“It seems the era of Hope is to be inaugurated with a slaughter of the innocents.”
There’s a very powerful read from Gerald Warner in the London Telegraph today. A snippet:
This will end in tears. The Obama hysteria is not merely embarrassing to witness, it is itself contributory to the scale of the disaster that is coming. What we are experiencing, in the deepening days of a global depression, is the desperate suspension of disbelief by people of intelligence – la trahison des clercs – in a pathetic effort to hypnotise themselves into the delusion that it will be all right on the night. It will not be all right…
…To anyone who kept his head, the string of Christmas cracker mottoes booming through the public address system on Washington’s National Mall can only excite scepticism. It is crucial to recall the reality that lies behind the rhetoric. Denouncing “those who seek to advance their aims by inducing terror and slaughtering innocents” comes ill from a man whose flagship legislation, the Freedom of Choice Act, will impose abortion, including partial-birth abortion, on every state in the Union. It seems the era of Hope is to be inaugurated with a slaughter of the innocents.
Obama’s American Recovery and Reinvestment Plan is like one of those toxic packages traded by bankers: it camouflages many unaffordable gifts to his client state. With a federal deficit already at $1.2 trillion, Obama wants to squander $825 billion (which will undoubtedly mushroom to more than $1 trillion) on creating 600,000 more government jobs and a further 459,000 in “green energy” (useless wind turbines and other Heath-Robinson contraptions favoured by Beltway environmentalists).
It is frightening to think there is a real possibility that the entire world economy could go into complete meltdown and famine kill millions. Yet Western – and British – commentators are cocooned in a warm comfort zone of infatuation with America’s answer to Neil Kinnock. We should be long past applauding politicians of any hue: they got us into this mess. The best deserve a probationary opportunity to prove themselves, the worst should be in jail.

I’m calling bullcrap on that one. There is absolutey enough resources for the planet to sustain the population. The problem is lack of distribution systems, corruption, pricing and probably lots more reasons I’m not aware of. How much food is NOT grown in the US and Europe each year to keep food prices stable? How many farmers are paid NOT to use their land? How many poor nations are run by corrupt tyrants who care not for their populations, steal food/medical aid, put no money into developing their own resources, spend their GDP on their military, and drive their nations from “breadbaskets” to “dirt bowls” (I’m looking at you, Mugabe)?
Certain areas may be “overpopulated” because the gov’t or economic conditions can’t support more than a certain amount of people. But it doesn’t necessarily follow that the Earth as a whole cannot support a large population. Mass starvation comes from man-made reasons, not natural ones.
Rid the world of greed and corruption and prosperity will reach more people. I know, I know, tall order.
Mattymatt10 makes some excellent points. The reason for famine lies with the form of government of that area.
This planet has ample resources for a lot more people. I don’t think, with free markets, we are even close to a limit.
Besides, what small thinkers some people are. We have an entire universe out there at our disposal. The only limits are the ones our minds allow.
Am I alone in not knowing about Christmas cracker mottoes?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christmas_cracker
http://www.bbc.co.uk/nottingham/features/2003/12/cracker_jokes.shtml
What needs to happen in 2012 is for the Republicans to grow a pair and demand that conservatives be the moderators of the presidential debates. In as much as socialists have been the moderators for the past 30 years.
Can you imagine The B.O. actually having to field questions, without any prior knowledge of their content, from Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter, Walter Williams, Larry Elder, Victor Davis Hansen, etc?
Hell, I’d pay money to see that!
If Hussein is the left epitome of hope and change, then I have no quams with saying that this nation can do without every leftus supporter and member.
This nation cannot afford the idiocy of this loon at the helm.
I must admit I am torn on that one; is it Simon Legree Chaney or Darth Rove who is the ultimate evil?
Brzezinski is poster boy for NO IMMIGRATION UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES FOR ANYONE although George Soros and “Huff & Puff $20 million” are working hard to catch up.
Bye all, got things to do, but as always it’s been fun:) Have a God blessed day.
Gee, Green Libby, why aren’t you the leader of the free world? You seem so smart and are the only on with all the answers. I’m sure even the islamofacists will see it your way and we’ll all sing Kumbaya. Shoot! Maybe the French will like us if we sign up for your world view. On second thought I’ll stay right where I’m at. I’ll take my chances that the Bible isn’t a big myth and that Jesus is coming soon.
