Jack White Defends Capitalism

"And if you lend money only to those who can repay you, what good is that? Even sinners will lend to their own kind for a full return." Luke 6:34

Have you heard about this popular rock star?

Compared to others, he is quite bizarre,

Defending Capitalism,

Not the norm radicalism,

As fluent with economics as a guitar!

"At present the peace of the world has been preserved, not by statesmen, but by capitalist."

Benjamin Disraeli (1804 - 1881)

It is good to see a rock star with a level head on his shoulders. Most musicians put down businesses and profits, but not Jack White of White Stripes, he actually defends capitalism. That is what I call a 'breath of fresh air', because it is quite rare.

Recently, White expressed his frustrations with Third Man Records because they put out a limited print of records and sold them for too low of a price. Dozens of the low-priced records were bought in bulk and "flipped" on eBay for hundreds of dollars.

Forbes recently said this:

"Third Man Records, puts out limited prints of records in order to meet customer demand 'to be involved in collecting rare and interesting vinyl.' There is a problem with this though. If you make something rare and valuable, the market price will be high."

"But White realized that 1)if customers want rare and valuable albums they will be expensive, 2)the market price will be reached no matter what they sell them for initially, and 3) if someone is going to profit it might as well be the creators,".

White decided to let the market demand dictate what people would pay for the records through auctions. He found out that people were willing to pay up to $300 for a "rare" vinyl.

After White started doing this, people complained that the auctions were "exploitative", but White defended his capitalist approach by saying this:

"We sell a Wanda Jackson split record for 10 bucks, the eBay flipper turns around and sells it for 300... If 300 is what it's worth, then why doesn't Third Man Records sell it for 300? If we sell them for more, the artist gets more, the flipper gets nothing. We're not in the business of making flippers a living. We're in the business of giving fans what they want... Make no mistake, we could make twenty thousand split color whatever for you, and they'll be worth 20 bucks, and you'll pay 20 bucks for them, and you'll never talk about them, desire them, hunt to find them, etc. why should eBay flippers, who are not real fans, dictate the price, make all the profit (taken from the artist and the label) and take the records out of the hands of real fans. There's a guy who waits in a black SUV down the block from Third Man who hires homeless people to go buy him tri-colors when they are on sale. Doesn't even get out of his car. Should he be charged ten bucks or two hundred? Don't be spoiled, don't insult people who are trying to give you what you want... Don't get mad at Third Man for giving you exactly what you've asked for, and seriously stop all of the whining, because what you communicate to us is that all of the trouble we go to isn't worth it because nothing we do will make you happy."

Why anyone in Hollywood or Show Businesses is against capitalism is beyond my understanding. If it wasn't for capitalism, none of them would be the rich people that they are today. I am starting to think the H in Hollywood stands for Hypocrisy!

Please give me your feedback!

A Dangerous Islamic Alliance

My News Limerick:
Farrakhan & the New Black Panther's Chairman,
Forged an alliance with the leader of Iran,
An Islamic pact,
That is nuclear backed,
Worst nightmare for any Israeli fan!

Famous Quote of the Day:
"Yes, I have cherished my "demagogue" role. I know that societies often have killed the people who have helped to change those societies. And if I can die having bought any light, having exposed any meaningful truth that will help to destroy the racist cancer that is malignant in the body of America - then, all of the credit is due to Allah. Only the mistakes have been mine."
Malcom X (1964), The Autobiography of Malcom X

My Commentary:
Racism cannot be combated by racism. I just do not "get it!" People such as Malik Zulu Shabazz, Farrakhan, and the late Malcom X, whom they look up to, primary beef was against racism against blacks in America, but they themselves are more racist than most of those they openly hate. The racism is not just against whites or the KKK, etc. Because of their Islamic beliefs, another primary target is Israel and not at all ashamed to say so.

Recently Shabazz discussed a frightening alliance between The Nation of Islam, the New Black Panthers, and the Iranian regime leader, Ahmadinejad, whom possesses nuclear capabilities.  The meeting took place on September 27th, 2010 in New York on top of a Manhattan Rooftop with another 50 radical Imams in attendance. Details of this meeting were never publicly revealed until a recent Black Panther Radio message by Shabazz on Saturday.

