Ryan and Rand are the same
They loathe all the poor and the lame
A selfishness curse
That makes them perverse
The devil is surely to blame
The Limerick King

Objectively speaking Paul's split
His worship of Rand is legit
A Christian in name
Yet greed he'll proclaim
This schizoid is simply unfit

"The good, say the mystics of spirit, is God, a being whose only definition is that he is beyond man's power to conceive- a definition that invalidates man's consciousness and nullifies his concepts of existence...Man's mind, say the mystics of spirit, must be subordinated to the will of God... Man's standard of value, say the mystics of spirit, is the pleasure of God, whose standards are beyond man's power of comprehension and must be accepted on faith....The purpose of man's life...is to become an abject zombie who serves a purpose he does not know, for reasons he is not to question." [Ayn Rand, For the New Intellectual] “To one who has faith, no explanation is necessary. To one without faith, no explanation is possible.” St Thomas Aquinas Quite a turnaround...no?

Barack is the Brother of Debt
This cat is a Socialist threat
The budget he'll screw
With his spending Kung-fu
He spends without breaking a sweat

I doubt that Che Guevara instructed Obama to rescue banks, extend tax cuts for the rich, etc... So Alinsky's influence on Obama is kinda dubious. I'm still waiting to see Obama the radical marxist... All I've seen til now is another Wall Street puppet.
Obama has to achieve majority control to achieve to see the real radical Marxist to come out. And to get there, he needs as many on the government dole and fighting against their entitlement cuts as he can generate.
At that point it will be easy for him to accomplish his true objectives.
We'll see the radical Marxist after he's faced an electorate for the last time.
Radical Stalinist, or is that an oxymoron? I've seen him from day one.
I can't believe anybody could see Obama as a Marxist now. Either they don't know what Marxism is all about, or it's me who knows nothing (and damn, I had to study Marx!).
Also, I can't believe you people are expecting a 2nd Obama term with him doing a turn and starting the socialist revolution. You gotta be kidding me. Really? Can you actually imagine Obama nationalizing oil&gas, banks, utilities, healthcarem etc? Ha... yeah, like his (and his party's) donors are going to let him...
He could just create private monopolies, give them Federal-sounding names, and call it socialism.

Ryan, Forrest, Ryan!!!
Too funny :)
Truly horrifying, but detailed and well-sourced, article about Ayn Rand in her youth, that makes one turn away from her in absolute disgust ... it seemed she had the fascination of the Luciferian elite for the violent death of young children ...
'Paul Ryan's Guru Ayn Rand Worshipped a Serial Killer Who Kidnapped and Dismembered Little Girls'

But at least she didn't eat her french fries with mayonnaise!
FYI, that article is ridiculous
I am disappointed, Banzai.
To disagree with Rand on certain points is understandable, but to trash her is just wrong.
The woman wrote a lot of very important things. Those things endure, regardless of her errors... and they do not deserve to be ridiculed like this.
I think Ayn Rand was very childish. But her depiction of Midas Mulligan and the valuable people setting up their own society was genius. Why don't some of you ZHers do that?
Actually, if you look at the images you will see the trashing is directed at him. He is the self proclaimed follower who renounced his intellectual paramour, for Thomas Aquinas of all people. For the guy who gave copies of AS to his staff for Christmas it is like switching from McCarthy to Marx.
All the other hardcore libertarian stuff that she espoused, such as atheism and the right to chose, suddenly became distasteful to him when he realized it didn't mix with his political ambitions.
Read Faith and Force. I wonder whether he would agree with the premise of that work, as I do.
Okay, fair enough.
Peace.
No, he ditched that part because, like Aquinas, he knew it was a bad choice.

