The Presidential Candidates

Posted by Redhead on Monday, April 28, 2008 9:40:04 PM

Since my man left the race, I haven’t commented much on the presidential race. Well, for those of you just waiting with baited breath to know “What does Redhead think?” This is for you.

Like all socialists, the man scares me. What in particular scares me about Obama, though is, Who’s behind him? He spent a part of his youth in the company of a member of the Communist Party, USA. He partied with a member of the Weatherman. He’s the Soros backed Kos Kids choice. He stuck it out with a church pastor that preached hatred for America for twenty years. His wife is only recently proud of her country. His policies are atrocious. And these are his good points.

But in the end, a President can only do and know so much. He must rely on advisors and members of his cabinet to keep things going and to advise him. So, who is Obama going to place in these positions? Judging by those around him now, I’m not going to like his choices. Will these people really have America’s best interests at heart, or will they go in with political and personal grudges to fulfill? This is what scares me the most about Obama. I don’t think that he will be able to implement many of the policies he has proposed. I don’t think he has the force of will necessary to really champion the bills that will be necessary to get his way through Congress. I don’t think that he will be able to continue to blame others for playing politics, while he joins hands and sings “Koombya.” But the people he puts in key positions will be able to change the workings of the various offices to an extent that it may take years after he’s gone to recover.

I’ll just go ahead and say it. This woman is evil. I’m not just talking about the usual stuff, like I think she’s a witch. No, I don’t think that she will bring about the Apocalypse. Now, I also think that Socialism is evil. But I think that Clinton knows it is, as well. I think that she has embraced this evil. This makes her not just a useless pawn, but an accomplice. It’s this evil that surrounds her that really scares me. And let’s not forget what happens to her “friends” around her.

I think that she probably embraced this while in college. She came from a strong Republican family. She was a president of the College Republicans. Then, one day, she just changed her mind. Why? Just speculation, of course, but I think that she saw that embracing this evil was a way to get the power that she desired. She saw, as we all have, that the way to achieve political power was to tell people exactly what they want to hear, to promise them pearls, and leave them with a pearl necklace of another kind. I think that she further saw that Billy Boy was a further way to achieve her political goals. He wanted to be popular. He probably was popular. The ladies probably loved him. He was a sure fire ride to the top, with a little grooming, of course. Now she’s nearly there, and she’s using the same lessons she learned before to achieve her goals.

It seems that as the democrat party moves further toward socialism, many Republicans are determined to catch them. McCain would exacerbate this trend to an extent that the conservatives in the party would have no choice but to bail. He may appoint more conservative judges then the Democrat candidates, but even this option is iffy, at best. He will continue to fight those that seek to destroy us from the outside, but there is absolutely nothing to indicate that he would fight those within as hard.

In the end, I think that a McCain win is inevitable as the Demoncrats implode. Hopefully, he will end up a one term President, as he gets challenged and beaten in the Republican primaries in four years. I know, this is wishful thinking. It is not very likely that the Republican party of today would allow a challenger to a sitting President. The other option is that his age and health prevents him from continuing, and his VP takes the slot. He’d better choice his VP wisely, if he hopes for a meaningful legacy.

McCain is also a win-win for the Demoncrats. He will carry on their pet projects and programs, while also giving them a Republican boogie-man to oppose in the War on Terror.


So, to recap:

Obama:
Cons:  Socialist.
His appointees will likely ruin the government offices for years to come.
Pros:  A one term Presidency.
After four years of hearing “Racist!” cried at every opposition, even the MSM will be ready to be rid of him.
Clinton:
Cons:  This woman is EVIL!
Pros:  None.
McCain:
Cons:  Destruction of the Republican Party as we know it.
Continuation of the Democrat agenda.
Pros:  A one term Presidency.
Destruction of the Republican Party as we know it. I know this was a Con as well. It may be time.