Following, is some dialogue from the broadcast:

• Envisions the "glory" of "paroling on the Israeli embassy with a hundred New Black Panthers" fighting for Palestine.
• Fighting white people is an "international struggle against a common enemy."
• Whites are trying to "divide the non-white" population against each other.
• Because "half of Africa" was involved in slavery "we say Africa owes us reparations, too."
• Black radicals should seek "alliances that are possible right now with people who got solid track records of being against this beast [white people]."
• Shabazz "stands on solid ideological ground" with "His Excellency, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad."
• "Mahmoud Ahmadinejad" understands "the dynamics and the politics of world revolution."
• Shabazz discussed "bringing natural gas and oil and other reparations into the black nation, and other things - unmentionable" with Ahmadinejad.
• There were "fifty Imams in the meeting" and "Minister Farrakhan is sitting in the first seat in the front."

• There are "just as many Arabs who hate this white man as we do" and the Black Panthers should ally themselves with radical Islam.

How many racist statements can you find? I am so very tired of the bigotry within these groups. How can you preach against the racism of African Americans and be an extreme racist yourself.

These groups blame whites and the Jews for everything, but refuse to mention the most destructive element blacks are dealing with on a daily basis. By far, the most destructive force within the black community is found within itself. Black on black crimes, to include murders, is 2 to 3 times more likely than White on black crimes. Everyday black communities are tearing themselves apart from the inside out and all these groups can do is blame the white man and the Jews.

Of course, these groups will say that their situation is the fault of the whites. They are repressed and oppressed. Yes, they have been repressed in the past, but this country has come along way since the 60s equal rights with Dr. King.

President Obama is living proof that opportunities are available for anyone who is willing to work hard to achieve their goals. Let us stop making excuses and find productive positive ways to change the extreme racism that exists within our country on all sides of the fence.

Like I said earlier, "Racism cannot be combated by racism."

Racism can only be defeated through love and understanding of each other's differences. "Stop the Hate!" and "Start the Love!"

Rev. Wright Bribed to Keep Quiet!

My News Limerick:

Have you heard the new interview from Rev. Wright,

Has a box the liberals want to keep out of sight,

Was bribed by Obama,

A best selling drama,

$150,000 to keep him quiet!

Quote of the Day:

"Men are more often bribed by their loyalties and ambitions than by money."

Robert Jackson

My Commentary:

OK, I agree with you! Many are very tired of hearing about Rev. Wright, but this story is different because he is finally telling the truth! I think Obama's throwing him under the bus has finally got to him and he wants everyone to know how Obama tried to "shut him up!"

I would first like to thank Edward Klein. Somehow he convinced Rev. Wright to sit down for a three hour taped interview, which he used in his new book the 'The Amateur', an unauthorized biography of President Barack Obama. This book makes some startling claims from reliable sources. He also spoke to contacts that witnessed  former president Bill Clinton calling Obama an "amateur" and after a secret poll that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton could beat Obama in the Democratic Presidential Election tried to urge her to run against Obama in the 2012 presidential election.

Everyday, more and more truths are being exposed about Obama. Everyday, Americans are learning more and more about the  most corrupt administration in America's history. Obama will do whatever is most "convenient". From shutting up political nightmares such as Rev. Wright to the financial destruction of our country, it does not matter as long as his Communist Marxist objectives are met.

During the interview, Rev. Wright talks about numerous startling subjects about Barack and Michelle, but most interesting by far was the bribery attempt by Obama. Then Senator Obama met privately in Rev. Wright's home and Wright claims that he has an email from one of Obama's closest advisers offering $150,000 if he keeps quiet. Wright claims that proof of this is kept in a secret box and everytime he sees the box, it brings back the memories of the bribery. How is this story not "headlines" for every mainstream news outlet. Except for Fox News and a few others, this story is getting the runaround from the liberal mainstream.

It does not matter, Americans are not "Idiots." The liberal media can try to hide the truth and avoid these facts all they want. Americans are very quickly starting to see the truth. Many Americans will be shocked to learn that "Hope and Change" did in fact come to America.

