Ridiculous News On this Day: USA BOMBS THE MOON, President Awarded Nobel Peace Prize

On the very same morning that the United States targeted the Moon with a $79 Million 2.2 ton kinetic energy bomb, Oslo Norway announced that Obama, the President of the country who just attacked the moon, would be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.

It was asserted by General McChrystal that Obama use a show of force to put the Taliban on their heels, and after weeks of internal strife, countless meetings on the matter, and public opinion polling, Obama made the call to attack the moon's southern pole.
The explosive event was seen by earth bound proletarians as they were making their way to the factories in the early hours of the morning. No military response has yet been detected from the moon, and the Taliban - lacking interest in modern astronomy or technology of any kind - was absolutely unaware of the event. No official response on the number of casualties, but it has been made clear that neither Bin Laden nor any Sr. Taliban or Al Qeada officials were injured in the attack.

Norway's response to the events of the morning was to grant Obama the Nobel Peace Prize, for his messianic ability to heal the world through touch, turn moon water into whines, and to remind him that the next time he is in Copenhagen, Denmark to just hop on a nice ferry and visit Norway too!

In other news, Obama refused to meet with 1989 Nobel Peace laureate Dali Lama, until he could meet with Imperialist Communist Chinese officials who claim the Dali Lama is a criminal for inciting revolutionary discussion over Chinese occupied Tibet. Obama stated that his snub of Mr. Lama was due, largely, to the fact that "the Chinese Government have my balls in a vice, and there is really nothing I could do to assist a criminal like the Dali Lama without the council of my rich Chinese pals."

Meanwhile, Obama is taking heat from pesky Americans who are concerned that his lack of pressure on Iran and the defunding of human rights watchdog groups are directly responsible for Iran's sense of empowerment and continued nuclear ambition. Israeli officials were left scratching their heads over the announcement of Obama's Nobel Peace Prize, and offered sincerest condolences to the citizens of the Moon after learning of their US bombardment.

Still, no official comment has been received from moon officials on the awarding of the prize, the snubbing of the Dali Lama, developments in Iran, or the recent attacks by the United States.

This story will be updated as new developments occur.

Ridiculous News UPDATES -
1. The far left is mocking Obama's Peace Prize, stating "The Nobel Committee just turned themselves into a big joke. That is some powerful hopium they are smoking."

2. It appears that the lunar attack may have been repelled by the Moon Citizens. No clear evidence of debris clouds or impact were seen from earth. This may be an indicator that the Moon will, in fact, retaliate against the US.

BREAKING NEWS UPDATE -

3. Tom at tomnation.com has just informed us that Lunar Citizen and Dreamworks Icon "Fishing Pole Boy" may be the first confirmed casualty of the US lunar attack. Dreamworks has released the following photo:


It appears that Fishing Pole Boy was last seen near the Lunar South pole, near the region targeted for the US attack. Lunar Officials led a massive search and recovery effort which was called off when fragments of a tackle box were located scattered about the southern lunar surface. Dreamworks will be releasing a statement about the loss of their beloved icon. No statement is expected from the White House, who has been very tight lipped about the incident. Fishing Pole Boy is survived by his father, the Man in the Moon, his brother, Mac Tonight, and his domestic partner, the MTV Music Award.

Deficit Spending on Social Programs Compounding Social Fall-out

$11 Trillion in US debt, the Federal Government has taken the cue that there is no need to have liquid assets when you control the printing press. In doing so, over the last decades, the perception of wealth has been superior to actual wealth... and as such, inflation of the US dollar has soared, making net wealth actually much less than mere decades prior. Standards of living are vastly improved, however, again, I submit that this is merely perception of wealth.

What is more troubling is the increased role the US government is taking in providing social programs by way of social bureaucracies. With the numbers of individuals dependent on these programs swelling, there is a simple question begin begged: What happens when the money runs out?

The old parable "Give a man a fish and he'll eat for a day, teach a man to fish and he will always be fed" comes to mind.

When the money runs out, when the system begins to shut down, you will get New Orleans circa Hurricane Katrina - where services were less than a mile away, with little "water walking", yet tens of thousands of people sat idly by yelling into the cameras and shouting into the air "WE WANT HELP"... sadly, some died as the mob idly stood by, unable and unwilling to save themselves - complete dependence on government assistance right up until the end.

When "we want help" fails to work for millions, as it failed during Katrina, there is going to be a catastrophe never before seen here in the United States. When the numbers are such that entire communities and ways of life have been established on government dependence, two things can happen when the well runs dry: One - entire communities begin to starve to death, disease overtakes the communities and they wither and die; two - they revolt and attack those who they perceive as 'hoarding' their entitled necessities.

