As Plainly as I Can Say It... I'm A Gary Johnson Dupe

This commentary concerns my vote for president this November. Will I vote for Trump? I thought long and hard about it, but in the end I decided that Trump is a clown and I refuse to vote for clowns. If he wasn't a former reality show personality? Then, MAYBE I'd vote for him.

I really like his idea about building a wall. Not to keep out Hispanics willing to work for incredibly low wages. I'm 100 percent in favor of opening the borders to let in slave wage laborers (driving down wages for average Americans). But we do need to keep out terrorists who might try and sneak over the border (perhaps with a suitcase nuke).

So, that's a NO on Trump (unfortunately).

But you know who else I refuse to vote for? I refuse to vote for a person who lies to the families of the victims of the Benghazi attacks (telling them one thing when you told your own family something different) and who, when pressed on the matter, strongly implies that they're the ones who are lying.

Regardless of whether or not that actually happened. Which it did not. According to David Brooks (a man I admire because he's one of the very few commentators out there who holds both sides' feet to the fire) the search for something (anything) to indict Hillary on (in regards to Benghazi) failed because there was no scandal. In Brook's words the endless "investigation" of HRC over Benghazi resulted in NOTHING to slime Hillary with because it was a "big nothing burger".

David Brooks further said "there is a certain psychosis that goes through people's minds, especially about scandals, but Clinton scandals, where they — where something smells, and they think there must be something big, and they imagine there is about to be some big revelation that will destroy their careers".

Yeah, I think that just about sums it up for me. The psychosis that results in thinking there MUST be something big. That "something" being the "fact" that HRC "lied" to some of the families of those who lost loved ones in Benghazi. See also Lara Logan's debunked reporting regarding what Dylan Davies (a British employee of the security company Blue Mountain Group) said happened on the night of the Benghazi attacks.

According to Davies (as per his incident report) he "could not get anywhere near" the compound the night of the attack. Later he changed his story. In the revised version he "scaled a wall of the compound, personally struck a terrorist in the face with his rifle butt, and later went to the Benghazi hospital to see Ambassador Chris Stevens' body". Presumably he made himself a hero in this version in order to sell a book (a book that Simon & Schuster pulled when it discovered Davis was a liar).

Regardless of whether or not Davis is a liar (which he is), I continue to stick to my guns and insist that Lara Logan's reporting (reporting which she apologized for, saying "we made a mistake") PROVES that that IT'S NOT a "fake scandal" After All!!! And, yeah, I strongly suspect that Ms. Logan is going to get slimed over this one. Just because she said she made a mistake in putting a liar on the air?

Does it really matter that Davis lied? I say NO. What's important is the story that Logan initially reported. A story that makes the Obama administration and HRC look bad. Sorry, but I've got to part ways with the estimable David Brooks on this one. In this instance I think he took his penchant for holding people's feet to the fire regardless of party TO FAR. I mean, in this instance I think harming HRC's presidential chances is what is important. As opposed to getting the facts right.

For the record, when I said before that I'd vote for Hillary if someone held a gun to my head and told me I had to chose between her and Donald... and I said I'd vote for Hillary? What I forgot to add was (in that scenario), it was Hillary who was holding the gun to my head. If nobody was holding a gun to my head - and the choice was Hillary or Donald? I'd choose Donald. Despite him being a clown. And least he isn't a liar like Hillary (even though what I SAY she lied about is something she actually didn't lie about).

That's who and why I'm voting for Gary Johnson again. I'm totally in with his use of the buzzwords "liberty" and "freedom". Because he's referring to freedom and liberty for rich people. Mostly freedom from high taxes. Nevermind the fact that, belying the "liberty" facade, Gary has surrounded himself with a bevy of Rightwing opperatives.

Gary Johnson's campaign chief, Ron Nielson... runs a conservative polling firm called NSON Opinion Strategies, whose headquarters is the same three-story building on South Temple Road as Johnson's campaign headquarters... NSOM has a history of working with GOP right-wingers including crotchety Mormon asshole Orin Hatch and ex-witch and masturbation-denier Christine O'Donnell... Gary Johnson's campaign headquarters is located in Romney's backyard, in a right-wing Republican polling firm's office. [Also] according to documents filed with the state of Utah, the person responsible for filing the paperwork to register Gary Johnson's "Our America Initiative" is Maureen Otis, a Texas attorney with deep roots in the far-right Minutemen movement, and with Republican Party voter-suppression dirty tricks. (The Gary Johnson Swindle by Mark Ames. 11/6/2012).

