France Calls Obama a Socialist: ‘World of Warcraft’ is all about CAPITALISM

It might be recalled that I have discussed in great detail free to all that the world willing to read that global governments are moving toward socialism because they lack the financial strength and productivity of America and can only hope that socialism will save their skins from years, and years of government mismanagement.  (CLICK HERE FOR THE MAP to see how socialism is infecting earth with a destructive political ideology.)  In America since socialism is a public relations nightmare—or at least it used to be, the word “PROGRESSIVE” has been used instead, and has been slowly sold through the public education system to naive young minds as busy parents simply needing a baby sitter didn’t pay any attention.  The result has been in America a mixed ideology of capitalism and socialism which is kind of like being in a marriage where the couple hates each other, but stay together for the kids.  Socialism is always looking to undermine capitalism as peace is just not an option, the two cannot co-exist.

I have declared openly that Obama is a functioning communist.  It looks as though he was raised as a communist and it’s all he knows.  And as anyone who understands such things knows, socialism is a big step toward communism.  Socialism is like having a diet Pepsi where communism is a regular Pepsi.  They are both sodas, but one is loaded with all kinds of nasty things, whereas the diet drink is intended to simulate the regular drink while avoiding all the nasty stuff.  Because Obama is a communist advancing the diet drink of socialism with great abundance the American economy is suffering terribly, and nobody wants to discuss it because socialism is a bad word in America.  So nobody calls it out by name.

Socialism started in America with labor unions and really kicked into gear during the Red Scare in the 1930’s leaving the progressive president FDR to enact many socialist American programs in his New Deal  to respond to global communism that was sweeping the planet.  This is how we ended up with Social Security and many other intrusive government programs.  But socialism didn’t stop there of course and is now advancing aggressively under Obama into nationalizing industries by the Federal government so that central authority control can be put in place—which has been the intention of communists all along—supported openly by many politicians, Obama simply being the latest.

It is hard for many people to believe, but the truth is what it is.  In Europe, which politicians like Obama love as an example of governance—but traditional Americans despise–socialism is out in the open.  In fact France has a socialist president.  In England socialism was hidden behind the name of the Labour Party and of course in America it was sold as the party of Democrats and the umbrella of Progressive politics.  But now Greece and Spain have openly supported the actual title of socialism.

Of course all these countries functioning under socialism are failing economically because socialism takes away personal responsibility and allows the weak and unproductive to feed off the exploits of the productive, and such a theory will never work in a million years.  It’s naive at best.  So after the French president was criticized for his high taxes on the rich, and companies threatened to shut down because they are owned by “the rich,” he simply replied that France could nationalize its industries instead of them functioning under private ownership, and he pointed at Obama as his gleaming example for what was going on in the United States.  Click the link below for more info.

It cannot be denied any longer.  Socialists are attacking our American way of life and they are doing so ruthlessly.  They are in essence predatory parasites, meaning they function as a collective of weaklings that require the looted efforts of strong backed individuals to carry them through life.  So it is time to meet them on the battle field and stop coddling them like infants crying for a pacifier.  Without capitalism America will fail, and for all the young kids reading this who thinks that what I’m saying won’t affect them, let me provide an example of capitalism and socialism that they might understand.  In the world of video games, over 10 million people play World of Warcraft.  Many of those 10 million people spend 5 to 6 hours a day playing that massive online game in a world of their own making with other players all over the world.  On weekends they spend over 12 hours per day.  It is likely that many of those 10 million either voted for Obama or support him without knowing why.  The idea of extended unemployment benefits, higher minimum wages, food stamps and many other government programs is very appealing to these young gamers, because it gives them more time to play their favorite online game with their virtual friends.  But the reason these people play the game of World of Warcraft is because in the real world, their lives are much more limited, and heavily regulated.  In the game of W.O.W a game player can spend all day working hard for their currency and leveling up their characters because they can see the results.  W.O.W. is a successful game because it frequently rewards players keeping them interested in playing the game.  But imagine playing W.O.W all day every day and then having the makers of the game tell players that they must send 50% of all the credits they’ve earned, and the skills their characters have acquired back to the video game manufacture as part of their fee for keeping the game operating.  Or that the game designers wish to give new players in W.O.W some of the other players money so that World of Warcraft would be more “fair and even” for new players who wouldn’t have to feel so bad when they were playing with and against players who have invested 200 to 1000 hours of time on W.O.W and have leveled their characters up to become very powerful.  If the makers of World of Warcraft did such a thing, the game would become very unpopular, and people would leave.  That is the difference between capitalism and socialism.  W.O.W. is a very capitalist system.   Players pay a small fee to play the game but get to keep most everything they make and produce within the game.  That is why W.O.W is successful, just like any economy, real or virtual.

In fact, it is partly because of this massive online gaming presence that members of the United Nations under control of Socialist International are looking to regulate trade and access to the internet.  They have seen that online games are a threat to their global philosophy.  Games like WOW that has over 10 million active users, and Star Wars: The Old Republic which has over 1 million and growing since it’s a very new release, along with the many millions that play Call of Duty on Xbox live every day, or Madden Football, or any number of releases are enjoying online PURE CAPITALISM because there is no limit to what they can do, only what their minds and time can produce.   When politicians and even parents wonder what the great appeal is to online gaming with kids, it is that games are pure capitalism still, and Socialists International fears that realization because they control every other aspect of human life in some form or another—and have come to realize that they must gain control of the online world in some way soon—starting with an online sales tax.  When it is asked why kids don’t want to play outside anymore, think about it—half the neighborhood neurotic mothers who also vote for school levies pad their kids up for safety instead of letting them get bumps and bruises.  Making playing outside difficult with knee pads and helmets just to ride a bicycle pushes kids somewhere else where they aren’t so restricted, just like any businessman.  Kids go online and play games where they can be free.