So, for all of you undecided’s, there you go. Now, as for what I’m going to do, I don’t know yet. None of them have red hair, so they can't be all that great, anyway.  I don’t want to take the easy way out and vote for McCain. I’m looking at the Libertarians and the Constitution Parties. I refuse to vote for a Demoncrat, ever! Even in protest. It won’t work. They’ll just see your vote, and think they’ve won. Don’t do it!

If you must, cast a protest vote of another sort. I still think that if enough people vote for this guy, there is no way either party can view it as anything other than a protest vote. Who knows, if he gets more than 5%, we may get to hear him on national TV! I know he’s probably not registered anywhere (They’re tracking him with an implant in his head, though.), so write him in!

In Condemnation of Socialism

Posted by Redhead on Friday, April 25, 2008 11:53:13 PM

This is outside of my normal topics, and has developed over a matter of time, but the posting is also largely inspired by arguments posted on another fine TH blog. So let me begin by saying this:

I am a Christian. I was raised Baptist, and feel most comfortable in the Baptist church. However, I don’t attend church as I should, and my attendance could be described as sporadic, at best. I have not read the whole Bible through. I cannot quote scripture. As such, the following post is merely based on my very weak interpretation and my understanding. I probably should not even put this in writing, much less post it on the internet. I will probably be labeled a nut and a Bible thumper. I may deserve every bit of it.

I think Socialism and Communism are evil. Not just bad, but evil. As in God and Satan type Evil. As in the eternal fight for the souls of mankind type Evil.

There, I said it.

Socialism / Communism (For the purposes of this post, I will equate the two, and simply refer to Socialism.) rely on the suspension of God’s word. It is a system that cannot survive along side Christ’s teachings. There is a reason that most Communist countries have ended up outlawing religion, especially Judo-Christianity. The reason is that the two are incompatible. There is a reason that Christians feel prosecuted by today’s liberal agenda in America. The reason is that they are.

Socialism cannot stand alongside a system of belief that teaches that man is fundamentally flawed. We all are sinners in God’s eyes. Yet Socialism relies on the belief that everyone is equal in all ways and that all judgments are false. For this to be true there can be no Good and no Evil. There can be no God and no Satan. There can be no system of judgment outside of the state.

In America, this has presented itself in many ways. Socialism has co-opted the extreme homosexual agenda. They insist on teaching our children that any form of sex is ok, that as long as it feels good, it is good. They tell us that if you feel otherwise you are guilty of hate crimes. They say that children do not need male and female parents. They insist, in the end, of teaching our children about sex before they are ready to leave their Gardens of Eden.

Socialism has also taken on the “animal rights” agenda. They say that we are no better then the animals that we rely upon for our food, for our way of life. They tell us that God has not given man these animals to dominate and to do with as he sees fit; but to live along side with, as equals. They demand that the animals deserve the same privileges that we enjoy, that they have the same thoughts and feelings. They insist even that we should strive to become more like the animals, instead of more like God.

The Socialist agenda has also taken on the environmental movement. They maintain that man is responsible for all that ails the planet. They claim that we have sinned against the earth, not against God. They declare that because of our over use of the earth’s resources, people must die from starvation while our food supplies are misallocated. They insist that only through making the right sacrifices to Gaia can we reach salvation.

Socialism must also deny the individual. They tell us that everyone is a part of some group only, and do not see the flaw. They declare that they are reaching out to ALL, while denying the ONE. They deny the individual the right to make his or her own choices, favoring instead a group mentality. They insist that Jesus preached to the masses, and did not speak to the people. They insist that God does not come into our hearts, but into our government policies.

Socialism relies on taking from others, by force, in order to give to someone else. They persist on robbing Peter to pay Paul. They deny the role of private charity in favor of the redistribution of wealth. They maintain that taking your earnings from you by force, and giving to another is the same as giving themselves. They insist on charity in the public square, as opposed to helping others through private means.

Socialists, in the extreme form that we see around us, deny all of God’s teachings. They tell us that it is all a myth. They maintain that we do not need God. They proclaim that God is dead! They claim that we can find our own god by looking inward, instead of outward. They insist that we were not created in God’s own image, but God in ours.

