America as Less Than No. 1

The Democratic argument has been that the country could maintain its remarkable economic success while performing all these social goals, though with cutbacks in defense spending. But there has never been any sort of coherent economic argument for how we could spend all this money and maintain the U.S.'s long-term growth trend. The S&P downgrade is at bottom a repudiation of 50 years of Democratic economic theory, or its absence.

Someone finally does a story on the black flash mobs attacking whites

Note that this is a “Fox” story, not AP so this story will only appear in Fox. Also note this little bit of “irony” in the story:

But while some witness accounts suggest the attacks are race-based, law enforcement officials say they have no evidence to prove it.

There was “no confession or anything else” to suggest the July 29 attacks in Philadelphia were “racially motivated,” Philadelphia Police Department First Deputy Commissioner Richard Ross told FoxNews.com.

"You can’t just simply look at the race of the offender and the race of the victim and say it’s ethnic intimidation. It may be, but we’re not sure. Does it give us pause? Yes it does,” Ross said.

Let me reword that:

But while ALL witness accounts and video surveillance do show the attacks are race-based, law enforcement officials say they have no evidence to prove it.

What do these people want, a signed affidavit from the gangs that they were out to get “whitey”?  Just imagine if white flash gangs were attacking blacks in all the big cities in the country what kind of an outcry there would be.

I donÂ’t recall ever hearing that a white person accused of a hate crime had to “confess” to going after blacks.  This is why I think all “hate crimes” are bull shit. All crimes of this nature are hateful.

And all these city mayors and “law enforcement officials” need to look no further than London to see what the results of ignoring this kind of mob activity will do.  You can stand by to lose your cushy jobs and under the table graft when your city is burnt to the ground. (more later on this from Ann Coulter)

One school board figures a way around the law

Remember the story I linked to on the Florence country school board that wanted to issue bonds to cover operating expenses?  Something you should NEVER do and which is against State law in SC.  Well it seems that Darlington County schools have figured out a way around that law. Just take routine maintenance like replacing carpet and paving parking lots and call it “capital projects”.  And I like this little blurb:

Bond funds for capital projects are borrowed funds and can only be used for the designated capital projects, not for general operations, officials said.

I guess that all makes it ok. No word in the article on how they expect to pay for these bonds. The last time they issued bonds resulted in yet another sales tax increase. Sales tax in Darlington Country is now as high as NYC.

Almost ALL of the big newspapers are pushing Romney in the Iowa race going into the straw poll so I was interested in the take the Washington Examiner had. Well they said Bachmann was the favorite going in but they also had this interested article and headline:

Iowa straw poll could pare down GOP field

Now I donÂ’t think so. Straw Polls are notoriously inaccurate (almost as bad as newspaper polls).  But what is funny is this paragraph imbedded in the story.

The poll is unofficial and unreliable as a predictor of who will win Iowa's first-in-the-nation caucuses in February. It's mainly a fundraiser for the state Republican Party.

Then they go on to explain why the poll is still relevant.

Conrad Black on Dodd-Frank POS

Big news on F&F this morning is the stock market and the ‘economy”. Hahahahaha, like the two were synonymous. They are predicting a ‘rebound” today because Europe is showing some increase this morning. My take is the market today will be flat on low volume as most of the big churners sit it out. If it goes up any at all it will not be by much.

Gretchen says people are waiting on Obama to issue a plan. Hahahahaha, he Gretchen he has a plan. Its called more campaigning and spend some more money on his cronies and favorite voters.

If the president decides to answer the phone during this time of crisis, he must be prepared to make very tough choices.  He must be willing to sacrifice reelection for the good of the nation.  He must be a diplomat.  He must place service before self and principle before politics.

"Welcoming guests at the annual White House Iftaar party, US President Barack Obama said, ..."

Note that word "annual".

But Rick Perry is a dangerous bible thumper intent on violating the Constitution because he mixed politics and religion last week-end.

41 Just have to face it.  Any white male, who is straight, christian, does not recieve equal protection under the law.  So why should we respect the law?  Because for some reason we are expected to.

42 Vic,  I actually heard a story on the flash mobs on NPR when I woke up this morning.  Their take is that the flash mobs have been ignored due to London,  which of course is not true as we have been seeing those flash mobs in the US for a couple of months, at least.

They detailed the mobs in Philadelphia, Wisconsin state fair, and Chicago.  I was really surprised.

Also,  Dennis Miller yesterday said he is done trying to give Obama a break on anything.  He's a bad guy who needs to resign.

43 "Welcoming guests at the annual White House Iftaar party, US President Barack Obama said, ..." I would PRAY that President Perry will make that the annual Jewish Exodus Party.

That is where vigilantism starts. Once law abiding citizens realize they have no recourse to the law they start taking there defense into their own hands.