I suppose option three is that the government gains total control of commodities as well as money, forcing government mandated crops for the "US Food Program" and government mandated occupation in support of the betterment of the nation. The full implementation of "to those based on their need from those based on their ability" - also known as the Marxist Dictum.

Regarding option one: private help, charitable foundations, and the like will step in, as they do now, to quell the hunger and aid those trained only to receive... however, the ability to sustain this level of charity will become impossible. You will surely begin to see limitless masses pining for their 'fair share' of the charity - unwilling to give back or to step aside for the next hungry mouth. Entire communities will be displaced or deceased... and it will be blamed on the inability of private charity to provide.

Regarding option two: I believe that conspiracy theorists refer to this scenario as the "race wars". Communities of inner city mobs will begin raids on the suburban area for wealth, then basics like food and water. The ethnic make-up of the cultural boundaries is clear to all, which is why the term 'race wars' is used. This civil unrest will be the final chapter in the story of the United States, as it existed as a free society.

The underlying problem continues to point toward government involvement. The establishment of sub-cultures, be they "migrant workers" or unskilled inner city welfare communities, is the horrible side effect of government social welfare programs. When the intent is to provide all for everyone, the system fails itself and the nation.

When the systems were 'sold' to the citizens of the US it was during a crisis - and remember the Obama administration taught us that no good crisis should go unused. Past crises were used to sell a "support net" intended to help folks get back on their feet... they became abused and resulted in the mess we see today - complete dependence.

In short - the money will run out... the money has run out. The continued wealth we see is perception only - the US is bankrupt and is digging faster into debt than ever before in the history of its existence. Once the money is gone, we are going to have a flood of government dependents screaming "We Want Help" - but in the end there will be ne'er an ear to listen.

Anti-Conservatism Goes Mainstream

After the Tea Parties there was considerable talk about the meaning, intent, and lasting effect of conservatives protesting the government. What is notable, however, is the majority of the coverage was negative - portraying the protests as racist, proclaiming that conservatives were simply protesting a black president. MSNBC went so far as having a lengthy discussion about the mental retardation of conservatives due to the misshapen brains which we all poses... and this is the news of our nation in this time:


As was discussed in a previous article regarding CNN reporters "confronting" protesters instead of interviewing or reporting the story, suggesting that these 100% peaceful rallies were somehow "not suitable for Family Viewing", there is a dangerous lurch in the mainstream media onto the bandwagon of anti-conservatism. In short, the "Free Media" has become the "State Media", acting as a mouthpiece for a political movement rather than a genuine group interested in true journalism. It is one thing to pick and choose stories and add respective commentary, etc. - but the "reporting" as seen in the news clip above is shameful and sickening!

The common theme for this mainstream movement is "Capitalism is Dead", or that Capitalist ideas and "corporate greed" are somehow responsible for our economic crisis. This is a fear tactic aimed at confusing and diluting the truth - used many times before to drive a populist frenzy against a political adversary.

The truth of the matter is that the Radical Left is now the "mainstream", socialism is being publicly embraced as the new face of America, and all those in opposition are being directly targeted for social re-education... first through public "floggings", and eventually through re-education camps as part of Obama's "Civilian Security Force".

America is being changed dramatically - from a society of freedom and prosperity, into one of dependency and welfare.

Anti-Conservatism has gone mainstream - with the full intent to associate those identifying as Republicans, Conservatives, or otherwise anti-Socialist as mental defects whose brains are deformed and are therefore incapable of intelligent thought.

We know what THEY think about us... and we know that they think we all need to be cast aside... there is no will or want for negotiation, moderation, or otherwise sensible reasoning. They want conservatives and conservative ideals eradicated - like a plague on our New Society...

Equally - I want, and am sure most of my readers want, the mainstreaming of Socialism eradicated...

This nation thrives on individual success - however, the generational theft is complete... the push for equal outcome through my entire childhood, and those of my generation has succeeded in re-educating our nation into one of anti-liberty, pro-tyranny subjects!

Gone is the age of state pride - as collectivism trumps localism.
Gone is the age of national pride - as internationalism trumps nationalism.
Gone is the age of reason - as fear and misinformation trumps science.
Gone is the age of liberty - as social dependence trumps individual success.

If Economic Conservatism, also known as Capitalism, is the enemy then Socialism is the new norm.

Realized are the Entitlements.
Realized are the Dependents.
Realized are the Fools.

