Wall Street Journal slams the diseased Democrats and “Hugo” Obama “Chavez”.
Friday, June 26, 2009
Obama is the United State’s Hugo Chavez. And an ignorant, oily, blowhard who had only two things going for him. He appealed to the treacherous, Castro and Islamo fascist hugging Leftists in the Democrats Party. He is going to reduce Americans to a living nightmare and this is all too transparent in his ‘policies’.
If anyone else did what he and the lying club of socialist cultists are perpetrating, they’d be thrown into prison. And, if anyone else has done what central banks have perpetrated, and what successive Victorian Cabinets have committed, and what Rudd, Swann and Penny Wong are bringing down, they’d be thrown into a prison cell and the key thrown away down the sewer, lost forever. Sadly, in Australia, the Right has done much to advance criminal ‘policies’.
I cannot but laugh each time I hear Costello boast of how he and his fellow Liberal Party wreckers have fought for Liberty. The joke is funnier when recollecting Costello’s and Michael Kroger’s account of their heroic actions as undergraduates against the hard left. ‘Airbrushing’ isn’t a good look for these two slimes. Let’s recount the historical facts, just for a jolly good belly laugh; it’s Friday after all.
When Peter was an undergraduate, he started out as a member of the Monash University ALP club. He was no Liberal then, and he is no Liberal today. Other ALP members of the club called him names, because, at a good estimation, Peter couldn’t get his way. This was unfortunate, because he and his pal Kroger inflicted themselves on the Liberal Party.
Peter cried crocodile tears and complained to ALP machine heavies, and demanded they spank the Party poopers. The gown-ups gave him a hanky and told him to nick off. He did. At a boozey ’stooodent ooonion’ barbecue of a piss up, the ALP club members gave Costello and Kroger what for, for being a pair of whining cretins who couldn’t get their own way and then ratting. The Liberal ’stoodent ooonion’ Party welcomed them because, no doubt, they recognised in these two brats types just like themselves, and its been that way ever since.
So, Costello and Kroger airbrushed what did transpire. Every Leftist heavy knows it and rolls about laughing each time it is told; an oldie but it’s still one of their favourite jokes.
The Costello-Kroger version is that they were not only engaged in hard intellectual war against the Left, but they risked life and limb. It was real, old fashioned physical violence. They were the equal to someone who literally risked his life against genuinely violent, hard Left thugs, B.A. Santamaria.
Not to be outshone, The HR Nicholls Society held a dinner commemorating the fall of the Berlin Wall, how they destroyed it all by themselves. Oh, darn, Kroger and Costello are founding members of that club of buffoons. Yet, there is genuine competition between them. Unbelievable. Oh, competition in what? The heroism stakes, that’s what:
In a speech to the HR Nicholls Society - why do they bother, they all blather the same rubbish. Oh, I know, each likes to be a star and outshine Lord Olivier or Sir John Gielgud. What are two great Shakespearean actors against the poise and dramatic voices of The Village Idiots Vaudeville Troupe?
Ah yes, in said speech, David Kemp praised the heroism of his fellow, ‘gung-ho’, battle hardened combat warriors but managing to point himself up as the best of them. He is outstanding. Here it is, readers, in black and white:
Tenth Anniversary Conference, The Occasional Address, David Kemp
I am honoured to have been invited by Ray Evans to speak to this tenth anniversary dinner of the H.R. Nicholls Society…
It has been a particularly satisfying Society to belong to, not merely because it has had such remarkable success with its agenda of reform—though some here may think that success has so far been inadequate—but because it creates such consternation among one’s political opponents when they discover that you are a member of the H.R. Nicholls Society.
In the Parliament it still causes that frisson of fear to ripple around the Labor benches.
It gives me the same thrill as barracking for Carlton in the Collingwood stand at Victoria Park.
It is hard to believe that the Society is an organisation which holds peaceful seminars and publishes papers.
