2 What, is AoS going 24/7? I thought it wrapped itself in hobo pelts and let its liver burn off some Val-u-rite every once-in-a-while.

3 Wow! Dri, you sure are up late! You know, joining our Union would make these late nights a thing of the past. Call us! We guarantee you a 9:00 bedtime and q chicken in every pot!

4 In 2012, this whole theme should be pushed and pushed hard.  Charity party v. the Slavery party.

Say it.  Explain it.  Repeat indefinitely.

5 "3 Wow! Dri, you sure are up late! "

I am just sitting here in my hobo blind (a large refrigerator box in the alley just off Main St.) waiting for a prime 40 oz. buck to stagger by. The unseasonably mild weather has caused the hobos or as I like to call them, "Outdoorsmen"  to be extra active tonight. Maybe the hobo lure mixture of Night Train and urine I sprinkle liberally about has also caused them to stir. In any event, I, like Chuck Norris, do not sleep. I wait.

"With malice toward none, with charity for all, ...let us strive on to finish the work we are in, ...to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations."  Abraham Lincoln, Second Inaugural Address, Mar. 4, 1865,  16th president of US (1809 - 1865)

When the productive hours of one person are donated for the benefit of another that is called charity.  When the productive hours of one person are confiscated for the benefit of another that is called slavery.

After all this time, it is still the charity party v. the slavery party, and we might as well just say so.  The slavery party just never gets very far from their roots and there is no point in pretending otherwise.

The charity party still lives.  The slavery party is still undead.

In addition to what Mr. Whittle says in this vid a few more dots can be connected to illustrate the neo-slaver.

First, Time is the key ingredient in every decision we make.  Time is so important that we use it to punish prisoners when other forms of punishment fail to do the job.  Time is the thing that makes us all equal.  We are all born naked and we all die without taking material goods with us.  The Time between our birth and our death is all we get unless we can figure out how to get time from other people.  That is why slavery is such a powerful impulse and so many people choose to practice it.   Our mortality and finite Time is also why slavery will never truly be defeated permanently and will continue to rise again and again in the future.

We can get Time from other people by charity, trading for it, or by stealing it.  To trade Time we invented money, which is really nothing more than Time Coupons.  Slavers prefer to steal Time from other people rather than trade fairly for it.  When the subject of Time comes up, slavers will always try to change the focus to money, so they can use class warfare as a way to confuse people and hide their real intentions.

Second, there is nothing new about any of this except for the many name changes.   Slavers used to just call themselves what they were proudly, and that worked for them for something like 5,000-10,000 years.  Finally, a group of people arose (primarily Christians) who opposed slavery and won the battle to a sufficient degree to cause a lot of slavery to go underground.  The primary way to hide slavery in modern times has been a series of name changes, including Totalitarianism, Fascism, NAZIism, Communism, Progressivism, and Socialism.  In each case, the primary tenant of slavery* remain, but they are repackaged and disguised within the "new" political system.

_{* Slavery is the confiscation of the Time of one person for the benefit of another thru the control of the victimÂ’s choices.  In the most famous form, the choice control takes the form of “you will work, or I will beat you to death.”  Note that the victim still owns the victimÂ’s body, and in fact still owns the choice, but the choice is controlled such that it is only the selection of something horrible or something worse.}

_{** It should be noted that Abolitionists did win major victories in the war against slavery, to the degree that individual slavers are not common, and slavers are no longer able to sell other peopleÂ’s children.  However, slavery has moved from an individual-based system to a government-takeover based system.}

Note that every one of these “new” political systems uses designated bogeymen as a central element of obtaining popularity and control.  In many ways, the “1%” is to the new U.S. leftist what the “Juden” was to the NAZI form of the slavery party.

So if a female was with a guy but made his life miserable unless he changed to fit her every whim, would that be an abusive relationship?  What should he do?

I ask because, that's how the left has treated America for most of a century.

11 Oh yeah now everyone shows up.

12 OT RP

Annoyed with the clips I saw of the debate questions.  Here is what it might be like if someone applied those type of gotcha questions to you..

Sir -In march 1994 you said to your wife, quote "my goodness honey, our boy throws like a girl,  we should keep him out of sports..." but in July 2002 after a a soccer game you told your son he quote "is a great athlete and you were very proud of him?"

Again Sir - in Dec 2006 to her face, you told your Mother in law how much you appreciated her for watching your children so you could take a vacation.  But mere days later in January 2007 to a coworker you said you wish she would stop meddling in your lives and die already? Followed by both of you laughing... (rolls video... gasps from audience)  Sir do you wish all old ladies would die or just ones you are related to?

How can anyone hearing these two disparate statements, believe or trust anything you say? 

Yet we expect our political leaders to be able to square everything they have ever said ever.

13 @Shiggz: Appreciate where you're coming from, but it's more complicated. These people are running for President. We are deciding which of them we want to execute laws that we must all obey. So, trivial things matter a great deal at that point.

