Moveon.org Lies

I know what you're thinking. You're saying to yourself, "Of course Moveon.org lies, Publius, everyone knows tihs."

Well, this is a particularly vicious lie. In a recent email sent out to Moveon.org members, Moveon.org elites including "Noah" had this to say about plans by the US Chamber of Commerce to oppose further acceleration of government intervention in the economy:
The right-wing lobbyists at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce will spend $100 million to defeat Obama's plans for health care and a clean energy economy. They call it their "most important project" in nearly 100 years.1

Your local Chamber of Commerce represents small businesses, but the U.S. Chamber of Commerce is different—it represents the interests of mega-corporations, especially Big Oil and Coal.

So Moveon.org is trying to paint the US Chamber of Commerce as a "right-wing arm of Big Oil and Coal". An organization that represents 3 million businesses is automatically "ring-wing" to these Socialist goons.

Of course since Moveon.org is the propaganda arm of the Socialist party, funded by mega-billionaire George Soros, one might say this is the pot calling the kettle black.

Aside from playing their usual Socialist card of divisive politics ("Big Oil is Big and therefore inherently evil even though the industry employs millions and fuels our entire economy!"), their claims are quite simply factually wrong.

The US Chamber of Commerce is a Chamber organization operating at a national level, with both direct members and local Chambers as members:

Representing your ideas—and interests—in Washington for nearly a century.

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce is the world's largest business federation representing 3 million businesses of all sizes, sectors, and regions, as well as state and local chambers and industry associations. More than 96% of U.S. Chamber members are small businesses with 100 employees or fewer.

That's very different from Moveon.org's claim that the US Chamber is "run by big oil". The facts have never stopped these guys of course. Noah, etc., you are a liar.

Moveon.org and the Socialists they represent don't like small business. They hate all business, because business represents individual rights, individual initiative, and most importantly - people making their own decisions without their god Obama having a say in it.

History shows that they will start with the big fish like so-called "Big Oil and Coal" and once they're gone they will aim their sights at YOU.

Congratulations and Kudos to the US Chamber for their initiative, and best of luck to you! Businessmen are a persecuted minority in this country.

Murder in the US

In 2011, I calculate the overall US murder rate as 4.6 per 100,000 population. But if you recalculate this, and assumed that black men murdered at the same rate as everyone else, the overall rate would drop to 1.9 out of 100,000 population. That would give the United States the 147th highest murder rate in the world - or, the 60th best. The insane disproportionate murder rate among US blacks is why the overall US murder rate seems so high. I don't understand why liberals refuse to talk about this. I don't understand why blacks refuse to talk about this. Blacks are just as often the victim as the offender - almost SIXTY PERCENT of murder victims in the US are black. Shouldn't they care about this? Where are Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton to talk about this? Yet they are silent. And it's not like this is any secret. This culture of violence, abuse of women, and plain thuggery is paraded around daily in pop music. It's glorified on TV shows like "

The Root of Violent Extremism

We are too flippant about writing off violent extremists as "crazy", "psychopathic", etc. Just because *we* have a hard time conceiving of doing violence to others, does not mean that those who do are insane. Hitler was not insane. Hitler was evil. There is a distinction. To be insane, to be "crazy", means you cannot understand the difference between right and wrong. People like Hitler, like ISIS, these people are *evil*. They have, in what they believe to be a rational process, *chosen* to embrace a death-worshipping morality. Such thinking is going to lead us down wrong alleys in dealing with violent political extremism. Unless we understand the various reasons why such people embrace philosophies of death, we cannot combat the root causes and defeat violent extremism. Obama's "they need jobs" is a juvenile approach at this. But you simply cannot ignore and dismiss the reality of life in the countries that are the flash-points

The Moral Inversions of Barack Obama

The purpose of government is to protect our rights, our individual liberty. Yet Barack Obama has turned our government into a tool to destroy the very concepts of individuals, rights, and morality. Wall Street Bailout - companies that recklessly gambled with financial instruments they didn't understand, were rewarded with hundreds of billions of dollars of bailouts. Banks that were responsible and did not have problems, were forced to take government money and be subjected to government control anyway, and paid a price for bailout money that they didn't need. States bailout - left-wing states such as California and Illinois which boast large welfare apparatus and progressive taxation, are the hardest-hit by the recession because their tax structures are set up to punish the wealthy, and in a recession the wealthiest are the ones who get hit the hardest. In California, the powerful public employees unions have engineered outrageous pensions and salary increases, while around the