I just looked through the a few of the photos of the March 2009 that Michelle linked to, and was struck by what I DIDN’T see.
-No Black bandannas covering people’s faces
-No signs comparing current politicians to history’s worst monsters
-No pics of Che
-No vulgarity, obscenity, or crudely drawn genitals on posters
-No communist literature being handed out
-No long-haired, maggot-infested, dope-smoking FM types playing their acoustic guitars while weirdos prance around them, being sure to draw attention to themselves instead of their cause
-No signs for every other cause under the sun
-No people in masks or dressed as clowns or other outlandish costumes
Of course, I didn’t look through all 476 photos.
Mattymatt is correct. Of all the areas facing famine, how many of them are ruled by dicatators and despots? All of them.
Sort out the politics, and the people will sort themselves out.
Yea…this is bad decision by Obama. But his decision to make Freedom of Information act (FOIA) to be really FOIA act is good one…
greenLibertarian said:
Yeah, I think you’re right! The world is over populated.
Since you are so smart (you look like a born leader), why don’t you show us the way towards lowering population? You know, the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Take one for the team. Reduce your carbon emissions to zero. Abort.
Remember, this isn’t about you, it’s about the greater good, and we already have waaaay too many people.
P.S.: Can I have your stuff? Thanks!
You are joking right. You justify abortion yet science does not know when human life begins, you would think you would then err on the side that it is truly human and abortion is really murder.
Let you think CO2 and Methane gas is harmful even though no science can prove it and you would err that it is, thus greatly restricting the activities of free societies.
So for the past 8 years the left complained, moaned, criticized, swore, and divided the country at the expense of the President we on the right are now required or expected to come together with the left on their agenda? I find that both insulting and hypocritical. We need to point out at every opportunity the left’s dysfunctional, socialistic, destructive, and amoral positions as the voice of dissent or otherwise be d@#mned at the consequences. Granted, I am preaching to the choir here. So we see one reporter from Europe who gets it. When I am in Europe this next week, I will see just how many more get it or are on the Obamabandwangon.
Gerald Warner has finally stated the facts no one else will state.
I wish he had also gone into the whys.
Kinnock’s Wikipedia entry contains this Biden electorate slap:
THIS IS WORTH A REPOST
As I read and scanned page one of this comments it seems most commenters missed the point of the article, they fixated on abortion.
Abortion may be a problem but it is NOT THE PROBLEM the article was trying to address. THIS ARTICLE is trying to address the horrid disaster of a looming world wide economic collapse.
Again I wish he had also gone into the whys of these intentional actions.
I do too but for a whole different reason. The richest countries not only have the cleanest environment, (because they can afford the real kind of environmentalism), they also have the LOWEST birth rates. The US is no exception; the INDIGENOUS population replacement rate for the USA is less than two. See http://www.numbersusa.org/
If places like Africa and Central America became as rich as the USA their populations would also stabilize like ours. Socialism is a DISEASE in those places because it keeps the poor – poor. Freedom and capitalism is the cure.
Really? How long will it be before Obie neuters FOIA as an act of self-preservation. True transparency is a two-way window. Obie prefers to stand behind the mirror and look out.
If one believes that this should be decided on a scientific definition of life, then that can be easily turned on its head. One of the definitions of life is the ability to reproduce. It is true that children don’t have the ability to reproduce until their teenage years. Can we abort them at age 7? Yes, it is an absurd argument, but demonstrates that even scientific definitions aren’t so black and white. There was a book with this concept, but I forget the title. Just something to contemplate.
DNA establishes the baseline of creation… for those of you who still wish to see babies killed, remember that. DNA, jackasses!
When I worked for the police we had a dude who was convinced aliens lived in his shed. We got sent to his place for welfare checks on a regular basis. After some time I stopped trying to convince him there were no aliens around since it seemed his beleif over-rode any form of facts used as counter arguments (he had an excuse for any thing you could come up with…like they transported away when you opened the door…but they did not when he opened the door). You need to accept that those who beleive in whatever god they may will also not listen…you are doing no more than pissing in the wind on the issue. I approach it this way: You don’t impose or try to make me beleive in your god and I won’t try or impose on you that maybe we just don’t know if there is or is not a god.
