Free kibbles

FREEDOM OF SPEECH:

The FCC officially abandons the Fairness Doctrine, but that's no reason to celebrate. You can bet it will quickly introduce something similar or worse with a different name.

ECONOMY:

The number of people late on their mortgages rises again.

Americans are returning to traditional self-sufficiency. The author presents this a just sensible, but it undermines the division of labor which creates wealth. The deeper meaning is government is taking us backwards towards the stone age.

TAX AND SPEND:

Yet another article by a conservative blaming Democrats for spending as if he'd never heard of TARP, NCLB, Medicare Part D, the Bush farm bill, the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq and God knows what else. The talking heads on both sides do a wonderful job working the divide and conquer strategy on behalf of their ruling class masters.

FEDERAL RESERVE:

While politicians were distracting Americans with the $700 billion TARP fiasco, the Fed lent Wall Street $1.2 trillion. Don't look at the man behind the curtain stealing your money.

GLOBAL WARMING AND ENERGY:

Now the greens are going after modern farming techniques. The government is shutting down small farms and now they want to shut down big farms. How do you think that's going to work out for us? Can you stone age death and destruction? These people aren't interested in the environment. They aren't interested in people's health. They are against all human development, and they want to take everybody but themselves back to the stone age.

POLICE STATE:

Report claims the FBI agents organize almost all terrorist plots in the US to justify their exorbitant salaries.


WAR:

NATO's supposedly humanitarian mission has produced street fighting in Tripoli. I'm sure the families of the people who die in this deadly fighting will appreciate the phony humanitarian motives of Obama and NATO.
"Specific districts of Tripoli have become notorious for their antiregime protests during the six months of Libya's civil war, while other neighborhoods have remained forcibly allied with the leader—loyal men and families who owe their careers, tribal ties and social positions to Col. Gadhafi. These divisions have erupted in increasingly bloody street fighting this week, threatening a vacuum of power and a Balkanized break-up of this city of two million people."
The talking heads will call these unforeseen consequences, but I don't believe. The head crooks in the west knew darn good and well their support for the rebels would lead to chaotic, deadly, ongoing civil war. But they didn't care. They just wanted to guarantee that China didn't horn in on Libya's oil contracts. Once again US intervention abroad has turned a bad but tolerable situation, one that had improved through peaceful interaction, worse to enrich the ruling class. Reports that Qaddafi's son had been captured were wrong.
"The reappearance of Col. Gadhafi's son marks a major public relations debacle for the rebel leadership, who disseminated news of his arrest to Western allies. It remains unclear whether Seif el-Islam was apprehended and then escaped, or whether the rebel's facts were never confirmed. Videos of Seif el-Islam giving morale-boosting speeches to groups of armed men, apparently filmed Monday night, buzzed across Libyan-centered social media sites on Tuesday, adding to the embarrassment of the Benghazi leadership."
Never confirmed by the regime propagandists? What a surprise. The draft of the new Libyan constitution is based on Sharia. This keeps getting worse and worse. I'm happy for the people who ousted an oppressive dictator, but I fear Americans will pay for our government's involvement.

FOREIGN POLICY:

Why in the world should any American be willing to die for Israel? The best thing the US government can do for the people of Israel is to stop inflaming hostilities in the middle east.

POLITICS:

How Obama and Democrats are using the Cloward and Piven strategy of orchestrating crises in order to collapse our economy. The thing is, Bush and Republicans did the same thing, maybe with a different goal, but it worked exactly the same.

The key to understanding politics is to first understand the nature of government: its primary function is to loot the people and protect the rulers from the people. Once you understand that, watch politicians do compared to what they say. For example:
"President Obama has touted three pending U.S. trade deals as measures that could immediately spur job growth, if only Congress would approve them to become law.  The only problem: the White House has not yet formally sent the deals to Congress for a vote."
This tells us Obama doesn't want to create jobs. He's intentionally harming our economy. I know that makes him evil, but that doesn't make Republicans good. Republicans are just the same. They talk about reducing the burden of government to create jobs, but all they ever do is increase the burden of government as well.
