BECAUSE THEY HATE THEMSELVES

Now let me be clear.  I am not suggesting that all liberals are Joseph Stalin, or Michael Moore.  Last Sunday I did and article on THE LEFT’S TREATMENT OF PRESIDENT BUSH.   I will say that the margin of extreme liberals are larger than the extreme conservatives.  Simply by nature, conservatives don’t want to be extreme about anything.  That’s why they’re called conservatives.  Liberal by definition means “More”.  As in MORE government.  But let me get to the root of liberal ideology.  Liberals are almost always waging an inner war within their souls.  The sad part is, they don’t realize it.  But because they can’t come to terms with their inner conflict, they are quick to engage in vile, vitriolic behavior.  (Not letting the facts interfere with their rant).  Winnie (Winston Churchill) whom I loathe quoting once said: “If you’re not a liberal in your 20s you don’t have a heart.  If you’re not a conservative in your 40s, you don’t have a brain”.

There in lays the root of why liberals hate conservatives.  Conservatives claim to hold themselves to a higher moral standard than the liberal.  This also explains why when a conservative backslides, the liberal media is quick to show hundreds of slow-motion replays like when a president gets shot on film.  I say I am not painting all leftists with the same brush, but you can certainly paint a majority of liberals with one wide brush.  Unfortunately you can paint the fringe lefties with a slightly narrower brush.  It’s a principle as well as a scripture from the Bible that “darkness” hates “The light”.  Conservatives have come to the conclusion that it’s easier to live in the light than to go through life hiding your indiscretions.  This is another reason liberals hate conservatives.  If you happen to be gay; chances are it’s your self imposed shame (and society to a certain degree) that makes you want to be a “liberal”.

HOLLYWOOD LIMOSINE LIBERALS

The difference between a Hollywood millionaire and a self-made former blue collar Millionaire is that one feels guilty about his or her millions while the other feels thankful for his or her “success”.  Again, the inner self hatred needs to be dealt with.  (That’s if they have a conscience).  If not, they just pretend to be social liberals yet like Michael Moore, will talk crap about Halliburton yet invest in it.  But most actors want to come across like they care for the little guy.  It let’s them sleep at night.  But if you’re an “Occupy Wall Streeter”, don’t you dare pitch your tent on Barbara Streisand’s front lawn. (Out side the gate of course).  They will have you removed like an old piece of furniture. The smart Hollywood star will respond: “I’m really not into politics”.

FINALLY THE HONORABLE LIBERALS

There was a time when the Democrats championed civil rights.  This was after decades of being pro-slavery. Remember, it was a republican that did away with slavery.  Talk about hypocrisy; while President Johnson was getting us deeper and deeper into the Vietnam War (M.I.C connections) Martin Luther King Jr. was endorsing the anti-war movement.  Dr. King said he didn’t want to get involved in war politics, but was forced to take a position.  He tried to side step the issue by saying the money that was being wasted (Not to mentioned the young Americans)on this “conflict” could be used for social programs.  But that’s one of the left’s dirty little secrets.

Still, there were those who meant well.  I was a big supporter of Bobby Kennedy.  Bobby saw the injustice of racial discrimination and was not afraid to address it.  Yet I believe that today, both Bobby and Jack would have been considered “moderate republicans” (Romney comes to mind)  Those who actually picked up their cross and marched in Selma with Dr. King risked their lives for the cause.  In 1967, the war for civil rights was won.  Many of the liberals who championed the cause were now “Out of work”.  What followed was the worst kind of politics perpetrated on America.  The race baiters like the Jesse Jacksons and Al Sharpton (who never marched with Dr. King).  The ACLU which was once a righteous organization lost its’ purpose.  Without the us against them paradigm, the Left has to create the  adversity it once fought against.  Income inequality is being served up by this president as a travesty.  Yet he never mentions it when he campaigns in Hollywood.  (But I digress) We are seeing the Pat Caddells and the Doug Schoens standing up against the new “Progressives”.  These are people who believed in the message of human fairness.  If you want financial equality, go to Russia or China.  The old Democrats are starting to see what is going on in the 21st century DNC.  Even Juan Williams appears more like a WWE wrestler when it comes to playing the “Democrat” on Fox News.