Wow…so if someone does not bow to you or beleive as you then degrade them. Maybe Obama has a spot on his cabinet for you.
These are old stats but telling…
I think a lot can be learned about a culture by the way it handles marriage and babies…
A power-lusting leader with messianic delusions? Race-obsessed followers set upon transforming the nation? The endless demonization of opponents, viewing them as subhuman? It’s all there and no good can possibly come of it. If conservatives and republicans won’t fight back, and I mean fight, then the only hope for saving the country is a military dictatorship — not the most agreeable of options to be sure but we are talking the grim realities of history, not some grandiose wish list.
Obama is as predictable as he is frightening. You can take the boy out of Chicago, but you cannot take Chicago out of the boy. He may have left Trinity Church, but Trinity has most emphatically not left him. The tragic negro, like others of his ilk, will only lead the nation to ruin and slaughter. I wish more than anything I could get off this train, but none of us can. Where, pray tell, could we possibly go?
So when will the Enabling Act be passed?
I wish I had confidence in this. I see the Catholic Church rolling over on several things, including abortion-supporting politicians, and nothing seems to change.
Even if they did close and cause a crisis, it would give Urkel a chance to ram through socialist health care.
…or a bailout where federal money is provided to some group to run the former Catholic hospitals.
According to that childish ass Emanuel, you never want a good crisis to go to waste.
Dictatorial little jackass.
Why don’t you do your part in saving the planet and offing yourself first?
What? No courage in your convictions?
if abortion is so great then let the chosen one abort his two kids .
Liberals, libertarians ( those who sit on a fence and have no courage) and fascists, Marxists, communists, vegans and others….. live now… you are about to be cerebrally mocked and attacked but should you threaten me physically or economically you better have courage… because I have the will… you are effluence in the country I wish to protect.
Lay off GreenLibertarian. He bought his carbon credits. /Sarc
Green- you can leave buddy…anytime.
The reality is we are NOT overpopulated. The myth is not reality. Why are some places really crowded and have a great quality of life? It is really about the use of resources and corruption. Do some research ….then leave.
Perhaps if you exhibited even a small amount of reasoning, others would find it worth responding.
So far, you have exhibited selfishness, a willingness to treat an unborn baby as something disposable, and suggest if someone has a baby it will contribute to the pollution of the planet, as if the baby is another lump of trash.
You blithely refer to killing a baby as being cheaper, which indicates you think of abortion as nothing more than a cheap way of controlling something that happened one Saturday night.
Ever hear of adoption? Or is that not fast enough to fix your little Saturday night problem? I suppose it might cause your party schedule to change for a few months.
You suggest people are ill or might die of starvation. Given your cavalier attitude in killing the unborn, I would not be surprised you would advocate killing the ill or starving rather than treating the ill and feeding those starving.
…to save the planet from pollution of course.
Those that ARE sick or starving are likely sick and starving because they live in a country where the rule of law is replaced by some thug, kept in power by leftists that look the other way, or whine if someone tries to do something about it.
…but boy do you feel good if you donate a few bucks to UNICEF once in awhile, if at all.
The US has been feeding the world for a long time, and could do even more if the leftists in government got the hell out of the way and allowed free market farming to work.
Instead, leftists in government have no qualms about using food as a weapon.
Enough reason for you?
One common thread runs with the liberal dog.
They never want to accept responsibility for their own actions!
Whether it is aborting a “problem”, or stealing the fruit of other peoples labor, they justify it by blaming others for their circumstances.
Immature children practice this also, but most grow out of the stage and learn of consequences.
When a herd mentality meets a charismatic narcissist the result is- irrational adulation.
That is how we got a ideological Marxist with radical ideas on trashing life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness elected as the so called leader of the free world.
We are in big trouble if we act as if the above is not true.
The future is looking ominous and dark.
Closing Gitmo releases terrorists one way or another.
Life is listed as the first unalienable right.
Killing, to avoid responsibility, is not listed as a right anywhere!
