Christopher Fountain, The "Media", Selective Critique and Reaction

Christopher Fountain an Attorney Blogger is typical of the morass of Intellectual-Liberalism.  There isn't rhyme or reason to his practice save reaction.  So on 12/27/12; during his interview on CNN's Starting Point  Christopher Fountain stated that the motive force guiding him to release the addresses of journalist at the Journal News a Suburban New York newspaper was he wanted to "hit back" at the "media" and particularly the Journal News for releasing the names of gun permit holders in it's readership area.

Apropos takes no position on the practicality of the Journal News publishing the identities of gun permit holders in it's readership area.  But what we will focus on is the hypocrisy, inconsistency and Intellectual-Liberalism of the Christopher Fountain's who muddy our national reason with their idealism and it's reaction.

Christopher Fountain a Blogger self-styled "publisher" implied that he is the correcting force to the media that runs roughshod over gun owners vis a vis Conservatives.  This explicit criticism is at the expense of Christopher Fountain himself being a member of the "media" per virtue of his practice as a blogger.  His hypocrisy, inconsistency and Intellectual-Liberalism is pathetically glaring with his admitted "two wrongs" reaction to the Journal News identifying gun permit holders.

This selective critique and it's reaction to the euphemistic "media" by certain elements of national polity as represented by Christopher Fountain serves no other purpose than that of backwardness.  A backwardness that has it's fountainhead in shadows long illuminated by progressive thesis in contrast to reaction and it's recklessness.

Production, It's Means, Labor, "Right To Work", The Intellectual-Liberalism Of Republican-Conservatism and Speculative-Value

We know the history of production and it's means, we know the labor, management historical-narrative and both are diversions and distortions from the real work of what is the redemption of Speculative-Value from the alienation of it's idealistic narrative.  Pursuit and existence of the "Right To Work" idea by Intellectual-liberalism of Republican-Conservatism fits this tactical diversion and distortion.

In order for production, it's means and labor to redeem itself from the distortions of Speculative-Value and the Intellectual-Liberalism of Republican-Conservatism, the world of Political-Economy, it's facts and laws must be stabilized.

Historically revolutions have attempted to secure the stability of Political-Economy, it's facts and laws at the expense of challenging the Intellectual-Liberalism of Conservatism and it's Speculative-Value supposition.  The result of not challenging the Intellectual-Liberalism of Conservatism and it's Speculative-Value suppositions allows Political-Economy inaccuracies to dominate human existence and the sisyphean re-invention of the wheel.

The "Right To Work" push by Intellectual-Liberalism of Republican-Conservatism and its Speculative-Value suppositions, in absence of the necessary polemic to annihilate the "Right to Work" idealism, organized labor and unions should pursue the tactical statutorial position:  That any publically traded company should set aside 49% of it's gross sales specifically for wages and compensatory purposes.  The stress and tensions exerted on the publically traded company dialectic by speculation and Speculative-Value, it's constructed obligations and anticipations are the source of Political-Economy instability which unionization of organized labor is up against.

With 49% of gross sales set aside for wages and compensations.  Production, it's means and labor will not be short changed due to the constructed obligations and anticipations of speculation and speculative value.

People Nor Guns Kill, Bullets Do and The Second Amendment

Contrary to easy way out reasoning, people nor guns kill, bullets do.  The Second Amendment of The U.S. Constitution is complete and fundamental in all respects.  It secures us the right to gun ownership.  Due to antagonisms in American society gun misuse is a existential-debilitating fact.  In consequence, responses set sights on the Second Amendment reactively.

We at Apropos state this: Gun ownership is a right, but the State should license possession of bullets.  The manufacturing of bullets should require individual bullet casings are embossed with lot identification.  The bullet license is specifically for purpose of gun misuse and retracing the history of the bullet to the licensed buyer.  Licensing and ability to retrace the history of a criminally misused bullet is the least intrusive and compromising of the Second Amendment as the State balances it's duty to the security and safety of it's citizens.

Barack Obama Reelected President Of The United States, Republican-Conservatism Severely Trounced and Speculative-Value and It's Distortions

On Nov 6, 2012; Barack Obama (D) was reelected President of the United States by defeating Mitt Romney (R) in a Electoral College landslide and also winning the Popular vote.

Apropos the Blog of Political-Economy stands in solidarity and witness to the reelection.

Speculative-Value, Political-Economy, Money and It's Currency Means Is A Result Of Government and Governance

What Speculative-Value, It's speculators, the Intellectual-Liberalism of anti-deficit, governmental spending critique ignore is this: When we return to the primitive basics of Political-Economy and money and it's currency means is removed from the Human Condition.  What we find is an absence of the investor class or venture capitalist as deceptively currently described by the Intellectual-Liberalism of Republican-Conservatism, job creators.  Because in the absence of money and it's currency means, the realization of value in the Human Condition is by the producer and creator-inventor class or farmers and artisans. This class and it's social-activity objectifies value by it's productivity.  For example the farmer produces food, the cattle rancher domesticates cattle for human consumption, the artisan creates and manipulates metal.  All this activity appears and happens in the absence of money and it's currency means.

Money and it's currency means happens as a specific mechanism to facilitate stability of expressed relations, conveying produced value in the Human Condition.  What this means is the emergence of money and it's currency means occurs when government or governance is developed.  So with the appearance of money and it's currency means do we see the emergence of speculative-value, speculators, the investor class or venture capitalist as Political-Economy phenomena fact in the Human Condition, specifically to profit.

The fundamentals of the Human Condition as we find it is the producer and artisan-inventor class interacting directly with the natural material environment without money and it's currency means objectifying value.

