I'm very willing to have a debate on the need for Affirmative Action and its role for today. I just want to hear white male's admit that they enjoyed their brand of AA since the 1970's. (Yes, I will get called a racist because I brought this up but I really don't like to play safe on this subject.)

Two ¢ said...: I don't really see how someone could argue against affirmative action fairly. It sucks, for example, when a black guy gets a job over a white guy who is more qualified, I feel that but...

I'm not someone who believes that sacrificing some little pictures for the big picture is always a good thing but in the case of affirmative action in the US, I think it's needed and I support it.
For the racists out there who like to bitch about so many minorities on welfare, I think you definitely should support AA. It cuts down the number of minority welfare recipients in both the short and long terms.
Someone who grows up and/or lives in a poor community is much more likely to stay poor for a great number of reasons. So when, lets say, Tyrone, gets a better paying job than he and the people in his community are used to, then his children will have a better chance at getting a better education and a better job even without AA, and so on and so on.

http://www.irp.wisc.edu/faqs/faq3/table1.htm
I think when these numbers get basically evened out, then AA will have fulfilled it's purpose and it should be slowly phased out.

From that King article you just posted:
"Integration...is the welcome participation of Negroes into the total range of human activities...Desegregation is not enough; integration alone is consonant with our national purpose." -- "Ethical Demands for Integration" ,1963

I think Dr. King explains it pretty well here. And I think that he would be very happy to know that some Affirmative Action stuff is working.

That thing about
'some whites being government mandated to be discriminated against'
To me, that sounds like a broken piece of system that needs to be evaluated and possibly corrected.

As long as everybody still has to meet the qualifications for whatever job they're doing, then AA shouldn't make too much difference as far as quality of service in cases of doctors, emergency service workers etc..; Thursday, February 4, 2010 at 2:05:00 AM CST

If you check the context of his I Have A Dream speech, he was talking about different races peacefully co-existing, more-so on an everyday human level. Being temporarily given preference for certain job or educational opportunities in attempt to offset past mistakes does not fit into the context of that speech.

Talk about hating the poor. Feds already took 14.21% before you have to pay all your other taxes. In fact, if you work full time from age 18-65, or 47 years, you have to work 6.68 years just to pay off ss/me/md that few of us will get.

It ain't right that some people are starving to death in huts, bellies all swole up, waitin for the red cross to bring em a bowl of mush so they can live to draw flies for another day; While some people are livin it up in mansions, with servants and private jets, rarely wanting for anything. Since the majority of people are somewhere in between those two extremes, let's look in there for reality real quick. AA's there for a purpose and it seems to be working. It still needs to be there until we get a little better balance of minorities comin up versus whites. If AA needs to be tweaked, then lets tweak it where its needed. Do you have an alternate plan to address this issue other than AA?

This is an observation. - With some things one compromises and with some things one does not.

Praise Jesus! I got a nice little pearl for ya from this discussion, thank you. - As you let go of your guilt, you will have less need for resentment. (Easier said than done, I know.)

Your resentment is like an anger response, it's a defense mechanism, defense against attacks from guilt that is not yours. You could trade your guilt for empathy or sympathy and the resentment can go to hell. It's not your guilt and it doesn't need to be your resentment either.

We still waste hella stuff and fight over land. We could be concentrating our resources on colonizing space instead. Plenty of room out there, and they're finding evidence of water on some planets. What would we be spreading out there though if we can't figure out the basics of how not to hate and kill each other and how not to shit all over our planet. You can divide humans into all sorts of narrow groups like races, sexes, width, height, guys with mustaches, chicks with mustaches, etc.. You are a part of all kinds of different groupings and you can choose to hate the ones that you are not a part of if you want to, but when you realize that you are grouped with many of those same people in other ways, it just seems kinda pointless.

cool shit

So anyway, how can all parties best be served with regards to AA? How can we have our cake and eat it too here? It's possible that's for sure. The less people getting the short end of the stick the better. I await your suggested solutions.; Friday, February 5, 2010 at 7:49:00 AM CST

John said...: Hey ".31"

Good post and your statements are well thought out and makes a lot of sense. (Thank God we have some folks other than Marcus that has something to say.)

Barnard Rustin left the communist party in 1941 over the fact that the American communist stop supporting the intergration and civil rights for black workers in the War industries. A.Philip Randolph and Rustin was going to lead a organized strike for better conditions until FDR signed a executive order banning discrimination in that industry. Rustin I don't think ever went to the Soviet Union at all. (a little hard since you have to get a visa to go into that country.)

Civil Rights support was strong in the socialist movement later on in the 1920's and 30's. It was part of the platform of Henry Wallace's Presidential bid in 1948 in the Progressive Party. The Democrats adopted that postion later on in the 50's and 60's.

So whats your point???? Blacks did move toward that side of the political spectrum.(big deal!!)

Those views in race relations are more accepted today. Thank God!!. Along with Blacks being republicans and libertarians. We all don't think alike but because of the so-called radicals we got the right to agitate and participate in the process.

http://mrlauer.wordpress.com/2008/04/05/christopher-hitchens-explains-martin-luther-king/

Hitchens goes on to say that
This does not in the least diminish his standing as a great preacher, any more than does the fact that he was a mammal like the rest of us, and probably plagiarized his doctoral dissertation, and had a notorious fondness for booze and for women a good deal younger than his wife. He spent the remainder of his last evening in orgiastic dissipation, for which I don’t blame him. (These things, which of course disturb the faithful, are rather encouraging in that they show that a high more character is not a precondition for great moral accomplishments.)

