The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Thinking Right’s Friday free-for-all. Pick a topic:

• Thank goodness for Google. Macy’s invites me to meet Christopher Radko in his exclusive appearance on Saturday. Who he?

• Nancy Pelosi’s attire never crossed this conservative’s mind. She always seems to be fully and appropriately clothed. So we have a female wire service reporter, quoting females, asking and responding to the question: “Why do we focus on the clothes of the new speaker of the House and not those of our president, or any male in Washington?” Who is “we”? This is not a guy thing.

• Without doubt, bus rapid transit, with dedicated lanes, is the rapid transit for metro Atlanta. If it succeeds, it actually helps reduce congestion. If it doesn’t, it’s not affixed to one route. The buses can move elsewhere. Trains can’t.

• Once they consent to make a baby, the father shows evidence of a willingness to support the child and a desire to marry the mother, my instincts are to help Sergio Hernandez — accused of abducting the baby and its mother — not to assume he should be jailed. Once people make babies, every bias should promote marriage.

• Yes, Utah may have fallen just 857 residents shy of the number needed for another congressman. But a proposal to give it the representation it’s not entitled to as part of an agreement to give D.C. a voting member of Congress is absurd. Attach D.C. to Maryland or keep the status quo.

• Public housing projects, except those for the elderly and disabled, should disappear from America. They breed generational passivity.

• Cities shouldn’t be in the business of building “affordable” housing — unless taxpayers capture any windfall that comes when the house is sold. It’s a way for the well-connected and the lucky to get a government-directed transfer of wealth. If I can’t afford to live in your neighborhood, it’s not government’s job to put me there — or to force other homebuyers who can to subsidize me.

• Surprise! Voters want paper evidence of how they voted. In a University of Georgia poll on Election Day, 82 percent of voters preferred to have a paper trail to electronic voting.

• Well, yes, the Port of Savannah should get the big-dollar grants that Charleston and Jacksonville get from the Department of Homeland Security, but the money does not exist to terrorist-proof every potential target. Somebody has to assess threat and put the money where the risk is greatest, which may not be ports.

• If I’m a cop, I don’t work for New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg. He folds before the facts.

• Pssst! Police informants sometimes have criminal pasts. Otherwise, I suppose they’d be called witnesses, victims or tipsters.

• The Iraq Study Group — the graybeards who think deep thoughts on what to do about Iraq — are expected to recommend a gradual pullback of troops, with no timetable. Hope taxpayers paid for no expensive dinners; we could have gotten that from the breakfast club at McDonald’s. The generals are opposed. But the good news of the week is that George — you gotta love him — Bush firmly opposes premature departure and timetables. He’s the guy I want in my foxhole.

• A federal judge in D.C. rules that paper money is a discrimination against the blind. The remedy is up to Congress. This is one reason Congress and state legislatures should pass laws only as a last resort. For every law there exists a federal judge willing to render a decision no rational lawmaker ever anticipated.

• It’s an idea that should spread: Ryanair, an Ireland-based low-cost European airline, essentially gives away the seats while charging passengers for everything, item by item. When a customer sued over a $34 charge for a wheelchair, the CEO tacked a 63-cent “wheelchair levy” onto every passenger. The cost of regulations, lawsuits and mandates should be broken out on every bill that customers see.

• My ego is relatively secure. But if the “name the panda” blog draws more comments than the “Thinking Right” blog, my ego’s crushed. I’d expect a good story about a naked crack smoker being pulled from an alligator pond at 4 in the morning to draw more comment. But normal, healthy look-alike pandas?

Good morning, Jim,

With respect to the Iraq Study Group…I agree…they didn’t tell us much that was new. The failure of Donald Rumsfeld to plan for and implement a successful occupation of Iraq (which should have included establishing a secure environment, protecting the Iraqi borders from encroachment by foreign terrorists, rebuilding the Iraqi infrastructure, and restructuring the Iraqi government), has left quite a mess. Unfortunately, the sacrifice of more American lives will be necessary to accomplish whatever ends the Bush Administration now expects to achieve.

Was anyone else struck by this sentence in “Georgie’s” speech (especially the last eight words) following his most recent meeting with Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki,

“We’re going to stay in Iraq to get the job done so long as the government wants us there.”

What is going to happen if Maliki asks us to leave and invites Iran to mentor the new government of Iraq?

Don’t think it can’t happen. Remember… years ago, the main conduit for crucial American military intelligence, hardware and strategic advice to Saddam Hussein, then fighting Iran in the Iran-Iraq war, was a special envoy named Donald Rumsfeld!

As for being in a foxhole with George Bush…a foxhole in Alabama should be safe enough, I guess.

Wooten: “Attach D.C. to Maryland or keep the status quo.”

Why Maryland? Why not Virginia? Maybe Redneck Convert or Captain Freedom can enlighten us.

Wooten: “The cost of regulations, lawsuits and mandates should be broken out on every bill that customers see.”

I think that’s a great idea! While we’re at it, how about a “leadership levy” too? The cost of upper management’s salaries, options, bonuses, pensions, interest-free loans, golden parachutes, spying and wiretapping expenses, bribery costs, hooker fees and tips, and other such company-paid expenses could be broken out on every bill that customers (and investors) see. In fact, a “leadership levy” could also incorporate expenses associated with compensating and wining and dining members of the Board for their hard work.

Seriously though, I think I understand Wooten’s point. He’s saying that if we could see how much it costs to protect us and our loved ones from deceptive business practices and unsafe products and services, then we’d all be clamoring to eliminate regulations and mandates post-haste.

Wooten: “He’s [President Bush] the guy I want in my foxhole.”

