If we take into account the broadest implications of President Obama’s disastrous domestic and foreign policies, a few strategical revisions for America’s future are in order. The following presents a fairly clear and comprehensive roadmap for helping the United States become a more freer, more prosperous, and securer nation.

1. The U.S. should act in its own self-interest first and foremost as a political mandate determining its foreign policy grand strategy.

Nothing forthcoming should be alleged to be in advocacy of theocratic government, a fusion of political and social power repressive to those minds not disposed to believe in the invisible or the not easily demonstrable, and an arrangement of civil government laid to waste during The Enlightenment. But it should be noted the role religion plays in reinforcing the bases of moral authority in the state.

The following is a passage from the Scottish philosopher David Hume’s A History of England. A relatively early section on The Britons, strewn with citations from eminent first hand sources like Julius Caesar and historians of the caliber of Tacitus and the Venerable Bede, makes explicit the necessity of crushing the religion of a conquered people in order to make them obedient and useful servants of the state.

Firstly, let us consider the role of the Druids among the Britons in preserving the social and political order. In this caste resided considerable power, and its functions were varied and vital to the tribe. [Continued at Rogue Government]

Sometimes the holiday season does come early. For the Green Grinches intent on stealing our freedom, along with a whole lot of our dough, a bevy of swiped emailgifts being dubbed Climategate II released near midnight the 21st promise a different kind of Cyber Monday for the multi-billion dollar climate fraud industry.

Among the Who-pudding and roast beast is a feast of political-scientific incest exposing the lucrative business of warm-mongering. The examples are many, but a sit down with a cup of coffee and an eye to examining the political assumptions behind the climate “science” can be revelatory for even the non-specialist (like all of those lawyers and rights activists who participated in the first IPCC).

President Obama’s 2012 election campaign is breathing new life now that he has finally tied “Zombie Candidate,” whom he has trailed since the debt ceiling debacle, and is closing the gap on Tweety Bird, Box of Crayons, and Can of Spaghetti Os.

Here are the latest numbers from Public Confidence Polling (PCP): [Continued]

The foreign, the alien, the unfamiliar is held out by the American left as one of the main causes of social conflict. Those citizens who stubbornly believe in their own particular ideology or creed are thus held out as particularistic, selfish, dogmatic, bigoted, chauvinist, jingoistic, and xenophobic.

But most Americans are not opposed to changing their system of government and moral code because they are afraid of the foreign because it is foreign. [Continued]

America is the UN’s playground. Literally.

The consortium of Islamists, socialists and assorted despots intends to buy up a lot reserved for Robert Moses Playground, a perfect place for the American left to try to set up their one-world daycare state.

Is this the sandbox where we’re all going to learn to share our GM trucks, like Obama chided us to do? [Continued]

The right should not be celebrating the NY police pepper-spraying and incarcerating around 100 protesters who spontaneously showed up to oppose Wall Street banksterism and support a more “just” economic system.

Sure, they’re new wave hippies. And sure, they’re a variety of commie, with their chants for “social justice” and their legal representation by the veritably communist National Lawyers Guild. [Continued]

Conservatives tend to ignore pop music and see it as frivolous junk cluttering up the airwaves.  But a closer look at the culture industry reveals it as an insidious piece of the totalitarian puzzle, as potent as any bullets or bombs could be in forcing Americans into collectivism, if not more so.

Before explaining why and how the music industry is an implemental part of the left’s scheme to demoralize America, let’s set the stage by looking at the first ten songs of Billboard’s Hot 100 in the Pop category for the week ending 9-17-2011: [Continued]

The long decade after the country’s most traumatic event in living memory has been rife with war and upheaval. The terrorists did not win on that clear Tuesday morning in September, soon clouded over with billowing smoke that soon teared up Americans’ eyes. But what has ensued is a fog of uncertainty, swallowing up a nation unsure of its place in the world, and its direction heading into the future. [Continued]

The left’s new tone is taking it to the next level – quite literally. Now if you’re a bored union thug you don’t have to beat up tea party sons-a-bitches in person after a long day sipping beer on the job, you have a whole new way to vent your hostility towards those making outrageous demands like “pay your own way”…you can virtually shoot and hack them to death!

