Let me throw two names out at you. Joe Rogan and Stefan Molyneux. I like both of these guys, a lot. They both get really deep on all sorts of great subjects. I listen to them both regularly. One of my only beefs I have with them is they both put on a really long show every day. Like on the tune of three hours a day. I don't have that type of extra time to spend, daily, even though it would be worth it. So, what I end up doing is picking and choosing from their shows every few weeks, or just randomly listening to them and sometimes I come across a great show.
Well, doing that random searching today, I came across the mother load, a show with them talking to each other. It was nothing less than three hours of two great uninhibited politically incorrect minds talking about anything that comes to mind. It was great and well worth the time spent.
I am kind of feeling a bit lazy of late. Kind of slacking one could say. Been reading a lot, on the net and actual books. I'm kinda in a mood today. Not a bad mood, just a mood. Instead of inteligently ranting on a subject as I normally do here at TOA. I am going to let someone else do that.
Men and Women like this need some sort of legitimacy. They need it so they can go back to where ever it is they came from and see their families, take care of business, what ever, and then come back and work. They need it so they can be protected under our laws, or maybe some sort of special laws for temp workers. Kind of like a military Status of Forces Agreement, or SOFA for us in the know. They need it so they can be differentiated from the people who are trying to immigrate to this country legally and illegally. They need it for lots of reasons.
I love the fact that she said there and never Americans working in the fields. That one always made me laugh. No American is getting a pink slip from picking strawberrys because some Mexican took their job. I agree with her that their needs to be better pay. If all fresh fruit and vegitables were 10% more expensive tomorow, and I knew that money was actually going to go to the workers, I would happily pay it. But, I know that most if not all hikes in prices will be eaten up along the chain somewhere before it gets to the worker.
I know some of you are going to be like "what chu talking about TOA?" Well, just look at our country. TOA is not anti immigrant, he was an immigrant. Well, not me, I am the voice of TOA, I am talking about the people who came to this land and made this country. The original Orthodox Americans. Or the ones who took it over from the natives, but we are not talking about that today. Look how America came to have all the types of people it has. I just heard a storty about a typical day in the early 1900s on Elis Island. There were some days where 10,000 were proccesed through. On most days it was 5,000. Now look at ObamaCare, they can't even handle 6 people a day on the freaking internet! Maybe they should get some pencils and paper and set up some islands. Nah, you can't fix broke that easy. At least not something broke that big. I digress, kinda.
So, my solution, does it matter? I could have the best solution in the world, and it will never be considered or implemented. Congress with either do something stupid or do nothing at all.
I take that back. I do have suggestions. This could start being fixed by holding business feet to the fire. They can't give money to a worker who does not have the proper documentation. Make that documentation much easier to get. You hire someone with out, your whole chain of command from the person who hired to the CEO goes to jail. For even as something as short as a week or a month. That shit would stop right quick. Then knowing they can't get hired with out documentation, all workers would seek out getting said documentation. They would seek legitimacy, imagine that. So obviously it is the immigration system that is massively broke now since most seek illegitimacy. With little fear of the system. There will always be a black market and under the table, but most major farms and plants, would abide. Another idea would be to have a sponsor that would have to be held responcible for your actions. You and your guest would have to report to someone, kind of like a parole situation. Hey, it's just an idea, and I would probably have lots of problems with any situation they set up. But as far as I can tell, my 10 minutes of brain storming with myself is just as good or better then anything Congress has done in 40 or 50 years. Booya!
Peace Out, and it was not that short. I stopped, I could have gone on for much longer.
P.S. What really pisses me off is the American citizens who sit on their couches and do nothing and get free government money and services. There are jobs out there. I bet you can get a job in a field somewhere in America any day of the year. But many, or even most, who are on the government tit are too proud or lazy or have a million other excuses why they can't or won't do what this woman has done for going on 20 years. Maybe if there was no welfare or food stamps or Obama Phones, there would be more Americans in those fields working beside her. No effing excuse!
