— andy Scott Brown's great new ad appears below the fold.
Also, Professor Jacobson over at Legal Insurrection traced the origins of the Obama/Warren "You Didn't Build That" theme back to George Lakoff (rhymes with).

Love how the ad starts with pro-business speech from Democrap Preezys. Then segues into current P to the Reezy saying: "I love how people who start businesses think they're so smart". My dad was a small businessman, I don't recall one moment where he congratulated himself for being so cotdamn smart. Unless you want to call it smart to bust your ass six and a half days a week and be required to steal time from your business to spend a weekend at the beach with your family.
This ad has convinced me to send money to Scottie B.

My wife used to think she was liberal. Then she met me, and I wouldn't let her not pay attention. She's almost as conservative as I am, now. I'm firmly convinced that the only way to be liberal and pay attention is if you actively wish to do harm to others in order to advance your own agenda.
That is there are two types of liberals: the ignorant, and the evil.

and another thing about the ad:
Why do leftards insist on being CLEAR? "Let me be clear, blahblahblah." Obama's always starting with how CLEAR he is. Don't they know that was Preezy Tricky Dick's catchphrase?
That lady Warren is just offensive. I wonder if she ever met with the representatives of the Cherokee nation.

What's the great insight supposed to be? That people who run businesses use government roads?
Well, whoop-dee-fucking-doo.
They're saying that the people who ALREADY PAID for various governmental projects in the first place OWE MORE MONEY BECAUSE they PAID FOR everyone's stuff already.
That's like saying that once I buy a coffee at Starbucks, that obligates me to buy one every day forever, and one of their cappuccino makers, too.
It's fucking insane.
Also, Lakoff's brilliant idea is that no one running a business is a "self-made man," that every successful business enterprise requires the contributions of others.
Fucking astounding, professor! Amazing ability to miss the whole fucking point.
Of course businesses work with other people. They're called "customers." Or "suppliers." Or sometimes "employees."
People who run businesses are well acquainted with these concepts.
These are the people you COOPERATE with in order to run your business.
The beauty of it is that we all PAY EACH OTHER for the contributions we make to each other's lives. I pay my suppliers and employees, my customers pay me, I use that money to ... pay my suppliers and employees ...
Is any of this sinking in?
Another key here is that, in a business, we all cooperate VOLUNTARILY. If I don't like a supplier or an employee, or a customer doesn't like me and what I offer, we're all free to go out and find better alternatives.
The government is not voluntary. It's coercive. Its list of "services" is a perfect map of the things that people do not want to voluntarily do or pay for.
Try running a business based on statist coercion, Barry. See how far you get, asshole.

And then I went on to surpass the income of everyone else teachers & select family members who predicted I'd never amount to jack. Matter of fact the predicted "brain surgeon" in the family went on to drive a tow truck, but is now a 50 year old flag man (assistant to the ditch digger) and inheritor in waiting.
I didn't get any help or a dime from anyone, not even my wife at the time, mostly due to my 15 failed ideas before one finally hit it off. As for the roads, I believe I'm "paid up" every time I put a gallon of gas in my car or pay a toll, or both.

"Oh really? Which teacher was that? The ones I remember were morons."
Can't really say whether or not any of mine were morons, but Barky's remark did give me pause to think. So I thought, and I thought, and I just couldn't come up with one single inspiring teacher. None of them inspired me toward any profession, and definitely didn't inspire me to join the military (which I did). I can barely even remember their names.
The only one I can remember is my 10th grade english teacher Mrs. Hodges. She inspired me alright, but not in the way that Barky was referring to, IYKWIMAITTYD.

As a member of society we benefit from each other's efforts and ranging expertise passed on chronologically through generations of a society. No single person is required to make all things alone for himself; Rome not being built in a day, no reason to re-invent the wheel, etc. Warren and Obama have revised one Bastiat observation, appreciating the goods and services available at the market, into a socialist perversion which entirely opposes Bastiat's points in The Law as he argued convincingly against every form of socialism for effectively destroying creativity, the benefits of culture, economic prosperity and mental Liberty. For the masses of ignorant Americans who don't know better, this Democrat deceitful perversion of logic into lie, historical revisionism, as if to prove the lie true taints and discredits Bastiat, a modern bastion for functional Classical Liberal logic.
Thinskin Obama whines about his lies exposed IN CONTEXT.
His life is out of context.

