Please compare the class and presentation of these sites articles about their ideological opponent’s Vice Presidential candidate. Just like we witness at Clipmarks, most progressives are children. The Liberalpedia boasts 100% truth, but it is probably only slightly more truthful than the opinion and assertions made here at Clipmarks.

“In The Constitution of Liberty, F. A. Hayek stated that, “It would probably be true…to say that the illusion that by means of progressive taxation the burden can be shifted substantially onto the shoulders of the wealthy has been the chief reason why taxation has increased as fast as it has done and that, under the influence of this illusion, the masses have come to accept a much heavier load than they would have done otherwise.”
“The 1% Myth was a useful tool deployed by Liberals to make the majority of the American public feel like victims so they would vote for the candidate who offered them the prospect of seizing from the rich and redistributing to average Americans what rightfully belonged to them in the first place. It was a wonderful distraction to prevent the majority of the public from realizing that they were the real target all along.”
Kind of a Clumsy clip. Great info and further detail in source article.
| A common liberal argument aimed at America’s free market economy and reinforced in President Obama’s budget proposal A New Era of Responsibility is that, over the last 25 years, the rich have gotten richer while the poor have gotten poorer. |
| This would seem to provide compelling evidence for the argument that in America’s free market economy “the rich get richer, while the poor get poorer.” This deserves a closer look. |
| three major factors missing from the Picketty-Saez data, when included in the calculation, significantly reduce the apparent growing trend in income inequality. |
| The study concluded that economic growth resulted in rising incomes for most taxpayers over the study period with the median incomes of all taxpayers increasing by 24% after adjusting for inflation. |

Brilliant. I’ve often said that fields like Sociology in particular ARE NOT sciences. They are crap. Exercises of statistical manipulation and propaganda. They are created to manipulate and control. It is time to recognize that sociology is nothing but an easy “A” for subjecting oneself to putrid materialist propaganda. The newest bovine scatology is…”evolutionary psychology”. All a waste of time.

Beck: “Thomas, I said two years ago, I said look, they’re going to go for the car companies and the airlines and for the energy industry. They’re going to go for the financial industry. There was like four of them that I lined up, and I said we’re going down this fascist road.”
I’m glad people are waking up to the reality.
” I don’t know why people aren’t marching in front of the Capitol or surrounding the Capitol with their lawn chairs and just saying you ain’t leaving until you change all this nonsense. What’s it going to take?”
SOWELL: Well to do that, they would have to sink. And this whole personality cult has caught on in such a way that it is going to be a while before people start thinking. It is a question of how big of a calamity is it going to take before they snap out of it.
| This is a rush transcript from “Glenn Beck,” May 27, 2009. This copy may not be in its final form and may be updated. |
Thomas, welcome back to the program, sir. |
BECK: So let me start with that question — are we are still a capitalist country?
SOWELL: Oh, heavens. Partially.
We’re not a socialist country, because the socialists believe in government ownership in the means of production, but the fascists believe that the government should have private ownership and the politicians should tell people how to run the businesses. So that’s the route we seem to be going. |
SOWELL: The private people still own the businesses but the politicians tell them what to do.
BECK: Right, but isn’t that — I’m trying to remember, that’s —
SOWELL: That’s fascism.
BECK: Yes, I was going to say, I knew it was a bad one. And I was going to say, I think that’s fascism. Yeah. OK. Well you’re a crazy lunatic. Why would you say we’re going down a fascist road? |

The Frankfurt School was dedicated to the destruction of the West. One of its founders, Willi Munzenberg, stated explicitly that its goal was to:
…organise the intellectuals and use them to make Western civilisation stink [sic]. Only then, after they have corrupted all its values and made life impossible, can we impose the dictatorship of the proletariat.
According to an article by Timothy Matthews in Catholic Insight, key strategies to achieve this goal were:
1. The creation of racism offences.
2. Continual change to create confusion.
3. The teaching of sex and homosexuality to children.
4. The undermining of schools’ and teachers’ authority.
5. Huge immigration to destroy identity.
6. The promotion of excessive drinking.
7. Emptying of churches.
8. An unreliable legal system with bias against victims of crime.
9. Dependency on the state or state benefits.
10. Control and dumbing down of media.
11. Encouraging the breakdown of the family.
Munzenberg stated
| Hate crimes legislation has its roots in the communist-inspired, so-called Frankfurt School founded in Frankfurt, Germany by Bolsheviks in the 1920s. Its goal was to implement communism in the West quietly by gradually subverting popular culture — a movement known as Cultural Marxism. One of its leading lights, Herbert Marcuse, opined that the prevailing Western social order is repressive by definition and discriminates against minorities simply by existing. |
| Instead, he proposed what he called “partisan tolerance ,” i.e. tolerating the views of those “repressed minorities” only — who Marcuse assumes share his partisan hatred for everything noncommunist — while actively muzzling the views of the majority. |
They have been practicing “partisan tolerance.” That is, tolerance of the extreme Left and virulent intolerance of anything else. |

