The Profound Ignorance of the Whoopie Goldbergs’ “HARPYISM” on THE VIEW

My television time does NOT include The View.    Unfortunately, from curiosity  arising from my innate human  male drive to problem-solve,  I ‘stop by’ the show occasionally  to monitor these lady-lefty ’pilgrim’s progress’.    Barbara Walters is at least as old as I am and has  had  many facial alterations  in her life’s experiences.    She can still  recognize her  though,   by her voice. 

She is Harpy-in-Queen of the show.

The View is a collection of lefty  Harpies’ noisemaking on some kind of stage to persuade their American television audiences of their social and political  importance.  It is very likely watched primarily by Harpies and other Democrats and Socialist-Marxists  who oppose thinking in a ratiional manner.      Think of the show  as   professional wrestling of  female mouths rather than  male bodies .

It is very clear by their performances they enjoy their work, feel good about their noises, and rejoice at their artful skills in sharing their profound ignorance with all of the Harpies, male and female, on the other side of the television screen.

Nevertheless,  Whoopie Goldberg seems to be the real  Queen Harpy…..charming,  loudest, most hysterical, most noticeable (usually  the only American black on stage  besides being the loudest), usually the biggest, most physically active, and   the most likely to skip out off the stage in a snit  if in some way offended or doesn’t get her Harpie way.

Like so many of life’s Harpies,  Whoopie has a profound advantage while performing on stage.  She has been a professional movie actress.   She  is poorly educated and therefore impervious to the stupidities of the noises she utters.   Worse, for those who seek truth but are given Whoopienoise, I think she is   the most likeable among the Harpies on stage.   Being winsome can be dangeroous.

Dennis Prager quoted Harpy Goldberg during the opening minutes of his radio show this morning, Central Standard Time.   The Visit Harpy pundits were chirping about the death of the North Korean Marxist dictator, Kim Jong Il.

Ms. Goldberg’s most profound comment about the killer of  millions of men and women, Marxist,  Kim Jong Il,  the guy who  morphed  his  nation  into a prison camp  for most of  the rest  of the NorthKorean population,    was:

“COMMUNISM IS A GREAT CONCEPT  ON PAPER, BUT ONCE YOU PUT A HUMAN BEING IN POWER, IT’S NUTS!  ……and, the trump card of Harpyland  verbal delivery,  the substite hostess declared:  HE DIDN’T HAVE A LOT OF COMPASSION!”

I do watch a lot of “I  Survived” on cable  television.  I am not fond of fiction when there is true life available.  “Investigation Discovery”  is another favorite.  

The vast majority of horror-causing villains  on these and other true crime shows  are  human males.    The majority of their  female victims died because they didn’t notice their killers ”didn’t have a lot of compassion”.

Despite Harpie propaganda, the human FEMALE  is NOT the equal of  the human  MALE.    One is born to  nurse, the other to kill!…..one to seduce, and the other to enforce.     Civilization is the ultimate school  by which  these instincts have been ”humanized”   to allow for this animal to become learned and civil.   

A culture in decay is usually murdered or commits suicide.    A culture of  peace and harmony, seeking learnings and fortune  expand and grow MUST defend its interests  or it begins to rot. 

Our civilization seems to be in decay.

American Harpies, such as Queen Whoopie Goldberg, ignore another vital aspect of the survival of any living entity  on Earth………it must reproduce itself or die!     Higher up on the animal complexity scale  it  means EACH ANIMAL SPECIES  must  PEACEFULLY  COMPETE WITH OR FIGHT ONES ENEMIES or PERISH.    Strength  both mental and physical,  aids survival.

If a specimen White Oak is enterring its 200th year of life  anywhere on EARTH,  it has been king of its territory for about its  last 150 years, by luck of location, good fortune, and  its  genetic material programmed by Nature or Nature’s God.     The shade it casts is a killer for countless competing vegetation  ’enemies’.

What Harpies and other American Lefties  don’t understand about life is ALL LIVING MATTER   struggles  for survival.   Jeffersonian democracy in America appears to be in retreat.     It is under attack and poorly defended. 

Marxist communism doesn’t even pan out on paper.    It’s goal, Obama’s goal, is to make people be equal.   Even in our business, landscape gardening, that which is equally small therefore equally large……that which is equally taoo is equally short.     That which is equally ugly is equally beautiful.

