Government of Sociopaths

Government of Sociopaths: "The real subject of this is not Medicare or the Stimulus plan—it’s long term thinking.

We did not suddenly go to sleep and then wake up the next day with a political class that acted this way. Or with CEO’s that act this way. The erosion of long term thinking is progressive. It begins slowly before becoming pervasive.

Lack of long term thinking manifests itself as a lack of responsibility. The difference is not in intelligence. Very intelligent people show no grasp of responsibility and no understanding of consequences. ‘Stupid’ behavior by intelligent people is often a symptom of that. Sociopaths, who often have very high IQ’s, yet a poor understanding of consequences, are at the farthest limit of that category.

What explains this behavior? Socialization and empathy. Sociopaths are often quite bright, but it is the company of other people that makes us fully human. Sociopaths are too detached from other people to be able to rationally calculate long term consequences in a social context. They"

Scary American Stats

Scary American Stats: "Rasmussen Reports maintains a daily presidential tracking poll and, as of Sunday, July 10, President Obama’s Approval Index rating was minus-19. If he wasn’t such a narcissist this might bother him, but one gets the impression he is so convinced of his ability to lie his way out of any situation, that he will continue his present trajectory.

The kabuki dance regarding the negotiations over raising the debt ceiling limit provides a useful insight to the workings of Washington, D.C., and the principles—or lack of them—that drive the Republican and Democratic parties."

A Disparity in Power is Not a Disparity in Morals

A Disparity in Power is Not a Disparity in Morals: "A disparity in power is not a disparity in morals. This truth is the dynamite under the edifice of the left which insists that the poor are more moral than the rich and that a nation’s moral worth can be measured in inverse proportion to its per capita income. The debate is not merely one of wealth. It is less about the morality of wealth, than about the moral cost of assuming that to be poor or deprived is to be good.

Deprivation is not morality. That is why the class and racial divisions of the left are sociological and cultural, but not moral."

Who Controls the Price of Oil?

Who Controls the Price of Oil?: "Liberals believe that supplies should be rationed through deliberate higher prices in order to protect the planet from unnecessary pollution. They are not concerned that it would stifle economic growth. Their main concern is how it would affect the re-election of Obama. To prevent a re-election loss, Democrats want to release more strategic reserves into the market in order to keep the gas price lower at the pump and thus please the voters."

O'Bummer: The Tax Scam Faileth

O'Bummer: The Tax Scam Faileth: "Obama’s into big stuff, says chief of staff Bill Daley on ABC’s This Week.

'I do firmly believe that one of the wet blankets on this economy and on companies, on the system right now is a question as to whether or not our political system, whether the leaders can get together, whether they can solve big problems,' Daley said.

So let’s define the “big, wet blanket problem” in which Obama and his Chicago friends now find themselves:"

What ‘constitutional conservatism’ means to me [Michele Bachmann]

What ‘constitutional conservatism’ means to me [Michele Bachmann]: "I am a constitutional conservative. So what does that mean? I’ve earned a couple of law degrees, but defining “constitutional conservatism” shouldn’t require a legal scholar. Let me start by pointing out that the conservative movement, as Ronald Reagan believed, is a three-legged stool. One leg consists of peace-through-strength conservatives, another of fiscal and economic conservatives, and the third of social conservatives — the values voters.

Constitutional conservatism includes all three of those legs. My candidacy is based on the unity of the conservative movement — because each leg of the stool is vital.

I believe our founders knew what they were doing when they designed a limited government with specific, enumerated powers. I’m also convinced that many of our problems result from the federal government’s insatiable — and unconstitutional — grab for power and money. On issues ranging from light bulbs to bailouts, to the Dodd-Frank banking legislation, Washington has been on a destructive spree of bureaucratic empire-building. It’s time for that to stop.

Moreover, I believe in"

Barack Obama: The affirmative action president

Barack Obama: The affirmative action president: "Barack Obama is now officially the affirmative action president.

This is where the perpetually outraged left begins hyperventilating, followed by uncontrollable screams of 'racism.' Water is wet, Hezbollah blows stuff up, and leftists throw utterly boring race-baiting temper tantrums.

Speaking of uninteresting, our leader is now an affirmative action project gone bad. This may have negative ramifications for future black Americans, which would be wrong.

ATF’s Fast and Furious Seems Colored With Shades of Iran/Contra Scandal (Here come the CIA Spooks)

ATF’s Fast and Furious Seems Colored With Shades of Iran/Contra Scandal (Here come the CIA Spooks): "The acting head of ATF (the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives) has seemingly blown the cover of both DEA and FBI informant operations in order to spare his own neck and to deflect blame away from a badly flawed operation undertaken by his own agency.

