A Brief Response to the President's Inauguration Speech
Well it's good to know I'm part of a "we"- obligated by my unchosen birthplace to serve hundreds of millions of people I will never meet, know or care about. How truly sympathetic of our ever-caring president, on his day of inauguration, to endorse coercion on *other people* to provide for his distinguished public programs of utter uselessness.
You know, being president-dictator doesn't actually give you the right- surprisingly enough- to demand the provision of stuff to the less-capable- stuff that isn't free, mind you. If he really thinks that by swearing an oath to his God, he somehow invokes such a power, I wish him a very, very short existence.
How interesting that the free market functions more "competitively" under his arbitrary rules and special privileges. Truly fascinating that with one wave of his magical wand of "fairness", we get a redistribution society of nationalization, centralization, and power by the elite- the government elite.
Get your hands out of the market.
I want one solid reason to justify spending everyone else's money on climate change. What's the unemployment rate these days? 8%? Drop dead. I don't have a single care to give if humans are heating the globe, or if they aren't- the evidence is inconclusive that it results in a net-negative effect on the population. Unemployment at 8%, and inflation at whatever God-forsaken number, *is* *conclusively* *bad* for a whole country of people. How about you fix that instead?
And what about individual freedom- to keep stuff like money, and guns? Is that a thing these days? Or is Obama too hip for that? Because he's the hip president, you know. Smoking marijuana and using "a little blow," only to turn around and incarcerate millions who did the exact same thing he did in college. As "criminals", apparently. What a joke. Set them free, and let people keep their things, and let people sell whatever inanimate objects they want to sell, and then *maybe* I'll be convinced that by legalizing gay marriage- you actually care about liberation.
Talkin real smooth is nice, but walking like you talk is a hell of a lot nicer.

Be careful not to get too angry sounding :) I enjoyed the music during the inauguration (just to point to the positive side of things)

ReplyDeleteOf course, my wonderful mother :) I'm afraid I was simply in an angry mood just then.
DeleteThe music was pretty alright.
