Egalitariat
The Art of Having Everything Both Ways
When two baseball teams step onto a field of play, they are equal. The score is 0-0. At the end of the game (designed to measure competence, skill, and ability) we usually find out that they are not equal. In fact, we are dissappointed if they are equal. So one team shows up with only 5 players or all their players but they are ill equipped, or they are simply physically much smaller, or they are decked out in brand new equipment, they are all body builders and models for the magazines but they haven't trained one day. Ideally the score board is the ultimate judge. The role and effort of the umpire is to ensure equal opportunity, but the Liberal wants to insure the score is equal. I'm using the baseball team analogy to illustrate that this is entirely a result of the feminization of America, because when you enter your kid in Little League these days, the trophies mean nothing. NOTHING!! Why? Because they hand out trophies to every player of both teams, win or loose, participate or bench warm, to keep from hurting the little folks' feelings.
Thomas Sowell refers to this as single stage thinking. The Liberal rarely asks, "What happens next?" Right now, not hurting the children's feelings seems good so it must be good. But this does not prepare the youth for the realities of the world. Success is rewarded and failure is not UNLESS you are dependent on a benevolent government bureaucracy where the opposite is true, including our state run school system. To the extent a school is failing, government sends more money, to the extent the school is succeeding that money is then taken away with the result of subsidizing failure. If little Johnny and Bobby learn the lessons of success and failure at this stage of their lives they will strive to prepare for the challenges they know life brings. But that is second stage thinking.
Business operates on the principal that products and services are not all equal. Neither are the providers of these products and services all equal. Some services and products are better than others even though they compete in the same markets. The better product can command a better price and often commands the entire market until another competitor begins producing a still better product or service. Because of this competition, products and services improve or fail and prices are reduced or kept to a minimum. Because of this competition, producers and servers win and loose and their financial backers win and loose. Losers move on to different markets or improve. The greatest percentage of people are employed under this system. Opportunity is afforded the greatest percentage of people to succeed and prosper and of course, their is no equality. The egalitarian would enforce an equal reward for all the producers and servers eliminating any incentive to produce or serve better or cheaper and the entire market system suffers to the point of failure. Products and services become unmarketable or rare.
Now, with second stage thinking missing from the institutions of higher learning including the most esteemed campus' in the nation since the 60's, I declare we are seeing the reduction of 1st stage thinking to the level of the cult classic movie, 'Idiocracy" This movie represented a time in our future when TV and technology keeps everybody preoccupied with entertainment and uninterested in work or learning or even relating with others. The result being that nobody knew or cared that crops could not be grown with their most popular sports drink. The government had bought a contract with the drink manufacturer to supply their irrigation pipes. "You have to use water!" "You mean, like in the toilet?"
Hoo wood a thot we se a day wen kids dint se wy thay haf ta no how ta spale, inyways? O' dat yud b shamd ta admitt U study fo skool? Jus yus a kakulater. U don' haf ta no dem times tabels o how ta devide. Do you think I'm exaggerating? I think I've cleaned it up too much! Have you read an IM lately? Check out the Twitterers twittering away over at Twitter.com. Our culture is NOT bleeding away. It has bled out. The youth are being carried away with every breeze of fad and fancy. I am living in the Twilight Zone of American exceptionalism. Everything America worked for and accomplished, bled and died for, is now being ridiculed by the modern Liberal as imperialism, greed, and the rape of natural resources. We haven't defended the rights of the individual in America and especially not in foreign nations, we've forced our way of life on them. We haven't brought wealth to other cultures and nations, we've raped their resources. We haven't raised the standard of living and the standard of morality, we've destroyed their heritage. Everything we've invested in foreign cultures including blood and wealth has paid huge dividends in the final analysis. We've made some whopper mistakes and we, not anybody else, have corrected those mistakes.