THE AVERAGE LIBERAL CONSTITUENT

I think the average registered Democrat today falls into the group of kids that never did fit in.  Again, they haven’t quite gotten to the point where they want to be over achievers rather than under achievers.  I didn’t become a Conservative until I left the military and had to pay my own bills with no help from anyone.  So lower taxes meant more of my money in my modest paycheck that I got to keep.  I saw first hand how “Reaganomics” got us out of a huge recession with double digit inflation in the 70s.  I saw it work and from what I saw; minorities no longer had to sit in the back of the bus.  But the DNC in the 60s stood for equal “Human Rights”.  Today it stands for European socialism which is impossible because you run out of “other peoples’ money.  So it must convert on the national scale to communism.  (At least that’s what Karl Marx said)

 SPORTS, TV, MOVIES AND MUSIC

It wasn’t that long ago that Americans sat next to a fire and the Dad told stories to the family for entertainment.  If you were fortunate enough to have books, you could find a place all by yourself and escape from the chores of being a hunter or a gatherer.

In Europe, entertainment had a head start and the same jesters that entertained the king would try and make a little extra bread (Literally) entertaining the peasants.  Centuries before settlers were making a noise with their harmonicas and banjos, Mozart was writing his symphonies and Bach was writing waltzes.

If you want to go back 2000 years before the American settlers; Plato and Socrates were writing the most profound thoughts, concepts and ideas about life.  Meanwhile on the Yucatan Peninsula, the Mayans were creating star charts, pyramids and one heck of a calendar.

Yet, if you take all of the knowledge and entertainment up to the 20th century from Bach to Hendrix, it would be a fraction of the inventions and life changing devices that would come out of a place in the South San Francisco Bay called Silicon Valley.

Oddly enough, when technology came out of Mountain View California, it took several entertainment industries with it.  It changed the world and not entirely in a good way.  Every form of entertainment can be put into 5 gigabytes of memory on a phone, the thing that use to hang on your wall.  In the mid-1990s, record stores started going out of business.

About the same time, the price of a theater ticket went from $3.50 a show to almost $10.00 for a movie that would be on home video in 3 weeks.  Of course in 1980, cable TV was in almost every household showing movies that had been released 3 months earlier.  It also was the new venue for boxing events.

In 1980, Radio, (Both A.M. and F.M.) took big hits as “Music Television” (MTV) broadcasted music videos 24/7.  Radio no longer had the audience it once had as the video was more fun.  Unfortunately, as the Buggles sang in the very first MTV video broadcast: “Video killed the Radio Star”.  Now people could see what Joe Jackson looked like.  This was not necessarily a good thing either as some of the greatest writers and singers were really unpleasant to look at.  It also gave those who were blessed with good looks a chance to charm young fans in spite of their “auto-tune” voices.  It also raised the stakes of being a Rock Star.  You couldn’t just have a good song, good looks and you had to have a good video.  Many weak songs were driven by great video production.

Then 1985, 80% of the country owned a Video Cassette Recorder as the price dropped from  $700.00 for a crappy top loader, to about 250.00 for a new Sony front loader.  Soon Video Rental stores popped up.  You could stay home and make your own popcorn for 50 cents and buy a six pack of soft drinks for under 2.00 dollars.  Now that theater popcorn (with the yellow saturated 30 weight oil) and your big gulp will cost you about 12.00.  But you could now watch movies in your underwear and drink alcoholic beverages in the privacy of your own home.

Kids use to wait anxiously for the 3:30 bell in school to race home and grab their ball, bat and baseball hat.  A bunch of kids would meet at the park and play 3 flies up.  Or you would go over to your friends’ drive way and either play one on one hoops or “Around the world”.  If you didn’t have friends, you could go to the handball court and play tennis with yourself. (against the wall).  Kids got plenty of exercise before the machines.  Now they race home to see who’s on their favorite server to play a point and shoot video game.

