As A Libertarian, I Can Confirm That I Hate Democracy

This is an accusation that is often flug at Libertarians. Instead of denying it, I can confirm that it is absolutely TRUE. Fact is, I do agree with James Madison's view of Democracy, which is that "it is the most vile form of government".

And of course he's correct in that the inevitable results of pure democracy are mob-rule, socialism, plunder, subjugation of the minority, and a total abandonment of the non-aggression principle (sometimes leading to war or genocide). I mean, just look at Zimbabwe and South Africa for starters. Fucking hellholes!!

Me, I would MUCH prefer a benevolent dictatorship lead by a coalition of the uber-wealthy elites, perhaps with Gary Johnson serving as a figurehead. "King Gary" or "Emperor for life Johnson" sounds a HELL of a lot better to me than President Hillary Clinton (*shudder*)

BTW, as far as our new dictator's "benevolence" goes, I only mean there would be no mass murdering in the oligarchy. Unlike socialist dictatorships, under which the State usually kills millions. Directly. Indirect deaths (those due to starvation) would likely be similar. Or perhaps even greater. Due to our new oligarchic overlords abolishing ALL welfare.

The result being that millions of worthless Takers would (given their refusal to work) bite it. Or, as Ayn Rand said (in regards to the poor man) "If he does not choose to live, nature will take its course". Ha ha ha ha! Perfect!

If that utopia ever came about? It would SURELY cause me great joy to hear the news of the day. Because the top story would likely be a report on how bodies of worthless poor people were collected and incinerated that day. Of course it wouldn't go on for too long. Sooner or later the US would purged of it's parasite infestation. And that would be a day to par-tay! Emperor Johnson would likely declare a national holiday.

The Darkest Period in Human History?

Yeah, I'm gonna go with the FDR presidency. Under this tyrant the top tax rate on our beloved wealthy Makers was increased to a mind-boggling 94%. This asshole even had the gall to suggest that rich folks should pay 100% after earning 350k (in today's dollars)! Which is obviously peanuts. Enough for a middle class loser to get by on, but clearly not enough for a worthy rich man to live in style. I mean, you've got to have enough to pay your servants.

As a runner up "darkest period" I'm going with when the gorgeous, delightful, and talented Polly Pergen left "To Tell the Truth" in 1961 and was replaced by the dumpy, acerbic, and difficult to watch Peggy Cass. What a fat uggo! IMO only good looking women should be allowed on TV. I'm even opposed to having uggos in "character" rolls. "Character actor" being code for unpleasant in appearance. Only men should be character actors, I think. I mean, why subject your audience's eyes to unnecessary pain?

The brightest period in human history? It might surprise you, but my selection is the years 1346 to 1353. This would be peak years of the Black Death. The Black Death being "one of the most devastating pandemics in human history". The disease swept Europe, killing an estimated 75 to 200 million people, or 30–60% of Europe's total population.

So, why do I consider this to be a "bright" period? Because (as I pointed out in a prior commentary) the Black Death raised the standard of living of many survivors who inherited estates from the plague's victims. Not that I necessarily care about the living standard of worthless poors. No, but that millions of these parasites were exterminated is a "good" that would surely have made Ayn Rand smile.

Rand would absolutely agree that poors going to an early grave when there is an overabundance of them is a positive, and definitely something that should happen at least once in awhile. I mean, we want their numbers to be high enough so that the price of labor is low, but not so high that they consume too much resources (think a plague of locusts).

There is also the possibility that, if they become too numerous and if their living conditions become too horrid (especially compared to their wealthy superiors) they could rise up. The execution of the Romanov family being but one historical example of a revolution of the lower classes leading to the deaths of superior wealthy people.

Something that might have happened under FDR if the wealthy individuals that the tyrant FDR plundered had resisted, given the fact that (ultimately) the theft of money from rich people (in the form of taxes) is extracted via the barrel of a gun.

Which is pretty fucked in the head if you ask me, given that the wealthy earned their money via entrepreneurship, ingenuity, vision, and risk-taking through a series of voluntary associations. Yet they're the criminals if they don't pay this protection money.

We Should Be Squeezing Blood From The Turnips! Lazy Mooching Poors Pay Way Too Little In Taxes!

The fact is that, even when you account for payroll, excise, and other taxes, the bottom quintile of American taxpayers only pay 1.8% of their income to the Feds (Source). Yeah, that asshole Bernie tends to gloss over this fact (if in fact he even knows about it). Big surprise, huh?

BTW, don't look at that link I provided above, because if you do, you'll read some facts that don't jibe with my narrative. Which is that some taxpayers have it easy (freeloaders mooching off the system), while others (the Makers) unfairly pay most of the taxes (they are the hosts to the parasitical leeches in the bottom quintile).

Inconvenient to my narrative would be the fact that "the payroll tax is regressive (the effective rate falls as income rises): it claimed an average of 8.2 percent of income from tax units in the lowest quintile but only 6.8 percent from the top quintile; for the top 1 percent, the tax averaged just 0.9 percent of income".

And the Tax Policy Center (the source I initially cited) also notes that "a key insight from economics is that taxes are not always borne by the individual or business that writes the check to the IRS. Sometimes taxes are shifted. For example, most economists believe that the employer portion of payroll taxes translate into lower wages and are thus ultimately borne by workers".

SUPER inconvenient to my Libertarian narrative would be that "there is not a consensus, however, on the economic incidence of other taxes, such as the corporate income tax". Inconvenient because I'm for the elimination of all corporate taxes, because such taxes are passed along to the consumer! Or so the brain dead Libertarian talking point goes. As you can see the TPC says "wait a minute" in regards to that one!

Then there is also the fact that "in 2011, households in the top, middle, and bottom quintiles received 52, 14, and 5 percent of the nation's before-tax income, respectively". So, the bottom quintile is only paying 1.8%, but they are only making 5% of all the income that's earned.

Regardless, I say that (if taxes are to be paid AT ALL, and I'm of the opinion that all taxation is theft) we should squeeze these turnips until they bleed. Tax them til they squeal. Because if someone has to pay (for the government to function), then I say it should be the worthless Takers. As opposed to the worthy Makers.

Let the rich man keep what he's earned. Time for the free ride the poor leeches have been enjoying for so long (at the rich man's expense) to end! Ayn Rand would absolutely agree.

Will Our Next President Be Gary Johnson?

So, here we are, actually on the verge of having to watch two of the most low-ball jamming and distrusted politicians in the country (Clinton and Trump) defecate on each other for the next five months in what is bound to be one of the most rancid presidential races in U.S. history?!

More and more I'm beginning to think that this existence thing of ours isn't actual but rather some virtual reality, hologram, dream, or video game. 'Cause I ask you here, what sane and cogent civilization would act like this? IT MAKES NO SENSE. Maybe we're participants in a game being played by the super-intelligent AI robots?

And, yes, I'm begging you, at least consider throwing away your vote on Gary Johnson, whose honesty, integrity, competence, sanity, and dedication to our beloved oligarchs we cannot question (at least not to this ludicrous level).

So, while I previously said that Johnson would probably have to kill somebody for me to not vote for him again, now I'm thinking that I'd vote for Johnson even if he out and out murdered someone. Heck, I'd still vote for Johnson even if we were to find out that he was a serial killer who pranced about in the nude wearing nothing but his victim's skin (in the privacy of his own home).

One thing I would not do, however, would be to write in the name "Les Carpenter" (AKA Lester Nation, the former proprietor of this blog). That guy is an asshole.

BTW, if Donald Trump were to be wise enough to select Gary Johnson as his VP, I'd vote for Donald in a heartbeat. Although I think Gary might say no if Donald asked him. However, IMO, Donald Trump might not be that bad. Also, at the end of Trump's 8 years in office Gary could run and win as POTUS (given the fact that a VP going on to become president isn't unprecedented).

On the other hand, the nation might just decide that neither Trump nor Clinton are fit for the presidency and decide to send Gary Johnson (a high-ball jammer) to the White House! Causing me (as well as others who worship the plutocrats) to jump for joy! Unfortunately, that seems unlikely, what with Miss Clinton going after the Bernie voters by offering to give away boatloads of other people's money. Not quite as much as Comrade Sanders wanted to give away, but still a LOT.

So, will Gary Johnson be our next president? Maybe not. A factor that might help Gary clinch the presidency could be the selection of the right person as his VP. Now, the former proprietor of this blog often suggested that he might be a good VP pick for Johnson. But given the fact that he went from being an anarcho-capitalist Libertarian who worshiped Ayn Rand and who thoroughly despised the Progressive Left to somebody who essentially signs off on every cockamamie Leftist notion under the damned sun? I'm thinking that I would be a MUCH better choice.

Surely Gary Johnson is smart enough to select Willis Hart as his VP. I mean, I wouldn't be surprised in the least if Gary reads this blog and takes pointers from it. And, a Johnson-Hart ticket would almost be a shoe-in, I think. Except for the fact that the voters are quite dumb. I mean, Bernie Sanders almost defeated Hillary Clinton for the Democratic nomination, and he's a Socialist for Christ!

