You Think What?

As the movement to demonstrate utter dissatisfaction with the behavior and lack of response to the publics’ demands grows around the world we’ve found an Occupy Wall Street survey.

We suggest you take time to complete the survey found here. When you do you’ll be able to see the issues most important to those who are protesting in cities across this nation as well as to those who support their actions.

BTW… in light of the continuing and escalating violence on behalf of those who have the most to lose from the success of the protests on Wall Street, in New York City, Washington, D.C. along with big and small towns around the United States, we suggest the organizers of Occupy Wall Street demonstrations plan a day of national strike. Implementation of the idea is past overdue…so how about it? A day where everyone who works stays home…a day when everyone who shops makes no purchases; or everyone who uses transportation, personal or public, stays home. No banking, no school, no emergency medical services, no utility services. Everyone stay home, on the same day for one day. We guarantee someone among the so-called movers and shakers will be paying attention.

Be sensible…stay warm this winter, do not put your physical body in harm’s way…stay home to protest against the banksters, and the corporate scions.

The 2012 Presidential Election is starting to heat up despite being nearly two full years from November 2012. Although no 2012 GOP Presidential Candidates have officially entered the race there are four Republicans who have formed a “front-runners” group and most people in the know believe the GOP challenger will be from this group.

What follows is a very short overview of each of the four Republican politicians who are among those in the front-runners group. Their names are Sarah Palin, Mitt Romney, Mike Huckabee, and Newt Gingrich. One of these Republicans is likely to be facing off against President Barack Obama in November of 2012.

Sarah Palin is the certainly the most widely known of the potential GOP candidates because she was McCain’s VP nominee in 2008 and because she has been in the news consistently during the last two years despite quitting her job as Governor of Alaska half way through her Governorship in order to make a ton of cash by appearing on Fox News, selling speech appearances, Facebooking, and selling books. While Palin is well known she is not liked very much outside of the Republican Tea Party base.

Mitt Romney is probably the best possible GOP candidate in a general election match-up against Obama. Luckily for Obama, Romney’s reputation as a “Republican In Name Only” and a flip flopper (he was for universal health care before he was against it) will probably doom his chances in the Republican primaries. He is just too moderate for today’s far right wing Republican Tea Party. His “RomneyCare” health care plan as Governor of Massachusetts will be a favorite subject of his primary opponents.

Mike Huckabee came in second to McCain in the ’08 Republican primaries and if recent Republican history is a good indicator that should make him the the odds on favorite this time around. But his lack of “fiscal conservative” credentials will likely doom him in the GOP primaries. If he is able to the general election then his extremely conservative views on social issues will likely be his undoing.

Newt Gingrich completes this list. Although I find it quite hard to believe, Gingrich does well in Republican primary polling. Unfortunately for Gingrich he does horribly when up against Obama head to head. This makes sense because Gingrich was a very unpopular politician in the the mid 1990s and not all Americans have forgotten that he was a terrible disaster when he was last given any sort of power.

Republican George W. Bush the author of the book Decision Points released on November 9, was the 43rd ruler of the United States. He was retired in January of 2009. Bush’s father, George H. W. Bush, was the 41st ruler of the United States. Lets look at several items of his life and deeds in order to get to know the basics of his decisions.

Texas Governor
Bush assumed office as Governor of Texas on January 17 of 1995, beating favored official Ann Richards. Though Texas’ legislature is essentially a parliamentary scheme, giving a bit of genuine power with the governor, Bush still succeed to accept the largest ceasing of a tax in the state’s history and a quantity of other policies, involving the maintenance for belief- based charitable campaigns which would grow into a key to his prime term agenda as Governor of the Unated States. 152 fulfillments were performed in Texas within Bush’s six-year term.

Presidency
Bush’s presidency has been, in some ways, determined by several major events. He has worked as a President just eight months before the 9/11 attacks on New York City and The Pentagon. Shortly afterwards, he initiated the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq. All of such events were explained in his new book Decision Points by George Bush.

