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.

This campaign and ensuing reelection was specifically momentous because reaction and it's motive force, Republican-Conservatism was severely trounced at an epic stage in the Imperialistic development of Speculative-Value and it's distortions.

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.

Whether or not Jake Tapper honors his civic duty and vote has nothing to do with whether he has the intellectual-honesty and the purported professional ethic to require politicians define the national society and Political-Economy correctly.

When Jake Tapper starts doing this the antagonism between his civic duty of voting and his professional duty will cease.

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.

The United States, Arabs, Muslims, Violence and Savagery

The idea and it's rhetoric that the United States is this haven of civilized behavior and bastion of polite and conscientious politics as idealistic specific contrast and criticism of the recent 9/11/12; violent behavior of Arabs and Muslims in protest over a vulgar, Anti-Mohammed video and United States attitudes towards Islam, ignores the history of these United states and the historicity of it's people.

Violence and savagery in all forms and it's efficient specificity is transcendent in the United States.

Arabs and Muslims are naive Johnny Come Lately's to consequential violence, uncivility and the subsequent social instability and of all the criticisms we can lodge against Arabs and Muslims savagery and uncivility should laughably be the least.

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.

What we are saying is: The objectivity of privacy which is what jurisprudence is being asked by Kate Middleton because of her social act of baring her breast, to define, is specifically and objectively an approximation 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?