Socialism takes away the ambition to do anything.  I feel it myself.  There are a lot of things I would do that society would greatly benefit from, but to be honest, I don’t want to deal with the pin-headed bureaucrats to make those things happen so I stay out of the market place.  If things were deregulated, I might do more that would benefit society, but since doing anything productive these days requires a major pain in the ass investment of time and money, it is simply not worth it.  So I write books, because looting socialist bureaucrats have not yet found a way to tax the ideas that come out of my mind since they don’t control my thinking.  And there is a part of me who understands young people who would rather play a video game than to start a new business.  Because in the game, even though none of it is real, the player at least gets to keep what they earned while investing their time.  In real life, politicians guided by socialism want to take some of what everyone earns, so many young people just lock themselves in their bedrooms and play World of Warcraft filing for food stamps and other welfare programs rather than get a real job that’s unsatisfying, because they want more time to play their games.

Socialism is the culprit that is ruining the lives of Americans, and it is politicians like Obama who are advancing that destructive political philosophy most aggressively.  It doesn’t matter how much he smiles, or speaks, and manipulates, he is a socialist who also happens to be a lawyer with a proven history of taking great liberties with the truth.  Whoever supports a person like Obama is a damned fool and is directly responsible for the destruction of America.  Because once Obama and his fellow socialist have nationalized the world’s economy, they will come after the video game industry to eradicate from the minds of mankind any trace of capitalism forever.  That is when the young people playing W.O.W. will have wished they paid as much attention to politics as they do the story lines of their video games, because if they had, they may have been able to stop the spread of socialism that destroyed everything they knew and loved.

Bill Clinton and Gennifer Flowers: The 2005 meeting attempt and progressive agenda against marriage

I kept waiting for other media outlets to pick up this story, but nobody has, so here it is. A few did, but it died on the vine rather quickly, and deserves some considerable attention. Back in the 1990’s the story of the Gennifer Flowers affair with Bill Clinton was quite a scandal—and in many ways it served progressives well by providing the template of lies, and deceit that a politician can now engage in—which was always a progressive agenda item. Bill Clinton is a hero to the progressive cause because he was one of the first of his kind of politician to lie so openly, dodge federal prosecution, and still win the hearts of America with a favorable memory of his two disastrous terms in office. It was Bill and Hillary Clinton who taught modern progressives as lawyers how to lie straight into the lens of a camera and gain public approval to crush investigations before they had a chance to happen. The tactic that Bill Clinton used in the 1990’s is the same type of tactics that Barack Obama uses today—also an attorney—and that is to win the jury in the box in spite of the evidence that is presented to a judge. Bill Clinton was and still is the master of deception. In fact, he is so arrogant about his ability to lie, cheat and manipulate the public that as recently as 2005, after denying the affair he had with Flowers for over 20 years he showed up at Flowers house to attempt to re-establish contact with her. Watch a recent interview with her below and wrap your mind around the level of deceit and treachery that she is claiming—then consider that the show she is on is a very small program of little significance. Such a story should have been plastered on every network all over the country, but story editors have long ago determined that going after Bill Clinton is a losing proposition.

Even to the extent of lying about their relationship over such a long period of time, Clinton obviously with the full knowledge of his wife Hillary—currently serving in the Obama White House—attempted to establish contact knowing that every eye in the world is watching him. He did not care, and did it anyway because he knew he could always wiggle out of it if he were caught. I have written a lot about Bill Clinton and to review some of those articles and what Clinton is really after in life, CLICK HERE. But for the case of this instance, have a look at the video below and watch the classic 60 Minutes episode where Bill and Hillary completely staged the revelation of the Flowers affair then denied it so that he could boost his name recognition. That interview put him into every living room in America at the time. Compare the video below with the video above to gain insight into just how scummy these politicians can be, and often are. Keep in mind that the purpose of the affair release was to put money in Flowers pocket, boost their presidential platform exposure to a national audience, Hillary knew everything about the affair and was alright with it—which points to the fact that Bill and Hillary have an “open marriage” and that both of them had no problem lying about the facts to achieve their political goals—and did so at whatever cost.

Most people have a strain of evil in them, and it comes out from time to time in little instances usually provoked by stress or tragedy. But they are not so maniacal to plot and scheme to such a treacherous level as people like Bill Clinton have and not worry at all whether or not they could lawyer their way out of the mess. Clinton showed progressives how to beat the system, he is the “case law” of progressive politics and that is why he is a hero in the minds of progressives even to this day. They do not care about the essence of Clinton’s character; they do not care if he is a confirmed liar, a master manipulator, or a parasite to the human race—because most progressives are. In the social collectivism they so adamantly support they do not find the individual behavior of Bill Clinton reprehensible because their continued focus is always on the greater good—which might seem like a lofty goal—but that lofty goal is often set by liars, cheats, and womanizing freaks like Bill Clinton, and is imposed on the rest of us for all of American history. The video below shows to what celebrity status Clinton has managed to maintain among his progressive base. He played a huge part in the re-election of Barack Obama using the same old manipulative tactics he used during his own presidency, and progressives love him for it. Notice the song they introduced him with at the DNC Convention—listen to the words. Welcome to the mind of the progressive and the scum and villainy they perpetuate upon mankind, as they try to convince America that “yesterday’s gone” and the only direction is the progressive “Move Forward” slogan designed to carry America away from its traditions, including traditional—monogamous—sexual relationships with their spouses. They desire a world of Orgy Porgy. CLICK HERE FOR MORE.