Lets invest a little effort right now and engage in second stage thinking. What happens next? What happens when little Bobby and Johnny grow up to be 18 only to find out that they don't get a trophy or a paycheck for warming the bench or loosing the sale or throwing tape balls across the warehouse instead of getting the shipment ready? What happens when not one graduating student from Los Angeles central can do long form division and is looking for a job with a local company? What happens when every foreign government in the world agrees with the modern Liberal that America is an imperialist power raping other nations' resources? What happens when Chavez is able to set up another despotist government in his neighborhood? What happens when civil rights are exaggerated to the point that a terrorist can't be incarcerated for his part in terrorism? What happens when Ahmadenijad is launching his nuclear arsenal at the U.S. and Israel? What happens when Muslim immigrants establish Sharia in sections of U.S. cities? What happens when every student in every classroom gets an A+ irregardless of ability or accomplishment? What happens when there no longer is any measure of morality or judgment? What happens when we've reduced our nuclear arsenal from the ability to destroy the world 100 times over to 55 times over? Does the world enter an ignorant Utopian bliss or does the world break out into nuclear holocaust starting with N. Korea or Iran and spreading to Israel, Russia, and the U.S?
America doesn't loose. People, individuals loose. America is a great piece of dirt and the origin and realization of an ideal. The culture that developed freedom and government for the people and by the people, dies. What fills the gap is the far more common form of government, despots, kings, emperors, a true democracy resembling Chairman Mao's regime. Anything but freedom and liberty making a land of opportunity. Anything but egalitarian life. Anything but Utopia. Proverbs 2, seek knowledge, chase wisdom, she is more valuable than fine gold, she is to be more cherished than rare gems. In our highest institutions of learning we are teaching the next generation to hate judgment, wisdom, discretion, and values. The only value held is that we all suffer equally. And suffer we shall. Remove opportunity to exceed, succeed, be rewarded for our effort, or control the rewards we have worked so hard for and the incentive to exceed, succeed, or be rewarded will suffocate. Suffering will increase exponentially without incentives to work and produce and invent. But that is Barak Obama's and the Liberal fascists' idea of Utopia or Obama's subterfuge to hide his literal path along Hitler's stroll into fascist control of the state. In the words of Dennis Prager, "The Liberal will kill the good in search of the perfect and the result will be a Mouist or Hitlerian regime in America." The Czars of Russia were terrible but the Communists were far worse. The Emperors of China were horrible, but the Chairmanship of Mou was far worse. The corrupt presidents of Cuba were hard, but Fidel Castro has been a nightmare, the Shah of Iran was a pitiful excuse of a national leader but the Mullahs are far worse.
Matthew Henry's commentary:
Proverbs 1:10-19
Wicked people are zealous in seducing others into the paths of the destroyer: sinners love company in sin. But they have so much the more to answer for. How cautious young people should be! "Consent thou not." Do not say as they say, nor do as they do, or would have thee to do; have no fellowship with them. Who could think that it should be a pleasure to one man to destroy another! See their idea of worldly wealth; but it is neither substance, nor precious. It is the ruinous mistake of thousands, that they overvalue the wealth of this world. Men promise themselves in vain that sin will turn to their advantage. The way of sin is down-hill; men cannot stop themselves. Would young people shun temporal and eternal ruin, let them refuse to take one step in these destructive paths. Men's greediness of gain hurries them upon practices which will not suffer them or others to live out half their days. What is a man profited, though he gain the world, if he lose his life? much less if he lose his soul?

In my last post, Zo (Alfonzo Rachel) from ZoNation of PJTV compared the Obama Liberals to the Hilter Liberals and Sparky clarified that the Hitlerian principals were born in the U.S. in the 1900's and that Hitler campaigned on the word "CHANGE" and that the press had physical manifestations of adoration for him and that Hitler moved fast to nationalize the banks and manufacturing industries. Barak Obama is working every bit as fast as Hitler was to bring about a fascist government. Only you can stop him. Only by rejecting his moves toward government control of private industry, his moves toward government buying the banking industry, his moves toward buying popularity via the vast handouts, his moves toward population control, his moves toward supporting despotism in foreign affairs, his moves toward socializing health care, etc., can we bring his fascistization of America to a dead stop. A fascist government in the name of helping people will result in our own Fuhrer, Chairman, or Supreme Leader. Stop him now before he has opportunity to burn the Constitution and dissolve or puppeteer the Supreme Court and the Congress. Dissolve his popularity and deflate his power balloon. March in the street, carry your signs and chant your anti-fascist slogans, write and call your elected officials. Make the facts known everywhere you go.