It is the variety caused by unequality in life that makes life vibrant and progressive…..or regressive, if   Marxists like Barack Hussein Obama, foreign to America’s personality drive to consolidate enought POWER to make people equal.

If the Whoopies of America would read, they would discover that history”on paper” and in fact, proves Marxism doesn’t work.   Marxism (or communism)  doesn’t work, because it’s thesis opposes the very nature of the beast, MAN.   Even in the mammoth prison camp called the ‘Peoples’ Republic of Korea’, one of the most repressive societies ever concocted by MAN, Nature is at work to destroy EQUALITY’S AUTHORITY.   Man’s drive to compete and oppress  further or become free is still  under state control, but it is only a matter of time  man’s  desire for LIBERTY will explode.

Time has already taken its toll on American democracy.   It’s religious  and educational cathedrals have become occupied by Marxist dreamers, racists, and plotters.     The students they teach, as if in Islamic madrassas, are reduced to 1984 Newspeak  glorifying  the same imprisonment of mind and body, whether militant Islam or Obama Marxism.

  “Compassionate”  Obama Marxism seems to  be  indeed, on the rise.     Harpies, both female and male, vote and vote without the understanding required to keep liberty alive.   Their profound ignorance, amassed through the nation’s schools and press, and advertised by all of the Whoopie Goldbergs  on television are windows into the state of the empty American mind.

John Hinderaker on OUR DEAR LEADER, OBAMA’s….”I’M with THE GREATEST!

Obama Places Himself on the Continuum of Greatness

by John Hinderaker    at   PowerLine

“There was an initially-overlooked moment in President Obama’s recent interview with 60 Minutes. Excerpts from the interview were played on television, and CBS posted the interview in its entirety on its web site. Left on the cutting-room floor, it turned out, was a revealing moment when Obama judged himself against the greats of past eras:

The “60 Minutes Overtime” video shows Obama telling correspondent Steve Kroft:

“The issue here is not going be a list of accomplishments. As you said yourself, Steve, you know, I would put our legislative and foreign policy accomplishments in our first two years against any president — with the possible exceptions of Johnson, F.D.R., and Lincoln — just in terms of what we’ve gotten done in modern history. But, you know, but when it comes to the economy, we’ve got a lot more work to do.”

So Obama thinks his record so far–nearly three years, not just two–stacks up favorably against any president with the “possible exceptions” of Lyndon Johnson, FDR, and Abraham Lincoln. The man is simply delusional. This is a game one could play for a long time, but let’s just compare President Obama’s record in his first three years (almost) in office with that of Ronald Reagan over the same time. Reagan inherited a worse crisis than Obama: interest rates and inflation at unprecedented levels; our national defenses in a state of near collapse, with the Soviet Union advancing aggressively around the world; recession, high unemployment and a stratospheric cost of living. His solutions to these problems, of course, were quite different from Obama’s approach. Let’s compare how they did.

    Unemployment

President Reagan took office in January 1981 with unemployment at 7.5%. As of December 1983–nearly three years into his term–unemployment was at 8.3%. But by that time, unemployment was dropping fast as a result of the rapidly growing economy. By the summer of 1984, it was down to 5.4%.

President Obama took office in January 2009 with unemployment at almost exactly the same level, 7.6%. As of December 2011, it is 8.6%–a worse performance than Reagan’s, although not greatly so. The difference is that in 1983, Reagan had in place pro-growth policies that were quickly putting people back to work. No one thinks that, with Obama’s anti-growth bias dominating the federal government, unemployment will drop to anywhere near 5.4% in the next six or seven months.

    Economic Growth

President Reagan inherited a slow- or no-growth economy from Jimmy Carter. It didn’t take long for Reagan’s pro-growth policies to turn things around. Between 1980 and 1983, America’s GDP increased by 27%. That is the reason, of course, for the plummeting unemployment rate.

President Obama, on the other hand, hasn’t been able to get economic growth moving at all. To be fair, he hasn’t tried to do so, so his failure may be intentional. Over the same period of time in which GDP increased 27% under President Reagan, it has risen by only 2% under President Obama–less than one-thirteenth the rate of growth.

