Comment to editorial

Most hate and violence comes from the alt-left. You overlook this in your editorial. A lot of hate and violence comes from Black Lies Matter. You overlook this as well. You know that Nazi and KKK protestesters are tiny fringe groups but you imply President Trump and the majority of the white population are just as guilty. Your editorial is biased crap.

Bloomington author favors North Korea

I posted this commentary in response to a letter in the Bloomington paper blaming America for the North Korean problem:

The author said: "Since 1953, the North Korean people have endured privation, hunger and Spartan militarism, to hang tough for the imminent American attack." Mr. Thom shows no understanding of the regime, just a pathological dislike of American policies. In a sense there are no "North Korean people". The "people" only exist to serve the dictator for his personal comfort and safety. To this end, the dictator will abuse, starve and sacrifice millions of his citizens. The son of the previous dictator, he uses Orwellian methods to control the people including state control of media, omnipresent propaganda, arrest of dissidents and a vast prison system of political prisoners. This is the regime Mr. Thom is enamored with and wants to protect from evil America.

Politics of Envy

“You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich. 
You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. 
You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.
You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down.
You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred.
You cannot build character and courage by taking away men's initiative and independence.
You cannot help men permanently by doing for them, what they could and should do for themselves.”
― Abraham Lincoln

The Americans With No Abilities Act (ANAA)

President Barack Obama and the Democratic Senate are considering
sweeping legislation that will provide new benefits for many more Americans. The Americans With No Abilities Act is being hailed as a major legislative goal by advocates of the millions of Americans who lack any real skills or ambition.

"Roughly 50 percent of Americans do not possess the competence and drive necessary to carve out a meaningful role for themselves in society," said California Sen. Barbara Boxer. "We can no longer stand by and allow People of Inability (POI) to be ridiculed and passed over. With this legislation, employers will no longer be able to grant special favors to a small group of workers, simply because they have some idea of what they are doing."

In a Capitol Hill press conference, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid pointed to the success of the U.S. Postal Service, which has a long-standing policy of providing opportunity without regard to performance. At the state government level, the Department of Motor Vehicles also has an excellent record
of hiring Persons with No Ability (63 percent).

Under the Americans With No Abilities Act, more than 25 million mid-level positions will be created, with important-sounding titles but little real responsibility, thus providing an illusory sense of purpose and performance.

Mandatory non-performance-based raises and promotions will be given to guarantee upward mobility for even the most unremarkable employees. The legislation provides substantial tax breaks to corporations that promote a significant number of Persons of Inability (POI) into middle-management positions, and give a tax credit to small and medium-sized businesses that agree to hire one clueless worker for every two talented hires.

Finally, the Americans With No Abilities Act contains tough new measures to make it more difficult to discriminate against the non-abled, banning, for example, discriminatory interview questions such as, "Do you have any skills or experience that relate to this job?"

"As a non-abled person, I can't be expected to keep up with people who have something going for them," said Mary Lou Gertz, who lost her position as a lug-nut twister at the GM plant in Flint, Mich., due to her inability to remember righty tighty, lefty loosey. "This new law should be real good for people like me. I'll finally have
job security." With the passage of this bill, Gertz and millions of other untalented citizens will finally see a light at the end
of the tunnel.

Said Sen. Dick Durbin,II: "As a senator with no abilities, I believe the same privileges that elected officials enjoy ought to be extended to every American with no abilities. It is our duty as lawmakers to provide each and every American citizen, regardless of his or her inadequacy, with some sort of space to take up in this great
nation and a good salary for doing so." 

This message was approved by Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Diane Feinstein, Barbara Boxer, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid and Barack Obama.

 

Obama needs a time out

From a story about a Tea-Party gathering in Bloomington:

A tiny blond-haired toddler in a madras skirt and pink Mary Janes clutching her father’s hand sported a T-shirt that read, “Obama and Pelosi need a time out.

Five Mexican generals

To stop illegals coming across our border and save a lot of money at the same time:

Divide the border into 5 districts. Create 5 escrow bank accounts of $2mil each. Offer each of these to a Mexican general with one condition. For each illegal we catch on our side we subtract $10k from the relevant district account. The Generals can get the balance in the accounts after 2 years, Then we do it again.
(Heard some Texas radio personality say this.)

Bush as Hitler?

In the January 29 H-T we were subjected to yet another hysterical rant against our president and, by extension, our country. Kevin Haggerty’s column is so venomous and so beyond reason it is absurd. He tells us President Bush is in the same league as Hitler, Stalin and Pol Pot. Where does the H-T find these screeching and preaching left wingers? Why give him a column to spew such hate filled rhetoric? In Iraq we are trying to create a free and democratic society. Do we get credit for these intentions? No…we are told our president is a Hitler. Mr. Haggerty is the type of writer the H-T seems to attract that can find nothing good about our country. Now is a time when anti-American propaganda is common in the world, put out by our enemies and even some of our so-called friends. Too many people are ready and anxious to believe anything bad about the USA. The Iranian parliament ends its sessions by chanting “death to America”. Chavez, the Castro-wannabe in Venezuela, says America is a terrorist state and the most evil country in the world. Is this where Mr. Haggerty gets his ideas?