When the Flowers story broke in 1992 the media was a different animal, and so was America. The Clintons used a Trojan Horse strategy to get themselves into the White House so they could write their own rules in the game of politics, and they changed it forever. It is because of them that a goofball like Barack Obama can get by with such a terrible record, a checkered past and never be expected to do anything while president and still have the cheers of the crowd, because progressives reside in the very heart of evil itself. Their lives are built upon collective salvation and do not function from individual possession and traditional American principles. They are a menace to our country and cannot be trusted for anything they utter, because they have proven a willingness to look society in the eye and lie to achieve the aims of the collective for goals unspecified. And that is the real danger, that nothing they say can be trusted. Yet to the minds of many, these liars are believe heroes who have set the moral groundwork for the America of tomorrow, which has always been their sinister aim, even way back when Bill and Hillary sat on a couch during a 60 Minutes interview, Hillary’s hair cut to look like a typical modern woman, her arm placed behind her husband lovingly, and told a straight-faced lie to millions of Americans without a thought or a care as to being caught by the impropriety. They knew that once elected, they would change the rules that all of society functioned under—and to a large extent they have, to the cheers of millions.

Evil carries with it many siren songs of fatality—meant to be lucrative; otherwise the ideas would be utterly rejected. Dear reader, did you think that evil would show itself with horns and a pitchfork? The only fork one is likely to see with these modern examples of pure evil is that of the tongue that utters mountains of lies built on a foundation of progressive manipulation.

Understanding the “Fiscal Cliff”: Promises to Obama’s Jakarta playground friends

One of the big reasons that it is important to know what kind of person the President of the United States is, why they should be born in America, why they should not have communist parents, why they should at least have attend school in the States, is to avoid catastrophes like what we are all facing with the upcoming “fiscal cliff” negotiations, where I have pointed out over and over again that Obama has only one goal, to spread the wealth as he learned from the ideas of Marxism not just across America, but the entire world.  Many people forget that the little boy Obama as a grade school lad did not attend education in America for his entire youth, it was in Indonesia.  When he played outside, it was not in America that he played, but in the third world country of his mother’s second husband, and his world view was certainly shaped by those events, as has become exceedingly obvious.  Obama clearly wishes to drain the wealth of America so that places like his childhood home of Indonesia can prosper and he is using the theories of communism to justify his wealth distribution policies.   However, many people don’t know these things about Obama.  They simply know that he is the first black president and for them that is good enough.  They do not care that Obama does not have the management skills to pay one 14-year-old to cut his grass, let along manage the affairs of the Executive Branch.  They also do not care that Obama’s communist background is at the core of his willingness to send America over the fiscal cliff that is coming up at the end of December.  In fact, many Americans have no idea what the “fiscal cliff” even is, so for them I present my radio friend from Michigan, Matt Clark on 1600 WAAM as he explains very well what the average person needs to know about this upcoming crises.  Have a listen.

As far as I’m concerned the Bush Tax Cuts are too high, so the discussion of anything more is not even on the radar.  I view the federal government as a bunch of crooks that are unable to do anything else productive in their lives but steal money through taxation.  The only way they can give value to their lives is by stealing money from the public through taxes, then doing something through wealth redistribution to the less fortunate so they can feel they’ve done something useful in their pathetic lives.  Meanwhile, they enrich themselves well out of the range of financial suffering with crooked back-room deals all up and down K-Street where just a few blocks from The White House where Obama tucks his children into their beds at night, prostitutes and drug dealers perform every reprehensible task imaginable, and many of the law makers on Capitol Hill are in on the act in some way or another.  So more taxes no matter who they are on means only more criminal behavior from the looters who serve as law makers in Congress, the Senate, and Executive Branch, and I wouldn’t think of giving any of those idiots even a tip at a restaurant let alone more money.  They have done a reprehensible job of managing the American economy and shouldn’t be awarded.

Obama however appears to be living out a promise he made to boyhood friends on the playgrounds of Jakarta, living in a Menteng Dalam neighborhood in the Tebet subdistrict, then from 1970 in a wealthier neighborhood in the Menteng subdistrict.   From ages six to ten, Obama attended local Indonesian-language schools: St. Francis of Assisi Catholic School for two years and Besuki Public School from one and half years, and even the nicest of these places would be considered “dumps” by American standards.  Obama seems to want to steal the wealth of America so his old neighborhoods in Jakarta can prosper off the loot.  This is why he doesn’t care if the American economy tanks, if the whole system collapses, because his loyalties are not to American citizens, but his boyhood friends from Indonesia.   There is nothing about Obama’s behavior that leads me to believe he has any patriotic American sensibilities, and this is the kind of person that Republicans are negotiating with.  Obama is an Islamic sympathizer who pretends to be a Christian, and he’s a communist who pretends he’s a capitalist.  He is as misleading about his background and intentions fiscally as Bill Clinton is socially—always saying one thing, while meaning something else entirely.