The entire self-definition of “the South” was that it was white, and Christian. This is exactly what gave Dr. King his moral leverage, because he could outpreach the rednecks. But the heavy burden would never have been laid upon him if religiosity had not been so deeply entrenched to begin with. As Taylor Branch shows, many of King’s inner circle and entourage were secular Communists and socialists who had been manuring the ground for a civil rights movement for several decades and helping train brave volunteers like Mrs. Rosa Parks for a careful strategy of mass civil disobedience, and these “atheistic” associations were to be used against King all the time, especially from the pulpit. Indeed, one result of his campaign was to generate the “backlash” of white right-wing Christianity which is still such a potent force below the Mason-Dixon line…

This last bit perhaps you have seen or heard:
http://www.vdare.com/epstein/080116_libertarians.htm

King was a "flagrant plagiarist with a phony doctorate." This statement is simply true. When the King Papers were donated to Stanford University in the late 1980s it became clear that "instances of textual appropriation can be seen in his earliest extant writings as well as his dissertation. The pattern is also noticeable in his speeches and sermons throughout his career," as King Papers editor Clayborne Carson put it. Large portions of King’s dissertation were plagiarized from fellow Boston University student Jack Boozer, among other sources.; Sunday, February 7, 2010 at 2:10:00 PM CST

Blacks can riot, kill people, demand all kinds of goodies but in the end the US is not likely to survive as a country in the next fifty years. The debt load is too heavy. Best get that 40 acres and a mule while you can.

40 acres and a mule was a practice in 1865 of providing arable land to African American former slaves who became free as Union armies occupied areas of the Confederacy, especially in Sherman's March. Maj. Gen. William T. Sherman's January 16, 1865 Special Field Orders, No. 15 provided for the land, and some of the recipients received from the Army mules for use in plowing as well;[1] the combination was widely recognized as providing a sound start for a family farm.

40 acres (16 hectares) is a standard size for rural land, being a sixteenth of a section, or a quarter quarter-section, under the Public Land Survey System used on land settled after 1785.

Sherman's orders specifically allocated "the islands from Charleston, south, the abandoned rice fields along the rivers for thirty miles back from the sea, and the country bordering the St. Johns river, Florida".

After the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln, his successor, Andrew Johnson, revoked Sherman's Orders. It is sometimes mistakenly claimed that Johnson also vetoed the enactment of the policy as a federal statute (introduced as U.S. Senate Bill 60). In fact, the Freedmen's Bureau Bill which he vetoed made no mention of grants of land or mules. (Another version of the Freedmen's bill, also without the land grants, was later passed after Johnson's second veto was overridden.)

By June 1865, around 10,000 freed slaves were settled on 400,000 acres (160,000 ha) in Georgia and South Carolina. Soon after, President Andrew Johnson reversed the order and returned the land to its white former owners. Because of this, the phrase has come to represent the failure of Reconstruction and the general public to assist African Americans.; Sunday, February 7, 2010 at 2:15:00 PM CST

Automatically i can assume that your last point claimed to be "pure and simple" is thin because the politics of people are rarely "pure and simple."

I'll bet the slave owners were thinking along the same lines as you when they first freed the slaves. ('first they want freedom, then they want rights, then they want jobs, where does it end? If they get the same advantages as me, that puts me at a disadvantage. Dey Took R Jobs!') I saw the same line of thought in some black people who voted for Obambam just because he was black.

Those attitudes are ridiculous and it just makes us dumber as a society to go along with the team sports approach to politics. Like so many other things, AA is a 3-dimensional, multifaceted, issue that can hardly be adjusted or resolved for everyone's benefit with a 2-dimensional mindset. It's about much more than what's good for Team You or what's good for Team Them. How about considering what's good for Team U.S. a little bit?

Hey, that sucks that they took yur jobs, dude, keep tryin, you'll land a good one eventually. I'm a white man. I don't really think AA is too much of a disadvantage, one would assume that the number of minority hires as a result of AA is relative to population demographics. I see it as giving back the same advantage that whites have, the rights that they were supposed to have in the first place. I think the goals should be for everybody to come up, not just whatever groups I decide to associate myself with. Enriching Team U.S. society as a whole.

If you are a white male and you support freedom of slaves which puts you at the disadvantage of not being able to own other people based on nothing but the color of their skin, then you must also be an idiot pure and simple, right?. Why would someone give that advantage up? Perhaps because it's the right damn thing to do, for Team U.S.

I don't blame you for slave owners, it's just that soulless mentality of not giving 2 shits about other human beings because of what they look like, that's ridiculous.

I think sending ex-slaves to Africa should have been an option open to them for sure. Slaves built this country at least as much as whites did and if they chose to stay here, in the place they were born, where they know the language, culture, customs, and lay of the land, their home, then who could blame em.

I'm all about some change but I didn't vote for Obambam, he's not a change that i can believe in.

Diversity, a weakness, not hardly. More difficult to manage, for sure but diversity in races, religions, and cultures, is what gives Team U.S. it's strength and encourages freedom. It's also what makes Team U.S. the capital of innovation in the world. Like electricity, telephones, computers, nukes, etc.. etc..

Like you said, the civil war was fought over more than just slavery but ending slavery must have had quite a bit of white public support in order to happen back then.

You stated a problem quite well, there is "a vast underclass of people disproportionally non white that for some reason seem incapable of being turned into productive citizens", while I heartily disagree with the 'incapable' part, this point of yours pretty much makes the case about the need for affirmative action programs. Bravo, 50 points to the KlanMan.(insert smiley face and/or gold star here)

If you can move some of the resentment out of the way, you may be able to help fix any problems there might be with affirmative action.