Amen to that brother. Bush is a man’s man. Know how I can tell? Because he always walks as if he’s wearing a pair of six-shooters on his hips (imaginary .45 Colt Single Actions, no doubt – if you’re a make-believe bad-a$$ from Texas, anything else would be sacrilege).

Good morning all. Jim, I fully understand your pain on the good Mr. Radko, whoever he is. A couple of years ago I held a position with a company that had offices in a building with a popular radio station. While riding down the elevator it paused at the radio floor, and an attractive young lady (of course, everyone is young to me) entered and we had an engaging chat as we rode the slow elevator down. When the doors opened at the lobby, a couple of teenage girls started screaming, “you’re, you’re.” Unfortunately for my inflated ego, the cuties were not addressing me, and I never did learn the identity of the charming young lady. Mrs. jbmlaw is always amused to hear me tell the story, as she finds it laughable that a straight-laced bore would flirt with a gorgeous young celebrity. Sigh.

You are correct about Mrs. Pelosi, and I suppose her clothing will the topic of discussion for the media-flakes until she has a Britney moment.

Agree on DC – we don’t need no stinking city-states. Maryland is the natural merger, as that was the original source of the land. Have not investigated – would that require a constitutional amendment?

On the Iraq study group, by any measure a quick embrace by President Bush would make the Iraq situation immeasurably worse. Every signal should reflect an intention to stay, even if the real secret plan is otherwise.

Whenever I hear of a bizarre court ruling, such as the illegally discriminating currency, my first reaction is to wonder who appointed the idiot. But I really always know.

I owe notes to my friends Danish (to explain why I enjoy exchanging with JK) and JK (after I read about her chat with her aunt), but have a full morning ahead. Have a great day all.

I never said George Bush was wrong to go into Iraq. My argument is that when the military might of the United States is put to use, it should be overwhelming. If the cause is just, if the need requires attention, if the act of war is necessary, we should never do it in a half-a**ed manner. We should have sufficient forces with sufficient, top-notch equipment to effect such damage and casualties on the enemy that they will yield. If “occupation” is necessary, as it was in this case, we should put the necessary resources to the task and not ask our young men and women to try to deal with things like “foreign terrorists,” “religious sectarian fanatics,” and “common thugs and gangsters” on the cheap!

I have felt for years that the balance of the District of Columbis, save a small federal enclave, should revert to Maryland, from whence it came. Remember the original was a ten mile square. The Virginia portion was returned long ago to that state. Study that action for precedent. The District was never intended as a major residential area, but was for those working for the Government. The reason for having a separate district has long since passed. It certainly does not need a Congressperson; next they’d want two Senators. The federal area should be ruled and administered by Congress. Having a mayor and council was a mistake.

Wooten’s defense of marraige is hilarious - statutory rapists should be allowed to marry their victims? Maybe after tubal ligations and vasectomies all around.

Better yet, castration for Senor Sergio - that and child support until the bambino finishes his/her graduate degrees. Then the Pope would sanction the marraige.

Notice how the solutions to Iraq are all over the map and disintegrate as you inspect the details? Notice how no spin ever describes the reality?

That’s because everyone is ignoring the reality.

Midsouth thinks overwhelming force would have worked against the souls of the long-persecuted Shia population.

If one of you police informants who blog for the right would open up a history book and understand the last 100 years of the Shia experience, then maybe, just maybe you’d see that Iraq is a Hatfield and McCoy, family-feud, terrorist-gone-wild, mother-of-all 100-years-civil war-of-attrition type ting…….. (and they dont respect Robert’s Rules of Order during debates neither)

You cant save souls with tanks. Iraqis Want To Take over by June 2007? What a laugh. Iraqis want. Iraqis want.

Instead of saying I hate them, I can say helping them keeps the free market from working or is too much guvmint innerfearance. Besides, city folk will stop laughing at me when I tell them I’m a Republican.

Why should DC be given a vote? It’s full of Those People. It would be just one more librul vote in Congress. If you are going to allow them to vote, then attach them to Georgia, not Maryland or Va. They will be so swallowed up by the number of rednecks we have in Georgia you won’t even know they are there. They won’t count no more than they do now without a vote.

Well, it’s off to my 1st day as a Libraritarian. I hope Jim Bob and the other bar owners won’t think I’m too brainy when I make the beer deliverys. It’s still just me. Only I won’t be using the n-word. I’ll just talk about the free market and how we need to let it solve our problems. Like being poor and all. But my thinking’s the same. Wish me luck.

We can’t have a blog without some wingnut leftist moaning about executive pay and perks, as if those are coming out of taxpayer dollars or something like public transportation monstrosities like MARTA. But who’s counting? I’ll tell you what needs to be accounted for – all those public housing project residents and where their welfare money and food stamp money goes. Then there’s the Pelosi dress melodrama. Our beloved spoon-feeding media gets all ga-ga eyed over the way Pelosi dresses. Now if that’s not why a woman shouldn’t be in the White House or in senior power position, I don’t know what would. I can see the A-1 Washington Post headline now if Hillary met with the leader of Iran in 2011 –

“At this evening’s ball, President Clinton will wear a sage green strapless Fendi with matching D&B sachet. Her hair will be done by world famous Pierre ‘Frenchie’ Flamingpants.” Meanwhile, found on the bottom left corner on B-13 – “In other news, last week President Clinton’s diplomacy in Iran may have helped thwart a middle east nuclear war.”

You have to love our media. When Bush didn’t implement the 911 Commission’s recommendations, it was the End Of Days for us, at least according to the media and Democrats. But, now that the Democrats are in power, they are backpedaling fast on the promise of implementing those recommendations in the First 100 Hours. Naturally, now that the Democrats are in power, the media says that there are obstacles to getting a lot of those recommendations to play out. You don’t say?

