Okay, the NY Times might not be the best source for news, but you get my point. If you’re a leftist, you’ll make claims that you support affordable healthcare and that republicans are evil.
Just think of the Affordable Care Act as a five-year plan.
On Facebook pages such as Being Liberal you’ll see them post up pictures about how leftists are somehow responsible for the drop in the deficit (not debt) in the last few years even as they decried “Austerity“. Aside from the fact that in the last six years eight trillion has been added to the debt, just look at this CBO data that shows how the deficit is about to go back up. For those of you who still believe that leftists/Keynesians have anything to do with spending less, just look at the President’s most recent proposal to spend more money. If you’re a leftist you’ll post photos such as these without looking at the actual amount of cash the deficit is:
For those of you who don’t think that adding eight trillion to the debt or that having a deficit of only $506 billion is a great accomplishment, here’s some photos for you:
I’ve already posted this one, but here it is again for good measure. Those Keynesians really do have some funny economic ideas.
The leftist Syriza party has just won the Greek elections with between 35.5 and 39.5% of the vote. The man who will likely become Greece’s new Prime Minister quipped of the victory “The Greek people have given a clear, indisputable mandate for Greece to leave behind austerity.” Because if anything is worth trying again after years of failure, that would be more socialism. I suppose that when the Panhellenic Socialist Party (PASOK) was in control that they just didn’t do socialism correctly. One way or another, these guys will get it right. It’s funny how the left always says “austerity” whenever someone else says that perhaps the budget should be balanced once in a while. As we all know, living within your means is for losers. Just raise taxes and you’ll get all the money you need right? Just keep promising “free” stuff and the voters will put you in power apparently.
Moving onto the Eurozone as a whole, who wants to take bets on who will leave the E.U. and when? The Germans are certainly preparing themselves for such an event. Anyway, I still think it doesn’t make sense for sovereign countries to share a single currency. In light of events such as the Greek election, why should countries with different desires, ideas, and goals all be forced into some sort of supranational state? The whole Euro project was never a great idea to begin with.
Pope Francis made some interesting remarks about free speech on a flight to the Philippines a few days ago. The pontiff has stated that people’s faith should not be insulted and that they should not be provoked in such a manner. Pope Francis quipped that “If my good friend Doctor Gasparri speaks badly of my mother, he can expect to get punched” and “You cannot provoke. You cannot insult the faith of others. You cannot make fun of the faith of others. There is a limit.” I simply can’t agree with the sentiment Pope Francis holds. A society isn’t really free if not able to criticize, satirize, or insult organized religions, Islam or otherwise. The pontiff’s not the only one who shares such feelings towards Charlie Hebdo though, depending upon which leftist you ask Charlie Hebdo had it coming for taunting “religious fanatics” and that the material deriding thePope, Roman Catholic Church, Jews, and various political leaders was minimal compared to insults against Islam and Mohammed. A simple Google image search shows other distasteful depictions of various groups and individuals, though other such depictions aren’t what got twelve people killed in recent attacks. Some of my questions for Pope Francis would be: what does count as acceptable criticism, what is the limit and why can’t I make fun of someone’s faith?
As you can see, I’ve posted up more of Charlie Hebdo, though not many depictions of Muslims this time since some will always decry how Charlie Hebdo only “minimally” castigates other religions. What do those of you reading this think, that Charlie Hebdo had it coming, they’re hypocritical, or is everything they’ve done free speech?
Maybe Al Sharpton was having a slow day, perhaps all of the world’s other problems are solved or more likely he just needed someone elseto shakedown. Charlatan, er uh, Reverend Al Sharpton is calling for an emergency meeting to discuss the “appalling” Oscar nominations because this year, no black people were nominated. Sharpton quipped that “The movie industry is like the Rocky Mountains, the higher you get, the whiter it gets”. Even though The Oscars’ president Cheryl Isaacs is black, she’s a racist that has considerable trouble recognizing diversity. I wonder, what exactly does Al Sharpton intend to promulgate at this meeting? How to make money of this perceived slight, how to get people fired, how to talk to a teleprompter or just how to be a racist in general. Al Sharpton would never ever be racist himself right? Perpetuating a falserape case oranti-Semitic riots would be beneath him.
Obviously, Cheryl Isaacs is a racist pig who profits off the suffering of others.
