Jon Steward on The Daily Show (1/23/2012)

“… as close to despicable as you can imagine!?!?! . . . you imagined your wife while she was dealing with having MS would open to you having sex with another lady you’d already been having sex with for six fucking years! . . . I think you have a pretty good imagination, despicability-wise!”

Or, put differently, look up ‘despicable’ in Websters and there you’ll find a picture of the “Gingrich who stole South Carolina. What a scum bag.

Only one candidate had the foresight to see where government intervention leads. The following is a speech given by Ron Paul in 2002. It appears he is the only true visionary.

I have a prediction to add:

If the Republicans nominate either Romney, Gingrich, or Santorum, then the party will go the way of the Whigs. And you can say Obama-four more years

How’s your $93 Million boondoggle going? I remember you being the loudest vocal advocate for the largest property tax raising construction project in the history of the State of Wisconsin. What are your plans for St. Croix County?

Are you going to do what you did to your own property? You defaulted on your home and soon thereafter, your mortgage company foreclosed on you. I also seem to know that the Sheriff sold your property.

Looks as if that put a strain on your marriage as well. Tammie ended up divorcing you. You and Tammie left a wake of other miscellaneous debt. Who did you think was going to pay it? I see BOA even filed another claim St. Croix County for other unpaid bills. Was that your debt Andrew? What kind of leadership and financial management will you offer to St. Croix County?

Do you still have those Packer season tickets? 4 tickets. You almost had me going back in the year 2008. You offered up 4 tickets and a 2 day hotel package just to have me outed. My buddies were thinking about it. Naw.

Been out of state for a while but came to visit my buddies OTBL. They tell me you threw your name in the hat for County board. In the famous words of Chris Mathews, “What in God’s name were you thinking?” I forgot, you have a bunch of miscreants up your way. Hold on to your hat, Andrew.

I still owe you one… And I promise to always deliver Andrew Brinkman. You can’t even manage or supervise your own family and finances, what makes you think you can do it for the County? Who would wan’t you to?

So, what’s so bad about Ricky boy? Simple, Santorum denounces individualism, bastardizes the vision of America’s founding, and to top it off disassociates with any proper conceptualization of individual rights – the real and true basis of America’s founding. All the while wanting people to think his twisted theocratic vision is all part of the “founding vision” of America. This is called steps toward theocracy, make no mistake about it.

RS: “the conservative view of freedom,” “the liberty our Founders understood. . . this is freedom coupled with the responsibility to something bigger or higher than the self.” “True liberty is freedom in the service of virtue—not the freedom to be as selfish as I want to be, or the freedom to be left alone, but the freedom to attend to one’s duties—duties to God, to family, and to neighbors. . . . In the conservative vision, people are first connected to and part of families: The family, not the individual, is the fundamental unit of society.”

Such utterances are wholly incompatible with individual rights. Santorum, you are a bizarre mystic ass – please, just go away.

**This post was originally made on September 25th**

With the announcement today (12/28/2011) some 90 days later, my position is the same. However, now I am faced with supporting a Libertarian candidate. While I will not support the Libertarian party, I will support this man. Gary Johnson will be the first candidate for President of The United States (assuming he gets the L nomination) who I will vote for who is not a Republican.

When you watch the video, it might not hit you right away but it did me. Wanna know why? Because my family goes back 11 generations here in America, and we fought in the Revolutionary War, The War of 1812, The Civil War, WW1 and WW2.. so, by virtue of family heritage I consider myself as part of that 12% and take it seriously..

The balance of the candidates (Republicans) make me want to vomit, but here is a guy who I would be willing to support.

1. His position on taxes is laudable, better than the others, but not perfect.

2. His position on energy is precisely correct – his premise is that we have a supply problem, and until that gets corrected (meaning more domestic production, use of natural gas more, etc,) we ought to ride bikes more… I love that!

3. His position on legalization of certain drugs, e.g. marijuana is sane – unlike all the other candidates (except, perhaps, Ron Paul)

4. His position on immigration is sane: “America is a land of immigrants. Legal immigration should focus on making it easier and simpler for willing workers to come here with a temporary work visa, pay taxes, contribute to society, and fill jobs as the market demands.”

5. He opposes “Net Neutrality.” So do I, and for the same reasons!! “It is not a coincidence that the one element of our
modern economy that has been uniquely left free of government interference has created equally unique growth and transformation. An Internet free of regulation and taxation has produced innovation and enhancements to quality of life almost unparalleled in human history. If the market demands Internet services, speed and access, the market will provide them without any help from the government. The government, with its regulatory foot in the door, will inevitably end up attempting to regulate and referee content, speech, and commerce.”

6. Foreign Policy…. again, I agree with GJ when he states that our military needs to leave BOTH Afghanistan and Iraq. I don’t want to put words in his mouth, but from what I have read it appears he, like me, would like a far far smaller but far far more lethal military that stays close to home and is only used when we are directly and clearly threatened or attacked. Period.

Lastly (I could go on and on here), there is this quote out of the GQ article.. in reference to GJ’s attendence at Porcfest. A local public-radio guy and a local blogger ask if he would mind being interviewed, and they retreat to a smelly back hallway near the men’s room, where he answers questions about his campaign for the presidency while various revelers walk by with bongs and guns.

