Capitalism, Labor and the Presidential election

Just as capital goes where there’s money to be made, Labor goes where there’s money to be made. That’s why there’s millions of undocumented aliens in the United States; tens of millions of Philippines citizens working around the world; and millions of the best and brightest medical doctors and engineers from the around the world flock to the west.

We need to stop thinking about Capitalism and socialism as we did thirty or forty years ago because capitalism and socialism have had intimacy, exchanged DNA and birthed something new.  Whatever this new thing is-and it’s not classical Neo Conservatism-it is potent and unruly.

Lord knows we hate to change, yet the reality of our ever changing economy, society and international situation demand change.

The United States is learning how to cannibalize the leftovers from the industrial revolution and invent something new and profitable. The same is true in other western countries. China and India are having their own industrial revolution and thinking big while watching the West and planning for the future.

Neither John McCain, nor Obama, or Hillary can stop this process. Whoever gets the nod. If they’re smart, will prepare the people for the future shock that is coming.

Capitalism comes home to roost

Working class Americans are mad. After years of preaching economic self sufficiency and capitalistic enterprise, those darned Chinese and Indian middleclass people are working hard and doing what capitalists do- buy. They’re buying crude oil, food supplies and whatever else makes them feel happy, just like us.

Now, gasoline may very well hit $5.00 a gallon by December, the cost of food is up and up. And vacations to our favorite familytopia cost more and more.

Truthfully, it’s no conspiracy, it’s just capitalism.

Farmers in Argentina are building agricultural powerhouses and amazing infrastructure that can and will beat the pants off of American farmers. The same is true for industrial and technical infrastructure in China and India.

Guess what America, things have changed. Unfortunately, few promises from presidential candidates will actually take us back to the days of easy dominate capitalism. Capital flows where there is money to be made. In Mumbai India a billionaire built an entire skyscraper just for his family home. 4 million feet to cuddle his wife and children and their 300 servants.

Many Americans have stopped dreaming big, big, big. Those who dream big and pursue those dreams with vigor will prosper.

Has the Democrat Primary Turned Into An Affirmative Action Set Aside

So, is it over? No, not yet. The spinners say,” She’s finished.” The Obama camp says they have won the right to be the nominee even though they will not have won enough popular votes from actual qualified registered voters to get the nomination. Super delegates are no
    where mentioned in our constitution. Obama also claims he should get the nod even though the voting citizens of two states have been disenfranchised.
 
   Sadly, the democrat primary selection process is beginning to look like an Equal    Opportunity fiasco. Ouch!   So, get into Princeton, even though you don’t qualify-but because you’re black; get into law school even though you don’t qualify because you’re black; and now, get
   to be the democrat nominee for president even though you can’t win enough votes from registered voters because-you’re black.
   
   I wonder which of the candidates has a sense of entitlement?
 
   What would happen if Obama where a white Harvard educated lawyer named Bob Smithman and he hadn’t won 2025 delegates from
    registered voters? Would the media and spinners be saying he had won the right to be the nominee. I doubt it. Sadly, the content of Obama’s character did not get enough registered voters to cast their ballots in enough primaries to give him the 2025 delegates to win. I don’t think the color of his skin should give him the nomination either.

John McCain, Barak Obama, Hillary Clinton and the suckers bet.

Who do you vote for when all three major candidates for president make you want to throwup? It is a question that many of us face this election cycle.

First a few observations: The GOP is gangrenous and in the process of massive surgical political amputation. The states voters seem poised to spank the palaver in the GOP at the polls. The GOP proved more adept at spending tax dollars then the democrats.

The Democrats-a.k.a. wild asses-are split between the cognitively dissonant left ( Ku Daily Kos Klan) and the deranged angry moderates-so-called Regan democrats. The wild asses are looking forward to spending like the old days.

So, we get to choose between the big tax and big spend wild asses- Democrats, and the lower tax and big spend infected elephants-Republicans. Which disease is better? Which form of cancer do we choose in hopes that we can survive the term of the illness.

John McCain- a moderately malignant cancer fully capable of killing himself and the nation with his unbridled anger and maverick attitudes.

Barack Obama- a highly malignant cancer likely to kill the nation and blow our society apart.

Hillary Clinton- an incredibly malignant cancer prone to mutation, revenge and reemergence. She never quits.

So, pick your poison. And, Pray.

Declining numbers of Frogs, endangered species, global warming and other tales of woe.

Years ago, I was listening to the singer Willie Nelson talk about philandering and cheating on his various wives. As I remember one of his tales, one of his wives caught him having sexual intercourse with one of his illicit girlfriends in the old wedding bed. Having been caught Willie jumped up from sex with his floozy and buck naked said to his wife something like “Are you going to believe what you see or are you going to believe me?”

