To the American left who worship Chairman Mao, Che, Castro and State Capitalism aka fascism it’s all just a bunch of fun and games. Grown people going into the streets to throw rocks at the police or yell and scream. In America for decades if you were a “radical” it meant a nice government job where you punched a keyboard all day, attend various meetings acting like you were important, and pretended you were contributing to a better society when in fact government workers are lazy parasites looking for a cushy job with benefits.

We all remember in high school during our indoctrination sessions our desire to be a “radical revolutionary” and “different.” We were taught corporations are evil and government was good. We needed to side with government to discipline those evil capitalist pigs.

CBS Liberal Reporters Thought the Egyptian Revolution was all fun and games until Lara Logan was repeatedly raped in a crowd of demonstrators.

We have these idiots here in Orlando. They are everywhere. Fat ass ex-county commissioners who never meet a tax hike they did not like. Living the high life on their $120,000 a year pensions railing against social injustice and the virtues of a “progressive” agenda. Most never having worked a productive day in their life like our president. Most not having a clue what it is like to create a job, a building, a road, or a bridge. To them these things just appear out of thin air magically at the wave of their hand and command.

Big business panders to their every whim and desire making the government slugs feel like royalty. It is good business. And so we end up with a pampered, spoiled privileged class of government parasites and corporations that pander to them. And this is how revolutions begin. A out of touch government, a peasant class highly taxed both by taxes and inflation from a bloated fiscally irresponsible central bank and government. Marie Antoinette-Obama cruising over to Spain, eating her arugula salads and ribs, preaching revolution and living like the pig she is off of other peoples sweat and labor. So much injustice and contempt from the privileged government class and their contractors towards the “little people.” And the fuse explodes.

It is all fun and games until people start dying

Wars and revolutions are unpredictable messy affairs. Just because Saul Alinsky or Mao says it happens this way doesn’t not mean it will happen that way. These fat pigs in government are playing with fire. The end game for them is more taxes and power. Their fat cat corporate buddies want more contracts and money.

These fake radicals “for the people” think it is all fun and games. While the peasants starve the government fat cats want to build a new government multi-billion dollar choo choo train. Why not some pyramids? According to government thinking a broken window adds to the economy just as much as food production. Why not a pyramid right smack in the middle of I-4 in Orlando. It will add jobs and create wealth using government logic. Why pay the peasants? Who needs all the little people? Let them eat free health care.

Now we have Google executives playing the role of a new revolutionary like their hero Che. Yea all fun and games and now Lara Logan is screwed up for life and 300 people are dead. These revolutions can be quite messy affairs and they never turn out the way the instigators envisioned. Unfortunately for the fat asses milking the system for $120,000 a year in government pensions information is the equalizer. May the best most organized group win. Power to the people.

Around 300 dead in Egypt unrest: UN

The Tea Party movement came onto the national scene a little over a year ago about the same time as Glen Beck made his television debuted on Fox. In that short time both have raised from cult figures to national forces to be reckoned with. Beck has provided the public with much needed information that is easy to understand about the fascist nature of both the Democrats and Republicans. 41% of voters believe the two major parties are so close in philosophy that a third party is needed. With the grass roots organization by the Tea Party and the defeat of Martha Coakley in the Massachusetts senatorial run off the Tea Party is about to receive a lot of unwanted attention from the two major political parties.

Martha Coakley a better looking Janet Reno

The second attack will possibly be penetration and sabotage. The Palm Beach Post reports Orlando Attorney and Democrat Fred O’Neil recently changed his party affiliation to Tea Party and will field Tea Party candidates in selected congressional races. O’Neil states “We want to get one — but only one — conservative candidate on the ballot in November” in each race. “Sometimes the candidate that the Republicans put up is not a true conservative.” But many are questioning his motives suggesting he will be trying to split the conservative vote in Democratic congressional districts between a Tea Party candidate and the Republican. This would create safe districts for Democrats and foil any upset bids. Palm Beach Post staff writer Tim Dunkin argues that the Tea Party is better off taking over the Republican Party and not forming as a third party.

Florida Republican Senate candidate Marco Rubio

The third avenue of attack will be from the Republican Party. Republican candidates will use the Tea Party movement to advance their political careers. Two politicians come to mind. The first is Palin. She will be the key note speaker in Nashville. She is on the record on the Glen Beck show as having stated she will not charge for the event. What is her motivation? She declined a chance to speak at the Conservative Political Action Conference or CPAC. To me it’s pretty obvious. She is sending a strong message to the Republican establishment that she may run as a Tea Party candidate in 2012. Flashback to 1992 with Bill Clinton winning with 43% of the vote and Ross Perot 19% of the vote. If Palin runs as a Tea Party candidate she will get that 41% of the vote and then some. The Republican Party will be the third man on the outside looking in. Anyone who thinks this lady is dumb is delusional, a tool or dense.