The Civil War was not totally framed about freeing black people nor did Lincoln signing the Emancipation Proclamation have much to do with his desire to free black slaves.

I am not a KlanMan I was just stating the obvious. AA was not sold to the public as a quota system but is what you seem to be wanting here.
Stating facts has nothing to do with resentment. I have been employed for decades. You are just another
brain washed white progressive liberal whom doesn't really believe in what they say: another words you don't really think that non whites can succeed on their own without your personal sacrifice and groveling at their feet.

Lastly the bit about Diversity being great for Team USA then why is Africa such a mess after all it is the most diverse place on the planet: according to your logic it should be a Super First World place. Let's not forget that Germany was destroyed after WWII and in less than ten years it was back to number one in Europe; and even with it being split in two.

I will close by saying that you are a fool for supporting policies that puts you at a disadvantage on nothing more than you being a white male.; Saturday, February 13, 2010 at 8:14:00 AM CST

I'd really rather not trade places with any color haitian, especially not right now.

'my progressive white friends' that's funny.
If you consider a progressive to be someone who leans towards progress, then yes, I am and I think a majority of people do lean towards progress.

My statement about slaves building this country is just an assumption though. It seems logical to me that when all this stuff was getting setup, they had plenty of free labor available and I'm pretty sure they used it.

From the cia world factbook on South Africa:
black African 79%, white 9.6%, colored 8.9%, Indian/Asian 2.5% (2001 census)
Not too diverse.
If you're talking about all of Africa, like dealing in whole continents, then I'd guess that Asia would be "the most diverse place on the planet".

pocket¢ said...: Yaaaaay, It's story time
Let's say you(notaKlanMan) and I(Pocket¢) were having lunch, at E. Quality Delicatessen, and a waiter wearing a white hat comes to our table and puts half of your sandwich on my plate before he serves the food. He said it was because I was wearing a white hat too. Would it really be all that self sacrificing for me to give you back the other half of your sandwich? Would I really get to ride a moral high horse for giving it back to you? I mean technically it's my half-sandwich now cause it's on the plate that was served to me, so why should i give it back to you? Then also, do we let it go or tell the manager or kick the guy's ass or what? The dude must have been retarded or crazy or something for trying to take your half-sandwich in the first place. It was obviously yours as it was right there on your plate.
So we complain to the management and they say they'll give you some chips but that's it because the kitchen just closed and you and I would have to work something out on the sammie. And they weren't going to reprimand Corky the waiter either on account of they were scared of him for what he did to a regular customer named Chief who wore a red hat. It turns out Corky cut off Chief's arms and legs and then pretty much took Chief's whole sandwich, left him with nothin but stumps and breadcrusts. So, even though it puts me at the disadvantage of not having half of your food to eat too, I decide to give your half-sandwich back to you. But it looks like it broke into pieces when ol'Corky put it on my plate. So we work out a system to use a spoon, fork, and napkin to move most of it back to your plate. If part of that system isn't working right for some reason, like you were getting more of the meat and I was being left with more bread and cheese or vice-versa, then we could make adjustments to our system, like stop using the napkin and instead incorporate a butterknife and a sugar packet, whatever to make sure that you at least got most of your half-sammie back.

Then, after working together to fix the problem...

we could then enjoy our lunch even more while sitting out back of the diner by a campfire singing cuum-bi-ya with Corky, celebrating my wonderful giving heart and superiority in MY sacrifice of YOUR half-sandwich.

OR we could just eat and move on to other things and understand that it was your half-sammich to fucking begin with.

Value is so often in the eye of the beholder.

I don't quite understand that business about forcing citizens to leave the country at gunpoint but I would absolutely love to hear about how an AA program based on income might work. If you're just talking about giving poor people a hiring preference, they sorta do that now. If a company hires someone on welfare, that company gets a tax credit in the thousands of dollars.* I'm sure it helps but not enough I guess. I'm also wondering if AA is NOT on a quota system, then how is it determined how many extra minorities are to be hired?

indians and blacks were put at disadvantages on purpose by white folks back in the day and some of those same disadvantages remain still. I think if people were on a more level playing field, then more people might realize that we can all win at the game of life by coming up together and more people might also realize that getting something does not necesarily mean it has to come from or cost someone else. Then AA programs now, would be an advantage to generations of all races of team u.s. to come. Also, who knows, You or I might father some minority children someday and then AA now would definitely be a benefit to them.

Any perceived disadvantage to whites IS based on more than just skin color. it's about the big picture and all that

Minorities start out at a disadvantage, some because their families were slaves and have been stuck in the ghetto for generations, and some just due to plain old bigotry. I concede that in a perfect world, there would be no AA programs. We're not even close though, I can see the need for action of some sort. I think the ultimate goal of programs like AA, welfare, and a lot of other things should be to eventually eliminate themselves. To do their jobs so well that they are no longer needed. Unfortunately, it seems that gubberment programs generally work the other way around, working hard to expand their bullshit and get bigger budgets and create more bullshit jobs, taking resources away from any semblance of a productive economy.

Technically,
I'm at a disadvantage when I pull over to let an emergency vehicle pass. I get how important it is though.
Middle-eastern people are at a disadvantage at the airport. It sucks but I think they get why.
I'm at a disadvantage whenever I have to drive around those stupid round-a-boot things but I don't get all huffy puffy over it because I know they reduce auto accidents and save kids from getting hit by cars.
Men were put at a disadvantage as more women started working. They took our jobs
I'd like to put myself at just a little bit greater tax disadvantage by helping pay for english lessons for mexican-americans, so they can better come up and people can understand each other better in general.