The economy has no chance for recovery under Obama’s ideas for “change” and his policies could lead to mass misery on a global scale.
Should “the press” ever pinch themselves awake (and realized they were punked by Obama), they’d realize that if they let him, they will be restricted to soft little underhand tosses verses the high and tight fastballs they are accustomed to. They might also realize by not doing their job, they have cheated Americans, and aided in the defeat of liberty and freedom!
Inasmuch as abortion is primarily aimed to help people too stupid and/or lazy to practice effective birth control, is it any wonder that it’s a cornerstone of the liberal agenda?
Every plank in their platform is ostensibly about “enabling” those too unfortunate fend for themselves. In reality, of course, it’s not about enabling anything – it’s about exploiting. It’s bread and circuses, 21st Century style.
Give them “tax rebates.” Give them citizenship. Give them abortions. Hey, give them partial birth abortions – in fact, give them *infanticide,* if that’s what they want. Give them liberal justice when they break the law. Give them free healthcare. Give them a free pension. Give them a guilt-assuaging, if made-up, “green” agenda.
Give them, give them, give them.
And only ask for two teeny thing in return: their votes, and their liberty.
Liberals are too stupid to realize what liberty is, let alone recognize its value.
Interesting how many socialists were so concerned over Trig and her daughters pregnancy…their colors are certainly showing now huh?
Hurrah for Gerald Warner! He hit it on the head. It’s time to not only cling to our guns and our religion, but to actually do something in support of both, such as fighting the Obama agenda tooth and nail. And that agenda will involve suspension of Second Amendment rights, and it will involve substituting a humanistic religion of the state for individual or organized religion. Think of the infringement of individual rights that he’s on-board with, whether union organizing or abortion enshrinement. He’ll turn the current economic climate into justification for Marxist ideology. If we don’t speak out and do everything we can, at the ballot box or in court, to stop this power grab, we’ll live to regret it, and our children and grandchildren (those lucky enough to be born) will be more taxed and less free.
Birthrates decline as income increases. The wealthiest in all populations are having less that two children per couple. Check the U.S. birth stats. Unless we have immigration, we have a declining population.
Life begins at conception and at no other time, unless you measure life as brain wave activity which begins at four weeks.
Republicanvet,
Liberals don’t need to do anything to feel better about themselves, unless you count thinking about helping everyone (that isn’t white male Christian) on the planet. That makes them more compassionate and worldly than stupid conservatives.
That and echo all the socialist talking points that do not adhere to the reality of human nature.
It is intellectual masturbation that only makes the liberal feel better for a short while.
HEY! GREEN Be careful. There is a very fine line between Libertarism and Anarchism.
The minute any organization submits a FOIA for his Blackberry messages.
…or documentation connecting him to Ayers/Rezko/Blago/whatever other thug out there he is connected to.
…or the minute one is filed for his Birth Certificate.
…or the minute one is filed for his college records.
No offense folks but, to put a little spin on this…I support abortion after rape, or incest with one caveat. DNA samples MUST be preserved to help find the culprit ! This defends people from charges that are not true and, punishes the guilty.
I would NOT want my daughter to carry a rapist’s child for ONE moment. Bad enough, she would have to be checked-rechecked for STD’s and AIDS.
I can think of ways to handle incest too but, they may be a violation of certain rights.
Partial-Borth abortion to save the health of the mother ? Please…Creating a breech-birth situation is high-risk and barbaric.
Wow. GreenLibeterian (who I don’t totally agree with) was putting some ideas out there for discussion. Instead they are attacked. It seems you guys are as intolerant as the far left shows themselves to be.
Familyman: Libertarians want to go back to founding fathers intent when they were alive. How is this anarchy? Were George Washington…Thomas Jefferson, et al. anarchists?
Abortion is a states rights issue. The Supreme Court made an abortion out of the Constitution for political reasons.
havoc: Some of us like to use our brains too. I’m not a doctrinary knee-jerk.
sorry Havok.
Libertarians want to design a society that doesn’t require any supervision. They want to devise a perfect and limited set of rules to govern humanity without modification forever. They (rightly!) don’t trust future governments to use power in a limited way — even if they happen to think the present government would use power wisely — so they seek to limit the power of government as much as possible. It makes sense. But I don’t think it’ll work.
