Wake Up America!

Wake Up America!

I'm not normally an alarmist but just look at the plan the communists have for us Americans. Found below is from an al-jezeera article

Castro absent at Cuba parade

where these collectivists say loud and clear what their intention is. It is our destruction. Read the following quotes:

The tributes to Castro also became a celebration of the resurgence of the left in Latin America.

"We have Venezuela, Cuba and soon Ecuador and Nicaragua," Morales told thousands of guests at the convention center.

"We want to make alliances with countries in the Middle East to bring an end to the United States empire!"

Minutes before Morales took the podium, Ortega announced that he had something special for Castro.

"I give you as a birthday gift the victory of the Sandinista Front in Nicaragua," he said.

'Fountain of ideas'

Venezuela's foreign minister, Nicolas Maduro - appearing in place of Castro's main ally, Hugo Chavez, the Venezuelan president - said the Cuban leader "has in all of these battles been a fountain of ideas, of life".

Chavez, who couldn't attend the event in Havana because he is running for re-election on Sunday, has said if he wins, he would dedicate his victory to Castro.

Colombian Nobel laureate Gabriel Garcia Marquez expressed optimism about Castro's health upon his arrival in Havana, the Communist Party newspaper Granma reported.

"What makes me most happy about being able to come now for the 80th birthday of Fidel is that I will be back for his 100th."

Fatso Fidel & Roundtable Raul

Fatso Fidel & Roundtable Raul

Oh sure Fidel looks skinny now. That’s because he has shoved so much rich food down his greedy gullet that his cancerous digestive track has just shut down. His brother Raul still has some function in his digestive track because he appears to be about a 44 inch with a stretch-band waist to accommodate the wide fluctuations. Fortunately he is well on his way to the colostomy bag too. But it is fitting that they forced their own people to survive on beans, rice and even sugar cane while they dined like royalty which ironically will speed their demise. It is a very painful death they face as well. I’d rather go in my sleep in about another hundred years.

This gluttonous diet of the brothers aptly demonstrates their greed in more than just their food intake. It symbolizes their personality. Their greed is for everything that they want no matter who they hurt or kill. And they have had the spoiled child power to do just that even to their own detriment. This greed has forced 11 million Cubans to live in squalor and boredom stuck in time unnecessarily. There is no sane reason for people to need to be transported in wheel barrels to get to the hospital in emergencies. Electric blackouts and dengue outbreaks do not happen in intelligently governed nations. They always occur where some selfish despots enslave the productive capability of the people and rob them of what meager wealth they are permitted to create.

So let the punishment fit their crimes. The torture Fidel is experiencing now is his first installment to repay his debt to humanity. I’m happy to see that Hugo is following the Fidel dietary model letting his gluttonous food consumption choke him into an early grave. So my message to you Cubanos is to eat intelligently and exercise regularly. We sensible, frugal Cubanos will simply out live the greedy tyrants! In the mean time we should all send a ham to the highest Cuban official we can – with extra salt. This will not violate the embargo and be a very cost effective bio weapon to kill the top leadership. Let me throw out two little words – animal fat. We need to lard up the leadership. We can pork roast the polit-bureau. Consider this our caloric Trojan horse. Okay commies…come and get it!

Left and Right

Left and Right

If the left’s not right and the right’s not right then what’s left of our rights?

Supposedly the left favors personal freedom but government control of economic decisions. Allegedly, the right favors economic freedom but government intervention in personal private behavior of adults. So where do we stick people like Hitler, Stalin, Mao and Castro on this flat political playing field? They demand total control of all decisions, personal and economic, under penalty of death. What about folks like Thomas Jefferson and I who fear the government having any say so in either personal or economic decisions of law abiding, responsible adults? Are we left or right? Obviously, the left right political spectrum is primitive and inadequate to measure one’s political heartbeat. That is why my friend David Nolan created the Nolan chart to accommodate both pro and anti government intervention supporters.