On The Fact The Evolution Is Phony Baloney

The odds of a chimpanzee randomly typing out the word "evolution"? For the sake of simplicity, let's leave out the numbers and punctuation marks. Even after that, the odds are still astronomical; 26 to the 9th power to 1, or 5,429,571,278,976 to 1. And yet this is in essence what the advocates of evolution are asking us to believe, MULTIPLIED BY INFINITY.

Look, I'm not saying that the Bible-thumping creationists are correct, either (with many of them in fact being certifiable), just that maybe we still don't know, that's all. Personally, I think life on earth was created in a lab by super-intelligent AI robots, who then seeded the galaxy. But, hey, I could be wrong.

Anyway, Bible-thumpers are usually Conservative, as I am. So at least they're right on that front. I'm talking about the belief that, if you're a Maker, you should be able to keep 100 percent of YOUR money. By which I mean taxes should be zero. Because they're evil. I mean, the Christian Bible says "thou shalt not steal from the Makers", right? Or some variation. Something "God" and the AI robots that created us are SURELY in agreement on.

That thievery from the Makers is a sin. Stealing from poor people, however? It doesn't count. Because what we're really talking about is exploiting. And a rich man exploiting a poor man to further enrich himself is just the way the world works. Because it's the way it's SUPPOSED to work. Read Ayn Rand if you don't believe me. Social justice warriors are worse than Nazis. And are going to end up in "hell" for their sins (if such a place exists).

On Why I'm A Climate Change Skeptic

It is a fact that A) the earth's climate Is a chaotic system and B) because of that any attempt at predicting the weather hundreds of years into the future is a fool's errand on steroids.

And yet our fascistic and moronic politicians continue to think otherwise, spout ridiculous claims (that 97% of scientists agree with their views, that CO2 is the primary driver of temperature, that we already possess the technology to significantly decarbonize, etc.), and proclaim that they can control the climate through such idiotic initiatives as cap and trade, a carbon tax, green energy boondoggles, etc. How utterly embarrassing.

Although some might say that the embarrassment should be felt by deniers such as myself. If I were to be completely honest, I'd have to admit that deniers like me are huge liars and totally full of shit. For example, I pulled the typical denier fast one by conflating weather and climate. Then I lied about the fact that 97% of climate scientists agree that human activity is a significant contributing factor in changing mean global temperatures.

As for decarbonizing, certainly there is technology that currently exists that could make some significant progress toward this goal. The purpose of referring to green energy projects as a "boondoggles" is to STOP further progress toward decarbonization. Personally, I'm a big fan of dirty fossil fuels. They are there, and it would be foolish of our plutocrats to leave big profits on the table.

What's more important, folks; saving our planet or further enriching our beloved oligarchs? Obviously, as a Conservative, I'm for the latter and NOT the former. Actually, if hundreds of millions of worthless poor people die... that would be awesome IMO. Remember that the Black Death, which "reduced world population from an estimated 450 million to between 350 and 375 million in the 14th century", had POSITIVE benefits.

...the Black Death raised the standard of living of many survivors who inherited estates from the plague's victims. One sign of this was that peasant families, who, before the plague, were so poor that they sat at the dinner table on a common bench and ate from a common plate, now had individual stools and plates. This higher standard of living would lead to a more even wealth distribution and the recovery of the economy after 1450. (The Black Death and its Impact. c.1300-1450).

Now, one might think that, as a Libertarian, I'd be strongly opposed to "a more even wealth distribution", but what we saw following the Black Death was that those in extreme poverty were raised up to a poverty level that was moderate. Sure, millions will die due to the coming climate catastrophe, most of those will be among the world's poorest. But among those who survive there still will be many who are extremely poor (as most of the population of the world is quite poor).

What I'm saying is that I'm fine with a more even wealth distribution among the poor of the world. The plutocrats will be able to hold onto what is theirs and even increase their wealth when the apocalypse comes (apocalypse in the eyes of those the poor, MANY of which will be exterminated, mostly due to flooding and famine).

BTW, as for the poors being "exterminated", I use that word because surely poor people are a plague upon the world (my view as an Ayn Rand-worshipping Libertarian). Those of us who remain will all be in a better off position (at least in the long term). Which is why I WELCOME the coming climate change catastrophes.

And why I lie about those trying to stop them as being "ridiculous". The world needs a good Randian fumigation to rid the world of the parasites. Moochers like the greedy Bernie voters who think they deserve what the wealthy man has worked hard for. Or worked hard to steal by exploiting workers (as is their right). I'll be applauding when these assholes start starving/dying en masse.

JFK Was A Fiscally Conservative Republican (Just Like MLK)

Was John Fitzgerald Kennedy a fan of Ayn Rand? I don't know. But if he were alive today I'm positive he would be a Libertarian. For his time the facts show that he was a conservative Democrat that could have run as a Republican. This conclusion due to the fact that he warned us about the dangers of big government, AKA "Leviathan".

"As the responsibilities of government become enlarged, there has been a corresponding assumption of authority by the state. It is obvious from the history of the past twenty years that whether we like it or not, whether we be Republicans or Democrats, the government will continue to play an increasingly large part in our lives. The theme of today - the scarlet thread that runs throughout all of the thoughts and actions of people all over the world - is one of resignation of great problems to the all-absorbing hands of the great Leviathan - the state. The trend is not divisible. We in the United States suffer from it, if less intensely". (10/18/1949. From a speech before the Miami Junior Chamber of Commerce). And two months later at the University of Notre Dame, this conclusion: "It is therefore vital that we become concerned with maintaining the authority of the people, of the individual, over the state".

Inspiring words and, yes, light-years different from the statist bull-crap currently emanating from Sanders and even Hillary now. So, you still think that only the Republicans have changed?

As for Martin Luther King Jr... he actually was a Republican. Yeah, I'm sure that, in response to my assertions, many Democrats will say that I'm with those on the Right who are trying to co-opt these figures because they're popular. And, since efforts to sully their reputations have largely failed, attempting to rewrite history and claim they were actually Conservative is a better course of action.

To that I say phooey. Sure, there may be something to these "co-opting" charges, but I say "so what". Personally I think it's a good strategy.

Demonizing Wealthy Makers Is The Religion of Envy At Its Worst

As I have previously stated on my other blog, Contra O'Reilly, I am an agnostic. Although, me not belonging to any organized religion can also be attributed to the fact that I've never happened upon a church that I care for. Most of the "religions" out there focus on kindness toward your fellow man, forced charity, humility, and bullshit like that. Christianity, the dominant religion in American, has a prophet that said "it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of god".

Frankly I find it amazing that Republicans worship this god. I mean, clearly Jesus, the son of the god of envy, is more fitted to the Progressive ideology. Although today Progressives want to confiscate the wealth of productive Makers to distribute to lazy Takers. Jesus at least suggested that the rich man voluntarily give away his wealth so he could enter "heaven".

Progressives want to take that wealth under threat of force. Still, if the wealthy men do not give away their riches they will be denied entry into "heaven". (The fictional) Jesus said it, but Republicans (who do not think Jesus was fictional, even though he was) ignore it.

This is a major reason why I could never join an organized religion. The demonization of the wealthy producers is totally unacceptable to me. Instead of denying the superior wealthy entry into heaven, God should have told his son Jesus that it would be easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is poor to enter the kingdom of God. That is what should be written in that work of fiction known as the Christian Bible.

Because poor people do not deserve unearned rewards in the afterlife. Proof of this is their not earning any rewards in this life. I'm not saying I believe in an afterlife, which I do not, but if there was one and there were rewards to be enjoyed when a person gets there - poor people have clearly not earned them.

But rich people? They obviously have. For example, an extremely wealthy person named John D. Rockefeller a) Started His Career Working in a Small Wholesale Business Earning Less than $4 a Week, b) Through Hard Work, Vision, Tenacity, and Revolutionary Management, Eventually Presided Over One of the Most Successful Companies in Modern History, and c) Engaged in Some of the Most Staggering Levels of Philanthropy Imaginable.

Yet Progressive probably view him as a horrible person. Perhaps he should have gone into politics and passed a shitload of laws instead. Laws that would have made it even more difficult for an individual to achieve success. At least the Republicans got that right. They want to get rid of these laws that punish success.

A religion that doesn't punish success? Ayn Rand's Objectivism. That is a church that I might join... if Objectivists had churches, that is. Which they do not, given that Objectivists do not believe in the afterlife. But it could be thought of as a religion of the here and now, no?

In regards to the image below... this is the man I might say a prayer to before crawling under the covers at night. Correction - I actually have said a prayer to this god of a man. You know, just in case there is an afterlife. Being an agnostic I'm not sure. Jesus and his dad can stuff it. I am not at all interested in gaining entry into the "envy afterlife". But if John D. Rockefeller has taken his rightful place as a god? Well, sign me up for that afterlife! Because Rockefeller's "heaven" would be a meritocracy, which would shut out the lazy jealous Progressive Takers completely.

But Willis Hart? He would totally get in. Sure, I might not be ushered to the front of the line, but there would definitely be a table reserved for the Hartster, given the fact that I am far superior to the majority of you losers.

Lying Lester Dissembles About Fascism

Fascism is typically viewed as a lEftist political and economic system. This is true if lEftist is to mean a strong central government with great influence on and regulation over a nation's economic matters. In other words private ownership of business exists but the government essentially establishes economic policy through over burdensome regulations.