The creation of money, it's currency means is a result of government and governance and not in spite of it.  Speculative-Value, speculators, the investor class or venture capitalist contrary to the sophistry of Republican-Conservatism and it's Intellectual-Liberalism owe their existence to government and governance. What this means is the anti-government critique as formulated by Republican-Conservatism and it's various stooges is simply a diversionary gambit and a distortive tactic to win elections.

Jake Tapper of ABC News, The Vote and His Purported Professional Ethic

Jake Tapper of ABC News has said he doesn't vote in national election because he wants to be objective and uninfluenced in his reporting and journalism.  This position and it's sophistry is indicative of the pretentiousness squeezing the credibility and objectivity out of corporate media.

The Stooge Vivek Wadhwa and American Material

The author stooge Vivek Wadhwa, a Duke University Professor in his new book Exodus: Why immigrants are returning home, continues that paternalistic sophistry, the supposition that America as material object is realized opportunity and the world's educated should immigrate to it's shores at the expense of the corruption and backwardness of their natal homelands.

Seldom does the paternalism advanced by stooge Vivek Wadhwa critique the state of the human condition, the relations with the rest of the world's nations from the point that the internationalist nature of American Political-Economy has everything to do with the corruption and backwardness of the developing and underdeveloped world which is then conveniently utilized as polemic justifying immigration to the exceptionalism which is America as material object.

The mental labor of the likes of the stooge Vivek Wadhwa would do us good were the critique honestly directed at those sets of relations being exploited by American Political-Economy in opposition to the positive development of the developing and undeveloped world.

Because in the absence of such critical honesty the nature of our developed American exceptionalism is always at  the mercy of the paternalist hypocrisy spewed by the one dimensional gibberish by the likes of the stooge Vivek Wadhwa.

The Republican Party, Conservatism, The Obama Administration and American Power

This contemporary Republican Party and it's practice of Conservatism has a stupid and reckless way of critically dumbing down politically  anything their political opposition does.  So what we now have after the recent 9/11/12; attack on the U.S. Libya embassy and killing of Ambassador Chris Stevens and 3 other support staffers by supposed Libyan partisans is the Republican Party and Congressional Republican making the Intellectual-Liberal argument that anti-American protest and embassy breeches in the Middle-East are happening because extremist are not scared of America, with inference that the Obama Administration has weakened and diminished American power and might.

This begs this when are radicals, extremist, rebels ever scared of the status quo and it's organized violence?

So the position of these opportunistic Republicans is the Taliban and Al Qaeda slaughter of U.S. military forces in Afghanistan and Iraq is happening because U.S. military force isn't scary enough?  The tortures at Abu Ghraib, Bagram Base Guantanamo Bay and renditions  to C.I.A secret sites are not moral hazards enough to dissuade rebellion?  Have attacks on American interest nationally and internationally i.e.Oklahoma City and U.S.S. Cole occurred because the perpetrators thought twice about American Power? The U.S .S. Cole was a war ship, a war machine, the epitome of organized violence and relative power yet it was attacked.

The response Congressional Republicans and their opposition to the policies of the Obama Administration present is per virture of their opposition to the Obama Administration anything and everything happening under it's tenure has to be viewed through an antagonistic prism.

So American governance in the 21st century as strategized by the Republican Party and its Intellectual-Liberalism is the reckless dictatorship of Conservatism.

Charity, Winnipeg, Canada, Shoes, Mayor Sam Katz and Superficial Act Of Humaness

What is wrong with the human condition that a Winnipeg, Canada bus driver's recent charity of giving his shoes to a barefoot homeless person is seen as representing compassion, goodness and all the aspirational idealistic heights of the human condition.

Instead of celebrating the Winnipeg, Canada bus driver's act of giving his shoes to a barefoot homeless person as Mayor Sam Katz would have us do we should rather collectively be ashamed that the human condition we have created and constructed has resulted in homelessness and the need for others to donate their shoes to others.

A civilized society isn't measured by the idealistic and superficial individual acts of humaness.  Instead it should be objectified by the actuality of a national infrastructure that provides the basic essentials for it's citizens to function without the tyranny and intrusions of idealistic and superficial individual act of humaness.

If the Intellectual-Liberalsim of Republican-Conservatism is to be taken on it's word that we are beholden to none other than ourselves, then the ideas of charity, compassion and conditional social safety nets are intellectually dishonest and hypocritical.  Because who then is the arbiter of who is deserving and needy of charity and compassion, save the tyranny of ones presumtions, biases and suppositions.  Which in practice becomes a tyrannical perverse triage.

So if we advocate and defend the human condition as that of free and informed people then it's realization requires access to basic resources essentially necessary for primary function and if society is to be a just and honest one will only be provided by the collective us.

The practice of charity as compassion, charity as goodness, charity as humaness is a reactionary construct specifically in the employ of Speculative-Value and it's antagonisms.

We polemicize in contra.

Privacy, Kate Middleton Baring Her Breast and The Tower Of London

The Question of privacy should hinge on proximity, it is reactionary and modernly illiterate for Kate Middleton and her husband to suppose and assume entitled to privacy when the supposed entitlement of privacy actually is a gradation of proximity.

Privacy is an awareness of subjective proximity so we state:  Kate Middleton should have had the presence of mind that in the age of digitalized technology, her topless sunbathing nudity which by the way is observable from satellites in orbit cannot claim a presumptive privacy defended by the utility, The Tower Of London claimed in its hey day.

