Graycat, make one on your own, damit!

All you need is oversize pants from Goodwill, a plastic garbage bag and enough rope to tie around your waist. Oh, and a CAT baseball cap. Make sure you don't bathe or shave all week.

Partisan Politics—A Fool’s Game for the Masses

By Robert Higgs on Oct 12, 2009

Because I despise politics in general, and the two major parties in this country in particular, I go through life constantly bemused by all the weight that people put on partisan political loyalties and on adherence to the normative demarcations the parties promote. Henry Adams observed that “politics, as a practice, whatever its professions, has always been the systematic organization of hatreds.” This marshalling of hatreds is not the whole of politics, to be sure, but it is an essential element. Thus, Democrats encourage people to hate big corporations, and Republicans encourage people to hate welfare recipients.

Of course, it’s all a fraud, designed to distract people from the overriding reality of political life, which is that the state and its principal supporters are constantly screwing the rest of us, regardless of which party happens to control the presidency and the Congress. Amid all the partisan sound and fury, hardly anybody notices that political reality boils down to two “parties”: (1) those who, in one way or another, use state power to bully and live at the expense of others; and (2) those unfortunate others.

Even when politics seems to involve life-and-death issues, the partisan divisions often only obscure the overriding political realities. So, Democrats say that anti-abortion Republicans, who claim to have such tremendous concern for saving the lives of the unborn, have no interest whatever in saving the lives of those already born, such as the poor children living in the ghetto. And Republicans say that Democrats, who claim to have such tremendous concern for the poor, systematically contribute to the perpetuation of poverty by the countless taxes and regulations they load onto business owners who would otherwise be in better position to hire and train the poor and thereby to hasten their escape from poverty.

If the unborn children happen to be living in the wombs of women on whom U.S. bombs and rockets rain down in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan, however, all Republican concerns for the unborn evaporate completely, as do the Democrats’ concerns for the poor children living in the selfsame bombarded villages. Both parties’ positions would seem to rest on very flexible and selective morality, if indeed either party may be said to have any moral basis at all, notwithstanding their chronic public displays of “moral” wailing and gnashing of teeth.

In any event, the parties’ principles of hatred have never passed the sniff test; indeed, they reek of hypocrisy. Thus, while railing against the “corporate rich,” the Democrats rely heavily on the financial support of Hollywood moguls and multi-millionaire trial lawyers, among other fat cats. And the Republicans, while denouncing the welfare mother who makes off with a few hundred undeserved bucks a month, vociferously support the hundreds of billions of dollars in welfare channeled to Lockheed Martin, Boeing, and General Electric, among many other companies, via larcenous “defense” contracts, Export-Import Bank subsidies, and countless other forms of government support for “national security” and service to “the public interest” as Republicans conceive of these nebulous, yet rhetorically useful entities.

Notice, too, that although ordinary Democrats and Republicans often harbor intense mutual hatreds, the party leaders in Congress rub shoulders quite amiably as a rule. Regardless of which party has control, the loyal opposition can always be counted on to remain ever so loyal and ready to cut a deal. And why not? These ostensible political opponents are engaged in a process of plunder from which the bigwigs in both parties can expect to profit, whatever the ebb and flow of party politics. At bottom, the United States has a one-party state, cleverly designed to disguise the country’s true class division and to divert the masses from a recognition that unless you are a political insider connected with one of the major parties, you almost certainly will be ripped off on balance. Such exploitation, after all, is precisely what the state and the political parties that operate it are for.

Yet, rather than hating the predatory state, the masses have been conditioned to love this blood-soaked beast and even, if called upon, to lay down their lives and the lives of their children on its behalf. From my vantage point on the outside, peering in, I am perpetually mystified that so many people are taken in by the phony claims and obscurantist party rhetoric. As the song says, “clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right,” but unlike the fellow in the song, I am not “stuck in the middle.” Instead, I float above all of this wasted emotion, looking down on it with disgust and sadness. Moreover, as an economist, I am compelled to regret such an enormously inefficient allocation of hatred.

Of course they'll be unregistered Democrats.

Illegal Alien costumes are on Ebay for around $40. Though someone is trying to sell masks for $100 a pop with BUY IT NOW.

SK, that video is repulsive and shocking. The media are goddamn vultures! The guy called police and yet kept his cool, some monkey jumping on him FROM BEHIND! What kind of a sick world is this?

The respect the world has for the U.S. continues to grow as they assign new words to their lexicon.

I'm sure ACORN will be hard at work trying to register them.

Pretty damn impressive coming from an illegal alien himself.

Nice video, SK. Who was it that was saying pro-lifers are more violent that pro-abortionists, again?

Here's a video all Catholics should watch about the upcoming collection for that wretched hive of scum and villainy known as CCHD:

Screwballs in the News

Culling out the most ridiculous features of recent news items is always a challenge, what with all the absurdities and screwballs in the competition, but here are some of the best:

Swede Charged With Hate Speech: Swedish Democratic Leader Jimmie Akesson published an opinion piece in Aftonbladet asserting “that the spread of Islam represents the country’s ‘greatest external threat since World War II.’ “

Assertion of the obvious is apparently frowned upon by some in Sweden.

Akesson was roundly condemned and ”reported to Sweden’s highest legal official by the Centre Against Racism.”

No refutation of Akesson’s position was offered but the head of the Centre did say, “We are of the view that the article agitates against Muslims when it points at Islam as the greatest threat to Sweden:” http://bit.ly/UOwlP.

What with the continuing worldwide jihad being waged against Western Civilization by Islamic Fundamentalists, Akesson’s contention seems to hold great credibility. His critics failed to present any other viewpoint on what does pose the “greatest external threat” to Sweden if it is not Muslims.

Bra-less Somalis: Masked, unthreatening Muslim men in Somalia are publicly whipping Muslim women who dare to wear bras because they are practicing “deception.”

To further humiliate the Somali fair sex, “After the public whippings, the women are forced to remove their bras and shake their breasts.”

As one Muslim woman complained, “They first banned the former veil and introduced a hard fabric which stands stiffly on women’s chests. They are now saying that breasts should be firm naturally, or just flat.”

The hardline Islamic group Shabaab which amputates the feet and hands of robbers “has also banned movies, musical ringtones, dancing at wedding ceremonies and playing or watching soccer:” http://bit.ly/mG8Fq.

Drunk Man Stabs Son: Seemingly infuriated and inebriated Vermonter, Nazeih Hammouri, allegedly stabbed his 19 year old son in the stomach with a corkscrew following an argument over a clogged toilet. . . .
