a little off topic but this clip of CNN trying to decipher their objective is priceless. I guess it can also apply to the metaphorical value of said death threats.

If these parasitic, moochers want NY to confiscate 100% of the income of NY’s rich I say let them. It’s way past time for the states to reassertion their Constitutional supremacy. We need a critical mass of GOP governors to start ignoring the federal government…NOW! If enough would tell the Feds to go pound and there isn’t anything Obama and his hippie sycophants in OWS could do about it. We should be able to look to our state governments to protect us from DC as was the case pre-Civil War.

No, I’m not advocating violence. I’m advocating restoring state authority and autonomy so all citizens can live as they best see fit. If the socialists want to live in high tax, welfare dependent states I say let them. Just prohibit those of us in Red states from having to support them or abide by their state’s laws.

Everyday I grow more and more fearful of being dragged kicking and screaming into full blown socialism. No one in power seems to be fighting, I mean really fighting, against this insanity.

Over on Drudge is a story about how Sebelius and HHS are busy defining our insurance coverage for us. Where the He!! is my freedom to choose? Where in the Constitution is the authority to do this? I’ve had it, I want my state to declare its independence from federal tyranny.

is these guys and our President are on the same side of the issues.
This is a first in our history.
We have a President so immature and out of the mainstream that he seems to identify with lawless mobs, and frankly his policies only enable them.

from the Microwave Death Camps by now? Or the putrid steam, or whatever emanates from those places? What a colossal waste of stimulus money if they’re not online yet.

Maybe that’s why Barry’s so agitated about his jobulus.

Every one needs to pay something so they have a vested interest in what goes on, even if it’s only a few dollars. I would go for the flat tax over the fair tax for the simple reason that the 16th amendment exists, and I don’t want any new taxes.

But this thing we have now is highly divisive, counterproductive, and possibly deadly with hard times upon us. In some ways, it feels like our societal cohesion is being ripped apart, and that is just a terrible omen for the future of our once great nation.

What could Wall St possibly have taken from these.protestors? Nothing. They have nothing. These radicals are takers. They are just greedy people who want to take more of what isn’t theirs.

For people who have lost money and want to see those responsible in jail; I could support that. But then I’m not thinking Wall St, I’m thinking Pres Obama and his cronies losing taxpayer money on bailing out their buddies in crazy schemes.

Obama, if losing other peoples money is a crime, you should be first on the bus to the jailhouse. What you have done with other peoples money is malfeasance and you must be held responsible.

As a child and young man I did not always make great decisions. Over time, however, I learned the value of participating in the “common” reality. I am paying my dues and working hard, very hard and I anticipate this is how it will be for the remainder of my life – at least if I wish to maintain an acceptable standard of living.

I am a chef, pastry chef specifically and I worked for years to get to where I am at now. My current job and position pay above the national average, but I am no where near being rich or well off. My wife and I scrimp and save and do without to provide for our family. We recently relocated to a rural suburb, because of the continual degradation of in-town suburbs.

What I find is shocking is that most of the junior members of my professional are not just out of touch with reality, but are participating in a completely separate reality. Their belief is that since everything has been given to them without effort, that everything will continue to come without effort. This has created an unstable realization of the world around them. They graduate from a culinary institution to a $40,000 or $80,000 debt and have no idea of how long it will take to repay that when you are making $12 an hour to start. The pain of the realization that they have to struggle to just pay rent and put gas in a car and cover the school note is overwhelming for most. In 20 years in this business I have known but a few who do not default on paying that debt.

So they enter this profession with little or no ability. Most do not work or apprentice while they are in school and receive only a cursory 16 week externship. They enter the work force shocked and surprised to learn that they will not have a TV show or line of cutlery and that most of the people they will begin their career with are felons, outsiders or just plain lost. Further they realize that their institution has manufactured an idea of elevated culinary excellence only to realize that this is withheld for only a select few. Quickly they become disgruntled, defeated and incapable of accepting the true reality around them. It becomes easier and easier to blame others than to blame themselves for their own lack of judgement, awareness or participation in the “common” reality. It is always painful to watch and to attempt to guide these individuals.

This is a job that in order to succeed you must be willing to commit to not just 60 hour work weeks, but at times 80 and 100 hour weeks. This is not to say it’s all bad. I have the best job in the world. It comprises everything that delivers value to a profession. In order to be successful you must be thoughtful, conscientious, creative and diligent. There is always another level to strive for and there is always the opportunity to pour just a little more passion into your work. The harsh “common” reality is, however, that most of the children entering this profession have little compulsion or desire to participate.

I find it troubling that we have a bunch of spoiled, truly spoiled, angry, selfish children lashing out in a tantrum at anyone and everyone that they perceive as holding them back from their own “reality.” They want their modern loft apartment stocked with alcohol, video games, high speed internet and “medicinals” so that they can get back to “elevating” the American Standard and creating a new American Dream.. If they wanted to work there are plenty of chef jobs available in NYC right now – pull up Craigslist, there were 400+ listings for Thursday alone.

These children need to grow up. Their parents need to cut the cord and push them out the door before they destroy us all. A 4 year old breaks things just to make a point. A 24 year old can break more than things. The anger and petulance towards the “common” reality is disturbing.