    Inflation

It is hard to imagine if you didn’t live through it, but at the beginning of 1981, most people thought that inflation posed a bigger threat to America’s future than its 8.3% unemployment rate. President Reagan inherited that problem because of the lax monetary policies of the Carter administration. The inflation rate was a stunning 13.58 in Carter’s last year. Reagan fixed it faster than anyone had thought possible, through monetarist policies. By December 1983–the equivalent of where we are now in the Obama administration–the inflation rate had dropped all the way down to 3.8%, stunning accomplishment that was foreseen by almost no one, other than President Reagan and Milton Friedman.

Times are different now. President Obama assumed office at a time of zero inflation and fears of deflation. One can, however, compare changes in the cost of living in the two eras; specifically, the cost of gasoline. President Reagan came to the presidency at a time when there was a severe shortage of oil. Cars would line up at gas stations, sometimes for hours, and it was widely predicted that the world was running out of oil and we would have to transition to “green” energy. Stop me if you’ve heard this one before. President Reagan removed the foolish price controls on oil that had been imposed by Jimmy Carter, and the price of energy almost immediately began to plummet. Sure enough: when President Reagan took office, the price of a gallon of gasoline at the pump was $1.25 (much more in today’s dollars). By April 1986, the price of gas had dropped 34%, to $.82. The Democrats of the time were so ignorant of economics that they predicted that lifting price controls would cause the price of gasoline to skyrocket!

When Barack Obama became president in January 2009, there was no energy crisis in progress. The price of gasoline was a manageable $1.83 at the pump. Usually, when gas prices rise it is because the economy is booming and demand for energy therefore increases. During the Obama administration, the economy has cratered and gas prices have risen anyway–a double whammy that many would have believed impossible until they saw how Obama’s “green” cronyism suppressed energy development. Thus, while Reagan’s policies led to a 34% decline in the price of gasoline at the pump, by December 2011 the average price was up to $3.29, an 80% increase in the price of gas, even though the economy was in the tank, and recoverable gasoline in the ground was more plentiful than at any time in world history! One wonders whether any other administration could have produced such an inept result.

This is, as I said, a game that one could play for a long time–compare Barack Obama’s first three years in office with those of other presidents. Obama has repeatedly shown himself to be ignorant of history, so his claim to be the fourth best president, thus far into his term–giving the benefit of the doubt to Abe Lincoln, FDR and Lyndon Johnson–can best be forgiven. The man has no idea what he is talking about. Those who have time to spare could do some research and do a similar comparison of Obama’s “achievements” with those of Ulysses Grant, William McKinley, Calvin Coolidge, Dwight Eisenhower and George W. Bush, to name just a few.”

Allen West…..A Star that shines through a Cloudy Sky…..for VEEP?

West to Holder:

It’s not about your color,

it’s about your competence

 by Tina Korbe    at HotAir

“Attorney General Eric Holder told The New York Times this weekend that “the more extreme segment” of his Fast and Furious critics are motivated by — you guessed it — racism. But Florida Rep. Allen West will have none of it.

In remarks to The Daily Caller, West interpreted Holder’s shameless rhetorical tactic as a sign of desperation — and called him out for his non-race-related incompetence:

“I think this is absolutely the last card in the deck, and that shows how weak their ground is,” West said in a phone interview. “But, what that means is they want to make white individuals afraid of continuing to put the pressure on Eric Holder because they don’t want to be seen as racist, and that is something that we have got to move beyond.”

West said Holder can’t logically assign race as a motivation behind the criticisms for his handling of Operation Fast and Furious. “What Fast and Furious has to do with is misleading the Congress and the American people about what you knew about this program, and if you did not know anything about this program, then who’s in charge of the Department of Justice?” West said. “It has nothing to do with your race — it has everything to do with competence, with your character and with your ability to lead the Department of Justice.”

West said Holder’s use of race as a way to attack his critics is “the most insidious thing I ever heard.”

“I grew up in the United States military and it’s not about your color, it’s about your competence, it’s about your abilities to execute a mission,” West said. “If your commanding officer turns heat on you, it’s because you have failed to achieve the mission and I think what we’re doing is we’re looking at something that was a very horrible program — this Operation Fast and Furious.”

It’s not about your color, it’s about your competence. What a great lesson for us all!

That Holder himself wanted to introduce race to this equation — that he was the first to bring it up as a possible motivating factor behind the investigations into Fast and Furious and the 60 congressional calls for his resignation — suggests he’s afraid to be judged by his competence alone. That shows Holder at least has some kind of clue. After all, that he can provide no explanation as to how he came to preside — with or without knowledge — over an operation that resulted in the deaths of hundreds of Mexicans and U.S. Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry doesn’t make a good case against calls for his resignation.”