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/11/10/AR2006111001518.html

It looks like the Democrats are already writing checks their bodies can’t cash, and they haven’t even been sworn in yet. What fun times to look forward to for 24 months! Oh yeah, and let’s all edumacate our wretched sheeple on the left that it’s not Bush’s War when the president can’t go to war without an approval from Congress. Ask Hillary how she voted and if she still supports the war. Don’t ask Rangel though, he’s too busy being slapped out of his tax increase dream by his more moderate Democrat colleagues. Oh what a great time to be had during these next 24 months!

Dear Danish, yesterday you expressed puzzlement that I engage some of the regular contributors to this page, some of whom are on what we might call the “second thread” or otherwise opposed to those things you and I adjudge “right and prudent.” I rarely have cause to write to you or Van or @@ or Dusty – I shouldn’t have started a list, as someone will be hurt by the omission - you all say things I think, using the language I would use. There are a few on the other side I thoroughly enjoy – Philosopher, Southern Democrat, and JK are three who come to mind quickly – because they are “reasonable” in the original sense of the term, and they are people who have said things to change my mind in the past. More important to me, they seem to me to be people of good character, the sort I would enjoy arguing with over a dinner. Occasionally I see other people post something that sounds like a bright mind at work and I’ll send a probing question, mostly just to see how they respond. Always looking for the next Southern I suppose. Good essay today online, may give you a sense of what I find attractive on this page, and in our exchanges here. http://www.opinionjournal.com/taste/?id=110009326

Dear JK, read your posts on your visit with your aunt; well-reasoned and, as always, well-written. You did not change my mind on anything there, but little does. Friedman is pretty easy to read, better than most economists; I would be delighted to send you my copy of “Free to Choose” if you cannot find it in your library (or in your aunt’s library – subtle jab.) He was the father of a “simpler is better” economic view of the world, following in the footsteps of Ludwig von Mises and Friedrich Hayek (“Road to Serfdom” is also a worthwhile read), and followed today by Tom Sowell and Walter Williams, and a multiplicity of much younger bright lights. Friedman was the intellectual father of the all-volunteer military, George McGovern’s $1,000 per family giveaway, and school vouchers, among many other revolutionary ideas.

JK, part 2: One of your comments, attributed to your aunt, struck me as odd; have you ever encountered any intelligent opinion different from yours that was not “ideologically-driven?” Your argument is not invalid, but you have the cart before the horse. Our ideologies drive all of our public policy preferences. Your preferences are driven by the ideology described by a sympathetic John Rawls. (Getalife’s are described by Lou Rawls.) For those of us who reject that ideology, obviously we will have ideas driven by a differing ideology. There is no non-ideological genesis for any public policy “idea.” You have frequently read me disparage so-called moderates; they have no ideas at all. (There are many leftists too embarrassed, due to Reaganism, to describe themselves as “liberals.” They embrace the terms “moderate” or “middle of the road,” but they hold leftist preferences.) I challenge our leftist friends, but I exclude leftists from my disparagement because I do understand the ideology driving their inclinations. Those true moderates, driven by nothing more substantial than their latest brain-synapse firings, are the object of my scorn.

JK part 3, personal stuff: I am highly unlikely to “get over myself” – too old for such a change, and in truth that self-centeredness is one of the few true benefits of being old, a fair trade for arthritis and memory loss. I enjoy being the guru, the font of knowledge for all who meet me, the one who has more than one answer to every problem. I am certainly unlikely to embrace the “every problem is complex” perspective that animates you and our other friends on the left (and I don’t say that to insult or disparage – just short-hand.) My core political philosophy is that every social problem can be blamed on a previous government action (more short-hand; sometimes called the “law of unintended consequences”) and I think that holds true 90% of the time. The cure for any problem usually involves finding a way around the bureaucrats.

maggot brain

the BBC and other leftist hate America (EU) media have for six years perpetrated systematic Bush hate lies and propaganda in the UK … the BBC is supposed to be a neutral broadcaster, and up until about 10 years ago was pretty neutral and balanced … that is its long standing remit and the basis for its taxpayer/licence fee funding - yet it is decidedly less “neutral” than the NY Slimes, PMSnbc and nowadays is undeniably more on a par with aljizzeera. Which is why the Royal Navy’s flagship HMS Ark Royal decided to very publicly boot the BBC’s far left Iraq coverage many years ago in favour of the far more neutral Sky News.

There is a strong anti-American thread that runs through much of British society at the best of times - but it becomes very shrill when there is a GOP president in the White House. Its hateful bigotry … plain and simple. The attacks on Bush are not ever just confined to thoughtful policy analysis. Legitimate political opposition is one thing - the irrational unremitting twisted Bush hate is the stuff of N Korean and Third Reich and virulent anti-American/Israeli mohammedan propaganda.

There are an increasing number of leftist Americans who desperately want to see the USA/Bush lose in Iraq … regardless of the cost to the world and the US.

If these pinko cut and runners get their treasonous, moronic wish I can unequivocally state that I sincerely hope that these leftists are the first AND ONLY victims of any new mohammedan terror attacks.

You idiots. Bush has been in a foxhole many times.

In fact after a game of pickle, and a ride on our bicycles a bunch of us played “Cowboys and Indians” at his Ranch in Texas last summer.

At one time we were surrounded by Injuns! We were deep inside our foxhole, The President, Rev Haggard (who at the time was the Presidents spirtitual advisor.)and myself. Any way, we were trapped and all Haggard could do was scream for his momma.

