OWS Goes Viral and Fungal, Plus More Random Thoughts




A fungus among us
Occupy Everything has become a fungal problem. The media talks about crony capitalism as the driving force of OWS, but that's a mistake--it's an oxymoron to put the two terms together. Cronyism is the problem, capitalism is not. Capitalism is the system where goods and services are provided for more money than it takes to provide them; it's that simple. Cronyism, like Obamaism, is when a system that is in place is abused--in the former, it's capitalism being abused, in the latter, it's the presidency.



Do you know what hypocrisy looks like?
People who protest capitalism are losers. Worse, they are spoiled losers because they are used to being handed things by mommy and daddy and are not used to actually going out and working for "stuff." They have iphones, computers, Kindles, maybe even student loans, and a place to live--often at their parents' home, but they never actually went out to work themselves to pay for their "stuff." They are not willing to hunt the food they eat--they expect to be able to shop for it (more likely have their benefactor parent shop for it) and cook it for them in a mass produced oven or microwave oven. Everything they own or eat is obtained by them through the vehicle of capitalism. Yet they condemn the system that feeds, clothes, and entertains them. They protest at Rupert Murdock's home but not George Soros, the leftist, anarchist, anti-American atheist who has bet against the American economy at the expense of it.

This only goes to show what idiots the OWSers are--but if you're reading this, you likely already are aware of that fun fact.


The big question is, will the fact that the Democrats are supporting and kissing up to the OWS full metal jackasses, hurt them or help them come 2012? I believe it depends on how many confused liberals will vote. (I know that confused liberals is an oxymoron, but I had to say it.)

Obama said that he wanted to bring the country together, not split us apart. He seems to often do the opposite of what he says. Just a few days ago, he praised a judge's approval of a $1.2 billion settlement for black farmers brought by a judgment against the USDA, which he called "another important step forward in addressing the unfortunate chapter in the USDA's civil rights history." This call to color awareness is common with Democrats as they so frequently use the race card with Republicans. But Democrats never admit anything about their racial issues when it makes the media. When Shirley Sherrod made the news (Fox News, that is), with her racially motivated statements about a white farmer, this tidbit was glossed over by Democrats. You may remember her words, but I posted the video here to refresh your memory, in case you forgot what she said. Racism is an ugly thing that goes both ways, and Obama and his administration, exploits it to the max.


Since Abraham Lincoln first began the USDA, which he called the "people's department," it has had a strong Democratic leadership, especially of late. Dan Glickman, a Democrat, headed the agency under Bill Clinton's administration.  In 1997 a class action lawsuit was filed by Timothy Pigford, a black farmer, for discriminatory practices. So if Obama is going to speak to racial discrimination, he ought to speak about his party, the party responsible. That isn't to say Republicans are blameless, but certainly in these cases, the Civil War, and most others, they are.  But Obama would never want to split Americans apart by party, so I suspect he just forgot to mention that little piece of information.

I heard that Herman Cain has come back in support of his 9-9-9 plan. I think he's right to defend it as such. To tweak is weak, I always say. Well, okay, not always, but in this case I believe he needs to stand by his idea, even if it isn't exactly the numbers that will work--the public doesn't want a wishy-washy flip-flopper--we have one already. I also like that Cain stood behind Martin Block, his campaign manager, who took a drag from a cigarette at the end of an ad for Cain. Obama might have thrown the guy under the proverbial bus, as they say, but Cain simply said that it was "Martin being Martin." The guy has character.

I strongly believe that whoever wins the Republican nomination should be supported by all of us who want to get the country back on track. Socialism is not working, in spite of what our fustian leader says, and splitting us apart as a nation is not going to make our country better.