Anonymous said...: There is no schooling you two bits and no change: Your mind is set in stone and frozen at absolute zero not really possible but in your case I think so.
As far as AA is concerned the fact is that once people of a particular group are given legal advantages they and their childens are want not to give up what have in essence become nothing more than entitlements. All you have to do is look at California to see that AA programs that benefit so-called minorities are still in effect even though the white population is just another minority in that state.
My plan would be simple really if you come from a family whose income is below the poverty level set by the Feds then you would qualify for help however if you couldn't do a particular job or if you couldn't make the cut at the school or do the course work bad day for you and that would be it. The problem would be that once you had been hired by say the government under such a program it would be difficult to fire you much like what we already have today. Ultimately I am not sure that any system would work when you have so many diverse groups all feeding at the same trough. Just another reason why diverse societies are so difficult to manage. The economy is a zero sum game.
Take out the 10-20 million illegals here in the states and you would suddenly have more opportunity for the millions of US citizens that are unemployed.

Anonymous said...: John nothing I have said is racist in the least just pointing out the reality on the ground as I see it. Calling people racist is losing its power, The US becomes more and more like the UN every day just a bunch of divergent groupings of people trying to get what they think is their rightful piece of the pie. The only thing that pulls them together is their hatred of the West aka represented by the 'white male' or the 'man'. And it is no different here in the states the only thing that keeps diverse groups here from mauling each other is their hatred of 'white males'. You can call me paranoid or whatever you want to call me but all the isms you can think of in a sociological sense make their living attacking dead and currently alive white males. I do make a distinction between Jewish males and white males in that most Jewish males especially those in positions of authority or the media go out of their way in attacking white males while pretending that they too are white males but then are first in line to hide behind hate crime laws and hate speech laws that is playing the Jew Card.
The US has serious structural problems to resolve and guess what there is no time to resolve such issues what with the country being swamped by unsustainable levels of debt. We are on our way to 2nd World Status if we are lucky 3rd World Status if we very unlucky. We will know the end is coming when overseas bases have to be shutdown. Austerity is going to be forced on the US which means that the vanishing Middle Class is going to be slammed and the entitlement programs are going to have to be slashed.

I doubt that more than a handful of people here in KC have read books like Hitler's War or Inside the Third Reich or say, Beowulf by Heaney or the Bell Curve. You should stick to the subject matter and explain how the US is supposed to dig out of the Debt Hole she is in. Let's dive into that bit of subject matter and see where it takes us. Let me clue you in on something, I didn't vote for McCain or your guy....I voted 3rd choice. I am a libertarian but that doesn't mean that I can't see where the country is headed. I know how we can fix the country we will tax Bill Gates and his evil ilk at 100 percent that should solve all the problems here. You seem unable to grasp the obvious that this experiment here seems to be failing. The election of Obama has simply brought things to a head. You don't really know what many white people feel about the system here. It might surprise you what many of them think. Do I wish to see our first biracial president fail not really but I will close with this how would you fix the US?
The US is becoming just like Brazil. Five plus trillions on the Great Society Programs...what do we have to show for it...baggy pants?

What in the "blue hell" are you talking about?? What does reading Hitler's War,Inside The Third Reich,Beowulf,and The Bell Curve have anything to do about the problems of the USA? WTF??? I guess you would like this country to be like Nazi Germany?? You can setup laws to take away private property,restrict movements of certain minorites and then kill them??

How would I fix the country you ask?. Well I can't by myself. Unless I want to be a dictator?. That would be so easy. But I would stop "trickledown" economics because it doesn't work. I wouldn't cut taxes in a time of war.(You have to pay for it.) Who did that??? Bush did. I would work to reform the banking system with market controls that would protect the consumer. (Seperate real-estate banking from the stock market which got us in the mess we are in now. Thanks to Republicans and some Democrats.) I would push for a reform of the healthcare industry which involes either a strong public option/exspansion of medicare. With the goverment I would change the "fillibuster" rules in the senate.

The New Deal and built the middle class. Yes it did. It built the "TVA and Hoover Dam" projects which added energy power in those regions of the country. It created jobs!!!!! Not Goverment but private sector jobs!. It help win World War II and contribute to the economic boom of the 50's.

"The Great Society" also created jobs. It wasn't perfect. No program is but it did give education and job training to folks who did go on to contribute to the economy in the future.

I like some libertarians. But the libertarians have always reminded me of a girl who you know would put out. She always deliver but you don't want to take her home to meet the parents.

Anonymous said...: So trickle up economics does work. That is take money from people that have no money and that would be the bottom half and somehow that will solve the problems we have. As far as the wars are concerned neither of them have been much of a drain on the system here since the GDP here is around 14 trillion dollars and both wars have been going on for 8 plus years at a cost of around 1 trillion dollars. I was no fan of Bush so you can hang him if you want but he certainly didn't trash the economy all by himself. Part of what got us in this mess was pushing minority home ownership to people that shouldn't have been given loans; this partially forced banks to come up with ways to offload such risky loans to unsuspecting retirement funds etc in foreign countries. I don't blame it all on the Owner Ship Society goals of Bush, etc but that certainly played a part; but really I think the bigger blame was simply that the scheme was the only way to keep the system here stumbling onward since thanks to Nixon and his Jew adviser Kissinger China was opened up, though their continued buying of our debt kept the party going longer here than it might have otherwise happened. One can argue that there is a plan to form a One World Government and the only way to do that is by using to wealth of the West to make that happened though in the short run the people in the West will become poorer as the rest of the world catches up.
Most of the New Deal was thrown out by the Supreme Court. The Hoover Dam would never get built now it would be tied up in the courts for decades and sued to death. The Russians defeated Hitler we only played a bit part. The boom was only because Europe, and Eastern Europe lay in ruin along with much of Japan not to mention the millions of dead that were no longer competing against us.
We are facing the same problems that Greece is facing that is too many public jobs and too few private jobs with a large mass of people that really do nothing but suck at the public tit. The Great Society programs have created a vast army of uneducated rootless people that are even going to be more worthless as time marches on. You have this group of people vying for resources and then at the other end you have an army of retired parents of Baby Boomers soon to be joining their parents: this super group if you will also demanding goodies from the State. Something is going to have to give. And lastly you have the hungry Chinese that don't give a hoot about what progressives here or in Europe think. Hitler while a mass murderer no doubt was right about one thing a Nation has to have living space to survive.