"Fighting Injustice", "A Global Force For Good" A Perversion of Military Purpose and The Constitution Of The United States

When A nations Military uses slogans like "Fighting Injustice" as the Marines are currently doing or the Navy's "Global Force For Good", the nations decline and dilution of it's motive force is in hand basket mode.

Dwight D. Eisenhower lectured us about the nefarious cabalistic collusion of the military and for profit corporate interest.  Because as soon as Industrial Value-Speculation becomes the motive for association with a nations military and it's production of organized violence, a perspective perversion of military purpose occurs and the most crass of straw grasping justification begins to assail the national sensibilities.

So we find justification of production of organized violence and it's trillions dollar national deficit in slogans like "fighting Injustice" or "A Global Force For Good" that have nothing to do with the National Defense mandate dicta of the Constitution Of The United States but everything to do with Industrial Value-Speculation.

Ronald Reagan, Republican-Tea Party, Bob Woodward, Barack Obama, The National Debt and The Intellectual-Liberalism Of Reaction

How many times have we heard the criticism that even Ronald Reagan would be unwelcome in today's Republican-Tea Party.  So if Ronald Reagan, of whom the Intellectual-Liberalism of Republican-Conservatism/Tea Partyism apotheosizes isn't,  wouldn't be reactionary enough, intransigent enough for today's Republican-Tea Party.  On what objective critique is the great Bob Woodward concluding his leadership criticism of President Barack Obama as being lacking during the 2011 National Debt gambit wrought by the Philistines of the Republican-Tea Party in his recent for profit book, The Price Of Politics.

If Bob Woodward expects us to bestow sagism and that ephemeral intellectual value, objectivity on his works, then his mental labor ought to reflect such.  Instead of the conventional easy way out perspective of over simplification, which despite the consequential gravity of pro forma petty events, the Intellectual-Liberalism of reaction elevates into crisis.

Claiming as Bob Woodward does in his book The Price Of Politics that Barack Obama should have, was obligated to have solved the gorgon knot intransigence of congressional Republicans and their Tea Party stooge during the 2011 National Debt gambit is quite frankly naive and idiotic.  The entire 2011 National Debt Crisis was a gambit of choice by the Republican Party and it's Tea Party stooge to terroristically exact it's Intellectual-Liberal demands from Barack Obama, the Democrats and the American people.  Would Bob Woodward rather have Barack Obama declare and wage war on the third of the U.S.Government?  (Congressional Republicans and their Tea Party stooge).

An objective critique of the 2011 National Debt gambit would be explaining the sequestration ploy as a moral hazard designed specifically to compel congressional Republicans and their Tea Party stooge to compromise with Barack Obama, Democrats and the American people on the prospective elements of the National Debt.

Bob Woodward fails his posterity.  He leaves us wondering that if he represents the elite of the nations intelligentsia then it isn't surprising that the National Political-Economy is in the feckless quandary of the idealism of suppositions and one dimensional critique as consequence of the supremacy of the Intellectual-Liberalism of reaction.

Barack Obama And Does He Truly Believe That Ronald Reagan Was Good For The Nation

Does Barack Obama truly believe that Ronald Reagan was good for the nation and represented the just side of history narrative?  Because Barack Obama has quoted and referenced Ronald Reagan enough for the question to be raised that what might have seemed as a tactical maneuver by Barack Obama squaring the Intellectual-Liberalism of the Political-center and it's embrace of the Ronald Reagan mystification during his quest for the Presidency could be a sincere imperative and world view practically held by Barack Obama.

The reality is Ronald Reagan has always been an insidious and reactionary force in American politics.  Representing the opportunistic and unjust historicity of the Human Condition.  Activities from his early State Informer betraying his Screen Actors compatriots, through his Facist use of state organized violence against dissent during his stint as Governor of California, while single handedly being responsible for resurrecting the politics of hate and racism in contemporary American politics and as President effecting the destruction of Unions and Organized Labor.  Ronald Reagan was and has been a destructive force on the national Political-Economy.

So we state with clear eyed rigor, does Barack Obama truly believe that Ronald Reagan was good for the nation and represented the just side of history narrative?

Free Speech, Dan Cathy of Chic-fil-a..And God Said Or The Bible Says and History Will Erect Tombstones

The Implicit activity of free speech is it anticipates antithesis, it recognizes there will be opposition.  Couching theological liberties as free speech is either the work of a lazy and feeble mind or at its very core an effort to reassert idealistic dicta.

Dan Cathy of Chic-fil-a Restaurants as most Republican-Conservatives when confronted with the reactionary nature and backwardness of their thought and world view find refuge under the banner of...and God said or the Bible says.  So when Dan Cathy touched off a recent firestorm with his anti-gay comments, he was quick, along with his supporters and defenders to claim free speech because it was his religious belief and liberty.

The Issue and the problem with... and God said or the Bible says, as free speech is we cannot argue with God, we cannot debate God, even the Devil isn't truly antithetical to God.  So... And God said or the Bible says for purposes of free speech definitions is as idealistic as the notion of "being outside of history" which is what Dan Cathy and his ilk would always demand of the Human Condition and it's dialectical-materialist reality.

The United States Constitution articulates religious freedoms as specifically being without the dicta of the state and its bias.  Free speech is subsequently defined antithetically to religion because free speech is the activity of thought, mental labor.  Religion isn't an idea to its believers, it's rather a suspension, suppression, and repression of ideas, it frowns on the activity of free speech.

So for the very elements, free speech warns us against to conceal their reactionary practice under its mantle hints at two occurrences, either we have become militantly decadent or we have lost the Jacobin edge of polemics.