If was just in the form of "Marxism and Communism" and the destruction of the America we all know and love!

The "Sacred Sacrifice"

My News Limerick:

A Saudi Arabian man full of pride,

Has a peculiar way of making money on the side,

Auctioned off his son,

Sold them one by one,

The other sons already sold to die,

Quote of the Day:

“I have given two cousins to war and I stand ready to sacrifice my wife’s brother.”

Artemus Ward (1834 – 1867)

My Commentary:

Another sick and gruesome story from our “Religion of Love” allies in Saudi Arabia. But wait, Shhhhhhhhhhh!We should all follow the liberal’s advice and be tolerant of others. Maybe if we are tolerant and accepting of their Sharia Law, then maybe they will change.

I do not care what religion you are or if you do not have any religion? How perverse is it to sell off your sons to die? This Saudi Arabian man is not only doing it, but happy and proud to do it!

There is no doubt in my mind that something is seriously wrong with Islamic extremists. Every levelheaded Muslim leader in the world should stand up and condemn these actions, but they will not. How often do you hear these leaders condemning these despicable actions?  At best, we very rarely hear anything from them.

Let us put the “shoe on the other foot” for a minute and make a comparison between Muslims and Christians. How do Christian leaders react when Christian extremist do terrible acts? First, most probably feel the same as I do, Very ashamed and do not believe they are “true” believers and followers of Christ. Most important is that they are very quick to condemn their actions. I would also like to point out that terrorist attacks by Christian extremist are very rare compared to large daily amounts Muslim extremist have. Maybe that is it! Could it be that Muslim leaders are numb to the horror of their believers because terrorist violence happens daily within their ranks? No, I do not think so either!

During research on this story, I read countless comments asking, “Where’s the mother?” and I thought to myself, “Idiots, are people really this ignorant?” Do you not know that the mother has less say so in this matter than their family goat? The mother is at home with the other “sister wives” praying that she is not the next one on the “chopping block!” Even if she tried to stand up to her husband, she would be a victim of a “mercy killing!”

What are your thoughts?

Will Smith Found His "Lovitz Curve!"

My News Limerick:

Will Smith talks about finance,

Supports a higher tax stance,

Found his “Lovitz Curve”,

Millions he must preserve,

Very thankful to not live in France,

Famous Quote of the Day:

“France is the only country where the money falls apart and you can’t tear the toilet paper.”

Billy Wilder (1906-2002)

YouTube Video:

My Commentary:

Shortly after actor and comedian Jon Lovitz’s “bulls**t” rant against President Obama’s taxation policies went viral, Zombie, a blogger for PJ Media, posted the “Lovitz Curve” theory. Named after the famous “Laffer Curve,” the “Lovitz Curve” theory is that rich leftist such as Will Smith are comfortable with taxation and paying their “fair share” only up to a certain point. That point is the “Lovitz Curve.”

Liberal thinking really does “blow my mind!” I simply cannot understand it. Will Smith said, “America has been fantastic to me. I have no problem paying whatever I need to pay to keep my country growing.”

He said this, but clearly, his expressions showed different. Anyone could easily tell and he admitted himself that 75 percent was excessively much to pay. That is why he said, “God bless America!”

Therefore, my question to all the liberals out there is this.

How much should we pay? How much are you willing to pay? What is your “Lovitz Curve?” Should it be 50%, 60%, 70%, or more?

What exactly is the fair amount to pay?

I am constantly hearing liberals say, “The rich should pay more!” Nevertheless, I never hear anyone say how much more. Please, someone tell me, how much more should they pay?

I attest that the taxes our rich pay now are already more than fair. In fact, what they pay in taxes is in fact very unfair to our rich. The average rich person in America pays about 35% right now.

Now compare this to the fact that approximately 50% of Americans pay nothing in taxes or actually make money off tax refunds.

The only way to make taxes fair would be to implement a Flat Tax. Only when every American pays an equal percentage in taxes will they finally be fair.

Of course, liberals will tell you that a flat tax is not fair for many different reasons.

They will say the rich do not need all that money and we should “redistribute the wealth” to the poor.

I would then say, “What do you think the rich does with all that excess money?”