Lastly in response to your healthcare points all I can say is won't work what with a 60+ obesity rate here in the states. Until you get a handle on that problem the healthcare cost here will simply keep going up and up and up this issues also revolves around the Boomers and the baggy pants crowd not to forget that we already have a doctor shortage here in the states that is going to get much worse over the next few years nor will be able to just keep trying to entice doctors from China etc to come here since they will be able to stay home and do better there than here.

When the US defaults on her debt all bets will be off.

I think this will illustrate what I am saying:

As to your point about greedy and selfish just what would you have people do...live in poverty so that everyone can be equal. You reveal yourself to be a communist. I pay at the highest tax level one can at my income level while millions of others pay nothing what with subsidized housing, free health care, free food and free education. And yet you would accuse me of being greedy and selfish because I have to work six days a week to just hang on and that I should cheerfully turn over more of my income to people like you. Perhaps you should look at one of the core groups that voted for Obama and how fat they are being gluttonous.

Another important factor is Chinese people have little contact with Blacks. What they know about Blacks are mostly from media and movies. Furthermore people usually only hear and remember bad things. So they already have a prejudice before they know a real person. This can be changed once they know you. But some Chinese people, especially some of the elderly, can be very traditional. It will be hard to change them

In many [Asian] countries, ethnic divisions are institutionalized, with strict laws governing what one race can and cannot do. In largely homogenous Japan, it’s extremely difficult for a non-Japanese to become a citizen even if born there. In Malaysia, an affirmative-action program gives preference to Malays over the country’s sizable Chinese and Indian populations in everything from university places to government contracts. In Pakistan, Punjabis, the dominant ethnic group, are favored for key positions in the powerful military and civil service. Government leaders argue that these kinds of measures help maintain harmony. Maybe so, but it is a superficial harmony that reinforces stereotypes and hinders the creation, in the long run, of genuine tolerance and understanding.

King Hubbert in 1932, established a detailed framework for Technocracy in terms of energy production, distribution and usage. According to Scott and Hubbert, the distribution of energy resources must be monitored and measured in order for the system to work -- and this is the key: monitoring and measuring.

They wrote that the system must do the following things:

- Register on a continuous 24 hour-per-day basis the total net conversion of energy

- By means of the registration of energy converted and consumed, make possible a balanced load

- Provide a continuous inventory of all production and consumption

- Provide a specific registration of the type, kind, etc., of all goods and services, where produced and where used

- Provide specific registration of the consumption of each individual, plus a record and description of the individual. [Scott, Howard et al., Technocracy Study Source, p. 232]

In 1932, such technology did not exist. Time was on the Technocrat's side, however, because this technology does exist today, and it is being rapidly implemented to do exactly what Scott and Hubbert specified: Namely, to exhaustively monitor, measure and control every ampere of energy delivered to consumers and businesses on a system-wide basis."

Bill Mahr had a great New Rules on his Feb 19th or 26th show "Real Time" about his thoughts that the tea parties are cults and not grassroots movements. Check it out on HBO.

You know that most tea parties are backed by "Freedomworks" which get funding from big pharma/oil companies?? The 9/12 org that Glen "Lonesome Rhodes" Beck pushes get funding from NewsCorp,Freedomworks?? Yes, this is grassroots organizing? NOT, more like "ASTROTURFING". Sources: Rachel Maddow Show,Thinkprogress,Time,Newsweek.

Where was these people when "W" ran the war debt up of the budget??? Where was these groups when democrats and republicans deregulated the banking and financial industries??.

Most political campaigns push someone as the savior. It was done with every presidential election and with 2008 it wasn't nothing new. "THIS IS NORMAL WACKJOBS!".

You have every right to protest what the President is doing. I will defend your right to do it. I wonder if you would defend mine?. I don't care what color someone is
who protest against Obama. I have the right to call you out. So deal with it.!!!!

You know it is ironic that the NBA is like 90 percent black but I never hear progressives say that the NBA needs more diversity meaning too many black players.

Are you still on the war debt that averages like 100 billion a year in an economy of 14 trillion dollars per year. It is not the war that will push US over the financial cliff it is SS running out of money a program that Johnson raided to pay for his war and the Great Society leaving behind IOUS. Medicare etc. And the tax cuts that Bush put in place for the wealthy that pay most of the taxes in the US...what is your point. The bottom 50 percent pay about 3 percent of the taxes in US. What part of the US financial juggernaut that is unsustainable don't you understand? The problem has been in the making for decades.