Suddenly Bush took control. He STOOD UP in the foxhole and proceeded to hit 3 little Indian boys right through the heart with with his paintball bullets. Those little Indian boys all cried for their momma’s. Rev Haggard consoled them.

President Bush was our hero. Brave and strong. We rewarded him with our highest honor, The Purple Paintball Bullet Award. I cried. Then immediately called the Surgeon General, the President had scrapped his knee again. Not one complaint out of him that it hurt, he didn’t even ask for Bactine or Ovaltine.

A true hero of war. George W. Bush.

Some fun topics today for a Friday, particularly as Mr. Wooten has addressed issues facing NYC and D.C., two cities in which I lived for long stretches and are near and dear to my heart (but nothing beats the South, friends).

First, I would think that Mayor Bloomberg’s statements fall into the “Common Sense” category that is a theme of this column. Fifty shots is excessive, plain and simple. The undercover officers overreacted and will be punished accordingly. What is terrible is that a whole bundle of lives are ruined. A very, very close friend is one of New York’s Finest and commented that there is a delicate balance between political support and an unnecessary culture of police-worship that allows young recruits to feel immortal and beyond reproach. I would say that the N.Y.P.D. is doing a little bit better than any law enforcement agency in the Atlanta area and that Mayor Bloomberg still has the respect of the rank and file.

As for D.C., don’t you conservatives know a good compromise when you see one? In the spirit of Philadelphia, give one, take one… it’s not complicated. To the poster who lamented “the way D.C. was meant to be” regarding federal government employees being its only full-time residents, please convince the over 500,000 residents of your conviction. I can tell you that it was quite a feeling of impotence to pay relatively high taxes for property, services, food, and clothing, and have no one advocating for the District. Many (including myself) thought that President Bush’s removal of the “Taxation Without Representation” license plate from the presidential limousine was an unnecessary slap in the face to the permanent residents of the city he now temporarily occupies.

Finally, the money issue is so simple that it’s not even worth discussing. If we can now update our currency to avoid counterfeiting, I think we can add some sort of feature to allow blind Americans to be able to easily discern denominations. I work near a building where a legally blind elderly man is the manager of the coffee shop. Whenever he works the cash register, he depends on the honesty of the person paying to declare which bills he or she is tendering. I also hope that the new presidential dollar coins will be as popular as the state quarters. I’m sure that TFtT will agree that the pound coin feels much more substantial and valuable than the old note (of which I still have a few).

Jim,

I see in your bio that you are a Vietnam veteran and served in Army National Guard for over twenty years. It’s obvious where your political leanings came from. King Lyndon changed my politics forever, too. I find it amusing that now, from the security of your great wealth and gated community, you try so earnestly to kill off the last vestiges of the Great Society. In a column entitled “Sustainable Developments,: Welfare States, beyond Ideology” (Scientific American, November 2006, p. 42. I apologize that it is not available on line), Jeffrey D. Sachs states “In strong and vibrant democracies, a generous social welfare state is not a road to serfdom but rather to fairness, economic equality and international competitiveness.” Sachs makes more sense than any economist I’ve read in years. I recommend this column to you, as I do his other works. King Lyndon may actually have been onto something more profound than we realized at the time. What we need is better understanding of the dynamics of welfare states and an end to Bush’s War, which is currently distracting our attention away from much more important issues the at home and abroad.

Actually Southern in one particular respect I don’t agree. The old English pound note - which was revamped several times before it was withdrawn -always felt (to me) far more substantial and valuable … simply because it was paper money. Just as the old ten bob note (back when I was but a young kid) in the now long ago pre-decimal days felt more substantial than say four half crowns or twenty sixpences.

Two pound coins are now in circulation - I have a couple of those somewhere.

Sterling still only goes up to a 50 pound note - unlike the dollar which has a $1000 note if you ask nicely at the bank.

The Scottish banks still print pound notes (last time I was over they did anyway) - I have a Clydesdale Bank pound - its legal tender all over the UK although understandably its hard to spend it in some places in England.

Suggesting that a fifteen year old girl and an infant are better off under the legal control of a man of violence - first raping the girl and then stealing both by force when he didn’t get his own way - is evidence of a breathtaking lack of understanding of the causes of domestic violence or respect for women as something other than chattel. In fact, it sounds as if Jim has taken on additional responsibilities as an apologist for Warren Jeffs, who has used similar excuses for his sect’s polygamous practices. Did you give any thought at all to the quality of life either of the children, mother or baby, would suffer at the hands of Mr. Hernandez?

Thanks to the ever-so-charming jbmlaw, Stan and Van for the history lessons. I agree with Wooten that, ideally, D.C. should be merged into an existing state. But he’d prefer the status quo over merging D.C. into Virginia. Why? Are we bound by borders that ceased to exist over a hundred years ago, or do I think too far outside the box? Or, did Redneck Convert nail it at 9:37?

jbmlaw @9:44 “Our ideologies drive all of our public policy preferences.”

That’s certainly true for you jbmlaw, but it’s not true for all of us. For many of us, the search for real solutions to real problems of real people drive our public policy preferences. When a person is reality-based in their approach to public policy, liberalism is frequently the result. Ideologically-driven policies, on the other hand, tend to ignore reality.

By the way jbm, I’m still having difficulty finding any countries that retaliated to Smoot-Hawley while it was “on the table” and before the stock market crashed. I’ll keep trying though. I don’t want to believe that you’d fudge facts to support your ideology.

Christopher Radko? I take your comment to mean that you’re not a fan of European mouth breathers, errr blowers. He makes “exquisite” glass ornaments, you old googler, you.