The fact is most of them will invest the money back into the economy and create jobs. So, what happens when taxes take away large portions of these excesses? The rich stop investing and YES, you guessed it. Jobs are no longer created!

Wake up America! The liberals, the champions of the poor, are not helping you at all! In fact, they are hurting you very badly. Of course, if you want entitlements, you want Welfare, Medicare, and Obama Care. All the social programs that our country cannot afford anymore, then the Democrats are the right choice. But, understand that these programs are not helping the root cause of our #1 problem in America right now.

We need Jobs!

China's Dead Baby Pill

My News Limerick:
Have you heard about the new China pill?,
This story will definitely give quite the chill,
Made from a dead baby,
Do you think that maybe,
The world's morals are going quickly downhill!

DNA testing showed that 99.7% of the powder was human remains

My Commentary:
Have you ever heard a more gruesome story than this one? Over 17,000 pills that were confiscated by China were found to actually contain the ground flesh from dead babies! They were sold as a stamina enhancer and medical panacea in parts of Asia.

The babies were collected from death rooms, still borns, and abortions within China. For those that do not know what death rooms are; they are rooms where babies are placed to die because the parents already had one baby.

Then the babies were placed in refrigerators until they were ready to be placed in medical drying microwaves. After the skin is tinder dry, the skin is pummeled into a powder and processed into pill capsules.

A BBC official said this, "It was confirmed those capsules contain materials harmful to the human body, such as super bacteria. We need to take tougher measures to protect public health,"

The following YouTube video explains the story further:

When is our government going the start condemning the outrageous human rights violations going on in China? The problem is we cannot, because China is our #1 funder of our debt. Our government is forced into political acceptance of these and other outrageous offenses because we must sustain good relations in order to keep China as our primary backer and financier of our debt.

Even worse, our national debt is turning the heads of other countries to rely on China as the world's financial leader. Basically, everyone is accepting their ethics because of their soon-to-be financial dominance.

The world all of us live in is not the same as we lived in just a few short years ago. Our morals are held hostage by our financial needs. We must take fiscal control and stand up against these atrocities before it is too late. The  more we lose face in the international community; the more other countries will also accept the deplorable policies of nations such as China.

Let us all pray! Then stand up and inform others of the decline of America's morals. Our only chance is to fire those in government that continually allow these types of human rights violations to happen and elect government officials with the moral aptitude and courage to stand up and fight against unmoral policies within China and many others.

Joe Biden Gaffes Again

My News Limerick:
Joe Biden is graceless and full of gaffes,
Gives the Republicans lots of laughs,
Refers to Romney as President,
And Clinton as present WH resident,
Would be fired if he were on Obama’s staff,

Famous Quote:
“Nothing shows a man’s character more than what he laughs at.”Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749 – 1832)



How embarrassing this man has been for the Obama administration for the last four years. I think the Republicans really look forward to him speaking again, because he says such stupid remarks almost every time.

Anyway, if you have not heard, Biden’s latest came from an interview by David Gregory on “Meet the Press,” During the Interview; Biden referred to Mitt Romney as “President Romney,” and referred to President Obama as “President Clinton,”






Wow! If I were Gov. Romney, I would use this clip in my next election campaign advertisement. Why should he pay professionals to downplay President Obama when the VP does this for him free!

He also told Gregory that he is “absolutely” okay with same-sex marriage, which quickly prompted a statement from his office saying those words represent Biden’s personal views and not those of the administration.

Of course, he is okay with same-sex marriage. Just like anyone else, that does not have any morals or God-fearing beliefs. It is easy to be ok with anything, when all you care about is power and yourself.






