Although he was a self avowed socilist, he at least had the understanding that Human Nature i.e.;greed, jealousy, lust, sloth, bigotry, etc. would always stand in the way of collectivism (in any form) from working.<br /><br />I make it a point to re-read "1984", "Animal Farm", & "Down and Out in Paris and London" at least once every couple of years.<br /><br />What the libtards fail to understand is, when Orwell said, "The only real differance between a bum and a millionaire is the price of their clothes.", he wasn't making a grandiose statement about the "noble poor" being equal to the "evil rich"..., he was merely observing that we are all humans filled with flaws & greatness reguardless of our personal wealth, social status, or station we occupy in life. How we choose to conduct our life is what defines us as "noble" or "evil".<br /><br />In essence, the politician who's constituancy is reliant on his/her ability to provide more hand outs (as opposed to hand ups) is by deffinition "evil" because he/she is perpetuating & increasing a poverty level caste dependand on him/her to remain in power.<br /><br />By deffinition, that's not socialism..., that's despicable!Necron99noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8993108951931633758.post-36267753339626903142012-09-30T08:54:15.517-05:002012-09-30T08:54:15.517-05:00Emmentaller, yes Fountainhead is brilliant, and MU...Emmentaller, yes Fountainhead is brilliant, and MUCH more approachable than Atlas Shrugged.

I haven't thought about the trial for quite awhile, but wasn't OJ's blood found at the scene? Wasn't his hair in the black knit cap found at the scene? Wasn't he one of the only people in Los Angeles with Bruno Magli (sp?) shoes of that design and style (per bloody footprints at the scene)? The DNA evidence should have put him away - but the prosecution team was a joke. Darden and Clark both sucked at their jobs, and Judge Ito was too tickled with being in the limelight to keep the trial on the rails.<br /><br />Regarding Greta, yes- she's good <i>and</i> cute in her intense, married, hint o' stroke kind of way.

It will be like a Mensa member debating a potato, but I digress...<br /><br />It is October 11 at 9 PM EDT. It's at Centre College in Danville, KY, so the crowd should be fairly balanced unless BO busses in a bunch of libs from Illinois. It's hosted by Martha Raddatz of ABC. On the surface, this seems like a decent choice (better than Lehrer by far), but her ex-husband is an obama appointee. I hope you didn't spew your "coffee" in surprise!<br /><br />It will be the usual crap.

Hopefully after about the 3rd time, the entire audience would be doing it!<br /><br />@Irene Peduto- Hey, liberals should LOVE Obama Sutra!

There's got to be a connection.<br /><br />I totally agree that Mitt needs to find a way to nettle "no drama Obama" to take him off message. Maybe something like "Free speech protects <i>even those things which some people find offensive</i> - like those pornographic pictures of Barack's mom."<br /><br />@Anonymous- You'll see no letting up on my part between now and election day. This is the big game, folks, and it's winner take all.<br /><br />@CenTexTim- My friend Harry Palms said that was a good joke.<br /><br />Regarding the debates, they're going to be hard to watch but very important. There aren't many opportunities for Mitt to make his case directly to the Obamites, and I'm hoping he'll score points.<br /><br />@Pete(Detroit)- Such a drinking game will have to be structured carefully to avoid actual deaths within the first few minutes.Stilton Jarlsberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14503164551782304564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8993108951931633758.post-64015763236979447632012-09-28T10:13:28.310-05:002012-09-28T10:13:28.310-05:00In addition to the excellent phrase of lying like ...In addition to the excellent phrase of lying like a prayer rug, might I also suggest spinning like a wind turbine?
