		<description>First Time visitor just surfing by; Sorry Professor but the pessimistic diatribes make me want to puke. If I only had a bullet, I shoot my self. 

On second thought, Let&#039;s all line up in single file, DMV style and I&#039;ll point the gun at my heart and take as many miserable souls behind me as fate or destiny will allow. 

Please tell me there is more to this site than a bunch of whiners, postulating on why this country is in the decline it is. Look in the F-ing mirror and tell me how you think you are not the reason. 

If our country falls, We will go down in history as the cowardice generation who spent their lives on sites like this never engaging the tyranny of our day in face to face confrontation. Get the F up and let&#039;s go to Washington DC and let the Fascist in power know we are through with the BS! 62 million disagreed with the &quot;change&quot;. Is that not enough? What are you waiting for? A train to Auschwitz, Treblinka, Krakow?

Oh too naive, I can feel it oozing from your highly intellectual mealy yellow spines. Can&#039;t , Won&#039;t, Never; we&#039;re too civilized!

THIS IS THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER- &quot;All that is necessary for the forces of evil to win in the world is for enough good men to do nothing&quot; -- Sir Edmund Burke

Grows some balls and let&#039;s get on with the battle before us.

		<description>#47 Geoffgo,
Bravo, you propose to make war on the entire rest of the world.  Very libertarian of you indeed.  The problem with libertarians (and Paleoconservatives) talking about international and defense affairs is that they generally don&#039;t know their fundamentum from a fossa about those subjects.  Your post is an excellent example of that sort of thing.

Let us take an example of your strategy at work.  On 9/11 an act of war was perpetrated against the USA.  By whom?  Not by a nation-state, which the US could hold to account and subject to your threat of it being the last thing that nation ever did by nuking it.  We were attacked by a transnational group of terrorists.  Some of them were holed up in Afghanistan.  We could threaten to nuke Afghanistan forward into the Chalcolithic Age from its previous cultural level, but Al-Qaida and the Islmaist movement that spawned it are much bigger than Afghanistan.  And it&#039;s pretty plain we would have little idea of which caves to nuke in order to get the right men.  

Bush decided to strike at the underlying &quot;root causes&quot; of the jihadist enterprise, and did so quite effectively in Iraq.  He sought to pit our big idea, liberty and prosperity in the modern World, against their big idea: a 7th Century style Caliphate in which Muslims would swagger around lording it over the wretched Dhimmis, and take the wealth and power the West possesses away from the USA.  It belongs to them, because they&#039;re Muslims dontcherknow.  Allah said so.  The lefties like Obama attacked the Iraq Campaign because they never had the wit to understand what is going on or how to fight it.  Looking at the fuss over Gitmo they still don&#039;t.  

But it takes money and resources to fight a modern war.  If you don&#039;t fight the enemy wins by default.  In the modern world if you let the enemy win by default you generally don&#039;t get peace, you get tyranny that eliminates all freedom.  So, rather than being a threat to freedom, defense spending is its support.  Do you think we&#039;d have any liberty if we had lost to the Nazis or Communists, by not exerting ourselves and spending immense resources to oppose them?

Basically your propsal is that, in order to reduce our budget deficit and keep our defense expenditures at a minimum, the USA commit genocide any time somebody seriously challenges us.  I can&#039;t go along wiht that.</description>

		<description>The paradox of Wall Street behavior is summed up in one phrase: Devil take the hindmost.  The notions of responsibility and stewardship have gone.  Jack Bogle at Vanguard has written extensively, and he even has strong disagreements with the way Vanguard has been run recently.  I haven&#039;t read everything he&#039;s written, but I can recommend his first book (&lt;i&gt;Bogle on Mutual Funds&lt;/i&gt;) and his last (&lt;i&gt;Enough&lt;/i&gt;).</description>

You want to imitate vaguely the way Rudy Giuliani cleaned up New York.  Set boundaries and punish offenders.  Simple.

But the mine fields would be too messy.  Limbs everywhere, man, woman, child screaming.  &quot;Momma!  Papa! It hurts mui malo!&quot;  Even thought it would stop illegal immigration cold in one month.    

Israel showed that a fence works.  That&#039;s the best way.</description>

		<description>---Somewhere some lazy selfish academic dreamed up multiculturalism and is still smiling, “Now I can do whatever I want—drop the hurt in giving F’s, skip out on tutoring the rather difficult to tutor, stop insisting on acrimonious standards at tenure hearings—as long as I mouth these platitudes.” The faculty has become bloated Soviet-era apparatchiks on the May-Day grandstands, saluting the passing missiles, mouthing “comrade” and the “revolution” before lumbering off to the dachas on the Black Sea. Trace the evolution of our therapeutic notions of criminology, of government, of child-raising even, and it inevitably leads you back to the university.---

That is a scarey number of social experiments per minute. If we crunched the number of violations into a counter for the entire US population, it would probably out spin the national debt like a cheetah to a snail. At to think that western society grew from a mere ten commandments plus common sense and a keen sense of competition.
The latest poster boy is Bernie Madoff. He went 20 years under the SEC by offering something for nothing. Enron and Global X-ing were not that long ago.  Crime in America is a well known endeavor and it costs us. Insane volumes of rule making is the sport of petty tyrants.
If the cops are corrupt or selectively enforcing the laws, then the laws and government have lost their foundation.
How did the executive branch extend itself into a position of the supreme leader of the legislative branch?</description>

 Good points, I been looking at that Korea dynamic fer a while also. The &quot;libertytowns&quot; dependency becomes damnin&#039;...Your Truman parallels seemed apparent to me also. In reading into it, it appeared to me that Truman was elected on his &quot;Wil Rogers&quot; cartoony &quot;Aw Shucks&quot; demeanor by the Chicago racketeer bosses basically to continue the assuage policy towards the Okie elements who were home from the war..an&#039; still outta land.</description>
