Yes We Can!(not Heckle the Messiah)

Looks like some think Barry O. has forgotten the black community, and they protested as much in St. Petersburg.

As the O comes unraveled the spontaneous slogan chanting of his assemblage of kool-aid donees, to drown out the protesters, sends a chill down my leg.

Look out Nuremberg in Denver, here they come!!

The Nuremburg thing is getting a little old, I'd ordinarily feel insulted. But as it comes from someone seeking to straddle the nominations of an inescapably corrupt party and an inescapably irrelevant party, I'll just chalk it up to r. Nixon phoning in from a parallel universe where that all makes sense.

Actually his take down of the heckler was done admirably.

I don't see anything wrong with it..

Had everyone in the auditorium been white, and I am only speaking from my own interpretation, I really do not think anyone would have bothered posting it.....

I know I wouldn't have...It's just another heckler... I would have thought to myself..those stupid idiots and let it go...

What from this video frightens you?

Curious with no condescension intended....

One of the big observations that a Green Party friend of mine made about why the Obama candidacy chills both of us (despite our manifestly differing views on the issues) is that his average supporter isn't a thinker -- he or she is a "feeler."

There's precious little understanding or real thought in the entire Obama campaign put towards real policy situations -- it's just feel-good Kool Aid stuff.

End the war in Iraq? How? "Yes we CAN! You gotta believe! Barack's gonna do it!"

Filibuster FISA and then backtrack on it? How can you support such a transparent political whore? "Yes we CAN! Barack empowers all of us."

The really frightening thing is that this completely inadequate man, who cannot handle even a little criticism from Hillary, or the media, or the opposition parties, or the cover of the New Yorker, is drinking his own Kool Aid.

His resume and list of achievements might be a thin page indeed, but his ego is the size of Kansas.

This is a man who has stated, repeatedly, that he sees himself as the "representation of all the aspiration and hopes of the American people."

Ego + arrogance + incompetence + power almost always = disaster. That's something that is disquieting to people all over the political map -- including lots of people who are far more "progressive" than Obama and his Amen Corner.

More of This, Please

Or perhaps I should say, "Less of this one, please." Or how about just, "None of them. Ever again. Please....For the Love of God." Sunshine State Poll: Grayson In Trouble The latest Sunshine State/VSS poll shows controversial Democratic incumbent Alan Grayson trailing former state Senator Dan Webster by seven points, 43 percent to 36 percent. A majority of respondents -- 51 percent -- disapprove of the job that Grayson is doing. Independents have an unfavorable view of him as well, by a 36/47 margin. Grayson has ignored the conventional wisdom that a freshman should be a quiet member who carefully tends to the home fires. The latest controversy involves his " Taliban Dan " advertisement, where he explicitly compares his opponent to the Taliban, and shows a clip of Webster paraphrasing Ephesians 5:22 -- "wives, submit to your husbands." An unedited version of the clip shows that Webster was actually suggesting that husba...

A reply to Salon's R. J. Eskrow, and his 11 stupid questions about Libertarians

Posts here have been in short supply as I have been living life and trying to get a campaign off the ground. But "11 questions to see if Libertarians are hypocrites" by R. J. Eskrow, picked up at Salon , was just so freaking lame that I spent half an hour answering them. In the end (but I'll leave it to your judgment), it is not that Libertarians or Libertarian theory looks hypocritical, but that the best that can be said for Mr. Eskrow is that he doesn't have the faintest clue what he's talking about. That's ok, because even ill-informed attacks by people like this make an important point:  Libertarian ideas (as opposed to Conservative ideas, which are completely different) are making a comeback as the dynamic counterpoint to "politics as usual," and so every hack you can imagine must be dragged out to refute them. Ergo:  Mr. Eskrow's 11 questions, with answers: 1.       Are unions, political parties, elections, and ...

A Libertarian Martin Luther King Jr. Day post

In which we travel into interesting waters . . . (for a fairly long trip, so be prepared) Dr. King's 1968 book, Where do we go from here:  chaos or community? , is profound in that it criticizes anti-poverty programs for their piecemeal approach, as John Schlosberg of the Center for a Stateless Society  [C4SS] observes: King noted that the antipoverty programs of the time “proceeded from a premise that poverty is a consequence of multiple evils,” with separate programs each dedicated to individual issues such as education and housing. Though in his view “none of these remedies in itself is unsound,” they “all have a fatal disadvantage” of being “piecemeal,” with their implementation having “fluctuated at the whims of legislative bodies” or been “entangled in bureaucratic stalling.”   The result is that “fragmentary and spasmodic reforms have failed to reach down to the profoundest needs of the poor.” Such single-issue approaches also have “another common failing — ...