Dan Cathy, his reaction, and backwardness can and will invoke God as a medium of their idealistic intolerance and history will erect tombstones to their failure.

The Reactionary Intellectual-Liberalism Of Republican-Conservatism and It's Tea Party Stooge, Mitt Romney and What is Government

The Intellectual-Liberalism of Republican-Conservatism and it's Tea Party stooge is revealing itself as the infantile idealism Progressive thinkers and Democrats have always knew it to be.

In response, a squirmy reaction to the blistering and withering ridicule-onslaught on Mitt Romney's activities at Bain Investments and it's type of Capitalist practice, from the Barack Obama Campaign.  Republican-Conservatism finds itself creating a whole new class of society that is not of nor from the middle and lower class but spontaneously appears as privileged job creators.  In it's quagmirely defense of trickle down exploitation practiced by Republican-Conservatism and it's Reaganomics and as rebuttal to the Obama Campaign's polemic that Political-Economy realities are bottoms up phenomena. Republican-Conservatism introduces us to homo jobcreator with a novel social-contract narrative and finds itself walking the plank with the convoluted reasoning that government isn't off, by and for the people but government is something other than people.

So what we have is Erick Erickson editor in chief of redstate.com a foot soldier in the delusions and Intellectual-Liberalism of Republican-Conservatism and it's Tea Party stooge having to deny the quintessential truth that American capitalism exist simply and solely because of the activity of the American Government.

When Progressive Thinkers and Democrats define the world view of Republican-Conservatism as an exercise in Intellectual-Liberalism we highlight it's fascination with the anti-government critique as a fundamental example.  Republican-Conservatism behaves as if every election cycle is a new opportunity to relitigate what is the social contrast as if it is the sole monopolistic arbiter of what is government, it's practice and behavior.

The Barack Obama 2012 Campaign is proving itself to be an adroit and worthy adversary as far as it specifically relates to exposing the fact that Mitt Romney's type of Capitalistic practice at Bain Investments is the legatee of the destructiveness of Ronald Reagan's Reaganomics and the reactionary Intellectual-Liberalism of Republcian-Conservatism and it's Tea Party stooge.

Republican-Conservatism and it's Intellectual-Liberalism Is The Classic Snake Oil Salesman

The World View of contemporary Republican-Conservatism is simply "people are too stupid to get out of their own way".

Because Republican-Conservatism and it's Intellectual-Liberalism can always point to something new, something else as cause of why, for example people don't have jobs.  So if it is't Health Care Reform, (derisively labeled Obamacare) as distraction, it's government if too big or government spending or to many regulations against polluters and exploiters or too much uncertainty (as if the Capitalist mantra of taking risk isn't steeped in uncertainty).

So the reality is the average person is averse and would rather be numbed by the distraction of blame and the therapeutic consolation of the misery loves company dialectic and this is what Republican-Conservatism perfects and it's Intellectual-Liberalism plys as the classic snake oil salesman hop skipping it from one election to the other with the anti-taxes slogan.

The Human Capacity For Delusions, Dwight D. Eisenhower, The Third Reich, Depravity and American Slavery

When we talk about the human capacity for delusions, Dwight D. Eisenhower's World War II comment on the Third Reich's contributed practice in the annals of human depravity to fellow human comes to mind.

Dwight D. Eisenhower reportedly wrote his wife upon the liberation of one of the Third Reich's death camps that he wasn't aware that such cruelty could exist.

The delusional aspect of this comment is: This observation is being made by an American, a White American, a legatee, a beneficiary of the worst example, the most abjectly depraved reality, the most complete practice of human cruelty to fellow human, as it stands the great institution of American Slavery.

Dwight D. Eisenhower is a member of the beneficiary status quo who owe the American narrative to every filthy, depraved, cruel, inhumane, savaged, barbarous, genocidal, monstrous, bestial, pitiful vestige of American Slavery.  What Dwight D. Eisenhower's comment reminds us of is the human capacity for delusions and idealistic anecdotes.

The Third Reich's depravity is just that another annal in the chronicles of human depravity.

If the Third Reich's attempted extermination of it's subjects is basis, a vantage point of critique of the human ability for epochal violence---then it pales in comparism to it's antecedents.

The Genocidal activities of Cecil Rhodes in southern Africa, The Conquistador scourge in the America's.  The Anglo-Saxon conquest of North America and extermination of Tasmanians, The Japanese slaughter of Chinese and Koreans, Belgium's destruction of the Congo and it's people, to name a few.  But the quintessential and fundamental dynamic of the depravity dialectic is the consequence of the tensions, contradictions, antagonisms and Intellectual-Liberalism of Political-Economy polemics of Capitalism and Communism.

If Dwight D. Eisenhower wasn't caught up in the delusions of the classic indulgence: The "others" depravity is always worse---for the purpose of this contra we ressurect Eisenhower.

Republican-Conservatism, It's Intellectual-Liberalism and Black People As Tokens, Symbols, Props and Collaborators

Republicans have strayed so far from their origins, the reason for the Republican Party that contemporary Republican-Conservatism thinks it's problem is a lack of Black people within it's rank and file.

But because of the Intellectual-Liberalism and hypocrisy of that line of analysis, Republican-Conservatism is unable to recognize that it's problem isn't because it lacks plurality of Black people in the Republican Party.  But the way of thinking of contemporary Republican-Conservatism, it's propensity to pursue and elicit the crass and uncouth base of socio-ignorance is diametrically at odds with the world view, aspirations and Political-Economy realities of Black people in America whose primary and fundamental nemesis is the practice of unbridled, unchecked and the unaccountable exploitation of Man by fellow Man.

