Market failure?

Free markets, Bah! Command and control economies are more, “efficient,” (according to every dictator of any nominal standing).

Reports from Zimbabwe say bakeries have run out of flour and there will be no bread in the foreseeable future.

The Agriculture Ministry has confirmed that this year’s wheat harvest yield of 145,000 tonnes is only one third of the country’s requirements.  ~news.bbc.co.uk

Surely the government should do something to combat this, “market failure”?

Critics have blamed President Mugabe’s policies, especially the seizure of farms from their former white owners, for ordinary Zimbabweans’ hardship.

A foreign currency crisis has helped push inflation to record levels in recent months.

Government price controls have been blamed for worsening shortages.

For his part, President Mugabe has accused foreign governments of trying to interfere in Zimbabwe’s affairs – saying some businesses had raised prices without justification as part of a Western plot to oust him.  ~news.bbc.co.uk

Entirely predictable.

Kangaroo Congress

Most ethical congress ever? Changing votes after banging the gavel then trying to cover it up by declaring the voting machine is broken? Nice. Hugo would be proud.

Is this what Nancy Pelosi meant by ‘ethical?’ Apparently she was using the loose definition of the term in order to encompass all the manifold variants of nuance that the word could possibly contain. Kind of a multi-interpretational approach.

In this case ethical means lying, cheating, and stealing votes on the House Floor in addition to your basic public theft. (See here as well.) Continue reading Kangaroo Congress

Poverty Tour?

3 dollar Edwards

Possibly the lamest Democratic candidate for President… ever. John Edwards is as about as genuine as a three dollar bill. Perhaps he should hand them out at stops on his poverty tour?

Democratic presidential hopeful John Edwards launched his bid for the White House last December in New Orleans’ devastated Ninth Ward. Since then, the former North Carolina senator has pinned his campaign largely on ending poverty in America. This weekend, Edwards returns to New Orleans, where he will begin a 12-city tour through poor America. The journey mirrors the famous 1968 tour of impoverished areas by then-senator and presidential hopeful Robert F. Kennedy. ~npr.org

My contrarian senses tell me that the subconscious message of John, “The Future is Now,” Edwards’ poverty tour, ie the “Road to One America,” is that his ultimate goal is to promote poverty as the radical solution to the inherent inequality of the, “two America’s,” …as well as the devastating effect the overbearing capitalist over-consuming country is having on the globe by singlehandedly devastating the world with global warming.

See no evil (except America)

The delusional left sees no evil (except America). It’s not that they don’t believe in an enemy, it’s that they already have one (it’s us) and there is room for no other in their small minds. (via LGF)

Only a committed and hardened leftist can take an attempted mass murder by Islamist terrorists and see only the infamous, “culture of fear.” (That’s the neo-con culture of fear not the global-warming culture of fear by the way.) Continue reading See no evil (except America)

Counter-reasonous

Al Gore’s book, “Assault on Reason,” definitely lives up to it’s title. Apparently the scribbles and half-thoughts of the inventor of the internet are a continuous assault on reason from beginning to end.

Besides our impending ecological doom Gore worries that non-liberals will maliciously attempt to persuade Americans and influence elections by using the airwaves! Imagine that. Continue reading Counter-reasonous

Hate speech hypocrisy

The self-proclaimed champions of free speech, human rights, and ‘social justice’ are busy laying the groundwork for silencing all political opposition. Yes, the hypocrisy is flagrant, indeed, painfully obvious to anyone– except, apparently, to themselves.

The liberal definition of censorship is not balanced by any means. You see, Democrats and the left view censorship as something that they cannot commit. They are the champions of free speech after all. By their definition, censorship relates only to any infringement or disagreement to liberal opinions and liberal viewpoints. When conservatives refute liberal ideology that is the definition of censorship. When liberals attempt to pass laws and use the government to silence conservatives it’s called ‘fairness’ and done in the name of combating ‘hate speech’. Continue reading Hate speech hypocrisy

True incompetence

pompous ass Harry Reid

Now we know why the party mascot is an ass.

First he declared defeat. Now we get some additional insight into why he thinks we lost the war.

The generals are incompetent! Stupid soldiers! (If only Harry were in charge. He deserves to be in charge you know. He’s so smart and perfect.)

The religion of climate transfiguration

Climate ‘transfiguration’ is the new religion of hypocrits and dead tree wasters. As Classical Values illuminates us…

I just received an amazing email from a friend who demonstrates that Vanity Fair magazine is busily promoting global warming with a religious theme.

Is it printed on recycled paper at least? Probably not.
