Making a Virtue of Selfishness

   While listening to Obama's closing arguments, one can hear his answer answer to the accusations that he is a socialist: Republicans want to make a virtue of selfishness.  Perhaps it's worth observing that many people who will vote for him pay no federal taxes; indeed, they are and will be further subsidized by an Obama administration.  This in itself seems selfish on their part.  
   In fact, Obama hasn't given nearly as much as he is planning to take for those who have done well in America.  On this point, I'd love to ask him only one question: "On the 1040, assuming that's the tax form you fill out, the IRS allows you to make a 'donation' - have you ever made a donation, since you think the government needs more money?"
   Inasmuch as we can guess his answer, we see that the real indictment of Republicans is clear: that they want to make a virtue of merit, hardwork, and choosing how spend one's own resources.

Bill Ayers & Intellectual Honesty

Last night, Hannity and Colmes was graced by the presence of a professor named Caroline Heldman.  Like many of her ilk, she is a lefty who apologizes for Barack Obama.  While this state of affairs isn't anything newsworthy, I realized something as she condescendingly smirked at Michael Steele's comments.  She's coward - her and many of her academic, good-time buddies.
 
Three Observations. 
1: few - if any - of these pinheads have ever lived out their philosophy except their in little academic bubble where results are obscured by tenure.  They hide behind a lectern from which they are safe from almost any consequence of their ideas. 
 
2: If they really believe that America is foundationally unjust because of its economic structure and political institutions, they shouldn't work for any institution that is funded by people who are wealthy because of the existing 'social institutions' and economic 'superstructure'.  Indeed, such well-to-do people are exactly who sends their children to such places as Occidental and other elite, private schools.
 
3: Were she, or any other socialistic academic - to live out their ideas, what would such a life look like?  Enter Billy-boy Ayers.  He lived out his ideas through 'direct-action' against the 'establishment', he tried to bring down his enemies through blood and violence.  Since those days, he's sold-out too.  But, he was one of the few who followed these ideas out to their logical conclusions.  If Caroline and her ilk weren't so busy hiding behind a certificats and podiums, she'd get out there and do what her code commands of her!
