Andrew Breitbart Forces Protesters To Fold Up Shop At Right Nation 2010! Founding Bloggers

Found this on a 9.12 message board and decided to share it with you.  I tend not to pin all of the ills of the Progressive movement on President Obama.  The President is a part of and a symptom of the ills we face as a nation, not the sole cause.

Andrew Breitbart Confronts Hateful Protesters At Right Nation 2010
In the name of 'ending the hate' Democratic Party Protesters use homosexual slurs against Andrew Breitbart, and engage in name calling, using terms like 'crazy' and 'tea baggers' in their political discourse.
These Alinsky trained Progressives were organized and delivered by President Obama's and the DNC's Organizing For America, and the SEIU.

How to Ruin a Free Market Society

Frequently I hear people question why I believe that capitalism and free markets are the answer to the woes of the US economy.  Their understanding of economics is as good as mine.  I am not an economic expert, but I am a small business owner and I have loads of experience with the ‘run by the seat of their pants’ governance and regulations that drive all business owners nuts.  Notice that I didn’t say small, medium or large business owners.  Because the constantly changing rules of the road are a large part of the problem that ‘all’ business owners deal with.

As business owners we endeavor, everyday to comply with the ‘rules of the road’ as laid our by our local, state and federal governments.  Each time we ‘think’ that we’ve managed to resituate ourselves into a successful model and be in compliance with the new regulations, taxes and fees; “BOOM”, they change them.  This is not the ‘free market’ working, this is government medaling into the private business models through the interjection of regulation for the purpose of economic, social planning.  The public is told that this new regulation will protect them from some evil of the private sector.  The reality is that in most cases the private citizen is not negatively impacted by the capitalist system, but by the immoral actions of political collusion with private industry.  What do I mean by that statement?  For profit private business (or possibly a non-profit private/public business) work in collusion together to create regulations to force their competitors to follow their model, fight the new rules and be fined or go out of business.  The parties working in collusion, typically sell their idea to the masses as; “For the collective good”.  But, the reality is that they are nudging society towards their idea of ‘the collective good’.

This behavior is the antithesis of ‘free markets’.  Friedrich Hayek showed the great minds of socialism, back in the mid 1900’s, that unless competition is fostered and encouraged in economics,it  will always lead to ‘large centralization and control’ of markets and thus , lead the people to tyranny.

True free market principles of ‘creative/destruction’ have not been followed for decades.  People, naturally, do not want to see failure for themselves or others.  What they fail to remember is, that by not allowing the act of destruction to happen, they deter the act of creation to occur.  The end result of this is a failure to grow and improve ourselves and our surroundings.  It is through the confluence of government and private business, that free markets are hampered and eventually choked off.  The natural cycle is for people to see a problem and to find a solution to that through creative thought, trial and error, with the eventual result in finding the best practices to produce as a result.

The more we resist the warm and fuzzy emotions of ‘for the collective good’, keep politics and business separate of each other, reduce regulatory restrictions on the rights of private citizens to work and produce, the more we will foster and preserve the ‘free markets’ that produced the strongest nation in history.  If we are looking for perfection or nirvana, we shall come much closer to this ideal through the free markets than progressive socialism could even dream of.

A Portrait of Evil: “George Soros”

George Soros.  George Soros. George Soros.  Normally I don’t post entire articles from other publications, because I believe it is important to drive my readers to the site I found the information I choose to share.  The following article breaks my rule, because it so correctly portrays this ‘evil’ person.  If ever there were a waste of human tissue; that is George Soros.  Please read the full article and PLEASE share it with everyone you know, because this is the evil we are fighting to retain, regain and restore the United States to the dream of ‘every’ American Citizen.

Yours In Truth  ;-)  Shelly

Roger Simon and Roger Kimball of Pajamas Media recently wrote some articles on George Soros.  You can find them here and here.

George Soros is a leading financier of the far left wing establishment.  If you are far left wing in your views, you ought to know who you are getting into bed with.

“George’s father Theodore tried to change the family’s fortunes by changing their name to something less Jewish-sounding. It didn’t help. And soon war came.

When the Nazis took total control of Hungary in 1944, the Holocaust followed. In two months, 440,000 Hungarian Jews were deported to death camps.

To survive, George, then a teenager, collaborated with the Nazis.

First he worked for the Judenrat. That was the Jewish council set up by the Nazis to do their dirty work for them. Instead of the Nazis rounding up Jews every day for the trains, they delegated that murderous task to Jews who were willing to do it to survive another day at the expense of their neighbours.”

In the Ottawa Sun, Ezra Levant gleans this gem about Soros past,

“No feeling of guilt?” asked Kroft. “No,” said Soros. “There was no sense that I shouldn’t be there. If I wasn’t doing it, somebody else would be taking it away anyhow. Whether I was there or not. So I had no sense of guilt.”

A Nazi would steal the Jews’ property anyways. So why not him?

That moral hollowness has shaped Soros’ life. He’s a rabid critic of capitalism, but in 1992 when he saw a chance, he speculated against the British pound, causing it to crash, devastating retirement savings for millions of Britons. Soros pocketed $1.1 billion for himself. If he didn’t do it, someone else would, right?

In 2002, Soros was convicted of insider trading in France, and fined millions of dollars. He admitted buying the shares, but denied it was a crime.

Last year, when he made $3.3 billion off the banking collapse, he called the world’s financial crisis “the culmination of my life’s work.”

