Smoke Pot!

George Soros spends over $80 Million to legalize Pot in the United States…

This morning at 5am, I sat down at the breakfast table with my Bloody Mary (I was out of Tomato Juice…) and it occurred to me there is a funny thing about Liberals.  They “love” liberty… as long as it doesn’t get in their way.

Here’s what I mean… Liberals cherish your right to smoke marijuana.  I mean CHERISH this right.  But why this “right” and not so many others?

We know they only like free speech as long as they agree with it, and they Hate your right to own a gun…But not theirs of course, because They’re Smarter than You.  They love your right to vote… as long as you don’t have to prove who you are and you can do it over and over again during the same election. Etc. Etc.

So… They seem to love your rights as long as they don’t get in the way of the Socialist Utopia they dream about.

Once you understand it’s really about Progressive Socialism, then it makes sense they would rather have you believe they’re on the side of the “free” because they champion your God-given right to smoke pot!

Do you or someone you know have a younger brother or sister who is “ADHD”?  Did you notice how much easier they were to “manage” after they had taken their Ritalin?  Or how much “nicer” your Significant Other was when they had taken their Xanax?  How I’m almost tolerable after you’ve had a couple of beers?  Well…

How do you stop an entire generation from learning your actually Ridiculous?

It’s frustrating because once most of us graduate from our early twenties and take on the responsibilities life thrusts upon us we start waking up.  Abby Hoffman said it best; “don’t trust anybody over thirty”.  He had good reason to beg his following to be suspicious of grownups.  Abby realized that getting older can be the Antidote for Useful Idiocy.

So back to ‘how do you get them to stop figuring it out and keep them Useful?’  Toke up!  Simple.

As long as they are Stoned, the Useful Idiots remain useful well into their thirties and beyond as they were too busy bowl burning to develop skills necessary to take care of themselves.  Being stoned all the time keeps them in a permanent state of childhood dependency.  Brilliant!  They stop moving out of their parents houses… they play video games all day in the basement… they don’t learn how to socialize with the opposite sex unless that sex is on a computer screen… they can’t hold a job because their boss doesn’t “get” them… even the Government now says you’re a child until your 26th birthday… HOLY CRAP!  IT’S TOO LATE!

So it’s over.  We might as well give up.

Or, we need to demand ALL of our Individual Rights, everyday… with no exceptions… if that includes smoking pot, fine… but no picking and choosing by the Left.

It should be an all or none kinda thing, don’t you think?

Anybody got a Match?

The Koch Brothers Strike Again!

The Koch Brothers give $25 Million to the United Negro College Fund.

I’m sorry…

The Super-Evil Capitalist Exploiters otherwise known as The Koch Brothers, who alone are responsible for all things sinister and insidious in an otherwise fair world, gave the united Negro College Fund Twenty-Five Million Dollars, Dirty Money Stolen from defenseless Wage Slaves, to be used for Educating those that might not otherwise be able to access Higher Education.

Man are these Koch Brothers A-Holes!

Should the Money be Refused?

Given Back?

Handed over to the Government to be “spread around”?  (Not Redistributed!  “Spread Around.”  Totally different… totally.  Dude.)


Evil is at first Honest…

…because it never see’s itself as Evil.

If Evil is Challenged it will Deny, Obfuscate and Hide Meaning… but it always exhibits the odd characteristic of Honesty up front with Deception to Follow.

This is because We recognize it As Evil.

But Good… Good will tell you the Truth up front as well. Followed only by more of it.

And this is Where we Fall Down… We Often Fail to recognize it as Good.

Below is an Wall Street Journal Op-Ed from Charles Koch.  I’m re-printing it with a challenge.

What parts of this do you disagree with?  What parts exactly?  I’m not interested with attacks on the Koch Brothers specifically…

I want to know what Points he makes here do you find Evil?

Charles Koch: I’m Fighting to Restore a Free Society

Updated April 2, 2014 7:47 p.m. ET

I have devoted most of my life to understanding the principles that enable people to improve their lives. It is those principles—the principles of a free society—that have shaped my life, my family, our company and America itself.