The article goes on, but you get the idea. Gary Johnson being a "Libertarian" is (as per the article title) a swindle. Gary, despite his claims of wanting "liberty", associates himself with Rightwing operatives who are involved in voter suppression. Suppression that benefits Republican candidates.

Keep in mind that Gary (running as a Libertarian) has ZERO chance becoming president. So what's the game here? Help yourself by helping those who are cheating to get Republicans elected? Yeah, I think that's it.

Which I should note is A-OK by me. Will GOP dirty tricks help Donald Trump get elected? I think it's definitely possible that Republican voter suppression could hand the presidency to Gary Johnson Donald Trump. Sure, I'd be ecstatic if (somehow) voter suppression benefited Gary Johnson. Unfortunately that's not going to happen.

That being the case, I'm OK with Trump getting "elected" president. I'm not in love with the idea, but it is what it is. Better him than a piece of shit like HRC. Although (like I said) I'm voting for Johnson. Unless Hillary held a gun to my head. Then I'd vote for her. I'm only one vote and surely my one vote is NOT worth dying over. At least it isn't worth ME dying over. If Hillary held a gun to wd's head and said "vote for me or else" (I'll blow wd's head off)? I'd tell her to pull the trigger.

Is Paul Krugman Certifiably Insane?

Douch-bag "economist" Paul Krugman is a fucking gutless turd who isn't man enough to debate Robert Murphy. Yes, Paul Krugman criticized Murphy for predicting that the quantitative easing practiced by the Federal Reserve in the late 2000s would create double-digit inflation. And these predictions did not come to fruition. But so what?

And Murphy has expressed skepticism about evolution, asserting that he "can literally prove evolution is false". But, while I agree with Murphy that evolution is a totally bogus theory, he doesn't agree with my theory which is that life on earth was created in a lab by super-intelligent AI robots, who then seeded the galaxy.

Instead Murphy subscribes to a literal interpretation of the Bible. Because he's a Christian who believes in the imaginary Christian "God". Ridiculous? Yes. But not as ridiculous as Paul Krugman. This wack-job actually believes that the AI robots who created us (or other alien beings) are planning an invasion of earth that we need to prepare for! Maybe he got the idea from the 1996 sci-fi film Independance Day?

Who knows? We do know, however, that the insane Krugman thinks that the world should be building up its military in preparation for this coming alien invasion and that a side benefit of such a massive misallocation of resources would in fact pull the world out of recession. So it would be good, even if the invasion never materialized. Although Krugman is positive it will.

Could Krugman be suffering from some form of mental illness? I say the answer is a definite YES. Not only that, but I think Krugman's mental illness is quite severe, in that the dude is obviously delusional. He might suggesting that the Treasury mint a few of those trillion dollar coins to pay for the "needed" military buildup in order to repel the invading space aliens. What a nutjob, huh?

Was FDR Our First Mentally Challenged President?

It's a totally true fact that the Democratic Party platform in 1932 advocated a 25% reduction in Federal expenditures AND FDR CAMPAIGNED ON THIS!!!!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Roosevelt and his running-mate, John Nance Garner, essentially took turns lambasting Hoover for his deficit/wasteful spending, insane levels of taxation, destructive tariff policies, and even went as far as to say that Hoover was leading the country down the road to socialism. Talk about a bait and switch, huh (the fact that FDR did a total 180 and turned into Hoover on steroids and as a result the Depression lasted until 1945; WW2 only masking it)?

Yes it is also a fact* that FDR's socialistic programs prolonged the great depression by many years. According to what I've read, this idea "was popularized by Amity Shlaes book The Forgotten Man. ...but has been repeatedly debunked for using a set of employment figures the were inaccurate (they excluded millions of people with jobs)" (source).

The Forgotten Man, classified by Depression historian Robert S. McElvaine, as "born-again Antisocial Darwinism", argues that FDR was NOT a total dipshit. Historian Matthew Dallek, who has called Amity Shlaes a "revisionist" with a "blind view of the New Deal". Historian Eric Rauchway points out that Shlaes ignored historical GDP easily available in the Historical Statistics of the United States.

And, finally, journalist Jonathan Chait of The New Republic wrote, "intellectual coherence is not the purpose of Shlaes' project. The real point is to recreate the political mythology of the period". (Source: Wikipedia/The Forgotten Man: A New History of the Great Depression/Reception). Ouch! That's a blow to Libertarian the Libertarian historical revisionism I subscribe to.

