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.

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.

If I Were A Serial Killer? My Victims Would Be Leftist Buffoons!

On TV programs or movies when the bad guy is a serial killer, the victims are usually prostitutes. If I were a serial killer, however? My victims would be Leftist buffoons. Not that I am even thinking of becoming a serial killer. I'm not. But if I were? The following people would DEFINITELY be on my kill list...

Stephen Colbert (a Leftist media buffoon who should quit so a woman can have his job), Barney Frank (a clueless crony-capitalist), Melissa Harris-Perry (a pseudo-intellectual, insular, pretentious, and virulent Leftist buffoon), Paul Krugman (a Leftist economist buffoon who laughably suggests an alien invasion would be beneficial), Chris Matthews (a hard-core partisan fool), John Oliver (a Leftist media buffoon who criticizes Donald Trump but not Hillary Clinton), Franklin Delano Roosevelt (a loathsome buffoon who I'd like to time travel to murder), as well as Comrade Bernie Sanders (not just a socialist but a dumb one).

If I could only chose one of the above to rape and murder? My first choice would be FDR (a truly evil man). But to kill him I'd need a time machine. But, since time machines don't exist, I'll go with Paul Krugman. Seriously, can you believe this fucking imbecile won a Nobel prize for economics?!! Yeah, hard to believe it wasn't for buffoonery! That's the one I'd have awarded him, as he SURELY deserves it.

On Our Possible Future President Donald Trump Being Maligned By The Leftist Media

Specifically I'm referring to a recent Yahoo hit-piece that compares Donald Trump to George Wallace, but there are many other examples of unfair treatment from the Leftist media of Mr. Trump. A fact that makes me SO MAD! Which is why I predict that if I patiently wait to see a comparable piece comparing Hillary to Nixon or Sanders to Ho Chi Minh, I'd be waiting forever.

So, yeah, I reject the brain diseased idea that Trump has an "advantage" due to the "free media exposure". Not when all the "free exposure" is negative in nature. More likely it is hurting his campaign rather than helping it. This just goes to show how popular Trump is with the voters... and how likely it is that he will be our next president, I think. Which wouldn't be so terrible, IMO. Sure, I'm for Gary Johnson, but a president Trump? There is no way it could be worse than a Sanders or Clinton presidency. At least, as a Republican, Trump is a fiscal conservative and not a Commie (and I think the facts show that Trump might be more fiscally conservative than your average Republican).

P.S. And what exactly has Trump done to or said about black people that is comparable to George Wallace? I mean, yeah, he said that dumb thing about illegal immigrants and wants a pause on Muslim immigration but a) he never denigrated Mexicans as a whole, only that the illegal ones are rapers, and b) based on that Pew research study (which showed that a majority of citizens of Muslim countries hold views which are 180 degrees diametrical to ours) and the fact that even many of Obama's own security people have warned us of a possible terrorist infiltration of the migrant population, his Muslim pause may not be anywhere near as insane as its being made out to be...

And it's certainly a boatload less draconian than what FDR, that progressive darling, did to the Japanese. Even if Trump pushes for that registry of Muslims he proposed (Trump said he would certainly implement that — absolutely, in reference to a law requiring Muslims in the United States to register in a database). What would be the big deal if that happened? I mean, most of the terrorism comes from the Muslim community, so I think that maybe we should have a registry.

The bottom line here is that Trump is reasonable and pragmatic and the Leftist media referring to him as racist is a vicious smear. And, quite frankly, all these lies about Mr. Trump really make my blood boil! And, that there are large numbers of partisans ON BOTH SIDES that don't want Trump elected? It makes me think that it's possible that Trump might make a very good president.

Piece of Shit Simpleton FDR Knew Of Japanese Attack On Pearl Harbor. Fact Is, The Fucker Provoked It!

OK, so it's absolutely true that the Pearl Harbor advance-knowledge conspiracy is considered to be a fringe theory and is rejected by most mainstream historians. But I'm here to tell you that mainstream historians are dead wrong.

Yeah, it's a fact that FDR decided to move a large chunk of America's naval fleet to Hawaii to deter Japanese aggression. But this was actually one of the most boneheaded decisions and epic fails in Presidential history, and one that was foolhardy on numerous grounds; the fact that it left our vessels vulnerable from every conceivable angle, the fact that Hawaii was chock to the gills with Japanese nationals who could have easily infiltrated the base, the fact that Hawaii was 2,000 miles from the U.S. mainland and thus difficult to resupply, etc.

I mean, it's pretty clear that Roosevelt wanted the Japanese to attack, so he didn't have to attack them first. Duh!

On the Fact That That C0cksucker FDR Campaigned (in 1932) As A Grover Cleveland/Al Smith Democrat & Quickly Did A 180 Once Elected

It is without a doubt one of the most blatant political bait-and-switch episodes in modern history (the Roosevelt campaign even going as far as to say that Hoover was leading the country down the road to socialism).

And Bernie Sanders (the fuck!ng a$shole) would obviously LOVE to be the next FDR, for christ! Yeah, he'd likely be unable to give away as much other people's money as he'd like (Congressional Democrats, not to mention Republicans, would stop him). But should we give him the chance?

I say no. As I mentioned in my previous commentary, the world's richest 62 people now have as much wealth as the other half of world's population. That's half of 7.4 Billion people! Which means that 62 awesome rich people have as much wealth as 3.7 Billion pathetic Poors.

By the way (in regards to FDR), as you recall he was elected 4 freaking times, so the people obviously loved his democratic Socialist policies. But we're too far down the road to oligarchy for that to happen again. Or I pray to god we are, at least (by which I mean I pray to Rockefeller).

Yes, it's true that FDR's presidency set up an era of prosperity for all that lasted until Ronald Reagan was elected. It was "morning in America", and the nation's wealthy makers rejoiced.

Since that time the Democratic Party went corporate (with WJC declaring himself a "New Democrat" and champion of the "3rd way") and our journey toward oligarchy and the crushing into oblivion of the middle class continues. Yes, this process would likely continue under a president HRC, just as it has under Obama. But a president Sanders? I think that c0cksucker might just reverse course. Which would be unthinkable.

Me, I'm voting for Gary Johnson because under a Johnson administration the accelerator would be pushed down to the floor and we'd speed along at an even faster rate down the road to plutocracy. Because who wants prosperity for all? People who work hard shouldn't be able to get ahead, should they? Not if the work they're doing is manual low-skilled labor, they shouldn't.

First, these kind of chimpanzee jobs should be shipped out to 3rd world shitholes and done by brown and yellow people. Secondly, those jobs that aren't shipped out should be done by Blacks here. Think about it. We've got a lot of unemployed Black youths... why not get rid of the minimum wage so employers will hire them?

I mean, OBVIOUSLY the labor of these Black youths isn't worth as much as that of a White worker. They might not work for $0 an hour (unless the jobs were called internships and employers convinced them they could get higher paying jobs after working for nothing for awhile to gain experience) but that doesn't mean these Black youths couldn't be convinced to work for very close to $0 an hour. I say yet's try it and see how low they'll go.

And, with all tariffs abolished and the minimum wage gone more money can flow to the top. As opposed to workers and the Middle class. In my opinion we need to get SERIOUS about increasing income inequality. Super serious. Which is why I don't consider myself a Democrat or a Republican. 62 people having as much wealth as 3.7 billion is a good start, but I KNOW we can do better!