Among Bush’s major inner policies are the Patriot Act, extending the authority of law compulsion and intelligence agencies, several considerable tax cuts done for the purpose to enhance the economy and a failed try to reform the Social Security system via the use of private accounts.

Bush has also took controversial resolutions surrounding stem cell study, the use of domestic surveillance to defeat terrorist schemes and a guest worker program to stem the tide of illegal immigration.

Legacy
Though a lot of conservatives continue to celebrate his inheritance, and Bush himself has theorized that history will look kindly on several of his more difficult decisions, the ongoing wars were launched on his watch and different failures – including the administration’s not immediate reaction to the devastation of New Orleans by Hurricane Katrina and its poor record on environmental matters – have made him a reputation as an unsuccessful president, as well as several of the lowest poll amounts since the presidency of Richard Nixon. A Rolling Stone article in 2006 suggested he may be the “Worst President in U.S. History.

Book
Bush appeared in an interview on March 18, 2009, that he is writing a memoir named George Bush Decision Points which focuses on the former president’s “personal and presidential decisions.”

We have seen through the first eight years of the new century, a shift has occurred that leads us away from the Reagan conservatism of the 1980′s. This new philosophy, for the most part is more akin to liberal and centrist policies than to the ideals of great minds such as William F. Buckley Jr.,Albert Jay Nock, Willmoore Kendall, and James Burnham.

Buckley often criticized George W. Bush and described him thus “If you had a European prime minister who experienced what we’ve experienced it would be expected that he would retire or resign.”He would also say of the younger Bush, “Bush is ‘Conservative’, but he is not a ‘Conservative‘, and that the president was not elected ‘as a vessel of the conservative faith.’”

Many conservative pundits, and talk radio personalities such as Sean Hannity are calling for Conservatives to get back to their roots. Many of these prominent personalities feel that Conservatives have fallen far from the tree that birthed them, and the time has come for a drastic change in direction. Luminaries such as Newt Gingrich have given their ideals substance with projects like Larry Hunters “Contract with America” and “American Solutions for Winning the Future.”

With the election of Barack Obama to the presidency, there is a renewed call from the right to make a course correction that will invigorate their base, and help to right the sinking ship of ideals piloted by Ronald Reagan some 30 years ago. If the Tea Party and 912 groups are a good indicator, than it appears the call has been heard. These usually individualistic and fiercely independent Conservatives have begun forging strong bonds and growing their numbers for a battle with the liberal agenda of Barack Obama, and his minions.

We have already seen that these Tea Party Patriots can and do influence the course of elections, catapulting virtually unknown candidates into the spotlight and forcing them in as the designated candidate. We have seen astounding victories already such as Chris Cristie in New Jersey, and to a lesser extend in New York, where outsider Carl Paladino who trailed his opponent for the Republican nomination by a 12 point margin, stunned everyone by winning by 26 points, in a record turnout for a Republican primary in that state.

We should take these as omens of good things to come. An organized, and energized Conservative movement unlike anything we have seen is the end result of overbearing socialist policies forced upon us by a man who was once hailed as a ‘messiah’ by the media and his faithful. we must now seek to undo what he has wrought before it tears asunder the very foundations of which this country was founded.

I am not a republican, I am a Libertarian. My opinion is my own and was not the product of indoctrination by any pundit or Fox News.

The book of Ex US President George W Bush will be a comprehensive account of his “flaws and mistakes” as well as his achievements, his publishers said.

The previous President George W. Bush describes the critical decisions of his presidency and personal life.

Decision Points is the exciting masterpiece of America’s 43rd ruler. Breaking the traditions of political autobiography, George W. Bush suggests a completely sincere voyage via the defining decisions of his life.

The memoir, Decision Points by George Bush will suggest “never-before-heard detail” on several of the key events of Mr Bush’s presidency, Crown Publishers announced. Because of coming out in November, the memoir also includes Mr Bush’s family life.