Libertarian revisionism that says FDR made the Great Depression worse. A false narrative I'm totally down with, BTW. Not because it isn't complete BS (which it is), but because as a brainwashed stooge I believe what Libertarian luminaries tell me to believe. According to the Mises Institute the FDR administration was so incredibly stupid that their "solutions" included a "collection of crackpot policies".

BTW, when I say that FDR was "mentally challenged", I mean he was a retard ("mentally challenged" being the politically correct way of saying retarded). FDR, who, due to his polio, suffered from permanent paralysis from the waist down. Frankly I'm thinking the paralysis was from the waist UP and he couldn't walk because of brain paralysis. This brain polio explains the moronic ideas he came up with for combating the Great Depression.

*not a fact.

On The Fact That Most African Americans Simply Aren't Smart Enough To Be Lawyers (Not Good Ones, Anyway)

It is a fact that (based on the seminal Bar Passage Study of 1999 to 2004) a Black Student with a college GPA of 3.3 and an LSAT Score of 160 has a 200% better chance of passing the Bar on his or her first attempt if that student goes to Fordham Law School rather than Columbia, Harvard, Yale, Stanford, Cornell, Penn, Duke, or NYU Law School.

The reason is because Blacks are simply not as smart as Whites and need to go to a school that is more their "speed". I refer you to the poorly researched Taylor/Sander Book, "Mismatch" for a more in-depth analysis (the authors proving they have a high talent for inaccurate observation).

Mismatch happens when affirmative action students go to colleges where they are ill-prepared to compete and frequently either drop out completely or graduate and never pass the bar exam. Which is why racists such as myself strongly oppose sending dummy Blacks to schools that should only be attended by Whites (and, perhaps a SMALL percentage of Asians). Because Whites possess superior brains that can handle the rigors of completing the classwork at one of our more prestigious institutions of higher learning.

Can Blacks even be lawyers? Perhaps some can (subpar ones at best), but only if they attend "lesser" institutions; colleges that teach to the middle. As opposed to the TOP (a location populated almost exclusively by more intelligent White students). The fact of the matter is that when Blacks attend law school they mostly end up in the bottom 10% of their classes at Columbia and Penn, as opposed to being at the 50th percentile somewhere else (a school that is more their "speed", as I said earlier).

And, is it RIGHT that schools that should be exclusively White are being forced to accept less capable (brain-power wise) Blacks? I say NO. Thank you, White liberals.

On The Fact That Rational Nation, AKA Les Carpenter, AKA Lying Lester Is Now A Hardcore Progressive (One Of The Dimmer Ones)

Recently the former anarcho-capitalist Ayn Rand worshipping Libertarian blogger Rational Nation converted to hardcore Progressivism. I shit you not.

And they call Trump an idiot (not that I disagree with that of course). But come on! Although, now that I think of it, maybe Jersey McJones represented the REAL personality and political philosophy of Les Carpenter ALL ALONG and "Rational Nation USA" was (and is) the sock puppet? "Lying Lester" indeed.

In any case, he surely has been able to keep up the charade for a very long time. Unlike that dummy wd - who tripped up and outed his sock puppet (commented as himself while signed in with his conservative alter ego).

I gotta wonder, however, why Les decided to convert his "Rational Nation" sock puppet into a Progressive. Perhaps he thinks that other Libertarians will note his conversion, "see the light" and follow his lead?

Who knows? It didn't work with me. Although I heard that dmarks actually voted for that fucker Bernie Sanders in his state primary?! A development I find impossible to fathom. Maybe Les (or should I call him Jersey now) got to him (converted at least one Conservative to his way of thinking)?

Is Willis "I Love Strawmen" Hart Somebody's Sock Puppet?

Recently that idiot Leftist blogger, Ducky (I shit you not), alleged that I was a sock-puppet (of who he wasn't specific).

But I've been blogging for 9 YEARS now. I use my own damned name. What the fuck is this idiot talking about? I mean, are leftists really this stupid?

BTW, I'm not being specific as to where the hell Ducky supposedly said I was a sock puppet, but so what? Nobody reads this blog so why do I need to lay out the details? The bottom line here is that I know where it happened and I'm not telling you.

Octopus Is Decidedly NOT Amazing!

Contrary to what the former proprietor of this blog wrote, Octopus is absolutely NOT amazing! The fact is that Octopus is a mediocre, pseudo-professorial, cringe-inducing, self-important, pedantic, condescending, demagogic, cartoonishly partisan, race-hustling, thin-skinned, intolerant, straight out of central casting, and utterly buffoonish true-believing Leftist blogger.