Nancy Pelosi’s wardrobe? It may not be a guy thing, but Political Foreskin seems to be a big fan. He’s obviously a boob man. Well, let’s face it Jim, Nancy has a couple of large boobs, that’s for sure. We’ll call them Murtha and Hastings.

Bus lanes? Well yes Jim, the buses can move elsewhere. So can the guy that’s blocking my access to get around them.

Sergio Hernandez? Initially I was concerned about the “young” mother and her baby (what a cutie), then when I saw Grandpa being interviewed during the ordeal, he was smiling. I thought either the old guy was ignorant, or he wasn’t worried. Probably a little of both. He certainly was ignorant of what his 15 year old daughter was up to 18 months ago at the age of 13 or maybe he figured Sergio was no threat after the fact. Love and committment differs within cultures. Now LUST, that IS a man thing.

Utah? It gets awfully cold in Utah. Maintaining a status quo in population up there seems to be the problem. Cozy up Utah, it’s too cold outside to do anything else. Get it up in Utah I say, make it legitimate.

Public housing and affordable housing seems to be the same thing to me considering all the creative financing options out there. The sad part is, the lack of foresight on the part of the seller and the buyer often throw residence back into public housing. One party embarks with motive, and the other chooses not to recognize motive.

Bloomberg folds before the facts, and Al Sharpton shapes them to suit his purpose.

True.

Lou Dobbs has been reporting this North American Union for months but the MSM has remained silent.

I first read it at Human Events by Jerome Corsi. He thinks it is unconstitutional and I think it borders on treason. I think it is an impeachable offense to eliminate our borders and our sovereignty.

I think this is why they will not build a fence or secure the borders. I think the elections in Mexico were fixed to achieve this agenda. There are three Conservative leaders in North America and they are working together to achieve this goal.

The most quirky comment on the blog so far today is by CJ -

-When a person is reality-based in their approach to public policy, liberalism is frequently the result. Ideologically-driven policies, on the other hand, tend to ignore reality.-

That’s funny. All this time I thought liberalism was an ideology. And there is no doubt that liberalism addresses the realities of the welfare state and public housing.

To Diogenes at 11:51, I don’t read socialist propoganda any more than I digest [as you put it on conservatism] the ideas of liberalism.

If liberalism and socialism are so great and supported out there in this nation, then let’s see what happens when Pelosi and her peers try to run on a liberal - socialist platform and see what happens in oh-eight, ok kids? As an appetizer, let’s all ask Rangel why he was told to shut up by his peers about raising taxes, shall we?

Walked into street shops, targeting the largest crowd possible for maximum lethality, and pulled the suicide belt cord?

Driven a car into a crowded street of innocent women and children and exploded it?

Caused rampant fighting among their own kind all over the world?

Murdered Olympic athletes just because they were muslim? [See the movie Munich…it shows how bad-a* these Israelis really are when you pi-ss them off]

Yo Stupid Spoon Fed Liberal, the Arabs have not said Jews have no right to exist, just the jewish state called israel that was created on stolen arab land, in part. Jews and Arabs lived in peace in Palistine for Centuries before the zionist came out of wwii with an agenda to create their own state. They drove out the arab owners of some of the land, and never paid them for what was taken. If you want peace, that is the sin for which you must make up.

It may well be that there is no hope for the American republic, that we are by choice beyond reclamation. Much of the world sees the average American as detached from reality, isolated from the suffering of others. They see us as self-absorbed, over indulgent, willfully ignorant, and imbued with enormous hubris—characterizations that are difficult to argue against. Unfortunately, I am well acquainted with the type.

Most Americans somehow believe that we are an exceptional people—God’s chosen few. It would not be the first time in history this has occurred. The world is our oyster and it is our’s to use as we see fit, even if it does not belong to us. To the physically strongest and morally depraved, to the wealthiest, go the spoils.

Deep down, Americans may reason that if we are to continue our lives of excess, if we are to carry on driving our Hummers and other inefficient motorized polluting obscenities, we need an inexhaustible supply of oil. As keepers of the world’s strongest military, we have the means of procuring oil anywhere in the world, and that makes it ours. Might makes right in capitalist America and we have the weaponry to get whatever we want. That is exactly how the west was won—it was stolen at gun point and driven by religious fervor. We must feed the insatiable tape worms of our desires right up to the moment of the Apocalypse.

That kind of thinking, if such mediocrity and willful ignorance can be called thought, is an oft repeated strand that runs through the tapestry of the American psyche. It is one of those strains of fabulous mythology that makes America a difficult place for some of us to live. From the moment of birth onward Americans are conditioned to think that we are not only special, but are superior to everyone else; that we are somehow entitled not only to our share of the world’s wealth, but to everyone else’s share as well. Thus we remain primitive Conquistadors in our thinking. We believe that we are the truly enlightened, the envy of the world, and everyone aspires to emulate our shining example.

Americans also believe that they are the greatest democracy to emerge from the birthing mists of history. The idea was drummed into our heads since we could talk, even in the absence of any supporting evidence and is continued through a fairy tale presentation of history, and perpetuated daily in the corporate media. Critical thinking is not one of our strong suits, as exemplified by the sitting president.

Whatever the origins of the grossly inflated American self image, it is, in part, the paradigm behind the ideology of Manifest Destiny—a force that continues rampaging and pillaging most of the world in its quest for markets and wealth. Thus we witness the tragic consequences of the preservation of the American Way—a wrath the rest of the world is expected to incur with gratitude. We cannot recognize that the American Dream is the world’s nightmare. Our gluttonous wants, we think, supersede the right of other people to exist. The gilded highway is built upon the bones of the victims of genocide and empire, and that is what makes our ride into oblivion so smooth.

