“Science is the great antidote to the poison of enthusiasm and superstition.” ~ Adam Smith, Economist Extraordinaire I simply can’t shake the feeling that someday the absurdity and irrationality of our culture has to end. I have been told I am “anti-science” – mostly because I rarely take anything at face value, even when that…
HISTORY: Comparing Kristallnacht to the Occupy Campaign Recently, venture Capitalist, Tom Perkins, made a comparison between the recent ‘Occupy’ campaign and the Kristallnacht during the NAZI rise to power in 1930’s Germany. Pressure was immediately brought to bear on him for making the comparison and he has since issued an apology. But Perkins wasn’t wrong. …
Re-posted from October of 2011 as a companion to Joe’s post : Time to Leave the Republican Party? Not the first time the Repulicans wanted to be the popular girl at the dance. Listening to the Republicans talk about the #OWS movement, I am sorely disappointed that they have started to give in to the rhetoric of…
New Threats to Riot if Obama Loses Election Despite the issue receiving national media attention, Obama supporters continue to threaten to riot if Mitt Romney wins the presidential election, raising the prospect of civil unrest if Obama fails to secure a second term. The new threats continue to dominate Twitter and the vast majority make…
Have you ever heard of a man named William James, or something he wrote titled The Moral Equivalent of War? In a nut shell, James was trying to find something that would create as much political power in focusing the will of a nation and making the people willing to sacrifice and even surrender their…
…in the category of Lying Liberal Hypocrite of the Year: Kanye West! Put your hands together and make some noise for Yeezie! Two of Ye’s latest hits are here: Kanye on October 11, 2011: Kanye West today became the most famous visitor yet to the Occupy Wall Street protests as he lent his support to…
People have asked: “How did the Germans let Hitler happened?” I’ll tell you, but you have to give me the time. This is not an easy subject to write or read about, but it is crucial that it be addressed. I do not hold a degree in history, but I am no novice, either. I…
Van Jones, being the environmentally conscious leftist that he is, is recycling the #Occupy[yournamehere] hippies and the “we are the 99%” meme for one more go. Didn’t really work the first time around, did it? He wants an Arab spring? I was hoping they would find the Irish Spring. But now they have MoveOn.org and…
I am going to try to do this one using YouTube clips: Are you one of those who poo-poos Glenn Beck as a conspiracy theorist, or someone who is trying to get rich from scaring people without reason? Have you ever actually listened to any of what he is trying to warn us about? If…
I thought this was somehow funny and dripping with truth and irony at the same time. This was posted by a FaceBook friend of mine who is about my age and is sort of sick of the self-righteous and sanctimonious attitudes of the kids impregnated with the kind of elitist and entitled attitude and smug…
Over my many years of observation of people, organizational dynamics, economic conditions and situations, there are a relative few characteristics of people who are truly successful: They are intelligent – either “smart” in a general sense (able to accumulate and retain a lot of basic facts) or in a specific way (a subject matter expert).…
Flasawdust, our good friend from the heady old days of busting the chops of our mutual nemesis and general doctrinaire leftist, codename buggerthat, at the Panama City News Herald comment pages took a break from driving around in our right wing Nazi staff car formerly owned by Hitler (an inside joke) and posted the following…
In my earlier post I made a point that it appears that economic development is actually saving the Amazonian rainforest. There are some who have taken a bit of an issue with this position. Let’s think about this for a minute. Why would that be true? Actually if you think about it, it is pretty…
Here’s Adam Carolla breaking down the current #OWS “movement” in simple terms for everyone to understand. He dives into the cultural reasons that lead us into this situation, as well as the solution to our problems… Very similar to Ron Paul’s chapter on envy in his latest book, liberty defined. This is wildly inappropriate, vulgar…
Sorry about the light posting this week but this has been crunch week so far. We have had 3 major clients and 1 major potential client in our facility this week so far and I have our Subsea Group’s Senior Vice President here to visit with me and my team (my boss’s boss) – so…
“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.” – Isaiah 9:6 I had the opportunity to attend the first Christmas concert of 2011 at…
I’m sorry for being late to this party but it was a less than desirable trip back to the States – after delays and lost baggage, we are finally settled in with cup of coffee in hand and back in the game. I first thought that melfamy’s piece about Liz Warren was satire and then…
Great column by James Taranto today: The Brain Dead Left “They paused to scream at the walls of a Citibank branch.” To our mind, that sentence more than anything we’ve read encapsulates the spirit of Obamaville. It originally appeared in a San Francisco Chronicle story about an incident in which “dozens of college students” invaded…
No – not microbiology. STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics graduates. Kenneth Anderson, writing at one of my favorite legal blogs, The Volokh Conspiracy, has brilliant piece on why the Sara Lawrence graduates in African Studies can’t find a job: As Generation Jobless tries to figure out where its job possibilities went, we…
Was it “What political system has killed more people than any form of government for $1,000, Alex?” Nope. According to Naomi Klein, author of the radical anti-capitalist, anti-globalization, anti-freedom books like “No Logos” and “Shock Doctrine”, it is “What do we need to solve all of the world’s problems?” Naomi is a perfect model of…
