By William Smith
Some of the vilest people I have known are those so called elitist liberals who try to manipulate the masses in an effort to obtain political power. The means of this manipulation is not to advance society but to degrade it. Their plan is to degrade the social and economic system to a point where they can use this “so called crisis” as a means to call for government intervention. Remember Rahm Emanuel; “Never Let a Serious Crisis Go to Waste”.

you either need to read this again or keep smoking whatever it is you are smoking. You missed the boat somewhere in this translation.
Government is encroaching upon us more and more all the time, to deny it is ignorant. Every time the legislature convenes, it isn't to rescind laws, but to make more laws that further regulate us.
It is getting worse and worse, and you can claim the generic "rush limbaugh/ far right" lingo when someone speaks out aginst this excessive intrusion if you want to, but the core basis of the article remains as fact, and it is mainly due to the actions of liberals, not necessaraly Republicans or democrats. Government intrusion into our lives is NOT any type of positive solution, it is a hinderance.
He didn't tie the Hard Left to religion, but to a cult mentality... there is a difference... a HUGE difference. But, then, a leftist wouldn't know that since he would be drinking the Kool-Aid...
United we stand and divided we fall, is the mentality the ruling class fears the most. The individual is powerless when opposed by those with the vast resources aimed at keep it status quo. Why do you think Lamar County is subdivided into separate districts of several state representatives? One voice
of 16 thousand is louder and has greater leverage than a few trying to capture the interest of a politician than can ignore which is not a threat to ones re-election.
Logic and reason are two of our greatest assets but when they are void of empathy and hinder service to those in need, reason becomes flawed and then becomes our greatest obstacle. I agree victimology can become a disease and thus hinder transcending adversity. When the ruling class in order to maintain economic power constructs an irrational mindset, then calls it sound reasoning or logical is what concerns me more. As long as, there are right wing propaganda power houses like FOX and COX media, the offset of left wing oriented media will be a necessity.
Left wing ideology is not designed to punish the producers but to insure that the human resource is not grossly exploited by the bottom line on a company’s spreadsheet. Wealth at this expense does a disservice to all. It is those who are demanding change which are calling for America to wake up and use their minds and learn that they are no longer alone. Together we can once again shift the balance of power in the interest of middle class America.
I am a liberal because I have no choice. I answer to a higher power and vision that says that “We the people” means that we help our brothers and sisters and that nothing else is more important, not even profit. I believe that Jesus would have agreed with this kind of logic. It’s not claiming the moral
high ground but just being real and answerable to what comes from the human heart.
Who will we turn to? How about a long, hard look into the mirror? It certainly wouldn’t be turning to corporate America or our country’s financial sector. In Washington, it was these kind of self serving special interest that got us into this mess in the first place.
Someone needs to step back and look at himself and his agenda before blaming others for what j his team is at least 50% responsible for.
I appreciate all that you do for the Lamar County, although, I do recognize you’re just running a business. This article by William Smith does throw me a curve. It seems a bit extreme, even for the Barnesville paper. I can’t find any background on this William Smith guy so I’ll take it he’s of our local community. What confuses me is, even though I don’t know you personally, but what I do know of you leads me to believe that you are just too smart to fall for this kind of small minded tirade. I realize this is just one person’s opinion but why does your business cater to such a degree of toxic diatribe.
What bothers liberals the most is truth and facts, mostly because they can't or don’t want to understand them. It is apparently obvious you didn't understand what was written so you gave it your own liberal translation. I'd also be willing to bet that this represents more than one person's opinion. Why don't you explain the curve it tossed you rather than complain to Walter about the content.
Oh and by the way, the article had nothing to do with a religion.
And lastly, a person doesn’t need to look in the mirror to see the problems of our America. They only need to look at our current liberal leaders, watch MSNBC, read the NYT, and follow and listen to the politically stupid.
The words to "LOUIE, LOUIE" should have been printed before all your crap. Jesus feeds the "birds of the air" but he doesn't throw it in the nest for them.
Yes it does have to do with religion. Not all religions are theologies. When the writer is using selective key words like: cult, indoctrination, religious ideology, morality, unreal religion. The writer has taken an approach as if liberal thought is a threat to the “religious right”. I brought Christianity into the dialogue because if the political right which embraces religious America actually did what “Christ” preached they wouldn’t feel their own individualism was threatened.