After all, no seminar group could have the apparent influence, and blanch so effectively the face of any ACTU Executive member as the H.R. Nicholls Society did. And still does today. It gives me great delight to wear my H.R. Nicholls Society tie into the House of Representatives, and wave it at poor old Martin Ferguson and Simon Crean…
It has been the awareness of that response by those who have defended the system of privilege and elite power supported by the ACTU that has made the H.R. Nicholls Society such a fearsome and feared opponent. But even a debate where victory for one side may be written in the stars cannot be won without champions, and it has been the courage of those who founded this Society and pressed ahead with the case for freedom in the workplace, who rightly receive our praise at this tenth anniversary conference.
That, readers, is only one of many reasons why the hard Left call the Right “pompous asses” and on this count let’s finish Kemp off properly. In the speech he boasted of millions of Australians are reverently and eternally grateful to them, and for representing them. Yes, so successful and so respected, and the “silent majority” such obedient serfs to this lot that they picked up their pitchforks and booted them out of office in 2007.
The Left not only roll about laughing at this lot, they send them up to their faces. Kemp believes hard leftists tremble at his approach, and sweat fear when they see the HR Nicholls Society’s badge of courage pinned to his chest. Now, as every jester knows only too well, the thing to do to conceited, humourless, dim-witted clowns whose bravery consists of holding an office by which they can freely intimidate others is to ham it up.
Jesters approach such types mimicking all the signs of fear Kemp claims to see in Leftist heavies. You know the trick:
The jester drops/tightens the jaw; squints the eyes, trembles the lips, and drops a knee to effect the cowed and beaten look.
Naturally, timing is everything. It is essential to launch it on a stage with a large audience present; this requisite is guaranteed in Parliament House. It definitely works, I vouchsafe it because I’ve pulled it myself: the pompous ass in question was deaf to the titters and laughter of an appreciative audience.
Now, it’s horrible to do this, to relate the bare, cold truth. However, and the duty pains me, it is time to disabuse Kemp of his heroic fantasies. Ditto, his brother Robert Kemp, who would during the Howard years, with a Coalition majority in the Senate, swagger in, sneer and make ad hominem cracks against the Left’s Senators. This was Senator Robert Kemp’s notion of fighting the Left, argument and debate. Otherwise his speeches were typical of the Right, numbingly vacuous.
When it was clear the Liberal Party was gone, and it was plain by 2005 they were defeated in the 2007 election, there was a happy note to the disaster caused by that lot. I took a bet on:
On the first day of the new, Left dominated Senate with an ALP President, Robert Kemp would swagger in as usual, throw out his usual loud-mouthed sneers, cheap cracks and general abuse and, the ALP would joyfully commence humiliating him, roused on by a chorus of hilarity.
He delivered in good form and they did. The President let Kemp sling a few lines and then told him to shut up and sit down. When Kemp opened his gob again, the Senator gave him another bollocking. It took the wind right of Kemp, and his smug smile fell faster than led and he couldn’t hide deep in the leather fast enough from the ALP senators rolling about in their seats laughing uncontrollably.
Gad it was hilarious and, best of all folks, the Right that hold all Victorian seats in the Senate give the Left a good laugh each day it sits, a belly-aching laugh. It is hilarious listening to that lot because they really believe they are inflicting pain. Ah, they are, laughter can be painful. Helen Kroger excels at inflicting pain:
“Can the Minister guarantee the armed forces will receive their slouch hats this year?”
Now, I was crumpled up as it was but then I caught a snatch of this genius saying:
“And undies.”
It’s very difficult, readers, listening when the listener is drowning out the speaker. But I caught another word, “socks”. Some readers can recollect that in relating how the Kroger gang did the routine (Helen’s ‘candidacy’ for the seat was rubber stamped by the branch selection committee), I stated with certainty that in the Senate she would leave the script she’s told to parrot and, believing herself formidable, open her mouth and the House would collapse in a gale.