As an adherent of the great philosopher Ayn Rand, this is a view that I share. Even though it is complete BS. Some view conservatives and rEpublicans as drivers of our politics and government in the direction towards fascism, which is a lot closer to the truth. Like Mussolini, rEpublicans want to put business in control by freeing them from "over regulation" and "over taxation".

And by placing the burden of taxation on the lower classes, where it belongs. Anyway, while Lying Lester acknowledges that he STRONGLY desires that the United States go fascist, he will continue to lie (as in the opening paragraph of this commentary) and claim that lEftism leads to fascism.

Because the rAbble fears fascism, even though Lying Lester recognizes that under fascism the deserving wealthy are in charge (as they should be). Although some quack named Dr. Lawrence Britt claims that, when combined with other traits exhibited by fascism, the case can be made that it is conservatives and rEpublicans who are more likely to meet the criteria for fascism.

I call the guy a quack not because he is wrong, but because he may cause some of the rAbble to wake up to the truth. The truth about rEpublicans and fascism, that is. Which, if the dream of bringing fascism to the United States is to be realized, is a truth that must be concealed.

For more on this truth I recommend Dr. Leonard Peikoff's work entitled The Ominous Parallels, a fabulous book on the parallels between Nazi Germany and modern day uSA. Note the book was published in 1982 and supports at least in part Dr. Britt's list of 14 characteristics of fascism.

So, after reading the list by Dr. Britt (and considering what you know about fascism) I thought it would be fun to see how many characteristics of fascism you identify as existing in out political and governmental systems today under the Obama Administration. I suspect not that many, or fewer than under the bush administration.

But associating the lEftist Obama with fascism is, as I pointed out earlier, necessary to frighten the gullible rAbble into voting rEpublican. Or perhaps (and this would be preferable), Libertarian. Because the Libertarians are with the rEpublicans when it comes to putting the wealthy in charge.

Although - and this is where the crucial difference comes in - Libertarians are for getting government out of the way completely. Unlike the rEpublicans politicians, who favor leaving themselves in place as corrupt middlemen (skimming off some of the booty stolen from the people for themselves). That "booty" being money and power.

Libertarians, on the other hand, strongly disagree with the concept of a corrupt political class receiving any of this booty. In the opinion of the Libertarians this booty should go exclusively to our wealthy overlords - and the political class should be eliminated - or "shrunk" so as to eliminate the voice of The People (AKA the rAbble) entirely.

Because, even though under dEmocracy the plutocrats have done a decent job bribing our elected representatives (corrupting most rEpublican and many conservative dEmocrats), there still are some politicians who actually listen to The People and try to do their will.

Obviously this is unacceptable and, while this course may EVENTUALLY lead to fascism, the only way to get their QUICKLY is by going Libertarian (which is the reason this sight supports Gary Johnson for President in 2016). Only then (under Libertarianism) will fascism be brought quickly and completely to the United States.

But back to my noble desire to dissemble on fascism and pin the accusation on lEftist pRogressivism, as my colleague dmarks does over on my other (spoof) blog rAtional nAtion uSA by lying about labor unions.

According to the (2nd) quack I site above, "labor power is suppressed - because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a fascist government [and under fascism] labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed".

dmarks spins this with a reference to Right To Work (RTW) as empowering workers, because Labor Unions are "crushing labor rights by bullying workers into [them] against their will".

Ha, ha, ha. You've got to admire an individual who is willing to tell such audacious and patently absurd lies like dmarks. Because, in all honesty, RTW is designed to kill unions, thus enabling the plutocrats free rain to bully and take advantage of workers. But, as one NAZI fascist said, "If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it".

Spreading the "big lies" that will benefit our wealthy overlords when the rAbble believe them is the objective on my other blog, rAtional nAtion uSA. dmarks buys into one of these big lies concerning Labor. I'd say "hats off" to him in helping spread this lie, but the deluded doofus actually believes the BS he spouts, which is quite sad and pathetic.

But also fortunate, in that even if it is deluded doofuses spreading these Big Lies - as opposed to people who KNOW they are dissembling (people like Lying Lester) - the spreading of these lies will still work to the benefit of our wealthy betters.

The thing to remember is that Blue Dogs (corporate dEms) like Obama should be painted with the fascist brush, because even if a corporate dEmocrat like Obama is in charge, the end result is an empowering of other dEmocrats, including pRogressive dEmocrats, the most dangerous wing of the dEmocratic pArty. Dangerous because they actually listen to The People (AKA the rAbble).

Also remember that pRogressive dEmocrats are the ENEMY. The enemy of hard working Makers like Lying Lester who's only desire is to see the deserving Wealthy come to power and remake (or "fundamentally transform") America by subjugating the rAbble and seizing ALL the power and (most) of the money. Thus fulfilling Ayn Rand's dream. A dream, by the way, that is also Lying Lester's (and the Libertarian Party's) dream.

In closing Lying Lester urges you to vote Libertarian in 2016 when you can (if a Libertarian is on the ballot). In instances when a Libertarian isn't on the ballot vote rEpublican. But whatever you do DO NOT vote for a "fascist" dEmocrat! Even a Corporate dEmocrat.

Lying Lester Has Never Cracked For Al Sharpton And Likely Never Will

Although I have "cracked" while watching the programs of other political pundits, I will admit. I simply have never "cracked" while watching Politics Nation, which is the MSNBC program hosted by the Reverend Al.

Getting "cracked" or "cracking" is getting high on crack, BTW. This is something I like to do at the end of a stressful day to relax and wind down. Light up my crack pipe, that is. And tune my TV into some political punditry program while I get cracked out of my gourd. Just not Sharpton's.

Having said the above I must say I agree with Sharpton's analysis that Senator Rand Paul's efforts to reach out to the black community could hurt the democrats in 2016 should Paul be the eventual nominee. If Senator Paul is sincere, if he convincingly demonstrates his understanding of the black community's concerns and acts accordingly over the next two years he, and the rEpublican sate could be quite formidable.

So long as he doesn't mention his dislike of the provision in Civil Rights legislation that demanded owners of private businesses be prohibited from discriminating based on race. Paul previously said he thought private business owners should be allowed to discriminate if they wish.

That would not be a bad thing. Even racists have rights. But rEpublicans, while they may have had a good track record of pandering to the racists in their ranks, now must begin recognizing the nation's changing demographics and the concerns, aspirations, fears, and the realities this change will bring.

The reality being that the rEpublicans will become a permanent minority party unless responsible fiscal conservatives take the reigns of the party (from the hands of the most virulent Tea Party folks) and give American's of all persuasions multiple reasons to vote FOR them rather than against the dEmocrats.

That, or cheat even more. The issues facing this nation both fiscally and socially are large. Placing the importance of resolving these issues in the best interests of ALL Americans must trump the interests of party and special interests. It is possible Senator Paul knows this, is prepared to set the right tone, believes it is time do the right thing, and will walk the talk. Or at least be prepared to do his best to trick voters into believing he's walking the talk.

Let's hope he is - and that he will. Take the low road of trying to instil fear and lie to the American people to win, that is. Because actually doing what is in the best interests of ALL Americans - instead of just the rich ones - would be a very bad thing.

And also quite unRandian. This is why I, Lying Lester, hope that Rand Paul, a professed devotee of the great Objectivist philosopher Ayn Rand - so much a devotee that he changed his name from "Randal" in her honor - gets with the program and does what is necessary to win the presidency. Which would be him lying his ass off.

Then he might be able to roll back that provision of the Civil Rights legislation he doesn't like so racist business owners can discriminate against whomever they choose. And drastically lower taxes on the oligarchs, of course.

Why Another Great Depression Is Just What Our Country Needs

I'm a big advocate of capitalism. Especially the kind of capitalism that leads to feudalism, or enslavement of the Poors who deserve to be enslaved. That is, in opposition to giving them goodies paid for by hard working taxpayers like you and me.

Under our current system of "regulated" capitalism - "regulated" in name only, given the fact that the regulators have been captured - the result has been the continued shrinkage of the middle class, an increasing number of working Poors, and a pushing of more wealth into the coffers of corporate America and the uber wealthy. All of which has had a very positive effect on the nation. Positive, in that the Wealthy have gotten even wealthier.

Social and economic dislocation is now greater than has seen since the Great Depression. Only now it will likely be worse when the crash happens. When that happens the uber Wealthy will be buying up assets for pennies on the dollar. This is why another GD is something the Wealthy - and those of us like Lying Lester who worship them - pray for. Sooner than later, hopefully.

As I have always said, rational long term self interest should ALWAYS come first. And Lying Lester knows he will be rewarded when full blown oligarchy finally comes to the United States. But apparently more don't understand this concept than do, which explains why many can't fathom why another GD is just what this country needs.

It needs it because then the Poors will be forced into slavery, the Middle Class will be decimated, and the Wealthy will possess just about ALL the wealth instead of only a great majority of it. Thus the Randian utopia will finally come into being.

A Nation Adrift. Drifting In The Right Direction

Voters are disgusted with both parties. Disgusted with rEpublican obstruction and disgusted with dEmocratic inability to overcome the obstruction.

