A Nod To The Gods

This is how I would.

“Politicians want office, power, and applause – period. And most sell their souls without the slightest hesitation to increase their prospects of receiving such tacky and ego-bloating ‘rewards.’ So politicians are neither courageous nor leaders. Instead, they are cowards who pander to crowds and then pretend that their typically idiotic orations to the crowds are evidence of their genius, humanity, and courage. All in all, politicians are a loathsome and disgusting lot.” Don Boudreaux

I really don’t eat fast food anymore but I can guarantee you will never see me in another Burger King. I don’t care whether you are gay or not, just keep it out of my face and my life. Burger King has decided to embrace the LGTB community so I don’t plan on spending another dime there.

There you go BK, have it your way. Let me know when you figure out you can’t keep the doors open pandering to 2% of the population who refer to themselves as gay.

The “Be Your Way” project was created at a Burger King franchise in San Francisco, where a limited edition “Proud Whopper” sandwich was added to the menu to coincide with the city’s annual pride festivities. According to press materials, guests who ordered the “Proud Whopper” found that the sandwich was the same as a classic Whooper, but came wrapped in a rainbow-colored wrapper with the inscription, “We are all the same inside.

Obama is running around the country sprinkling a bunch of unicorn dust on his useful idiots. Problem is, unicorns are not real, and neither is his bullshit.

In fact, Mr. Obama says Americans have never had it so good.

 

“Over the past 51 months, our businesses have created 9.4 million new jobs,” he said at a feel-good stop in Minnesota. “Our housing market is rebounding. Our auto industry is booming. Our manufacturing sector is adding jobs for the first time since the 1990s. We’ve made our tax code fairer. We’ve cut our deficits by more than half. More than 8 million Americans have signed up for private insurance plans through the Affordable Care Act.”

Of course, as usual with the president, none of that is true. In 2007, there were 146.6 million Americans employed. Last month, there were 145.7 million people in the workforce. But it’s all worse than that. The labor force participation rate dropped more than 3 percentage points, which equals nearly 8 million people. Now, just 62.8 percent of working-age Americans hold jobs, a dismal number that’s the lowest in 35 years. found here

The Great War has got slighted in the history books, but that may be changing. Outside the Rousseauist bubble, more and more of us are taking a fresh look at this war in the context of civilizational suicide. Watching the American ruling class feverishly try to flood the country with third world peasants in an attempt to break the back of the middle-class, one cannot help but think things are headed to a dramatic denouement. One hundred years ago the ruling elites of the civilized world tried to commit suicide. They seem to be at it again.

 

The question that naturally arises when looking at the prelude to the Great War is how did these people not see what was coming? As John points out, all of the principles were highly civilized and highly cultivated. These were not savage people lead by glory seeking leaders. The rulers of Europe were often related and certainly familiar with one another though social connections. They were highly educated men leading a class of men with much to lose and little to gain from war. Yet, the actions of a lone madman set the civilized world on fire. keep reading