Incumbent Florida Governor Charlie Crist and Republican Senate Candidate

The most recently supporting a high speed rail line to nowhere known to us locals as Poinciana south of Kissimmee. I can just see all those retirees and cowboys paying that $5 to go to the big city of Sanford. It was a pure pork project designed to get $2 billion in federal funds with no thought of where the line would have been utilized to its fullest advantage. With a little planning and political heat the line could have connected Orlando International Airport to Disney, Sea World and Universal Studios. It would at least stimulate the tourist industry. As it is it will cost federal and Florida taxpayers billions and utilization by the public will be limited. The death blow to Crist and his senatorial campaign and the rise of the Tea Party favorite Marco Rubio. Without the Tea Party this revolt would not have been possible.

Rubio’s motives may or may not be pure. But who is to say a young candidate like Rubio comes on the scene and just replaces an older candidate with a more established track record? The grass roots Republican Party using the Tea Party to clear a little dead wood and get a better candidate with a better chance of winning in position? Rubio is of Cuban decent and speaks fluent Spanish. Republicans need all the Hispanics they can get. Looks like it already happened. I would be dismayed and shocked if Crist wins this primary.

The point being is that the Tea Party can be a long term force or a flash in the pan. It will get attacked and used from all sides. Democrats, Republicans and the press. Welcome to the big show. The Tea Party needs to get more centralized at the national level to organize what its goals are. The main goal of the Tea Party should be to become independent of the Republican and Democrat Party. It should work with both parties when it is in their interest but keep a safe distance.

What the Tea Party leadership needs to remember is that 44% of conservatives ARE NOT Republicans for a reason. For me personally as a Libertarian I disagree with Republicans holier than though attitude about abortion. Abortion should be decided at the local level by the local people. I disagree with their attitude about gambling, prostitution, spending, social security, Medicaid, education and every other federal program they and the Democrats have inflicted on this land. Let the locals set up the types of communities they want and go away with your bible thumping patriots. Live free or die.

A lot of Democrats dislike their party just as intensely as I do Republicans. They hate the hijacking of their party by the radicals. They hate the deficit spending. They may be compassionate and want to help others but would rather do it at the local level where they can have direct access to the politicians spending the money. Maybe they support the Tea Party because they see no alternative to bringing back the Democratic Party to its roots before Woodrow Wilson when they truly were the party of the people. If the Tea Party becomes the lap dog of the Republican Party they can kiss any Democrat support goodbye.

What conservatives and liberals need to realize is both parties were hijacked by progressives at the turn of the 20th century. Teddy Roosevelt (R) and Woodrow Wilson (D) changed the parties into what they are today. There is not a dimes worth of difference between them and both are dedicated to dictatorship over the masses.

Scott Brown upset the establishment in Massachusetts

The correct course for the Tea Party would be to stick to its principals of limited government as outlined in the constitution of the United States and the elimination of the Federal Reserve as it is currently configured. Ignore wedge issues designed by politicians to create brain lock in the electorate like Global Warming and abortion. Ignore all other political distractions and concentrate on the core mission of returning the nation to the constitution and federalism. It’s that simple.

Field candidates as needed. There is no need to apologize for taking Republican votes. Republicans don’t own those votes and if they lose a few elections then so be it. Republicans got where they are because they have no principals. Let them suffer. Sooner or later if they don’t shape up the Tea Party will replace them. This argument that the Democrats will win every election if the Tea Party runs a candidate is absurd if the Tea Party appeals to the natural instincts of liberals to avoid a police state. All the Tea Party has to do is effectively communicate that message to liberals. Sooner or later liberals will wake up and see how their party has been over run with fascist that are taking them for a ride to the gulag.

What would I do if the Libertarians suddenly got 41% of the population supporting them? I would kick a little ass. Both parties deserve it and I would show no mercy. Raise money and field candidates. If the Republicans want to work together fine do it on equal terms. Same with the Democrats. Don’t be anybody’s bitch and kick some ass.

My 2 cents on the comments on http://usa-wethepeople.com/2010/01/random-thoughts-on-palin-beck-and-obama/#comments

I watched all of the recent Palin interviews. I am sorry to say it appears she is getting a little conditioned to media attack.