Jew on this if you can:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rahm_Emanuel

During his original 2002 campaign, Emanuel "indicated his support of President Bush's position on Iraq, but said he believed the president needed to better articulate his position to the American people".[10] One of the major goals he spoke of during the race was "to help make health care affordable and available for all Americans".[10]
Moskal also charged that Emanuel had dual citizenship with Israel and had served in the Israeli Army.[35] Emanuel did not serve in the Israeli army, but was a civilian volunteer assisting the Israel Defense Forces for a short time during the 1991 Gulf War, repairing truck brakes in one of Israel's northern bases with Sar-El.[36][37] Emanuel brought together a coalition of Chicago clergy to denounce the incident. He recalled, "One of the proudest moments of my life was seeing people of my district from all backgrounds demonstrate our common values by coming together in response to this obvious attempt to divide them."[10] Moskal's comments were denounced as anti-Semitic by Kaszak.[35]

emanuel was born in chicago, illinois to jewish parents.[4] his father, benjamin m. emanuel, a jerusalem-born pediatrician, was a member of the irgun.[5][6] his mother, marsha smulevitz, was the daughter of a chicago union organizer.[1] she worked in the civil rights movement and owned, briefly, a local rock and roll club.[5] she is now a psychiatric social worker.[5] the two met in chicago in the 1950s.[1] emanuel's older brother ezekiel j. emanuel is an oncologist and bioethicist, and his brother ari emanuel a hollywood talent agent.[7] he has an adopted sister, shoshanna, 14 years his junior.[5]

This is what is father was a member of: Change Jew to white and you would have the KKK. Your God Obama's right hand man's father was a member of the KKK.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irgun

The Irgun policy was based on what was then called Revisionist Zionism founded by Ze'ev Jabotinsky. According to Howard Sachar, "The policy of the new organization was based squarely on Jabotinsky's teachings: every Jew had the right to enter Palestine; only active retaliation would deter the Arabs; only Jewish armed force would ensure the Jewish state".[2]; Thursday, March 11, 2010 at 8:44:00 PM CST

Bush administration or the role of James Carville in the Bill Clinton administration.

bruce said...: john,

Ebonics evolves faster than plain english and I like to try and keep up with it. Mainstream phrases like "chill out" & "what's up" started out ebonicly, though, the word "debil" would probably be more like Moronics. I misread the end of your earlier post, I've got a friend who tries to tell me lately that when most anything bad happens its the devil, so it was on my brain i think.

I got questions too. Like, where were the big opposition groups when they passed the NAFTA-type stuff that sells-out our economy?
And, Where are the big groups opposing all the recent school closings? That's just retarded to choose to spend our money blowing people up halfway across the world, instead of on the education of our people here. Seems pretty bass-ackwards to me.

It sounds like you checked out the finances and stuff and I plan to look into that further, thanks for the info. I've evaluated the tea party movement on my own a little bit and have determined it not to be a cult in my opinion. What has your own evaluation turned up about it's cult status? Do you agree with Ol' Bill after thought and/or study? Or do you just take his word for it and 'Project Mockingbird' that shit?
This is my favorite cult test: http://www.orange-papers.org/orange-cult.html

Bill Maher gets paid to have extreme views like Michael Moore and Rush Limbaugh types do. Those types seem to get more and more extreme with age and their time in the spotlight. They play with our civilization like a it's gang war, following whatever the people with the same colored handkerchiefs are doing and ridiculing most all of who they see as their rival gang's actions. They just seem to have it set in their minds to oppose the other guys without much actual thought. It takes all kinds to make the world go round, if we didn't have followers, then the leaders would only have one person to lead I guess.
"Selling out" and "Buying in" could be considered polar opposites yet they so often mean the exact same thing.

Check this out:

http://washingtonpolicyblog.typepad.com/washington_policy_center_/2009/02/washington-state-is-not-44th-in-per-pupil-spending-on-education.html

•Each year Washington spends more than $9,500 per student, more than at any time in state history, adjusted for inflation.

•This amounts to $237,500 for a classroom of 25 students for a nine-month year. Even if the teacher's salary were $100,000, all the rest would be available for administration and special programs.

•As it is, less than 59 cents of every education dollar reaches the classroom.

•Over 35 years, the number of students grew 25%, while the number of public school employees grew 77%.

•The majority of public education employees are not classroom teachers.

•Public schools may not hire just any qualified person to teach. Only people holding a state-approved certificate are allowed. None of the 5,000 people being laid off at Microsoft can teach in a public school, although private schools will be able to hire these talented individuals.

•Less than 36% of 8th graders have achieved grade-level proficiency in math and reading on the NAEP, the national "gold-standard" for assessing student achievement.

•About one-third of public high school students fails to graduate from high school.

•Over half (52 percent) of students entering community or technical colleges have to take remedial math, English or reading courses to catch up. 37 percent of stduents entering our two-year and four-year collegs must take remedial math or English courses.

Blue Springs (zip 64015) public schools spend $4,819 per student. The average school expenditure in the U.S. is $6,058. There are about 16 students per teacher in Blue Springs (zip 64015).

What is the difference between Blue Springs and Washington State:

I wonder if they will publish it??
It's 100% true based on my own past experiences.

Low Crime But...
...At what cost? If you drive through Lenexa late at night, unless you are driving a newer vehicle, you are pretty likely to be pulled over by police officers to explain yourself. They have license plate scanning cameras attached to their police cars that read the license plates of every car they pass on either side of the road, so if you have unpaid parking tickets anywhere, they will take you to jail. If you stay at a hotel in Lenexa, the police will likely be reviewing your phone call records and will pay you a visit if you make too many phone calls. The police will even come calling on you for information if you have a family member with tickets, and even ask to search your car/hotel room for them. Lenexa has video cameras at most all major intersections. A pretty safe place to be for sure, just make sure you make enough money or you may not enjoy living there. :)

It does make sense to me that the police state would advance more quickly in Lenexa since they have ample resources to implement it.; Friday, March 19, 2010 at 12:36:00 AM CDT

"But if the United States does decide to impose tariffs on China, Chen said, American companies operating in China, which account for more than 60 percent of China's exports to the United States, would surely be hurt the most." --Sounds like a good idea to me, bringing the jobs back here, oh yeah!

