Obamaistas, Democrats and other socialists have a touching faith in the law-abiding nature of the American People. Somehow, after spending years and years to undermine the rule of law, be lawless themselves and run a gangster government, they just somehow believe that the American People are just going to follow their rules. They also believed that the "stimulus", their rules and regulations and taxing the rich even more is going to create jobs. These people can't think beyond the first step.

Ah, no. Ain't gonna happen. They are creating a future for political violence, just like we've seen in Europe over the past century and a half of socialism.

Hitler studied the Socialist movement in Germany, which was the largest, richest and most influential in the world. He took their methods to create his German nationalist workers movement in contrast to their international workers movement.

The socialists in this country just can't imagine that others will use their techniques against them. After they destroy elections, so that elections don't change anything, people will turn from elections to change things. The top people in their movement, like a Van Jones, intellectually want the chaos and violence, because they think they will pick up the pieces. They won't like the results of what is really going to happen.

Too bad the physics just don't work

How true piytar. The arrogance which so often accompanies the ignorance of environmental activists tempts letting them stew in the fruits of their ignorance. Unfortunately, the private sector they want to handicap, creating their Marxist Utopia, so the ski resorts won't be so crowded will be what remains for my children.

What is true of wave power, which, along with tidal power, has been a useless curiosity which gets revisited every few decades, is also true of wind power and solar power. Those who've driven the Altamont Pass in California and seen the wind turbine graveyard, blades still, because the subsidies and tax shelters ran out. Many saw the two enormous Silicon Valley buildings visited by Obama in January, Solyndra, surrounded by empty parking lots, having taken their half billion dollars in May of 2010 and closed shop in November. Those empty parking lots are potent symbols of why so many of the buildings in the high tech valhalla are empty. Marxist anticapitalists are killing the free maarket and the technology which grew from it.

People have died from falling from towers, and at least one, from a flying wind turbine blade. Many have died working on low tech solar panels, falling from roofs, and thousands would die each year if we ever build commercially sized arrays with tens of thousands of heliostats in fields six miles on a side, where servicing from cranes must be done at night. The issue is, of course, the low energy flux density and intermittence of wind and sunlight which makes it is all a pipe dream, dangerous both to our economy and our citizens. For those technologies the Marxists the cost of power from coal"...must necessarily skyrocket." For Obama, though he honestly made the comment about coal plants, he really meant oil, gas, and nuclear power which growth he has killed, using his Marxist, socialist, and communist comrades in EPA and green czar positions.

We can hope the Chinese and Indians will like our temperate climates enough to use our real estate for research centers, providing some income for those remaining in California, at least enough income to allow us to purchase what manufactured goods our diminishing currency will permit us.

The Chinese and Indians will have little use for our bureaucrats, but if they buy homes here, they may be willing to employ police, fire, and healthcare services. Their engineers and scientists are generally superior to ours, thanks to our high schools. Entering graduate schools they usually have about a two year advantage, having done coursework in science and mathematics our native born and raised students only begin in grad school.

We are learning how prescient Ayn Rand was when she produced Atlas Shrugged.

If you cloned a 1000 of her, they would not know the first thing about mining coal.
The Democrats are doing everything that they can to hold back, control, hamper, regulate and steal from businesses and those who start, own and run them. Ergo they are doing everything they cab to destroy the economy.

Corporate America is winning.... they already employ lawyers, accountants, and politicians to maintain compliance. The little guy who does it themselves does not stand a chance in today’s environment.


I am not sure , what is your definition of corporate America?

It appears to me that socialism is winning.

When I was a kid, the guy next door said about a similar individual, "She could eat a peanut butter and jelly sandwich on the other side of a picket fence."

Glad you said that, and we should also abolish the I.R.S, the A.T.F and at least a dozen other Government agencys, we would find we have no financial problems.

The answer to your question is, most of them, "Because the Democrats are for the working man","My daddy voted Democrat until the day he died,so if it was good enough for him it is good enough for me."

To response to your statement, very few. Probably less than one in a thousand. That is what the Democrats are banking on.

I posted a version of this story that became a pretty good-sized thread here:

‘I’m just quitting’: A scene right out of ‘Atlas Shrugged’ in Birmingham
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2753534/posts

This story needs as much exposure as we can give it. Post it outside of FR, send it to your email list, etc.

Thatis what I have said and continue to say. I want the sobs to suffer just as they have made me suffer by inflicting the bastard on me.

And, despite what they may say, on election day, most voted for him. Hell, he would not have been elected if they hadn't.

I have a test I use, it gets one of two reactions and by the reation I can tell if they voted for the sob or not.

I say, "How is that change working out for you?" And they wil either kinda hang their head and mumble I didn't vote for him, Or I didn't vote for the bastard"