You can't make the scoreboard always reflect a score of 0-0 especially in the arenas of production and services otherwise known as the marketplace or we will literally have nothing and will actually lose everything. You can't make the loser's score match the winners score by falsely rewarding to an equal level of the successful without devaluing the reward of the successful. Barak is doing just that to the tune of 10's of trillions of dollars by borrowing or printing it up and taxing the successful and taxing the merely employed until the reward will mean nothing, the money will hold no value at all so that we will experience 1930's Germany's hyper-inflation. A bale of cash for a gallon of milk or gas or a loaf of bread. That's why equality over liberty is so deadly to any person, state, nation, or culture and that is why America and the grand experiment have been so successful. We were never interested in the results of our efforts being equal, but have always been concerned with equal opportunity for rewards of our efforts. There have been great failures in this endeavor and there likely will be many more great failures, but the greatest failure of our grand experiment would be to quit the experiment altogether. Quitting literally means reversing the opportunity for rewards to redistribute those rewards to make the score; the rewards, equal as they were under every communist regime at the outset. Somehow all that gets flushed down the toilet as soon as the new power class is established. We are greedy and self interested by default. By default there will always be disparity between the classes and by default, there will always be classes. The difference the grand experiment made was to provide these opportunities to one and all.

I want my children's children to know the joys of growing up in a God fearing God loving country that I grew up in. Without the constitution that ensures that, it will not happen, and I see this constitutinn devalued day by day.
How sad for me to think of what Obama and his liberals seem to have in mind for our descendants. How sad.!!!!
I heard EVERY word.
Thanks,
SL
I liked your analogy of the baseball team. It's funny that Americans, even the liberal & uninvolved, can see that an equal outcome is not right when applied to sports or their favorite team. They rank players, have "fantasy" teams, and side-line coach, without any second thought to the fact that this competition is what makes all teams better! But put it out in the real world...YOU must work harder, faster, smarter, better than your competition to succeed, and suddenly it's not fair!
Leadership in our country?
Below, part of what was in my daily study:
_____________________________________________
In life, everyone is a leader as well as a follower, depending on the circumstance. Amos shows that a leader should never be complacent and content with the way things are because pride follows—and shortly after it, a fall (Proverbs 16:18). Leaders of nations bear a great responsibility because, if they allow morals to collapse, all their military prowess and vaunted technology will not save them. Above all else, the first consideration of a leader is to be moral.
The fact is you self-stroking hypocrites would be easily surpassed by just about every other minority on your silly rock if you didn't pull out every stop to subjugate and oppress them. America's superiority was born out of insatiable greed -- a desire for power so immense things like compassion and accord had to be thrown by the wayside. And you're proud of it.
Sweet Lilith's lipstick! Do we ever LOVE the Religious Right!
Do we ever LOVE the Religious Right!
This comes from HelloLegion who has the GALL to say 'you take scriptures out of context'
Well, the Word of God is a double edge sword, dear girl, sharp, and cuts through to the bone and marrow- why don't you TRY to see things in the CENTER for a change we can believe in, instead of the AGENDA only politics, Start thinking about AMERICANS, Hello, instead of just 'minorities' most of who HATE this nation, which you reside in so bitterly....

HelloDEVIL is also not seeing the OBVIOUS racism that is directed at WHITE people now- and we are FINISHED with the race card, you're not, but WE ARE.
We were ALL 'minorities' once, most of us, and we didnt act with such CONTEMPT as you do- you are a person filled with animosity, directed at what America WAS, I hope you are happy that you have turned it into a 3rd world-cespool that you are STILL crying about.
"Compassion?" Well, well, isn't THAT the pot calling the kettle black.
YOUR OWN HYPOCRISY knows NO bounds..
You mother and father didnt discipline you enough as a child, and now you hate authority, which is why you LOVE Obama. He is also a reprobate, like yourself, and he REFUSES to obey his EMPLOYER:
WE THE PEOPLE.