"Chen said if the U.S. actions were geared toward decreasing America's trade imbalance by limiting imports, it wouldn't work. Perhaps imports from China would decrease, but that wouldn't mean that Americans would start producing goods such as telephones and televisions again. 'That production isn't going to return to America, that's just not practical,' he said. 'Globalization has changed all that.'"

This guy's got huge balls and as a "free" human being I am very much offended and i'd bet that others are too. So this asshole says that it's not practical for the US to produce things huh. Maybe they'll swallow that line of shit in China where they still heavily censor the media and internets but not over here Mister Commerce Minister.
Well Mister Chen, it would actually be quite practical to produce our own stuff again... that is if more Americans told you to take your globalization and stick it up your pu pu platter! There are lots of US citizens who need jobs, who don't want your globalization, citizens who don't want to be dependent on China for anything but good general tso's chicken.

This guy wants the US to export military technology like satellites and blackhawk engines to help balance trade, yeah right, it would barely make a dent in the trade imbalance and since China has a massive military, the US would not be smart to give their armies more tech. This guy is saying that his country will keep producing consumer crap for the US and the US will keep giving them nothing of value in return and that's the way it should stay. That sort of thing is not really good for either group of peoples in the long run. I don't believe for a second that Mister Chen has the best interests of the US or the Chinese people in mind. So on behalf of many US citizens and The "People's" Republic of China, I say: Globalize this dick mutha fucker!!! Dey took our jobs!!!

Anonymous,
You're talking about the future like it's set in stone, it's quite limiting. If we're just doomed then I might as well just go back to sleep.

China may be "ahead" of the US in 10 years, but only if we continue to participate in the policies of Chen and other globalists. It's a fact that we have the ability to produce our own stuff again in the US. I don't really see how China needs the US at all. Like for what? The US ain't puttin rice on their tables. The US is mostly just giving China a bunch of hotair for their time and sweatshop labor. The more we advance into globalism, the more the hotair cools and the economic balloon deflates. I think it's time for the US to start opting out of globalism. It's time to start getting things in order so the US can get by on it's own and declare bankruptcy. Just say to China and other nations, "Sorry bout that hotair debt, we're gonna kinda do our own thing for a minute and we'll get ya back later with something of actual value when we get above self-sustainable again. I don't see why most countries can't produce their own basics, like the things that are most commonly used such as food, clothing, shelters, cars, electronics, etc. The bulk of that stuff needs to come from right at home or we'll get trapped in a system of nations being dependent on other nations for their survival and/or maintaining lifestyles.

Once everybody is so tied to everybody else by economics, then the logical progression of that is a world government to tie everyone with one code of behavior. Then humans could become so connected by bullshit that they have lessening goals, dreams, aspirations, and real connection to each other. They would just run the same ratrace like everybody else, having increasingly limited knowledge and skillsets, becoming increasingly unable to relate to each other on a real level, more connected to the fakery of the economic and legal structures that would be put in place should humanity continue on this counterfeit path.

Thanks, some of your posts sure do get me thinking but the racial posts tend to discourage rational thought though, intentional or not.
When you say: "I think it is too late for the US to go back only because it would take a huge effort to retool and open new modern factories", what I hear is: "screw that it's too much hassle". I can't think of a better hassle to have in this economic system. Gradually raise tarriffs and production should gradually come back over here. Then there's the construction aspect, somebody's got to build the factories and supply the made-in-USA building materials and equipment. Then more people would have more money to spend on more crap but it would be made in the USA crap. It'd be like a booster-shot for the economy, independence, freedom, quality of life, etc...etc...

"Where would the US get the money for such plants..."
- We have fake money, we can create and distribute it how we want. And to bring up a good point that is often made in paragon radio programming, there always seems to be enough money for wars. I think we should stop invading other people's shit and use some of that money here.

"...and where would we get the people to staff such plants?"
- Well MTJ pretty much covered that one with the blogpost that we're currently commenting on. Finally came back around to that. =D I guess it's time for "Where the jobs could be".

There's plenty of workers; workers that could eventually work less hours for the same relative pay if our economy was a lot less dependent on other economies. And happier workers would likely produce higher quality crap too, so that we would have plenty of crap that doesn't wear out quick and we would need less crap produced overall.

"I know that the Demo nuts want to legalize 10-20 million illegals maybe they could be trained for such jobs but as I stated before new factories would not need that many people since most of the work would be done with machines unless we went all the way back to manually intense industries but then who would you get to work in such sweat shops?"
- Actually seal up the border and legalize all the illegals that are already here, I think that would be a good start. Sweatshops wouldn't happen here anytime soon, americans are too spoiled to put up with that kind of thing right now, just good jobs for good people. The paper-pushers could do light factory work too, since they don't even push much actual papers anymore anyway.

I don't think that taking all someone's wealth is cool but taking enough so that everybody here lives at least above poverty levels sounds good to me.

"What will the US look like the day after she defaults on her debt?"
- The US will have to get on payment plans with the other economies or something but US could have the basics of our lifestyles covered within our own economy and then all that fiat debt means shit to US. The US could produce lots of food and shiny crap for export to pay the other economies back with over time.

I guess I believe in me. I also think that this is a country with noble intentions that has made mistakes but has been a beacon for other countries to follow. I'm a free-thinker.A center-left registered Democrat with a real fierce independent streak. I hope this answers your question?

Anonymous,

I have answered some of your crazy post with facts and logic. You choose not to recognized or just go into another racist rant on something else. I was a history
major in college so I tend to know what I'm talking about. When I don't I'll admit it and get educated on the subject.

