Thank-you !
Great article.
Mark for later reading
That means that 57% of Americans are clinically deranged. On every measure - the stock markets, corporate profits, employment, inflation, spendable income, take your pick - the US economy is doing astoundingly well. How can people possibly disapprove? Yet they do. Because they are spoiled brats.
What is the defining characteristic of a spoiled brat? Ingratitude. And the defining characteristic of Big Journalism is exactly the desire to deny credit to those whose courageous decisiveness merits credit."It is not the critic who counts . . . the credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena - Theodore RooseveltAnd the self-same ingratitude is manifest in the socialist idea. Socialism is utterly inept at developing new products and new means of production because the entire premise of socialism is founded on mere second guessing. The socialist wants to take over succesful businesses, but will not even discuss, much less take credit for, the failed business ventures. The socialist is able only to identify the businesses which have succeeded, not those which will succeed. Give the socialist power, and he will destroy the process by which new products are developed.They want to do that now in the prescription drug field. Knowing, after the fact, which drugs are successful, they argue that the production of those particular drugs - even including the cost of testing and marketing them - are far less than the prices the companies charge for them. Neglecting the cost of all the failures which nobody knew beforehand would not be the successes. Limit the profit of the successes, and you reduce the number of successes because you reduce the number of failures, which alone lead to the successes.
That means that 57% of Americans are clinically deranged. On every measure - the stock markets, corporate profits, employment, inflation, spendable income, take your pick - the US economy is doing astoundingly well. How can people possibly disapprove? Yet they do. Because they are spoiled brats.
I wouldn’t chalk it up to 57% of Americans being nuts, but that 57% of Americans believe what is feed to them on the evening news.
That's been my impression.
Good morning....
"He received his Ph.D. in Philosophy from the University of Southern California, where he lectured on Aristotelian ethics.
In the 1980s he conducted a series of extensive visits to anti-Soviet guerrilla insurgencies in Nicaragua, Angola, Mozambique, Ethiopia, Cambodia, Laos, and Afghanistan, and to democracy movements in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union, becoming an unofficial liaison between them and the Reagan White House. Based on his experiences with anti-Soviet insurgencies, he developed the strategy for dismantling the Soviet Empire adopted by the White House known as the 'Reagan Doctrine.' It worked.
He has traveled to over 180 countries and all seven continents, leads 2 to 3 expeditions a year, is a consultant to a number of international corporations on geopolitical strategy, and to a number of Congressional offices on issues regarding political and economic freedom throughout the world and in the United States."
That's from a web site about him. He's a brilliant man.
Pretty much the only effort we as citizens can give to the war effort is our support and fighting the enemy within. And we can't make any mistake - Congressional Democrats are the enemy within.
Thank you Janey. I am bookmarking it to send to others.
It looks like a fascinating article. Thanks, Miss Marple.
"The day of the speech (1/23), a Washington Post/ABC News poll announced that 52% of Americans disapprove of Bush's handling of terrorism, when we have not suffered a single terrorist attack in the over five years since 9/11 - and that 57% disapprove of his handling of the economy."
That means that 57% of Americans are clinically deranged. On every measure - the stock markets, corporate profits, employment, inflation, spendable income, take your pick - the US economy is doing astoundingly well. How can people possibly disapprove? Yet they do. Because they are spoiled brats."
There's an old saw that says in a democracy, voters get the leaders they deserve. Bush disproves it - for in him, voters are getting better than they deserve. If they got what they deserved, they'd get Hillary Clinton, and may very well in 2008."
My tagline sums up the clinical derangement of the Bush Haters on both sides.
Great post. Thank you for posting it. Wonder if a sub-headline "Bush Stands Alone" might get more readers. Hope Rush sees it.
This is quite possibly the best article I've read on FR ever. Thanks for posting it. We are indeed a nation of spoiled brats.
I am going to try to bump it every hour or so, in the hopes that a few more people will see it.
Oh I don't know. If we lose, the muslim cells in America will rise up and we will experience a lot of blood shed. We will experience tortures so exquisitely horrible, as to be unbelievable.
Military letters and indorsements have not changed one bit over the years. chuckle
There are even people, mostly lefties, who say with a straight face that the Carter years were better for the economy than what we have today.
Thank you for this article!
Amen and Amen. What a wonderful post. Amen.