In doing so, ATF Acting Director Kenneth Melson has also left open the door to the house of mirrors that always comes into play when U.S. interests intersect with foreign affairs.

America has seemingly forgotten what made her a beacon to the world. We downplay this bold experiment in favor of overblown tales of oppression. In the revision, America wasn’t unique because of its unprecedented liberty and resultant prosperity. According to cultural elitists, America was singularly vile for exploiting workers, enslaving blacks, robbing Indians and oppressing women.

China: U.S. Spends Too Much on Military

China: U.S. Spends Too Much on Military: "BEIJING – The United States is spending too much on its military in light of its recent economic troubles, China's top general said Monday while playing down his country's own military capabilities.

The chief of the General Staff of the People's Liberation Army, Chen Bingde, told reporters that he thought the U.S. should cut back on defense spending for the sake of its taxpayers. He was speaking during a joint news conference in which he traded barbs with visiting U.S. counterpart Adm. Mike Mullen.

'I know the U.S. is still recovering from the financial crisis,' Chen said. 'Under such circumstances, it is still spending a lot of money on its military and isn't that placing too much pressure on the taxpayers?'

'If the U.S. could reduce its military spending a bit and spend more on improving the livelihood of the American people ... wouldn't that be a better scenario?' he said.

'For the Good of the Party' by William Norman Grigg

'For the Good of the Party' by William Norman Grigg: "In a free society, 'law enforcement' wouldn't exist, although the presence of peace officers would be tolerated. Conditionally. In a constitutional republic, public demonstration of distrust toward 'law enforcement' would be considered a token of conscientious citizenship. In the American Soyuz, however, criticizing 'law enforcement' is akin to engaging in 'anti-Soviet agitation and propaganda.' To that supposed offense, Miller added the even more grievous sin of undermining the interests of the Party. Acting on dubious procedural grounds, the Committee demanded Miller's resignation.

'Mr. Miller's statements regarding the SWAT raid have created serious problems for our elected officials, money raising efforts and have divided the Party,' fulminated the commissars in a public rebuke. 'Mr. Miller was given repeated opportunities to either mend these fences or resign his position, and has chosen to do neither.'

As committee member Brian Brenner explained: 'This is solely about the interests of the Pima County Republican Party.' Nothing else is – individual liberty, the preservation of the rule of law, or even the integrity of the constitutional framework for which Republicans express such pious reverence – is consequential."

The Business of America Is War by Stephen Lendman

The Business of America Is War by Stephen Lendman: "Noted trends analyst Gerald Celente said it, and it's true. In fact, America's business is war, more war, multiple wars, permanent wars, pillaging one nation after another for wealth, power, and dominance, while homeland needs go begging.

America never was and isn't now the 'land of the free and home of the brave.' In fact, it's become a 'Let 'em eat cake' society.

Whether or not Marie Antoinette actually said it, France's 1789-99 revolution was very real, delivering guillotine justice, not promised 'Liberte, Egalite, and Fraternite,' a status now destroying what's left of American freedom, heading for the trash bin of history if not already there.

Earlier articles discussed Washington's wars against Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Libya and Yemen, as well as numerous proxy ones in Africa, Asia, Central and South America, and at home against Muslims, Latino immigrants, and working households."

Three Cheers for the Casey�Anthony�Jurors by Butler Shaffer

Three Cheers for the Casey�Anthony�Jurors by Butler Shaffer: "Every once-in-awhile events occur that provide some optimism that real people – rather than the sock-puppets who speak on behalf of institutional interests – have a firm grip on reality. The jury in the Casey Anthony trial did precisely what they were directed to do by the court: deliberated on the evidence presented to them, and concluded that there was not the requisite degree of certitude to allow them to find this woman guilty of the murder charges brought against her.

This was more than the percaled agents of 'justice' could take. They know a 'guilty' person when they see one: it’s whoever is charged with a crime by the state! The cable-TV bobbleheads – let’s call them Dennis Dullard and Amelia Airhead – began screaming for vengeance, . . . not so much against Ms. Anthony, but against the jurors! Their screeches of rage were echoed by other lobotomized voices, one of whom urged doing away with the jury system altogether. Charles Dickens’ Madame Defarge was resurrected! Another shrieked at the 'idiots on the jury,' while another asked the most irrelevant question as it pertained to this defendant: 'who killed Caylee then?'"

Jonathan Emord -- Dick Durbin, Enemy of the Founding Fathers’ Republic: "When a politician violates virtually every principle deemed by our Founding Fathers essential to the creation and maintenance of the American republic, we may justly pronounce that person an enemy of the Framers’ Republic. The Senior Senator from Illinois, Richard J. Durbin, the Senate Majority Whip, assistant to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, is precisely that kind of person. Illinois voters should take heed and vote him out of office."