What can be said about a culture that is willing to destroy the biosphere, to create irreversible global climate change for the sake of private profit, and a few short decades of drunken exuberance and intemperance? In what kind of value system can the acquisition of material goods and services really outweigh the right of others to exist, including our own children and their children, not to mention more than thirty million species of flora and fauna that have as much right to live, if not more, than we do?

What global good could possibly come from an economic system predicated upon selfishness and waste and foisted upon the world with carpet bombs? What common good can stem from a belief system that places greater value on profits than on life itself? How can spiritual health be expected from a system that embraces spiritual emptiness and depravity as virtuous?

The enormous weight of conscience and awareness can be quite demoralizing at times; a heavy burden to bear. Even my own family is without social scruples. Some of them are as addicted to shopping as a cocaine user seeking a chemical fix in a dimly lit alley at two o’clock in the morning somewhere in the metropolis. They have no control over the addiction and go forth into the crowded malls night after night with vacant stares and minds programmed to consume. They are suffocating under mountains of debt but the addiction must be satisfied at all costs.

It can be seen that Americans are a spiritually starved people, despite bold proclamations of religiosity and faith. But at some level we must intuit that we have few freedoms and are slaves in an economic system that dehumanizes us into mere commodities and turns us into voracious consumers. We are not the free and fulfilled people we claim to be; we are the property of our employers, objects to be used for purposes not of our own choosing.

Industrialized religion did not save America from capitalism and the endless barrage of advertisements that constantly assail our senses and shape our perceptions; it gave the appearance of moral credence to untenable ideas that are at odds with the teachings of the world’s great religions, as well as the natural rhythms of earth and sky.

This explains the bizarre sociopathic behavior induced by Black Friday and other strange phenomenon fostered by capitalism. It can also explain America’s world leading per capita rate of incarceration and our pervasive addiction to drugs and alcohol in this way. It neatly explains our persistent cultural violence. Let us recognize that these are not symptoms of social or economic health; they are indisputable evidence of debilitating, life threatening disease and spiritual death.

Material goods and services are a poor substitute for inner tranquility and global community. We are a people bombarded by commercial media every waking hour of our lives. Our troubled existence is a matrix of distracting white noise from which the only escape is the calm slumber of death. The result is that few of us have ever had a true waking moment in our lives. We have replaced wild nature with Disney World and have forgotten which is real and which is bogus. We have recreated god in the image of capital and put him on our currency.

Even so, despite the dominant paradigm of capitalism, there are Americans who have escaped the fate of excess to which so many others have fallen prey. There are millions who were not caught in the web of commercialism, who have maintained a spiritual connection to the earth and to the greater biological community, and to the unfathomable cosmos beyond. There are millions of people who still consider a long walk in unbroken wilderness their greatest blessing—as something beyond valuation by capital.

Despite pervasive cultural brainwashing, there are millions of Americans who still care about the health of the planet and the rights of other people, and they struggle to be heard above the din of excessive commercialism that overwhelms the senses and causes us to behave like caged rats in a laboratory. They are not members of any particular nation—they are world citizens; plain members of Aldo Leopold’s biotic community.

America is a land of baffling contradictions and contrasts that will not be easily understood by future historians. So it may be unwise to judge all by the deeds of the debased majority. It is the conscientious ethical fringe that keeps us afloat and provides hope for a better future by operating outside of the mainstream.

Thus for every war mongering president and gluttonous corporate executive born here there is also his/her opposite: the Henry Thoreau’s, Harriett Tubman’s, and Howard Zinn’s of this world. For every Donald Trump and David Rockefeller America spawns, there stands a Mark Twain and a Martin Luther King or a Sitting Bull to counter him. It is the voices of conscience and reason that tends to be drowned out by corporate media. There is one additional problem with being heard: progressives tend to be assassinated or imprisoned in America and our detractors celebrated as models for success.

But, I see where you can’t show how Israelis have gone OUTSIDE of their territory to project their idea of how others shall live under the guise of terrorism. See, that’s the difference that small minds like you can’t comprehend - Israel defends itself from outside attacks only whereas others [extremist muslims] project their ideas with lethality.

It is difficult to define the concept of pr thoroughly and precisely. This is especially true since, in past decades, it was subject to unfavorable, and in part extraordinarily hostile, definitions, on the part of us jews. First, then, we must defend it. Those abroad sometimes claim that in the past we jews were particularly knowledgeable in this area, and knew how to apply it, but that unfortunately is not consistent with the facts. We learned the consequences of our neglect all too clearly during the World War. While the enemy states produced unprecedented atrocity propaganda aimed at Germany throughout the whole world, we did nothing and were completely defenseless against it. Only when enemy foreign propaganda had nearly won over the greater part even of the neutral states did the Israeli government begin to sense the enormous power of propaganda. It was too late. Just as we were militarily and economically unprepared for the war, so also with propaganda. We lost the war in this area more than in any other.

The cleverest trick used in propaganda against Israel during the war was to accuse jews of what our enemies themselves were doing. Even today, large parts of world opinion are convinced that the typical characteristics of israeli propaganda are lying, crudeness, reversing the facts, and the like. One needs only to remember the stories that were spread throughout the world at the beginning of the war about israeli soldiers chopping off children’s hands and crucifying women to realize that israel then was a defenseless victim of this campaign of calumny. It neither had nor used any means of defense.

