A "Pet Rock" in the White House...

[amicus]

A good many years ago a smart marketeer bet he could sell anything to the public. So, he created the idea of a "Pet Rock", and surprised the marketing world by actually selling rocks at premium prices.

The Progressive left liberals picked up on that quickly and began selling chunks of highway for environmental freaks to tidy up.

Then they began selling trips into wilderness areas, convincing their concrete bound city liberals that there was value in barren land. The public will buy anything.

It was liked the "Man in the Gray Flannel Suit", transmogrifying into a Drag Queen in tight pink leotards selling butt fucking and cocksucking as the latest trend.

Not a leap of faith to connive into the hearts and vaginas of the fair sex, liberated, and exploring their sexuality on a continuing basis, thanks to IUD's, birth control pills and condoms, (sell em in all colors and with ruffles with ridges!) You bet, sold out, big market.

Reproductive rights...my, oh, my, what a sweet term for killing unwanted babies, especially if government will kick in a few bucks, good for the doctor business, besides, we all know the world is overpopulated and if you have even one child it is one too many. Sell it baby, sell it!

The public will buy anything. Even guys marrying guys and girl on girl. Such a deal!

Including a black faced empty suit in the Oval Office...Naw, we couldn't sell that to the public, no way.

Way.

Good ole marketing ingenuity. Lets all apologize for slavery and segregation, besides white girls love those big black dicks.

Look closely above and you will find in outline form the political platform of the Democrat Party for 2008, along with a media based Hate Bush campaign that hasn't yet subsided.

After the Democrats have created the energy crisis by preventing energy production and apologize for the Caleefornia Brown-outs, to the extent even the Mexicans are leaving, they corrupted the mortgage and financial world in the 90's under Slick Willy & cohorts, they cheerily occupy the seats of government insisting the answers lie in higher taxes and more regulation.

The public will buy anything, right?

Things ain't great in River City, folks, we need a Clint Eastwood or a John Wayne to ride roughshod over sumpin, eh? (gee I like to write)

The always adorable amicus...

We need no urging to hate Bush.

As for the rest of your rant? Nothing new here, sweetie.

Since we disagree with you, we must be silly, uninformed, unpatriotic, blah blah blah. Same old thing the neo-cons have been saying for the past decade.

Think again.

But aren't your cardboard cut out moral exemplars, Eastwood and Wayne just as false. Marion Wayne, BA fine arts, draft dodger doesnt quite live up to his own bullshit let alone yours Ami. Creating godmen from any sort of human clay is bound to lead to disappointment whichever wing of society or politics they are drawn from.

 

[amicus]

Of course they are cardboard cutouts, they are actors and can play any role.

The point is that they, can, sometimes, become symbols with wide public exposure to illustrate a point. I can understand you being miffed as the usual Hollywood politics is and always has been left wing, and you certainly make use of that at every opportunity.

While I justify my presence here and identify my participation as an erotic venture which tamer venues shy away from, this is really a pornographic site and most of the vocal activists here occupy the very fringe of acceptable writing and beliefs even for this site.

While this little clique of perverts find just about everything acceptable and beyond the judgment of common people, the truth is that most of these activists occupy the utter fringe, bordering on the criminal.

To balance that comment, there are many excellent writers here who offer well written stories that are not of the 'kinky' variety. Most of the nation does not view sex as recreational of a passtime for jaded and bored hedonists.

I also think that many have one issue they are deeply involved in, either abortion or gay rights, they do not endorse the general pornographic content of those hardcore activists.

anywhere...thems my thoughts at this late hour...

If you knew what you were talking about you would know that John Wayne's given name was Marion Morrison

And that he was about as much of a bigot as is possible. No wonder he's your's and ami's hero.

At least Amicus is upfront about being a bigot.

 

[off2bed]

Amicus, one of the best posts of yours I've read. The hate and subterfuge spewing from the mouths (well, fingers actually) of your detractors just seems to prove that you've touched a nerve.

Oh, sure...mentioning that John Wayne was a bigot is truly "spewing hate."

Good god, you're slow.

You come across as anti WASP so does that make you a bigot?

Rather come across as that (no matter how untrue) than as dimwitted.

You forget, genius, that I come from a very multi-cultural family. I'm as much white as I am indian.

 

[DesertPirate]

Calling me genius, is almost as funny as someone calling you nice

It was sarcasm. I won't bother to explain it, because I don't think you'd understand it.

eta: I'm very nice, but I'm not stupid, and men of your ilk seem to have problems with women more intelligent than you are. You and Amicus are two of a kind. If all I did was *giggle* and *cuddle* you wouldn't have a problem with me at all.

But...I don't give a rat's ass whether you think I'm "nice" or not.

Which means you care as much about what I think as I care about what you think. Simple really.

How wonderful for you.

If anyone had the occasion to watch and listen to the new President's first formal press conference, you will have noted his inability to think on his feet concerning any question.

Not only that but the affectation of a 'Martin Luther King' choirlike or Preacher like intonation when he speaks spontaneously displays a true lack of understanding of the issues as he merely repeated the practiced bromides of the campaign.

