Washington's Wake

Posts Tagged ‘Rant Obamanation’

Crimeny Jeebus! So, Mexico allows their drug gang problem to get out of control, and now they are demanding money from the U.S. Because, get this, it’s our fault!

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said during a visit to Mexico this week that “insatiable demand” in the United States for illegal drugs was in part to blame for much of Mexico’s violence.

This money could be put to better use here at home. At the very least, use the money to strengthen our borders to keep the drugs out of the U.S. and let Mexico deal with their own problems.

I’m sick of the self-loathing, and the obsession with ‘world opinion’. It is one of the forms of ‘cancer’ that is slowly destroying my country. Once we were a strong nation, capable of helping others. At one time it was possible to help another nation out of a jam, and we were happy to do it. But soon we’ll be the one in need of the handouts, if we don’t change the direction we are heading.

I am not going to blow in a dozen links into this little diatribe right now, maybe later.

The thing that’s on my mind, I think is more general today.  It’s a mind-splinter. The Obamanation Mindsplinter – that niggling nasty relentless splinter that I can’t put my tweezers on to pull it out.  It’s a series of questions, and all of the answers are bad, if there really even are any answers.

Why anyone buying any stock whatsoever?  Obama is in the process of nationalizing vast chunks of our economy. Healthcare, Banks, Higher Education to name a few.  What investor in their right mind wants to buy any of that? Or anything for that matter. If it starts, where will it end? What happens if all of the healthcare providers go away? What happens if being a doctor becomes even LESS profitable? What happens if higher education takes the bait of federal money and becomes like the public schools?

What happens if China calls in our debt? What happens if Israel bombs Iran? What happens if Russia takes Georgia? What happens if Russia takes Afghanistan? What happens if India and Pakistan go to war? What happens if North Korea shoots off those bloody missiles, and we shoot and miss..

…

If we shoot.. and hit…

If Japan shoots

and hits

or misses

… or if we dont shoot at all?

What happens now that inflation is a likelihood with $1Trillion Dollars cash injected into the system?

What happens if OPEC raises the price of gas back up, and we’re paying $4/gallon again?

What happens if a major country goes bankrupt.. like England? Did anyone notice that news yesterday? things aren’t exactly rosy there either.

What happens if no one wants to buy any more of our debt?

What happens if Mexico falls to the drug cartels?

What are we going to do as Russia puts missiles in cuba?

Now that Russia announced the creation of an arctic army… what are we going to do in alaska.. what will canada do? What are we going to do if China pushes us out of the international waters around them? What if China takes Taiwan?

These aren’t just.. “What if’s?”

They’re not. All of these things are slowly happening, and we’re watching. We see it developing. How many of these can we stop? I don’t think all of them. And any of them could trigger a world war of massive proportions. Maybe it won’t be with guns and bombs, but trade war would be just as devastating – maybe more. Sapping our economy and our ability to create the war machine we might later need to defend ourselves.

So, why is anyone buying any stock? The market is a complete crapshoot. There is no stability whatsoever. The plan of the treasury is the biggest most expensive crock of cowdung ever presented as serious policy in the history of the world, and Wall St was relieved to have ANY plan? What the heck is that all about? How many morons can you fit on one street?

Why is corporate America bending over for the  Obamanation? Why are Americans letting corporations be vilified? Have the demoncrats so completely won the war of ideas that no one is left to point out obvious truths, like, corporations are made up of citizens? Like corporations do more good works for the needy, in total by dollar amount than the government? Like corporations and their top employees pay the lions share of the taxes?

Yeah, I Know. John Galt. Blah blah blah.

Why is Wall Street taking it laying down?

It seems to me that the fascists have already successfully divided the enemy through the use of tax-carrots and regulatory whipping. “Sure, I’ll give you campaign donation if you protect me from that tax and that regulation” And soon, we have 170,000 pages of tax code, and still, ignorance of the law is no protection.

What does this all mean? How did we find ourselves enslaved to these plantation owners.  We work for other people, and we are told it is virtuous. We earn money and it’s ok, until it’s too much. Then we’re greedy. Then we’re evil. Then we owe it to society to give back. We owe it to society to

Now the newspapers are struggling, because we do not believe them. Because we do not need them. Because we can lie to eachother without their help? The government will step in, don’t worry – they’ll save them. They’ll save them so that the slaves can read the news that the government pays for. But not the opinions on whom to vote for… no,  real freespeech is dangerous.

So, tell me, as my shackles hurt my soul, when is that moment when the masses realize they are slaves? When will the masses realize it is too late? When will the masses realize, they are slaves too?

China, Russia, Iran, North Korea – how are we any different and better than they are now? Because our laws are written more merrily? We think we have freespeech, until we realize, we don’t. We think we can gather and protest, until we realize, we can’t.  We think we have religion, until God is dead in the public square, and the slaves are nodding, it wasn’t fair it wasn’t fair, for the slaves who didn’t like God, so much.

So tell me.. how i am not a slave. Tell me how I am free.  How my money is not my money. How my time is not my time. How my ideas are immoral and my actions unconscionable. How I am a hater, because I would not give a nickle to needy family.

You can tell me all you want, but I know the gun is waiting there. The gun is pointed at me. The gun is ready to shoot me if I do not give the master his gold. the master will knock on my hovel. the master will say, you have not paid, and I will say, I need the money to feed my family, to keep my hovel. The master will put me in the shed and whip me until I give him the gold.

Yes, I am free.

But only in my head.