There is a common truth, that when any system becomes unbalanced it is thrown into chaos. It is true with the mind, the eco-system, and politics. Just as a Hurricane forms from unstable hot air, the more unbalanced the temperature the more destructively chaotic the storm; so to is the political realm... when such an unbalance arises, a chaos scenario is forming in the wings.

Our nation is seeing this perceived unbalance - where an economic Socialist like George Bush is demonized for not doing enough... and future Republican candidates attempting to run to the right of GWB economically will be lambasted as the enemy of America - when in truth, as was the truth since the dawning of the Cold War - IT IS SOCIALISM AND TOTALITARIANISM WHO IS THE TRUE ENEMY TO AMERICAN VALUES.

When these ideas go mainstream, there is a question: are we losing, or we have already lost?

The answer is that we are striking fear into the heart of the Socialist movement within the Democratic Party... and their retaliation is this attempted death blow... Fortunatley for logical beings, their tactics are easily exposed and will eventually backfire - hopefully in 2010, definately in 2012. If not, then the answer becomes that it is not just we as individuals who have lost, but the nation as a whole!

21st Century America: The Era of Kings

Two Hundred and Thirty Three Years Ago a group of men gathered in defiance of their government and made the boldest statement against Tyranny that had ever been made:

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that
they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among
these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these
rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from
the consent of the governed. That whenever any form of government becomes
destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish
it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles
and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to
effect their safety and happiness

It was in these bold words that freedom from tyranny was born - liberty was ignited in the hearts of men, and they fought a King. Their freedom gave rise to 13 unique and independent countries, who then united for their survival - despite their differences.

The birth of this union was so delicate and the structure so scrutinized so as not to create a new monarchy... even the title of the leader of the nation was in dispute, so as to sound less kingly - and thus President was selected, as one who presides over affairs - not one who rules.

Wars have come and gone. States have been added. Territories have been taken by force. The Union has been held together by force. The role of the Federal Government has expanded. The rights of the states have been expunged, along with it, the rights of the people.

The Federal Government is bankrupt - morally and otherwise.

The recent "bail-outs" have nationalized portions of certain industries - further expanding the power grab by the Federal Government.

There should be no doubt in anyone's mind that We The People are no longer free - we are ruled. This is not unique to Obama's administration, just culminating in it...

Prime example - beyond the harassment and constant fear by government rulers - is the recent threat from NY Senator Chuck Schumer that specific laws will be made, and enforced retroactively, to recover government funds in the Democrat's major screw-up leading to the AIG bail-out and subsequent $165 Million bonus disbursement - the first time that laws will be made specifically aimed at attacking individuals.

It is not unique to Democrats. Senator Charles Grassley, the top Republican on the Senate Finance Committee, suggested that the AIG execs should go commit suicide.

President Obama has proven, in just 50 days, that he intends on eradicating free enterprise, eradicating the conversation on the right to life, and eradicating the right to personal protection through personal armament... among many other atrocious ills.

Democratic Leaders, namely Pelosi, are raising "troops" from foreign nations (i.e. illegal immigrants), demanding that THEY are the true American Patriots, turning her back on Americans for the sake of potential future voters - quid-pro-quo retaining her power... this amounts to nothing more than "fight for me and I will give you this nation".

Democrat Leaders along with Republican leaders have bankrupted this union, sold off security and treasury holdings to foreign enemies, and have done so with the total aim of POWER and RULE.

In the 21st Century, America has completely devolved... from a country that was born of fire and grit, standing up liberty in the face of tyranny - subjugation and tyrannical rule has now fully taken over. Numbered are the days when we can challenge our fellow citizen, for they are now our rulers.

Welcome to the Era of the Kings.

Constitutional Convention Needed to Save the States

In a last ditch effort to stop the mortgaging of our future, to restrict the role of the federal government, and to put an end to the Socialization of "Free and Independent States" (T. Jefferson), the States of the Union and the legislative branches therein must vote to call for a Convention for Amending the Constitution of the United States.

There should be no talk of "flag burning amendments" or "abortion amendments"... what needs to be on the agenda is simple:

Whereas the Father of this Nation, George Washington, the First President
of these United States declared in his farewell address that the US Government need "avoid likewise the accumulation of debt, not only by shunning occasions of
expense, but by vigorous exertions in time of peace to discharge the debts",

Whereas the increased debt of the Federal Government of these United States
violates the oaths of office, which swears to Protect and Defend these United
States, in such that the Federal Government has become too entangled in foreign
debt to ensure Domestic Security,

Whereas it is the role of one generation to secure stability for the next, and not vice-versa,

We move that the Constitution of the United States be amended to include the following text:

"No budget may be approved by any branch of the Federal Government that is
not balanced, no debt may be approved which exceeds a term of thirty years to be
paid in full"

If there is not a balanced budget amendment, the "stimulus" pay-outs and redistribution will keep coming...