Revealed: U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services file listing 'records relating to Barry Soetoro': "The Ken Allen FOIA response file now updated with a copy of the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services DVD file listing 'records relating to Barry Soetoro....' Do all the redacted pages in the FOIA response contain information about the living person named Barry Soetoro A.K.A. Barack Obama? And why would Barry Soetoro A.K.A. Barack Obama have immigration records?

The DVD was provided to Pixel Patriot by Ken Allen. You can view the original FOIA request related to the latest dump here.

Pixel Patriot: On the surface it would appear…

the list of contents inscribed on the FOIA DVD response #HQS2011000019 released by The U.S. Department of Homeland Security would be a bit trivial except for the realization that the implications of an illegal alien officially designated as and so named Barry Soetoro is Usurping the Presidency are astronomical, and consequently must not be ignored.

The name Barrack Hussein Obama II is merely a facade…although apropos for the treacherous and treasonous figure for whom even the presidential seal wont stick. Another dark day for the Republic no matter how you try spin it."

"If you want to know who is going to fix this country, find a mirror. Not every American is indecent. But the decent people have been bullied into sitting down and shutting up. They stand and speak up now, or they are part of the problem.

Only those willing to fight for freedom deserve freedom! There is no more time for pretenders and patriot profiteers only concerned with gaining a seat at the table of corruption and destruction. The time for a real tea party has arrived and I’m not talking about the next caf�latte rally full of empty feel-good campaign slogans aimed at benefiting the Republican Party instead of the Constitutional Republic.

Good government can only come from decent people. The indecent people must go! Only the decent people can get rid of them!

America’s Fork In The Road (debt ceiling options and consequences) (WHO WILL BLINK?) � ~ BLOGGER.GUNNY.G.1984 ~ (BLOG & EMAIL): "The Republicans? Do they squander the unique chance in history they have here to force Obama into meaningful spending cuts? If they do, then the role of the Tea party in 2010 was only boring foreplay for what will happen during the elections of 2012. Republicans, who go along with a raise of the debt ceiling, without real spending cuts, or with new taxes, will find a Tea Party candidate opposing them in the primaries, and will be defeated in the election. On the other hand, Republicans are known to love showing their sense for responsibility. They will avoid an economic disaster. Republicans believe the opponent is rational and trustworthy. But, is he really?

You would think the president is soliciting campaign contributions from the Mexican drug cartels

You would think the president is soliciting campaign contributions from the Mexican drug cartels: "This is an outrageous title indeed. We do know however that there was some controversy as to how the president got his campaign contributions when he was first elected. Through a loophole, he may have received up to a third of his contributions illegally and from abroad.

Why wouldn’t the Mexican drug cartels jump in to support the president with their billions? The president is doing quite a bit for them. Firstly, the president has told his border patrol not to enforce immigration laws through a back door DREAM Act and through a “catch and release” immigration policy. This makes it very easy for drug traffickers to hide amongst the illegal aliens coming over the border. There are 500,000 coming into Arizona every year alone. These policies seem especially designed to make it as easy as possible for the drug cartels to practice their trade in as convenient a manner as possible.

A gang member of the Zeta Mexican drug cartel was caught recently and he testified that all the guns they needed were supplied by the US government.

Conversations With a Clover…. by Eric Peters

Conversations With a Clover…. by Eric Peters:

"In honor of July 4 – the lingering spirit of it, if not the actuality – I decided to publish a “letter to Clover” as a way to show how anti-freedom people think. Maybe “think” is not the exactly right term to use to describe the mental processes of a Clover.

It’s more a combination of primitive emoting and intellectual incapacity – in particular, an incapacity to think in terms of concepts and principles. The Clover sees something he doesn’t like, and reflexively emotes: “There ought to be a law!” He does not grasp the broader implications of “the law” he wants to see enacted – or he just doesn’t care, because he believes it will further some greater good – as he defines it. Dissecting the Cloverite Mentality is interesting in terms of understanding just what pro-freedom people are up against.

The “letter” that follows was written in response to this missive I received from a Clover in response to my column criticizing random roadblocks:"

Obama’s Plan for $10 Gas

Obama’s Plan for $10 Gas


"Their anger is often directed at the oil companies that supply the gas.

It should be directed at Barack Obama instead.From the beginning of his appearance on the national stage, Obama has focused on the goal of driving up energy prices with the idea of 'weaning'


America off fossil fuels. He has succeeded in driving up prices, all right, but not in reducing dependence on fossil fuels."

Hell Has a New Resident and Mexico Has a New Hero:

"Just remember. Obama will not pay your mortgage. But if you rape and bludgeon a 16 year old girl to death... he'll be there for you.