Yes, a look into the mirror is where to turn because change always starts with the individual.
Heck, I just wrote a long dialogue in a prior posting stating why I took exception to the point of view.
Walter chose a business which touches the lives of most everyone in the community and with that whether he is willing to accept it our not comes a certain responsibility. How he handles this accountability reflects a on him as an individual.
I doubt that I will seem as polite as #11 anonymous on 04/09/09 at 01:07 PM but, let’s go and see where we wind up. Let’s take first things first. Are you rushed or is it that you don’t understand the pronunciation? Did you want me to give you a break or do you actually need someone to give you a “brake”? With liberals the question is justified.
I knew I could count on more oral defecation when I ask you to explain the curve that you said the article threw you. Typical! You had a lot to say without saying anything. Regardless, let’s take a few of your well chosen and intellectual words.
1. “In the political world, truth is just a perception or a construct built by those with limited information and a hidden agenda.” Very good, but I bet you voted for Obama anyway. At least you do have him figured out.
2. “And facts are selectively chosen to support a preconceived notion.” Sorry, you lost me here. Facts are facts and fantasy is fantasy. However, if I consider liberal translation, facts are a fantasy and they would treat a fantasy as facts. I think that’s what they are doing up in Washington these days. They are preaching to hoodwinked idiots with promises of fantasy using fantasy facts with a preconceived notion that everyone will sallow the B.S.
3. “How about providing some of your own truth and facts instead of spouting over generalizations about all the “individuals” that are demanding change, instead of grouping then all into one reason for what you don’t understand.” Do what? Scratching my head
Let’s give it a shot!
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”
These words are taken from The Declaration of Independence, written June 11 – 28, 1776, by one of our founding fathers and third President of the United States, Thomas Jefferson. Mr. Jefferson admits that we as people have a Creator and sets a foundation building America on Jew-Dao Christian principals, but we’ll come back to that. Mr. Jefferson states that we have Rights that include life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

Capitalism is an economic system in which wealth, and the means of producing wealth, are privately owned and controlled rather than commonly, publicly, or state-owned and controlled. (Wikipedia)
Socialism refers to a broad set of economic theories of social organization advocating public or state ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods, and a society characterized by equality for all individuals, with a fair or egalitarian method of compensation. (Wikipedia)
Under socialism a ruling class of intellectuals, bureaucrats and social planners decide what people want or what is good for society and then use the coercive power of the State to regulate, tax, and redistribute the wealth of those who work for a living. In other words, socialism is a form of legalized theft. (Socialism vs. Capitalism by: C. Bradley Thompson)
The morality of socialism can be summed-up in two words: envy and self-sacrifice. Envy is the desire to not only possess another’s wealth but also the desire to see another’s wealth lowered to the level of one’s own. Socialism’s teaching on self-sacrifice was nicely summarized by two of its greatest defenders, Hermann Goering and Bennito Mussolini. The highest principle of Nazism (National Socialism), said Goering, is: "Common good comes before private good." Fascism, said Mussolini, is " a life in which the individual, through the sacrifice of his own private interests’ realizes that completely spiritual existence in which his value as a man lies." (Socialism vs. Capitalism by: C. Bradley Thompson)
Sorry Louie but I’m not going to be happy if I have to work to get an education and then use that education to get a good job, so I can give half of what I earn to some liberal that has the same opportunity, but prefers to sit on their ass with outstretched hands expecting half of my happiness. Do I need to spell out what part of my anatomy they can kiss? Can you honestly say, and expect me to believe, that you are going to be happy having a ruling class of intellectuals, bureaucrats and social planners decide what you want or what is good for you, and you will have to accept it? It wasn’t too many years ago that this could be referred to as slavery, only with invisible chains.