Unfortunately, the fundamental concepts of dignity, respect, equality before the law and personal freedom are under attack by the nation’s own government. That’s why, if we want to restore a free society and create greater well-being and opportunity for all Americans, we have no choice but to fight for those principles. I have been doing so for more than 50 years, primarily through educational efforts. It was only in the past decade that I realized the need to also engage in the political process.

A truly free society is based on a vision of respect for people and what they value. In a truly free society, any business that disrespects its customers will fail, and deserves to do so. The same should be true of any government that disrespects its citizens. The central belief and fatal conceit of the current administration is that you are incapable of running your own life, but those in power are capable of running it for you. This is the essence of big government and collectivism.

More than 200 years ago, Thomas Jefferson warned that this could happen. “The natural progress of things,” Jefferson wrote, “is for liberty to yield and government to gain ground.” He knew that no government could possibly run citizens’ lives for the better. The more government tries to control, the greater the disaster, as shown by the current health-care debacle. Collectivists (those who stand for government control of the means of production and how people live their lives) promise heaven but deliver hell. For them, the promised end justifies the means.

Instead of encouraging free and open debate, collectivists strive to discredit and intimidate opponents. They engage in character assassination. (I should know, as the almost daily target of their attacks.) This is the approach that Arthur Schopenhauer described in the 19th century, that Saul Alinsky famously advocated in the 20th, and that so many despots have infamously practiced. Such tactics are the antithesis of what is required for a free society—and a telltale sign that the collectivists do not have good answers.

Rather than try to understand my vision for a free society or accurately report the facts about Koch Industries, our critics would have you believe we’re “un-American” and trying to “rig the system,” that we’re against “environmental protection” or eager to “end workplace safety standards.” These falsehoods remind me of the late Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan’s observation, “Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not to his own facts.” Here are some facts about my philosophy and our company:

Koch companies employ 60,000 Americans, who make many thousands of products that Americans want and need. According to government figures, our employees and the 143,000 additional American jobs they support generate nearly $11.7 billion in compensation and benefits. About one-third of our U.S.-based employees are union members.

Koch employees have earned well over 700 awards for environmental, health and safety excellence since 2009, many of them from the Environmental Protection Agency and Occupational Safety and Health Administration. EPA officials have commended us for our “commitment to a cleaner environment” and called us “a model for other companies.”

Our refineries have consistently ranked among the best in the nation for low per-barrel emissions. In 2012, our Total Case Incident Rate (an important safety measure) was 67% better than a Bureau of Labor Statistics average for peer industries. Even so, we have never rested on our laurels. We believe there is always room for innovation and improvement.

Far from trying to rig the system, I have spent decades opposing cronyism and all political favors, including mandates, subsidies and protective tariffs—even when we benefit from them. I believe that cronyism is nothing more than welfare for the rich and powerful, and should be abolished.

Koch Industries was the only major producer in the ethanol industry to argue for the demise of the ethanol tax credit in 2011. That government handout (which cost taxpayers billions) needlessly drove up food and fuel prices as well as other costs for consumers—many of whom were poor or otherwise disadvantaged. Now the mandate needs to go, so that consumers and the marketplace are the ones who decide the future of ethanol.

Instead of fostering a system that enables people to help themselves, America is now saddled with a system that destroys value, raises costs, hinders innovation and relegates millions of citizens to a life of poverty, dependency and hopelessness. This is what happens when elected officials believe that people’s lives are better run by politicians and regulators than by the people themselves. Those in power fail to see that more government means less liberty, and liberty is the essence of what it means to be American. Love of liberty is the American ideal.

If more businesses (and elected officials) were to embrace a vision of creating real value for people in a principled way, our nation would be far better off—not just today, but for generations to come. I’m dedicated to fighting for that vision. I’m convinced most Americans believe it’s worth fighting for, too.

Mr. Koch is chairman and CEO of Koch Industries.

In the End,  How is Charles Koch different from George Soros?  David Geffen?  The AFL-CIO?  SEIU?  Hollywood?

There IS a Difference…

It’s the Message.

It’s the Intent.

It’s the Vision.