For the first time of which I am aware we have a president that suggests the Constitution is not the standard on which to balance the scales of justice, rather one side of the scale needs to be weighed down with empathy. That’s kind of elusive and open-ended isn’t it? The last word of Obama’s statement is the revelatory cornerstone: “OUTCOMES”. It is all about outcomes, not justice under the constitution with regard to human liberty. He wants a judge who will base decisions on a subjective standard of empathy, which minimizes responsibility, maximizes a contrived and unfair equality of outcomes, and places a fascist judicial system that regards the rights of individuals below the whims of the state’s definition of fairness.
“I will seek someone who understands that justice isn’t about some abstract legal theory or footnote in a casebook;
it is also about how our laws affect the daily realities of people’s lives, whether they can make a living and care for their
families, whether they feel safe in their homes and welcome in their own nation,” Obama said. “I view that quality of empathy,
of understanding and identifying with people’s hopes and struggles, as an essential ingredient for arriving at just decisions
and outcomes.” |

The first possession of man and God is reason.
“Natural law theory eventually gave rise to a concept of “natural rights.” John Locke argued that human beings in the state of nature are free and equal, yet insecure in their freedom. When they enter society they surrender only such rights as are necessary for their security and for the common good. Each individual retains fundamental prerogatives drawn from natural law relating to the integrity of person and property (natural rights). This natural rights theory provided a philosophical basis for both the American and French revolutions. Thomas Jefferson used the natural law theory to justify his trinity of “inalienable rights” which were stated in the United States Declaration of Independence.”
To sum it up, then, we can say that the natural
law: |
- is not made by human beings;
- is based on the structure of reality
itself;
- is the same for all human beings and at all
times;
- is an unchanging rule or pattern which is
there for human beings to discover;
- is the naturally knowable moral law;
- is a means by which human beings can
rationally guide themselves to their good.
|
It is interesting to note that virtually
everyone seems to have some knowledge of natural
law even before such knowledge is codified and
formalized. |
- follows on the “lived experience” of the
truth;
- is the living contact of the intellect with
reality itself;
- is not always given expression in
concepts;
- may be obscure to the knower;
- is overlaid with elements from the affective
or feeling side of man’s nature.
|
The “good”
(according to reason) must be done, and evil (what
is contrary to reason) must be avoided. |

I guess we need one now.
| Russia is planning to create a dedicated military force to help protect its interests in the disputed Arctic region. The presidential Security Council has released a document outlining goverment policy for the Arctic that includes creating a special group of military forces. The report was released this week and reported by Russian media on Friday. Russia, the United States, Canada and other northern countries are trying to assert jurisdiction over the Arctic. The dispute has intensified amid growing evidence that the shrinking polar ice is opening up new shipping lanes and allowing natural resources to be tapped. |

I remember mentioning this at clipmarks and elsewhere. It went completely ignored. Also ignored was the massive adjustment to the process and items used to figure the inflation rate, which occurred about the same time. Again, I will say the same as I have said for the past 2 years…This is all intentional. The odds of us entering a depression unlike anything we have ever seen have just increased.
| As America’s economy continues in freefall, tomorrow marks an auspicious two-year anniversary – the day the Federal Reserve announced, with little fanfare, its decision to stop reporting to the public the M3 money supply, the broadest measure of three standards of measurement. |
Why did the Fed make that decision two years ago? What was its rationale?
|
Just last Wednesday the Fed said it would flood the teetering financial system with an additional $1.2 trillion.
|
The money will be used, the Fed said, to buy government bonds and mortgage-related securities in hopes of lowering the borrowing costs for home mortgages and other types of loans, thereby stimulating economic activity. In other words, the central bank will print more money to pay for the purchases.
|
“And it will only serve to delay and enlarge the scope of the impending day of reckoning for the United States,” he adds.