This is inevitable in the Socialist system, because for the system to work, man must look to others, and ultimately to the government for his answers. If man were to look to God and to try to survive all of the trials and tribulations that life has to offer without turning to the state to solve problems for him, there would be no need for the state! If man were to look to God for his answers, then he may find that the state solution is not the right solution. If man looks to God for guidance, then he may see that the state is made up of none other than his fellow man. Man that is fundamentally flawed. Men that are sinners in God’s eyes. In the end, this is the logical result of Socialism. The abolishment of God, and the replacement of God with the state. The worship of our fellow man.

This is evil. This is the work of Satan.

Now, call me a conspiracy nut, a religious wacko, or what you will, but this is what I believe.

My brother, Karl

Posted by Redhead on Tuesday, April 22, 2008 9:58:33 PM
Note 1: This post is for those that say that “if I only knew and talked with liberals, I might find that they have some good ideas.” Or, “conservatives live in ivory towers, and all they hear are their own voices bouncing from the walls. They never get out.” Well, I have two very liberal brothers. This is the story of one of them.
 
Note 2: All names included in this post have been changed to protect the innocent. My brother, Karl, however, is not innocent.

My brother, Karl, is the smartest person I know. He’s read more books then I could hope to touch, and understands most of them. He can (or could at one time, as we shall see) converse about nuclear power or the real estate market, music or computers. He hasn’t actually done any of this, but he has read all about all of this.

My brother, Karl, is the epitome of the typical liberal. He believes in universal healthcare. He believes the Bush tax cuts only helped the “rich.” He believes that Fox News is biased, and that CNN is not. He hates corporations, the “military-industrial complex,” and George W. Bush. He is an elitist.

My brother, Karl, grew up in the same house as I did, with the same conservative parents. Somewhere along the line, however, he went bad. How bad, you ask? He thinks Hillary Clinton is too conservative, because she voted for the war in Iraq. Yeah, that bad.

My brother, Karl, has experienced life to the liberal fullest. He discovered drugs in high school, and even taught my younger brother how to get high off of a cigarette and toothpaste. When he left for college on a scholarship, he quickly returned after “getting in with the wrong crowd,” and getting further into drugs. He’ll openly admit that there was very little that he did not try. He did have sense enough to stay away from the hard core things that would get you hooked and ruin you forever, like crack, heroin, or meth. Like I said, he is pretty smart. There is a family legend that he even took off to California to join a cult. After returning home, he went to the local college and majored in liberal arts. English, or writing, or journalism, or something equally useless.

My brother, Karl, has never, to the best of my knowledge, ever worked in his field of study. He hasn’t worked much in his life, period. He was married for a while, but after being out of work for several years, his (also liberal) wife kicked him out of the house when he did finally find a job.

My brother, Karl, at least stands by his convictions. He hates people with money, saying that they ripped others off to get it. So my brother, Karl, has no money. That’ll show them! They can’t take his money! He also refuses to work for anyone that will not pay him what he thinks he’s worth. So he doesn’t work. That’ll show them!

My brother, Karl, believes that a job is owed to him. He will not go out and look. It’s too much work. He seems to expect someone to come and knock on the door (to my parents house) and ask him to come work for them for a huge sum of money for doing next to nothing. No one in the family really knows what he does with himself, not even our parents, who now live with him. (Or vice-versa, depending on who you ask. Never mind that he is the one that did the moving, when the change took place.) He refuses to work for “the man,” who will not value his intellect as much as he does.

My brother, Karl, lived in New Orleans at the time hurricane Katrina hit. He was working at a job that my younger brother helped him get. The one that cost him his marriage. Anyway, after Katrina, FEMA distributed money. Lots of money. So when my brother, Karl, gets his two checks for a few thousand dollars for all the pain and suffering he endured, even though he was out of the state when Katrina hit, what does he do? He quit his job! A job that had more work because of Katrina. A job that paid fairly good money. A job that my younger brother has since turned into another job, making very good money, for doing even less then either one of them were doing before. That showed them!

