THE CIRCUS AND THE ZOO: IN REAL LIFE


The name of my blog is The Circus and The Zoo. We have watched the circus for the past years now (my blog originated in October of 2012). As of today, we will get to watch the zoo. Yes, I said THE ZOO. Because that is what this will be. All of those politicians are now crouched in fear behind bars.

Why you ask? Well, because they forgot what their positions are. They are ‘REPRESENTATIVES’. Hired or elected to represent the people living in our nation. They lost that responsibility long ago. They became profiteers. Carpetbaggers and scalawags pilfering and robbing American citizens for their own greedy reward.

There was a time not long ago where we had ‘Statesmen’. People elected (from both genders) to be orators and diplomats. Representing the ideas and thoughts of their countrymen (and women). That is no longer the case. Now the so called representatives represent only the wealthy or the causes that pay them the most. It is a system of bribery and extortion.

I will not be supporting the illegitimate representatives attempting to control the White House, the Capitol and our Nation. The people of the United States (a significant number of them) had serious doubts about the veracity of our election. Rightfully so. Instead of honestly confronting and investigating those legitimate concerns of the people, they instead decided to ignore, conceal or lie about the instances exposed by whistleblowers throughout the country.

So therefore, now they have forcefully taken over the nation and they hide behind steel bars and our military. This will not fly for long. We are a Republic based on Freedom and Liberty. We represent Justice. Which has also been swept under the table by our own Department of Justice, our nationwide law enforcement agency, the Federal Bureau of Investigation and our international defense agency, the Central Intelligence Agency.

So I will not make the same mistake I made during the last Democrat betrayal. There will be no ‘healing-give-them-a-chance’ moment. We were betrayed twice already and we will not be betrayed again. They have no intention of fair governance. They have no intention of inclusiveness. They have no intention to defend our Constitution and our Bill of Rights. And they have no respect for our Declaration of Independence.

Protect your families. Peace.

WHY SOCIALISM WILL NEVER WORK – an essay by fj llorente

POPPYCOCK AND THISTLE HI RES sqz

The idiot is never equal to the genius!

There are three reasons why socialism will never work, neither as a philosophy, nor as a viable political system of government.

First, the idiot is never equal to the genius. Socialism assumes we are all equal. We are not. This is why a productive, intelligent person gets paid more than a sloth.

Second, when you compensate the productive, intelligent person, the same as the sloth, you have no incentives for creativity or productivity. In short, the genius will live and perform like the sloth because the rewards will not differ.

And third, much like a democracy, when given the opportunity to advance at the expense of others there is an inherent tendency in human behavior to gravitate toward greed. In a Socialist system you always have to have ‘the distributor‘. This is the one person or group that is given the responsibility to ‘distribute‘ resources. And like many governments and countries today throughout the world, the concept of ‘one for you, and one for me’, soon morphs into ‘half for you, three for me and I’ll sell you another half for a price‘.

The difference between the two systems, Democracy and Socialism, is that with Democracy citizens have the power to change things no matter how diluted the capabilities may sometimes be. In Socialism, you don’t have a vote. You don’t have the right to protest, and you certainly don’t have the right to change the system. You are stuck with the results every time.

All attempts at partial Socialism have failed because the philosophies of Democracy and Socialism are at odds with each other. They are complete opposites and two completely different ways of thinking. They cannot be ‘gracefully merged’ in a social system or political. And they cannot be ‘intertwined’ in an economic system.

Communism is the bureaucratic implementation of Socialism. It augments the Socialist ‘dream‘ with ‘youth brigades’, ‘party elders’, and ‘neighborhood vigilante squads’. It is a forceful extension of the concept of Socialism with a dictatorial bureaucracy built to assure all the servants are abiding by the strict rules of the State. It creates a burgeoning bureaucracy, complex enough to make any bourgeois bureaucrat proud.

It has never been implemented successfully because it is a philosophic, economic and idealistic FAILURE.

And always will be.