Your a soldier in the culture war?? Really Anonymous?? Really??
That is so Bill O'Reily,Laura Ingram,Glen Beck or insert a so-called patriot who says they are a patriot cause they have a talkshow.

Culture Warrior!!!! Please !!!; Thursday, March 25, 2010 at 3:38:00 AM CDT

beeroo said...: I'm with ya there, Marcus. I think churches that make big profits(pun not intended) like that should be taxed on their income too. Legalization and taxation of drugs would take care of a lot of problems. I don't know about prostitution though. That would mean that more people would use hookers and the diseases would be much more prevalent in the general population. I don't wanna have to be like: Alright, I'm about to score with this chick, now I just need 3 rubbers, crab shampoo, and a dental-dam.; Friday, March 26, 2010 at 2:55:00 AM CDT
Marcus said...: Legalizing prostitution would make it safer for all involved, I think. Also, it might help cut down on rape and molestation. Hell, just legalize prostitutes for priests and see if they stop doodling the little ones. How'd you know it was me, Bruce?; Friday, March 26, 2010 at 12:56:00 PM CDT
Anonymous said...: John: I don't support Neocons I don't know why you keep trying to put me in their camp. I don't support the Jewish state. There are many wars going on here in the US...I am involved in one that is obviously over your head.

You say you were a history major in school...meaning that you didn't get your degree. You should have studied Black History...you could have easily been hired at Harvard with such a degree.

The US is filled with people that have been raised with the idea that they are owed the lifestyle that they have become accustomed to.
I think the the US is in serious trouble that is the financial time bomb that has been in the making for decades is about ready to go off. I really hope that I am wrong and your new Lord and Savior Obama can save us all.; Friday, March 26, 2010 at 3:22:00 PM CDT
Anonymous said...: The Churches do a lot: tax them and many of them would be forced to close. They provide many services for people in need. People that attend services by and large give far more than most liberals.; Friday, March 26, 2010 at 3:26:00 PM CDT
Anonymous said...: Well now, Baker, you spent some time throwing out some good red meat so I thought it would only be stand up to respond to your words. Your first paragraph has merit but once again it would cost a huge sum of money for such projects though I do know that some older factories are being retooled for so-called green tech. I mean even Obama is throwing the Nuclear Energy Industry billions to try and build some new plants here; even though the cost associated with such plants is staggering not to mention the fact that we have lost much of the skills to build such plants here. It reminds me of the Chinese being called upon to build high speed rail here because we don't have the infrastructure to do so anytime soon.
I mean you can't just take a laid off paper shuffler and say here go work on the new rail lines being built. Trying to train such people might take years adding to the cost and to a program that is only going to have a short build life. I am just not seeing a bunch of uneducated gang bangers or crystal methheads eagerly waiting in lines to be trained for such jobs assuming you could even get them to show up on time. I suppose we could just let all the illegals do such jobs; but then if they are legal problem solved.
I think the issue is really that we let Kissinger and others like him use the US to open China which enriched his brothers at the expense of American workers. It is true that we got cheaper products and less pollution here but the cost has been high. The real solution will be for the US to start closing US bases overseas and commitment to defend everyone against everyone but this will result in the total loss of confidence in the US dollar. Can the US survive sure but countries like China etc will want hard stuff for the things that we won't be able to make here thereby at least for the short run turning the US into a second rate power or worse.
I am glad that you are so optimistic. We know doubt need more optimism.
I will end by saying that this country is a Republic not a Democracy meaning that when you say that the wealthy should pay more you have just moved the US into the morass of a Democracy; meaning that the majority rules so that the small numbered wealthy will simply be taxed out of existence. I know that hardcore progressives salivate at the prospect of making the evil rich give it up for the so-called greater good but at some point the rich will decide to get out of town. At that point if it comes we will see if people like you let them go. I have no problem taking all of their wealth but remember once their wealth is consumed the government will have to go to the next group down the food chain until in the end there is nothing left.; Friday, March 26, 2010 at 3:50:00 PM CDT
Marcus said...: Please, do close all the churches. Tell the 200 or so kids in Wisconsin that the pope allowed to be raped how much the church helps. Oh, wait, they were deaf- do you know how to sign it? I think it's just a one-fingered gesture.; Friday, March 26, 2010 at 10:14:00 PM CDT

John said...: I don't care if you are a neo-con,conservative,libertarian or whatever. The fact is you used the term "culture warrior" to descibe your struggle. Question? Against who or what are you struggling??.

As far as my education. I do have a degree so your "lameass knock" doesn't fly with me.

The deal is you rant the rightwing talking points that is delivered on talkradio from the usaul suspects. (culture warrior and all that "KAKA".)

Go and jerk yourself a soda and get a grip!!!!; Saturday, March 27, 2010 at 2:34:00 AM CDT

Anonymous said...: Catholicism is not dead. The attacks on the Church contiune and no doubt will go on but dead...don't think so.
You should become a Muslim, Marcus you would fit right in.
It was the Church that kept Europe from being overrun with Muslims, Marcus. And now people like you cheer on the fall of Europe.

Anonymous said...: I don't rant the Right Wing radio talking points: let's just say that liberals like you don't represent some of my viewpoints: so the Demo Nut Party is one that I couldn't join. The only thing that binds the Demo Nuts together is their hatred of conservative white males.
When we are gone people like you will turn your hate against each other much like what happened in Yugoslavia and other such places where the center gave way to the forces fighting it. Hell without us we would have to be invented.; Saturday, March 27, 2010 at 4:11:00 PM CDT