To steal a phrase from Disraeli, the dude's "inebriated by the exuberance of his own verbosity". And can you even begin to imagine what it would be like sitting next to him on a long plane ride? Yikes, huh? I think I might hijack the plane and crash it into a mountain. Better yet, I think I'd definitely pass a note to the stewardess saying I suspected Octopus was a terrorist. Then he'd be removed from the plane.

By the way, I just noticed that the former proprietor of this blog, Lying Lester, put up a post on his RNUSA blog in which he said the asshole Octopus is "a person possessing by far superior intelligence, reasoning ability, and integrity" and that I, Willis Hart have a "rather stunted mind and character". To which I say "fuck you, Lying Lester". Emphasis on the "Lying".

Supposedly my commentary about Octopus is "projection". This from a blogger you used to be an anarcho-capitalist Libertarian who worshiped Ayn Rand and who thoroughly despised the progressive Left, but now essentially signs-off on every cockamamie Leftist notion under the damned sun from demonizing fossil fuels to playing the race-card to demagoguing on income inequality, class warfare, etc. This is exponentially far from normal behavior and, yes, when you throw in the whole Jersey McJones alter-ego, it's damned near psychotic!

The final straw for me was when that asshole Octopus called me a racist on RNUSA for correctly pointing out the fact that Blacks are incredibly violent. The demagogue said "racial profiling is the same as RACISM, and Will-the-Shill has demonstrated both".

And Lester, instead of defending his friend (at least I thought we were friends), agreed! He said "Comments such as ones addressed by Octopus in this comment thread do nothing to move the needed discussion forward and in fact works against improving dialogue on the issue".

This despite the fact that Lester previously acknowledged the fact that Blacks are also very lazy. So I *thought* he'd have my back! Instead the fucker stabs me in the back! That is when I left RNUSA for good. Because Black being stupid, lazy, violent drug users/pushers is just a fact, and me (in pointing this out) is in no way "racist".

For the record, the discussion in question concerned the murderer Dylann Roof. However (as I've also pointed out previously) incidents like this are anecdotal. By and large it's racist Blacks we need to be concerned about (racism and bigotry not just directed at White people, but at gays and Asians as well).

Sure, there are a few White racists, but not many. The real racists are largely Black. They want what Whitey has, but aren't willing to work for it. Instead they want to steal from the White man, either via actual theft, or via welfare programs (the Democrats being complicit in this theft being a fact that truly sickens me)!

Wild Black Animals Should Be Locked Up Forever (Or Perhaps Put To Death)

It is a fact (according to former prison psychologist, Marlin Newburn) the typical street-predator sees empathy as a weakness and brutality as something to be honored. I'd also add to these facts the fact that these street predators are usually Black males who spend their time not working but getting high and fathering dozens of kids from multiple mothers. That is when they aren't dealing drugs or committing other crimes (often victimizing innocent hard-working Whites).

And being that many psychologists will tell you tell you that personality disorders (with what I've described in the preceding paragraph obviously being one) are the most difficult forms of mental illness to ameliorate, that is probably why the recidivism rate is so staggeringly high. I mean, I get it that the Left is tied at the hip to the rehabilitation paradigm and all but maybe the best strategy for some of these folks (for their safety and for the community's) is just to keep them locked up, at least until they have a marketable skill, which will be never.

So maybe we should just put them to death? I'm just asking. Because, clearly we're dealing with human garbage here. And what do we do with garbage? Send it to a landfill and cover it over. Then the problem is TRULY taken care of. As opposed to locking the garbage up... then we've go to hire people to look after the garbage, which (in addition to being extremely expensive) can also be problematic (given how violent Black animals can be).

Yes, some of these rehabilitation programs pointed to by assholes on the Left actually work (Norway having one of the lowest recidivism rates in the world at 20%, whereas the US has one of the highest at 76.6%). But should the United States be taking any cues from Norway (or any other country)? I say fuck no. That's Bernie Sanders thinking.

BTW, I absolutely do not believe that the lifelong stigmatization of anyone with criminal record (placed on ex-offenders by our laws and society) has ANYTHING to do with them not being able to get a job. Or, even if it does, I surely do not give a shit. According to the bleeding hearts on the Left "gainful employment is a necessity for an ex-prisoner trying to get back on his or her feet; it helps prevent recidivism by providing legal income and giving a person a productive role in society".

To which I say... maybe. But once someone has made a mistake I say lock them up forever (or perhaps put them to death). What I'm saying is that there shouldn't be any 2nd chances. Sorry, but no. One strike and you're out, I say. As a White guy that's just not a chance I want to take when it comes to these violent Black criminals.