THE CURSE OF SOCIALIZED MEDICINE EXPOSED

The Ugly Realities Of Socialized Medicine

Are Not Going Away

Sally Pipes    at    Forbes

The worldwide recession has forced countries around the world to curb public spending — or risk defaulting on their debt.

The United Kingdom is the latest to tighten its belt. The National Health Service (NHS) — the centralized public agency that runs Britain’s government healthcare system — is being forced to shave $31 billion from its budget by 2015.

These cuts are leading to a precipitous drop in the quality of care patients receive. The NHS has been living well beyond its means for quite awhile. And now brutal government-enforced cost controls are exacting a heavy human toll.

Thanks to Obamacare, America will soon face the same sort of reckoning.

Other nations with government-dominated healthcare systems offer a preview of the fiscal woes and substandard care that lie ahead thanks to the president’s spendthrift reform plan.

In order to realize some savings, the NHS is raising the threshold at which patients qualify for treatment and lengthening wait times for surgeries determined “non-lifesaving.” The Service is also cutting more than 20,000 NHS jobs over the next two years and shuttering a number of hospitals.

Patients are feeling the pain. For decades, they’ve turned over substantial portions of their hard-earned paychecks as taxes — and accepted “free”

health care from the government in return. Only about 11 percent of Britons pay for their care privately.

They’ve foregone cutting-edge medical treatments available in the United States, told by their leaders that these new therapies were no better than the old ones — just more expensive. At least in Britain, they thought, everyone has access to basic health care. That has to be better than the situation in America, where tens of millions of people lack health insurance, right?

Hardly. The British healthcare system may “guarantee” access to care — but that doesn’t mean patients actually receive it.

Take the case of David Evans, a 69-year-old farmer living in Cornwall, in southwest England. About a year ago, he developed a hernia and needed an operation. Despite government requirements that he receive treatment within 18 weeks of diagnosis, he still hasn’t been treated.

Recently, he had to use his own ultrasound equipment — typically used to examine pregnant sheep — to check the hernia himself and determine if it was getting worse.

“I was in quite a lot of pain,” explained Evans. “There will be many more people like me who are suffering and are now being forced to wait quite a long time.”

The law furnishes all Britons — Evans included — with health insurance. But he might as well not have coverage at all — because he’s certainly not getting any care.

A report released in October by Britain’s health regulator found that a stunning 20 percent of hospitals were failing to provide the minimum standard of care legally required for elderly patients.

As part of the study, inspectors dropped by dozens of hospitals unannounced. They found patients shouting or banging on bedrails desperately trying to get the attention of a nurse. At one hospital, inspectors identified bed-ridden patients that hadn’t been given water for over 10 hours.

The upcoming austerity measures will only amplify maladies like these.

The NHS is broken — and not in some superficial way that a simple tweak would fix. The incentives are wrong. The government’s main priority is keeping costs low — not providing quality care. Patients can’t choose how they receive their care — it’s one-size-fits-all medicine. And the entrenched NHS bureaucracy has no reason to improve efficiency.

The problems with “universal” health care aren’t confined to Britain. Canada’s single-payer, government-run system — where any private health care is outlawed under the Canada Health Act — is similarly failing its patients.

The Health Council of Canada recently surveyed over three thousand patients and found that those with chronic illnesses like high blood pressure or heart disease were largely dissatisfied with the medical care they received. Less than half of respondents with such conditions reported that the care they received was excellent or very good.

“MUHAMMED HAD A THING ABOUT LITTLE GIRLS’ ….. CENSORED IN AUSTRIA!

……AND  Elisabeth Sabaditsch-Wolff ,  THE  GAL WHO  DARED TO MAKE THIS STATEMENT  WAS CONVICTED OF COMMITTING A CRIME  AGAINST ISLAM, A LEGALLY ESTABLISHED RELIGION!

from the Gates of Vienna:

“As reported in the live-blog earlier today, the high-court judge in Vienna actually quoted an authoritative hadith in the courtroom: “Muhammad’s wife Aisha entered the marriage at age 6, which was consummated at the age of 9.” He then acknowledged that the passage was already public knowledge, and thus repeating it could not be punishable under the law.