Here is a common mistake that many who claim to be on the left and right regularly make. They believe that we must regulate the number of people who get into our country because too many people will use up all the resources and jobs. But this is backwards thinking and here is why. Wealth (a good or service needed or desired that make living more civilized) is created when human labor is mixed with the land. That is an undeniable, unchangeable economic law. If you have more humans in a given area with access to the land for living and working you will have more wealth created. Sadly, capitalist tax policy is weighed heavily on labor and not on land value. Therefore humans are blocked from having equal access to the land to employ their labor to create wealth and even more importantly store their wealth. So older societies with dense city populations have lots of homelessness and poverty. This occurs in the middle of vast fortunes. But it is not because there are too many people with a finite pool of jobs. It is because there are too many people hoarding urban land who create no actual wealth themselves. Hoarding blocks job creation as well which depresses everyone’s wages. They charge an earth rent for access to the land. All this does is transfer wealth from poorer hands into richer hands. But do not mistake this transfer for the productive goods and services that are actual wealth. Wouldn’t it be better to change tax policy to in effect let as many people as possible work here productively rather than wasting money building walls to keep them out? But we can’t let more people in because of all the free stuff our government gives out to the poor right? Wrong! It is the very government tax policy that is creating and maintaining a permanent economic underclass beholding to the very same bureaucracy for hand outs.

Mind what I say Cubanos when it comes time to fix Cuba. We have seen what does and does not work. Communism has been a colossal failure which none can deny. However, the Batista, labor taxation based government that permitted urban land hoarding produced enough poor, unhappy people to get us into this mess in the first place. Cubans have suffered the most but this will make them wise people enlightened by the reality of their failed socialist experiment. If we can implement this Georgist economic reform that I advocate, Cubans WILL become the richest people on the earth by far! Then all we will need to guard against are the excesses brought about by complacency and undisciplined behavior that accompanies wealth. But training one’s self to maintain a correct diet and caloric intake is preferable for a free man than worrying about where your next meal will come from.

The Liar Lies Again

The Liar Lies Again

Fidel’s entire existence has been based on lies. He lied and said he was not a communist. He lied and promised democracy. He lied when he said socialism would bring prosperity. He lied when he said he eliminated dengue fever on the island. He lied when he claimed the most resent outbreak was “fever syndrome.” He’s lying now when he claims new breakthroughs in fighting dengue fever just so he can sucker in more tourists and their dollars. He lied when he said he’d be partying with his commie buddies this week. The old people in Cuba may still believe Castro. Perhaps it is because they couldn’t live with themselves if they came to the realization that they had been duped by a master con man all these years. But the youth, born with a need to be free and expressive of their individuality, are not going for it. As it is now they only have an inkling of what they are missing out on. Once they realized how they are really being screwed over by Fidel and communism or socialism or whatever kind of “ism” you want to call it – they are going to have open rebellion in the streets. And word is getting through to the youth. They know they don’t have a car. They don’t have computers, email, web purchasing, video games, black Friday sales or prom dates. In fact, my kids, the youngest two of which are not even employed, have more disposable income than the average Cuban adult.

My kids and virtually all other kids in America can get any medicine they need. They must learn self discipline because there is so much food available that obesity is a major concern. The poorest among us usually still can afford cable TV. While it is true that we have a small percentage of homelessness here because of the economics of slave labor taxation and urban land monopoly, most live in decent housing. In Cuba virtually all of the housing is crumbling into the dirt. What good is free education? The only jobs available are prostitute, waiter, taxi driver, etc. and they don’t teach these jobs in Cuban schools. Why study for years to become a doctor when you can make ten times more catering to the needs of tourists? Castro said he eliminated organized crime in Cuba but again he lied. He merely replaced the old mafia with the Havanaban mafia. Fortunately the lying liar is lying in his bed dying. He can lie about that but it won’t keep him from his date with the grim reaper. And that’s no lie.