Seriously, even though I'm a Libertarian I honestly believe that some people (and I think we both know who these people are) don't deserve Constitutional rights. And these rights (Constitutional ones) should be stripped from these people so we can dispose of them as necessary. By locking them up forever, or even (possibly) by exterminating them.

On The Fact That (Because They Lack The Brainpower) Black Youths Would Rather Spend Their Time Mastering Violent Video Games, Fighting, Getting Wasted, Getting Knocked-up, Etc.

Did you know that some bleeding-hearts claim that if only there were more libraries in the inner-city (I actually saw a lady argue that on a Colin Flaherty Video) the crime-rate would go down.

Just as long as the libraries aren't made out of wood. Because, you know, Blacks riot and burn shit down. Because they're basically wild animals. During the slavery era they were at least domesticated animals.

PS... How would more libraries do any good given the fact that many of these dummy Blacks can't read? Now, according to the article "7 Lies We Need to Stop Telling About Young African-American Men", that "there are more African-American males in prison than college", that "African-American males believe academic achievement means they are acting white", that "less than 50% of African-American males graduate from high school", that "African-American male students have the same opportunities as their peers", that "African-American male students are underachievers", etc, are all "lies".

But I say these are truths. The author of the article, "Antwaun Sargent" (clearly a Black name) is a liar. Or he might just be dumb.

Blacks also have from 3 to 19% more of the sex hormone testosterone than Whites or Orientals. This means more explosive energy, which gives Blacks the edge in sports like boxing, basketball, football, and sprinting. "Why do East Asians and Whites and have wider hips than Blacks, and so make poorer runners?" The answer is that they give birth to larger brained babies. During evolution, as the head size of newborns increased, women had to have a wider pelvis. Orientals average 1 cubic inch more cranial capacity than Whites, and Whites average a very large 5 cubic inches more cranial capacity than Blacks. Proof that Blacks are so inferior to Whites in every way that they can barely be deemed to be of the same species as us. (Source).

This explains why more libraries would be a total waste. Blacks should train for manual labor jobs; and work them for a very low wage. The "minimum wage" being something we need to get rid of. It's racist to not acknowledge that we need to provide jobs for Blacks.

Most of them can't work jobs that require a medium to high intelligence (jobs that are done by mostly by Whites). Stupid fucking Liberals want them on welfare (because handing out freebies buys votes) when they could be doing low skill jobs for extremely low pay.

Memebers Of ISIS Are True Followers Of Muhammad, As Are All Muslims (They Should ALL Be Deported From This Country!)

It is a fact that I Left the Episcopalian church 35 Years ago and so far no one's come after me. 86% of Anglicans obviously not believing in death for apostasy. Thank God (pun intended, as this "god" fellow doesn't exist).

This is quite unlike what happens with that barbaric raghead religion known as "Islam". If anyone tries to leave it, that is. Barbaric because the complete and unabridged list of things that ISIS and al Qaeda have done that Muhammad wouldn't have consists of zero entries!

By which I mean that every single raghead who professes to be a follower of Islam is a terrorist (in my book and also in reality). Donald Trump, with his pause in importing more of these scumbags until we "figure out what's going on", doesn't go far enough. We need to deport them all. If no country will take them? I guess we've got no other choice but mass executions.

Give them notice first and see if they can arrange to emigrate elsewhere. I'm no barbarian, after all. But the fact remains... why should we allow those who hate us to live here? It's fucking insane.

Violent Black Animals Kill Cops Whose Lives Don't Matter (According To These BLM Assholes)

It is a fact that in prison the king of the yard is frequently a cop killer. This I know from first hand experience, having recently been sentenced to prison for "raping" some chick (who wanted it).

Anyway, why should the prison yard be any different than the street when it comes to these thugs? Murdering providing the ultimate in street-cred and, yes, when it's a cop that you're offing, watch out!!? Seriously?

BTW, I haven't reported for my sentence yet. The cop killer being the king of the yard is a fact I gleaned after interviewing some other guys who went to prison after being convicted of "rape" (AKA consensual sex after which the bitch changed her mind).

Don't worry, though, as I plan on keeping up both of my blogs. By smuggling out posts which my hired man Arnie Hanson will publish. Hopefully I won't be away for too long and my lawyer (who has already filed an appeal) will be able to get me out of this jam.

BTW, if one of these Black animals gets up in my grill? I might have to beat the shit out of him.

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.