Pointing to those token Black people in the Republican Party and pursuing Black people simply as symbols, exposes the Intellectual-Liberalism and hypocrisy of Republican-conservatism and the Republican Party that it is aware of it's unjust imperatives and the wrong side of history of it's contemporary polemic.

It also ignores the fact that the aggregate Black community is firmly familiar with those Black people who allow theirself to become tokens, symbols and props for Republican-Conservatism with the simple historical description: Uncle Toms, House Niggers and Collaborators.

Those Black tokens, symbols, props and collaborators of contemporary Republican-Conservatism are the same archetype faces, hearts and minds who initially captured and sold Black America into Slavery and have always collaborated with the application of it's Political-Economy.

The Destructive Narrative Of The National Political-Economy, American Slavery, Contemporary Value-Speculation and What Is Money

Our contemporary narrative and national social reality has realized that penultimate distortion and it's schizophrenia, that even as we are caught sonambulistically in it's quick sand.  We forget the objective facts and cause effects of a National Political-Economy that has long since lost the loco-momentum of it's primitive-capital accumulation, the historic practice of American Slavery accorded it and permitted it.

The practice of contemporary Value-Speculation as a hedge on the National Political-Economy productivity isn't in itself a destructive anomaly, but it is a destructive narrative enabled purely by a national ignorance of what is money.

A resolution of the question what is money will automatically and instantly smash away the Intellectual-Liberalism of Conservatism in all of it's variegated forms.  Value is inherently Liberal, despite the nature of it's existence, value has a liberal imperative because Life as value is a progressive utility.  Liberal, specifically means Progress, which is antithetical to the reaction of Conservatism.

The most basic and clear cut example of the destructive narrative of  the Political-Economy and it's contemporary value-speculation is the assertion that the activity of what is money at the federal level should be akin to the budgetry structure of a mom and pop store or a family at the kitchen table balancing the check book.

This criminal assertion has always been the forte of the mediocrity of Conservatism and it's Intellectual-Liberalism.  It has nothing to do with the progress of the Human Condition, it's Life organism and value.

Simplistically "Good", Alexis Ohanian, Karen H. Klein, Charity As Anti-Taxation Polemic, Absolution, Expiation and Injustice

If the American People are inherently simplistically "good" and charitable as the Co-founder  of
 reddit .com    Alexis Ohanian suggest, there wouldn't be Republican-Conservatives and their Intellectual-Liberalism.

In an attempt to explain the recent Karen H Klein  phenomenon, which reddit.com played a role in her receipt of over $500,000 in donations as a result of her being bullied by 7th graders on a Greece, New York school district bus.  Alexis Ohanian expressed the typical supposition that charity is objectively as a Political-Economy fact good and it's practioners good people.

Charity as an objective fact of American Political-Economy has always been a gambit of self-interest and it continues to fulfill it's primary role as an anti-taxation polemic.  As it applys in the Karen H. Klein phenomenon, where the 68 yr. old Karen H. Klein a grandmother was bullied with nasty cliches of core Americana by 7th graders.  We find once again an inability and unwillingness by the status quo narrative to view a phenomenon as being motivated by something other than myths of society, myths in this context of "good".

America is nihilistic and alienated, irrespective of critique and woldview.  Why people have donated over $500,000 to Karen H. Klein isn't quite inherently simplistically "good" and charitable as suggested by Alexis Ohanian, but it's a means a form of absolution and expiation.  The injustice experienced by Karen H. Klein at the hands of those 7th graders of Greece, New York is core Americana, replicated on a daily basis through out our national social strata.

Whether it's President Barack Obama, Democrats and their mortal struggle with Senator Mitch McConnell and Republicans or the Speculative-Value narrative of Reaganomics and it's War with middle-class public workers or the misery loves company dialectic of the hapless ill informed---the dynamic of injustice is bed rock Americana as the Bill of Rights.

Absolution, expiation and tokens of it's expression are as illogical as the logic of paralysis in the face of injustice which then stimulates the need to absolve oneself and atone for the averted eyes, the sealed lips and failure to pay attention and acquire the information necessary to combat the injustices with which we construct our American values.

The Criticism and Oppositionary Polemic Against Governmental Spending For Social Services and No One Human Owns The Creation Of Value

The criticism and oppositionary polemic against governmental spending particularly for social services and general welfare specifically by Conservative idealism and it's Intellectual-Liberalism has everything to do with subjectivity and supposition.  The criticism and it's polemic doesn't have a basis in objectivity of the Human Condition.

The idea of who is deserving of value in the Political-Economy sense has always been an approximation.  Just as no one human can lay claim to the originality of ideas, no one human owns the creation of value.  The Human Condition and it's valuation mechanism is a fact, an expression of continuum of relations.  The quantum process of an idea emerging is one, no one can claim as progenitor because it's dialectic requires exactly that, an activity of opposite.

Value and it's idea is an object of relations.  Relations that exist for a purpose as defined by need and want.  Seth MacFarlane, the creator of Family Guy explained during a recent Piers Morgan CNN interview, that Hollywood is predominantly Liberal and Progressive because and we paraphrase they create for artistic objectivity.

Conservatism and it's Intellectual-Liberalism on the other hand distorts by denying artistic objectivity as the essence of value and instead deals in Speculative-Value.

If, the Human Condition is to attain it's aspirational zenith this antagonism has to be resolved and the profane simplicity of the criticism and oppositionary polemic against Governmental spending for social services will not enable it.