14 Who has the keys to the blog? It's high time for a THC thread.

15 Live Free or Die A Slave.

The problem is that most politicians, deep in their black hearts, really believe that "beneficent slavery" is a craft that they can master and that once they get enough power to get slavery done right, all will be well in the universe.

16 @joffen This is a conservative site and so their are few people who would be happy if their guy got the knob slobbering in debates like Obama got.  There really is not a significant group here on that side of the issue.  I thought peregrine explained the difference well. 

*If that were true, he'd be asking questions about how the candidates will tackle the country's problems, not asking about how they are attacking each other.

Seeing this replay of 2008. (first pres election I really paid attention to) has been infuriating and its very much looking like its going to end up just as shitty as that one.

17 The problem is that most politicians, deep in their black hearts, really believe that "beneficent slavery" is a craft that they can master and that once they get enough power to get slavery done right, all will be well in the universe. No politician is ever anti-Government. They all think Government is useful, to a degree. It's just that they believe that they are the ones that can best use the power of Government effectively.

"That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed..."

The trick is to have just enough of that Government and no more.  It is political overreach that does humanity in every time because "those to be governed" keep on refusing to grant their consent, but the pols do it for them anyway!

19 The trick is to have just enough of that Government and no more. It is political overreach that does humanity in every time because "those to be governed" keep on refusing to grant their consent, but the pols do it for them anyway! --- We have only ourselves to blame. Who votes these politicians into office? Who refuses to hold them accountable? Either we have the power coupled with the responsibility, or we have no responsibility and thus, no power.

20 Italics fail.

21 We either continue to believe that this is America and the Constitution has meaning, or America is dead. Is the Constitution still valid? "That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed..." Obamacare passed because we failed to stop it. We, in effect, consented to this power.

22 As Newt said, "As an American, you're allowed to be stupid!".
I also cannot fathom why we keep electing known scum to public office.  I know the dead help as best they can, but there are a lot of live registered legal voters that have gladly assisted in dismantling the American Constitution by their willing complicity in supporting government corruption.

23 I sometimes fear that this country isn't conservative; that we are, in fact, the minority.

24 "we are, in fact, the minority."
But everyone I know is a conservative!

I also fear this may be true.  Being a slave removes all personal responsibility which is an onerous burden to many, if not a majority.  Far easier to say "The man made me do it!".   A free individual cannot blame others but must accept the outcome of bad decisions and press on as best he can.  A slave must also accept bad situations, but is never responsible for them as the Master has made all the decisions.

Nobody wants THEIR government money to stop.  Politicians buy votes.

 

26 @26 Nobody wants THEIR government money to stop.  Politicians buy votes.

That one line could pretty much wrap everything up and covers why what we are doing is at a best a stall.  This must be how doctors feel trying to save old people.

27 OMG - the Iranians just explained how they landed our drone. They simply jammed the GPS signals from satellites from reaching it, and generated fake signals that made it think it was somewhere it wasn't. That's scary, because we are now SO GPS dependent one wonders what other havoc they can play with our military around the world. But WORSE is this: this weakness was "long known" to the military. LONG EFFING KNOWN???? Jesus H. Christ, did our folks not think it would occur to people sooner or later that GPS can be jammed? It freaking occurred to ME last week as I was using my car GPS when I got a "searching for satellite" signal to wonder what the Army would do under those circumstances. Now we know. Heads should roll for this. And oh yeah, Obama is an utter pussy for not ordering an attack to destroy that drone. He should tell tehran they have 2 hours to deliver it to the Swiss embassy in Tehran or we firebomb everyone of their oil facilities.

Pretty sure the laughter would engulf the world

29 History. It burns.

30 Nothing quite like telling children they have been lied to. That all of those teachers and college professors that they trusted to teach them the truth - were filling them with some of the most despicable lies in the history of mankind.

No, you don't get self esteem just by being alive; self esteem like everything else good in life has to be earned.

Political correctness is a series of polite lies told to keep from hurting people's feelings. When you start to believe those lies are the truth you are in deep trouble.

Most college professors think free market economies are horrible things because if they were truly just - they, the intellectuals, would be much better paid. The truth is they are paid a just and fair salary, they have so many things wrong, that they just aren't worth much.

31 Maybe we could add the suffragettes and how womens rights was bastardized into something gross.

32 Laser guided > GPS ..   Maybe those drones are not such a good idea... Hmmmm...

33 Republicans might not be racist, fascist or greedy, but Obama is still a Stuttering Clusterfuck of a Miserable Failure.

34 This is an important video! It's a shame it got posted in the middle of the night, kind of like a story buried deep in the New York Times.

35 Excellent blog, thanks for the share. I'll be a regular viewer.

36 I am not clear if I totally understand the full thought pattern behind this.

37
I have been quite impressive with your posts, keep up the great work.

38 IÂ’ve been looking everywhere for this! Thank goodness I found it on Bing.Thx