My brother, Karl, once came up with a brilliant business proposal. He did the proper research, and even laid it all out on paper, and in a spreadsheet, to show that it would work, and make good money. They trouble was, he didn’t have any money to get it started. He was not about to start smaller, and work his way up, that would have been too demeaning. So, my father takes his proposal to someone else who agrees to finance the operation. This man would be a partner, putting up 100% of the money, and would stand by and collect the return on his investment, offering his help and advice to my brother, Karl, along the way. My brother, Karl, would have no part of it. He didn’t want someone else sticking their nose in. He just wanted the money. When he couldn’t get the money for free, he quit the proposal and wouldn’t even consider the offer. He was too proud to work for “the man.”

My brother, Karl, reads a lot. He hasn’t done much, but he’s read about it. I like to read as well, but don’t have the time to read as much as he does. I’m not as fast a reader as he is, either. I have read The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, and The Autobiography of Malcolm X. (I also went to the movie. On opening weekend. By myself. But that’s another story.) I’ve read economic books, technical books dealing with my profession, political history, and a lot of science fiction. I read what he gives me, as well. He’s given me all kinds of books. Left wing political books (TWO stinking Michael Moore books, I’ve had to read!), and other miscellaneous books. (The one on soccer hooligans in England was very interesting.) So, when he was over at my house one night after Christmas, looking over my bookshelves, I thought it was all innocent, maybe looking to see what else I might be interested in. Instead he grabs some book off my shelf, and screams, “This is my book! You took this from me!” When I objected, telling him he gave it to me, he turns to my other (liberal) brother, and says, “Does this look like something he would read?” This was to imply that I wouldn’t appreciate that book, a virtual tour de force on the Japanese infatuation with western culture, I think, since I clearly spend all my time in the echo chamber of right wing political books and science fiction. As a matter of fact, I had read that book. I read it because he gave it to me. I read it because my brother, Karl, recommended it, and thought that it would be interesting. (It wasn’t, but I read it anyway.) I should have thrown him out of the house, and probably will next time, because, I had recently given him Thomas Sowell’s Basic Economics. When I asked him if he had read it recently he said, “No, I was going to, but it’s just too big.” He probably will never read this post for the same reason.

So that’s my brother, Karl. So, all you liberal losers, I do know liberals. I know them too well. My brother, Karl, is the epitome of the typical liberal. God knows, I love him like a brother, and he’s one of the smartest people I know. But he’s just so very, very, wrong in his ideas. So I keep trying with him. There’s hope for everyone.

Redhead Diversity

Posted by Redhead on Friday, April 18, 2008 9:20:04 PM

Seeing as there is a lot of money to be made in promoting diversity, the Crimson Apex Solidarity Horde is hereby going into full swing.

The Crimson Apex Solidarity Horde (CASH) is proud to announce the expansion of the project. We are hereby announcing that Redheads will henceforth be a protected minority class. We will also be applying for status as an endangered species. As such, mandatory diversity training will go into effect for you suckers oppressors who do not possess a Beautiful Crimson Apex, so go out and find a redhead today.

CASH is undertaking a national project to bring all of God’s chosen Redheaded People together, in solidarity. Our day will come! No longer will we be referred to as Gingers, Carrot Tops, Rangas, or, as so many of us are known by: “That HOT Redhead!” We are the Chosen ones! We have been held down for to long! Rise, my Beautiful Brothers and Sisters, and take your rightful places on this earth!

We are tired of being mocked by racist corporations who use our image for their gain! We are sick of the stereotypical way that others look at us as we apply suntan lotion! We will not be mocked for your entertainment, nor will we allow those who do not possess burgundy locks to falsely claim our mantle!

