I thought O’Bama was Irish

I was shocked to find out that it’s not O’Bama , but Obama, apparently he’s not Irish. Or at least from his poor knowledge of Irish history , reveals he is does not have a grasp of recent Irish events. President Obama compared the conflict of the IRA with England to the Palestinian, Israeli conflict. He believes peace can prevail simply by Presidential persistence. Whether you are on the side of the Palestinians or the Israeli’s , peace is just not that simple. I am old enough to remember President Jimmy Carters attempts at peace between the two and President Bill Clinton gave both leaders millions in foreign aid to say they had an agreement, only to have it last about an hour that it took to get to the plane leaving DC. I have been a student of the conflict between the British and the IRA. If you can call it that. Many people do not even realize that the original Irish Army was a uniformed military like any other. They and the British fought in open battle. Way too many Irish died because of it. After the Irish surrendered the IRA took over using terrorist tactics, refusing to abide by the agreement. From that grew organizations like Sinn Fein and now today, there is the Real IRA. The simple fact was that the larger terrorist IRA, did lay down their weapons only after a threat that they would never be recognized as a legitimate political power until they did just that. Because of President George Bush, Tony Blair and a great deal of help from the Church the IRA laid down their arms. It was as show of force and nothing less that help end the major conflict.

Adam Smith the founder of Capitalism

First we must address the fact that what you have experienced in your lives is not real Capitalism. As a matter of fact it we have not experienced capitalism since your great-grandfathers time. When the papers and politicians proclaim that Capitalism just does not work, they simply do not know what they are talking about. Real Capitalism has not been experienced since the early nineteen-hundreds here in the United States. Presidents Hoover and Wilson started and perpetuated the Great Depression with the New Deal and the new movement of transferring wealth from rich to poor. We did not have an income tax in this country until 1862 when President Lincoln needed to pay for the war.  By the way that is what taxes are for to pay for what government does.

Many of our Founding Fathers patterned our economic system after the Scotsman Adam Smith. For those of you that don’t know Adam Smith, Smith was an 18th Century educator and wrote two very important works in history. The first was The Theory of Morale Sentiments, and the second The Wealth of Nations. If you read those two works and the works of Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged, then you are well equipped to understand the theory of economics. There are simpler books and more readily available. If you are interested in Wealth of Nations , then I strongly suggest a book by P.J. O’Rourke On The Wealth of Nations . The first of Adam Smith’s  books , Moral  and Sentiments, helps you understand that Capitalism, just like the Constitution of the United States, must be used by moral and honest people. Immoral and dishonest people can make any system or government structure corrupt.
I bring this up because of the current use of the term Socialism. As if it just reared it’s ugly head since Barack Obama was made President. Anytime you transfer ( insert the word steal) wealth from one group of people to another, such as rich to poor, that is Socialism. Socialism just simply does not work. Look at countries like Russia, France, and others. As well as versions or advancements in Socialism such as Marxism, and Communism. Many say that people simply are not charitable. This is completely untrue, but that is a good excuse to have the government take your money and then it to someone else. By the way the IRS uses force to take your money, try not paying your taxes for a couple of years, the definition of theft is taking money by force. Our Founding Fathers were close enough in history to of remembered what happened to us in Scotland and Ireland. Shut off the big screen and read some history, before they ban the books. It’s happened before.

The Prime Minister

As a Scotsman , I am no friend of the British, AKA the English. As the American Indians do not feel that they are Americans, since they were taken by force as we Scots were, I do not feel I am British. But that was then, and we should just forget the thousands of our fellow countrymen slain by a oppressive government simply wanting to acquire more land and power.

As Presidential nominee Barack Obama toured Europe he was lauded as the Saviour of the world. The British press acted like truck drivers at a strip club. However truck drivers have more integrity. Recently several things have happened that do not make the main stream news. The reason is that it makes President Barack Obama look bad, and we just can’t have that.

The British government are just as sycophants as the press, and the worm has turned on Barack Obama. A bust of Winston Churchill that sat in the White House for over ten years was removed and was scheduled to be returned to the British. At the same time Barack Obama snubbed British Prime Minister Gordon Brown when he visited the White House recently.

This blog in the Telegraph of London says it all:

Http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/james_delingpole/blog/2009/03/05/was_lady_macbeth_behind_barack_obamas_snub_of_gordon_brown

It points out that the real culprit may actually be the First Lady Michelle Obama. His assertion, and I do say assertion, that the First Lady simply holds all white people responsible for the oppression and slavery of blacks. The author of the blog, James Delingpole justifiably points out that it was Englishman William Wilburforce that was chiefly responsible for the elimination of slavery in the modern world.

For those of you feeling the “white guilt” that your white European ancestors were somehow the only bad people on the planet, I suggest you actually read some real history to find out just the opposite was true.

However Michelle Obama has shown on many occasions that she holds a very deep seated hatred for all whites.

Delingpole also writes:

 

Consider her (till-recently suppressed) Princeton thesis

, “Princeton Educated Blacks And The Black Community.”In it she writes: “I have found that at Princeton, no matter how liberal and open-minded some of my white professors and classmates try to be toward me, I sometimes feel like a visitor on campus; as if I really don’t belong. Regardless of the circumstances underwhich I interact with whites at Princeton, it often seems as if, to them, I will always be black first and a student second.”

Here we see that she has mastered the authentic voice of grievance culture. She also – the thesis was written in 1985 – pre-empts the Macpherson report’s

ludicrous, catch-all definition of racism: “A racist incident is any incident which is perceived to be racist by the victim or any other person.” No matter how hard young Michelle’s white undergraduate contemporaries try to be nice, it’s not their behavior that counts, but how Michelle feels.

That’s what much of our Political Correctness is based on, the premise that it is how someone perceives or feels about someone else’s actions.

And since we can clearly not control how someone else feels, then we are at the mercy of how somebody else feels about something. Ultimate control of the debate the is the goal.
Michelle may just hold Winston Churchill in very low esteem that she may very well have been the reason for the removal of the bust.

In the end spineless Prime Minister Gordon Brown is left begging President Obama for help with the British Banks. My hope is that the Scottish National Party, SNP, sees all this and comes to it’s senses and embrace the monetary and political philosophy of Scotsman Adam Smith. It will be the only hope for Scotland as an independent nation.

Video project update

 

My adventure in a video project is an eye opener. Why are there a dozen different types of players to here music or video on the web? They all play the video, why can’t we have one player so I do not have to have a dozen icons on my desktop?

So here I am , just a average guy. I want to make a movie and show it to people on the web. How hard can that be? Well just like the music and video players, and sure enough the video camera I bought records in DVD, but will not show up in my video editor. I need to convert it to another format before I can edit it, then convert it to another format before I can show it to you on the web.

I have wrapped my head with duct tape at this point, because when my head explodes, and it will, I will have the pieces to start over.