I’m sure that Sharpton has a great solution, and I’m not talking about another way for him to make even more money and add on to his $4.5 million in back taxes. I can see it now, affirmative action for The Oscars. They’ll be awards specifically for homosexuals, African-Americans, Asian-Americans, Hispanics and award for Al Sharpton himself every year (No better way to avoid lawsuits and protests). Who cares about real talent, nothing but race matters and you’re a cis, racist and evil white man if you believe otherwise. If you don’t happen to be a white man, you must be a “race-traitor” and obviously aren’t thinking left, I mean straight.
Al Sharpton shall surely bring more laughs for years to come. It seems as though Al Sharpton will also be able to make money off of the suffering and anguish of others sadly enough, for quite a long time. Perhaps one day he’ll stop being such a racist agitator but then again, I might also see pigs grow wings and fly into outer space. Maybe I’ll get sued by the National Action Network (NAN) just for typing this up? As with many of the links from Yahoo! I post up, don’t forget to read the comments. I hope that you all enjoy the photos!
So the videos that I’m posting of Paul Krugman are nothing new, they’ve been around for some years now. But because of the economic message many leftists/socialists continue to spread this warrants some repeating. The first video of Paul Krugman was aired back in August of 2011 on CNN. In the video Krugman argues that since stimulus debt spending isn’t up to his liking that an alien invasion should be staged to make for for a rapid rise in military spending by the Federal government to fix the ailing economy. Because if there’s one thing that the Federal Government’s not doing enough of, it’s deficit spending. Remember folks, Paul Krugman received the Nobel Peace Prize for Economics in 2008. National debt, never heard of that stupid thing! Raise taxes for the wealthiest to 70% like during the Carter years, or 90% during FDR’s time, awesomesolution! That would do nothing whatsoever to hurt business competitiveness or convince the rich, especially leftiststo move theirwealth away right? Because if there’s anything that helps businesses out, it’s higher operating costs and taxes right? And when the dust has settled, the alien ruse is revealed, and the economy is most certainly in great shape we’ll all be able to say: “Thank you Mr. Krugman, your genius surely knows no bounds. Let me kiss your feet and be generous by giving away even more of what I own”.
Isn’t ironic that people that are supposedly “anti-war”, especially ones that received a Nobel Peace Prize, call for a massive military buildup and war? In any case, enjoy yourself and get a good laugh at the Krugman explanation for fixing the economy. While you’re at it, why not let the whole world know how you feel about Paul Krugman in the poll at the end of this post?
Even with crude oil prices crashing down below $60 a barrel from a high of over $115 earlier in the year the Saudis simply refuse to allow OPEC production to drop any significant amount. After a few months of such prices Iran is now begging for mercy from the Saudis and are again asking for a drop in OPEC oil production. Some would believe Saudi refusal is an attempt to harm U.S. shale oil producers, though shale production is easily scaled and that would probably just be a bonus in addition to harming Saudi Arabia’s real strategic threat, Iran. Saudi Arabia and Iran are supporting opposite sides, or having proxy wars in Bahrain, Lebanon, Iraq, Syria, and Yemen. They are fighting each other for influence in the Arab world and also hate the religion of their opponents (Shi’ite vs. Sunni). Iran has the desire for a Persian Empire while Saudi Arabia has its own ideas of what should happen in the Middle East. In light of Iran’s economic distress and Saudi Arabia’s ability to deal with low oil prices for years to come, this is one of the best ways to slow down (not stop) Iran’s attempt at producing a nuclear weapon. I suppose we’ll see who’s victorious soon enough.
Watch and listen to what the Saudis think of Iran and its ambitions for empire and influence.
Mattel Inc. recently spent an extravagant amount of money on countless focus groups and sensitivity meetings to finally bring the customer a doll that won’t offend anyone whatsoever, the Asian-American Doll. Mattel expended quite a sum of money and effort to ensure that your daughter (or son if he’s into that) won’t find anything that hurts their feelings or reinforces any stereotypes but, much more importantly social justice warriors (SJW) won’t find anyreason to get offended either. For as we all know, if anyone’s going to be offended it will be a leftist and they will sue and protest against until all opposition is silenced. Hell, even in films for adults the only people you can insult, poke fun at, or cast a bad light on in any way are Nazis. Even that last group may not be fair game for much longer, maybe liberals will start claiming we’re hurting their feelings too.
In any case, Mattel made sure that there’s nothing about Asian-American Doll that could offend anyone in any way whatsoever. If you don’t believe me, just watch the commercial and you too will see just how racially neutral and completely generic Asian American Doll is. Enjoy!