The San Francisco Chronicle asks, 'Is Rick Perry Killing His Way To The White House?'. Here's a better headline. 'Is Obama Defending Stick Rapists and Asphalt Bludgeoners To Stay in the White House'. The answer obviously, yes.

Obama picked this fight for two reasons. Reason 1 is the Mexican vote. Reason 2 is Rick Perry. The Vienna Convention on Consular Relations and the Importance of Protecting Rapists and Bludgeoners is a distant hum in the background. As much as Obama is a fan of making US law subsidiary to Pakistani law, this is more about making Perry choose between Texas voting bases and pandering to Mexican voters at the same time.

The Mexican government is already angry. Which can have dangerous implications. What if Mexico decides to boycott us and refuse us to send us their rapists and bludgeoners? How will we find Americans to do their raping and bludgeoning for them?.............................

Seeing Yellow… But Not For Very Long | Eric Peters Autos

Seeing Yellow… But Not For Very Long | Eric Peters Autos: "Ever get the feeling that traffic lights stay yellow for shorter intervals than they used to?

Turns out, you’re not imagining it.

Yellow intervals have been shortened at traffic lights in many areas around the country, courtesy of the government officials responsible for writing national transportation guidelines. Some signals stay yellow only about 70 percent as long as they did 15 years ago. And here’s a curious thing: The change in signal timing intervals coincides with the much-discussed rise in the incidence of red light-running.

Put another way, more people are getting caught in the middle of an intersection after the light has changed from yellow to red. Is it a coincidence that decreased yellow timing and “red light running” track together?

Certainly, there are people who deliberately run red lights – irrespective of the yellow interval. These are the jerks who enter an intersection when the light is already red. But the majority are people who entered the intersection when the light was still yellow – but didn’t get through before it cycled to red. Many probably decided that they could not come to a stop safely (and without risking being rear-ended by the car behind them) before the light transitioned from yellow to red."

Give Us Liberty: A Republican Congressman has confirmed some of his colleagues are talking about initiating impeachment hearings.: "A Congressman Confirms GOP is Talking Impeachment
Ben Johnson,The White House Watch
Barack Obama’s threat to bypass Congress and raise the debt ceiling has stirred significant talk of impeachment —and not just on talk radio. A Republican Congressman has confirmed some of his colleagues are talking about initiating impeachment hearings. Scott Keyes of ThinkProgress.org asked Rep. Pete Olson of Texas:“Congressman Tim Scott of South Carolina yesterday in a town hall said if President Obama were to just ignore the debt ceiling,then he might be favoring bringing up articles of impeachment. Is that something that you’ve heard discussed much among your colleagues?”Olson replied,“A little bit.”Olson quickly pivoted to repeating talking points about the debt ceiling,so Think Progress’s Lee Fang followed up:“So Congressman Scott,is he just a lonely voice or are there a large number of people who are talking about this?”"

John Boehner Statement On Practically Agreeing To A Debt Ceiling Hike

John Boehner Statement On Practically Agreeing To A Debt Ceiling Hike: "Statement by Speaker Boehner on Debt Limit Discussions

House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) released the following statement today regarding ongoing debt limit discussions with the White House:

'Despite good-faith efforts to find common ground, the White House will not pursue a bigger debt reduction agreement without tax hikes. I believe the best approach may be to focus on producing a smaller measure, based on the cuts identified in the Biden-led negotiations, that still meets our call for spending reforms and cuts greater than the amount of any debt limit increase.'

Zero Hedge translation: in two weeks we get news of no tax hikes, and no deficit reduction, which will be spun by the great diversionary media machine as the great compromise, and, of course, leading to a $2.5 trillion debt ceiling hike. Win, win for everyone. Except America's people of course, but who gives a rat's ass about them: certainly not their 'elected' muppets, all of which are for sale to the highest Wall Street bidder."

In the late fifties when I became more aware of what my mother and father was telling their children and into the early sixties, they told us of a man. In those days, I suppose many parents felt a need to explain what us youngsters might see and wonder about�€”things they worried might cause us to be confused. One early explanation I recall was that of a lone figure who walked (forced marched) up and down the winding road to Lookout Mountain in Gadsden, Alabama.

He was in his world. He was not in ours that we could tell. Passing him by going down or traveling up toward home, we would see him regularly in those days and at nine or ten years old, one feels sorry that he was doing that. I felt sorry that he was alone. I worried that he was marching on the narrow shoulder of three-lane asphalt, the third lane alternating up and down, depending on the curve for traffic to pass slower vehicles either way. There he was and he was calling commands. Commands none of us could hear from inside the family�€™s station wagon, but I knew what they were.
