He Is John Galt

John Galt is a character in Ayn Rand's classic novel Atlas Shrugged.

This John Galt is Keith Arnold, September 24, 2008:

I Am John Galt

"I have had it up to my eyeballs with the ever-growing government, the nanny-state, the collectivism, the whole world demanding more and more from the producers. I am done with the corrupt politicians, the slackers, the deadbeats, and all the looters and moochers.

I am sick of a government which has drifted from its early Constitutional foundation of limited central government and great individual freedom, and become a bloated behemoth consuming 40 percent of our economy and hungry for more. I am finished with out-of-control political correctness and its attendant thought police outlawing truth in order to cater to those who would destroy us.

HERE I STAND. I AM JOHN GALT.

Whether the world around me likes it or not, I will put my foot down and insist on personal responsibility and accountability. I will tell my government to take its hands off my rights, my freedom, and my wallet. If the people of other nations are content to allow their countries to devolve into Hell, that's their business. I'm sick of financing their destruction. They can plunge into chaos on their own dime.

As for my own, I will be a call for my government to return to doing those things which are right for a legitimate government to do - to form a more perfect Union, establish justice, ensure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty for ourselves and our posterity. Not to regulate the price of milk, meddle with the mortgage market, bail out failing companies, or tell me how to raise my children.

HERE I STAND. I AM JOHN GALT.

And I have a pulpit. I may not be able to stop the motor of the world, but I will stomp on the brake, and I will fight for control of the steering wheel before the motor seizes up on its own - and believe me, that motor is on its way to seizing up.

I will give Caesar his due, but I will not bow to him.

I am John Galt. Come and join me, or come and get me. Here I stand."

I believe Ms. Rand would approve.

Let's Get Pertinent

I was working on a post about how Joe Wurzelbacher aka Joe-the-Plumber was being used by the MSM and the Dummycrats to divert attention from Obama's revelation that he wants to "spread the wealth around".

But then I read Rachel Lucas' post

which put my puny words to shame. I cannot improve on this:

"First, Ace of Spades asks a very pertinent question: why not “vet” all the “journalists” just like they’ve “vetted” Joe the plumber? No seriously. Why not? Why not put all their tax, voting, divorce, and personal information all over the internet?

I suppose the answer is that “journalists” don’t actually ASK IMPORTANT QUESTIONS like Joe the plumber did. They don’t get Obama to say what he really thinks like Joe the plumber did.

Assholes. I mean it. Anyone who has published anything shitty about this individual is an ASSHOLE. Joe Wurzelbacher has nothing to do with anything and yet you’re crucifying the guy instead of asking important, meaningful questions about the Democrat candidate for president. Worthless punks. You know it’s true. WORTHLESS."

The Temple of the Goracle

I happened upon a new website today:

The Temple of the Goracle

an homage (NOT) to the Ignobel prize-winning, faux-documentary-making, global-warming hypocrite Al Gore, known as The Goracle to his cultified mindless minions (Gorebiciles?).

Aren't we just so glad that The Goracle invented the Internet?

How Do You Spell Socialism?

O B A M A

Barack Hussein Obama's true color is beginning to come through ...

On camera at a campaign stop in Ohio, a plumber asked, "Your new tax plan is going to tax me more, isn't it?"

Barky responded:

"It's not that I want to punish your success. I just want to make sure that everybody who is behind you, that they've got a chance for success too. My attitude is that if the economy's good for folks from the bottom up, it's gonna be good for everybody ... I think when you spread the wealth around, it's good for everybody."

Spread the wealth around ...

Taking from the rich, the almost-rich, and well, anybody who is actually contributing something to this country and giving it to those who have sat around for generations taking and complaining that it is not enough while breeding more generations of takers and complainers ... and to those who are not even citizens of this country but want their share, too.

"This is nothing more than the core philosophy of the welfare state.
It is also the core principle of socialism."
Joseph Hornberger

UNBELIEVABLE

Al Gore's New Low

Al Gore, the man whose previous LOWS included:

_ trying to disenfranchise the military vote in 2000;

_ refusing to concede the 2000 election, throwing the entire country into turmoil, causing a rift that has since widened into a chasm;

_ exercising an incredible amount of hypocrisy while preaching energy conservation and carbon footprint bullshit;

is NOW urging

CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE

"When the [Duval County, FL] canvassing board announced that the ballots of 149 soldiers, sailors, and airmen had been disqualified, a pair of jubilant Gore lawyers exchanged high-fives.

A Republican, visibly shaken by this sight, demanded to know how they could celebrate the disenfranchisement of U.S. military members risking their lives around the world.

One of the Gore lawyers glibly replied, "A win's a win."
