former friends could never forgive. Despite this, Greenspan remained largely faithful to Rand’s philosophy, continuing to believe that egoism would lead to the best of all possible worlds, and that any form of restraint would result in disaster. [...]

got that? “Greenspan remained largely faithful to Rand’s philosophy” while “one of the acknowledged legislators of the world’s economy over the past nineteen years in his role as chairman of the Federal Reserve.”

ROFL. what a fucking dumbass. and he’s selling that swill to every ignorant jackass who considers the R word the good soviet citizen’s best defense against rationality. it’s the ultimate cluster-fucking rand invocation, for in assigning to greenspan permanent rand student status, you have the backward super-option of declaring the most execrable destructive anti-market action to be the purest emanation of the supposed goddess of all that is free marketry. good work, sophist fuck. the scariest bit is thinking of the poltroons nodding heads in agreement with the scam — a scam intended to enrich narcissist raj patel financially and politically.

millions of pounds of enraged megabytes on the internet regarding greenspan’s early and steadfast betrayal of market principle, and after he employs for years the skankiest tactics from the state’s sleeve, the resulting disaster may be written off to free market principle.

c’mon. are we children? who believes this rot? seriously, find out, because they are your worst general enemy.

of course there’s more sophistry in the two-paragraph snippet above, including the common straw man bullshit of the supposed marketeer’s excoriation of “any form of restraint”. all garbage from a state-slurping sociopath who obviously aims to become the state.

On April 13, the Rasmussen polling organization released the latest poll on political opinion. Voters were asked who they would vote for President. Result: President Obama, 42%; Ron Paul, 41%. No other Republican was in double-digits.

This was a bombshell. The Republican Establishment had previously dismissed his win at C-PAC (Conservative Political Action Conference) as manipulated. This was not a scientific poll, they said. But the Rasmussen poll was scientific. Ron Paul is neck-and-neck with Obama.

this is such obvious horse shit, it’s surprising even G-squared pirfles it. the related dreck from justin raimondo the other day was a pittance.

here from rasmussen are the questions asked for the instant survey:

1* Do you have a very favorable, somewhat favorable, somewhat unfavorable or very unfavorable impression of Ron Paul?

2* In thinking about the 2012 Presidential election suppose you had a choice between Republican Ron Paul and Democrat Barack Obama. If the election were held today, would you vote for Republican Ron Paul or Democrat Barack Obama?

3* Is Ron Paul a divisive force in the Republican Party, or is he representative of a new direction for the party?

4* Does Ron Paul share the values of most Republican voters throughout the nation

fuck you, gary north, gasbag fossil from outer poserdummkopfland. any surprise he launches another blowhard article from a false premise? what sort of economist asserts from the answer to question 2 above that “Ron Paul is neck-and-neck with Obama”? what. the. fuck. “No other Republican was in double-digits[, never mind that they were all excluded from the poll question].”

fools and liars. LRC has gone bananas. happened years ago. roughly three writers there reliably worth a fuck.

Ron Paul 2012?

Here I figured out a way to ask this question that he couldn’t answer with “it’s too early to say….” [...]

“oh, ron — er, Dr. Paul… cutesy me once again, my lover. deny the core principle i aver. use my wealth to that end. let me man-crush you into history. i will cheer. i will shout your name. show us salvation via the state, as only you can.

[whisper] “bless the coming and going of him.”

the scientifically rigorous martian might put his foot down should he escape the LSM bubble and find that there’s an unmentioned class of the same species which — presuming themselves as emerged from the same non-immaculately conceived setting as all other humans — determines that neither slave nor slaver is an acceptable position to champion or tolerate on this earth, much less hold. this is the class for which headlines such as “The morning after: Half of us will be disappointed” ring worse than nonsensical. was i, in the class of self-avowed non-deities, disappeared? appears to have been attempted, and perhaps executed.

our headline: “Millions disappointed by prospect of worsening stupidly violent mass cult problem“

cult:

Etymology:   French & Latin; French culte, from Latin cultus care, adoration, from colere to cultivate

coerce:

1 : to restrain or dominate by force <religion in the past has tried to <coerce the irreligious — W. R. Inge>
2 : to compel to an act or choice <was coerced into agreeing>
3 : to achieve by force or threat <coerce compliance>

adoration of domination by force. how many of the cultists ever stop to consider, even when using words such as “force” and “threaten”, that they’re attempting to — often succeeding — impose their non-defensive will upon others through initiated violence? (bear in mind, as V said accurately, that violence — the non-initiated kind — can be used for good.)

damned few. considering their reactions to undisguised analogs, many would vomit if they knew what they do. yet they have from physical infancy been grossly, perhaps permanently, indoctrinated into the religion of violence initiation and its myriad “humanitarian” excuses disguised as all but sociopathic busybodyness. the sickness extends to presuming that no human exists who’d not partake with vigor, the only question being what cosmetically varied flavor of domination attack one worships, embodied by — nay, transubstantiated to — the form mcc–n (PBUH) or -b-m- (PBUH).

what sort of person are you, flesh eating gomp? are you a flesh eating gomp?

steffy cantsellya has more argument by authority for ya, this time with the N word (negro).

c’mon, retards. you can’t just admit that the authors of the constitution fucked up when they tacked on that shitcan “bill of rights” with everybody assuming that it would be understood to not bind the states? you can’t admit and state openly that any “supreme law” added within the searing context of a supremacy clause binding the states generally was a colossally boneheaded screwup when it didn’t place with the “bill of rights” clear language indicating the target(s) had changed, and where? can’t admit that?

the “law” is fucked up. it was fucked by an assuming blowhard committee with nobody running the preflight checklist. get off your tortured “hey, this guy said this” embarrassing shtick. what a mystical dickwad, incapable of reading law without inserting his schnoozer up at least 5 robe-clad rectums. read it, fly fucker.

disturbing news for congenital state slurpers: jesus didn’t write the US constitution. stop pretending otherwise. stop trying to torture every last ouija board farted pancake out of the flawed emanations of mortals, just because it’s a pain in the ass to edit directly and honestly.

In a dramatic change of tone, Ben Bernanke on Thursday indicated that the Federal Reserve is ready to cut interest rates aggressively to ward off the risk of a US recession, sending stocks soaring.

The Fed chairman said “we stand ready to take substantive additional action as needed to support growth and to provide additional insurance against downside risks”.

now, big finish. big finish!

The Fed chairman did not discard the US central bank’s inflation concerns, warning that the renewed strength in oil prices was “lifting overall consumer prices and probably putting some upward pressure on core inflation measures as well”.

He hinted that provided inflation expectations remained steady this would not get in the way of Fed easing, but said “we will be closely monitoring the inflation situation, in particular as regards inflation expectations”.

Mr Bernanke’s comments came as Robert Rubin, the former US Treasury Secretary, threw his weight behind plans for a fiscal stimulus to provide further support for the US economy, which a panel of experts he chaired suggested should be about $100bn.

the christmas miracle, a short story by [______]–

mary- hey joe, im preggers
joseph– but, you’re a virgin
mary- oh i know, can you believe it? it’s a christmas miracle!

and so, a two thousand year old religion with over a billion adherents world-wide was born

let us pray. and pass me some o’ dem shrimps. and some swamp chicken.

Germany moves to ban Scientology

Germany’s federal and state interior ministers have declared the Church of Scientology unconstitutional, clearing the way for a possible ban.

The ministers have asked Germany’s domestic intelligence agency to examine whether the Church’s legal status as an association could be challenged.

Scientology is not recognised as a religion in Germany.A Church of Scientology statement said the ministers were “completely out of step with the rest of the world”.

The attempted ban is “a blatant attempt at justifying the on-going and never-ending discrimination against the Church of Scientology and its members in Germany,” said the Church in a statement.

Critics accuse the organisation of cult-type practices and exploiting followers for financial gain.

hello! “cult-type practices and exploiting followers for financial gain” is one of the better practical definitions of religion. why exclude scientology? because their voodoo’s different — not traditional voodoo. how dare they expose the ridiculous nature of “religion” by placing their baloney in the same category as baloney of which masses of dullards have been brainwashed to be scared? the noive.

all of these stories naturally nibble at the heart of one of the bigger scams of sanctimony in the US: “not for profit”. i worked for years at a “not for profit”; the huckster density there was greater than at the $80M+/yr company (in bed with state criminals) i’d left shortly before.