Unfortunately, such is my relationship with liberals, so-called progressives, environmentalists, John McCain, compassionate conservatives and pseudo scientists. What is verifiable is often different then what they say.

Me and my son went shed antler hunting in the woods near our home. The frogs were thick in the woods, creeks and streams. Beaver were abundant, as were the endangered Canadian Geese, red fox, Fishers x, Otters and white tail bucks. All supposedly endangered or near extinction.

“But dad, my son asked, how can these animals all be here when we’re within a few miles of chemical plants, oil refineries and steel mills? Everything in these woods and streams should be dead.”  

Welcome to modern life son; a life where pathological lying is the norm with politicians, media people, lawyers, many scientists, and much in academia. John Calvin called it total depravity. John McCain, Hillary and Obama believe that those of us who believe in total depravity are agents of intolerance.

I’ve stopped believing in suckers bets and the coming elections all seem like suckers bets to me. I refuse to be suckered, again.

Never Count Hillary OUT!

Even with some of her supporters counting the old Gal out, I caution people to never, never, ever think Hillary is finished. She can and will rise from ashes of defeat and came back to cut you when you least expect it. She is after all, Hillary, and good in a knife fight.

Until Obama gets 2025 delegates casting their ballots for him on the first round of voting at the convention, he’s not the nominee.

Let’s suppose that there is blood all over the ground and the supporters of Obama are dancing on the grave of Hillary-always a bad thing to do. Remember, Hillary always comes back.

Do you think McCain is maverick enough to invite Hillary to be his V.P.? McCain is 72 and God knows when he might cork off. McCain-Clinton in ‘08.

Hillary done?

Facts can often be very painful events; especially when facts conflict with the will of pundits, spinners, the media and biased parties. The fact is that until you win 2025 delegates you haven’t tied up the democrat nomination. Neither of the two remaining candidates has done so yet.

If Obama gets the eventual nomination he will have done so without putting Hillary away decisively. He may not get 2025 pledged delegates. Without getting the needed 2025 pledged delegates he will have arrived at the nomination only by the disenfranchisement of citizen voters in Michigan and Florida; the used of rogue super delegates; outspending Hillary by 400 percent; the press swooning over the senator from Illinois; and alienating so-called Regan democrats.

Obama does not look like a strong candidate to me. He can’t put Hillary away with pledged delegates; can’t put her away without disenfranchising Michigan and Florida voters; can’t put her away even with outspending her by 400 percent; can’t put her away without super delegates; and can’t put her away without the press campaigning for his candidacy.

Obama reminds me of a fat Canadian Gander, just like the kind that live in and around Chicago. They’ve been living off of the largess of wealthy country clubs, protected and happy for so long they have forgotten how to fly south to their natural feeding ground for the winter. Coyotes love fat Canadian ganders that are too happy not to leave their gilded golf courses.

John McCain looks like a Coyote to me.

Cognitive Denial in the Democrat Primaries

Let’s see….

The rules say if you don’t get 2025 Delegates you don’t win the nomination on the first round of voting at the Democrat party convention. As of  this moment, nobody has 2025 delegates. When the convention convenes no candidate may have the 2025 delegates to tie up the nomination. If no candidate has the 2025 delegates going into the convention, nobody has won the primary race, regardless of what spinners on both sides of the battle say.

If nobody wins the primary race, the convention decides who the Democrat party candidate will be; but only after the first ballot is cast and counted and no candidate wins on that first ballot with 2025 delegate votes.

So any candidate, pundit or big winded individual who says that any candidate has won the right to be the candidate for the Democrat Party when that candidate has not won the required 2025 delegates is blowing smoking bull poop up the old glory hole.

Funny how politics brings to mind images of discharging effluent.

So, if elected will Obama invite Larry Sinclair to the white house for more cocaine and oral sex?

If elected will Hillary invite Rush Limbaugh into the oval office with his cigars to pay Bill back for his cigar sins with Monica? Will she become the first divorced lesbian president of the U.S.?

If elected will John McCain flash back to the Hanoi Hilton, mistake the presidents of Iran and Venezuela for Ho Chi Min and use the neutron bomb?

Stay tuned.

How does it play in Crown Point Indiana?

Let’s see, some people in the Obama Camp view the majority of democrat voters in Indiana as racist oppressors who support a government that injected AIDS into the Black community to oppress them; says God Damn the United Sates; and pretends that the hate mongering man-pastor the candidate knew , loved, supported and defended for twenty years is a sad mistake.

Members of the Clinton Camp, including former cabinet members and current members of the elite main stream media think of citizens of Indiana as “ Sh*t; worthless white nig*ers.” Wow.

