		<description>What I think the fall out from the Wright-Obama debacle will be is the end of Welfare and any caring whatsoever about &quot;racism&quot; bandied about by pretty much anyone.

Welfare has been essentially a bribe by white voters to black innner city people not to riot. It&#039;s been effective, though you can see the costs (Wright, Obama). But it is no longer affordable.

Declining economic activity means the pie is shrinking, under rising prices, falling wages, declining employment as everything is shipped over seas. Under that economic stress, voters want tax cuts. They won&#039;t sacrifice police, fire, and other things that benefit them. How about cutting things that have gigantic signs over them, virtually, saying &quot;No Whites Need Apply?&quot;

Welfare is largely seen as a transfer of money from whites to blacks. Ditto for National Health Care (free health care for Mexican citizens, exclusion for white working/middle class voters). No one really believes whites will ever benefit from Welfare or Health Care. In good times there&#039;s an argument for it. In bad times there is no money.

The fight over declining revenue spent by governments, as pressed voters with lower wages, higher prices, greater uncertainty, want tax cuts, and the Liberal Establishment that is built on delivering money to various minority groups, is going to be VERY ugly.

The good times allowed people to delay or disguise the real conflict, but those good times are over now for what seems to be a long time, and it&#039;s going to happen (this conflict over budget resources) all over the Western World.

Let me add -- military spending means lots of dollars for stuff, that employs white and blue collar voters. And reduces uncertainty. That CBS would run an anchor baby story says volumes about how the attitude has changed.</description>

		<description>As I watch this Democratic primary unfold its plot line each week, I am reminded of some of the bizarre and unhinged pop psychology therapies that cropped up during my younger days.

I see some of these leftist blog cesspools and it appears that 90% of the commenters have escaped from a session in Scream Therapy and they are finishing it online.

(for a review of some of these wild sessions, take a look here)

http://www.uia.net/~messiah7/brk_fringepsych.htm


Jeremiah Wright, Louis Farrakhan, Rev. Meeks, Rev Moss, Bill Ayers, Bernadine Dorhn, Frank Marshall Davis, Father Pfleger, Sam Graham-Felsen, extremely radical professors in academia, Cynthia K. Miller, Jennifer Mason, Ali Abunimah, Tony Rezco, Rashid Khalidi and Edward Said form an inner circle (see the link below) for Sen. Obama throughout his lifetime.

http://www.debbieschlussel.com/archives/2008/01/obamas_nation_o.html

The commonality between that inner circle and the shrieking leftist blog sites is one of a close to the surface need to tilt at windmills and rattle sabers at imaginary dragons.  It is the invention of antagonists to assuage a bubbling antagonism, that is...there is no victim if there are no victimizers, so the need for screaming at Havey the Invisible Rabbit is better than not screaming at all.  

The catharsis of pushing revolution boils the impatient blood, rather than suffering a mundane workaday life in the process of progress through evolution.

The need to be angry is fed a steady stream of fake fireplace logs, and imagined slights are just as good to keep the fuel burning.

Socialism, Communism, leftism, black nationalism, survive/thrive on the faux-grievance
because they could not withstand the scrutiny and deeper analysis of calm reflection.  They survive on impulse and angry impulse is best to excite the heartrate and get the fists pumping.

Whether one race is more easily attracted to that type of adrenaline rush, as Jeremiah Wright suggests, does not seem to hold water.  What is true, however, is that some groups have been more conditioned to &quot;impulse buy&quot; into Victimology.

Leftist whites form the eye-bulging screamers on blog sites, seeking absolution from the &quot;original sin&quot; of their whiteness.  They can&#039;t seem to scream enough to ever obtain their catharsis, they engage in the confrontation taunting against the dragon that needs slaying...all that &quot;whiteness&quot; represents...because they can&#039;t get &quot;clean&quot; without it.

