Don't b.s. me, bro

I'm not as dumb as I look, you know. In deference to my finely-tuned bullshit detector, opinions are expressed, arguments are made, bullshit is called out.

“In “Atlas Shrugged” Rand set out to prove that self-interest is vital to mankind. This, of course, is the whole point of free-market classical liberalism and has been since Adam Smith invented free-market classical liberalism by proving the same point.”

“

I was in Michelle’s dorm and I TRIED over and over to ‘befriend’ her. She’d never reply to my “Hellos” in the halls and stairways. Finally one day in the bathroom I asked her Why. She replied, “You’re white and I’m black and we will NEVER be friends.” Oh yeah, she’s not an angry black woman who got into to PU because she’s black, is she? I wonder which harder working, higher scoring, more deserving and friendly white kid did not get in because she did? And then Michelle went on to attend a Black Supremacist church for 20 years spewing violent Black liberation-domination theology.

Note her thesis was all about PU black alumni and racist issues always at the top of her mind. She had no interest in integrating … and still doesn’t.

So the First Lady is a racist and a hater? Huh.

Shocking, that.

“This is the mistake most people make - they believe that Obama doesn’t get it. He does get it. He’s made it abundantly clear that he has no interest in the Constitution and free market principles.”

via Life 2.0: Germany gets it; Obama does not

This is becoming clearer and clearer all the time: Obama is just another part of the progressive Left that actively and tirelessly works to undermine America culturally and economically, because they don’t believe in any of the shared assumptions that other Americans take for granted.

And Obama has made no secret of his disdain, saying so on multiple occasions, in his speeches, and in his policies. 

A different situation entirely than someone who doesn’t “get it”.

So the question now is, how do you stop a president that doesn’t love, admire, or even respect the country he is president of, and who seeks to change it in unpopular ways?

Oh, and by the way, congratulations Obama voters! Well played! You guys rrrock!

“Using standard statistical analyses that introduce variables to control for business-cycle fluctuations, wars and inflation, we found that over the entire post World War II era through 2009 each dollar of new tax revenue was associated with $1.17 of new spending. Politicians spend the money as fast as it comes in—and a little bit more. …”