He upheld Elisabeth’s conviction, however, based on a somewhat peculiar interpretation of Austrian law: to say “Mohammed had a thing for little girls” is an “excess of opinion” that cannot be tolerated. It constitutes ridicule, and is not justifiable.

An interesting and useful corollary can be derived from today’s ruling: it is now completely legal to quote in public the authoritative hadith about Mohammed’s sex acts with a nine-year-old girl. A precedent was established today — at least in Austria.

The judge’s decision gave one of our Austrian contacts a brilliant idea: rent space on a billboard and blazon that (legally acceptable) statement in four-foot-high letters where everyone in Vienna can read it!

With that notion in mind, I took the liberty of placing the relevant virtual text on an existing billboard in the city of Vienna:

Vienna billboard, English
“Muhammad’s wife Aisha entered the marriage at age 6, which was consummated at the age of 9.”— Higher Court of Vienna, decision Dec 20, 2011″

Comment:   So you think we have trouble with some Marxist judges here in the good old USA!   NATIONAL ISLAM AND MARXISM CANNOT SURVIVE WITHOUT CENSORSHIP UNDER  GOVERNMENT CONTROL WHETHER IN THE COURTS OR THE PRESS.

Never forget, dear readers,  that  Barack Hussein Obama is a POWER-TO-THE-STATE MARXIST by training…..by education.  His government takeover of the American health industry,  and the establishment of Czar governing agencies to by pass Congress, and  the  unchecked power given to the EPA should give even the mass of mindless Americans some hint that this is not a full blooded American politicking for re-election.

“THE BIGGER THE GOVERNMENT, THE SMALLER THE PEOPLE”….. DENNIS PRAGER

OUR DEAR LEADER SPEAKS! ………MY Accomplishments are the GREATEST!

…….(during MY first two years,  EXCEPT FOR FDR, LBJ, AND, MAYBE LINCOLN!

             but  CBS CENSORS OUR DEAR LEADER’S STATEMENTS!!!

FROM POLITICO:      “The president’s claim didn’t air in the show’s Dec. 11 television broadcast but was included in the full interview video that CBS posted on its website that day.

The “60 Minutes Overtime” video shows Obama telling correspondent Steve Kroft:

“The issue here is not going be a list of accomplishments. As you said yourself, Steve, you know, I would put our legislative and foreign policy accomplishments in our first two years against any president — with the possible exceptions of Johnson, F.D.R., and Lincoln — just in terms of what we’ve gotten done in modern history. But, you know, but when it comes to the economy, we’ve got a lot more work to do.”

NewsBusters pounced on the comments with a story under the headline: “60 Minutes broadcast edits out laughable Obama claim as 4th best president.”

“Eh! No big deal. Barack Obama is better…at least in his own mind. Such was the laughably absurd claim of President Obama on 60 Minutes last Sunday. What? You didn’t see it? That was because 60 Minutes conveniently left it out of its broadcast,” P.J. Gladnick wrote.

He continued, “So kneel, all you presidential peons, before the greatness that is Obama. His radiance shines so bright that it dazzled Steve Kroft to the extent that he didn’t even bother to ask an obvious follow-up question.”

Big Journalism headlined its story: “Selective Editing: CBS News Omits Embarrassing Obama Boast from TV Interview.”

And the Blaze’s Madeleine Morgenstern also berated the president’s remarks, writing that he “essentially declared himself the fourth best president in terms of his accomplishments.”

While the president didn’t quite go that far, Gateway Pundit’s Jim Hoft also joined the tune of the other bloggers on Monday.

“You have got to be kidding. … After destroying the American economy, tripling the national deficit, blowing a trillion dollars on a failed stimulus plan and nearly doubling the unemployment rate, Barack Obama told “60 Minutes” last week that he considered himself the 4th best president in US history. Unbelievable. (Is this guy out to lunch or what?),” Hoft wrote.

Scott Paulson, the Examiner’s “conservative examiner,” concluded that Obama has “a much higher opinion of his accomplishments than most Americans have of him.”

Gingrich has received his share of criticism for tooting his own horn on the campaign trail, once crediting himself for having “helped lead the effort to defeat communism.”

Kevin Tedesco, executive director of “60 Minutes,” told POLITICO in an email: “We don’t discuss our editorial process but we made the entire interview available to all on our webcast, 60Minutes, Overtime, Where it has been for nine days.”