The former Texas governor finished his presidency in 2009 with one of the lowest presidential approval ratings ever. In gripping, President Bush takes readers inside the Texas Governor’s Mansion on the night of the very contested 2000 election; inside Air Force One on 9/11, in the hours after America’s most ruinous attack since Pearl Harbor; at the head of the table in the Situation Room at the time before launching the war in Iraq; and behind the Oval Office table for his historic resolutions on the financial catastrophe, Hurricane Katrina, Afghanistan, Iran, and different issues that have shaped the first decade of the new age.

Correspondents say his legacy especially has been damaged by terrific wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and the global financial crisis.

In a statement, Crown Publishers told George Bush Decision Points would centre on 14 resolutions Mr Bush made within his being a president. President Bush speaks openly and directly about his flaws and errors, but not avoiding his accomplishments reforming education, curing HIV/AIDS in Africa, and defending the USA amid chilling warnings of additional terrorist attacks. He also shows intimate fresh details on his resolution to stop taking an alcohol, discovery of belief, and relationship with his family.

A publishing branch source told the Associated Press news agency that Mr Bush had finished a first draft and was editing the book in his office in Dallas, Texas.

The memoir is due to come out for sale on 9 November. Mr Bush will support it with a nationwide tour. The autobiographies of Mr Bush’s wife, Laura, are due out on 4 May.

A groundbreaking new kind of memoir, Decision Points will fascinate supporters, puzzle critics, and shift perspectives on the most consequential eras in American life – and the man at the middle of it.

So looking forward to the book release in order to appreciate its depth.

George W. Bush mentioned that his upcoming memoir starts with an anecdote about his wife convincing him to stop drinking by pushing him to decide whether he preferred booze to fatherhood.

Bush said Decision Points due for release in November, opens with the part and him being inquired whether he loved booze more than his wife, Laura. He said he realized he had an addictive personality and quit drinking cold turkey.

In Decision Points by George Bush he also mentioned the book is less the description of his life and more an analysis of key decisions in his life, both before and after he became president. Topics will include the invasion in Iraq and Afghanistan, the troop surge in Iraq, his answers to Hurricane Katrina and the financial meltdown.

Bush, who left office in January 2009 and went with his family to Dallas, appeared relaxed and in good humor throughout his speech. The 63-year-old riffed on retirement, joking that he was playing shovelboard after his performance and that his domestic agenda now consists of taking out the waste and cooking the dishes.

He plugged Laura Bush’s new book “Spoken from the Heart,” telling conventioneers that they ought to purchase it. He said his wife’s purchase of their Dallas home, where they moved after leaving the White House, was a “faith-grounded initiative – as I hadn’t seen it.” He also made a joke about the comedown of after-presidential life, saying he understood how various his life was when he was strolling with his dog Barney through his new dwelling.

When he wasn’t dishing out one-liners, Bush at times seemed quite a sentimental. He praised his father, the 41st president, for aiding him be the 43rd. He said that he never would be sitting here without the unconditional love of an awesome man.

Although Bush was criticized for not confessing errors during his presidency, he was more sincere at the congress. He said his biggest pity was not finding armoir of mass ruination in Iraq, and that he was misled by intelligence reports.

In his book George Bush Decision Points Bush told that he didn’t have a success at elevating political discourse and marked politics are “tough and ugly.” He said he remains disappointed he could not pass meaningful change on Social Security and immigration, and that it was a tactical mistake not to tackle immigration after he won re-election in 2004.”The pity thing is you don’t get do-overs,” he said. “You’ve got to make the calls. I got certain thing right. I got certain actions and things wrong.”

The publisher of former ruler of the USA George W. Bush’s bestseller Decision Points on Sunday set a Nov. 9 release date, revealed its cover design and announced new details about it. Bush has declared he is not writing a traditional memoir but an account of key decisions in his life.

