Because I was once a Marxist (1977-1987) I know just about every twist in every argument and worldview template they bring embedded in their strung together talking points. Quite frankly, the reason why I don’t have at them is because it would accomplish nothing. They are not here to really learn. They are here to show the flag for their side, dump their stuff here, and move along. I know their “debate” tactics, which largely consist of misdirection and ad hominem.

I’d have taken $500 billion and directed that the USA build 750-1000 GW worth of nuclear power plants — yesterday.

We have an energy problem. Energy = prosperity. Solve the energy problem and you solve most things.

You don’t get to prosperity merely by cutting taxes any more than you get there by taxing your way there. Investment also creates jobs, once that don’t export.

Once the plants are built and operating, THEN cut taxes and let it rip. Or rather than cut taxes, direct that energy is delivered pretty much at cost + maintenance. $50 for your electric bill vs $200 has the same effect as a tax cut.

I reckon that I’d also stop all subsidies to wind and solar power and use that to jolt NASA; they would be directed to solve how to get cheap access to space. Why? Solve that and you get spaceborne solar as energy supply. That’s a lot of jobs. Good paying US jobs. Not stuff that gets sent to Thailand.

I’d probably also invest another big chunk into DOE and direct them to build smaller reactor systems suitable for civilian shipping. We know how to do this. The Navy doesn’t seem to have problems. More jobs.

The great republican tradition is **not** reduced spending. Never has been. Everything from interstates to the computers you’re using to whine about government was SMART spending or even a bit of an increase.

On the other hand, this is a conservative site, one that takes pride in specialising in “no”, promoting conspiracy theory sideshows, and fostering a “conservative” belief system that demands the aforementiond mythical small government abutted to a social agenda that would make Stalin blush. Apparently a great number of you seem to have a morbid fascination with whether or not gays marry or Mary Rottencrotch down the road has an abortion: the very fabric of life as we know it will certainly be torn asunder.

And… oh, never mind. (Hey… is that a pod by my bed? Yawn.)

Lower taxes! Smaller government! I have a funny name for Obama!

The echoes of Cone’s (Black Liberation) theology bleed through the now infamous, anti-Hilary excerpt by Rev. Wright. Clinton is among the oppressing class (”rich white people”) and is incapable of understanding oppression (”ain’t never been called a n-gg-r”) but Jesus knows what it was like because he was “a poor black man” oppressed by “rich white people.”

Black Liberation Theology actually encourages a victim mentality among blacks…Victimology…is the adoption of victimhood as the core of one’s identity.

Here are the contributions that JWright & today’s black racists confer on their followers. It is its own form of enslavement.

1. First, victimology condones weakness in failure. Victimology tacitly stamps approval on failure, lack of effort, and criminality.

2. Second, victimology hampers progress because, from the outset, it focuses attention on obstacles. For example, in Black liberation Theology, the focus is on the impediment of black freedom in light of the Goliath of white racism.

3. Third, victimology keeps racism alive because many whites are constantly painted as racist with no evidence provided.

Black Liberation theologians James Cone and Cornel West have worked diligently to embed Marxist thought into the black church since the 1970s…Black Liberation Theology, originally intended to help the black community, may have actually hurt many blacks by promoting racial tension, victimology, and Marxism which ultimately leads to more oppression. As the failed “War on Poverty” has exposed, the best way to keep the blacks perpetually enslaved to government as “daddy” is to preach victimology, Marxism, and to seduce blacks into thinking that upward mobility is someone else’s responsibility in a free society.

The Marxist Roots of Black Liberation Theology

Imagine if we lived in a country where citizens stopped committing serious crimes. At a certain point, people who work for law enforcement would be so afraid of being laid off from their jobs, they’d have to start making jay walking and illegal U-turns a capital offense, punishable by 25 years to life prison sentences, in order to justify their continued employment.

This is exactly the mindset of the modern day liberal, whose whole entire sense of superiority and intellectual laziness is dependent on the need to believe that half the population are hateful, knuckle dragging cavemen. This dishonest house of cards is the foundation of the modern day Democrat party. It’s no wonder they attract lying scum like Pelosi and Obama.

First watch the animation in full then do the following.

1. Take the map back to the beginning, January 2007. Hover your cursor on different counties, it will tell you the jobs gained/lost in 2006.

2. Step through the map on a month by month basis. Note the fluctuations and patterens.

3. Step through and stop at January 2008 for a moment, then click back and forth between it and January 2007. Note the differences. Remember that the Presidential campaign began to ramp up in January 2008.

4. Step through and stop at July 2008 and then compare it to July 2007. Note that in July 2008 that it was apparent that the Democrats were going to nominate Obama.

5.Step through and stop at September 2008 and note the beginning of the hemorrhaging of jobs. Remember back to 2008 when Obama, the Democrats and the MSM gave us one of the biggest examples of the “politics of personal destruction” with their vicious attacks on Sarah Palin and the increasing reports of voter registration fraud being committed by Democratic party allies such as ACORN. It became quite obvious that the Democrats and their allies were going to win and were not going to stop at anything to ensure they did.

6. November 2008. Obama wins and the Democrats win the legislative branch but on this map almost the entire country is “red” with massive job losses. That is when many business owners who were wise and actually listened to what Obama and the Democrats were planning on doing decided to close their doors and get out while the getting out was good. They knew what was coming out of the Marxists in the Democratic party and the Marxist who was going to be in the White House. This carries on into December as business are shutting down in order to get everything done before the tax year ends. I personally know of at least 6 business owners that did this and they know many others who also did so.

7. March 2009. The map is awash with red. Even those business owners who had bought into the “hope and change” crap are beginning to see exactly what that “hope and change” is and it spells their doom. They are now trying to close up shop and get out while we are still under the Bush tax laws because they know that the only way for the Democrats to fund their massive spending is by massive tax hikes on everything. This means that not only are businesses going to be taxed and regulated to death but it also means that no one will have any “disposable income” to buy their products. I have to laugh at the Ford and Chevy spots that make a point that “credit is available” and that “if you lose your job they will make your payments for you for a year”. What they are not grasping is that us “regular folks” can feel the storm coming and are battening down the hatches as best we can and the last thing any of us are going to do is take on more debt or even spend one dime more then we have to.

8. Lastly click on January 2007 and then on March 2009. Do it a couple of times. That is a graphic illustration of “hope and change” for you.

racism:
1 : a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race 2 : racial prejudice or discrimination

That is all.