Maggie Haberman of Politico: Time was, a politician with approval numbers well below 50 percent was in deep trouble come Election Day. But in politics, 40 has become the new 50. Last's week election saw a slew of unpopular politicians get elected or reelected despite approval ratings in the mid or even low-40s. It's in part a product of voter disgust with both parties and a race-to-the-bottom political climate, in which both sides nuke their rival early and often and public opinion of Congress and institutions is extremely low. While there have been politicians in the past who have been reelected with weak approval ratings, the spate of tight races with people with a net negative favorable ratings was unusual this cycle. Instead of punishing the candidate who goes negative first, voters have become inured to the idea that both of them will. And approval ratings are no longer a reliable indicator of electability. In "today's politics, the hyper-partisanship and the huge campaign spending, has permanently warped our old understanding of political norms", said Republican pollster Bill McInturff, of Public Opinion Strategies. (11/9/14 AT 11:39 PM EST).

This is good news in that it shows how stupid the rAbble is. Instead of voting for more dEmocrats that would give them the goodies they desire, they vote for rEpublicans who are eager to hasten our country down the road to oligarchy.

And because of this our country drifts closer toward that goal. The Randian goal of continuing to steal the wealth of the Middle Class and transfer it to the uber-wealthy. And enslaving the stupid Poors and paying them low low wages. Then we won't have to outsource to low wage countries, because the US will be a low wage country!

Low wages for the undeserving and HIGH wages for the deserving. Deserving folks like Lying Lester. Hurray!

Lying Lester Announces An End To The LLIN Hiatus

I, Lying Lester, am happy to announce that the temporary LLIN hiatus has ended and LLIN will be "fired up" once again... shortly. I apologizes for the inconvenience or frustration that my absence from the sight may have caused my legion of dedicated and loyal readers.

As for why the hiatus was taken, I won't be going into that... at least for now. I will just say that I was not here blogging on LLIN (but did continue to author commentaries on my other blog rAtional nAtion uSA) for a good reason which is none of your damn business.

I can reveal, however, that for part of the time I was absent I was enjoying myself killing many of this world's lesser creatures... no, not lIberal pRogressives! I refer to creatures slaughtered while hunting. Which is what I was doing (for a portion of the time I was on hiatus).

And, Lying Lester can assure you that there is nothing finer than loading up the SUV with many firearms and other implements of injury - such as sharp knives, brass knuckles, stomping boots, dynamite, etc - and using those weapons to inflict harm on as many denizens of the woodlands as one can locate.

And then, in the evening, returning to the lodge to consume a large quantity of alcoholic beverages. But only in the evening. During the daylight hours Lying Lester stayed sharp and alert - which is necessary when one wishes to execute as many of the subhumans as one can catch.

And, by "subhuman", I mean monkeys. Lying Lester was hunting monkeys in Africa. First, I would trap a simian in some kind of trap. Usually a snare or cage baited with a banana. Next I would shoot the subhuman with a tranq gun. Then I would joyfully administer a brutal beating using my brass knuckles.

This beating would entail breaking both arms and legs, as well as the monkey's jaw. All the while being careful to not kill the simian. Then I would wait for the monkey to wake up before strangling it to death with my bare hands.

Hearing the squeals of agony and witnessing the eyes of one's prey bug out in abject terror before expiration is a thrill most will never experience. Of course I also shot many with my assortment of high-powered rifles from afar. But nothing comes close to eye-to-eye murder. And, chimps, being closely related to humans (DNA-wise) are as close as I have yet to come to killing a human.

Or, killing a human is not something I will admit to here, at least. It does sound like it might be fun. I should mention, however, that the monkey hunting was completely legal. I thought I should inform readers of this less some take exception or think I should be reported and arrested. No, this monkey hunting took place on a private monkey reserve and was therefore 100 percent within the law. That's what the owner of the reserve told me, at least.

And, sure, it was expensive, but well worth it. Even though it cost ol' Lying Lester much of the money he was awarded in the wrongful death suit he filed after the untimely demise of this blog's former proprietor, Lyle Lester. My longtime readers will likely remember that Lyle took over my blogging duties here on LLIN - briefly.

That was before I changed my mind about giving up blogging on LLIN to concentrate all my efforts on RNUSA. Turns out that was a mistake. Or something I regretted, in any case. This I did despite the blogger Octopus demanding that LLIN be shut down. I'm sorry Octo, but my fans need me. Here on LLIN. Sure, I've got fans on RNUSA, but that is my joke blog and those "fans" are actually dupes that I laugh at when they reply to my joke posts thinking they are serious (he he he).

Also I found that, after retiring from LLIN, that I missed discussing the issues SERIOUSLY and being completely honest in my commentaries. One cannot make a joke of everything all the time - or lie all the time... like I do on RNUSA. At least Lying Lester found that he couldn't. Which is why I HAD to return to serious and honest commentary here on LLIN. Although I will absolutely also keep lying to my readers over on RNUSA. That joke is way to good to give up.

So I have decided that both LLIN and RNUSA must continue. In any case, thank you, Lyle, for allowing me to experience something I thought would forever remain a dream. That dream being strangling a monkey to death. A dream that has now been fulfilled. Although poor Lyle had to die for my dream to come true. But my self interest comes first, so while Lyle was a good friend, I would not chose to have him back and alive if I could.

And this is a dream I will be able to relive over and over thanks to the videographer I hired to document the entire trip. Fact is, I'm watching DVD number 23 right now. While watching is not as good as doing, it is still better to have done it once and be able to watch it over and over and over and over... than to have never done it at all.

In this DVD I stalk my prey from afar, closing in slowly. Then I fire my tranquilizer gun. The particular dart loaded into my weapon will incapacitate my primate foe without knocking him out. This is for my safety. As you may have heard, the chimp is many times stronger than the average human.

Although Lying Lester is NOT your average man and therefore any chimp opponent would likely be only a few times stronger than I. Still, I wasn't taking any chances. Once under the influence of the dart, I would attack with a murderous rage. A rage I brought about by imagining the blogger wd.

And it was wd's face that would frequently take the place of the chimp's in my imagination as I crushed the creature's windpipe while it squealed in agony and I laughed maniacally. Then I stomped on the lifeless corpse with my stomping boots. That was before cutting the monkey's heart out, taking a bite out of it (as is customary in hunting). And finally, urinating on the corpse.

This is an excellent method by which one can manage his anger, let me tell you. Those good memories I placed in "the bank", to be drawn upon when needed. Such as when the hated wd deposited more of his crap on my other blog (rAtional nAtion uSA). An offense for which I banned his ass for the 16th time.

Ha ha ha ha ha. This is a little joke between me and wd. I'll ban him for awhile, allow him to return a while later, reject some comments while publishing others, allow one of RNUSA's regulars (dmarks) to abuse him with endless insults, and then finally ban him. Usually after feigning outrage with something wd writes.

Although sometimes the lIberal pRogressive loser actually does make me angry. THAT is when I will remember the monkey with wd's face - and how I crushed the life out of it. Then I will smile.

Because, let me tell you - evil exist in this world. Evil that is so profoundly inexplicable it leaves us numb, incapable of understanding it's twisted, perverted, and tortured existence. Evil that only a devil could perpetuate. Evil that no human being should ever be subjected to. Certainly not an honest (here on LLIN) or joking (on RNUSA) blogger such as myself.

May the bastards like wd burn in hell for their annoyance of blogger like myself by trafficking their BS on humor sights like RNUSA. I was warned by LLIN contributor Will Hart that if I did not ban wd I would regret it, because the devil would "burn me" sooner or later. Turns out he was correct.

I WAS burned. But fortunately I am f*cking heat and flame resistant. In other words I don't give a damn. I don't care. I did not then and I do not now. I was proven to definitely be doing something right (because I set wd off - again). And that knowledge gives me great satisfaction.

Anyway, the dude is a total narcissist who would like to be a Lenin or Stalin if he had the opportunity. As I previously noted, wd would murder many of us if he were able to get into government and set himself up as a dictator! Or order our murders, because he'd be way to chicken to do it himself. But the bloodthirsty wd would definitely order the murder of millions if he was ever in a position to do so.

I'm 100 percent positive of that. Due to his worship of tyrants like those I already mentioned, plus others like Mao. If they're responsible for the murder of millions, they have wd's respect. So long as the murdering was done in the name of setting up a sOcialist sTate.

That is opposed to Libertarians like myself, who simply think Poors should be work for low low wages, and POSSIBLY die due to freezing in the winter, starvation, lack of health care, etc. But I don't think the gOvernment should play any active roll in actually snuffing out their lives, unlike wd. The gOvernment simply should not try to save any of the worthless Takers that would bite it without gOvernment handouts.

But wd dreams of the bodies of myself and other Independent rational-minded people like myself being dumped into mass graves, along with the bodies of ANYONE who opposes the fascist socialist totalitarian sTate he would like to see here in the US. And be in charge of. Not that he wants to do any actual work, being much to lazy. No, he'd be in it just for the killing, as wd is a cold-blooded psychopath.

But also a lily-livered yellow chicken who could never do the murdering himself. He'd just like to watch. Likely on video, safe out of harm's way. Then he'd "redistribute" the wealth of those he had murdered, being sure to keep a sizable portion for himself. Because he's a jealous and pathetic Taker who envies the Makers. Makers like Lying Lester.