They are obsessed with labels. They think if you change the label of a group, the public's shitty perception of that group will magically change for the better. They think they're clever little advertising or marketing geniuses. And they think advertising and marketing is poisoning the minds of America - driving consumerism and causing little girls to become anorexic. They really think it has a magical power over the masses so they try to use that power. All they need is a catchy phrase or a new label and everyone will fall in line. We really should be thankful that their little labels and catchy little phrases have a short shelf life. "Hope and Change" and "Yes We Can" lasted about 3 years before becoming a laughing stock. And "Forward" is going nowhere.

"They're certainly not paid to provide an education anymore."
Reminds me of my youngest's fourth grade year (two years ago). His grades declining, especially in math. I sit down with him to diagnose the problem and he's all over the place. It's obvious they're teaching him "new math" and teaching it poorly. It's also obvious he doesn't know his multiplication tables.
I tutor him over the summer and get him up to speed (actually didn't take much). Talk to his 5th grade teacher about it later in the school year and she praises him for his math skills and adds "most of them don't really know their multiplication tables". I was floored. They had them watching Disney movies and doing crafts in 4th grade, while getting numerous half days for teacher planning days, schoolday from 8-2, and week and a half Spring Breaks and three day weekends galore. I simply remarked "I'm not surprised."
And this was considered the #2 elementary school in Florida.

Somebody along the line gave him some help. Taxpayers paid for the roads he used to get to his education, they paid for the school and colleges he attended to become a professor, and they pay for the university where he teaches now.
He's reaping the benefits of intellectual capital that the rest of us paid for.
He's should be using those books' profits to pay back the system that made him successful and help people who don't have the intellectual capital to succeed like he did.

Speaking of Scott Brown:
With VP Biden Presiding, Senate Passes DemocratsÂ’ Tax Cut Plan
In the end the vice president did not need to cast a tie-breaking vote, and the Democratic tax cut plan passed by a vote of 51-48. Sen. Lieberman, I-Conn., and Sen. Webb, D-VA., voted against the Democrats plan. No Republicans voted with the Democrats.
Immediately before voting through the Democratic plan, the Senate voted down the RepublicansÂ’ tax cut plan by a vote of 45-54. Republicans Scott Brown, R-Mass., and Susan Collins, R-Maine, voted against the RepublicansÂ’ tax plan. Sen. Mark Pryor, D-Ark., was the lone Democrat to cross the aisle and voted with the Republicans.
For Republican voters, Massachusetts must be like Purgatory. Constant suffering.

The Trotskyites took over the California Democratic party in the 1960s, and spread from there.
Ronald Reagan and Robert Heinlein tried desperately to take it back from them. Heinlein's political manual, Take Back Your Government ( still mandatory reading for active Tea Partyers ), was written to support this.
They failed.
Heinlein gave it up as a bad job, and went libertarian, and left politics. Reagan left the Dems in disgust, and got his revenge on the Trots by getting elected Governor as a Republican.

The easiest way would be stealth repeal of regulation via sunsetting. It would be easier to put say a 5 or 10 year sunset on every non-legislated US regulation, and require that "renewal" needs to be passed legislatively by congress and signed by the president.
The added bonus of this approach is it keeps congress very busy passing bills to renew expiring regulation...which limits their ability to do other damage.
It also forces rogue agencies to justify their fiat regulation to congress (and by extension the public), which isn't happening now.

I know two people put out of business by the FDA. One imported and raised dogs. The new FDA regs were so expensive he went broke. Another owned a small pharma firm. The conflicting directives of every new FDA guy who showed up were so bad he said, time to retire. Many jobs lost.

I grew up in Duval County (private school), got married and moved to DC area. When my wife and I moved back to FL, I told her that under no circumstances would we live in Duval County because I knew our kids would go to public school.

Yes, I know that Langston Hughes communist poem because my children's elementary school used to recite have the kids recite it every year during 5th grade graduation -- until I complained. Good to see the title used for a better use!