If this is not stopped, I would recommend the same state legislatures to amend their own state constitutions to include a secession clause - New Hampshire and 25 other states are already considering it:

Chuck Baldwin warns of such a convention, in that NWO Liberals would see this as a chance to erase the Constitution - but what that would do is tip the hands of the Big Government Socialists, and give just cause for regional control and a return to a truer union of Free and Indpendent States...

What is the RIGHT Answer to the Economy?

I took yesterday off from blogging to really think about the $700 Billion bail-out, the role of the federal government in our society, and what needs to happen to ensure the economy survives this self-made crisis.

To start, it is necessary to understand the source of this melt-down of the lending firms. The source is not so much "greed" as it is "good intention". The Congress has struggled on economic issues in the past, attempting to do good for the market and main street, however, their constant intervention has led to the mess we are in today. So says the history books: The road to hell is paved with good intentions. That is where we find ourselves today - economic hell... or do we?

I haven't seen any run on the banks (those that are still operating). Folks are continuing to invest in the stock market - making some risky trades in order to capitalize on the shifting market. Ultimately, the market is still working - the economic fundamentals are sound in the United States, and as such, the economy will be sound as well. McCain was right. However, there is a stipulation.

The stipulation comes with the government bail-out. Bush and the Democrats keep coming forward claiming that every minute we wait is another minute that the country's economy continues to fail. Yet the only failure I have seen is nothing more than a correction in the market, and a move on the value of the dollar due to the Federal Reserve cranking out the funny money. (the value of the US dollar is currently 6% of 1913 dollar value - a loss of 94% value) The bail-out, if it is planned to be a $700Billion buy-out - which is code word for nationalization of the Investment, Insurance, and Banking industry - gives monopoly business power to the Federal Government... The US government will become a competing business who also makes the rules for the game... very dangerous.

What is the right answer?

After a long day contemplating the Constitution (yeah - it still exists, barely!), I have determined that the best plan forward would look like this:

If the economy is in trouble, reduce government spending. Pass a line-item-veto, or a "no earmark" law, eliminating pork and allowing the US to use all tax revenue to pay the military, pay the elected officials, and pay off the debt. They should all also agree to a constitutional amendment to balance the US budget each year. No more deficit spending. No more living beyond our means - as a country, or as a citizen!

The government should institute a Flat Tax, or a Fair Tax (consumption tax). This would give initial money back to the people 100% - allowing more money to exist in the free market for investment, consumerism, or savings. This Fair or Flat tax would also include Corporations. Eliminate unnecessary taxes on businesses, offering incentives for business to come back to the United States. In doing so, with a larger tax base, even at a lower tax rate, the income to pay down the debt and run the bare-bones government would increase.

Let the bad businesses fail. The need will still exist for companies to develop and fill the void. Instead of backing a bad investment, let the free market flux weed out poor choices, and encourage innovative Free Market solutions - such as self regulation (or government sponsored, so long as it works) regarding CEO compensation and fraud loopholes that currently exist. If a company makes a bad choice, I should not be forced to bail them out. Let them fail - it re-enforces good business ethics!

Ultimately, if the plan looks like it will be a pay-out, we are stuck with a bigger government, another bureaucracy, less freedom to enter the free market as a start-up (as the Government is now your competition), and a tax burden from which we will never recover!

John McCain and the economic advisers of the far right should do whatever they can to stall the bail-out. The treasury secretary, the President, and the leadership calling for the Nationalization of the economic sector are nailing the coffin of Capitalism in America.

This is a case where we pray that our leadership does what is RIGHT, and not what appears as politically expedient!

McCain in the Polls - the Palin Bump is Killing Obama

Barack Obama's moment in the limelight may quickly be coming to an end. 30+ Million viewers watched his historic acceptance speech in his extravagantly constructed Greek Theatre on Thursday August 28th.

But then came August 29th - what will likely be known as Obama's Black Friday.

McCain made an announcement that would send shock waves through the political world - He named a little known, but highly effective reform Governor from the "tiny" state of Alaska as his running mate.

Instead of replaying the Obama speech on a loop all day Friday, Obama's speech was nowhere to be found. Instead, the news media was frantically trying to cover a HUGE story about someone they knew NOTHING about. They were left grasping at straws, trying to make a story - any story... and they ended up feeling the big hurt because of it. Their anointed one was no longer the story.