So as the “fiscal cliff” draws near, understand that you have all been warned.  The personalities driving the train to the cliff are a variety of radicals all with different agendas.  But Obama’s is the most foreign of them all.  Obama is not functioning from greed, political strategy, or even concern over his own legacy.  Obama wants to end America.  His actions speak of no other intention and his background supports the theory.  The “fiscal cliff” is a chance for Obama to run America into a wall of debt, worthless money, and a morally corrupt people, all of which he has had his fingers in helping to create.  So don’t be surprised when things go badly, because they will.  Obama has nothing to lose and everything to gain from ending America.  He does not want a balance budget, he does not want peace.  He does not want American productivity.  At the end of his presidency, he’ll take his money and move to Hawaii, and curry favor in future United Nations initiatives.  By then, under progressive calculations, America will have lost its sovereignty, its superpower status, and its influence throughout the world.  Obama will be a global hero by removing America from the international scene paving the way for Socialist International to unite the world under communism once and for all.  Obama will be set for life, and the rest of us will wonder how we let it happen.  That is what the “fiscal cliff” is all about and what’s at stake.  This is also why Republicans should play hard ball and hang the price tag from the big ears of Obama and let him have responsibility for the recession that follows.  Trying to ease the pain in this case will actually end American sovereignty, so let Obama and his minions of evil hit the wall with the rest of us.

Elections have consequences, and this is what 51% of America voted for.  So let the idiots have it.

Teacher Kelsey Hartmann from Huber Heights: Having sex with kids to keep a market edge

I knew there was a reason I always liked Darryl Parks from 700 WLW.  On his first Saturday show of December 2012 he offered an excellent reason why Kelsy Hartmann from Huber Heights—was caught  having sex with one of her 16-year-old students in her husband’s car while pretending to do some last-minute shopping on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving.  According to Kelsey’s latest evaluation she was an excellent teacher, leaving Darryl to conclude that Kelsey was simply doing what many other teachers have been doing in the competitive field of public education, and that is to personally reach out to their students to give them something unique that all the evolving education tools are doing better, such as the modern computer.  One thing that a computer can’t do for young students is have intercourse with them to keep their interests so during these very difficult times when school budgets are shrinking, and work forces are being reduced teachers like Kelsey have determined to stay on top of their students–quite literally.  Maestros de escuelas públicas de amor tener sexo con hombres jóvenes y chupar sus penes!  No wonder so many parents support public education for their needy young sons.  And no wonder so many students take to the streets to tear down the signs of tax opposition when school levies are attempted.  The young boys of public education know they can’t get sex this easy anywhere else but in their classrooms, so they defend their sexually charged teachers with a fury.  Check out the pictures of Kesley at Darryl’s blog posting, and then listen to his Saturday broadcast below.

I think Darryl is right; Rosetta Stone software has changed the field of foreign language education.  In these modern times of 2012, it is rather easy to learn a foreign language should one wish to, completely invalidating the old archaic style performed in front of a classroom.  The two years of mandatory high school foreign language education is absolutely out of date—because the modern computer does a much better job than a traditional teacher.  So credit must be given to Kelsey and her barrage of other public school teachers and their labor unions all around Ohio who have tener mucho sexo con hombres jóvenes y tragar su semon en cantidades tales que los maestros beben su hombría por la taza con el café.  And we thought teachers were drinking coffee in the morning……………………..apparently not.

A computer can teach young students in high school better than just about any teacher in any course these days—math, science, history and especially foreign language. Since most people learn by visual stimulation, the computer is much better equipped to perform most of the modern education tasks with far superior results than the traditional teacher, and the computer is a lot cheaper on labor too.  But a computer will not steal the keys of her husband’s car and meet with students on the side of a road and have sex with them to keep their interest in public education like Kelsey and her other tri-state teachers will.  That is the one thing the computer cannot do better, and that is actually provide such “hands on” training.

So whenever a school levy is voted for, and support for public education is declared, think of the over the top and under the covers antics of many fine teachers like Kelsey Hartmann and how dedicated to their students they truly are—so much so that they are willing to stay on top of their students needs—literally.  Kelsey le encanta sentarse sobre el pene de sus alumnos en el asiento trasero de un coche.    Auuuuhhh…………….public education at its finest.

Politicians Who Ask for Tax Increases: They are all guilty of mismanagement

Sadly, the days that online sales will remain tax-free are coming to an end as money-grubbing politicians addicted to altruism look to every crevice of the economy to loot money satisfying their name-plate addictions.  California has already taken such steps and given the massive amount of online sales conducted during the 2012 Holiday Season, politicians strapped for cash and needing even more taxes to cover their gross mismanagement look for additional revenue to disguise their tendency to legalized theft for the political class.

http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0912/81239.html

What big government advocates neglect to consider is that small tax supporters see the management of the current tax structure as pathetically foolish.  Who in their right mind would give more money to a spending addict, and that is what almost every politician in office is, no matter how big or small the office.  Politicians are disconnected from the money because it isn’t theirs to begin with and once they learn that they can gain great power by doing favors for demographic groups of voters, and that power enriches them in ways they could never achieve in legitimate business, they are hooked for life—so only an idiot would advocate giving more money to those kinds of people.  The situation is really reprehensible, and I simply don’t wish to support legalized theft.  The theft is legalized because it is law makers who make up the laws that they use to gain wealth from normal every day people who elect them to manage governmental affairs, then discover too late that they must pay their taxes at the amounts the politicians dictate, or go to jail.  That is why it is called legalized theft.

Internet sales have been thriving largely because sales tax on the internet has not been collected allowing profit to drive online businesses with almost pure capitalism that has been one of the saving graces in the American economy.  Brick and mortar stores are complaining that online businesses are free of the kind of restrictions that they are under—which is true.  Even companies like Best Buy are considering shutting down their real stores in favor of an online model similar to what Amazon.com function under—mostly to avoid the cost of those buildings—driven largely by looting tax laws.  That is after all what happened to Blockbuster Video.