'Paul Ryan Wondering If He Should Have Told Romney About This Guy He's Dating'
http://www.theonion.com/articles/paul-ryan-wondering-if-he-should-have-t...
If by calling Ryan greedy you mean he no longer wants to spend money we don't have, then I'm all for greedy.
If by greedy you mean he wants to fix a broken Medicare system, then again I'm greedy.
If by greedy you mean he wants people who get a value to participate in a value exchange, not just be on the receiving end.
If by greedy you mean he doesn't want our dollars to be debased (insideouly taxed), to support a reported 100 million Americans who are now on the gov dole. Then I am fucking greedy.
What the fuck is wrong with A = A?
yeah, sometimes you have to present some sort of answer...not just same ol-same ol recognition of the problem and rhetoric saying the other guys suck.
we need leaders, not politicians. Obama is not a leader.
And flipper is?
What they all are is excellent misleaders.
Do you recall the job description of Galatic President in "The HitchHiker's Guide to the Galaxy?"
Which "leader" (notice the use of quotes) is going to bleed the country dry the quickest? BHO that's who. So stop the bleeding. First aid 101...
SmallerGovNow2 said:
Stop the bleeding? That might have worked 30 years ago (if you could have convinced enough voters that the threat of Soviet World Domination® was a bogeyman created by the pentagon). First aid 101 sort of makes the presumption that students in the course already know that first aid won't reanimate cadavers.
This election isn't about who gets to bleed the country dry, it's a fight over who gets to suck the marrow from the bones of its dried up husk of a corpse.
The problem with the world is absolutely greed. But I define it this way. Greed is wanting / demanding the UN EARNED! Greed is not working hard and wanting to keep what you have earned. If it is I am the greediest motherfucker on the planet.
I will not be made to feel guilty because I refuse to support the live of those who won't support themselves.
I will be the first to help someone down and out, but I refuse to help stupid or lazy. Those dopes are just lookin for a free ride, and quite honestly if their stupidity or laziness was about to kill them, I'd watch them die.
Gotta go to work now.
Bye
Oh the fear of the welfare queens. But don't fret. In all, the cost of the poor and disabled is a lot less than the costs of banks. You complain about the "stupid and lazy", supposedly talking about people on welfare. But there are others which I would call "stupid and lazy" who are on govt welfare, and they're called bankers and financiers. And you're giving your money to them like crazy.
I'd rather put money down for a welfare program for the disabled, poor and or hungry than give a single dime for a bank.
Agreed. I don't support public welfare beyond the point of a short term safety net, and taking care of those people who can't take care of themselves. I don't like it being a crutch it can become for the able bodied. However, I don't support under any circumstance corporate welfare of any type, If a person run their business in the ground that's on their shoulders not mine.
The problem we now have is the parasitical elite have worked so long and hard to make it impossible for small/micro entrepreneurs to set up and compete that there are so many more people who can't find a legitimate way to earn a living.
The safety net is stretched to the limit because a few jackasses decided that the economy did not have to be restructured. Instead they convinced everyone that indebtedness was the definition of prosperity. They created a nation of consumers of junk made in China financed with HELOC credit cards.They should all be hung.
Yes, and we should start calling them WELFARE KINGS. These WELFARE KINGS steal more and cost society far more in one year than all the 'welfare queens' combined since welfare started.
WELFARE KINGS....I lke it. It's easy for the common man to understand. It was the Ronald Reagan welfare queen remarks that were an integral part of the explosion of greed ignited in the '80's 'greed is good' era.
Good idea, I'm gonna do something with that.
Yer' welcome.
Still waiting for that 'Criminal of The Banking Crisis' deck of playing cards. Maybe even come up with a game involving the cards. Best, WB7. Good morning to you-
If they ever do a real audit of the Fed, you will see who the real welfare queens are.
I've told the feds that they can see my books if I can see theirs - all of theirs.
My relationship with them is - to put it politely - strained.
At least they understand that I will not live as a doormat for sociopaths.
There are many kinds of greed. There is the professional mooch and there is the compulsive economic parasite. I have no use for either.
Yes there are many iterations but only 1 root. My definition still holds true. Both of your examples want the UN EARNED
By greedy he probably meant interested in maintaining and expanding his own privilege as well as that of his contributors; not for the public's good, but for his own (and contributor's) sake.
Because after all, to fix Medicare he wants to give it to the privates. That is, giving Medicare to the banks. Throw a problem to a bank and it'll make it worse. No solution there, just greed.
He no longer wants to spend money he doesn't have except when it's the military or any of his contributor's. That's also called greedy, because at the same time he cuts funds for those who truly need them to survive. Yup, Mammon there too.
The dollar won't be debased for the sake of welfare. It'll be debased to continue funding the military industrial banking complex. Yup, that's greedy too.
Greed should be a capital sin for cahtolics. Wonder what Ryan says aboot that.
No, no...not Catholic. He meant Catholick.
You know, the same sect that likes to bugger little boys and enslave women. Nothing like the traditional followers of Christ. Nothing at all like those nitwits who minister to the poor, drive money changers from the temple, and other ancient concepts.
Don't kid yourself, they are only interested in chopping the other guys trees, never their own. Cut the entitlements so we can spend on the military. I'm tired of that old tune.
A tune that Ron Paul does not sing.
The real kahuna?, They want the narrative to revert to last summer when everyone was pretending to argue about the budget instead of the kleptocracy.
Wall Street fell off the radar screen until OWS brought the issue front and center. They would all love for Wall Street to fall off the radar screen once again.
Look who is financing them.
You are a child William
Ryan and Rand are/were proposing real world solutions
You spend your days photoshopping images and jacking off.
Pretty sad.
I too grow tired of the "there is no hope we are all just the slaves of our alien overloads...give up".
Yes the currency is fucked, we will get past that. Yes the governemtn is too big, they will shrink when the dollar dies....and no...the overloards do not control all.
Good article (ZH, George Washington I believe) on control of the internet conversation a few days ago. You should ask if your beliefs contribute to the conversation or are just an effort to control it. The 'there is no hope' mime is self defeating, lazy and wrong.
sorry to be so adult...
I have thought about a great deal. The current situation, which is a Morton's Fork, is the root of the problem. Basically Red versus Blue is another fancy trading hedge and the people who are setting up the trade have no interest in all the noise on TV.
They are set to win either way and until people wake up to that unpleasant reality there will only be more of the same.
Which brings up Joe Biden's "chain rant" fom yesterday.....some bs about the banksta's putting us in chains...if Mitt gets the nod.....and under The Big O, the banksta's did not have a totally free hand?????
As I recall, GS is one of the largest O contributors, and they always get something in return.
If you do a game tree analysis of the possible outcomes, it's heads we win tails you lose. They bought Obama and now they will buy Romney, knowing that they have won either way. Sounds familiar.
No need to 'buy' Romney. He is already a member of the club. His dues are paid up.
They are, however, buying some insurance with ungodly sums of invisible campaign cash. This, however, is a mere pittance compared to the expected windfall returns. After all, what is a mere $billion invested when long term gain is a $trillion?
I worked 50+ hour work weeks starting from when he was 10 years old.
In the P as in private sector.
What that means quite simply is I can do and say whatever the fuck I want thank you.
And if it agitates a few morons here and there, all the better.
Thats why they come here. They like punishment and humiliation.
I don't mean to punish anyone, but I do mean to be blunt ;-)
Pass that blunt this way Billy!
and we got them; with a vengeance! Soooo real world solution of Ayn's other son, Greenspan, does it raise you to Atlas's summit?
John Galt rules! In today's world!