Revisionist Narrative, The 2003 Invasion Of Iraq By George W. Bush, The Zionist Collaborator Hosni Mubarak and Gov. Jesse Ventura's Polemic Against Empire

Where is the push back from Democrats, serious thinkers and Progressives on this Revisionist narrative that the 2003 invasion of Iraq by George W.

This current claim by the Intellectual-Liberalism of Republican-Conservatism that the toppling of North African dictators and their ouster is evidence of the validity of George W. Bush Iraq War military-adventurism is not only abjectedly pathetic, but it is clear proof of the illegitimacy of the Iraq War because of the startling level to which Apologist, sympathizers of the George W.

Mitt Romney, Business Is For Profit, Job Creation and Revolution As A Specific Type Of Speech

This current debate about Mitt Romney being best suited to be President of the United States because he is an adroit businessman, therefore has this qualitative supposition on job creation has---as of most debates based on Intellectual-Liberalism, wandered far off into the nether plains of American mental labor and as typical of such is mired in the aw shucks Rockwellianism of American Politics.  Meaning it is a sleight of hand in the employ of opportunity and Speculative-value.

First of all the correct purpose-definition of business is for profit.  Easily translated to mean to make money.  No one goes into business with the model or idea pushing employment maximation or job creation.  Employment and job creation as a business corollary is only a means, a tool to maximize profits meaning a businessperson employs people because he/she needs more hands on deck to enable profit realization.

The executive leadership of the Presidency on the other hand is based on an entirely different set of imperatives and it contends with dynamically complex variables that are specifically at odds with the simple business model of for profit specifity.  There is an inherent antagonism in business, which is between managment (ownership) and labor (workers).  An antagonism that cannot be permitted to exist    in a nation, state or society because revolutions and Civil Wars will move into existence.

So if Mitt Romney's claim to the Presidency is based on the antagonism dialectic between managment and labor then the question being posed and presented to the nation is:  Are we ready to reacquaint ourselves with the logic of revolution as a specific type of  speech?

Why Mayor Corey Booker Is Wrong Or Was It A Gambit To Present The Bain Investment Question Lethally

On the 5/20/12; Meet The Press, Mayor Corey Booker criticized both Barack Obama and Mitt Romney campaigns for negative attacks and Mayor Corey Booker naively or in  fait accompli appeasement gambit to seem statesman like and reenergize the Bain Investment question, compared the Barack Obama campaigns scrutiny of Mitt Romney's work at Bain Investment (a private equity firm) to Republican-Conservatism/Tea Partyism hints to resurrect the Rev. Wright controversy against Obama.

Mayor Cory Booker is wrong because he naively fell for the Romney and Republican narrative that attacking Romney's work at Bain Investment is an attack on private equity in general.  But as a gambit to present the Bain Investment question lethally it was classically ingenious.

Romney and Republican-Conservatism/Tea Partyism recognize their weakness on the Bain Investment question so instead of aggressively defending Bain Investment as a singularity, Romney and Republican-Conservatism/Tea Partyism hope to by expanding the Bain question to private equity in general, passive-aggressive anticipate the eager beaver naivete of the likes of Mayor Corey Booker with his inchoate grasp of polemics.  But as gambit, well suited as Trojan Horse to prepare the environment for the sharp and politically mature attacks from the Obama campaign.  It is simple without Booker, Obama wouldn't have had the opportunity to use the NATO platform to distill the campaign's Bain attacks.

The nations national-economy since the first Reagan administration has been eviscerated by the resurgent activity of certain mediocre minds and enabled by the George W. Bush administration.  Who unable to swim in the shark infested canyons of Wall St. chose a more even bet of buying underperforming and undervalued companies, dismembering them specifically for profit, to maximize returns on their principal investment---just as Slave Masters during Slavery some of these private equities were less destructive on the national economic landscape than others.

Bain Investment under the stewardship of Romney fell in the more destructive column and considering the fact Romney has the gall to claim his Bain activities were primarily job creating in his quest for the Presidency.  The Obama campaign is correct in scrutinizing Romney's Bain work and as a gambit it is lethally ingenious to present the Bain question as a Mayor Corey Booker blooper.

John Avalon and Political-Economy Illiteracy, Facebook More Valuable Than McDonald's

John Avalon is corporate media tame and corporate America domesticated and his ignorance and Political-Economy illiteracy was in evidence and on full display on the 5/18/12; CNN StartingPoint with Soledad O'Brien.  When during an interview on Facebook's IPO and Stock valuation, John Avalon uttered the infamous and we paraphrase: Why should Facebook's stock be more valuable than McDonald's (Fast food).

John Avalon wasn't laughed at and ridiculed out of CNN studios which is also quite telling of the unfathomable depths of American Political-Economy illiteracy when a serious  socio-political commentator as John Avalon can be so revealing naive and is not corrected.

By the way the answer to John Avalon's question is simple: where does America spend more time, is it under the Golden Arches of Mcdonald's or the omniscience of their Facebook pages?  America and the rest  of the world have spoken and continued to say that Facebook is infinitely more valuable than Mcdonald's because their time and more of it, their life is spent with it.

During a 3/21/12; interview on CNN's Piers Morgan Howard Schultz CEO of Starbucks critiqued the 2012 elections and it's supposed $6 billion price tag as a waste.  The critique was another rote refrain that money spent for political office and it's speculative power is a waste.

Coming from the CEO of a company Entrepreneur in it's April 2012 issue lauded as one of the 10 most trusted brands in the nation.  Howard Schultz's critique mocks the success of Starbucks and it is alarming in it's naivete.