For the record, killing monkeys is an entirely different matter. Killing subhumans and killing actual people are not comparable, if that is what you are thinking. In any case, Lying Lester did not steal any property from the monkeys he snuffed the life out of. And that is surely a much worse crime... to steal from productive people in order that lazy people might loaf. People who loaf and think the sTate should pay them to loaf aren't even people according to Ayn Rand. They are akin to parasites like lice.

And allowing a parasitical Taker to die by preventing it from taking is actually the morally right thing to do. It is FAR far worse to steal from productive people so that these parasites might continue their immoral taking. And killing monkeys, which as a HUMAN is my right, is not an "evil" either. There is absolutely nothing wrong at all with a human killing a monkey or any of the world's lesser creatures.

But what wd wants to do? This is a far worse thing. As a lIberal pRogressive wd wants to enable the world's parasites. To encourage their behavior and increase their numbers. And wd is no doubt one of them. Which explains why wd wants kill people. So he can steal their wealth and loaf. He wants to - and likely is - committing the ULTIMATE evil. And he wants to make it WORSE by making our government as "progressive" as possible. Damn him and his ilk!

That said, blog posts on LLIN will commence starting very soon. Either this week or the coming weekend. I'm thinking this post should stand for a day or several in order that people might see that LLIN is once again active. And then this depository for Lying Lester droppings will once again be open for business.

Also, let me add that my many many fans won't have to worry (for awhile, anyway) that I will pull another disappearing act. LLIN is definitely back, and both I and LLIN contributor Willis "I Love Strawmen" Hart will commence authoring the excellent high-quality commentaries that fans of LLIN have come to expect.

By the way, if you, dear reader, happen to not be a fan of LLIN, you may keep that opinion to yourself, because I really couldn't give a FF what you think. Although I seriously doubt that applies to the majority of the people who might read this.

Most people will likely be overjoyed that LLIN has returned. All rational people who agree that the United States dEmocracy should be ended and replaced with an oligarchy of corporations, with the CEOs of these corporations at the helm... those people will be pleased with LLIN's return.

Or so I imagine. Surely the amount of fan mail I receive is testament to this reality. Even though LLIN does not receive many comments, there is a vast audience that reads without commenting. I can assure you of this. Lying Lester would not be dishonest in regards to this truth.

Just as Lying Lester tells the unvarnished truth when it comes to the Poors, the Takers, and the Lazy lIberal pRogressives who voted for Obama in order to get gOvernment handouts. These people are also among those who Lying Lester hates. Although wd is, actually, a member of the "Poors" group. And the "Takers" group. As well as the "lIberal pRogressive" group. This might be why he gets on my nerves so much.

Still, I keep banning him and then allowing him to return (to commenting on rAtional nAtion uSA). Maybe it's because I'm a slow learner. Either that or just too Magnanimous. Or perhaps it's because of the aforementioned joke which has me banning wd only to allow him to return. But only publishing select comments. I imagine that really frustrates wd.

Anyway, in regards to those lIberal pRogressive Taker Poors... luckily they did not turn out during the just concluded midterm election. Thank goodness. A combination of voter apathy, a massive dark money-fueled misinformation campaign, voter suppression, and outright election fraud stopped the Obama-bots from holding the Senate or taking back the House.

Not that taking back the House was a possibility after the rEpublicans gerrymandered the heck out of the districts following the last census. But many of them simply stayed home. The dullards obviously believing that, seeing as Obama was not on the ballot, their goodie-receiving status was secure.

Let us hope - or pray to the ghost of Ayn Rand - that with the rEpublicans fully in control of Congress that some of that goodie-giving can be rolled back. And that the voters will be enthused by what the rEpublicans do during Obama's last two years in office. So enthused that they elect a fiscal Conservative to the White House in 2016. Hopefully Gary Johnson, although Lying Lester might be satisfied with Rand Paul.

Although I only desire enthusiasm from rational fiscal conservatives such as myself. The opposite of enthusiasm for the lIberal pRogressive Takers (LPT). When the rEpublicans resume their work destroying the US economy and environment - this time with the help of bArack oBama the LPT's will despair.

oBama, I've heard might just sign the legislation sent to him by the rEpublican Congress that OKs the Keystone pipeline and the job-destroying Trans-Pacific Partnership trade agreement. And when this happens the lIberal pRogressives will be aghast. And Lying Lester will laugh heartily and smile broadly. Cooperation in regards to these two issues but gOvernment more divided in regards to all else.

Then the disheartened lIberal pRogressives will sit out the 2016 election in disgust that AGAIN another corporate Dem is their only choice. The corporate Dem being Hillary. And I also find it hard to believe that the American people would actually vote for a chick president.

Then, with Hillary not standing a chance due to the Dems not wanting to elect her because of her baggage of corporate dem-ing, Rand Paul can ascend to the Oval Office. Or maybe Gary Johnson. I mean, Gary Johnson is fiscally Conservative and Socially Liberal. Just like Lying Lester.

And just like many of this nation's young people. The youngsters of today realize that what people do in their bedrooms are their own business. And it surely does not hurt Lying Lester if two dudes want to "get it on". Frankly I could care less. It has absolutely nothing to do with my life.

Fact is, I've entertained the notion myself. Getting it on with another dude, that is. Even though Lying Lester is a Manly Ladies Man. Very Manly. SO Manly that I've been with literally hundreds of women... and one man.

But I've already discussed that on this blog. The one time Lying Lester got busy with a man he did not enjoy it. Which is why he went back to "doing" women... exclusively. But still I wonder what I would be like to "do" a certain man... that man being Gary Johnson.

Gary Johnson would be the ONLY Man that Lying Lester would consider swinging the other way for. Although it would please me more if Gary Johnson were elected POTUS. Because Gary embodies the best of Libertarianism, an ideology that says the rich should be allowed to prosper. Because a rising tide lifts all boats.

Yea, you've surely heard that bromide before, right? Do you buy it? If you're one of the dullards the smart Libertarians hope you do. Even though it is complete BS. A rising tide lifts the yachts of the rich while many of the Poors drown.

Which is a good thing. Because as the great Ayn Rand told us, the Poors are parasites and Lice. And parasites and lice need to be exterminated. This is a truth those of us who worship Ayn Rand - as well as our wealthy overlords - know. A truth I expound upon here on LLIN.

And expounding on, and spreading this self evident axiom is what I do here on LLIN. Which is why this blog MUST continue. Because fighting back against those in denial regarding this truth is paramount. Not that the super-wealthy need the help of a lowly blogger like Lying Lester.

But maybe when the New World Order (NWO) is instituted and our wealthy better assume the reigns of power... maybe one of our new rulers - or perhaps an underling of one of these rulers - will recognize that Lying Lester was with them. And then Lying Lester might be granted a position of power.

Lying Lester KNOWS he deserves it. Because he loves the oligarchs. The oligarchs are people who have proven that they are masters of the universe. If they weren't they would not be rich. That they are rich is proof that they should rule.

Just as the Poors being poor is proof that they deserve their sorrowful lot in life. And no handouts or gifts at taxpayer expense. Those of us who actually pay taxes, that is. People who work hard and have talent, like Lying Lester. Which is another reason that why, when the NWO arrives, Lying Lester will undoubtedly ascend to a position of power.

I've clearly earned it. And I clearly deserve it. Not that I have not achieved much to be admired in this life (my life before the NWO)... but somehow I have not risen to the pinnacle of success... a pinnacle Lying Lester deserves to reach.

But heck, even if the NWO is still a ways off, perhaps Lying Lester could reach another pinnacle if he runs for, and is elected to the White House? Either at the head of the ticket, or as Gary Johnson's running mate (in the VP slot). As I have spoken about here on this blog previously, I have seriously considered doing this.

And I still am considering a run for the presidency. That is, if Gary Johnson does not throw his hat in the ring (a third time). But perhaps Gary would consider Lying Lester as a running mate in 2016? Surely a Johnson/Nation ticket would garner a fair percentage of the vote (more than Gary running with someone else), but would it be enough for us to take the White House?

A deluded Lying Lester is thinking it just might. Surely the ladies would swoon and cast their ballots in favor of Lying Lester, if for no other reason than to get a hunk in the executive mansion (we all know the ladies act on eMotion and not reason).

And Lying Lester has been quite vocal in his vocalizing his thoughts about Gary not being that shabby in the looks department either (a manly Man that Lying Lester might go for *IF* he were gay). I even started another blog titled Gary Johnson is Dreamy to discuss my thoughts on Gary Johnson's manly physique.

Although I stopped updating that blog even before I took my hiatus here. The reason is that I was preparing for my wrongful death lawsuit against the skydiving company that this blog's former proprietor hired.

As readers of this blog know, Lyle plummeted to his death after jumping out of an airplane at 30 thousand feet - and his parachute failed to open. Because he improperly packed it. But the skydiving company should have taught him better and/or checked his work. Which is why, as the man appointed executor of Lyle's estate in his Will, decided to sue.