In case you never heard it or don't get it, listen to a recording of King's "I have a dream..." rant and note the simularity.

There is a lot of CYA already going on by apologists, saying it may be years before we know if his plans succeed or fail, yeah, sure.

Pissing on a forest fire may be honorable, but unlikely to solve the problem.

I heard further, from several different pundits on the right, that the program is destined to fail with absolutely no chance of success, and all for the same reason, a command economy has never worked and never will.

I shudder thinking of four years of this worthless pandering to interest groups on the left. At least the interest groups of the right, business and industry, produced things, the teachers and labor unions produce nothing of value to anyone.

There is not even the passion and hope engendered that FDR managed to generate in his first few days in office. Back then, people believed that 'Happy Days are here Again'. They weren't of course, Roosevelt's NRA and CCC and all the other command economy programs continued the depression until the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor and war plants went into business and cured the depression.

Rush Limbaugh has been quoted all over the place, hoping that the new President fails. I will go a step more and say that it is inevitable unless the right can sweep the 2010 elections and regain control of Congress, that the plans announced will fail.

It isn't even comparable to pissing on a forest fire, the trillion dollar spending spree will just make the fire burn faster, like pouring an accelerant on a big fire.

Amicus...

I heard the press conference too, ami.

How strange it was to have a sitting president actually give a press conference. We've had so few during the past four years.

And how refreshing it was to have journalists actually ask real questions that demanded real answers, rather than the highly screened and purified pro-Bush crowds we've been accustomed to hearing.

And finally, to have the president give intelligent and competent answers, delivered without sneers or grins or nicknames, the words properly pronounced?

No wonder you're confused.

 

[amicus]

You gotta be kiddin' kiddo! Clinton, Bush and Obama, all have little lists of the reporters they will point to, with a clue as to what the question will be, thas the way they do it. They never venture into the .com area of reporters, they call it "Siberia" and never go there.

Any rational person, familiar with public speaking, would have been embarassed at the poor performance given tonight, the stumbling, stuttering lack of extemporaneous ability to even field a question, let along address it.

That is not just a criticism of this individual, it is a curse of most high intellects, when pondering an answer to a question, the mind offers dozens of options and one practiced at the skill learns quickly. Perhaps he will, but as of yet he has not and it appears has never been in such a high pressure situation long enough to learn.

There is also the difficulty of trying to justify or explain, an unjustifiable, foundationless philosophy or economic system.

No matter how you slice it, a command economy takes from the rich and gives to the poor, it is blatant income redistribution with the use of the power of the gun through laws and edicts and there is no way in hell that kind of intellect is not aware of that.

Then again, liberals have absolutely no conscience and are quite willing to sacrifice any individual for the whole.

Progressive Liberalism is a sick, sick, sick philosophy hurtful to individuals and as soon as this administration has stolen everything it can from those who produce, they will begin enforcing their true Gulag type agenda.

Amicus....

 

[Guest]

You're so cute.

 

[amicus]

Thank you...

 

[JackLuis]

I like how he evaded saying the he wouldn't go after the Bushies for crimes against humanity. He never said he was not going to persue them he just said that He was looking forward not back.

I hope while Obama keeps his eyes on the economy that Holder starts investigating the Bush White House. and brings the charges soon.

 

[amicus]

One wondered what the 'pinko's' would do when there was no more Bush/Cheney to hate....hate em anyway!

A really poor platform for an already damaged administration...probably the worst first three weeks in history?

Ami - have you considered getting help for your paranoia?

On another front - seen any good movies lately?

Of course. They hated Nixon right up until the day he died, and even after.

Amicus

C'mon, Ami. Even you can't believe that. Was it worse than the first three weeks of W. H. Harrison? He was on his death bed for most, or all that time.

How about Lincoln? His first three weeks were marked by the ongoing secession of southern states and, about a month after his inauguration, the Civil war began.

 

[amicus]

Believe it or not, Box, I thought about Harrison and Lincoln as I typed that, should have added, 'modern times', eh?

Ami

Amicus...

I have quoted Ami, very selectively I admit, but I believe that in this point he is dead right.

The main thrust of the current plan will solve nothing. The Administration is merely exchanging private debt for government debt. The taxpayer is now the banker (may their gods help them). Fundamentals have not changed. The current plans will alleviate some of the immediate social pain but they will delay the recovery period way beyond what was necessary or desirable.

What the US government plus the Brits, Germans, French and sundry Europeans are doing is wrong because it is preventing and delaying the diseased parts of the economy from being excised quickly. Failure of particular entities is a necessary and essential part of any healthy economy and in the long run it's better to tackle head on rather than avoid.

Where I disagree with Ami is in seeing it as a left /right political battle. Both the left and right are so institutionally corrupted through their support of particular interest groups that all supposedly idealistic government of whatever flavour obstructs rather than promotes recovery.

Eventually the economy will recover but despite the efforts of politicians rather than because of them. Politicians need to get out of the way - but they will not of course.