Her main strength is who she is … people tune in on that. They do not care if she winks, hugs or says “you betcha”.
Those trying to polish her up and mold her into a politician are DEAD WRONG. Let her remain a diamond in the rough … give her her head … she is like a fine racehorse that instinctively KNOWS HOW TO WIN AND HAS THE HEART FOR IT.

Those who think she is stupid are TRULY THE STUPID ONES.
When you hear someone call her stupid respond with a “YOU ARE THE STUPID ONE!”
A spade is a spade and we are all watching our USA tank because of the politically correct whining hacks and those who choose to learn from them.

What Sarah Palin understands is LIFE IS HARD … no one promised easy here so you better buck up little buddies if you are going to survive to thrive. How many of us forgot that in the raising of our kids? Personally from day one I understood Dr. Spock was a wingnut and his advice for bringing up kids was in left field. I tossed his book for fools ONLY.
So we have a generation or 2 primed for the government taking care of them and thinking its great. What they do not all quite realize is THEY GET TO PAY?

As for Beck … when you have hit bottom there is literally no place but lateral or up. Beck had the metal to choose up and the key? To daily be grateful for the experience, knowledge, and understanding to change.

How many of us can say the same?

I have few words for Obama.
He knows exactly what he is doing and it is intended.
He is a narcissist and anyone with that malady is nothing at all under that facade. I am not sure who made him … what I am sure of is sooner or later we will all find out.

Last let me say this to those willing to use the RACE CARD BULLSHIT:
IF BARACK OBAMA WERE WHITE HE WOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN ELECTED!

As I watch Glen Beck on television and radio personality Robert D. Raiford of the John Boy and Billy show struggle with economics and the different messages they get from economic “experts” I will struggled to explain in layman’s terms as best I can. What is really going on with all these economics and why the information is so different from one source to the next? I will do my best to make what is occurring as clear as possible.

Glen Beck struggles with the concept of the Federal Reserve and its Chairman Ben Bernanke printing trillions of dollars and the inflationary damage it will do to the economy. To understand his motivations it’s necessary to go back in time to the Great Depression and John Maynard Keynes.

During the 1920’s the stock market had a huge bubble as we all know that burst in 1929. Everyone blames the Great Depression on the stock market. But for Mr. Bernanke and thousands of economists we know that’s false. Government actions make a routine cyclical recession into a worldwide depression eventually leading to the rise of Hitler and WWII. The average unemployment rate under Roosevelt in the 1930′s was a catastrophic 17.2%! One of the great if not the greatest tragedy in human existence only rivaled by the Black Death that swept the world several times in the 1340’s, killing 30 to 60% of Europeans as well as the 17th and 18th century plagues. Unlike the plague the depression and world war was totally man made catastrophes.

What the government did to make a regular cyclical recession into disaster was three huge blunders. On the federal level Hoover and Roosevelt raised taxes on the rich from 25% to 63% then Roosevelt to 79%. Sound familiar? Hoover increased federal spending 55% on various government projects like the Hoover Dam. Sound familiar? George Bush did the same with the wars, education and drug programs for seniors. Roosevelt further increased federal spending with his New Deal programs, increased business regulation and increased taxes on the wealthy. Sound familiar? Hoover raised tariffs 41.5%. Sound familiar? Obama was battling it out in the primaries bragging he could raise tariffs the fastest. It’s as if Bush and Obama are following the script of Hoover and Roosevelt to a T.

And one aspect that is lost in all this is the Federal Reserve did some truly asinine moves with the money supply. When the recession hit the Fed decreased the money supply 27%! Ouch! The exact opposite of what should have been done. Later in 1937 the Fed doubled the reserve requirement again throwing the country into depression. Monumental blunders that were not lost on Bernanke who studied the Great Depression during his college years.

Bernanke is determined not to repeat the blunders of the past but is going in the opposite direction with a vengeance. And here is where economist differs in their approaches.

Bernanke and democrats in general are students of John Maynard Keynes the great Leviathan economist during the 1930’s and 40’s. These Keynesian economists believe, although they will deny it, that government and people of superior intelligence such as themselves are equipped to deal with all the economic problems of the world. Super smart people like Bernie Madoff, Chuck Schumer, Michael Milken, Bernard Ebbers, Dennis Kozlowski, and Kenneth Lay from all walks of life feel entitled to rip off or impose government policies on people because they all have a underlying contempt for the unwashed masses. They feel superior and entitled to power and privilege.