Speaking of Sports, almost all of the sports took a big hit with modern technology from “Steroids” to the large Flat screen”.  It was recently discussed in a panel on television about being at the Super Bowl versus watching it on TV.  It was no contest.  Most of the panel enjoyed the modern television’s first down and line of scrimmage markers as well as inexpensive but better Nachos over sitting in the cold with 60,000 screaming drunks.

Humphrey Bogart

Personally, when it comes to baseball, I agree with Humphrey Bogart: “A Hot Dog at the Ball Park taste better than a steak at the Ritz”.  I might add, now days they cost about the same.  My only complaint is having 7 to 8 people touching my food before it gets to me.

Only one sport is not meant for TV.  That sport is Hockey.  It has nothing to do with the “ambience” but everything to do with camera angles.  You just can’t see what is “about” to happen while watching hockey on TV.  I will admit that replays of the goals are a nice touch and most if not all hockey venues have a replay screen.

Now you can watch music videos on your phone with the YouTube App.  You can watch a whole hockey game on your index card size screen.  You can book a flight and a rental car all from the same index card size screen.  I can get a 10 day weather prediction from the Weather Channel App.  And of course if you want, you can get porn through your phone anywhere you can get a cell tower signal

  .

Now you can actually have virtual sex.  A company has created special underwear that enables your friend to call you on your phone and the phone will send a signal to sensors near the “Intimate” parts of your body causing a sexual response.  I think that says how far our culture has come and gone. (No pun intended)

We are quickly heading towards a “Matrix” culture.  We no longer exercise our bodies or our imagination.  We care to much or not at all about our appearance.  Our “Profile Pic” has become more important than our wardrobe.

Personally, I think it will be most entertaining should an EMP (Electro-magnetic-pulse) explode in the atmosphere and everyone be forced back into the physical world and have to survive by hunting or gathering. (The Wild Wild West V.2)

Einstein once said: “Imagination is more important than knowledge”.   He was a smart guy.

BEATLEMANIA MEETS AND THE STUPID 8 YEAR OLD

I’m pretty sure it was 1964.  I had seen “A Hard Day’s Night” a dozen times.  (This was when you could go to the Matinee and stay all day).  All I knew was that The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and the Dave Clark Five were all you heard on the A.M. Radio.My family was one of those where the mom took the kids on vacation while dad stayed and worked.  (Gee some things never change)

Anyway, how much of an effect did Rock music have on me?  In 1964 my Mom and one of her friends took us on the usual trip, which went from Stockton CA, to San Francisco CA, then to Santa Cruz, down the PCH to Disneyland and Knott’s berry farm. Then from there we went to Ensenada Mexico for a few days on the Baja Beach. That year we spent a good half a day in the City.  We walked around what is now the financial district.  There was one shop on Post and Mission that had “Beatle Bobble Head” dolls.  My mom was in to much of a hurry to let us go in.  Sooooooooo, the next morning I got up around 6:00 AM.  Everyone else was still asleep.  I quietly put my clothes on and walked from the Sheraton Hotel on Van Ness Blvd. down one of the diagonal streets (Post or Sutter) to the little shop on Post street and Market.  The store was closed because it was only 7:30 in the morning.

I just stood there and stared through the window and marveled at how cool these little Beatles were.

I was 8 years old and had NO idea of how dangerous (and stupid) what I was doing actually was.  But I had to see these Beatles.  I thought that maybe if the store was open, I could go in and beg my mom to take us to that store and buy me a Beatle. When I got back to the Hotel, I was in trouble.  I was in no position to ask for anything.

But thanks to McFarlane; 40 years later, I’ve got a John Lennon Bobble head on my wall.

“The Physical Manifestation of Spiritual Unity”.

For me, I’ve always “tried” to define sex as: “The Physical Manifestation of Spiritual Unity”.  I”ve always told myself, I would never have sex with a partner that I wasn’t willing to legally father any offspring that should result in such activity.  That didn’t mean love had anything to do with the sex. (See the last quote on this article)

I believe I held true to that creed most of the time. (The math is impossible as I still have certain episodes of amnesia from back in the day) God was gracious and cut me some serious slack.

