A Frenchman Tells the Truth

Not that I'm calling the French liars or anything. I mean, just look at the blog address!
Today on Fareed Zakaria: GPS (a very good show, from the few episodes and segments I've seen), the host interviewed a Frenchman and a German. The former said Barack Obama was an idealist and a realist, while the neocons are extreme idealists. Then he said Barack was a mixture of a neocon and Kissinger.
Take it from a man with a clear head, a rational man. Obama is no Ron Paul, Dennis Kucinich (though I disagree with him on Darfur), or Cynthia McKinney. He's just going to start more wars that are more directly linked to the "war on terror" and genocide
Watch out Pakistan! Watch out Iran!
Turns out that entire nations are terrorist nations if they don't do enough in the eyes of the leviathan. And never mind about possible civil wars if moderates start attacking extremists. The legionaries will come to the rescue!
Yep, we should just kill the people instead of the source, mainly the American Hegemony.
I mean, I think you'd be pretty ticked off if someone decided to stay in your back yard or porch and threatened to shoot you if you tried to get them out, right?
Didn't the colonials have a revolution because the redcoats tried to have sleepovers?

Russia-Georgia

The media is finally reporting on the war between Russia and Georgia. The media has automatically taken Georgia's side since, y'know, the Russians are always evil.
We hear of an alleged Russian bombing of an apartment building, but they attacked an ammo dump that was next to the apartments. Apparently good guys build highly destructive military installations next to residential areas, right?
There was a lot of talk of democracy. Okay, I'll bite. The South Ossetians want to be free from Georgia. They might want to join Russia or they might want their own country. I don't know, but I do know they don't want to be part of Georgia. Don't they have a right to leave if they feel like it?
Let's assumed the countries were different. Let's say Israel was a part of an arabic country. Let's also say that Israel decided to leave this nameless country. They voted to, but not everyone seems to recognize it. The arab country, over a decade later, decide to shell Jerusalem. Fourteen thunred are dead. Would the US not attack? This is the same situation. It seems like the Georgians started it all, yet they're the heroes. They shell a city (destroying about 80% of it) and they're martyrs. The Russians destroy an ammo dump next to an apartment builing and they're evil.
Now the press reports that the Russians are invading the heart of Georgia. The Georgian president declared war on them. He wants a cease-fire not even a day later.
I'm writing this because I'm utterly amazed at the hypocrisy of the two mainstream candidates and Americans in general. If Russia does it, it is evil, but we can go into any country we want and it's okay.
I understand this is the way politics works. I guess I should just laugh since it's so glaringly obvious it's actually a bit funny.

Uh, what?

Some town hall meeting in Cape Girardeau: Barack is going to crack down on countries that won't allow our products and is going to tax companies that sends jobs overseas.
Crack down? Like, go to war? Sanctions (which is always immoral)?
Oh, and want to keep jobs here? Get rid of minimum wage.

Rev. Wright

I hear all these dopes on the news cry about how horrible Jeremiah Wright is. Their main points:
-It's an outrage to compare US Soldiers to Roman Legionnaires
-His style is arrogant/egomaniacal
-It's damaging
-He's shrill, therefore his point is wrong (seriously)

Questions:
-Aren't we building an empire? Don't we have soldiers far away from Rome (uh, I mean, DC)?
-Since when is being a fired up, charismatic minister something intrinsically bad?
-How is his defending himself damaging?
-Ad hominem?

Answers:
-Yes, but our soldiers should be revered as Saints. So shut your anti-American mouth up.
-Of course, unless its on a Sunday. The only acceptable ministers are the ones who are hypocrites and worship the state.
-Logic? Haw haw

Apparently, answering semi-sarcastically (i.e. "Do you know what your pastor said on Sunday?) is absolutely evil.
I'd love to see what they would say about Bastiat if he was alive.
Does he hurt Obama? Maybe, but I have no respect for Barack now.

P.S. I'm laughing my butt off at their fruity responses. "He might have a point" "The black experience" "A conversation!"

The rEVOLution, MSM, and Bob Barr

You really have to love the hypocrisy of the MSM.
They focus on young liberal an neocon voters, but ignore the most dedicated young people and their candidate. Your basic Obama college age voter is only fired up about things that ultimately effect them. They would be ga-ga over Hillary if she promised free college, or at least a reduction in tuition. This frightens me since they're taking away state's rights (the price of a government school) and private property rights (regulation of the price of a private college).
It does make sense that they would ignore the ones that honestly believe that we should get back on the gold standard and end the fed, though. Most of the mainstream media's anchors and hosts are baby boomers who think they can use the government to change things for the better. They fail to see that it's like a pact with the devil. Yes, he can give you powers, but ultimately you're his servant no matter how much the opposite seems true. Most of them view people my age as apathetic if it doesn't benefit us. Paradoxally, most people my age that go to college are collectivists, so you'd think they would want to benefit humanity.
The media made a huge enemy this election year in the form of Ron Paul supporters. If Bob Barr wins the LP nomination, I expect the media to make even more enemies since they'll largely ignore him or ridicule him despite surprisingly high numbers. I hope I'm completely wrong though; it would be very interesting if he was able to participate at the presidential debate.

Racism is more rampant than you think

Before the Civil Rights movement you had Klansmen openly enjoy carnivals, people calling other folks niggers, wetbacks, and countless other names.
Martin Luther King Jr. wanted to create a colorblind society. We have integrated schools, stores where anyone is allowed to shop, and a half black man running for president since his death. Of course, there are far more things I could list, but I won't.
King failed in his dream. The color blind society is not here yet.
Children are bussed to schools far from their homes in the name of integration. Businesses are forced to hire minorities just because they are minorities. Everyone on the news is ga-ga over Barack being black.
Sure, it's historic, but an obsession with this is inherently racist.

Why da yoof luv Barack

Free (or cheap) college!
You think "Hellya! Eye Ken lerned reel gud!"
Who's going to pay for it? Taxpayers.
"Dud, jus, like...print money"
Like I said, damn it, taxpayers. Printing money=inflation. Inflation=idirect taxation!
"Hold yer horses, bucko! The government could set prices!"
Yes, we need far more government intervention. They are, truly, looking out for you. So, in conclusion:
1. It'll be paid for via direct taxation
2. It'll be paid for via indirect taxation
3. The college your dumb rear end will just become another community college.
Go Barack, go! Steal money! Counterfeit! Make Americans even dumber! But Everyone will cheer as America burns. Free money for you! Free college! Gotta get that edumacation in a college that I got in because I memorized a bunch of words that I forgot already! GOD BLESS THE SAT!!!!11