Let us take a look at some of Biden's past gaffes:

"This is a big fucking deal!" --Joe Biden, caught on an open mic congratulating President Barack Obama during the health care signing ceremony, Washington, D.C., March 23, 2010

"His mom lived in Long Island for ten years or so. God rest her soul. And- although, she's- wait- your mom's still- your mom's still alive. Your dad passed. God bless her soul." --Joe Biden, on the mother of Irish Prime Minister Brian Cowen,

who is very much alive, Washington, D.C., March 17, 2010

"I wouldn't go anywhere in confined places now. … When one person sneezes it goes all the way through the aircraft. That's me. I would not be, at this point, if they had another way of transportation, suggesting they ride the subway." --Joe Biden, providing handy tips to protect against the swine flu and freaking us out, "Today Show" interview, April 30, 2009

"An hour late, oh give me a f**king break." –Joe Biden, caught on a live mic speaking to a former Senate colleague after arriving on Amtrak at Union Station in Washington, D.C., March 13, 2009 (Watch video clip)

"You know, I'm embarrassed. Do you know the Web site number? I should have it in front of me and I don't. I'm actually embarrassed." –Joe Biden, speaking to an aide standing out of view during an interview on CBS' "Early Show," in the midst of encouraging viewers to visit a government-run Web site that tracks stimulus spending, Feb. 25, 2009

"If we do everything right, if we do it with absolute certainty, there's still a 30% chance we're going to get it wrong." --Joe Biden, speaking to members of the House Democratic caucus who were gathered in Williamsburg, Va., for their annual retreat, Feb. 6, 2009

"Am I doing this again? For the senior staff? My memory is not as good as Chief Justice Roberts'." --Joe Biden, mocking Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts' botched effort to swear in Barack Obama as Biden was set to swear in White House senior staff one day after the Inauguration snafu, Washington, D.C., Jan. 21, 2009

"Jill and I had the great honor of standing on that stage, looking across at one of the great justices, Justice Stewart." –Joe Biden, mistakenly referring to Justice John Paul Stevens, who swore him in as vice president, Washington, D.C., Jan. 20, 2009 (Watch video clip)

"Look, John's last-minute economic plan does nothing to tackle the number-one job facing the middle class, and it happens to be, as Barack says, a three-letter word: jobs. J-O-B-S, jobs." --Joe Biden, Athens, Ohio, Oct. 15, 2008 (Source)

"When the stock market crashed, Franklin D. Roosevelt got on the television and didn't just talk about the, you know, the princes of greed. He said, 'Look, here's what happened." –Joe Biden, apparently unaware that FDR wasn't president when the stock market crashed in 1929 and that only experimental TV sets were in use at that time, interview with Katie Couric, Sept. 22, 2008 (Watch video clip)

"Stand up, Chuck, let 'em see ya." –-Joe Biden, to Missouri state Sen. Chuck Graham, who is in a wheelchair, Columbia, Missouri, Sept. 12, 2008 (Watch video clip)

"Hillary Clinton is as qualified or more qualified than I am to be vice president of the United States of America. Quite frankly, it might have been a better pick than me." --Joe Biden, speaking at a town hall meeting in Nashua, New Hampshire, Sept. 10, 2008 (Source)

"A man I'm proud to call my friend. A man who will be the next President of the United States — Barack America!" --Joe Biden, at his first campaign rally with Barack Obama after being announced as his running mate, Springfield, Ill., Aug. 23, 2008 (Watch video clip)

"A successful dump!" --Joe Biden, explaining his whereabouts (dropping deadwood at the dump) to the reporters outside his home, Wilmington, Del., Aug. 20, 2008

"I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that's a storybook, man." –Joe Biden, referring to Barack Obama at the beginning of the 2008 Democratic primary campaign, Jan. 31, 2007 (Source)

"You cannot go to a 7-11 or a Dunkin' Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent.... I'm not joking." --Joe Biden, in a private remark to an Indian-American man caught on C-SPAN, June, 2006 (Watch video clip)

Rep. Allen West and "chuckleheads"

My News Limerick:

Have you ever met a “chucklehead?”

“Inept and incompetent”, just like West said,

The best way to slaughter,

Is like a shark in the water,

“Blood” draws an attack until politically dead!

Famous Quote:

“Sharks are as tough as those football fans who take their shirts off during games in Chicago in January, only more intelligent.

Dave Barry (1947 - )

2 Kings 3:22

“And when they rose early in the morning and the sun shone on the water, the Moabites saw the water opposite them as red as blood.”

My Commentary:

Allen West is without a doubt one of my favorite political figures. I would quickly support him for President or almost anything, because he has such a level head and collected persona to him. He has a very high level of charisma; which is needed in the Republican Party.