We American redheads are joining hands with our redheaded brothers and sisters across the pond in such places as England, New Zealand, and Australia. You American oppressors may laugh, but this real racism against our people, and must be put to an end!

God Bless Redheads!
God Bless the Red States!
God Bless the RED, white, and blue!

Diversity vs. …Everything

Posted by Redhead on Tuesday, April 15, 2008 9:55:20 PM

This is part seven, and the final, proposed topic of an ongoing series on Liberal Logic.  You can see the whole set here.

Too many that espouse “diversity” often also espouse policies that actually reduce diversity.  I’m talking about diversity of thought, diversity of opinion, diversity of actions.  The liberal position seems to be that people are too stupid to do anything for themselves, or make their own decisions, so we are going to mandate these things that we think are good for you.  Seatbelts – no dissension allowed.  Smoking – no dissension allowed.  Guns – no dissension allowed.  And these are their good points.

Like the old Soviet Union, who would have parades to show off their strong military, liberals like to stage parades to show off their diversity.  The problem is, most of that mean looking military equipment didn’t work, and neither does liberal diversity.

Liberals want outward diversity only.  They revel in people with different color skin, people who dress different, people who act different.  This is only outward diversity.  What they cannot tolerate is someone who thinks different.  They cannot abide by inward diversity.

The liberal mindset, with their focus on diversity, ends up grouping people into one of their “diverse” groups, denying the individual any place in their hierarchy.  If you are black, you are a Jesse Jackson African-American.  If you are a woman, you are a feminist.  If you are gay, you are a GLBT.  If you are from South of the Border, you are an undocumented worker.  If you like NASCAR you are a dirty, disease ridden redneck.  If you’re a Christian, you are pure evil!  But, as a noted philosopher once said, “the smallest minority on earth is the individual.  Those who deny individual rights cannot claim to be defenders of minorities.”  This is why they cannot deal with those who break their perceived classifications.  They cannot deal with a Clarence Thomas or a Margaret Thatcher.  And Condoleezza Rice really throws them into a tizzy!

The diversity mindset has taken on a “tolerance” vocabulary recently.  “We need to be more tolerant of other people / cultures / races.”  Being liberals, of course, the answer to the question of intolerance is to create rules, laws, and regulations to enforce this tolerance.  They are intolerant of intolerance!

Under the new rules, you cannot say, or even think, words that may offend someone.  Symbols become hate speech.  Where’s the diversity in this?  Where is the open and non-judgmental face of the liberal mind?  Can’t we all just get along?

The fact is, if we were all as non-judgmental as liberals claim to be, we would be in even worse shape than we are!  Without some foundation for our values, there would be no separating the good from the bad.  And there is good and bad.  There are very evil people in this world.  Of course, using liberal logic, these people are not evil, they are just misinterpreted.  If they said anything to offend you, they just misspoke.  Without preferences, discrimination, and prejudice, there would be no way to make choices to live by.  There would be no judgment of others, no criminals, no jails.  In the end, this would lead to total chaos of the type that the socialists and communists hate, with no government control.

Liberals are now taking their diversity rules to college campuses, where diversity classes are mandatory.  Mandatory classes on diversity, so everyone can be the same!  That’s classic liberal logic.  Colleges are moving from higher education, to indoctrination.

Of course, we all know that when it comes to global warming, I mean climate change, there is no dissent.  The argument is settled.  So what if you disagree with that view?  You are a “denier.”  You have no other recourse, but to sit back and wait for your re-education.  In the meantime, you could purchase some carbon debits, or start a television channel and wait for the money to role in!

So why do those that profess diversity oppose diversity of thought?  Why do they try to force their opinions on us?  Why are they so intolerant of people who don’t see things they way they present them?  The answer, my friends, is simple:

It’s not about Diversity, it’s about Control.

Feminism vs. the Sexual Revolution

Posted by Redhead on Tuesday, April 01, 2008 8:35:10 PM

This is part six of an ongoing series on Liberal Logic.  You can see the whole set here