This forms a dance of necessity, finding new victims wherever and however possible.  And then screaming about the &quot;antagonists&quot; who &quot;created&quot; those victims.  In the minds of the perpetual patients in this &quot;impulse therapy&quot;...they are cleansing themselves, obtaining catharsis. The &quot;victims&quot; play their role, sometimes happily...to see if they can obtain any spoils, basking in the sympathy.

In reality, nobody wins in that imaginary world of phony victims and phonier swordsman. We all lose, because it retards progress in the real world of workaday evolution.

Sen. Obama has an inner circle consisting of people he has sought and embraced who are monarchs. royalty and loyal subjects in the world of Impulse Victimization.

And that, is what needs to explored in greater detail.</description>

		<description>Professor Hanson,

I&#039;ve been waiting to hear your thoughts on the global &quot;food crisis&quot; for some time now.  I&#039;m an avid reader of all of your books, especially your history books. Several months ago I bought your book, &quot;Fields Without Dreams&quot;.  It was an absolutely fantastic, eye-opening, yet heart-breaking read.  In fact, the book left such an indelible mark on me that I passed it on to my mom, who read it immediately.  She also loved it and felt moved at the serious straits in which farmers today find themselves.  It&#039;s a testament to your skill with prose that two suburban-dwelling Chicagoans (just the sort of demographic that you relentlessly deride in the book, much to my amusement!) found a book about farming (farming!) to be an engaging read.

&quot;Fields Without Dreams&quot; opened my mind to the realities of the modern farmer, and it piqued my interest in the world of agriculture and farming.  Now whenever I see an article about such topics in the news, I snatch them up and read them immediately.  In much the same way that your history books introduced me to the concept of &quot;the West&quot; as an identity, so &quot;Fields Without Dreams&quot; opened my mind to the back-breaking and heart-breaking realities of the modern agrarian.

Just one suggestion:  Get to know a suburbanite or two; we&#039;re not as bad as you may think!  (Although your descriptions of the suburbanite gardener often had me howling with laughter.)

As a side note, as I&#039;m writing this on Friday morning, you are on the radio with the Dennis Miller show.  It&#039;s always great to hear you on the radio!


Keep up the great work,

		<description>To Mark Bishop: 

Differently of what said Jean-Jacques Rousseau – “L&#039;homme est né libre, et partout il est dans les fers” (“Man is born free; and everywhere he is in chains”) – man is not born free but slave of nature and social conditions. And therefore the great goal of man is to liberate himself above all from the slavery to his own nature, because social slavery is consequence of spiritual slavery. (I know that because I was born in a country of slaves.)  You, Mr. Bishop, want to say that black people cannot be free, because they are slaves for their innate (or original) nature. I understand why a sinister individual, like Rev. Wright, preaches this “philosophy” of natural (o metaphysical) slavery: his great (or totalitarian) goal is to transform free men in slaves. No. I don’t agree with you. Man, black or white, yellow or red, is slave not for his “eternal slave’s nature”, but, as Buddhists say, for his own ignorance and unwillingness to be free.</description>

		<description>Why do conservatives Like yourself write as if Blacks can be held to the same standards as whites? As in your thought experiment above. Do you like beating your head against the wall

of the double standard for Blacks? 

Don&#039;t you realize that they were slaves, are oppressed, and any behavior is therefore licensed?</description>