Another proof of his charisma was seen at a speech delivered to the Broward Republican Executive Committee in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

He encouraged Americans to “fight back against … liberal progressivism,” and exposed the Liberals plight to create fear and separation with in America.

Rep. West referred to the protestors outside of his address as “chuckleheads.” He said, “A chucklehead is a person who is so inept and incompetent that all you can do is look at them and laugh,”

Then, Rep. West explained how the nation’s economic survival is at risk,

“This is a moral discussion we’ve having in this country, because we’re talking about what we’re going to leave for our children and grandchildren,”

He then made a statement on his feelings on Liberals,

“I feel sorry for them because for whatever reason they don’t know the essence of the greatness of the United States of America.”

West then talked about how to fight the ideological battlefield that will ultimately control the nation’s political landscape,

“You must be like sharks that smell blood in the water and you must attack … Ladies and gentlemen, you don’t win on defense. You win on offense.”

We need more politicians like Allen West! His direct no nonsense approach only says what everyone else is scared to say.

I think our Nation has a chance if we go out, find more politicians like Rep. West, and vote them into office!

'Stop the Islamization of America'

My News Limerick:
A congressional candidate named Itamar Gelbman,
Says America is influenced by the Quran,
His political slogan,
Is more conservative than Reagan,
'Stop the Islamization of America' while we can!

Quote of the Day:
"Five to six million strong, Muslims in America already outnumber Presbyterians, Episcopalians, and Mormons, and they are more numerous than Quakers, Unitarians, Seventh-day Adventists, Mennonites, Jehovah's Witnesses, and Christian Scientists, combined. Many demographers say Islam has overtaken Judaism as the country's second-most commonly practiced religion; others say it is in the passing lane."

Johan Blank, USNEWS (7/20/98)

My Commentation:
Texas Tea Party candidate Itamar Gelbman's campaign slogan, "Stop Islamization of America" is receiving high marks from his party, but also is bringing many enemies against him from the Left. 

Gelbman, a former Lieutenant in the Israeli Special Forces, has embraced a truth that many find hard to accept. This truth is the fact that Islamic culture is quickly finding its way into our culture. This is done first through infiltration of our government through officials and next will be government policies.

If you want proof of this, just look at how the media and our government deal with anything negative when it comes to Muslims. These subjects are almost "taboo" to talk about because they are considered "politically incorrect" to do so. But, as soon as a right wing Christian makes a mistake, they are the first to jump all over it!

In order for our principles and Nation to survive as we know it, we need more politicians to stand up and accept the dire predicament we are in. Let us all show our support for Itamar Gelbman and his courageous campaign!

Obama's New Campaign Slogan

My Story Limerick:
What about Obama's slogan for his campaign?
Is there a deeper meaning behind its name?
"Forward" for Communism,
Used for "Czarism",
Is this the true message he wants to proclaim?

Qutoe of the Day:
"Communism doesn't work because people like to own stuff."
Frank Zappa (1940-1993)

My View:
"Forward" is Obama's new campaign slogan, but most do not know the history behind this slogan in past political races. Glenn Beck did a great job exposing how forward was used in Communist and Marxist campaigns in the past.

Take a look at some of these and you decide if there is a hidden meaning behind this slogan. The captions below the images translate the message:

Forward to the victory of Communism!

Under Lenin another "Forward to victory!"

Great Warriors Forward to the West!

Let's march forward under the banner of Mao Zedong!

Mao's great leap forward!

Another Lenin and Stalin "Forward" banner!

Another Lenin "Forward" banner!

Russia communist "Forward for our Brothers!"

Non-Party members and Communist march forward to our best future!

Forward to communism!

The Russian word for "forward" transliterates to "vpered" which was the name of Joseph Stalin's newspaper, "Forward for Stalin."

Forward for Stalin newspaper

Under the communist leadership of Stalin, Lenin, and Mao more than 70 million people were killed because they opposed the government.

Why would President Obama chose the same campaign slogan? How would the most powerful man in the world not know the meaning behind this slogan? Or, was the decision to use the slogan done purposeful? Is there a message behind this slogan?

You decide!