On the other hand, our creator endowed us with hormone secreting organs that would inspire us to procreate to keep the Human race from extinction.  I use to be proud of the math, now I’m sort of ashamed of how many women I didn’t love that I had sex with. (Or even knew their names) Ironically, the women I loved the most; I never had sex with.  How did that happen?  Oh I know, either they were married or I was married.

“Time can be so cruel“.

In the 60’s, the term “Free Love” became popular.  20 years later a term called “socially transmitted disease” became popular.  The truth remains “Free Love” meant nothing more than a sexual hand shake and like the Jersey shore; cheapened man’s values of that which might have been sacred at one point.

The next time you have sex; ask yourself if you are two spirits uniting through physical manifestation? (Or just fucking)

In an episode of CSI “Las Vegas” Grissom, (The lead investigator) once said: “Sex without love does the opposite of what it’s meant to do.  It’s sad.  It just makes you feel lonely”.

If there’s one statement in the music Industry that I KNOW is true it’s this one: “Anyone who enters a battle of the bands has already lost”. You name the competition and I’ll guarantee the only ones benefiting from it are the promoters.

The whole concept of an artist competing with other artists is just insane. That’s why they’re called arts and not sports. But in America we love our sports and have to try and make a sport out of everything. But the arts are the most extreme form of apples and oranges you can try to judge. Let’s examine my rant:

You pick them:

Bob Dylan vs. Bob Marley

The Beatles vs. Metallica

Renoir vs. Picasso

Jimi Hendrix vs. Hank Williams

Monet vs. Patrick Nagel

M.C. Hammer vs. Fred Astaire

Gene Krupa vs. John Bonham

Cher vs. Lady Gaga (ok I just wanted to reference Lady Gaga)

But do you get my point? You can’t say Jimi is a better guitar player than Hank Williams. As Eddie Van Halen once said in a response to an acusation by Eric Clapton: “He’s right I don’t play blues. I speak a different language.” It’s wrong to compare art. The better question is to ask is: “Is it art”? (Usually followed by: “You paid how much for that”?) Which leads to; What is art? Only history will decide.

I’m sorry, I get ticked off when I get emails from the ITC. (international Songwriting Contest) or the John Lennon songwriters contest. Give me a break.

I just loath it. I’m sorry.

I’m a Simple Man – TEOTWAWKI

 In the survival world, there are two acronyms you need to be aware of.

1. TEOTWAWKI – The End Of The World As W Know It
2. SHTF – Shit Hits The Fan

Rather than watch a Superbowl that looked like it was fixed; I was doing some research on the String theory for an earlier article.  I found a video featuring the ever so awesome Michio Kaku.  (A Nuclear Physicist).

Because I am such a fan of Dr. Kaku, I decided to click on a couple of other videos which contained interviews.  One was on the FUKUSHIMA power plant, melt down.  Now remember Dr. Kaku has relatives in Tokyo.  They are preparing to leave Japan.  Dr. Kaku said Japan is in denial and underestimating the numbers when it comes to “Iodine” in the atmosphere.  In short: “We’re all going to die from radioactive poisoning”.

It didn’t take long for me to conclude that I had gotten myself on a TEOWAWKI page.  Now keep in mind that TEOWAWKI doesn’t mean the end of planet earth, but rather the end of our lifestyle as we know it.  Instead of that convenient microwave oven, you may (if you’re lucky) be cooking from a campfire.

Some sites were referring to a NASA article that said America was prepared to kill of the majority of the world’s population because we were using resources to quickly.

Of course there were the secret society conspiracies that started with the Illuminati, the Free Masons, (I use to love Perry Mason) and of course eventually, Alex Jones’ favorite, The Bilderbergers.