Which I did. And WON! This is how I was able to afford my trip to Africa and the monkey hunt. Killing monkeys is very expensive and I ended up a few million dollars poorer as a result. Although it was well worth the expense, IMO.

Although I did not spend all the money I was awarded in the settlement. I still have a few million left. Money that could be spent running for POUTUS. Or for VP. Which is why I held on to this money. To use it to "bribe" Gary Johnson into accepting me as his VP. Although when Gary discovered how much alike we think I'm sure he'd be 200 percent in favor of Lying Lester joining the ticket.

But I might need the money to get in the door. But after I did Gary Johnson would absolutely be satisfied that I would be an EXCELLENT choice for VP. Indeed the Johnson/Nation ticket might be the most handsome/manly duo of Iron Men ever to seek the presidency. Can you think of any other past presidents and VPs as handsome/manly as Gary and Lester? I doubt it.

Then, after Gary served out his two terms... then the time would be right for a Lying Lester presidency. At that point - after the most successful presidency in US history (that of Gary Johnson) - Lying Lester would be a shoe in for POTUS in 2024.

A Man can dream, can't he? A dream for his beloved Gary Johnson, for himself, and for America. Or for the worthy Makers, who would prosper wildly under a Johnson (and then a Nation) administration. Realistically speaking, however, a vote for Gary or me is a complete waste (you'd be throwing your vote away). Still, I urge you to consider casting such a vote.

And, if the names "Gary Johnson" and/or "Lester Nation" aren't on your ballot when you go to the polls in 2016? Then you might consider writing us in. Or vote Gary if he's on the ballot and write in "Lester Nation" for VP. Or write in "Lester Nation" for President if Gary Johnson decides not to run.

If nothing else, you'll be sending a signal to the man that you're sick of business as usual and REJECT the sTatist direction our country has been headed in under BOTH rEpublicans and dEmocrats. Also, who knows? If enough people cast their ballots using objectivity and reason to decide who they think should be POTUS - instead of voting for the lesser of two evils you could vote for the greater of three evils.

If so, then surely it is possible that, come 2024, we might be inaugurating a handsome debonair goateed POTUS. Or a a handsome debonair goateed VP. Me, that is. I have a goatee.

Even if this is unlikely. But (in my deluded and slightly senile mind) it COULD happen. And then we could get about the work of restoring America to its former glory. Lying Lester imagines something along the lines of a new Gilded Age, except instead of growing real wages for wOrkers, all the prosperity could be siphoned off by those at the top (as they have been doing, only under Lying Lester the siphoning would be greater).

That is my dream, in any case. Perhaps you share it? If so... well then, you already know what to do. Don't vote rEpublican and don't vote dEmocrat. Vote Libertarian. Vote Gary and vote Lester and together we can shrink gOvernment and hand over the rule of our nation to the wealthy (put things right, in other words).

But even if none of that comes to pass - Lying Lester running for either POTUS or VP, much less being elected to either office - I shall continue to blog about it here on this blog. "It" being my strong desire for the wealthy to throw off the yoke of democracy and reshape aMerica into an oligarchy.

But before we get there a transitionary period will be needed. A transition that has already begun. As I already noted, this last midterm was the most expensive in history! What that was a sign of is the efforts of our wealthy to buy the election.

But they should not have to buy elections because our government should be absolutely powerless and not worth buying. That is the next step. Neutering the government so it cannot do sh*t. That is a process that I believe that would BEST be undertaken by a president Gary Johnson.

Or maybe a president Rand Paul. But Rand would be my second choice. Gary Johnson, I am convinced, would be the ideal ruler to bring Ayn Rand's vision to fruition in America. As you may know, it has been almost thirty years after Ayn Rand's death and she remains as controversial today as she did during her lifetime.

Rand - best known for her epic novels The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged, which defined her individualism, ethics, and politics - was born in Russia under the bolshevik regime of terror escaped to America when she was a young women in her twenties. Having witnessed first hand the life sapping evils of pRogressive collectivism, Rand became one of the 20th century's strongest advocate of liberty, self reliance, capitalism and oligarchy.

Ayn Rand believed Aristotle was one of, if not the greatest philosopher the world has ever known. In her view Aristotelian logic trumped the philosophies of Hegel, Kant, Engels, Marx, and a host of lesser known philosophers. Plainly put Rand believed logic and reason trumped emotionalism and or mysticism. A is A therefore A cannot be B. Something is what it is and therefore cannot be something else.

From her springboard of Aristotelian logic Rand developed her unique and non contradictory philosophy she named Objectivism. A dry read, as most books on philosophy are, it is however well worth the effort for those who have an interest in philosophy and believe Kant and Marx got it wrong.

Rand's interest were far reaching and she wrote {as well as spoke} much on subjects such as ethics, racism, altruism, fascism, collectivism, socialism, atheism, rational self interest, productive achievement, welfare, self reliance, capitalism... the list goes on and on.

A good start for those who have little knowledge of Rand is to read The Ayn Rand Lexicon. It give a good, as well as brief overview on how she viewed concepts.

Rand, while having hundred of thousands who advocated her views, had as many, and perhaps more detractors. While the "you love Rand or you hate Rand" phenomenon encompasses a number of reasons perhaps the most notable are: 1) her atheism, 2) those in the progressive movement, aka academia worked to undermine any objective understanding of her views, 3) her fierce individualism, 4) her bold and vocal denunciation of any and all forms of collectivism, 4) her belief that man should work on behalf of his own rational self interest, 5) that a person should not sacrifice a higher value to a lessor value, 6) that altruism is a means to ultimately destroy the importance of the self, and 7) her staunch advocacy of true capitalism as opposed to socialism or the mixed capitalism the U.S has labored under for the past 120 years or so.

This last belief is primarily why Ayn Rand is as controversial today as she was during her lifetime. Virtually nobody wishes to bring this kind of fascism to America. No one except Objectivist adherents such as myself. Only wise souls like Lying Lester realize the wizdumb of allowing the wealthy to prosper at the expense of the rest of us.

However, if one takes note of just the seven reasons highlighted above it is relatively easy to understand why people reject Ayn Rand. Simply put, her ideas were, and remain yet today, feared by pRogressives, collectivists, mixed market advocates, and modern conservatives and businessmen as well as any other group that believes The People (AKA the rAbble) should have any power or even be allowed to enjoy more than a subsistence survival.

Objectivist Libertarians like myself realize that the far reaching hands of a gOvernment serving The People will provide them with "special favors" so that they may survive - when NO organization representing The People should exist - at least in any form that has any real power.

Anyone who properly understands and practices Objectivist philosophy has concern for their own rational self interest, sees themselves as an individual possessing a strong sense of self, and believes self reliance and naked greed are the highest virtues. Therefore they will have no need for a sTatist government to insure their well being and success. Be it pRogressive, collectivist, fascist, or any other form of liberty sapping social engineering Leviathan.

In short they cannot be emotionally, intellectually, or physically controlled by another individual, or a group of thugs. Although these Objectivist philosophers do realize that weaker-willed individuals - losers who adhere to the nonsense that has us helping each other - SHOULD be controlled and exploited by them. The wealthy and therefore deserving people.

People who understand the preceding also live with the knowledge that liberty and freedom demands great personal responsibility. Which is... To respect the liberty and freedoms of all other worthy individuals while asking nothing from them in return other than to respond in kind. And exploit those beneath us.

As Rand would say, and I paraphrase... The only justification for the use of force is in response to the acts of an aggressor. To which I add, whether they be acts of physical but not financial aggression. The "financial aggression" is an aggression the Poors should lie down and take (and that is the ONLY thing they should take).

Rand, were she alive today would be appalled by what she would suffer to witness. As much as she was opposed to Leviathan socialist collectivist government she would be equally as appalled by the crony capitalism, corporatism, pull peddling lobbyists, and Wall Street thieves suckling with great delight at the government's teat.

Although she would realize it is a means to an end. Eventually this will all lead to the oligarchy we all desire. But then it can be dispensed with and the gOvernment dismantled. What amazes, and I am quite certain Ayn Rand would agree - is what once was a nation built on hard work, self reliance, personal responsibility, innovative ideas, an attitude of government get out of the way and let the competent doers get to work innovating and producing - has turned into a nation of wimps and whiners.

A montage if you will of individuals and groups that EXPECT a gOvernment that represents them. And favors them, subsidies them, and offers them special protections. In a nutshell to insure they succeed in whatever it is they do, or don't do.

Perhaps most puzzling is the fact that only the rich ought to be the ones holding Ayn Rand's philosophy and ethics up as examples of how one should lead their lives. The reason they don't is quite rudimentary. Conservative and Libertarians are really only interested in control. Control over your lives and your livelihood. Such power is the only thing that will satisfies the Conservative/Libertarian insatiable power lust.

Which of course explains the progressives cultist obsession with destroying Ayn Rand the person as well as her philosophy. Instead of rule by the rich they believe in a rule of "we the people". This Ayn Rand - and those who agree with her - reject.

Anyone, feel free to disagree with some or all I have written. By all means indulge in taking me to task and ask I support further that which I have written. It shall be a delight to do so. For you see, I am tired of the pRogressives blowing smoke up everyone's a*ses by taking snippets of Rand's writings, quoting them out of context, and then twisting her words to support their fallacious accusations with respect to her character and works.