This is a man who boasted he offered to help his mother commit suicide. Apparently he didn’t see enough death in Hungary.

However, in spite of how despicable Soros is as a human being, ignore it. What motivates him? Why does he cast his lot with the far left?

Soros is hyper competitive. He will do what ever is necessary to win. He doesn’t care what or who he leaves in his wake. No loyalty to causes, Soros can be bought. If you were playing a simple board game, Soros would cheat to win if he thought you were getting an edge on him. Winning at all costs is what motivates him.

Soros made his money in the capital markets, but it was simply convenient. The siren song of the capital markets is that you can quickly take a small pile of money and wind up with a fortune. You only have to be right, and have good timing. In Soros case, he injected himself into the inside. When he made millions trading stock, the trades were inside trades. When he made billions off the drop in the British Pound in 1992, he didn’t put the position on without knowing intricate inner workings of the British government and financial authority. He never takes a shot in the dark.

Soros is entirely without emotion. Great traders are able to assimilate information and act unemotionally on it. Along with having some of the greatest inside edges in human history, Soros looks at data and churns out a trade. Investors in his funds are investing in that, and in his connections. His ability to worm into top levels of governments is valuable.

No action undertook by Soros is random. When he donates money, it’s for a purposeful endgame. When he grants an interview, it’s to send a message, or to try and shape something. It’s entirely about himself and winning.

What is the one concept that all hard left ideas have in common? Central planning. If Soros can turn the American government, and economy into one centrally planned place, he wins. He will control it and feather his nest. Crony capitalism will reign, and he will be the biggest crony.

Freidrich Hayak wrote about “the wisdom of crowds”. This is a very dangerous, possibly debilitating, concept to people like Soros. No one man can control crowds. The Tea Party movement has no central leader. But it has a persistent viral idea that is an anathema to a person like Soros. Free will and a marketplace of ideas. Individual rights over the rights of a central government. No central planning.

Decentralization unleashes randomness in markets that drive people like Soros crazy. It makes it much harder to compete. It increases the amount of risk on each trade. It’s much less valuable to be an insider. It’s much harder to cheat and win the game.

However, in the history of markets, decentralization always increases the standard of living of people over the long term. It accomplishes this task over the long term much more efficiently than any alternative. Innovations are unleashed. The entirety of humanity is lifted up.

Soros isn’t interested in any of that. What’s good for George, is good for everyone.

George Soros & NAACP Fear the Grassroot Organization of ‘The Tea Parties’

The best compliment to the grassroot Tea Party movement is to watch as Progressives like, George Soros and the NAACP, flail about to denigrate normal citizens and patriots of the United States.  Does one really think that these people of supposed high intelligence are incapable of understanding that the people who support and work for the Tea Party movement are grassroot?  If they were not, does one truly believe that this bona-fide, irrefutable evidence would not be splashed on every front page news paper of the world?  So, in true paranoia they have started a new ‘Teapartytracker.org’ website.  Okay George, like two cannot play that silly game.  When anti-patriotic types show up at Tea Party events, like all garbage, the Tea Party cleans its own house.

NAACP, Left-Leaning Media Groups Form Tea Party Tracking Site

Published September 02, 2010

| FoxNews.com

(TeaPartyTracker.org)

A new website sponsored by the NAACP and left-leaning media operations is seeking videographers and bloggers who will search out "racism" and "extremism" among Tea Partiers.

Teapartytracker.org will feature tweets, interviews with people at rallies, blog entries and a picture of a t-shirt they say someone spotted at a rally that reads "Blacks own slaves in Mauitania, Sudan, Niger & Haiti."

The site, sponsored by the NAACP, Think Progress, New Left Media and Media Matters for America, will monitor "racism and other forms of extremism within the Tea Party movement. We call on the Tea Party to repudiate extremists among their ranks and join in civil dialogue with all Americans."

The NAACP and other groups have accused the Tea Party of several instances of racism, including spitting on a black congressman, Rep. Emanuel Cleaver, D-Mo., on Capitol Hill as he went to vote for the health care bill.

Whether the spitting incident, which was caught on tape, was intentional remains subject to debate. Nonetheless, the narrative has remained a continuing theme of Tea Party critics.

The site's logo is also an old aphorism, apparently meant to suggest that monitoring the Tea Party will prevent the group from becoming more effective. "A watched teapot never boils," it reads.

City Council members propose $25 fee for garage sales in Dallas

Insanity has run amuck in US politics.  When cities think that they can and should balance their debt by taxing garage sales, but will not cut funding for frivolous spending, where can we go mentally?  The shortage of will power to renegotiate public employee contracts, halt projects that are not deemed absolutely necessary to the publics safety, privatize as much of the public sector that is not covered in city, county, state and federal charters & constitutions, lower taxes to keep the dollar in the private sector longer, lower payroll deductions to raise ‘permanently’ the working stiffs take home pay…well it’s just astounding.  America, get off your couch and vote this year.  Call the candidates and ask them what they plan to do to balance their budget at home.  Then ask them how they plan to balance the public budget.  If their only answer is more taxes and fees, move on to their opponent and ask the same question.  If no one on your ballot can answer that question with a modicum of intelligence…please consider running for office yourself.  This country is starving for people with common sense, faith and a deep understanding of why the US Constitution, Bill of Rights, State Constitutions, City and County Charters are to be restored to their original strength.  To protect ‘We the People’ from the government, so that we may self govern for life, liberty and the pursuit of property (happiness).