In the hot new first-person shooter “Tea Party Zombies Must Die,” you are tasked with ridding the world of undead FoxNews fiends and dastardly Koch brothers. Recent college grads with lots of time on their hands might find the game so addictive they won’t even have time to sort their socks and put them in the basement hamper like mommy wants. Which reminds me – hey mom, how bout a hot pocket? Stat! [Continued]

No one disputes that our lives are better because of technology. Most of us love the convenience that comes with GPS technology, electronic banking, I-phones, and laptop computers. The computer and the Internet have expanded the realm of free speech and have allowed people all over the world to communicate relatively freely. But we should not conflate such technological convenience with personal freedom. Along with advancing communications technology comes the threat of the advancing state. [Continued]

American politicians today seem to think themselves invincible sovereigns who can toy with the fates of three hundred million people and there is nothing the latter can do about it.  They blow the taxpayers’ money with no regard for the country’s future, endlessly meddle with the economy, and brazenly flaunt The Constitution that grants them any power to begin with.  The same hubris that causes politicians to ignore the laws of economics leads them to ignore political history.  This is not just to the nation’s peril, but to their own.

While reading an academic article on Karl Popper constructively criticizing “The Open Society and Its Enemies,” I encountered an extended section on John Locke and his contributions to solving problems of sovereignty, political order, and legitimacy. The implications of the passage are worth noting because Locke’s principles are foundational in their influence on The American Constitution. (Along with Montesquieu’s principles of divided powers.)

The world stage can be a lonely place.  Absent the vacationing President Obama, whose sojourn in Martha’s Vineyard is even peeving the local residents, Uncle Joe has verbally tapdanced from engagement to engagement in full media spotlight.  And boy, is our vice president a dim bulb.

Normally, frothy-mouthed leftists and seething-mad patriots would be transfixed on every contrived-to-be-soaring, shopworn syllable of America’s father of lies, someone whose cloud of deception is so thick one can actually smell the sulphur whenever he enters the room. And normally, somewhere behind the billowing smog of obfuscation and half-truths accompanying this slight and slippery presence we call president stands a little man, whose upturned eyebrows, wispy hair, and diminutive stature strikes one as perhaps the relation of Ming the Merciless. It turns out to be Biden the Brainless, as it were. [Continued]

Billionaire Democrat bankroller Warren Buffett is hosting a $38,500 a plate fundraiser to get Obama re-elected and thus ensure the death of free market capitalism in America. Consider it a capitalist last supper for the socialist messiah Barrack Obama.

Why a fabulously wealthy investment wizard would conspire with ardent leftists to undermine the economic system that made him a fortune is a bit of a mystery for most. But billionaires in America are more prevalently voting with their wallets for market fascism over market capitalism. [Continued]

The American flag is under attack.  The reference to “God” in the Pledge of Allegiance is under attack.  And now the very Pledge of Allegiance itself is under attack.

Part of the communists’ plan for subverting the country is to remove loyalty oaths and other expressions of patriotism from the public sphere.  One could probably point to all of our nation’s serious troubles, show how each problem relates in some way to communist subversion, and document it, but instead I will provide some sources for the reader to put the pieces together himself.

Once upon a time there was a land called America.

Built by hard-working men with their bare hands and with grit in their teeth, it was a nation of steel beams and bursting silos.

The workday sun would break cold and wan over the fields of flaxen straw, its watchful eye beckoning men to a day full of toil and sweat. A cup of coffee, a kiss for a loved one, and a hard hat grasped on the way out the door.

Combines would crawl the face of the earth. Barges would drift down the nation’s arteries. Gray behemoths would smoke and churn across the land on iron rails too frail to hold the heaving land back.

Then something happened. [Continued]

It has been remarked that the definition of insanity is repeating the same behavior over and over and expecting a different result.  That’s true, but that’s also the definition for stupidity.