By the same token I am equally as puzzled by rEpublicans and so-called conservatives holding Rand up as a shining example, without understanding her philosophy, to support that which they are selling as the flavor of the month big government remedy (one Mittens Romney comes to mind} for our nation's ills. I've got news for ya buckos, Rand is on record as being just as vehemently opposed to your brand of sTatism as she was to socialism and collectivism.

Oligarcy is the only way to go. In the mind of Rand and in the mind of the higher-ordered individuals who agree with her and seek to perpetuate her legacy. Higher-ordered individuals like Lying Lester.

Which is why I started the LLIN sight and why I've now returned. If you're like me and agree that aMerica's destiny is a Randian utopian oligarchy - I look forward to your comments and continuing support. You and I are among the smart folks who will benefit when the New World Order arrives and our superiority is acknowledged.

However, until that day comes I shall continue advocating the wizdumb of Rand here on this blog. And possibly running for either POTUS or VP - however unlikely that might be. But keep reading and I'll let my loyal followers know first, HERE, if I actually do decide to run for the White House.

In which case I think another monkey hunt will be one of the first orders of business. At taxpayer expense, this time. Now that I think of it, the office of VP is more appealing, as the VP doesn't do anything, and is therefore free to do whatever the hell he wants most of the time. Things like hunting monkeys.

Even *if* the public finds such activities distasteful. I'll tell them to shove it. President Gary will be busy transforming aMerica into a oligarchy. And the closer we get the less the views of the rAbble will matter. Which is how Lying Lester could get "elected" to the White House in 2024.

And then the real work of dismantling government might begin. Or the end of dEmocracy might come about in a different manner. A manner that does not involve Lying Lester. Although Lying Lester would be PROUD to play such a role... if possible.

Anyway... to wrap up this slightly over-long rant... the LLIN hiatus is over and LLIN is "fired up" once again.

Why Lying Lester is FAR Superior to You

Lying Lester is superior to the rAbble because he is an Objectivist. Objectivism is a Religion based on the writings of the great Ayn Rand and further developed by her designated intellectual heir, philosopher Leonard Peikoff.

Because Objectivists such as myself examine the world with complete objectivity, we are never wrong. And obviously someone who is never wrong is far superior to those who's decision making processes are based on irrational emotions.

This is why YOU - if you are not a worshipper in the church of Objectivism - are INFERIOR to Lying Lester. Now, I'm sure that if you are not an Objectivist, you just took offense to that correct assertion. And your emotions are probably all riled up.

But that is the problem, you see (or you don't see, which is most likely the case). Lying Lester, while he was born a normal human male, has learned to set his emotions aside and decide things using pure objectivity only. Or perhaps I was not born a normal human male, as most human males - nay, most people operate on a largely emotional level.

But, it seems people like Lying Lester have evolved to a point where we realize that objectivity is the ONLY way to arrive at rational decisions. Maybe it is something in our DNA that makes us realize this when most do not?

Not being a brain scientist, I cannot say. But I do know that objectivity (and being an Objectivist) are sure signs of being superior.

And I, as an Objectivist, realize that Lying Lester is the most important person in the world. And I realize that I need to look out for numero uno at all times. If something does not benefit me personally, then I am against it. And as long as I've got mine, then I surely do not give a shit about anyone else.

The emotion-based inferiors say this is "selfishness" and that selfishness is "bad". Ayn Rand realized that selfishness is GOOD. Indeed, she declared it (rightly) to be a virtue and labeled it "rational self interest".

So, if some Poors starve to death (or simply live miserable lives) due to the rich folks grabbing more wealth (and resources) then they need? Well, Lying Lester says that is A-OK with him. It's the natural order of things, in fact.

Those of us who are superior tend to be able to do a better job of accumulating wealth than those who are inferior. In fact, I'd argue that a person being wealthy is one of the ways in which we are able to identify those who are superior.

And, instead of taxing and redistributing their wealth in the name of "fairness", Lying Lester strongly believes (nay, he KNOWS) that it is better for a poor person to die (or MANY poor people to die) than to allow this kind of theft to occur!

There is always charity. If a superior rich person feels the eMotion of cOmpassion, let that rich person VOLUNTARILY donate some of their wealth to a charity that will see to it that less Poors die.

Although I personally see this as a weakness. And quite foolish as well, as extermination would be a better course of action for these Takers. But if any rich person wants to exhibit this weakness that is fine by Lying Lester, as I support freedom (for a rich person) to do with their wealth as they see fit, even if they choose (wrongly) to encourage parasitic behavior.

But it is another thing entirely for the gOvernment to STEAL from those who are superior to give to the inferior Takers. That, I am 100 percent opposed to. Although YOU, if you are not an Objectivist (but instead an emotion-based inferior), probably disagree.

But this is just another example of how I, Lying Lester, am superior to you. Disagree if you wish (and I'm sure you do), but that does not change the FACT that I'm better than you.

PEW Research Says Republian Optimism Regarding The 2014 Midterms Is Warranted

With just over two months left until the 2014 midterm elections rEpublians remain optimistic while democrats are decidedly more pessimistic. Given the present national landscape and world turmoil it is not surprising nor unexpected.

The present national landscape being the fact that oBama is a lazy BLACK president. Coincidentally conforming to a racist stereotype dating back to the days of slavery. And the public rAbble is in agreement that the situation in Iraq with the followers of the false prophet mOhamed (ISIS) being 100 percent oBama's fault.

Due to his laziness. The American people surely have had enough of oBama's laziness and will vote in rEpublians to obstruct some more. That way even less will be certain to be accomplished during oBama's final years in office, for which oBama can be blamed. Then, the gullible rAbble will be sure to elect the White Male rEpublian nominee for POTUS in 2016. Or maybe Gary Johnson?

Anywho, American will realize it made a mistake by electing a lazy Black "man" (and I use the term loosely). No way they're going to make the same mistake twice. Or a similar one.

The dEmocrats are banking on the rAbble being fooled into thinking that 2016 is the right "time" to elect a woman POTUS... which makes Lying Lester laugh. Because, as we all know, a woman can't be president. Or shouldn't want to be, at least. That is according to Ayn Rand. A woman. So you know such sentiment can't be misogynist, just like my TRUTHFUL report concerning our BLACK pResident's laziness isn't racist.

Yes, not racist nor misogynist, just bullplop designed to fool the gullible rAbble into voting rEpublican. Although the rAbble that buys this bullplop is surely one or both of these things. Which is why rEpublican optimism is VERY warranted. Despite it taking two and a half terms, rEpublican obstructionism FINALLY seems to be paying off.

And now more of the rAbble are listening to the racist meme concerning oBama being lazy. Will the rAbble realizing it made a mistake in electing a Black president transfer over to them realizing they shouldn't make a mistake of electing a woman president?

Lying Lester hopes so. And, although I am neither a racist or a misogynist himself, it makes me smile when the rEpublians manipulate the gullible into blaming dEmocrats for rEpublian obstructionism and buying bullplop concerning oBama being "lazy".

So, while Lying Lester would prefer the rAbble vote Libertarian, voting rEpublian is better than voting for the sOcialist fascist pRogressive lEftist terrorist-coddling America-hating dEmocrats.

On Internet Trolls & Stalkers Targeting Lying Lester

Trolls are aplenty and certainly Lying Lester has a few that target him everywhere. It's just the price one pays for not "staying on the reservation" or for having independent views concerning the right of the wealthy to rule over us. And then there is the jealousy regarding Lying Lester's extreme Manliness, sexual prowess, and talent with the ladies (talent in bedding them, that is).

In any case I should note that, trolls, and their boorish behavior, are not limited to any particular political or philosophical view or party. Fact is, Lying Lester receives many missives a day from both pRogressive and rEpublican trolls, usually accusing me of being an "anti-Semite". All of which I send directly to Blogger's spam folder.

And the anonymous stalker never offers a single citation! No links, no quotes, not one shred of evidence... nothing! (no evidence that I'll publish, in any case).

Now, while it is true that I did admit saying "American Jews are the offspring of the pacifists that willing were led to the gas chambers in Hitlers Holocaust", obviously I was taken out of context!

The context in which is was meant, and was actually understood by all those who think and are interested in more than their sick destructive bullshit in their attempt to destroy the character of an honest and unbiased person was exactly the following...

The Jews, during the era of Adolph Hitler's bigoted and tyrannical REIGN of TERROR did not, based on my understanding of HISTORY (as taught by those responsible for teaching me) resist forcibly against the terror the idiot bastard rump Hitler was intent on inflicting upon the Jewish people.

My purpose was to point out the possibility of it happening anytime a people do not resist the tyranny of an hyper active ideologically driven politically agenda such as the pRogressive movement in America.

So, as you can see, I was slandering pRogressives by comparing them to Nazis. And, in regards to those who ask "is there any level of hyperbole that the delusional far rightwing conservative/reactionaries WON'T descend to?". I say "seemingly not".

But that has absolutely NOTHING to due with the fact that what we're talking about is Lying Lester descending to a level of hyperbole and delusion in his quest to slander pRogressives. Lying Lester is a Libertarian, and HIS hyperbole is the suggestion that a tyrannical pRogressive regime might roundup liberty-lovers such as myself and send them to concentration camps... and ultimately the gas chambers!