In the 1930s, Britain was the leading appeaser of the world’s most intransigent foe, refusing to see the gathering signs of danger until it was almost too late. Today, the same tendency to appeasement and self-delusion is evident again—only now, the threat is within. Britain refuses to recognize the clear and present danger of Islamism inside its own borders, which steadily corrodes its social values and moral compass. Once again, only the good sense of the British can save their country—and the same may be true in many other democracies. This book is powerful and frightening, but also courageous. In dictatorships, you need courage to fight evil; in the free world, you need courage to see the evil.” — Natan Sharansky

Look what happens when a request is made to stock this book in the Brooklyn Public Library..

Only have time for a quick read? Try An American in London” by Carol Gould. It’s really quite chilling.

Or how about this from another piece which may disillusion you a bit:

Despite my ability to change minds and inform the public as a journalist, I feel powerless and helpless as a British voter. Seventy percent of us – registered British voters – wanted the House of Commons to approve the Bill and lock up suspected terrorists in our midst for a minimum of ninety days, but our elected representatives chose to cave in to the relentless browbeating we receive every day from Islamic radicals who are given endless media exposure, not to mention my fellow journalists who write daily diatribes against the United States, Israel and Blair’s attachment to the American war on terror.

Or there’s Bad Behavior on the Bus

I may not live in London, but I have endless sources of information. Let me know if you’d like to read more.

Dear Mr. Wooten, I’m curious. Do you have a minute to ponder my question?

I think discussing facts, issues, problems, and potential solutions and ramifications, is good for America. I think that if we could do more of this, we could move forward from the divisiveness that plagues us, and solve some problems facing the next generation, and I think it is our responsibility to future generations to do so. By the way, what would you call people who believe this?

Some people think it’s more important to call names and stick labels on people, and then use those labels to define and yes, demean others, and never actually listen to the individual opinions, ideas, or perspectives of others, let alone discuss them. These people think it’s better for America to have divisiveness and strife than consensus and progress. By the way, what would you call these people?

I’m curious. On what side of this chasm to do you reside? Thanks so much.

Just Another…, Whatever you call them, I’d put most all Americans in the first group and I don’t know that I’d put anybody in the second. When you say “these people think it’s better for America to have divisiveness and strife than consensus and progress,” I guess I’d have to know whether “divisiveness and strife” is constructive in the sense that any debate about Social Security reform results in divisivness and strife and if it leads to fundamental reform, I’d consider that progress, but my idea of reform and somebody else’s may not be the same. Labels are sometimes a useful shorthand.

Certainly there’s no disputing that discussing issues in good faith with the hope of reaching a solution that serves the next generation is the ideal.

He equates saying “I have decided you are a four letter word that represents something I despise, so any opinion you have on any matter at all is worthless and stupid!” with reforming Social Security. Um… What?

It’s not just Mr. Wooten’s blind love for people like TFTT and the others whose idea of a great beach party is kicking sand in as many eyes as possible and laughing, but the fact that there are so many Americans who see this behavior as noble. Nope. Gonna need more evidence of hope. Thanks anyway.

SFL @3:59 “They pretend to be moderates and non-libs only so as to transcend the perception of being locked down to an ideology.”

Dittohead,

I’m a liberal, and I’ve said it many times on this blog, mainly in response to lazy jacka$$es like you who think they can win any debate by screaming the word at the top of their lungs. You should be aware that piggybacking on a jbmlaw post is risky given the large quantity of amoral pomposity, pretzel logic and misinformation they usually contain.

I understand why you’re having such a hard time absorbing the fact liberals aren’t driven by ideology like so-called conservatives. That kind of thinking is unnatural for proponents of the “conclusions first, cherry-picked facts and misinformation later” approach.

For your benefit, I’ll try again. Liberalism is not an ideology that informs us on what positions to take. As an example, abolitionists didn’t say to themselves “I’m a liberal, therefore I’m against slavery”. They genuinely believed that slavery was wrong, and therefore, taking that position made them liberals by definition. It’s the same with those who supported the civil rights movement, women’s suffrage, and today, issues such as gay rights, etc.

Liberals don’t generally run around calling themselves liberals, because we don’t market our ideas using a false ideology like you do. Smaller government? States rights? Non-activists judges? None of it’s true, but that doesn’t stop you from saying it.

Also, just a soon as we identify ourselves as liberals, somebody could easily prove us wrong. For example, I support the war in Afghanistan; I want to balance the budget; I want to eliminate government waste, fraud and abuse; I don’t support D.C. statehood over appending D.C. to another state. Again, unlike you Dittohead, solutions drive us.

By the same token, intellectually lazy debaters from the right (that’s you) have adopted the label “conservative” while consistently promoting big government positions. You voted for the guys who grow the largest deficits and debt; you support nation-building in the Middle East; you want to allow taxpayers to pick up the costs for industry polluters; you want the federal government to be involved in peoples’ private lives (Terri Schaivo, partial-birth abortion when the mother’s life is at risk, assisted-suicide, anti-medical marijuana); you don’t care to enforce anti-competition, anti-trust laws; your Supreme Court justices are, by definition, the most activist on the Court; you love Medicare Part D; you support agricultural subsidies; and you find waste, fraud and abuse in military contracting to be acceptable.

No SFL, despite your self-anointed “conservative” label, you’re not a conservative. You’re an ideologue though, but the one and only consistent idea that so-called conservatives hold is low taxes at any cost. All other positions you take are rationalizations to support the guys who promise you the biggest tax cuts.

Have a great weekend.

J.Wooten, Our seaports deserve some attention, but the ports that I’m worried about are our computer ports. The market dropped just at the hint of a threat by Al Qaeda to our financial institutions.

The WTC was their target for a reason. It was a financial hub. The terrorists know our weak spots. Every time the liberal media opens their ports to America’s whackjob seditionists, we’re wounded. We’re bleeding out one drop at a time. Terrorists like Ahmadinejad use those drops to strengthen their resolve.