John Maynard Keynes was fond of tapping his two fingers on the desk when conducting business hearings during WWII when contractors begged for government approval to raise prices to keep up with ramped inflation that was occurring on the black market of the time. The money supply was up 121% but inflation must have been a figment of these contractors’ imaginations. The finger tap on the desk literally represented his signal to his colleges that the head ant on top of the hill was signaling with his antennas to his comrades below that the shit was about to roll down hill. In other words he thought the person pleading was full of shit. This disrespect for contractors and their companies is blatantly apparent to readers of Keynes. And that is why so many politicians are drawn to Keynes. Central planning and a feeling of superiority and privilege over the stupid ignorant masses that are too stupid to see the big picture.

Radio personality Robert D. Raiford complains of Keynes “paradox of thrift.” Essentially this theory states that if we all save our money it may be personally good for us as individuals but is bad for the economy. Raiford, a highly educated man with a master’s degree, must have received some pretty bias economic education and like millions of Americans struggles with even the most basic understanding of the subject. The problem with Keynes is his theory like so many of his theories doesn’t hold up to reality. Increased savings go into banks. Banks are in the business to lend money in normal times. Someone will borrow the money and spend it. Second if everyone saved prices will drop. People would start to be attracted to lower prices and spend. Even the biggest savers in the world have a marginal propensity to consume. Raiford because of economic ignorance prevalent throughout society fails to connect the dots and discard this Keynesian myth.

And there you have it. A lot of economic disinformation is being taught and used by politicians, personalities and even our Federal Reserve Chairman. Mr. Keynes did a lot of good brilliant work on developing a national economic model overview referred to as the Gross Domestic Product. He is an economic giant and his concepts are taught but he was wrong on the paradox of thrift, liquidity trap and many of his depression era theories. Our Federal Chairman is a strong follower of these theories. God help us all.

Liquidity trap. What is it and why is it significant? A liquidity trap is a situation in monetary economics in which a country’s interest rate has been lowered nearly or equal to zero to avoid a recession. Sound familiar? Our Federal Funds rate or commonly referred to overnight rate of lending, is currently 0.20%. And no one is lending. The market is not stimulated. Banks are keeping assets in short term cash accounts and avoiding long term investments making the recession worse. Mr. Bernanke is reliving the same liquidity trap that Keynes experienced in the 1930’s. So Mr. Bernanke is telling all those who will listen to pump trillions into the economy to get the economy moving again. And there you have the well intentioned motive of Mr. Bernanke although like Keynes the well intentioned theories will prove to be a monumental disaster for the country.

Why are banks really holding out? Politically you could argue the dysfunctional nut jobs in Washington DC are destroying banking confidence with crazy bail outs, buy outs, insane tax policies, insane mark to market accounting rules and you would be partially correct. The politicians in Washington are a disaster. And it’s both parties. Both parties need to be retired to the ash heap of history along with the Whigs, Federalist and Bull Moose political parties. The Democrats and Republicans of today are completely and totally incompetent to do anything. The federal government should be frozen and stored away in some deep freezer only to be thawed out after the adults have cleaned up the mess they created. So yes the political situation is hurting the economy. But that’s not the major reason banks are holding out.

Banker being bankers are looking at possible future inflation. Why is this so important to a banker? Bankers have been burned so many times by government it just comes naturally. In the 60’s and early 70’s banks made low interest loans only to be burned by inflationary federal government and Federal Reserve policies that created inflation in the late 70’s and early 80’s. Bankers made 5% loans in 1973 only to see loan rates climb to 9% in 1974 then 18% in 1981. The inflation rate went from 3% to 15%. So if you’re a banker and you made that nice 5% loan for 30 years guess what? Eight years into the loan the inflation rate is 15% and you’re in the red. Your books are a disaster full of low interest loans and you either have to go out of business or make very high risk loans to recoup your massive losses. And this is what happened to many savings and loan companies that lead directly to the savings and loan disaster of the late 80’s and early 90’s. It was bad government fiscal and monetary policy leading to the destruction of hundreds of lending institutions and the loss of thousands of jobs. The government created the Resolution Trust Fund to clean up the mess it had created.

Then after the S&L mess was cleaned up we got the Community Reinvestment Act, Sarbanes-Oxley, Freddie Mae, Fannie Mac and political backstabbing. Banks were forced to make bad loans by the government to unworthy borrowers, Fannie and Freddie buy and sell toxic assets throughout the banking and financial system, AIG and other politically connected firms buy the toxic assets by the billions for political favors from Washington.

Bribes, payoffs, bonuses of every kind imaginable were made and the system crashed. Insiders on Wall Street demanded payback for the bogus paper coming out of Fannie and Freddie and then came the bail outs. Fraud and chaos once again perpetrated by the politicians in Washington. These robbers just cannot resist the temptation to screw with the banking system of America with their insane schemes. It’s like the crooks and mafia joined forces with the police and are ransacking every bank they can get to.