The correct direction for America would be to eliminate sales tax for all retail shopping, so pure competition can determine winners from losers, but that will never happen without bloodshed now that politicians have become addicted to the tax revenue from sales tax.  More taxes allow poor management to hide their incompetency, and all politicians no matter what their ideological stances are managers who have been hired to manage the affairs of the electorate.  When a politician asks for more money they are admitting that they have failed in their management of taxes, and in America, California has been the worst of the worst culprit in mismanaging tax revenue.  This is why they are now taxing online sales revenue in a hopeless bid to keep their brick and mortar businesses from fleeing the state from high tax rates. Meanwhile politicians can throw more stolen money to their public employees and other grossly mismanaged mishaps for a few more years with the additional revenue without a care as to the long-term peril that their actions will have on the national economy as a whole.

Tax increases are the demands of the incompetent and addicted driven personalities of over-indulgence, and they should be eliminated by starving them out of existence.  Giving such lunatics more of anything is only perpetuating evil as it feeds off the collective welfare of the good and productive.  Taxes are therefore a form of evil, because they allow bad and corrupt personalities to rule over their intellectual betters with the legal mechanisms of democratic rule.  Such realizations have been glazed over as the last refuge of the freedom minded has fled online to hide in cyberspace from the long arm of the bureaucrat.  But not anymore, taxes are coming to the internet because enough people didn’t stand their ground and fight off the fools. Instead they yielded like they always do to more tax grabs by the very worst that human society produces, the popularity contest propelled politician and their vanquished souls of mismanagement.  It is because of such politicians that the American economy suffers, and it is the fault as well as all who are complicit with their silence.  The economic downward spiral of modern society has the blood of all such people on their hands with both their simplistic power plays and their mild acceptance of such evils operating with full understanding of a treacherous tomorrow ushered in by the follies of politicians.

The Sin of Caring: Wisdom from Mark Etterling

The post-election exit polling proved that Obama got a big bump simply by showing up for a photo-op with Chris Christie after Hurricane Sandy even though he was only on the ground for a very short time.  The reply from most respondents was that they thought it showed how much he “cared”.  This commentary isn’t about bashing Obama for what he did or didn’t do.  It’s about bashing the ignorance of people who would ever vote for any candidate, whether Democrat or Republican, for such a stupid reason.  Personally, I don’t waste time concerning myself about how much any politician cares.  What I do concern myself with is if politicians are doing the right things regardless of whether they care or not.
It shouldn’t really matter if a politician is white or black, gay or straight, man or woman, or from any other type of demographic.  Nor should we be looking for exact perfection in any candidate’s philosophy or character.  The way I see it, the only way I’ll ever find a candidate that agrees with me on every issue is if I run for office myself and sometimes even I find myself conflicted.  As far as I can tell the only person ever to have had a perfect character ended up getting crucified for it.  For the rest, none of us are completely sin free, so why hold up unrealistic expectations about our candidates?
In the modern era of politics we find ourselves perpetually complaining about how terrible our government is.  The current congressional approval rating is floundering in the single digits.  Since the current Congress is evenly split on control both sides are equally at fault.  However, the real blame for all this mess actually lays with us the voters.  We tend to put far too much emphasis on the emotional aspects of who we vote for instead of considering the logical tools that are required for our politicians to find the appropriate answers to today’s issues.  To put it bluntly, we aren’t getting the right answers from our politicians because we’ve become so apathetic about the things that really matter that we aren’t even asking the right questions in the first place.  We allow the media to waste time discussing whether Obama is a Muslim or about Romney being a Mormon.  Who cares when we should have been demanding that both explain how their tax strategies would have worked.
We fret over political correctness when in truth political correctness is nothing more than a buzz word for censorship.  We waste time complaining about all the political discourse and whether our leaders get along, play nice together, and compromise instead of worrying about them getting things right.  Political discourse shouldn’t be cursed, it should be celebrated.  I could care less if our leaders don’t like each other and have disagreements.  What I do care about is that they find real solutions to real problems even if it does elicit some name calling along the way.  Besides, disagreements are actually a good thing in both business and politics because it means you are looking at issues from various angles.  As a business leader I don’t want to surround myself with a bunch of “yes men”.  I prefer those around me to give me their own thoughts regardless of if they agree with mine or not so that we don’t overlook any potential obstacles when formulating solutions.  What we don’t do is compromise on the right answer just so that we can all get along.
Two plus two equals four.  If someone tells you it’s five they are wrong, period.  It’s useless to settle at 4 ½ because that isn’t the right answer either.  I don’t want politicians compromising just so they can get something passed.  Instead, I want them to hash things out in the arena of ideas until they come up with the right answer.  Otherwise, the compromise typically won’t fix things and is likely to cause a brand new mess all its own.  Whenever I hear someone say that they are willing to reach across the isle, I only want them to do so in order to slap someone upside the head when they are wrong, not so that they can take the easy route of compromise.  I want to see politicians wise up, stand up, and put their middle finger up to the whole concept of conceding to an inferior solution just to get along.
Allowing any politician to slide by simply by taking the emotional cliché response to an issue not only lets them off the hook, but typically creates an even bigger mess than what the original issue started out to be.  For example, someone might make the emotionally compelling argument that we need to raise the minimum wage rate.  It’s easy for a politician to sign off on such an idea by simply claiming that they are only looking out for the poor.  However, what doesn’t happen is any attempt to look at the long-term effects brought about by such an idea.  Yes, those at minimum wage will get a raise, but what also happens is that fewer jobs get created, worker hours get cut, prices go up, and businesses go bankrupt.  If Wal-Mart is forced to raise its pay scale every politician for miles around will give themselves a big pat on the back while proclaiming that they played a part in making it happen.  What you won’t see is the same response when the layoff notices also start flowing.
We complain about politics without realizing that it is our own apathy that makes us part of the problem, not part of the solution.  We become our own paradox by demanding so much from our politicians while at the same time asking so little.  We want to exist in a wonderful world of entitlements, but never bother asking where those entitlements are coming from.  We spout talking points without any knowledge of what the adverse affects of those talking points might be.  We accept the promise without questioning the premise.  In the long run having Obama win a second term doesn’t really scare me.  It’s the concept behind why he won a second term that scares the heck out of me.  It’s easy for a politician to destroy a nation by making all the wrong choices.  However, no politician, no matter how much they care can save a nation.  Only the people themselves can accomplish that task, and even they can’t do it through apathy or emotionalism.  We can only save ourselves once we become part of the solution.  That’s when caring really counts.