How do you feel about that Crown Point?

Reverend Wright-Obama’s so-called-Pastor

I watched part of the Reverend Wright press conference yesterday and felt ill. My first reaction was visceral; I wondered if the Reverend was being a shill for Hillary, and sticking knives into Obama’s campaign.

The Honorable Reverend is far from being a stupid or uneducated man. Therefore I presume that he knows exactly what he’s doing and saying. As such I am saddened for him, his former congregation, the Christian Church at large, and I presume his soon-to-be former parishioner Barrack Obama.

Language has been the way the Reverend has supported himself for the last thirty some years and language is how he got his 10,000 square foot home in Tinley Park IL-a very nice place-and his 10 million dollar gift from his former church. He is a master of language. Here are a few of the verbal pictures he painted:

Obama is a lying politician.

Anybody who disagrees with the Reverend or Obama or the reverend’s mother is attacking the black church.

We live in a terrorist nation.

Anybody who disagrees with the Reverend or Obama or the reverend’s mother is stupid.

The government unleashed Aids on black America.

There were many others he let loose, but the all seem to have the same root of his internal discontent.

The reverend has hurt his parishioner-Obama, the Christian church at large, and his party. At the press conference yesterday he continually asked if people had heard the entirety of the various sermons that he claimed where cherry picked for “sound bites.”

Unfortunately, the Reverend pulled all of those sermons off of the churches internet server so we can’t listen to them now. How convenient.

Hillary Survives, Again!!!!

The Old Gal is still on her feet.
 
In a way, I admire her for that. She Takes a licking and keeps on ticking as it were. If she only weren't Hillary.
 
I am survived that the Democrat youth of  are enthralled with Obama. It reminds me of how the many of Hitler youth loved Hitler. Obama is the Lion of the Ku Daily Kos Klan.

Twiddle Dee and the Twiddle Dummies

John McCain (Twiddle Dee) sits one the sidelines while his opponents, Hillary and Obama (Twiddle Dummies) pound each other with the ferocity of a FIGHT CLUB. While the Dummies hurt each other in the primary for the Donkey party, the elderly bull Elephant rolls in the mud coating himself with filth and gook for the robust jousting fest all but guaranteed for the fall.

I personally find Twiddle Dee and the Twiddle Dummies unsatisfactory for the following reasons: Johnny boy McCain is too much like me; He’ll poke you in the eye just because he wants to and feign not understanding why you’re upset. I do believe that Johnny would kick Osama Bin Laden’s philosophical off spring in the balls they way they need to be kicked.

: Obama likes crack cocaine and having sex with men while high; and isn’t honest about it. As a Harvard graduate he doesn’t appear to be the sharpest tool in the shed and his wife has a racist mouth. Integrity in Chicago politics is like looking for the Virgin Mary in a Bangkok whorehouse; they are mutually exclusive. He attended a church in Chicago for twenty years which is the African American equivalent of an Aryan brotherhood in white communities.

: Hillary wants us to think or pretend she’s the Virgin Mary, but act like the whore of Babylon. She is Hillary. She is good in a knife fight though, and won’t back down. There is nothing she won’t do to win. The main stream media is running for Obama, but Hillary is far from finished. Never, Never, Never count the old gal out.

The world is changing. Our country is changing and our polity has changed. The main stream media is completely out of touch with the reality of our lives, economy and future. Technology is changing things so fast that not even the technological innovators know what’s going to happen. It’s all incredibly exciting and more then a little frightening.

 I worry that none of these three people is up to the task.

Who am I going to vote for?

I’m thinking of giving some money to Ralph Nadir this election cycle. Not because I like Ralph’s ideas, but because Johnny McCain is so not my guy. The one issue we are in agreement on 90% is national defense and the war on Terror. Many people don’t want to believe evil exists. Those of us who have faced real evil know differently.

Huckabee is being counted out by just about everybody, and his chances-at this moment- look to be slim.

The press is dancing on Hillary’s grave, but I won’t believe she’s out until Obama wins on the first ballot at the convention. Hillary has only begun to fight. She’s good with a knife and queen to the slash.

Obama can do no wrong. Ex gay lover stories keep popping up, but people look at his purple lips and give him a pass. It’s almost like Obama is running on the quota plan where he doesn’t have to pass rigorous scrutiny like everybody else to get the federal job. It’s strange.

John McCain is John McCain. He’s trying to mend a few fences with folks he has consistently given the finger to over the years, but we’re no really happy.

Then there’s Huck. I like Huck. He’s not a fiscal conservative, but neither is McCain, really.  We can hope for the Hail Mary, but He’s not Catholic.

So, Ralph, You’re looking better and better.

John
