Here’s the situation: The U.S. economy has been crippled by a financial crisis. The president’s policies have limited the damage, but they were too cautious, and unemployment remains disastrously high. More action is clearly needed. Yet the public has soured on government activism, and seems poised to deal Democrats a severe defeat in the midterm elections.

The president in question is Franklin Delano Roosevelt; the year is 1938. Within a few years, of course, the Great Depression was over. But it’s both instructive and discouraging to look at the state of America circa 1938 — instructive because the nature of the recovery that followed refutes the arguments dominating today’s public debate, discouraging because it’s hard to see anything like the miracle of the 1940s happening again.

In the immortal words of Sun Tzu, "All war is based on deception." (He also said, "Know your enemy", which will be relevant too.)

The two paragraphs above are the beginning of this article , titled "1938 in 2010." I like Paul Krugman, he reminds me of what I hate it liberalism. He is a decent writer, possesses a workable command of the English language; and is always ready, when asked what something is, to describe something else entirely different.

The case in point for this particular article is the parallel of FDR and BHO: both presided over struggling economies, both implemented public assistance programs, and in the case of FDR, the nation emerged stronger from the financial crisis. Paul's assertion is that what worked for FDR would also work for BHO, if only he (Hussein) were allowed to implement his plan.

And here, for the faithful few, is the "deception":

Then came the war.

Which war, the stupid among us might ask; the Second World War. As Paul describes it, " a burst of deficit-financed government spending', and aptly so; however, Krugman leaves out one central part: the war put EVERYONE to work! In the wartime spending, there were no generous unemployment programs. Nothing unites people like a common enemy.

"Then came the war." Krugman's deception is subtle and effective: parallel the struggles of FDR and Hussein, show that eventually the nation emerged from the Great Depression - credit the rise from the Great Depression to FDR's policies. It is but a small leap to the conclusion that Hussein's policies would have a similar effect. Except Paul minimizes the "then came the war."

If one "assumes" the end of the Great Depression had nothing to do with WW2 and everything to do with FDR's fiscal policies, Krugman's article makes perfect sense. But that "one" is a moron. And probably all too willing to accept that unemployment benefits encourage the unemployed to find work.

Benjamin Franklin said, " “Laziness travels so slowly that poverty soon overtakes him.” I bet the New York Times hates Jefferson almost as much as Bush.

It might be!

I'm no huge fan of the Chinese - um - Chinamen; however, they negotiate far better than do we.

Case in point: someone is now negotiating with an idiot who stormed the Discovery Channel headquarters, an apparent convert to Al Gore's religion of environmentalism.

The negotiations are ongoing (at this moment.)


In China, they deal like this:















End of negotiations.




Snopes says it is so!

Five years ago today, hurricane Katrina rolled ashore, bringing with it God's vengeance upon trailer parks and housing projects (little known fact: God did not allow Katrina to touch any houses with values greater than $80,000 or any homes occupied by white people - or so the history books and community organizers will say.)

To mark the occasion, Spike Lee recently produced a documentary for HBO titled, "If God is Willing and Da Creek Don't Rise." I watched part, for posterity, and was baffled.

When people describe the victims of Katrina, they always (emotionally) champion the indigent, those without the means to leave; yet when the pictures start rolling, I see thousands of healthy 20-somethings with the capacity - if nothing more - to walk away from New Orleans. Instead, they holed up in Wal Marts and sporting arenas and took advantage of 5-finger discounts and waited for someone to save them from themselves.

In Spike Lee's interesting - if not humorous - documentary, one local community organizer (now I know what they do!) lamented the damage Katrina did to one local housing project, and referred to the eventual demolition of those projects as "ethnic cleansing." When I think "ethnic cleansing", I think of Serbs and Bosnians and wholesale slaughter. What I do not consider ethnic cleaning: destroying a condemned housing project. I guess Newton was right, frame of reference matters.

I recall, with great clarity, those retards bussed to Houston, getting off the buses, comparing the buses to the slave ships that enslaved free men. I recall the idiots disembarking, refusing bottles of water, saying they wanted cokes. I remember crime spiking in the Astrodome area as thousands of New Orleans criminals went out in search of new opportunities to rob and pillage and destroy.

Lest anyone miss the point, I didn't see Biloxi Mississippi (all but wiped off the map) complaining of not enough aid and not enough outside intervention; instead, they were busy rebuilding. Black and whites were equally devastated in Mississippi and set about restoring their lives. Five years after, New Orleans is still bitching about how they got screwed, still whines about how Bush did them wrong.

Throughout Spike Lee's documentary, politicians and citizens alike complained that the federal government hadn't done enough to save them, hadn't done enough to rebuild their lives. Strangely, none produced a copy of the Constitution and pointed to the section the federal government was neglecting. How can New Orleans, creators of their own destiny, hold someone else responsible for their stupidity, their laziness, their corruption, their mismanagement, and their eventual salvation (to be defined by the people, presumably.)



Two years after Katrina, a Houston television station ran a special on post-Katrina lives. They interviewed 2 individuals: one was back in New Orleans, working to recover what was destroyed, one was living in a hotel in south Houston (on FEMA's dime) and waiting. He said he wasn't working, he was waiting for FEMA to decide where to finally locate him (he had been in the same hotel for 2 years), and once FEMA put him somewhere permanent, he'd look for a job. He lost everything when his apartment flooded - and was then demolished.

The lesson to be learned (that Spike Lee and the community organizer somehow missed) is this: when standing in a roadway - where one should not be standing - don't be surprised when a semi comes barreling down the road, straight at you. And, when it does, don't wait for someone to help you move you out of the way. And when someone doesn't move you out of the way and you get run over, don't blame the people smart enough to not be standing in the roadway.

Freedom and responsibility go hand-in-hand, funny how you never hear New Orleans complain about freedom. They don't want freedom (nor the responsibility that comes with it), they just want more free shit.



Katrina was a racist.
And I hate New Orleans.