46 “Like all booms, higher education has been fueled by credit. In June of last year, total student-loan debt exceeded total credit-card debt outstanding for the first time, totaling more than $900 billion. All of this credit has pushed the average cost of tuition up 440 percent in the last 25 years, more than four times the rate of inflation. But while the factors of production on campus have been bid up, just as they are in any other asset boom, the return on investment is a bust. In 1992, there were 5.1 million mal-employed college graduates. By 2008, the number was 17 million.” -- Christian Science Monitor

Back in the early 70's recession and unemployment period, at least returning to school while awaiting a better economy was an "affordable" alternative before illegal aliens flooded the workforce doing jobs traditionally given to college kids working their way through school. The cursed school administrators and faculty are killing their own golden goose, down to trying to squeeze blood out of turnips even before the harvest, raising tuition while failing their "higher" educational role of TEACHING in preference to their pre-occupied addiction to skewed subsidized research producing predetermined desired results regardless of thorough scholarship. Victor Davis Hanson wrote a piece the other day substantiating the role of accredited online degrees that don't squander student tuition, mind and effort on ideological indoctrination. I wrote the opinion years ago that the higher education amounts to thorough readings, analysis and computations which though tutors/universities facilitate, can yet be accomplished independently by the modern "renaissance" man/woman. Most economically challenged yet bright students agree that so long as they exert due diligence accomplishing assignments in detail, the first two years of undergraduate studies are as well served at reputable community colleges as from over populated universities where the TA teaches for the faculty professor. The internet has grown to provide nearly overwhelming opportunity for independent study of resource materials more and more available online from intellectual organizations in organized forums, as well as informal blog discussions and debates (The Belmont Club, etc.). And inter-library loans are yet practiced, so the paper editions of texts from major libraries can still be borrowed given time from local libraries. Alumni of traditional higher education centers should give due respect to those individuals strong enough to learn and accomplish scholarly prowess independently against the odds and grain, without the benefits of traditional matriculation, rocking the elitists' boats not from within that system but naturally by their own independent wakes. The availability of educational emancipation through independent scholarship freed from the Medieval archetype is as revolutionary as Martin Luther's Manifesto was to the power monopoly of that era binding the minds and wills of human subjects to obedient compliance within the established order. "Home Schooling" cooperatives by the diligent match Prep School results already. Advancing to the next level would not require isolation in studies any more than elementary home schooled students are isolated given their functioning cooperatives. The Hindi attach themselves to a Mentor. There's a lot to be said for developing contacts with specialized tutors, particularly with retired professors or whoever yet enjoys the admiration from "disciples".  Yes, the elitists will forever maintain their elitism. But it is they who have already inbred to the point of internal structural weakness begetting the inferior, dysfunctional and perverted mentality and social structure emulated by Obama, Hillary, Tim Geithner, and the gross uni-political leadership raping and pillaging America.

47 Vic,  I actually heard a story on the flash mobs on NPR when I woke up this morning.

I had quit hitting their web site in the mornings because they were just another liberal PR rag almost identical to The Hill. So I went to check their site.

Nothing about the flash mobs on the main page, and nothing under the expanded U.S. coverage. So yeah, they may have mentioned it on their radio show, but nothing on the web at all.

48 Welcoming guests at the annual White House Iftaar party...

Wait until one of these flash mobs hit a couple of people who are packing and they shoot half a dozen of them. Jessie and Al will go balistic at the thought of the millions in revenues they can bilk from suckers, including the government. Then there will be "flash" marches on the streets.  All the MFM will cry racism for a month.

This is not new news. Back in the 80s, I was fired from a job. I felt that there was no just cause (which a review of my personnel file backed up, in that I had all superior reviews and a not yet enacted above average pay raise scheduled) for the firing. I went to a lawyer.

His conclusion? He would file a suit, fee only (not a contingency case) because "You are a white male between the ages of 21 and 50.  There are no laws protecting you."

If you are female, old, handicapped, fat, gay, minority, etc. etc. you have 'protections'. But for one very specific group there are none.

55 And all these city mayors and “law enforcement officials” need to look no further than London to see what the results of ignoring this kind of mob activity will do.  You can stand by to lose your cushy jobs and under the table graft when your city is burnt to the ground.  (more later on this from Ann Coulter)

I hope she shows up, causes a big fuss, and pulls every candidate to the right, forcing Iowa's to-small-to-carry the state contingent  of alleged Republicans to actually debate important subjects, and not just feed their egoism and subsidy addiction.

P.S. This is what you get when you front load the primary process with small, unrepresentative states. IMHO, the first primaries should be Texas and Pennsylvania.

Whites have been (public school) educated to be ashamed of being part of Western Civilization and have isolated themselves from one another, and do not feel entitled to fight back because of slavery, Pigford, racism, and mulit-cultiral divershity.

Economic fears are weighing heavily on Americans, with a large majority saying the United States is on the wrong track and nearly half believing the worst is yet to come, a Reuters/Ipsos poll said Wednesday.

The poll reflected growing anxiety about the U.S. economy and frustration with Washington after a narrowly averted government default last week, a credit rating downgrade by Standard & Poor's, a stock market dive and a stubbornly high 9.1 percent jobless rate.

President Barack Obama was politically bruised in the brutal, weeks-long debt debate, and negative views on the economy are worrisome signs for his 2012 re-election bid.

His approval rating dropped to 45 percent from 49 percent a month ago, according to the poll conducted from Thursday to Monday. Obama's predecessor, President George Bush, never saw his approval rating dip below 46 percent in Gallup polling in his re-election year of 2004.