We spend like there’s no tomorrow – and if we keep it up, there won’t be.  We tax businesses into extinction.  We measure our economics in terms of compassion instead of productivity, never quite noticing the inverse correlation.  We witness our once-bustling cities being transformed into dilapidated welfare hubs, surrounded by collapsing industrial infrastructure and sprawling shanty towns.

And yet, people continue to vote Democrat. [Continue]

Note: This post was re-edited due to people not getting the satirical aspects of the post.  There was a clash of register between the attempts at humor and the depressing subtext. A lack of a redeeming message also undercut any positive effect.  It is always important to provide a solution when pissing and moaning about a political problem.

Introduction: The Fatal Assumption of a Capitalist America

Socialism and capitalism are the two great political ideals of our age. Despite the horrific experience of communist regimes and the formal dissolution of the failed Soviet Union, socialism has not lost currency in American intellectuals’ imagination.

While the great majority of Americans, who are practical-minded and appreciative of the lessons of history, rightly associate Socialism with authoritarianism and poverty, the intellectuals of our era acknowledge no such failure of Socialism. This is because they have not yet been the ones in charge. These supposed masterminds study socialist regimes not with an eye to why they have failed, but as to how they can be improved. The American intellectuals’ tendency to assume the moral superiority of Socialism insulates them from any introspection beyond the theoretical bounds of socialist thought.

Freedom and capitalism have been assumed by Americans to be the omnipresent, invincible, and eternal characteristics of their country, if simply through patriotic sloganeering alone.  The erroneous assumption that “it can’t happen here” has given the socialists virtually free reign to commandeer institutions that can implement Socialism from above.

America’s stunning decline, a reversal of fortune we citizens are supposed to presume is a spontaneous turn of events, is as precipitous as it is pre-planned. What appears to many as a natural, organic process of cultural decay is actually the result of ideological warfare carried out by the left for decades.

Our civilization is thoroughly saturated with cultural marxism to the extent that we less conscious and introspective Americans are like fish that do not know they are wet. The moral content of nearly every cultural phenomenon is almost undeniably leftist, and its mode of expression is often designed to frustrate rational thought or defy analysis.

The technological advances in mass communications brought about greater empowerment of the individual to communicate with his fellow man. The information revolution stood poised to bring about the insights of The Enlightenment to all mankind, and thus to undermine the ideological bases of state power. But these technological innovations also provided powerful tools to the state, and its facilitator, the collectivists to manipulate what they refer to as public consciousness.

[Continued]

America was founded with the sage advice of its first president to beware not only of foreign entanglements, but of domestic factions.  But what if there were no factions, no discord, no internal strife, only unity in the one party that truly represented America – “the Democrat Party”? What would America have looked like as it developed?

The political opposition to nationalized healthcare within Congress is conspicuous by its absence. Despite the presence of widespread and deep public opposition to “Obamacare,” many politicians are pretending like the upcoming election is not a referendum in some aspects on big government power-grabs like nationalized healthcare.

A Rasmussen Reports poll conducted on July 4th, 2011 found that “53% of Likely Voters at least somewhat favor repeal of the health care law, while 39% at least somewhat oppose it. This includes 40% who Strongly Favor repeal and 29% who are Strongly Opposed.”

Despite this level of public opposition, politicians are tending not to run on the repeal of Obamacare. Part of the explanation for this disturbing state of affairs lay in Congress’ exemption of itself from inclusion in the healthcare system that it would legislatively impose on the citizenry at large. President Obama’s waivers for mandated healthcare coverage continues the trend of the political class issuing arbitrary exemptions from this law.

After an ideological slumber of nearly half a century, an international fascist alliance has formed under the green banner of environmentalism and like a swarm of locusts threatens to devour everything in sight. Professional looters of all stripes have suddenly and miraculously appeared upon the scene unveiling an objectively pointless carbon tax, as well as mendicants for the swelling coffers taken up for the new religion of manmade global warming.

Like nature, history can be cyclical.

All religions have their prophets, and the environmentalist left surely has theirs. But unlike prophets of non-secular religions, these charlatans preach asceticism while luxuriating in the bounties of capitalist-industrial society. When you are the latest Jesus Christ Superstar on the scene, words and deeds are besides the point.