The cover includes a photo of then-President Bush alone with his ideas, standing in the Rose Garden Colonnade, wearing a dark suit and holding a briefing book, his head a bit turned from the operator. Bush book contains his key political resolutions. Taking into consideration the unpopularity among the masses over his resolution during his tenure, this book ‘decision points’ will provide George W Bush a chance to explain under what circumstance he took those resolution and also assist many fellow Americans to learn more about why he did is correct or wrong. Releasing memoir after being a president and runner up in election become an usual thing in recent times, the fresh popular memoir to astonish the public is the book of republican representative Sarah Palin’s ‘Going Rogue’.

Agreeable with Crown Publishers, Decision Points by George Bush will present “absorbing, never-before-heard detail” on such historic events as the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks and the 2000 presidential election along with Bush’s resolution to stop taking an alcohol, his relationship with the members of his family and other personal details.

Crown mentioned in a statement that after leaving the Oval Office, President Bush has given virtually no interviews or public speeches about his term. In exchange for, it has taken him nearly each day writing George Bush Decision Points a strikingly private and candid account revealing in which way and why he made the main resolutions in his consequential presidency and personal life.

A publishing sphere source familiar with the book said that Bush had completed a first draft and was editing the manuscript on his PC in Dallas. A former White House speech creator, Chris Michel, is helping with research. The source was not certain whether Bush had compared what we wrote with his wife, Laura Bush, whose memoir comes out May 4.

As president, Bush was famous for not acknowledging mistakes, but Crown mentioned that he writes sincerely and straight about his flaws and mistakes, as well as his historic accomplishments in education shifts, providing life-saving treatments for HIV/AIDS and malaria for myriads of people in Africa, safeguarding the Unites States from one more terrorist attack, and other areas.”

The book will cost $35. One thousand signed, clothbound copies will be available, at the price $350.

The former president will promote his book via a national tour, although Crown, a division of Random House Inc., declared no details were affordable.

Doublethink is a sort of self imposed mental illness. It is a decisional non-decision, a worldview that claims there are no worldviews, therefore it is extremely dishonest. It is an attempt at an intellectual swindle perpetrated on those who suffer from intellectual illiteracy. Doublethink is another name for Relativism.

As Orwell describes in his great books, 1984:

Doublethink: “The power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one’s mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them. … To tell deliberate lies while genuinely believing in them, to forget any fact that has become inconvenient, and then, when it becomes necessary again, to draw it back from oblivion for just so long as it is needed, to deny the existence of objective reality and all the while to take account of the reality which one denies—all this is indispensably necessary. Even in using the word doublethink it is necessary to exercise doublethink. For by using the word one admits that one is tampering with reality; by a fresh act of doublethink one erases this knowledge; and so on indefinitely, with the lie always one leap ahead of the truth.”

This is an extremely accurate description of how Liberals and religious people approach the political arena of ideas. Anyone who has ever argued with a Liberal or an evangelical knows what I am talking about. Liberals and Christians have transformed doublethink into an art form!

The Importance of the Topic

Relativism is so dominant in today’s world that we often overlook the significance of its influence. To understand Multiculturalism, on must first understand Relativism. Multiculturalism is actually Relativism applied to the collective. Historicism, Positivism, Humanism, and Liberalism all build their structures upon the foundation of Relativism.

The failures of both the League of Nations and the United Nations can be traced to a foundation in Relativism. In order to translate Obummer speak, one must understand Relativism.

Relativism is paving the way for the total collapse of our society. Before terrorists kill us, Relativism will have paved the way. Before our economy tanks, Relativism will have paved the way. Before China invades our country, Relativism will have paved the way.

What’s the Attraction?

What would make so many people subscribe to such an obviously ridiculous philosophy? Probably the greatest attraction is that Relativism is easy. In the mind of the doublethinker, ever opinion is elevated to rock star status. Knowing how to actually play an instrument or having a true understanding of music theory is no longer important. All you need to participate is an air guitar. In a society that has grown accustomed to yelling into a small metal box and having a hamburger pop out the other end, Relativism becomes quite attractive.

Relativism provides a false sense of freedom, much like heroin or opium, because one loses their awareness of the friction between truth and falsehood. Because one has relieved themselves from having to decipher truth from falsehood, one also experiences a false sense of moral superiority over those who make clear truth claims.