If the 2012 elections will cost $6 billion.  What it means is $6 billion is being redistributed and contrary to the insidious illiteracy of financial redistribution as an un-Godly, un-American, Marxist scheme, finance (and Joe The Plumber listen up) worships at the alter of redistribution.  The $6 billion in question will immediately and primarily flow into Corporate Media (for ads and the relative means of disseminating political hook, line and sinkers) and the political consultancy industry.  This primary redistribution translates into.  A secondary one within the society impacting it's roots germanely.

Even though viscerally the idea that $6 billion is being spent in pursuit of speculative-power and it's Intellectual-Liberalism insults common sense.  It's critique lies with and is that of morality and it's relativism.

Corporate Media, it's share holders and ancillary support functionaries see a $6 billion boon.  The political consultancy industry sees a wind-fall and mom and pop eateries along the less traveled roads of battle-ground states are as those Nile Crocodiles lurking in African rivers on the bi-annual animal migrations: blacking out the red of the preceeding lean 3 years with what their take out and counter tops collect.

Considering Starbucks has been a beneficiary of election financial-transmigratory, redistribution and will be during the 2012 election and it's purported $6 billion tag.  It is ridiculously disingenuous for Howard Schultz CEO of Starbucks to critique financial redistribution so recklessly.

America: it was land of the brave, home of the free---till creaky, rat infested ships made it's shore and lice borne, scurvy maddened, petty tyrannical minds breathed it's freshness and with sticky fingers and beady eye glee stole it clean.

So once again it's on like the song vote for me and I'll set you free.  Then the vote was stolen as it once was in Florida and the song blown naked in the air resurrecting "Southern Trees Bear Strange Fruit" gatherings of Tea Partiers damning Lincoln's legacy reposed in the Oval office.

And the sounds once again were made---from the braying donkey to the trumpeting elephant: it was foul, it was fair rang clear and hollow and the silence of the lands hopelessness was the loudest of them all---as eyes that hear, heard it all and insisted their ears had seen it all so what was the use.

So again, like days long gone but fresh to the memory raw instead of settling of accounts the land was abundant with it's forgiveness and understanding.  A forgiveness and understanding never given it when it's sons and daughters stand in the pale of those three strikes you are out,  no parole and mandatory and truth in sentencing laws.

And once again it's on---to feel the sting of the lash and guttural "get back, stay in your place" of the beady eyed smirk cunningly watching to see how well and true you understand that it's the Reagan-Democrat collaborationist, the delusional Independent, the  imbecilic Tea Partiers we will have to get gone if the land is to realize---by your abilities to the limitations of your expectations.

Black Men Dying, Justice, Society and The Memory of Trayvon Martin Killed By George Zimmerman

stopfrisk_june17_DSC_1074 (Photo credit: Michael Fleshman)

We don't have any problem with Black Men dying, whether it's young or seasoned Black Men dying and death is natural and a fact in the general equation of existence.  What we do have a problem with is worthless death and senseless dying.  There has to be order to dying.  What we mean is the currency of life has to be spent in the most dear and exorbitant manner possible, meaning what is charged to spend life must then be the ultimate price to society.

Society demands that we pay the ultimate price which is our lives in an existence that is dictated and governed by circumstances and conditions the machinations of society brings into being---we must therefore respond with, if the proverbial deck as is won't to say is stacked against Black people particularly Black Men then society must, in turn, be held accountable for exacting it's ultimate charge so there will be a coming to terms with society, it's governing status quo and the farcial and hypocritical contention it utilizes in legitimizing it's terror.

Why must Black People, particularly Black Men tolerate the injustice of the American system and submit to its abuses?  If in theory, the issue of justice is a noble idea, one that well-fed and consent mainstream America in the bask of its well-fed bodies and content souls speculates in the abstract.  But in practice we the subjects experiencing its application encounter it not as a noble enrichment but as a draconian netherworld of catch 22's.  Where in that universal quest to feed our bodies and satisfy our souls we find it as draw-bridges the status quo collaborators draw up behind their retreating ample back sides as they consolidate and conserve their gains and spoils.  Why must we the objects of the abstraction continue to objectify the illusion by maintaining those relationships with the citadelist and their boot-lickers which results with us spending the currency of our lives cheaply and idiotically?

Why is the administration of a law and it's justice that does not reflect by taking into account the particularities of the Black Experience and condition in America accepted?  If we state that the system is in opposition to the development of Black determination in America why then is the injustice tacitly supported and legitimized by cooperating with it.  There isn't any middle ground.  We are either included in the American system and it's Political-Economy which is to mean we actively share in the spoils from it's exploits or we are defacto excluded from it's strategic intent which is also to mean we are the objects of it's imperative.

As men, our potential is either a stabilizer or de-stabilizer to the status of society.  As Black Men the potential is always seen as threatening to the stability of American society.  So why then must Black Men continue to allow and accept the influence and effects of a system that in practice prejudicially excludes Black Men from the substance of it's value?

The nature and reason for our behavior, the decisional choices determining and predicting actions in society are a result of the way we relate to the forces which are in existence due to the composition and structure of American society.  If we decry governmental attitudes towards us in all forms and fashions as being perceptual biases, based on a paranoid view that hold Black Men as the antithesis to the American strategic imperative, then why as we have already demanded do we give up our lives, spend the currency of our lives in ways that in principle and in deed convey the incredulity of our inability and reluctance to confront the reason why we exhibit the behavioural chaos which in consequence has us spending our lives cheaply?

In memory of Trayvon Martin, the 17-year-old teenager from Sanford, Florida.  Killed and murdered by George Zimmerman on February 26, 2012.