The retarded cretin is so dense that as one no-nonsense, restrained silver-back said, “When she enters a room, the heating has to be turned up.” I dispute the gentleman’s claim. It is, uncommonly unfair of him to the lady and her talent. Chivalry demands she be praised fulsomely, to the hilt of her gifts. Helen Kroger ices polar ice caps and plunges the tundra into the winter freeze.
Wall Street Journal slams the diseased Democrats and “Hugo” Obama “Chavez”.
The article:
Democrats off-loading economics to pass climate change bill
WSJ, 26/06/09
Change a few names and it could be the WSJ knifing the CIS and Greg Lindsay.
There is one problem in the article that blunts the proper evisceration of carbon taxes:
The hit to GDP is the real threat in this bill…
The consumption fallacy. There is no consumption before production. Concern over how much it will cost consumers not only understates by a tremendous factor the cost of carbon taxes but misses the essential point. Business spending is 2/3 of total spending, this is the crucial figure and it squares with what should be obvious. Before consumption can occur, consumption goods have to be produced, and before this can be done, capital goods have to be produced and this is not a single stage matter either -
Capital goods to produce capital goods. Capital goods for capital goods to produce raw materials to be converted into materials needed for fabrication of capital goods.
Carbon taxes destroys this complex production structure. Once this is destroyed, where on earth are consumption goods to be obtained, from elves?
It should be transparent. After all, companies work with this every day but what do we see palmed off as sound economics in the mainstream? Nothing about capital. It, apparently, just exists. Accordingly, economic activity is at best two phased - final capital goods and consumption goods, and yet even this silliness begs the question.
It is the garbage the Right and the CIS and IPA have pumped out in the name of economic theory and analysis. Making it funnier is when the IPA’s and CIS’ claim to be free market think tanks and warriors because the claim means capitalism and these two clunker tanks are blanks.
Best of all, the CIS claims to be expert s on Hayek, but this means Austrians school economists. It means Austrian school capital theory and they don’t have a clue about it at all. Their scribblings vividly demonstrates this fact, sharpened by the sheer infantile, unadulterated muck their ‘output’ is. They are on the same planet as the HR Nicholls Society, the planet of organ grinder monkeys.
The WSJ committed a bad mistake in an otherwise good article. It lets those who are about to wreak great carnage off the hook. On the Australian scene, it is one of many reasons why the hard Left are on top, and why the Greens are beginning to eclipse the Liberal Party as a major Party - certainly in Victoria. That is the rotten, hard fact of the matter; the Greens can be destroyed on the count of capital theory alone and what do we see from the Right
1. Stupidity reinforced by ignorance and half wits pretending to be economists. No bloody clue at all.
2. The Right supports the Greens cult and carbon taxes. Two of their starlets are Malcolm Turnbull and and one of Kroger young tyro toadies, Greg Hunt, as the rubbish they spout makes very plain. Liberals, defenders of the Free Market… lying thugs need to corrupt language.
This is what pretends to be warriors for Liberal causes, for the free market cause. And now we have Greg Lindsay and his CIS baboons and monkeys campaigning for carbon taxes. Oh yes, Lindsay, the questions over the reasons for this treachery are doing the rounds. Donors cutting off the ‘philanthropy’ is a pretty a good indication of how irritated various types are becoming.
The not trivial matter of GDP aside, the rest of the article is not bad, and this paragraph nails an error by correcting it:
The reality is that cost estimates for climate legislation are as unreliable as the models predicting climate change. What comes out of the computer is a function of what politicians type in. A better indicator might be what other countries are already experiencing. Britain’s Taxpayer Alliance estimates the average family there is paying nearly $1,300 a year in green taxes for carbon-cutting programs in effect only a few years.