“A lot of people would say it’s a courageous candidate,” says the radio guy, “who would come to an event where people are walking around openly carrying weapons, there’s gay disco, there’s people smoking marijuana…”

Gary chuckles. “I wouldn’t say I’m a brave candidate for those reasons.” Another chuckle. “Those things don’t bother me at all.”

Last night at an impromptu meeting of a half-dozen friends the same question was again put to the table. The people involved in the question, like the time before, are quite intelligent and knowledgeable about an array of subjects. The answers last night were again all over the board. Gingrich pulled one vote; Cain got one other; two voted for Paul; one said anybody but Obama, and the most politically astute member of the group voted they were deeply conflicted. Notice how Romney again received not a single nod.

Furthermore, several voiced the opinion that if Gingrich or Romney ended up winning the nomination, then two would sit out the election and another stated they would mark the ballot for Obama in an act of pouring gasoline on to the fire.

The problem for the Republicans, and thus the country appears to be this: A significant portion of the country truly wants liberty restored and an end to American imperialism abroad. They see government at all levels as corrupt. Additionally, they recognize the crony capitalism of government and the Federal Reserve as the source of all economic evil, which is true. Many may agree with such an outline, but swayed somewhat by the media and the Republican power brokers, they have determined a candidate espousing these views cannot win a general election.

A candidate like Gingrich or Romney that speaks in tempered terms about freedom while still promoting the ideas of American global power and government solution to economic woes is according to the experts palatable to the masses. But the two recently anointed front-runners leave a bad taste to those with a deep conviction toward minimal government, not just less. With a chunk of the electorate bolting someone other than Gingrich or Romney, then the pair becomes no different than the stigma attached to Ron Paul; they are unelectable.

The fact remains this country is about evenly divided between the :makers and the takers”. At this point, the election for President appears to be headed for a very ugly conclusion, which is the re-election of Obama.

As an aside of sorts…

Archeologists Israel Finkelstein (Tel Aviv University) and Neil Asher Silberman (director of historical interpretation, Ename Center for Public Archeology and Heritage Presentation, Belgium) summarized archeological findings and corrections regarding the historical origins of the Jewish nation (2001). In their words,

“‘The process that we describe here is, in fact, the opposite of what we have in the Bible: the emergence of early Israel was an outcome of the collapse of the Canaanite culture, not its cause. And most of the Israelites did not come from outside Canaan – they emerged from within it. There was no mass exodus from Egypt. There was no violent conquest of Canaan’ ” Finkelstein, I. & Silberman, N. A. The Bible Unearthed. The Free Press: New York, 2001, p. 118.

So much for the Moses myth and burning bushes that speak … you may as well toss in Abraham and Isaac as well – a nasty story illustrating clearly, whether myth or not, of the profound flaw in Pascal’s wager.. Frankly, I prefer Smith’s wager.

You Ignorant Austrians

In the recent past, he has thumbed his nose at the Austrians calling for an audit of the Federal Reserve. Cain calls such people ignorant. By his own admission he never saw the current financial calamity coming. As the economy imploded, Cain became a shill for the Bush administration talking up the strength of the economy. Furthermore, he supported the bailout and cheered taxpayer funds siphoned toward Wall Street.

What Depression

Herman Cain also believes that Alan Greenspan as the best leader of the Federal Reserve over the last forty years. Greenspan is the type of person that Cain says he will appoint Chairman of the Federal Reserve if elected president.

Greenspan the Great

As Austrians long ago realized and even our earlier Presidents, central banking is the root cause of the boom-bust cycle. How can you support a candidate that not only was part of the beast, but believes it does not need to be watched over through audits? How can you support a candidate that at heart is an economic interventionist? How can you support a candidate that believes the federal government needs more money?

The bottom line is that Herman Cain is another George Bush who does not believe in free markets. In other words he is no friend of liberty.

Enough said.

3. 9+9+9=2,160,000,000,000 Presidential hopeful Herman Cain claims that his 999 tax plan where businesses and individuals are federally taxed at a flat rate of 9% in addition...

In 2000 federal tax receipts amounted to nearly $1.8 trillion. The amount in 2010 exceeded $2.1 trillion, which is nearly a 17% increase over the decade. According to Mr. Cain the right size for government is bigger than it was 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 or 100 years ago. Apparently Cain and his supporters are satisfied with the level of federal intrusion in this country and around the world. What happens when the economy grows? The government brings in more tax money and increases its bureaucracy, which means even more intrusion.

This is the problem with many flat tax proposals floating around. They all premise the virtue of the various plans in that government receives more money. I would personally endorse a national sales tax plan with the preface that all other taxation is eliminated and a receipt cap is placed on the federal government plus restrict the ability of Washington D.C. to borrow money. For example, a national sales tax of 15% is placed on all goods, which allows an individual to keep all of their income up front and then decide how they want to be taxed. Once the federal coffers reach $500 billion the sales tax is suspended until the beginning of the next fiscal year.

You cannot have limited government if you do not limit the flow of funds into the Treasury or limit the amount on the credit card. Herman Cain’s math is a little conflicted along with his idea of smaller government.