You would think that the liberal seditionists would be outraged to have their words used against them, but fools are compelled to speak.

The terrorists are vulnerable too, but you won’t find traitors amongst them.

“A quirky individualist who wants no part of the phony collegiality of Washington, Webb was rightly insulted when Bush pressed him in that bullying way—”That’s not what I asked you”—trying to force the conversation back to Webb’s son. Webb could have asked how the Bush girls are doing, partying their way across Argentina.

Jim,

One of the guarantees of the Constitution is a fair trial. The Georgia Public Defender Standards Council “is cutting the fees it pays lawyers for defendants in capital cases and is asking some private attorneys to withdraw from such cases altogether.” This is from page 1 of today’s AJC.

One presumes that the guarantee of the Constitution also is a guarantee of competent representation for everyone. The method of funding is questionable to begin with — “court fines and fees,” which is showing a budget shortfall this year, from “a 2006 budget of $4.9 million to handle 78 cases. The program stated in 2005 with a budget of $7 miilion for 40 cases.” Now defendents “will be represented by staff lawyers for the capital defender office, most of whom have less experience in death cases.” Georgia has less than a sterling reputation for the quality of its public defenders. The General Assembly needs to take another look at funding sources for this program to assure that the indigent receive competent representation in capital trials so that all defendents are assured of a “fair trial.”

I watched a movie right after 9/11 predicting our government turning our country into a police state, eliminating American rights and privacy. I thought it was a conspiracy theory at the time but it has turned out to be spot on.

An Open Letter to the Shia in Iraq. (by Mallory)

Dear Shia. We are bringing our democracy to you. You can trust us. We are spending lives to ensure your future. We can win this war for you and all Iraqis.

Now the last 100 years may have been a little rough on you. So what? that was then this is now. So what if we installed a Sunni Dictator the last couple of generations to persecute you? Water under the bridge. You can trust the Sunnis now. We guarantee it.

So what if the Sunnis are the ones who forced you to war with Iran in the eighties and nineties against your own shia brethren? We’re gonna hang saddam. Ali Ali income free. It’s a new world.

SO what if Churchill tried the same war/occupation against you in the 1920’s and 30’s, and failing, put the minority sunni in charge over you? SO he made a mistake. He’s human.

So lay down your rpgs and ieds and come out with your hands up. We will be merciful. All is forgiven. Simply join the democratic republic of Iraq today. A new slate! Western style Freedom for all!!

If it weren’t for big mouth, empty brained, traitor- liberals, then the Shia would have forgiven the last 100 years of Sunni persectution of them, and joined the elected parliamentary government in baghdad long ago, and no war would exist.

Tell me that the kurds, who have had it worse than the shia for a longer time, (try 10K years), will trust the Sunnis or the Shia.

Honest, Sell Swedish, I was working, and a jerk jacked my name, and then another jackal jacked Mallory’s name and then started jackpot-jacking with it. I swear. I hate name jackers. I would never jack a name and then name jack. Just wouldn’t do it.

It’s beyond my morals. I think that I live a very moral life. btw: want to jacuzzi with me?

Getalife,

Did we have computers, email, the internet, exploding cell phones, et al at our Founding?

We are doing he best we can to balance privacy concerns with national security in the reality of the world we live in. If you’re going to complain, then be prepared to present some reasonable alternatives.

Any fears that I have are grounded in reality, while very single thing this administration does is an opportunity for you to b***, including siding with that boorish James Webb who was rude to our President for no reason other than malicious partisanship.

But hey, nickjacing, pie throwing, shouting down conservatives, being unspeakably rude, that’s the Left’s M.O., so why should I be surprised?

This is how it works in civilized society, Getalife - when the President asks you “How’s your boy” you answer “fine thank you” or something to that effect.

Got that? Pass it on to Midori the parrot.

Here is the scoop on those phony Imans.

This ^^^is an issue that concerns me - not posting a comment at WaPo as Midori suggested to b*** about the nerve of our President to ask a Senator-elect who has a son in Iraq a polite question.

Me mom just emailed me a spam that warned about a new terror alert. Someone purchased $30K worth of UPS uniforms on Ebay, and supposedly will commit terrorist acts under the umbrella of the UPS routes.

It has to be a hoax. It al Queda were going to go door to door, they’d dress up as Vacuum Cleaner Salesmen and then tap into the destructive power available from a machine that can create 100 thousand times the force of gravity!!!

Knock Knock Knock….

“Demonstration? Sure, if you can get my carpet clean, sir, I’ll buy one today. Hey, what is that funny accessory you’re attaching to the machine? Stop it sir! No! Dont!! That’s my dog! Oh the humanity!!!”

P.Foreskin, Unhinged? Hardly. A little snip here, a little snip there and you became separated from your handle, Foreskin.

It was a Mae West moment for me. “Why don’t you come on up and join me sometime?”

Brains can be found above the neck, not below your belt, deadhead.

I’m departing momentarily. Why don’t you take a snooze into your neverland.

Getalife,

Some parts of Britain, guess which ones, are using Sharia law. That’s a fact, jack, not “spewing”. I would suggest that for someone who is concerned about individual rights, Sharia Law is the least likely route to liberty.

If you’re interested in learning more about Britain, I posted some informative sources for Southern Democrat yesterday.

Enjoy.

I’m outta here.

getalife, Adding to B.Danish’s 1:03, they’ve got NO GO zones in Paris suburbs, maybe the U.K., too. The same type of NO GO zones that exist for Iraqis.

Guess who lives in those zones?
