Obama approval rating at all-time low. I want to know who these 42 percent that support him are.

I think the incidence of mental illness in our rulers is way higher than 1 in 7.

Love as an alternative to the state.

"Given that wealth destruction undermines social well-being, how did it come to pass that the state — an institution based on violence and plunder — has overridden peaceful cooperation as the dominant factor in social life virtually everywhere on earth? Although this simple question requires a complex answer, we know that the rulers have used fear — of themselves and of other dangers known and unknown — to terrorize the people and convince them that they are incapable of providing security, that only the state can provide it. First through fear alone, then through complementary religion, and ultimately through complementary ideology, the people’s convictions were twisted into forms compatible with the rulers, the priest/ideologists, and the military elite’s living at the expense of the plundered masses, who were kept in line more by false beliefs than by raw force."

We see it every day.

"Yet, here we are, inhabiting a world divided in countless ways by mutual misunderstandings, hatreds, and yearnings for vengeance. Because each society is subject to a state whose own interests are served by keeping this vicious pot boiling, we have no prospect of ever breaking out of the endless cycle of evil, violence, and retribution. In the process, the whole world forgoes the immense blessings that would flow from mutual cooperation, peace, and tolerance."
"Love does not keep score; international rivals do so in numerous dimensions. Love leads to inner peace and cordial relations with others, whereas the state remains always at war, if not against other states, then certainly against its own subjects, on whom it preys ceaselessly in order to sustain itself and to gratify the rulers’ insatiable ambitions for personal acclaim and unchecked power."

He offers no way to get from here to there.

Sombreros called racist. Give me a break.

Goldman Sachs votes for Hillary with our dollars.

"Drum roll please . . . . . . . . . . it’s . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Hillary Clinton!, whom Goldman just paid $400,000 for two speeches.

Is there a more money-grubbing woman anywhere in America?  There’s no one more greedy and obsessed with money than a socialist ideologue."

I bet she's happy Obama brought outright socialism into the mainstream.
