Lying Lester Asks: Is America Becoming A Police State?

Eerily resembling Nazi Germany, Communist Russian, and most totalitarian police states. Is America next to join the long line of the all powerful sTate? Looks like maybe we can relax as for once there seems to be a developing consensus and unity that what happened in Ferguson is simply a bunch of no-good Black Poors getting what they deserve.

And who would complain about worthless Poors receiving a necessary beatdown (to keep them in their place)? Certainly not Lying Lester. In fact, such a thing makes him smile. Anyway, it now looks like the thug that was shot was guilty of a strongarm robbery involving some cigars!

What we have here is a lazy Poor thinking he can get what he wants by Taking it! So he got what he deserved. Although, by getting himself killed instead of sent to prison, he deprived the prison industry another inmate they could have billed the sTate for.

Now, you might think that Lying Lester, being a Libertarian, would not approve of an industry that subsists on tax dollars, but you would be wrong! Of course the taxpayers of the United States should pay for enforcing our laws.

But allowing the much more efficient private sector to handle the incarceration of said law breakers is a very good idea in Lying Lester's opinion. Perhaps the police force should be privatized as well?

Being a Libertarian I believe that most needs can and SHOULD be provided by the private sector. Because then rich folks can make a large profit doing it. And, with the rich in control, the power of the sTate would surely be decreased. While increasing the power of the wealthy, of course. But enriching the already wealthy and, at the same time handing off more power to them... well, isn't that something we are all desirous of?

Lying Lester knows he is VERY desirous of any course of action that would further empower the plutocrats. What about you? If you're smart you'll agree with Lying Lester. And with the great philosopher Ayn Rand as well. Rich people are the Atlases of the world, and therefore should rightly be in charge.

Welcome To The New & Improved Lying Lester Blog

Or it may not be "improved"... only time will tell. Surely it will be hard to top the outstanding job my predecessor, Lester Nation did.

I will surely try, however. In any case, I, Lyle Lester, this blog's new proprietor, welcome you to "my" blog. Mine, in that it now belongs to me. Not "mine", in that I started it or posted that many commentaries.

I am, truth be told, new to blogging. I am not, however, new to fanatically worshipping the great philosopher Ayn Rand. I have been doing that for many years. That is, actually, how I meet this blog's former owner, the esteemed Mr. Nation. It was at one of the legendary Ayn Rand conventions, the latest of which just recently wrapped up.

That is where I reconnected with my old friend. It was a hot July 3rd in Los Vegas where I bumped into Mr. Nation. "Where have you been all these years?" my old friend asked. "I, unfortunately, have not been attending the conferences regularly", I responded.

As to why, that is a personal matter that I may go into with a future commentary. Suffice to say it had been awhile since I had attended a conference. Anyway, our lengthy discussion eventually turned to Lester's problems regarding this blog.

"I am not sure why, exactly", Lester said, "but there are a number of other bloggers that take offense at my blog Lying Lester's Irrational Nation". Then he explained to me that the opinions of some of these other bloggers mattered to him, which was why he was looking for someone to take over the aforementioned blog.

Now, I cannot say I understand why the opinions of some Liberal blogger calling himself "Octopus" matter so much to my old buddy... Lester did stress the fact that he will continue to blog over on rAtional nAtion uSA, his other (first/older) blog... so maybe he has his hands full and overextended himself with a second sight?

I don't know, but perhaps Mr. Nation will stop by and post a comment explaining why, exactly, he decided he could not continue blogging here? I mean, I *did* read the past commentaries here concerning this "Octopus" and his STRONG disapproval of this blog, but yet...

Anyway, I suppose none of that matters any longer, seeing as this sight is now under new management. Lester Nation is no longer the owner of this blog. I, Lyle Lester, am now the one in charge. The similarity between our names, by the way, is purely coincidental.

What is not a coincident, however, is that we both go by the nickname/alias "Lying Lester". It isn't a coincident because nobody ever called me that. I did, however, decide to adopt the "Lying Lester" alias/persona when I took over this blog.

I mention this just so nobody is confused when I refer to myself as "Lying Lester". For the purposes of writing on this blog *I* am now "Lying Lester". Lester Nation USED to be "Lying Lester". Got it?