Hobby Lobby faces $1.3 Million in Daily Fines: More “hidden” costs of the Obamanation

David Green the CEO of Hobby Lobby has had to take action to protect himself from the terrible costs of mandated government health care advocated by President Obama and his gang of government thugs.  Below is a letter from Green in an attempt to get his story out.  This is not a new action, but given the re-election of Obama by the rule of the stupid and foolish looking for a social hand-out as opposed to American self-reliance, this story regarding Hobby Lobby needs to be told so others facing similar issues can figure out how to deal with Obamacare, or fold in order to protect the hard work they have amassed over many years of productivity.  Now might be a time to cash in and check out before government invades your businesses forever.

A Letter from Hobby Lobby Stores CEO
By David Green, the founder and CEO of Hobby Lobby Stores, Inc.

When my family and I started our company 40 years ago, we were working out of a garage on a $600 bank loan, assembling miniature picture frames. Our first retail store wasn’t much bigger than most people’s living rooms, but we had faith that we would succeed if we lived and worked according to God’s word. From there,Hobby Lobby has become one of the nation’s largest arts and crafts retailers, with more than 500 locations in 41 states. Our children grew up into fine business leaders, and today we run Hobby Lobby together, as a family.

We’re Christians, and we run our business on Christian principles. I’ve always said that the first two goals of our business are (1) to run our business in harmony with God’s laws, and (2) to focus on people more than money. And that’s what we’ve tried to do. We close early so our employees can see their families at night. We keep our stores closed on Sundays, one of the week’s biggest shopping days, so that our workers and their families can enjoy a day of rest. We believe that it is by God’s grace that Hobby Lobby has endured, and he has blessed us and our employees. We’ve not only added jobs in a weak economy, we’ve raised wages for the past four years in a row. Our full-time employees start at 80% above minimum wage.

But now, our government threatens to change all of that. A new government health care mandate says that our family business MUST provide what I believe are abortion-causing drugs as part of our health insurance. Being Christians, we don’t pay for drugs that might cause abortions, which means that we don’t cover emergency contraception, the morning-after pill or the week-after pill. We believe doing so might end a life after the moment of conception, something that is contrary to our most important beliefs. It goes against the Biblical principles on which we have run this company since day one. If we refuse to comply, we could face $1.3 million PER DAY in government fines.

Our government threatens to fine job creators in a bad economy. Our government threatens to fine a company that’s raised wages four years running. Our government threatens to fine a family for running its business according to its beliefs. It’s not right. I know people will say we ought to follow the rules; that it’s the same for everybody. But that’s not true. The government has exempted thousands of companies from this mandate, for reasons of convenience or cost. But it won’t exempt them for reasons of religious belief.

So, Hobby Lobby ? and my family ? are forced to make a choice. With great reluctance, we filed a lawsuit today, represented by the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty, asking a federal court to stop this mandate before it hurts our business. We don’t like to go running into court, but we no longer have a choice. We believe people are more important than the bottom line and that honoring God is more important than turning a profit.

My family has lived the American dream. We want to continue growing our company and providing great jobs for thousands of employees, but the government is going to make that much more difficult. The government is forcing us to choose between following our faith and following the law. I say that’s a choice no American ? and no American business ? should have to make.

The government cannot force you to follow laws that go against your fundamental religious belief. They have exempted thousands of companies but will not except Christian organizations including the Catholic church.Since you will not see this covered in any of the liberal media, pass this on to all your contacts.

Sincerely, 

David Green, CEO and Founder of Hobby Lobby Stores, Inc.

The Wonders of Capitalism: American Football Versus European Soccer

The motivating driver behind communism for the proletariat—(the workers) has always been a false sense of fairness in the marketplace.  For that fairness communists of old and progressives of new have sought to replace capitalism with socialism and in America this has been attempted through labor unions.  Anyone who participates in a labor union either public or private is functioning from a communist economic social engineering experiment that is designed to attack capitalism which is the economic engine behind freedom in an American lifestyle that puts a lot of pressure on the tyrants of the world to adopt.  Those power-hungry tyrannical responses however have been to attempt to destroy America through the sponsoring of international alliances—primarily through the United Nations, and spread labor unions as a direct attack on Americas brand of capitalism.  To understand why capitalism is so important to America the video below will position the argument wonderfully, and needs to be watched.

