Must Read: Andrew Breitbart: Righteous Indignation: Excuse Me While I Save the World!

Amazon.com: Righteous Indignation: Excuse Me While I Save the World! (9780446572828): Andrew Breitbart: Books

In this time of all sorts of high flying reaction to such subjects like the contraceptive mandate, the ridiculous Fluke testimony, Presidential primary and the California top two runoff in the wings, we will see the Right stupidly fall for the Alinsky farting treatment in the popular culture.  If you don’t know what I mean by that last statement, read Andrew Breitbart’s (may his soul rest in peace) masterpiece, Righteous Indignation: Excuse Me While I Save the World!    I have been reading it on my Kindle while traveling and I have a hard time putting it down.  It is a book for those who want to get a handle on what needs to be done, and for the scared-who-want-to-play-it-safe conservatives to get a dose of reality.  Read it, and think about it and pass it on to someone else.  When you hear a liberal say something stupid, play the man with the truth one bit at a time.  Make sure it is earshot of someone else and find your niche in the new media of Facebook, Twitter and blogs. If you stop talking, they win. Be a leader, not a serf. Start asking questions.  If the emperor is butt naked, say “THAT MAN HAS NO CLOTHES” and describe how you can tell one fact at a time.

Why Do We Let Dishonest Science Flourish in our Parishes, Schools and Communities?

Climate Distortions Were Achieved. National Weather Agencies Are The Trojan Horses
Here is yet another article about how the corruption of science by a political process has been hoisted on the public. We all need to take part of the blame when we did not point out to the youth that the teacher is not qualified to know everything. G. K. Chesterton had it right saying that if they are not teaching a dogma, they are not teaching. Even the weather has come under the title of relative as I can testify to the popular notion of global warming because I feel it is warmer than it was ten years ago. To take something as necessary to all survival on this planet like carbon dioxide and say it is poisoning us is just crazy. We have made the kindergarten teacher who gets a day off in the classroom by going to a seminar with a lunch where they hear someone present nonsense as if it is science, so that our kids will come home and form us. No, it is suppose to be us forming the belief system of our children and the school teaching the kids how to use their senses to think and seek the truth. Of course, truth is an antiquated concept. All good intelligent people are naturally members of the liberal elite and they know the truth is relative.

And to think, the Catholic Coalition on Climate Change thinks they should support the lies of the corrupted science...so sad.

California Catholic Conference Issues A Not So Useful Statement on the Budget-Doesn’t Address Public Sector Unions Excessive Out- of-Control Pensions or high tax rates and regulations hostile  especially to small business!

Ok, so that is probably why I don’t work on a local newspaper.  But that is the real news of the not in the least bit helpful commentary on the budget.  They don’t begin to address the burning issue of the high unemployment and the tough business environment in California.  California seems to be heading into a situation similar to Europe as described by Samuel Gregg, Ph.D of the Action Institute in an article entitled Europe's Broken Economies, October 6, 2010.  Particularly, Dr. Gregg talks about the situation of soft corruption:

“Soft corruption essentially involves cozy relationships between European interest-groups — such as businesses unwilling to compete, or public-sector unions intent on securing permanent employment for their members — and political parties from across the ideological spectrum. The interest-groups provide the cash and votes that help elect politicians. The politicians reciprocate by legislating to protect their supporters.

The fatal flaw of this arrangement is that neither hard nor soft corruption creates wealth. Instead, they shift the incentives away from creating wealth through entrepreneurship and competition. More and more people are thus drawn into playing a dysfunctional game in which the objective is to manipulate state power in order to redistribute wealth towards oneself.”

While the  California Catholic Conference should be concerned with the needs of those that are in need of a safety net, they also need to ensure that they are not routinely pushing programs that lead to the “dysfunctional game” that Dr. Gregg talks about.  They must advocate for a better business climate where those who have the talent and ability to form businesses that create jobs are not hindered by an over reaching revenue destroying public sector.  Their economic statement gives no indication that they appreciate the economic realities of the State.