Instead, I think we need a government with a bit more power than a libertarian would prefer, and that we need to exercise constant vigilance to ensure that the government doesn’t use its power wrongly. My approach isn’t as nice and neat as the libertarian solution, and it requires ongoing effort, but it has the advantage of being possible (which makes it more elegant). To a great extent, libertarians (classical liberals) appear to live in as idealistic a fantasy world as do modern liberals.
Green lib-
You are not a liberal. That is truly apparent. I don’t think there has been a classification made for your political persuasion yet, unless it encompasses something with the name “GAIA” in it. You are WAY to the left!
Have fun yanking everyone’s chain here, and welcome to the troll list. May the Goddess bless you!
mattymat, you said:
Maybe you didn’t get the word. BHO is now Pee-resident. He can do it. He is our savior. Yes He Can. Hope. Change.
Much like the Green Movement. They do not practice what they preach…instead pointing out the flaws in everyone else.
Familyman: I guess, I was raised to know that my rights end, at your nose..To loosely paraphrase. Using the Constitution, AS WRITTEN, Do you believe that G. Washington and, T. Jefferson were anarchists? What scares you so much about enumerated powers? When people say yes but…That is the slippery slope. States can define laws as long as they do not interfere with Federal Gov’t. Which means that, yes, drugs can be illegal still…But, at the State level; not the Federal. Why is this concept scary? state Gov’t is FAR more responsive to voters.
So, at least we argue in favor of limited powers; just a slight disagreement on how to keep them limited. Federalist Papers should be mandatory for all educated people to know.
Let’s not argue whether Baptists are better than Lutherans…Jews are better than Episcopalians. it makes my heart break to see and, read this. Most of us are believers in the Supreme Being. Let’s see what we can do in his kingdom in earth and leave the judgement where it belongs.
on earth…sorry
YES
YES AGAIN
Nothing. They are the necessary limitation of the Constitution.
A very appropriate statement about the politicians of the Western World in my view.
Scary stuff, eh? Sorry, A little up-er slipped out…Northern Michigan to most other folks. So, Roe vs. Wade is an abortion of Law because, it violates state rights. The rights in the constitution are what true Libertarians believe. We are the real strict-constructionists.
If other employees in America have to serve a minimum 9 day probationary procedure…Why should they not have to prove themselves? Oh, they are entitled…Sorry, My bad…
*Mr. Warner is correct in that he will not have to eat his words, and neither will I; I have said all along that P-BO is destined to fail, and it is all about his failed ideology(socialism); The blowback may take time, but when it hits, it will be full bore.
*People need to remember that, in part, it was George Bush, John McCain, and a herd of RINO’s that has given us a P-BO; Bush is now part of history, but the others remain to carry the water for P-BO, Nazi Pelosi, and Harry Reid; The Republicans as a whole should not assist in propping up that three-legged stool, but instead should begin leading with the likes of DeMint, Pence, etc., while telling the likes of McCain and Grahamnesty to shut the hell up and take a seat in the back.
sorry 90 day…Sticky keyboard…Something I read earlier caused a little liquid damage…
Jeff
Our political differences are minuscule compared to the sociopaths running this country.
Where are the trolls when you need a good argument?
Yes, we are all lemmings now, following our glorious leader over the cliff of misguided good intentions.
But we will survive even this.
All you need are facts for a good argument. No, I don’t know where lgm or chapa are. I admire chap’s logic though. He is consistent and intelligent.
Or, paraphrasing…” Don’t let the facts get in the way of a good argument. “
Cliff-Diving…Obama-style…
At least, now he’s in Washington D.C. ; We don’t have to see him in swim trunks for awhile, flexing his AB’s. Why no pic’s of Michelle O. in a swimsuit?
Michelle’s O’s fitness level is vastly exaggerated. Would much prefer Michelle M. in a swimsuit.
An example of advertising the fight against overwhelming authority.

Talking about equal time, not prurient interest…Although, could be a heck of a fund-raiser…One-piece though, please? Let’s enjoy MM for her mind which truly, is the best, and sexiest part of a person.