After the failure at Hostess, and in response to an article I wrote about it which can be reviewed by CLICKING HERE, I received a comment by a union supporter who is using the same old tired proletariat argument that public education teachers use, unionized steel workers, electrical workers, firefighters, police departments, even grocery store workers—that it’s not fair that the rich bourgeois class in management enriched themselves at the expense of the worker.  In fact this is exactly the same rhetoric that Barack Obama ran on to get re-elected in an open avocation of socialism by pandering to the masses and their ignorance about economic engines.  During my discussion with this poor lost soul I explained the reasons why the situation at Hostess was fair for the workers who lost their jobs at the expense of management by comparing the economic conditions to those who drive a car.  The conversation can be seen below:

  • Communist Union Lover:   Um, why does this have no discussion of how horrendously management f’cked up in this situation by giving themselves all between 60-300% raises when the company was already soaked with debt?
  • Rich Hoffman’s response:  Because it is irrelevant. It is the ownership and managements job to operate the company, not the employees. Collective bargaining is a destructive enterprise. Think of it like everyone in a car trying to drive that car. Everyone wanting to turn in different directions. It doesn’t work, yet that is what collective bargaining does. It is the driver’s job to drive the car, and that is management. If the driver crashes and kills all in the car by their mistake that is very sad, but the responsibility for driving the car is the driver, not the passengers. If you think the management is bad and is going to wreck the car, then get out of it and find some other car to carry you around. That is the choice, and luxury of the employee. It may not pay the same, but it gives more freedom of movement than those in management who take all the hard risks.
  • Communist Union Lover:   Ok, let’s get something out-of-the-way first: collective bargaining inevitably exists in the free market since we all pursue self-interest, and the employees of a company like Hostess share common individual self-interests. It doesn’t matter if collective bargaining is “destructive” because it is going to exist in the free market no matter what, minus a concerted effort by the government to destroy union labor. Public sector unions are a different issue.   A large part of why Hostess failed is because they have not adapted to the marketplace and their staple products have lost popularity. That is not anyone’s fault but the better judgment of the American people. The company carried a lot of debt but whether or not debt or union contracts was the main issue is not really what’s important to me. Management was trying to cut Bakers’ pay by 8%, benefits by 32% at the same time that the CEO gave himself a 300% raise and nine other executives received 60-100% raises and they owed $160M to the employees’ pension. I want to know what kind of management team looks at their company, sees how terrible of a condition its in and undertakes such venal measures at the expense of the employees and then expects people to believe that the union destroyed the company. Anyways, apparently the employees would rather let management be the victims of their own decisions than continue with the company. The free market at work.
  • Rich Hoffman’s response:  That’s a reasonable response. I would bet that the employees saw the writing on the wall and probably should have stepped out of the car at a stop sign–since the driver was apparently drunk. The driver too (management) knew the condition of the car was bad so they drank more to forget about it making the situation worse for everyone. The CEO and key management knew the bankruptcy portion would be painful and an insult to their leadership so they padded their pockets for the exit while the decision was still theirs. The employees who lost their jobs will find other jobs if they want them. But the CEO and management might have more difficult time. After all who wants to hire a management team from Hostess that ran the company into a tree?

It is sad that so many people in America have been infected like progressive zombies this hatred of capitalism.  It is odd that the same mouths that utter such support against capitalism will spend their entire weekends watching American Football which is essentially a game of capitalism invented to reflect Americas economic engine compared to the game of soccer that the rest of the world plays.  American Football is a game of capitalism whereas soccer is socialism.  I say that primarily because the fundamental rules of the game dictate such suggestions.  Football is all about gaining yards on the field of play and scoring eventually as an enterprising team moves the ball down the field.  In American Football a defense becomes offsides when a player jumps into the neutral zone prior to the ball being snapped.   In Soccer a player is offsides when an offensive forward or halfback gets behind a defensive fullback when the ball is lobbed down the field.  In American Football this kind of outmaneuvering is considered great.  In European Soccer, it is penalized.  This is in essence what every labor union is trying to impose on every business, this idea of fairness that one might find in soccer where two teams might smack the ball around for two hours and only score 2 points.  In American Football a good score would be in the 20’s or 30’s.  That is the big difference between capitalism and socialism, one produces many more points but might be considered unfair for those not fast enough or strong enough to keep up with the various offenses in the games of life.  Socialism—always leading to communism makes fairness the primary motivator, but leads to a boring game where the ball just bounces randomly all over the field until someone just so happens to get lucky and score.

The way to solve America’s economic problems is to ban all aspects of socialism in favor of pure capitalism.  Just like in American football, more rules lead to fewer points.   More rules lead to the game of soccer, which is what Europeans call—(football).  They do not think the way Americans do, and their opinions on matters of goodness, fairness, and economic fortitude need to be cast aside for the good of the world, because like the union lover shown above—they do not have the intellectual understanding to help themselves, much less anyone else.

In modern America it is only the Tea Party who today is advocating the health of capitalism and for that they are called “terrorists” by supporters of progressive socialism.  That makes it very easy to see who the enemies of America truly are.  But the path to limited government and strong fiscal business markets is in more capitalism and less socialism—and it is the goal of the Tea Party to help re-teach Americans about capitalism as the labor unions have spent so many years teaching a hatred for the primary economic force that stands behind individual freedom—which is capitalism.

This is what we are fighting to keep!

In America we do everything better–BECAUSE of CAPITALISM

Van Jones and the Tea Party: The punch in the mouth is coming

Don’t kid yourself into thinking that inaction will lead to peace. Van Jones declared himself a communist in 1992 and has been a big part of the ground game of progressive politics since those early days of the present attack on American liberty. So when Jones says that the Tea Party is threatening to destroy America, what he means is that the return to Constitutionally based principles is a threat to the gains that communism has made in The United States with small amounts of socialism that has been implemented gradually over a long period of time. You can read more about Van Jones at the link below.

LEARN ABOUT VAN JONES–CLICK HERE

When he calls the Tea Party “terrorists” he is simply reacting to the resistance against progressive tactical movements toward open socialism in America. If not for the rise of the Tea Party, people like Van Jones would have had unfettered dominion over many passive minds into furthering the cause of global communism.