And now the final blow to bankers’ confidence. The Federal Reserve assisted by Congress pumps up the monetary base from $800 billion to $1,800 billion. Bankers being bankers are not the stupid twits all the Keynesians in congress think they are. They can read the Federal Reserve data. They can do the math. They are bankers. They passed business calculus and accounting in college unlike our idiots in Washington with their political science degrees of useless information. Would any sane banker make a loan at 5% if the inflation rate is going to be 15% in a couple of years? Gee let me think on that one Mr. Frank and Mr. Dodd. It’s really quite simple to clear thinking bankers and anyone else paying attention. Only blundering politicians and Keynesian economists who think they can pull a fast one over the dumb business bumpkins are fooled by this buffoonery.

So what is the real deal? Economics is part science and part psychological. Having a communist educated idiot in the White House and a bunch of thieves in congress is not the way to inspire confidence. What would I do?

Cut federal spending. The last thing the economy needs is more idiots spending taxpayer’s money. Privatize social security, eliminate all aid to seniors and cut them a check every month and let them deal with it. Billions and billions would be saved in useless bureaucracies and more importantly the money would go to the people. Get rid of the departments of education and housing. Complete and utter waste of money if there ever was one. All the money in the world isn’t going to make a dumb kid smart.

Take away the power of the Federal Reserve to set any kind of interest rate. Batting 500 in baseball is good but not when it comes to banking. Leave the banks alone to charge what they want to for interest rates. As a safeguard pass an act similar to Glass-Segal limiting banks to no more than 5% market share in the United States. Not needed but it will make the monopoly conspiracy theory people happy. It’s past time to strip the Federal Reserve of its power over interest rates.

Cut the corporate and capital gains taxes to 25% and 10%. Sending a signal that comrade Obama is not going to pull a Chairman Mao would be a nice gesture to the folks who actually work for a living.

Better yet get a flat income tax and get rid of all other federal taxes including tariffs, corporate and capital gains. Do that and the boom will last a decade or more. Everyone who wants a job will have one. Private markets and employers actually work for a living. Government is nothing more than a thief or at best a referee.

And that is the fundamental differences in economist. The demand side Keynesians believe they are superior and resort to government power and money to bully people and businesses around. Their policies lead to disaster time and time again. Fascist, socialist and communist are drawn to the economics of Carl Marx and John Maynard Keynes.

The supply side Milton Freidman types believe in free markets and little government interference. Adam Smith in his book Wealth of Nations back in 1776 pretty much captured the magic of free enterprise 223 years ago. Nothing really has changed much. Nations that pursue free economic systems prosper and those that don’t get poor. It’s not complex.
People claim Wall Street greed brought down the house of cards. Nothing could be further from the truth. Washington’s constant meddling in the banking system decade after decade brought it all crashing down. Why the banks? Well because as Willie Sutton said “that’s where the money is.”

And what is in it for politicians in the long run to destroy the economic system of its country? Besides the obvious political power and pay offs where will all this lead? Inflation will destroy elderly independence and wipe out the middle and upper middle classes. Obama wants a classless society. Inflation is the quickest way to get there.

Socialized medicine will lead to rationing. Who will control the rationing? Government. Favored political groups like minorities and gays will get preferential treatment as they do now with so many government programs. The elderly reduced to poverty by inflation will see the most severe rationing. No money no power. Dictatorship. Just as Roosevelt and Keynes enjoyed during the height of WWII.

And the ironic thing is the people will praise Obama just like they did Roosevelt when it’s all over. I guess it would be similar to John McCain praising his torturers for quitting the torture. It sure does feel good when they quit breaking your arms doesn’t it John?

And there you have it Mr. Beck and Raiford. I strongly urge you to read up on libertarian principals and economics. Freidman, Smith, CATO, Heritage and the Libertarian Party are and always will be sources of inspiration. Tomas Payne in his Common Sense pamphlets need to be reprinted and distributed to all freedom loving Americans.

The world is a different place than it was in 1929. Information passes quickly to the masses. If I and millions can see for ourselves what is happening to the monetary base there is hope. We can remove the tyrants from power. As Mr. Beck states this isn’t a Republican or Democratic thing. Both political parties are moving in the same direction, total power. They are fighting over the spoils of power not differing principals. Both parties need to be removed from power and social engineering needs to be put at the state and local level where it belongs.

If Mr. Beck or Raiford read this insipid little blog I hope it helps. Don’t Tread on Me.