Which is why we (the liberty lovers) need to arm ourselves for that day when the pRogressive's jackbooted thugs come for us! Believe me, when that day comes Lying Lester will be ready, having accumulated a very large stockpile of weapons! And, if any sOcialist pRogressive enforcers try to disarm Lying Lester, or take him into custody for transport to a reprogramming camp, you can bet I'll take as many with me to the grave as possible!

Me pointing out that the Jews went willingly to the gas chambers is simply a warning against this course of action and in no way anti-Semitic. Even though it's total BS and there actually were many examples of Jewish people fighting back. No matter. It is a lie that was taught by those responsible for teaching me (as previously noted).

Anyway, Ayn Rand was a Jew. A Jew that changed her name from Alisa Zinovyevna Rosenbaum - so I can't possibly be anti-Semitic! But did Ayn Rand change her name due to embarrassment for being Jewish? No, it was because Rand was a life-long atheist with a secular philosophy. "She was Jewish, but she always said her religion had no meaning to her" (according to a source I read).

So Ayn would have criticized those Jews who went willing to the gas chambers as well. And been with Lying Lester in agreeing that liberty-lovers should arm ourselves against the anti-liberty sOcialist lIberal pRogressives and their jackbooted thugs. Ms. Rand even wrote a novel (Atlas Shrugs) where a tyrannical socialist regime robs from it's productive citizens to give to the worthless Takers!

And, so what if Rand's fictional novel is self-serving claptrap from a wealthy-worshipping paranoid-delusional? And so what if a real threat to democracy would more than likely come from a fascist Rightwing authoritarian regime bought and paid for by our plutocrats? It isn't as if any of that would be bad... for the plutocrats. For a gullible and malleable rAbble to believe lies like Rand's would be good for them. And isn't that what we all want (what's good for the plutocrats)?

Anyway, that Lying Lester worships Ayn Rand obviously disproves this meme concerning Lying Lester being "anti-Semitic". Although, one could argue that a false claim concerning American Jews being the offspring of the pacifists that willing were led to the gas chambers in Hitlers Holocaust is anti-Semitic. And in regards to that accusation? Lying Lester says MAYBE. But it's anti-Semitism put to good use... to warn people about (fictitious) lIberal tyranny! (and is therefore only a White lie).

I mean, if the aMerican pEople were to accept that pRogressivism is actually in their best interest, then they might vote for the pRogressive agenda in greater numbers! And then those they elect might actually do something to guard against the REAL danger... the danger posed by the accumulation of large amounts of wealth in a small number of hands.

And - hard to believe - but some people actually do consider this a "danger"... but those people are just worthless Poors. Except for the Jews. Many of them seem to be in the middle and upper-middle classes (if you believe that stereotype, which Lying Lester does). But for some reason they refuse to acknowledge the fact that the wealthy SHOULD rule us!

Lying Lester cannot fathom why, but shame on these Jews for voting Democrat. The very fact that a large majority of American Jews have voted for the Democrat in the presidential election for the last 50 years (at least) is reason enough for Lying Lester to slander them with lies about their ancestors going willing to gas chambers!

Lying Lester Explains Socialism in a Nutshell

The infantile and greedy socialists say "I'm here. I'm breathing. provide me". Or "provide FOR me".

Fascism in a nutshell consists of wealthy "job creators" telling almost the same thing to workers. What these "fascists" say is "I'm here and breathing and special due to being wealthy. You worthless workers need to toil for very low wages and let me keep most of the fruits of your labor".

Now, the question we have to ask ourselves is: which do we prefer? What system should we choose for running this great country? Obviously rational long term self interest - which isn't what many think it is - tells us that the answer is the later and not the former.

Why? Well, just look at a graph of the standard of living since the birth of Christ. As you can plainly see (if you Googled for and found this graph), it was essentially a flat line until the 1800s. And while we can obviously never know with certitude what the cause of this upturn was, it does seem rather convincing that it started to mushroom at the very same time that free markets, economic liberalization, free trade, the industrial revolution, and liberty also developed.

I mean, I know that this is a difficult thing for the socialists to accept but those looking at this graph can PLAINLY see that workers toiling for the benefit of our wealthy overlords benefits us all.

Some of us more than others, but in the end we all benefit. If you believe this BS about free markets, economic liberalization and free trade being solely responsible for the standard of living going up, that is. Which Lying Lester does. Or SAYS he does.

That would be as opposed to the truth about why the standard of living has gone up, which would be the technical advancements of generation upon generation (the industrial revolution being one such advance). I mean, as the collective knowledge of mankind increases over time, how could the standard of living NOT go up?

Even if the wealthy are siphoning off a large portion of the fruits of the common man's labor. The wealthy are generous enough to leave some crumbs for everyone else. And, of course, as the wealthy get richer and richer, the crumbs (proportionally) must also increase. At least for some. If not the rAbble might catch on. And in dEmocracies such as ours, that could be a problem.

Sure, free markets, economic liberalization and free trade *do* have something to do with the standard of living increasing. Although if the system wasn't being exploited by the wealthy to benefit themselves disproportionately, the standard of living for the average Joe could be a lot higher. Even for the third world wage slaves that often die due to poor working and living conditions.

But if not for their sacrifice - even if it is not a voluntary one, but one we must coerce them into (work for low wages or starve to death) - the wealthy would be slightly less wealthy. And nobody wants that, do they? I know I surely do not. What a horrible world this would be if The Rich and powerful could not exploit the Poor and powerless.

Lying Lester knows that it is not a world he would want to live in. But praise Ayn Rand that such a world existing is all but impossible... thanks in part to stooges like myself. And my buddy Will Hart, for whom I thank for his contribution to the authorship of this commentary.

Lying Lester Laughs At The Idea Of A Lady President

A Lady president? Apparently the dEmocrats think it is "time". Don't worry about earning the position or about actually being the best qualified person for the job. That was not a concern when the dEmocrats decided it was "time" for a Black president, after all.

In bArack oBama they selected a not-even-one-term Senator from IL. A former community organizer who "achieved" nothing in the private sector. And, although his educational achievements appear impressive, he refuses to release those transcripts. I wonder why. Perhaps he only "achieved" what he did due to affirmative action?

Given what a lazy pResident oBama has been, Lying Leser finds it hard to believe he achieved anything beyond organizing people to demand handouts from the gOvernment (isn't that what a "community organizer" does?). So, oBama, our first affirmative action pResident? Lying Lester thinks YES.

As for the next dEmocratic presidential hopeful, it has been decided that the time has come for a lady pResident. Many think that the job should go to Hillary Clinton. Because she is a former first lady who parlayed that "experience" into a Senatorship and then a disastrous stint as the current prez's secretary of state.

A position Hillary held when one of our nation's worst terrorist attacks occurred, I should note. I refer to Benghazi, of course. An attack during which the terrorists killed ambassador Christopher Stevens, among others. But Hillary did not even care, saying "what does it matter"?

Now it is Hillary's Turn to get her shot at the White House as the nation's first female candidate for president. That is, unless Elizabeth Warren challenges her. Either way the dEmocrats have decided to go for a lady, even if that lady lacks the necessary qualifications, or did a rump job while serving as one of oBama's secretaries.

Only because it is "time". Now, given how Ayn Rand viewed feminism, you know she would strongly disagree with this argument. Because there are strong strands of collectivism in feminism, Ayn Rand rejected it, and even went so far as to provocatively declare herself a "male chauvinist". Not that that makes any f*cking sense, but it is true.

Ayn argued that sexually, women should desire to engage in "hero worship", and that this required having at least one man to whom they could each look up to. For this reason she argued in her essay "About a Woman President" that a women should not want to be the commander-in-chief.

I, as an Objectivist and admirer of Miss Rand, defer to her judgment. A woman should not want to be president. And, even *if* I were inclined to vote for a lady president, it would surely not be either Hillary or Elizabeth, each of whom is completely unqualified in Lying Lester's opinion.

Being a First Lady or terrible sEcretary of sTate does not qualify one to be president! Should Hillary be able to ride her husband's coattails into the White House? Of course not. Even though she has ridden his coattails into the Senate and into the position of one of Obama's secretaries (and I refer NOT to the type of secretarial position that is appropriate for a woman to hold).

And Elizabeth Warren? Give me a break! She isn't even qualified to hold her current position. One which she has not been in for that long, remember. But like oBama the presidential buzz is suggesting she should run despite a resume that shows she is unqualified for the position of Commander-in-Chief.

So, who should one vote for come 2016? I say vote for Gary Johnson. He's a MAN and has the necessary qualifications to serve. Gary Johnson served as the 29th Governor of New Mexico from 1995 to 2003. In 1976 Gary founded Big J Enterprises, which grew from this one-person venture to become one of New Mexico's largest construction companies.

Experience running a state as Governor, and experience running a company in the private sector. And also a Man. Are these NOT the qualifications that we should be looking for in a Chief Executive?

So, come 2016 I say you should vote for Gary. He is more than qualified, and he's also not a Lady nor is he Black. I know Gary is the Man I'll be voting for. As would Ayn Rand, were she still with us. Of that I am sure.