Because he fulfills the communist agenda put down in 1958 through the book, The Naked Communist, (CLICK HERE FOR REVIEW, read that list and say all this is a conspiracy), he has been placed on every television network friendly to open national socialism, and media outlet who wishes to advance the 45 points described in that book as a way to change America from what it was into what they want it to be. Make no mistake about it—Van Jones and his kind of people are attacking America to change it into socialism—followed by communism—and the only resistance they have is the Tea Party.

Now that Obama has been re-elected to another term, with a lot of help from the Van Jones ground game, progressives are seeing the anger of middle-America and they are a bit shocked by it. The gun sales are way up as many citizens of Texas, Kentucky, Tennessee, Indiana, and Southern Ohio along with many other secure Red States are rushing out to buy fire arms to defend themselves from the obvious communist plot that has been at a slow boil in Washington—even while many Republicans helped turn up the heat ever so slightly. In the days after the 2012 Election many people went to the White House website and signed a petition to secede from the Union, and this has raised some insider eye-brows.

So it is noticeable that Van Jones has shifted his gears in calling the Tea Party a bunch of crazy terrorists radicals—which the media and many young influential college students have been happy to repeat—to calling them an “impressive” organization. He is not saying such things to appease the ego of the Tea Party, he is changing his tone to lull back to sleep the anger that is emerging, so that the Tea Party does not resort to the kind of tactics that he has been guilty of for 20 years—radical insurrection as both a political outsider with an aggressive ground game, and a political insider with the ear of the president.

If you’ve ever been in a fist fight with another human being—where you were coaxed into stepping out into the parking lot to beat the hell out of the punk, and once there, the big mouth seeing your willingness to fight complimented you on your courage and offered to buy you a drink, you’ll see the same tactic now being played by people like Van Jones. The provocateur knows you are about to kick his ass, and he knows by the anger on your face that he doesn’t stand a chance, so he seeks to appeal to your good side and calm you down again—since his bluff has been called. That is what Van Jones is doing now in the wake of Obama’s re-election.

The communist progressives are trying to separate the Republicans from the Tea Party because they believe that will take away the voice of the Tea Party in national government—and they are quick to point out the losses the Tea Party had in the last election—as they hope this trend will continue.

But the difference is that the Tea Party is not playing checkers against the communists who have been playing chess all along. No, the Tea Party is playing a combination of Chess and Battleship both at the same time. What Van Jones and the rest of the progressives are worried about is that they have just awaken a sleeping giant in the core of the United States and they are climbing on board with the resistance movement against progressives. Many people assumed that Obama would lose because he was such a diabolical president the first time around, so they didn’t vote—and shame on them. Meanwhile, the communist progressives like Van Jones brought their backers to the voting booth and did whatever they had to do to skew the numbers in their favor. The victory was hardly decisive as many Americans have given up on the election process and are now cleaning their guns anticipating trouble. Obama won because collectivism works in their favor—their people are all functioning from the same play book, but conservatives are divided on how to defeat progressives—but the anger of seeing progressives continuing to ruin the nation can unite such divisions.

In the wake of the election Romney’s comment about half the country being “takers” is correct, and the other half of the country knows it—but out of kindness, nobody speaks about it. Well, not any more, because the game is on the table, and people see what’s happening, and they know they have been manipulated, and taken advantage of. And it is for that reason that there is a pause in the progressives step and a bit of reconciliation in their voice, because they know they are about to get punched in the mouth—and it is going to hurt.

The division among conservatives is not whether or not the progressives will be punched in the face, it’s only a matter of how hard. My thoughts are to knock their damn heads clean off while others wish to simply slap their cheeks. But either way, trouble is coming for the progressives and they know it. Peace is not the path to the preservation of American freedom, and no amount of name-calling can stop that now.

The Progressive Zombie Apocalypse: How to defeat the vile creatures from blue voting zones

Some words that come to describe an Idiot: mooncalf, zombie, congenital idiot, born fool, the mentally handicapped, cretin, moron, fool[1]  In fact, it would appear that more than 60 million idiotic Americans are now part of the Progressive Zombie Apocalypse.  I have shown you dear reader how to defeat these progressive zombies who are more politely termed as diabolical idiots.   If you have forgotten what I’ve said and done in the past click the link below to review.

THE WLW INTERVIEW OF RICH HOFFMAN’S GUIDE TO DESTROYING PROGRESSIVE ZOMBIES

A quick look at the map of the United States below will show you where these zombies live because they voted for Barack Obama.  The map is a county-by-county map of a recent voting record and it can be seen that more than 51% of the zombie voters who are otherwise idiots put Obama back into power reside in these small blue areas.  That leaves the vast sum of the red counties unrepresented in American government and at the mercy of the zombies as they migrate out of the diabolical blue areas. 

Progressive zombies might look and sound like the rest of us, but they aren’t.  Much like the famous Michael Jackson video Thriller, all too often we learn too late that the progressive zombies are our own next door neighbors who have been seduced and consumed by a progressive agenda.

So follow my guide to defeating these progressive zombies by calling them out by name and letting them know that they will not suck the blood out of America without a fight.

But more than anything, do everything you can to avoid idiots, because it is the path of the low intelligence fool who first become progressive zombies.  Pay attention to current events, read books, and attend Tea Party gatherings and you can go a long way to avoiding the sinister threat of becoming another progressive zombie in an apocalypse that is threatening America.

And if you want to actually shoot some zombies, see my friends down at Shoot Extreme in West Chester.  They will set you up with some target practice.  CLICK HERE to learn more.