“I would NOT want my daughter to carry a rapist’s child for ONE moment.”
So, is that innocent life worth less somehow, Jeff? I wouldn’t want my daughter raped, either. But I am not the master over life and death, irregardless.
Yes, I guess that a child created through violence, to me, has less value. Hypocrisy? Maybe but, the vast majority of abortions have nothing to do with rape, nor incest. Just, lazy thinking. Of course, Jesus was undoubtedly conceived through rape but, This is my feelings on the matter. I accept the fact that, I may be less than perfect and could live with it. That’s why I want to have fetal tissue saved for criminal prosecution.
Now that is something we all can agree on.
Mary and Joe were probably members of the Essenes sect of Judaism. In their tradition a women was considered a virgin for the first year of marriage. Rape is a stretch.
It seems to me that the Obamasiah should be put on trial as an accessory to murder of the innocents. While I believe that abortion is a horrible thing, I believe that people who value life will not have abortions and those who do not value life will have abortions. So over time the abortionist’s numbers will dwindle and only the intelligent folks who value life will remain.
Chappy is a closet conservative. He just won’t admit it.
He will, under this administration. Give him time.
Rape, ok…Thank those polite Romans ?
greenLib seems to be saying, (to me any way) that he/she is not religious, but spiritual. My translation of that is you think you’re brilliant but you’re full of warm fuzzy little balls of crap. I don’t think you’re fooling anybody here with your “straddle the fence” positions. Libertarian my man-sized a$$.
If I join in the next 20 minutes will you DOUBLE my free shooting range lessons AND throw in a free set of steak knives?
Geeze Chap with all the giveaways in the works at least hold out for a clapper.
I thought that was reserved for Platinum Level Conservative Members.
my bad.
Mr. Warner is right on. Seems there are at least a few intelligent, thinking folk left in the UK. Two of his closing lines speak volumes:
If only we’d had a few more thinking voters, we wouldn’t be in this mess. Ah, well.
Man was I right about you.
Japan is the most populous country on earth when you look at the number of people/land acreage and most of the land in Japan is mountainous.
Anyone see a famine happening in Japan?
South Korea is highly over populated, and like Japan most of their land is vertical.
Anyone see a famine happening in South Korea?
North Korea has a much smaller population than its neighbor to the south, and most of the land there is arable (for you Obama voters that means you can farm it.)
Any one see a famine happening in North Korea?
You’re right! Every damn year!
Hong Kong is a city/state. They have no farm land at all, and millions of mouths to feed.
Ever hear of a famine in Hong Kong?
Russia is the mother of all farmland – no country bigger, and no harvests richer than those in the Ukrain.
Ever hear of a famine in Russia?
Again you’re right! Russian food shortages are the standard that the failure of Communism is based on. One famine alone in Russia costs 38 million lives, and that was caused by the government to suppress uprisings.
China is second only to Russia in landmass and even though they have the largest population on earth their land is very rich and aerable. Ever hear of a famine in China?
Oh yeah – their 3 year famine that ended in 1960 claimed 36 million lives and is mostly due to governmental mismanagement. There hasn’t been one since even though weather conditions have been worse mostly because Mao is dead.
Famine used to the the rule of thumb in India, but since they gained their independence and became a true democracy they’ve had ONE – regardless of over crowding and an exploding population.
The number one cause of famine in the modern world is BAD GOVERNMENT. What is called the Green Revolution has pretty much seen the end of famine due to natural causes. If a country has a natural disaster modern transportation can get food to the needy people in hours unfortunately as we’ve seen through out Africa and well documented in Somolia, local warlords capture the food and use it to subdue the population as Stalin did in the 1930’s.
UNFORTUNATELY Famine is going to soon become the norm again. Not because of global warming, that doesn’t exist. Not because of the coming ice age, we probably won’t last that long. It’s because so called “Environmentalists” are doing everything they can to ban the chemicals that gave us the green revolution that allows us to feed not only our children but the world.
Thanks again lefties. Your help is going to kill us all, but that should make you happy.
Hey Chap,
In the movie “Glen Gary Glen Ross” the steak Knives were the second prize. You need to shoot for #1 like all good conservatives do.
