You know, how they like to constantly tell you how better they are than you? How else are you going to know unless they tell you all the time?This is their chance to prove it...for the umpteenth time…really put their money where their mouth is. Well…eventually our money. Why this time and this candidate? Because the empty platitudes free the same people from any guilt of agreeing with him if he says the wrong thing. Because of course he hasn’t said anything. Who isn’t a champion for peace? That’s not an accomplishment. Nor is it a failure to succeed in your proposal…because there is no proposal.<BR/><BR/>When people fall in love with the slogan “change” they are always thinking of their own good version of it. Example: a leftist who is delighted that Bush’s approval rating is at an all time low, especially among conservatives, I think proves we dislike different things about the President.

Surely you must live in a world of 120 hour days! :-)<BR/><BR/>This swooning Obama-worship of what would seem an empty suit is bizarre and curious. Note how it follows the irrational demonization of the current POTUS now seen as a figure of such mythic evil that he, George Bush, is held to have deliberately murdered thousands of innocent Americans on 9/11 as a pretext for immoral imperialist war. This is a view which is resolutely held by graduates of our most prestigious universities! That such an event would have no historical precedent and that such a purported crime would exceed the ruthless cynical evil of the purported NAZI burning of the Reichstag can not be without meaning. <BR/><BR/>I had a thought last night after reflecting upon your essay, Bob. Given the powerful projection, scapegoating and displacement poured into the demonization of George W. Bush could it be that this Obamamessiah personna is a necessary counter to fabricated evil Bush-Hilter figure (and the powerful divisive hysteria and paranoia which has accompanied the demonization of George Bush) ... sort of virtual particle and virtual anti-particle emerging from a spiritual vacuum?<BR/><BR/>Thanks again for the insight Bob!<BR/><BR/>Mike O'MalleyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-64369783726367883792008-02-13T20:34:00.000-08:002008-02-13T20:34:00.000-08:00Will said “It was as if Germany's nationalistic, i...Will said “It was as if Germany's nationalistic, imperialistic impulse/drive called forth a leader to make things cohesive, give it a shape, a clear meaning. In some sense then, Hitler was a thought-form, a tulpa, in Tibetan Buddhist parlance.”<BR/><BR/>What I’m noticing, is that fascism seems to be, extending my previous comment, that point where all the competing ism’s: Marxism, communism, socialism, are gathered together, packed together, and are unable to move, their ‘philosophical’ differences locking elbows together and in the midst of that building tension of ‘something’s got to happen!’, in comes someone who puts forth the gist of their urges, a socialistic looting togetherness, and a discarding of those cumbersome philosophies in favor of unrestricted pragmatic Action! Focused upon and implemented through the uniting vision of a charismatic vital man of Action!<BR/><BR/>The press at the center becomes the focal point, the center of gravity, and it begins to swirl into motion, but what they interpret as progress, is in fact the drain beginning to open up and swirl sucking them down.<BR/><BR/>Fascism is a phenobamenom of ideas discarded for hyper-pragmatic action united into a communal action movement behind a charismatic leader the people see as embodying their values and desires and convincingly assuring that they are right in their uniting within him.<BR/><BR/>America, in its founding principles, is absolutely opposed to that, but as noted already, those founding principles have for several generations been de-educated out of large quantities of our population. I don’t think there’s been enough bred to reach that critical mass… yet… but… momentum is an interesting and gathering force.<BR/><BR/>Education is the only way we’ll avoid and prevent it from happening here, and, putting my doom and gloom hat on, if we don’t re-popularize an unpopular form of Education, it most certainly can and will eventually ‘happen here’.<BR/><BR/>Note the 'code pink' Berkeley obstructive protestors.