Sarah Palin, the first woman on the GOP ticket, gave her acceptance speech after 5 days of constant press coverage - to an audience of 30+ Million... even though she was covered by four less networks.

It would appear that McCain chose correctly.

And McCain's acceptance speech - one week after Obama's visual and oratory dream - received more viewership than Obama.

The game had clearly been changed - and all of Obama's attacks about making a poor choice for VP, and a week of comparing his record to that of the GOP VP nominee eliminated a commanding lead in the polls and in the headlines of all the major news outlets.

Obama's choice of Biden was intended to show strength through experience - but it showed a poor choice in planning for the future of the Democratic Party.

McCain's choice of Palin was intended to show reform through ethics and values - and hit the nail on the head.

Obama's failure to foresee McCain's strategy, and his clamoring in the week and a half since Palin was named as the VP have weakened his standing with the independents, the youth, the experienced - pretty much anyone outside of the "tow-the-line" Democratic Party.

Gallup reported yesterday on the swing heard around the world - a 9 point gain for McCain and a 4 point drop for Obama in two weeks - that is a 13 point swing in McCain's favor since the conventions kicked off. Gallup is not alone. As you can see in the attached graphic, McCain is tied or leading Obama in the selection of polls making up the RCP average, giving McCain a 1.2 point national advantage over Obama, representing an average swing of 8 points nationally in McCain's favor.

Sarah Palin represents a few things -

1. The strength of the "Every Woman" movement. This is different than the other wing of the feminist movement, where-in women have to become men to compete with them. The 'Every Woman' feminist is one who represents strength AND femininity. This is the Hockey Mom/Soccer Mom crowd.

2. Vitality. Her youth and endurance represent the future of a party - one who is capable of growth and leadership over a lengthy term of service.

3. Reform. When McCain picked Palin, he made the message loud and clear - The Republican Ticket was a reform ticket! Palin has cut the throats of corrupt Republicans with the ease of a warm knife in butter, and with a smile on her face. It is this same drive for a clean government that invigorates the voters who are desperate for a different kind of politician. They feel that they have that more with Palin on the GOP ticket than the duo of Obama/Biden.

For the time being, the Underdog campaign of John McCain has been boosted with the strength of Wonder-Woman. Scoring 54% in the USA/Gallup poll indicates that the independent voter may be willing to make a bet on the future by way of a reformed conservative movement, rather than a party representing the changing style of our society.

The Palin Bump has hit the polls - and even though she is number two on the ticket, there are many voters now decidedly supporting a "Palin/McCain" White House.

Entitlement

A thought for the day: Entitlement is the enemy of liberty.

Property rights are the staple of free market, and a country of liberty. Without the ability to take ownership of property, there is no ability to freely trade in goods.

Entitlements are nothing more than the philosophy of need being equal to right... or something deserved without having earned.

So if the enemy of Liberty is a sense of entitlement, would someone please explain to me why the Government (IRS) has sent me a letter explaining how I am "ENTITLED" to a free check worth $1200? Am I really entitled to this money? What is the source? From whom did it come? Did I earn this money, and how? How do I pay it back? At what interest?

I am not entitled to free money, and to suggest that the American People are entitled to handouts from the government is little more than supporting the mentality of a welfare state.

Am I the only one who was offended by both the money and the letter?

Mayday! May Day?

When I was a tot, I remember May first as a day when we would sit around in class and make fake flowers, with the intent of leaving them on the door of some unsuspecting recipient as part of a celebration that "rung in spring"... Little did I know at the time that it was actually a celebration of communism / socialism in which we provide to those according to their needs based on our ability.

On this Snowy May Day, I am thankful that we are no longer growing up in the Cold War Era... but regretful that the latest generation doesn't truly "GET" Rocky 4... or the struggle that freedom had when faced with Socialism.

It makes me uneasy that in my class of 64 graduating Aerospace Engineers back in 2004, about half had no issues with moving to China to help China's goal of Lunar and extra-planetary exploration...

It upsets me that there is a lackadaisical attitude towards freedom and liberty in America anymore... and that "rights" are now defined as what the government "should give me" - without thought as to how the government obtained the goods in the first place (i.e. my pocketbook!)

It frustrates me that "Coming to America" is no longer a song in which the glory of America is exalted as the Right Choice and Moral High Ground in the world... Coming to America is now a right that our elected leaders believe every "citizen of the world" has, regardless of illness, intent, or ability... and once you "come to America" the government will provide everything you need... off the broken back of the taxpayer!

So on this May Day, I am remembering the communist training that I received so many years ago, as an unaware child... and I am thankful that in my life I was able to rise above the propaganda, and become a free thinking, liberty loving Conservative!