I think much of what I watched was bull shit.  But then again, I could be in denial myself.  I read an AMA (American Medical Association) Article in 1978 about the feasibility of not being truthful with patients.  I think the article was called “The Feasibility of not being Truthful with your patients”.  In short, it said: “The patient has a better chance of living if you don’t tell him he’s going to die”.

So when I hear claims (especially from Democrats) that Obama is part of a conspiracy that involves the top 1% or maybe even the Top .01% of the wealthiest people in the world; I have to ask myself: “What do they know that we don’t”?  Some have said, (And this is very Plausible) That America hasn’t elected a President in 50 years.  Big money has.  It certainly sounds reasonable that Obama was a pure set up.  Remember all of the liberal academia that was shouting, 9/11 was all about oil?  They were close.  According to those in the know it was about keeping the value of the U.S. dollar propped up.  “They” (The CTs) claim that Saddam Hussein was starting to trade oil for Euros.  So the war to topple and oust Hussein was to keep the dollar as the world reserve currency, not to steal their oil.  People around the world still believe our “Monopoly” (Fiat) money is worth something.  And it is as long as they continue to believe it.

I’ve learned of a thousand ways the government is ready to kill us all.  One of biggest theories being circulated is weather manipulation.  The idea is getting a lot of traction in the fringe media today.  It does scare me, knowing what I know about physics.

At the end of the world, we must remember one thing.  All living beings die eventually.  It doesn’t quite matter much if you were born in Ethiopia with no food, or poisoned by chem-trail dust particles in your castle.  We will all cross over.  But it sounds like some of the inventions of destruction created by your tax dollars are quite fascinating.

Bill O’Reilly’s Pre-Super Bowl

Interview

 “You have to treat the president with respect”.

 I expect the political equivalent of “Soft-core porn”.  In spite of the derogatory statements the White House Despot has been making about Fox news, and Rush Limbaugh; O’Reilly will not ask anything the majority of his audience would ask.  Of all of the questions being sent to the Factor, I would predict the question O’Reilly chooses will be laughed off or he will blatantly lie about it.

I predict that the question O’Reilly asks will start out: “O.K. Mr. President, this question is from a viewer.  Joe Blow in Peoria Illinois writes, Who sent Susan Rice out on the 5 talk shows giving blatant disinformation on Benghazi”? The president will say: “That’s the INTEL we had at the time”.  Then if O’Reilly has any testosterone, he’ll have emails and congressional testimonies he can reference (Like General Ham’s) who said they were never notified.

I get rather tired of O’Reilly’s righteous indignation on the small screen, then when it comes time to ask questions, he asks if the president will go one on one in basketball.  O’Reilly is no Bob Woodward.  He wants to get invited to the press dinner.  I might add that I’m sure WH chief of Communications Valerie Jarett, aka President Jarett , will want to see the questions to asked ahead of time and if O’Reilly deviates from the “set list”, his life will be a living hell.

In short, don’t expect O to ask anything about the  blatant lies, about Obamacare.  Blatant lies by Susan Rice, why nobody has been held accountable and if the president says: “Ultimately I’m accountable” don’t expect O’Reilly to ask Obama if he’s going to resign then.  This will be a dog and pony show.

The Monday following the interview, O’Reilly will use rhetoric to explain why he COULDN’T ask the questions that need to be asked.  He’ll refer to those who disagree with his questions as “Obama Haters”.  And then he’ll fall back on the “I’ve already gotten thousands of emails asking why I wasn’t tougher.

If the president will go on late night comedy shows as well as MSNBC, he should have the guts to go on the factor where the only thing the administration can screen is the president’s physical safety. But unless this interview doesn’t end in the president taking off his lapel phone and walking out, you can expect the soft core porn interview as mentioned above.  It all depends on what O’Reilly’s definition of “respect” Is.