I love you guys... but....<BR/><BR/>So, let me pick back up by mixing up my metaphysiphores a bit.<BR/><BR/>Obama is literally the Ideal candidate of the Leftists, a candidate of ideas without content but understood to foretell actions. What the left does, what it idealizes, is a leveling, democratizing, egalitarianism - which is to say a flattening of all hierarchies - cultural, political and conceptual. I've tried to illustrate the way the left and right deal with concepts before by comparing their thought processes with the image of the common Childs stacking toys of numerous discs, ranging from tiny to large, each with a hole through the center, half being circular, half square, and numerous round & squared posts.<BR/><BR/>The extreme leftist will tend to want to arrange them flat, perhaps by color & central hole style - the extreme conservative will want to stack them, large on the bottom ranging up to the top, with the axle through the center.<BR/><BR/>The leftist sees the rights stacking as rigid and dogmatic, the conservative sees the lefts arranging as random and chaotic. Both styles are subject to problems, perhaps the conservative over stacks his discs, but he retains a central meaning, a closeness between discs, and pyramidal shapes formed from their stacks that the leftist will never see. The leftist is able to perhaps see more of the discs surfaces, more color, more shape, but he loses nearly all relational meaning between the discs - all are separate, unintegrated and interchangeable.<BR/><BR/>Another consequence of this is that the conservative is able to gather his own central focus, his own weighty substance of thought which draws his eye and reverence upwards, either together with others, or solitarily. When he grasps and follows the Truth, it leads him hierarchically upwards even if he is the only one who sees it - he can reveal his own mountains.<BR/><BR/>The leftist, on the other hand, can only perceive weightiness through dense quantities, vast packing’s of discs upon the surface, stretching over great distances. While each disc may be interchangeable, it gains significance only by proximity to the center. Whatever is placed at the center IS the center, but since nothing in the arrangement necessitates it position there, it depends upon force and attractiveness to maintain its position.<BR/><BR/>Let me mix these metaphysiphores a little further by drawing in Gagdads image of the cone and inverted cones from the other day. The good raccoon's ideas naturally emulate and lift him towards the peak of the cone above. The leftist vital man on the other hand, having avoided the lift and erecting influence of Truth, can only seek the surface, and with their expanding expanse of flattened thought reaching critical mass, the center will begin to press and sway the surface to dip into a concave shape, the flattening pressure will force that surface to drop out into the downward pointing cone, and those people and ideas will slide and swirl towards the center like water towards a drain, and that central point will be the AC that draws them on, whether it be Adolf, or Jim Jones, Obama or anyone else.<BR/><BR/>The leftist has no ideas. I've never so realized this as I have at the Amazon site in the Liberal Fascism threads, the closest I've come in all this time to an actual argument of ideas was with a Foucault admiring post modernist who argued that Reason has no real relation to anything in reality, but its fun to play with. All others don't even make a pretense to the form of an argument, they assert, insult, chortle the party line and insult you - but never, not once, has there been an argument, or a meeting of ideas with anything but evasions. I even tried a few times to lay out an argument from their point of view - bafflement. What is worse than finding that many if not most people disagree with you, is realizing that not a one of them has an idea behind them. They only hold emotional positions they've been told that they believe, and the person who most 'clearly' sounds that belief, will draw the rest to him like a magnet.<BR/><BR/>That is what Obama is doing. And if he can ring all of their hot buttons effectively, youth, charm, easy self affirmation, free goodies, safe targets to revile, throngs willing to deny their retreat from the requirements of reality together, and of course widespread unity in absolution of visceral pleasures... then he will achieve critical mass, and the bottom will drop, and the whirlpool will be immense vortex drawing all into it. Only those who gravitate upwards towards Truth will escape it by rising upwards.<BR/><BR/>But if it is achieved, there will be blood.Van Harveyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08470413719262297062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-83636589595700116782008-02-13T18:52:00.000-08:002008-02-13T18:52:00.000-08:00And here face down beneath the sunHere upon Earth'...And here face down beneath the sun<BR/>Here upon Earth's noonward height<BR/>To feel the always coming on<BR/>The always rising of the night:<BR/><BR/>To feel creep up the curving East<BR/>The earthy chill of dusk and slow<BR/>upon those underlands the vast<BR/>And ever climbing shadow grow<BR/><BR/>And strange at Ecbatan the trees<BR/>Take leaf by leaf the evening strange<BR/>The flooding dark about their knees<BR/>The mountains over Persia change<BR/><BR/>And now at Kermanshah the gate<BR/>Dark empty and the withered grass<BR/>And through the twilight now the late<BR/>Few travellers in the Westward pass<BR/><BR/>And Baghdad darken and the bridge<BR/>Across the silent river gone<BR/>And through Arabia the edge<BR/>of evening widen and steal on<BR/><BR/>And deepen in Palmyra's street<BR/>The wheel-rut in the ruined stone<BR/>And Lebanon fade out and Crete<BR/>High through the clouds and overblown<BR/><BR/>And over Sicily the air<BR/>Still flashing with the landward gulls<BR/>And loom and slowly disappear<BR/>The sails above the shadowy hulls<BR/><BR/>And Spain go under and the shore<BR/>Of Africa the gilded sand<BR/>And evening vanish and no more<BR/>The low pale light across that land<BR/><BR/>Nor now the long light on the sea:<BR/><BR/><B>And here face downward in the sun<BR/>To feel how swift how secretly<BR/>The shadow of the night comes on...</B><BR/><BR/> <I>You, Andrew Marvell </I>-- Archibald MacLeishMizz Ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02325435271880036807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-12086701190397834052008-02-13T17:42:00.000-08:002008-02-13T17:42:00.000-08:00Van said:They are in leftie utopian heaven.Well an...Van said:<BR/><I>They are in leftie utopian heaven.</I><BR/><BR/>Well and good, Van, but these idiots want to drag you and me and the whole nation along for the ride.<BR/>If for no other reason I fear this clown for his glib postion on Iraq.