In reality one is merely a slave of ignorance rather than free from reality. Heroin has the same effect. The user may indeed feel temporary sensations of euphoria, but in the end they are bound by the chains of addiction.

Moral Relativism is indeed the opium of the Liberal. Just like any junky, they will go to great lengths to acquire their fix in order to escape reality with doublethink.

Case Study of a “Doublethinker”

The following are real examples of doublethink that I recently encountered on a forum. We’ll just call our subject “Lib X”.

Keep in mind that Lib X is not a stupid person. Lib X writes quite articulately. He has served in the military, seen action, and watched people die. I say this to make it clear that the average person who has ingested Relativism, is more-so under the influence of its debilitating effects than inherently incapable of understandings. Lib X’s mind is quite capable of having true understandings; it is merely under the influence of Relativism. With any good program of detox, Lib X is capable of full recovery.

Lib X described his education to be “an inch deep and a mile wide.” This is “newspeak” for knowing a great deal about nothing. It is an admission of participating in intellectual drift. Of course Lib X does not see things this way and is highly offended that I recognize things to be as they are. If I don’t play along with this game, if I notice that the emperor is not wearing any clothes, Lib X is then able to relieve himself by claiming moral superiority, because he would never judge someone as I just have. In Lib X’s world of doublethink, everyone is to respect his opinion as being valid and of great worth. To do otherwise is a “thought crime.”

Hitler to Hamilton

Our correspondence began with the topic of Hitler and ended with a Quote from Alexander Hamilton. Lib X had some rather interesting opinions that are quite frightening. Also keep in mind that Lib X, unfortunately, is a teacher.

Hitler

Lib X wanted to know if I was aware of the fact that Time Magazine had made Hitler the man of the year in 1938. Lib X held the opinion that in the beginning, Hitler was a good person who had good ideas, and that it was not until later in Hitler’s career, after Hitler went insane, that things took a turn for the worse.

Needless to say I was rather disturbed by his observations. I was rather curious as to how he had arrived at this conclusion. I told him that he was far from the mark, and suggested a half dozen books, including Hitler’s Mein Kampf, that he might take a look at. I explained to him that Chamberlain had a similar opinion of Hitler that directly allowed the Holocaust to take place.

This is why Relativism is so dangerous. This is what happens when our education is only an inch deep and a mile wide. Reality literally gets turned on its head. In the mind of a doublethinker, Hitler is both good and bad. The price we all pay for this sleepy complacency is far too high. Lib X’s opinion is of no value on this topic. Well, it is of great use to Fascist Muslims. They know Lib X will never see them coming. To the Muslims, Liberals are useful idiots.

As is quite typical of a Liberal, he was able to relieve himself by claiming moral superiority. I had mentioned to him that my opinion on this matter was based on a twenty five year study of the topic. To Lib X this was nothing more than arrogance, known as a “thought-crime” in Orwell’s novel. Lib X would never claim to know more than someone else, therefore he is morally superior. In truth, he is intellectually illiterate due to his lack of effort to gain understanding. He wants to be a rock star by playing air guitar.

To be fair, he did in fact purchase a copy of Hitler’s Mein Kampf. I hope he reads this work as well as some of the other books I mentioned. I mentioned these works not to elevate myself, but in hopes that Lib X would be encouraged to further is own personal studies.

I feel quite confident that he will discover that Hitler wanted to kill all the Jews when he was quite young. Any of Hitler’s “good ideas” were merely a means to this end, stepping stones on the road to his own power. I also feel confident that Lib X will discover that it was people who were intoxicated with doublethink that allowed Hitler to gain power. It was people just like himself, riding on their horse of moral superiority, that were just as responsible as Hitler for the horror of the holocaust.

