Okay geeks, what are your thoughts on this? Discuss!

Heh. Guest blogger Art Lindsey has a meltdown [podcast link - right-click to download]. It’s like Glenn Beck, but without all the weird crying.

I’M MAD AS HELL AND I’M NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANYMORE!!

I recorded a Brass Balls Radio for today with… Dr. Dawg. Yeah baby, a real live socialist on BBR!

Get the audio here.

This is likely to piss off those on both the right and the left - an amicable conversation between the far-left socialist and the right-wing extremist.

The moral of the story is that politics are politics - but genuine friendliness can go a long way.

At long last, real gender equality in the USA!

Sorry about being offline the other day. Billing problem. As in, I didn’t pay the bill. Oops. Anyway, we’re back up and running.

Oh, and there will be a Brass Balls Radio recorded this weekend.
Right now I have a cold and I’m going back to sleep. Later.

Hands up anyone who has donated to save the Haitians from disaster.

Now…

Hands up anyone who gave a flying shit about Haiti on Monday, before the earthquake, when they were still the center ring of Dante’s hell.

Yeah, I thought so.

Last night I read a great article by David Warren:

“Islamism” is thus to be taken not as religion, but as cult, or an assemblage of cults. There are other cults in Islam, as in Christianity, as in Hinduism and all major religions — each bearing some relation to the religion itself. “By their fruits ye will know them,” as the Founder of my own Church explained.

All such cults have living force, so long as they reside within living people. But I would maintain, further, that they survive, as legacy, long after the last true believer has died. Habits of mind, forged in religious experience — whether orthodox or heretical is not the issue here — pass down to subsequent generations.

It got me to thinking about Islam as a death cult, which it is. Many cults deemed dangerous to greater society are banned, freedom of religion notwithstanding. Any cult that puts vast numbers of their own women and children in danger get busted up, Janet Reno riding the gun of a tank Dr. Strangelove style, for the greater good. Children are taken in by government agencies. Possession of weapons is prohibited. Visas and other government-issued documents are withheld. But Islam seems to get a special pass.

And finally it occurred to me: There’s no money to be made from Islam on a large scale, so why should we care? The example that came to mind was Vioxx, the arthritis drug that was pulled from the market about a decade ago over an increased risk of death. People began suing Merck over heart attacks and wrongful deaths. Merck stood to lose huge amounts of money for the liability, so they pulled the drug, despite the fact that it did a world of good in a majority of patients.

We can’t sue “Islam”. It isn’t a company, it doesn’t have a financial structure or a central figurehead (unless we want to go after the House of Saud, which we apparently don’t). Islam can’t be taken off the market to keep the P&L balanced. The FDA can’t hold hearings about it. No one stands to gain or lose financially whether Islam stays or goes.

Hundreds of thousands of people (a very conservative estimate) around the world have been murdered in the name of Islamic ideology, but we still haven’t busted it up for the death cult that it is. There are no assets to be seized, so governments merely shrug and let Islam keep the moniker of “religion” instead of stating what it really is: A death cult.

More people have been killed by Islam today than were killed by Vioxx in the entire time it wasa on the market. Won’t someone please pull Islam from the shelves?

Y’all wouldn’t quit bitching about me being away. So I sucked down a bottle of de Rothschild to steel myself, and got down to bid’ness. Enjoy.

Mike and Wendy welcome guest Andrew Lawton from Strictly Right to discuss a few issues that may have flown under the main stream media’s radar. We know. Shocker.

“When the Senate takes up a jobs bill later this month or early in February, the debate will center on whether it really will create jobs and be worth plunging the government tens of billions of dollars further into debt.

Republicans scoff at the “Jobs for Main Street Act” title that House Democrats put on their $174 billion package last month. They refer to it as “son of the stimulus,” the $787 billion economic recovery plan of nearly a year ago that they say was ineffective at producing jobs.”

How does the old saying go? “Repeating the same behavior over and over and expecting a different result is the definition of insanity”, or something like that?

Well, that’s exactly what this is. Are there any sane people left in the world? Does anybody remember when they told us that the stimulus package would stop unemployment at eight percent? That didn’t happen, did it? Our government has turned into a remake of the scene from the Steve Martin classic “The Jerk”. You know, the part where he says, “I have this remote control and that’s all I need!”
However, instead of a remote control, our government says that all it needs is just another $174 billion in borrowed/printed money.

Somebody stop the world and let those of us with math skills off, please.

It is beyond obvious at this point that capitalism has been completely scrapped in favor of cracking open Monopoly boxes and handing out money. Anybody with even a rudimentary education in economics and history will tell you that this is completely counterproductive to our free market system, and that it is in fact our free market system that has made America the most powerful and prosperous nation in the history of mankind.

Jobs cannot be created by handing out money arbitrarily. For an economy to remain strong, money most circulate, and that circulation must be spurred by demand. The best way to create demand is by cutting taxes, which would by definition necessitate a cut in government spending. (Agreed, this is a pipe dream, but it is what should happen.)

When you strip away all of the econo-speak, our system is fairly simple. It basically works like this:

Essentially, when money is given back to consumers, “consumption” increases. When consumption increases, demand increases. When demand increases, businesses must expand to meet the demand, and when businesses expand, that means jobs. Real jobs. The kind of jobs that the market sustains on its own, and not the kind of overpriced, phony “shovel ready” job that only lasts a few weeks because there is no demand for what they supposedly produce, and consequently disappear because the artificially created money runs out.

It’s a proven system, and it has worked every single time it’s tried. Yet there are some in positions of power who seem convinced that a government-controlled economy is better, despite all of the historical evidence to the contrary.

Perhaps we should coin a new phrase:

You can send politicians to Washington, but you can’t make them think.
