"...But we're talking about truly educated, discerning people here."

"The major premise here is that American schooling has been dumbed down to provide mindless, loyal workers who cannot think for themselves. At least this is the schooling provided to the masses. This was a deliberate act with roots in 19th century industrialism. He shows how the Civil War demonstrated to industrialists and financiers how a standardized population trained to follow orders without significant thought could be made to function as a money tree. Moreover, the proper schooling could be used to strip the common population of its power to cause trouble. You see, our global power and corporate wealth is based on a third-rate educational system that actually works against developing men and women of true character and intellect. The mindless bureaucrat and worker who follows a system without thought or question is the pattern that our "efficient" system depends on. That is what schooling produces. One should never confuse schooling with true education- and definitely not with intelligence."
Now we're in an election cycle, and that line about " .. follow(ing) orders without significant thought ..." really rings true, especially when you consider the people out there fawning over The Messiah. Think about it: What has been Obama's campaign slogan since pretty much day one. You know ... "Change we can believe in." Now the truly educated person might say "Change? From what to what?" But we're talking about truly educated, discerning people here. For the rest ... for the government educated masses who "follow orders without significant thought", the picture isn't as pretty. Pollsters recently asked people for one-word descriptions of Obama. The word most chosen? Why, it was "change," of course. These people couldn't do anything better than to regurgitate the very word that had been force-fed them by Obamaologists .. the "C' word. Some real independent thinkers we have there.
An inordinate amount of time is spent on my show trying to explain some basic economic principles to listeners. It is shocking how many people don't understand the difference between a profit and a profit margin. Also, people just can't grasp the fact that historically tax cuts lead to increases in revenues to government. The idea that people will engage more strongly in economic behavior that is rewarded should be easy to understand. It isn't. Too many Americans react with disbelief when you tell them that the very same evil rich people so often denigrated by Democrats are the people who write their pay checks every month. Barack Obama can talk about raising taxes on rich people who earn over $250,000 a year, and most people don't understand that these are the small businessmen and women who account for 70% of all existing jobs and 80% of all new jobs in our economy. Then when you tell people that these small businessmen are going to cut back on business expenses if their taxes go up – and that the people they employ are business expenses – you just get glassy stares. Hey, they're rich. They should pay their fair share.
Tell me, can you see why a service station operator has to raise the price of every gallon of gasoline he has in the ground when he is notified that when the tanker shows up with another load the prices are going to go up? If you can't, perhaps you're part of the problem.
This problem (the dumb masses voting) isn't new. Thirty years ago I was conducting polls on my radio show ... who are you going to vote for and why? The most common answer to the "why" question? "Because he's the best man for the job." That's the best they could come up with ... just some bromide about so-and-so being the best man for the job. It sort of reminds you of the "change" word voters spew forth when asked about their vote for Obama. We, my friends, are in deep brown stuff.
Don't read that Gatto book. It will scare the hell out of you.
| THE MEDIA LOVES OBAMA A few examples of the media fawning over Barack Obama. |
So that explains it ... black people are in love with Barack Obama. And you know what happens when you are in love? You get all those stars in your eyes. You wear those blinders that make it seem like nothing else matters in the world. You are just so darned wrapped up in the person that you aren't able to see any flaws ... you aren't able to look at the reality of the situation. And you know what the fun part really is? When you wake up one day and look over at the person lying next to you and think "How in the hell did I get here?" Only with Barack Obama it will be "where in the hell is all my money" or "the government is forcing me to do what?"
Walid has officially proclaimed that John McCain and Barack Obama need to address how ALL bigotry, including Islamophobia, hurts America. He says that they need to address this because of the "spike in anti-Muslim rhetoric" during this presidential campaign. Okay, so what exactly does he mean by anti-Muslim rhetoric? First he quotes Mike Huckabee as saying that "We must defeat Islamofascism." Don't know about you, but I have no particular problem with that statement. It's true .. and this will be one of the most important, if not THE most important tasks before our next president. But according to CAIR, statements like this are considered bigoted and contribute to Islamophobia. I'll tell you what contributes to Islamophobia ... Muslims threatening our country, that's what. Muslims killing, Muslims terrorizing, Muslim countries building atomic weapons and threatening to wipe non-Mulsim countries off the face of the earth. All of this death and rhetoric, and there's nothing to be afraid of?
So what does Walid really want from the candidates? He says he wants, "Strong statements that Muslims are legitimate Americans with the right to full expression and that Islamophobia is counterproductive to our national interests ... Both major parties should use their upcoming national conventions to state clearly that Muslims and Islam are part of the diverse U.S. social mosaic."
The fact is, folks, that CAIR is just trying to flex its muscles. It just wants to see which presidential candidate will jump first at the chance to appease a segment of our population and inevitably gain votes .. or lose them. In the midst of all of this don't forget a few important facts about CAIR. The leaders of this outfit have strong ties to Islamic terrorist organizations; and, they have often stated their desire to see the United States under Sharia law.
Pay attention. This is important.
Wait .. I'm not through. Just remembered .. Newt Gingrich (the man who should be our next president) says that the American people are not going to take Islamic terrorism seriously until we lose an American city. I wonder what city it will be?
Now we know that Barack Obama is embarrassed that Americans can't speak more foreign languages.
A few points.
- It is more important for the world to learn to speak English than it is for us to learn to speak their languages.
- English is the official language of air traffic control – world wide.
- You can drive 4,500 miles from Miami to Alaska and find English spoken every foot of the way. In Europe you often can't drive 450 miles without the language being spoken.
Now I'm not against learning foreign languages .. but the fact that Americans are not bilingual – we don't need to be – shouldn't embarrass our president.
By the way .. how about addressing the people in this country who can't speak English?
The father, Mike Seymour, says that the staff should have handled the situation "with more sensitivity." He says that they should have first asked if there was anything they could do to help, rather than asking for the child to leave. Hey, Mike, it's your child not the restaurants. She's your responsibility.
The company has since issued an apology and ... get this ... is now going to raise money for autism research.

Congressional approval ratings have officially fallen into the single digits, according to the latest Rasmussen polls. Remember, Bush's approval rating is higher than that of the Congress.
A bipartisan panel has determined that the president should be forced by law to consult Congress before going to war. Oh great – hand that decision off to 545 people.
Could Barack Obama really be this naïve when it comes to being Commander in Chief? My guess is yes.
Well maybe Barack Obama isn't the naïve one ... his supporters are.
Thomas Sowell has a great article on Barack Obama: "Many are for him for no more serious reasons than his mouth and his complexion." That's true, Mr. Sowell ... but are you a racist for saying so?
Barack Obama wants to visit Berlin in the coming weeks ... but this seems to be causing some stress among German diplomats.
Well John McCain seems to have one thing going for him ... he has a dog. Not just a dog, but lots of pets. That, by the way, is one reason not to trust Muslims. Don't trust anyone who doesn't like dogs.
Guess who is less than thrilled with Barack Obama ... the New York Times.
So where does the energy bill currently stand in Congress? We'll have Jamie Dupree give us more information today during the Information Overload hour.
Here's a great lesson on how onions can teach us a thing or two about blaming "speculators" for our oil situation.
We've posted this on Nealz Nuze before, but it's always good to have a bit of a reminder of how much money we would save if America didn't have fat people.
