Parapundit discovers that 130 000 US soldiers have suffered brain damage in Iraq and Afghanistan. This is far too high a price. We have to defeat Islam, but cannot do it this way. We have use methods that inflict much higher costs on Islam, at much lower cost to ourselves.
Like Hell There’s No Inflation
Business Insider tells us: Post Raisin Bran goes from 2.50 to 3.00 per box at Walmart. My favorite yogurt goes from .50 to .58 each at Walmart. Cherry tomatoes go from 4.98 to 5.98 per package. Walnuts go from 9.98 to 13.98 per bag at Sam’s. Bottom round goes from 2.48 to 2.68 per pound at Sam’s. Al Dente tells us What was once purchased for weekly meals at the supermarket for under $100, now exceeds $120. We have cut …
Hyperinflation coming, but not soon
There is a lot of ruin in a nation. Glen Bleck predicts catastrophic instant inflation completely collapsing the currency and government in a single two week crisis. That is not the way hyperinflation happens. Hyperinflation consists of a series of hyperinflationary crises. In a hyperinflationary crisis, the value of money falls abruptly, typically to two thirds, half or a third of its previous value. The collapse occurs so suddenly that by the time most people realize that the hyperinflationary crisis …
How dumb is Obama?
Obama is an affirmative action president. Affirmative action people are always stupid, incompetent, and corrupt. Is Obama stupid, incompetent and corrupt? For corruption, observe that the infamous regulatory revolving door between Goldman and the Treasury continues to spin, even after the wall street financial system imploded, and similarly between Soros and the DoE. Perhaps Bush II was as corrupt as Obama, but Obama’s corruption is more conspicuous. As for stupidity – well clearly, he is a lot smarter than the …
Britain goes totalitarian
Sean Gabb, speaking very carefully to avoid saying things he could be arrested for, tell us: Without thinking very hard, I can remember how Nick Griffin of the British National Party stood trial for having called Islam “a wicked vicious faithâ€. I can remember how a drunken student was arrested and fined for telling a policeman that his horse looked “gayâ€. I can remember how a man was arrested and charged and fined for standing beside the Cenotaph and reading …
The party of the state
The number of federal workers earning $150,000 or more a year has doubled in the two years since President Obama took office Update: Bill however argues this is less alarming that it seems: The big jump in % over $150K is all from the fact that the GS scale maxed out less than $150K in 2005 and over $150K in 2010. It’s totally mechanical, an incident of drawing the line at $150K.
Hyperinflation
Officially, America has near zero inflation and a mere ten percent official unemployment. Odd that it has a mere ten percent unemployment when the proportion of young adult males with jobs has dropped a lot more than ten percent. As with third world and Marxist countries, the government’s reaction to bad news is to declare a new era of prosperity. The recession is officially over. With an unprecedented proportion of the workforce on the government payroll, productivity has officially risen …
Jihad watch reports Obama is Muslim
Jihad watch reports on the anointed one’s visit to India: Obama is visiting … a Muslim shrine. He has no plans to visit any holy places of the Sikhs (such as the Golden Temple, Amritsar), or any Hindu holy places, Buddhist holy places, or Jain holy places. Nor does he plan to visit Nariman house, the Chabad house in Mumbai that was the chief target of the jihad mass-murderers who killed 173 people in November 2008. India is majority Hindu. …
Yes, Obama is a Muslim.
I doubt Obama believes in anything, not in God, not even the evidence of the senses – but to be officially a Muslim, you have to publicly pronounce the Shahada: “There is no God but Allah, and Mohammed is his prophetâ€. Obama did as a child, and recently repeated in public as an adult. To cease to be a Muslim, you have to publicly reject that proposition, which he has not done, or publicly accept a contrary proposition, such as …
Yet another vote for European style Social Democracy
As Europe collapses, Americans vote to be like Europe. The republicans now have control of the purse strings, and, among other things, have promised to reduce next years deficit from $1470 000 000 000 to $1370 000 000 000. We are in a bus heading towards a precipice at seventy miles and hour, and the republicans promise to slow down to sixty five miles an hour. Any tea party candidate that made vague noises in the general direction of doing …