Hamilton

“By 2050-earlier, probably- all real knowledge of Oldspeak will have disappeared. The whole literature of the past will have been destroyed. Chaucer, Shakespeare, Milton, Bryon (and in our example, Hamilton) – they’ll exist only in Newspeak versions, not merely changed into something different, but actually changed into something contradictory of what they used to be.” Orwell 1984

According to Lib X, and in the minds of doublethinkers world wide, it is impossible to determine what Hamilton was trying to communicate with his writings. Since Hamilton is dead, we can never know what he meant. To the doublethinker, we are left with only our own personal opinions of what it means to us. Each opinion is to be respected and valued.

“The sacred rights of mankind are not to be rummaged for among old parchments or musty records. They are written, as with a sunbeam, in the whole volume of human nature, by the hand of THE divinity itself, and can never be erased.” Alexander Hamilton

This is what lib X’s opinion is concerning the above statement by Hamilton:

He claims that the rights of men not being found on parchment, means that our rights do not come from the Bible.

He also feels that the rights of men “are here today and gone tomorrow, like a flash of light.”

He feels that the use of the word “divinity” is really in reference to the collective conscious of men, not of God. He feels that we as men give ourselves rights.

What Lib X has managed to do is to twist Hamilton’s words to mean the direct opposite of what Hamilton was communicating. Also, he was able to relieve himself by claiming moral superiority in not claiming to know what Hamilton meant. This is truly Orwellian! By choosing to be intellectually illiterate, one becomes more moral! By choosing to believe in a lie, one becomes closer to truth! From Orwell’s novel; “a successful manipulation of the mind, the person is no longer saying the opposite of what he thinks, but he thinks the opposite of what is true.”

This is so important. The greatest idea behind this experiment that we call America, is the concept that men have been given rights by God, as discovered through reason, not a government. These rights are permanent, part of the ground of being outside of human influence. This is what Hamilton was communicating.

I tried to explain to Lib X that to debate about what Hamilton meant was pointless, and was not a matter of opinion. I encouraged him to read Hamilton’s writings, and the writings that influenced Hamilton such as Aristotle, Thomas Aquinas and, John Locke. I directed him to Alexis De Tocqueville’s Democracy in America, and several other references that clearly show that Hamilton, and many other founding fathers, held the belief that the rights of humankind are given by God and not by governments. This fact is so fundamental, so well documented, that to argue about this is ridiculous.

Alexander Hamilton was more than a politician; he was a governmental theorists, or political philosopher. Alexander Hamilton was also one of the few leading founders that was actually a Christian, who drew heavily from the Bible in his political philosophy.

Now, like I said to Lib X, if you do not agree with Hamilton about this, then that would be a worthwhile debate. But to argue that reality is not real, to claim we have no way of knowing what he meant, is self-imposed stupidity.

Of course Lib X claimed moral superiority. He was far above the fray by claiming not to know what Hamilton meant. To Liberals, I am a thought criminal. In the mind of a doublethinker, it is wrong to actually know something. To claim that you actually know something is a “thought crime.” As Orwell states, “Ignorance is Strength.” Let us all pray that Lib X teaches auto repair or heating and air-conditioning, and not history or social studies.

Consequences of Relativism

Because of the large numbers of doublethinkers in our society, we are all dead. Not only do Liberals employ doublethink, but many on the religious right depend on doublethink as well. By the time my children reach adulthood, America will be no more. Relativism is paving the way for the collapse of our nation. The more doublethinkers ascend to positions of power, the faster our society will collapse.

Ronald Reagan once said that it takes only one generation to bring liberty into extinction. This is the generation that is bringing the extinction of liberty. We are watching the fall of America. Relativism is the opium of the Liberal mind, and we have great numbers hooked on its debilitating effects.

When Relativism permeates the educational system, ignorance 101 becomes mandatory. When Relativism permeates the judicial system, Justice gets turned on its head. When Relativism permeates the economic system, dependence on the government grows. When Relativism permeates foreign policy, tyrants become your friend, and allies are turned into adversaries.

Everything that is touched by the mind of Relativism begins to decay. Terrorism will not be our downfall directly, nor economic hardship. Before any of these things do us harm, Relativism will have paved the way