Our democratic ideal rests on the individual and his or her personal transcendence.<BR/><BR/>However - what if Obamamania isn't an essentially American phenom? As the American Thinker article pointed out, Obama the candidate may soon be running as essentially the World Candidate for president. Such is his superstar status in the 3rd World. The National Review even referred to him as possibly being the first "post-American" president. <BR/><BR/>And let's face it - several American generations have come of age, generations who have been taught, inculcated with the tenets of multiculturalism, diversity, etc., and whose ideals might be categorized as being post-American, global. <BR/><BR/>If BHO is an ac figure, then it might be the "World Volk" that is serving as the conjuring, catalyzing agent.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-69081376800628714412008-02-13T17:23:00.000-08:002008-02-13T17:23:00.000-08:00I've got to differ abit from some of the observati...I've got to differ abit from some of the observations; I don't think Obama is laying hold to much, if any, of the 'white guilt' crowd at all.<BR/><BR/>I think he's getting a little bit of a bounce from those who are RELEIVED to not have to pretend that they like, let alone vote for, Hillary.<BR/><BR/>Obama, has deliberately avoided the JesseAl SharpieTown race bating angle, and has allowed the 'people' to energetically surge into their legitimized looting litany without having to pay any homage to their past or parents uncivil wrongs crowd whatsoever.<BR/><BR/>Watch Obama, walk, talk, gesture - I'm cracking up; for all the hacks from Gary Hart through Lurch Kerry who've tried and tried and tried to imitate the style of JFK - his jacket button fiddlin, speech cadence, finger jabbing, humor, adorable young children, Obama HAS that style without any attempt to fake it.<BR/><BR/>Obama clearly has charisma; he can deliver a speech with the best of them.

Hitler didn't exactly create the strident nationalism existing at the time - there were nationalistic groups all over Germany, vying with one another, often violently. Hitler's gift, if you will, was his ability to bring them together under one banner, one philosophy.<BR/><BR/>It was as if Germany's nationalistic, imperialistic impulse/drive called forth a leader to make things cohesive, give it a shape, a clear meaning. In some sense then, Hitler was a thought-form, a tulpa, in Tibetan Buddhist parlance. <BR/><BR/>Of course, it helps to understand the meaning of "the Volk", which wasn't simply "the people" - it was something of a transcendent populism rooted in Teutonic folklore and myth, a mystical one-ness. I would think the Volk as it was understood then did serve as a particularly powerful conjuring agent.<BR/><BR/>Once the German people had been battered into defeat and utter disillusionment re their gods and goals, Hitler seemed to collapse into himself. Films of him in the last days of the Reich show him completely bereft of any kind of animating spirit; he was nothing but a dried out husk.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-56716434822504479582008-02-13T14:10:00.000-08:002008-02-13T14:10:00.000-08:00yeah right, i could chat with like a MIILLION of t...yeah right, i could chat with like a MIILLION of them if I wanted to!<BR/><BR/>I prefer foxcoons anyway.