		<description>If I wanted to find for Rev. Wright a literary prototype, I would indicate the father Karamazov from Dostoevsky’s novel “The Brothers Karamazov”, old buffoon who delights in exhibiting his most repugnant deeds. But the insane agitation around the pastor-clown reminds me of Pierre Boulle’s novel “La planète des singes”. Moreover I feel myself to be in the Monkey Planet. One can remember the film “Planet of the Apes” (1968) based on Boulle’s novel with the magnificent Charlton Heston (here I must say that his El Cid is an absolute masterpiece: Heston impersonates not simply a hero but the heroic essence itself). The humans become like animals without intelligence and the apes are transformed in intelligent beings like humans once. But now I would propose a new version of this truly prophetic film. The Apes take the power (in free elections naturally) over the white race and reduce it to animal state. Meanwhile in a secret underground laboratory, forgotten by all, a crazy scientist continues his extravagant researches no more disturbed by his judicious colleagues. For the role of this crazy scientist I would propose Woody Allen. He wants to revive his beloved brothers Marx, but makes an error and revives John Wayne with his famous Winchester and Texan hat.
The new Earth now is ruled by the Supreme Chief Mac-Obamus together with his spiritual adviser Venerable Master of All Sciences Jeremiah The Wise.
The last scene: John Wayne enters in the castle of the Supreme Chief and Wise Jeremiah. All guardians cry: a white man cannot enter in the sacred abode of our divine Rulers! “We will see”, John Wayne says, “I don’t believe in the authority and judgment of irresponsible monkeys”, showing his infallible Winchester to the terrorized apes. All those who know John Wayne’s films can easily image what follows.</description>

		<description>Of course, Michelle Obama would like the nation to get past the controversy on the so-called Reverend;  after all,  if Americans overlook the troubling, racist history he shares with her husband, political victory is assured.

Well, I do not want to &#039;get past it&#039;  any more than I want to get past the cowardly attacks of 9-11 and Pearl Harbor.  I choose not to forget the Killing Fields of Cambodia, just as I choose to not forget the atrocities of Hitler, Papa Doc, Menghistu, Suharto, Milosevic, Mugabi, LBJ or Khomeini.   

I want my children and grandchildren to study those evils.  I want them to understand the ramifications of hatred, racism and genocide.   Only then will they be able to work for peace.

As for Michelle, I understand she been ashamed of America for most of her life.   Why did she not simply &#039;get past it?&#039;    Bah.  Stupid woman.   She and her haughty, self-righteous husband reminded me of this quote:

 &quot;The more we do to you, the less you seem to believe we are doing it.&quot;  

Spoken by none other than Auschwitz-Birkenau&#039;s Angel of Death, Dr. Joseph Mengele,</description>

		<description>&quot;The ghosts of Howard Cossell and Jimmy the Greek, Don Imus, and Michael Richards apparently have now all been absolved by Barack Obama. Thanks to the bar he has lowered in reacting to racism, no one will ever be disowned for their racist remarks, but always contextualized and excused. Watch what follows as a consequence of what Obama has wrought.&quot;

Are you kidding? Wright or no Wright, if any white person ever said what they said in public, in any context, they&#039;d be excoriated publicly, by the black community, media and the left wing, and ostracized for a thousand years.  

Just tellin&#039; it like it is... from deep in the heart of Hymie-town.</description>

		<description>The most obvious conclusion for the semi-rational voter is that the so called Racial Healers are huge liars &amp; hypocrites. The only healing they want is to heal the lack of large sums of $$ in their greedy little mitts!!</description>

		<description>I think the Wright fiasco has more potential benefits than harm.  It has shown Obama to be hopelessly inadequate for the job he wants.  I suggest the Obama&#039;s direct their magic healing powers toward their &quot;downright mean&quot; pastor and remove themselves from politics until they can report a cure.  Wright&#039;s surprising level of support from such as the NAACP, black media pundits, and black academia has exposed the enormous amount of black racism and dementia present in &quot;Black America.&quot;  It raises all sorts of questions.  Perhaps the typical white person&#039;s sympathy has been foolishly misplaced.  One might ask about all the black comedians who have based their careers on put downs of Whitey without anyone crying foul.  And what exactly are they teaching in these Black Studies programs?  Do we really want to pay for that stuff?  It might cause one to think Rev. King had it right all along: equal rights and equal opportunity are due everyone.  Do we really need special deals for minorities?  Could the needs of white folks be just as important?  We&#039;ve been getting a monologue on race from the usual suspects.  Let a true dialogue begin.</description>