Cost estimates, as ‘climate modeling’ and, indeed, ‘economic’ modeling, is a futile exercise. The only predictor of what can unfold is solid economic theory. To repeat, Mr. Jackson of Brookesnews has laid it out from within an elegant, solid, impregnable body of theory the economic force of carbon taxation. He has not asserted estimates of costs and this is the correct thing. The evidence rolling in confirms the explanatory power and conclusions from sound theory. That evidence shows:
1. Carbon taxes have already caused tremendous destruction of capital
2. From 1, very many around the world are being made poorer, forced destitution is erupting as employees are thrown out of paying jobs because companies have been destroyed by carbon taxation.
3. The destruction of capital is compounding, unsurprisingly, as politicians persist with this savage crime against millions of firms and people. That, even without Obama imposing by totalitarian decree even more savage carbon taxes, unless stopped, many face a nightmare of a future. But Obama, and Kevin Rudd, Wayne Swann, Penny Wong, Peter Garrett, Bob Brown, Malcolm Turnbull, Greg Hunt, and the rest of the Green Cult worshiping Right are bent on ramming down carbon taxers. Not to overlook their record:
4. The Left and the Right in Victoria have already rammed down carbon taxation and they are causing real damage.
5. In Federal Parliament, the Right imposed carbon taxes in the form of ‘alternative energy’ frauds. One of these frauds, ethanol production, is destroying agricultural production in other countries.
6. The Right, and not only the Left, want to expand ethanol production. This means stealing vast amounts of capital from Australians and destroying food production in Australia. The Costello-Kroger trumpeter, Andrew Bolt abuses his employer the Herald Sun and it’s readers by running propaganda for this starvation causing carbon tax - a violent criminal action is what it is.
Greg Lindsay and the Right spin the lie, subsidised entities are real businesses. A business is a market formation for the production of goods demanded. Entities set up on subsidies are not market formations at all. They are scams. The alternative energy schemes are not only scams. They are also carbon taxes destroying real capital in real firms that are economically efficient producers of energy, food, capital goods and all sorts of consumer goods.
7. The Right and the CIS have joined in the aim to destroy sound firms. David Kemp was one of the Right-wing Ministers who did much to bring this savagery about, as Minister of Voodoo the Environment:
8. David Kemp imposed extensive measures demanded by diseased Leftists and the fanatical, violent Greens. This idiot has the nerve and the gall to declare in public that he has fought the hard, diseased Left, and that he is the terror of the Left.
The Left do not merely laugh at this stupid bastard. The Left also acknowledge how well David Kemp served them as a Minister.
David Kemp’s record as a Liberal Party Minister reduces to:
- He’s betrayed the Liberal Party and helped his pals wreck it. The Victorian Division is finished, kaput, doesn’t exist, shot stone cold dead and buried some years ago by the Right. This is besides the work they did in preparing to usurp the inalienable Rights and backed Bracks and Brumby on completing this and this is only a couple of items of their thuggery in Victoria.
- With his HR Nicholls Society mates, Kemp is also culpable for the destruction of the campaign for free labour markets.
- They blew the Liberal Party out of the 2007 election waters and not in 2007. This success was complete by 2005!
- A Minister who never served modest Australians but, with his pals, the Right and the clunker tanks, has regarded modest Australians with undisguised contempt:
Smelly serfs to be abused and dictated to, taxed, punished.
This bastard has the hide to boast of how he has defended Liberty. And, this is what is the current President of the Victorian Division of the Liberal Party.
It is no longer the Victorian Liberal Party. It is the Right-wing clique, Toorak Brahman - Doctors’ wives Party, headed by Clique Party boss Michael Kroger. That’s why the real membership has plummeted from around 30,000 to at best 1,000.
Choke on all of the above, Greg Lindsay, you treacherous, craven, gutless shit shoveler. The good news is, Greg Lindsay wears an attachment. It is an irremovable growth on his neck.
It is a monkey. It is Lindsay’s pet. It is paid for by Ron Manners. Its name is Bongo Drongo. Bongo Drongo is ape-speak for, John Humphreys. For the first time in my life I’ve enjoyed visiting a zoo and hadn’t realised it is a real zoo, and in Sydney! It is the CIS. Bonga, Bonga! Oo, oo, ooo!