WEALTH – It’s worth examining

Money is often referred to as currency. It is used to enable “Quid Pro Quo” (This for that) transactions. In a court of law, it’s commonly referred to as a  negotiable instrument.  On the streets it has several vernaculars such as, bread, mean green, stash, shake, you get the Idea. What role does money play in our lives?  I would say it’s as important as air. Without money, (or a negotiable instrument) your life is going to be  difficult.  Without a fair amount of it, it’s going to be a struggle. And if it’s not, the struggle is coming at someone else’s expense. (like mom and dad’s  or the Tax Payer)

But many of us SAY we want wealth. But the media (Television, newspaper and radio) has done a great job of making you think money is bad. A  casual example is “Gilligan’s Island”. How did the producers of Gilligan’s Island make the Howells look? Idiot misers? So as children we thought, if we  get rich, we’ll be perceived as helpless idiot  buffoons.

Even before television. Look at Dickens and “A Christmas Carol” Ebenezer Scrooge is depicted as a cruel heartless miserable penny pinching MISER.

Let’s go way back now. Look at the New Testament. Jesus says: “It will be easier for a camel to pass thru the eye of a needle; than for a rich man to  enter heaven”. (Matt 19:24)  Let me explain this example, he was saying that it would be more likely that a camel would pass through the eye of a  needle than a rich man to humble himself before God.  It was not the abundance of money preventing the rich man; rather his spiritual poverty.

And of course this goes along with 1st Timothy 6:10 “The Love of money is the root of many evils”. (This verse is often misquoted as: “Money is the root  of all evil”) It’s not the money.  It’s the “Love” of money that is the root of “Many” (not all) Evils.

But money is like oxygen. Those with money do not die of exposure. Those who have money still die, eventually, but even the apostle Paul said that it  was important for man to work and earn his living.  A poor person is not going to put food in the stomach of another poor person. (I’m paraphrasing)  More importantly; Paul said he had learned to live with abundance and without.  One of my top 10 favorite sayings from “Ace’s book of sayings” is: “If  you can’t be happy without money; you’ll never be happy with money”.  It kills me to see couples divorce over finances.  Money comes and goes but  marriage is a holy covenant.

I’ve actually heard preachers say that they “didn’t want to be to rich or they might forget God, yet they didn’t want to be poor or they might resent  God”.

I’ve been studying the subject of Money quite a bit lately. It started when I invested in the DVD “The secret”.   The secret is a well produced movie about being able to “Manifest” anything you want if you just focus on it hard enough.  It’s called the “Law of Attraction”.  It promises you can “do”, “have” or “be” anything you want.  The secret is one of the nicest incomplete  movies you’ll ever watch. Of course if you go on the internet you’ll find a plethora of books, videos and CD’s that try to sell you the “missing SECRET“.

All of them are trying to tell you that the reason the “Secret” is not working for you is because you have a “limiting belief”. And just buy my  book/CD/DVD and I’ll show you how to identify and rid yourself of your subconscious belief that is holding you back from your riches.  Such as “I don’t deserve to be rich”.

I spoke earlier about our attitudes that we have about rich people. This indeed is more common than you might believe. There are endless reasons why  people won’t let themselves become rich. The biggest reason (and I’ll save you about 200 bucks in books) is that you don’t feel that you’re deserving  for one reason or another (or several).

I’m afraid money would change me.  I wouldn’t feel right making more money than my parents.  The Bible says I should be poor.  Most rich people I know are unhappy, etc……

These are all dearly held beliefs. But they’re all just flawed progammed scripting.

Yes money can change you, but what’s wrong with not having bills to pay?  Your parents are abusing you if they wouldn’t love for you to be wealthy?  The Bible says nothing about wanting you to be poor.  Actually the Bible talks about “Abundant blessings“.  Happiness comes from within.  Happiness is  a state of being.  It’s not something that money buys.  Now the lack of money can lead to many situations that will challenge your happiness if you don’t  have a solid relationship grounded in trust, but money in its’ self is just a tool. It’s like a fork. Forks don’t make you fat just as money doesn’t make you  happy or unhappy.

Americans should have a greater respect (not love) for money.  Parents, teach your children to respect money as you would a hot stove.  It’s humanly  essential to be financially responsible.  Just as much as it is to be hygienically clean or morally disciplined.

Remember, you can never be too thin or too rich.