So what exactly is the Cuban-American narrative of injustice?  Comparing Fidel Castro to Adolph Hitler as a linchpin in the  narrative is an insult.

If there is a Cuban-American narrative of injustice it is a misnomer.  Cuban-Americans laying claim to injustice at the hands of Fidel Castro is akin to the U.S. Army chiding the Sioux Nation for ambushing and slaughtering General Custer.

Perennial Republican Presidential Candidate Mitt Romney is in a peculiar dilemma, which is simply: What is Presidential leadership in American Political-Economy.

On the specific question of Health Care Reform, Mitt Romney is being boxed into the cowardly position of not only disavowing his contributions to the nations Health Care Reform as Governor of Massachusetts.  But Mitt Romney is negating the very idea of Presidential leadership in his quest as nominee for 2012 Republican Presidential candidate.

Presidential leadership is specifically telling 300 + million Americans that an idea is good, practical and progressive for the nation regardless of the academic "state rights" gambit which in practice is negated by the constitutional dicta recognizing intra-state laws nationally.

So what we are now witnessing in the 2012 campaign for Republican nominee is the death throes the logical conclusion to Republican-Conservatism/Tea Partyism-Reaganism Political-Economy which accelerated industrial disembowelment by speculative derivative leeching in the 1980's to the Credit Default Swap implosion of 2008 by Mitt Romney and his Baine investment henchmen who is now seeking to squat atop the smoldering ruins as president.

Black American Radio, Politics, Polemical-Commentary On American Political-Economy and Injustice

Urban Radio, Black American Radio or Black Radio has to recognize it's historical opportunity and mature into seizing and performing the subsequent duty.
Continuing the parochial and niche "stay in your place" type of so-called speaking truth to power style of politics which is the Black Radio dynamic ends up limiting and dulling the sharpness of polemical-commentary necessary to present the Black American Experience full square, as a mature entity in American Political-Economy.  An entity with equal right and authority to comment and polemically question the totality of American Political-Economy.  This 360 panoramic, polemical vantage will speak to the antagonistic and contradictory root foundation of American Political-Economy.

For example on the question of Welfare and Government assistance, Black Radio can present the practice of farm subsidies which is a Political-Economy fact enjoyed predominantly by White farmers as a contextual contrast with general Welfare, which is maligned because of it's supposed Black American narrative to it's listeners thereby revealing a correct definition of Welfare and it's utility.

Our position is, if the Black American Experience is one of injustice, it is because of the inability to expand polemical-commentary on the totality of American Political-Economy beyond racism and race relations.  Black Radio is the practical medium best suited to reduce the inability.

Mississippi Pardons, Anderson Cooper of CNN and Gov.Haley Barbour

So what exactly is it about the recent Mississippi Pardons  by Gov. Haley Barbour that offends Anderson Cooper of CNN so much that besides the obvious ratings driver it has impelled him to self-righteously rail against the pardons.

Issuing pardons are absolute authority exercises given the Executive Government of the nations state and federal leadership. It is absolute as the authority of a signature on the death warrant of a condemned being led off to be executed and killed, which is also a function of Executive Government of the nations state and federal leadership.

Pardons are an expression of the hypocritical absolutes of the Human Condition.  A last gasp acknowledgement of the idealism of human presumptions. So it behooves the sensibilities why Anderson Cooper of CNN has been abusing the privilege of CNN Corporate Media platform to self-righteously rail and criticize the Mississippi pardons by Gov. Haley Barbour.

The Human Condition is one continuum of pardons, objectively and subjectively. Whether or not Anderson Cooper of CNN understands and recognizes this organic fact is irrelevant.What is relevant is human beings were granted pardons and the issuer Gov. Haley Barbour is quite capable of depending the pardons.

The Republican-Conservatism/Tea Partyism Message For the 2012 Presidential Election and Conservatism Under All Circumstances Is Opposed To Progress

The Republican-Conservatism/Tea Partyism message for the 2012 Presidential Election is formulated anticipating that the national high unemployment rate will mitigate and conceal it's reactionary and revisionary nature.  Because as the Human Condition teaches, Conservatism under all circumstances is opposed to progress.

The Republican-Tea Party Conservative message that the 2012 Presidential election is a referendum on President Barack Obama's policies casually ignores the reality, that the United States type of governance is not procedurally a dictatorship.  (it is a dictatorship in other Political-Economy realities)

So the question is if the Republican-Conservatism/Tea Partyism message is to be treated seriously and objectively and if Barack Obama's policies have failed it also speaks to and exposes the procedural realities that the other two branches of United States governance have also failed in their Constitutional obligation.

But history cannot see Conservatism as a serious and objective world view.  So it goes to say that Republican-Conservatism/Tea Partyism is just another three card Monte distraction in the employ of hearts and minds stuck in the fear and hatred of progress and despite it's historical destructiveness on the Human Condition it is a simple irrelevance.

Poppy Harlow a CNN reporter recently illustrated the supposed antagonisms of privacy and the Internet by having aspects of her personal history and privacy aggregated by a company that values by exploiting the suppositions.

The question of privacy and personal information as it is formulated in the Internet age and social networking is simply as explanation of a fact of the Human Condition that has always existed.  The difference now is simply a contextual one.  Specifically, the Internet and it's democratization of means now enables anyone to access what was once restricted to governments and entities with resources and means.  A critique of the Internet as antagonistic towards privacy issues is idealistic and when advanced by the likes of Poppy Harlow of CNN is farcial.

Rick Perry of Texas as a job creator is fraudulent and phony. By Apropos