It is both moral and just because the degree to which man rises or falls in society is determined by the degree to which he uses his mind. Capitalism is the only social system that rewards merit, ability and achievement, regardless of one’s birth or station in life. (Socialism vs. Capitalism by: C. Bradley Thompson)
Yes, there are winners and losers in capitalism. The winners are those who are honest, industrious, thoughtful, prudent, frugal, responsible, disciplined, and efficient. The losers are those who are shiftless, lazy, imprudent, extravagant, negligent, impractical, and inefficient. (Socialism vs. Capitalism by: C. Bradley Thompson)
Where do you want to be Louie? Would you prefer to be a conservative capitalist winner with an ability to think for yourself and enjoy the fruits of your labor, or do you prefer to be a liberal socialist loser giving what little you are allowed to earn to some ruling party that is going to tell you how you are going to live and what you are going to get to live with. Do you want some ruling party to say when you can have health care and when it is time for you to die? Do you need someone to think for you because you are not capable of thinking for yourself? Louie, where do you fit in this equation?
Moving back to Thomas Jefferson, he said;
“I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.”
“My reading of history convinces me that most bad government results from too much government.”
“The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not.”
“The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government.”
Our founding fathers were true patriots. I think they would be ashamed and disgraced by the caliber of individuals attempting to lead the great nation they created when the Creator was used to help them create it.
Abraham Lincoln said, “The philosophy of the school room in one generation will be the philosophy of government in the next.”
How true! The U. S. Supreme Court issued two bans on prayer in public schools. The first ban came in 1962 and the second was issued in 1963. The bans were the result of a court case sponsored in part by Madalyn Murray O'Hair. The ban not only outlawed prayer in public schools but it also banned Bible reading in public schools. Our schools, from only one generation of banning the Creator, are rewarding us now with ignorance in government of man trying to lead man without the help of God.
Our first President of the United States, George Washington said, “It is impossible to rightly govern a nation without God and the Bible.”
Son of President John Adams, President John Quincy Adams said, “The highest glory of the American Revolution was this: it connected in one indissoluble bond the principles of civil government with the principles of Christianity.”
I’m no preacher and I certainly don’t know the bible as well as I should. But, if I’m not mistaken, the bible says if a man will not work he should not eat. Anyone feel free to correct me on that please.
Now more than ever we need God back in government and true leaders at the helm. We definitely don’t have that now. We don’t have leadership from a leader that bows to a Muslim King, we don’t have it from leaders that say we are an arrogant people to another nation, we don’t have it from leaders that cower to other nations and say there’s nothing we can do about it. We just plain don’t have leaders. All we have is people filling a position in an office while the rest of the world laughs now.
Louie, are you getting the change you really want or are you just siding with a group of media brainwashed individuals that really has no idea of what is happening in government today?
Sorry Louie but you ask me the question. I don’t care much for liberals so I hope I didn’t offend you too much.

Jon Stewart said it best. You are the minority now. It's supposed to taste like a sh!t taco. The far right has been delt a death blow by normal people who are sick of this twisted BS. Give it a rest. You will get to vote again in 2012. It's called a democracy.
Thanks for catching what spell check didn’t. My proof reading isn’t what it should be.
I know you and your family personally for the past 40 years. We get along just fine and I know you are from good people so I won’t take offence, even of what was on the fringe of being a cheep shot. So you do like some liberals and don’t know it. It’s probably those who don’t let their views made public.
You cranked out a lot of quotes from individuals in American history. Many were made when a free and prosperous individual could only be white, male and a land owner. The irony of such statements always comes to mind. Boy, have things changed since then.
Who rules America is not who is in Washington but who holds the national financial wealth and net worth. The problem is 80 percent of the population is competing for 15.5 percent of the net worth and 8.8 percent of the financial wealth. What’s more alarming is the percentage is getting smaller. The top 10% of the population has 70% of the wealth compared to Canada where it is only 53% of the wealth.
I heard a wealthy man once say he would never worry about any threat from the poor because you can always hire one have to kill the other half. The middle class is blaming the lower class for all its wows thinking they are getting something for nothing and in many cases it may be true but it doesn’t compare to the up hill battle the middle class has to endure when the economic deck is stacked against him especially the cards are being dealt by the wealthy. Who do you really believe controls Washington? When Obama is elected based on grass roots politics it leads me to believe he may have a bit more of my interest at heart
Sorry, just can't imagine who you are unless you go by something other than Louie.
Why don't you call my mom and get my number and give me a call. Would be happy to chat. I promise to cheap shots. (X)