As for what I'll be lying about... it will actually be very little. As established by the former proprietor, this blog will be one where I tell the truth about Objectivism and Libertarianism, which is that it is an ideology that was/is designed to help achieve the worthy goal of concentrating wealth at the top.

The LYING comes into play when us Objectivist Libertarians go out into the world and try to sell our ideology to the ignorant masses. Most people simply do not get it, or agree that worshipping wealth is a positive.

This is why us Libertarians (those of us not dumb enough to actually believe the BS about bowing to the wealthy helping everybody) must lie to the public in order to get them to accept our policies (in so much as they do).

That is why my friend Lester Nation does on his blog rAtional nAtion uSA, and that is why he called himself "Lying Lester". Because he lied (and continues to lie) to his RNUSA readers.

Me, SURE, I've lied to people in regards to Libertarianism... and my (last) name IS Lester. So, me calling myself "Lying Lester" works. Although on this blog I'll be (largely) telling the truth. Why? As the former proprietor explained to me, it's an experiment to see how many people out there realize what the TRUTH is, and how many are on board with Libertarianism for the RIGHT reasons.

The RIGHT reasons being that we genuinely believe that the path we're traveling down to Oligarchy will result in the right people having all the power and most of the money. In the end, when American throws off the yoke of Democracy, that is.

Then the wealthy will rule, and will rule outright. They won't have to bribe the politicians to do their bidding because government will be small and ineffectual. Ineffectual when it comes to representing "the people" (i.e. the rAbble).

When that glorious day comes "the pEople" will no longer have ANY representation... because THE PEOPLE (the rich/important ones) will be running the show. And that, my fRiends, is a day that Lying Lester (and, in using that ID, I refer to myself/Lyle Lester) looks forward to with great anticipation.

THAT is the glorious day when the Atlases will *indeed* shrug.

Lying Lester Believes The Atlases Should Shrug, Frankly

"Village idiot" is what the pRogressive collectivists call me, and you too can call me that if you like. Go ahead, I am used to it. Fact is I am damn proud of earning that moniker. I really don't care what the progressive collectivists think of my values and principles or the political views I hold.

Frankly I don't care because I know I am right. Since any rational value system must be based on objectivity, rather than emotionalism, the lEft always loses on purely logical and rational grounds. However, don't bother to attempt a rational discussion with them on this point because their emotionalism and altruistic inbred tendencies will of course make it impossible.

For pRogressives the Leviathan government is everything desirable (or needed) to take care of the needs of the people. For the sTatist the gOvernment IS the answer to all of the societal problems facing our nation today. Frankly, they simply refuse to recognize that gOvernment creates more problems than it solves.

On the other hand the rational adult realizes the road to success is the one that is paved by personal commitment, hard work, dedication, the pursuit of excellence, individual initiative, the ability to adapt to changing circumstances, the willingness to accept personal responsibility, the desire not only succeed but to be the very best at what they do, and the ability to bounce back when they fail. Above all they recognize that the Government is not the answer to their problems nor should it be considered the answer.

Sure, some people may fail due to no fault of their own. And some may fail and it is their own fault. But should we kick these people to the gutter instead of helping them up so they can acknowledge their mistakes (if they made any), and try again? Lying Lester frankly says YES.

Frankly, Lying Lester believes compassion for your fellow man is a weakness. Lying Lester cares only for himself and says "screw you" to those who try and fail and don't bounce back on their own. Frankly these people are garbage and need to be tossed out (figuratively). Frankly, I wish gOvernment would just get out of the way and allow people to either sink or swim.

That way the cream would rise to the top (which would include people like Lying Lester, BTW). Instead successful people like myself are drug down by taxing us to pay for handouts for society's losers. Perhaps it is time that us "Atlases" shrugged as they did in the great philosopher Ayn Rand's book? As long as the John Galts of the world are willing to continue to work their proverbial asses off and continue producing we'll be okay.

For a little while longer. But the clock is ticking. Sooner or later there will not be any John Galts left. An altruistic and collectivist nation and world will have sucked the energy and life out of us. This is why I believe the Atlases like me should shrug like John Galt did in the great philosopher's novel.

What would this "shrugging" entail? Frankly, it would be voting Libertarian. Vote Libertarian and shrug off the Leviathan government that both the lEft and the Right support. Frankly it is the only hope we have of avoiding the total destruction of our country at the hands of the Takers.