Will we only know after it's too late? I would tend to agree with most, but that would imply competence and long term strategical thinking/plotting, and I don't think Obama, his handlers or his foot soldiers are capable of that. Especially not on that scale or time line. Or are they?
When will we know? Either after things get better or after they are much worse.
This is some good great stuff. I agree with most of what comes of his crazy mouth. Why be complicit? Why feed and be part of the a broken/fixed system? Why do we have to pick between the lesser of two evils? In the US, the Democrats are awesome at creating and exacerbating problems. And the Republicans are great at exacerbating and creating problems. We all agree, there are many complex problems, and I stress MANY and COMPLEX. Some of the problems are old, and some of those problems are new. Group A and group B are the ones that created the problems. Why would be keep on putting them back into office? We don't have to pick from either group A or group B. We can pick group C or we can say, none of my choices are any good at all, I'm opting out.
He is also right, there will be a revolution, or maybe a few revolutions. As we have seen a few time in the past 100 years, power is not given up easily. We are seeing that now in Syria. How's it going to look in Boston? Or LA, or New York or Chicago. Will it be peaceful? Some dude or dudette will come off the street, speak to the people, get elected, and change everything. Unlikely. Will it be a little messy? Shut down food stamps for a few weeks and things will not be peaceful at all, they will for sure get messy. Or more like a civil rights or occupy, semi peaceful, semi messy, isolated skirmishes and deaths on both sides, leading to reforms, but not really change. Or like it always seems to end up, with a fearful state and an angry and hungry and disenfranchised populous, that is normally dealt with or solved with jackboots and marshal law. None of those are impossible, they have happened around the world, over and over in the past century, on very large scales. Why would America be immune. America was born out of revolution.
The people who are in charge now, and people who will be running in 2014 and 2016 have no desire to change or fix things. They are the same people who have been part of the problem for most if not all of their adult life. They are A or B.
Like Russell, I can see there are problems, I don't have the answers, but I know sure as hell 99% of the people who will be on the ballot don't have the answers either, and truth be told, they aren't much interested in the answers, or even admitting there is a problem, or that THEY are the problem.
So, BZ to you Russel Brand, for being crazy, truthful and deadly accurate. Advice? No incumbents, vote third party, or opt out.
If you have spent as many years as this woman has having to type every word that these pompous-overpaid-hypocritcal idiots say, you might lose it one day too.
I celebrate this outburst. BZ Diane Reidy and I hope you are ok and doing well. FoxNews
I am going to make it nice and easy for the readers of TOA this weekend. Today you don't even need to read. Just sit back and watch (or listen).
The first video is from Learn Liberty (Learn Liberty and Learn Liberty YouTube). As a few of my lefty type friends have said before, if we just tax the rich people more, all problems (money) will be solved. The government just needs more money. (1) Everyone knows deep down inside that is not true. The Government is very good at spending all they have, no matter what that number is. Not only do they spend it all, they spend it all, plus more! This video does a good job at breaking that down. It is short, and has graphics, so you do need to watch.
This next video will take it bit more for the non rational types to accept with an open mind. It is a video of Glenn Beck speaking. Gasp! Ahhh, Devil, Tea Bagger, Mormon! Ahhh. I know, but take a breath, a nice deep breath, and read, and watch. When you are done with this video, and you still are saying he is the devil, or the Tea Party is the devil, just imagine what you just watched as a transcript. Then imagine before you read that transcript you were told it was a transcript of Barack Obama, or Hillary Clinton or Elizabeth Warren. Would you then be like, what a great speech, what a great message, what a great leader. Well, that is how I perceive GB. His words, his deeds, his message are all positive and if they were said by anyone from the Left, they would be hailed as great and wise. So, BZ GB, keep doing what your doing, and saying what you're saying. It's 17 mins, and you don't need to actually watch it, just listening is fine. A few quotes from around the 13 min mark. The part that really made me want to share this:
Common sense eventually kicks in. Let's treat each other with respect. I don't need to control your life, you don't need to control my life. Let's live like free men. Let's live like decent Americans.
This is not fake, not from the Onion or anything like that. This is real. From real Progressive Lefty types. I am all for fair and just and necessary taxation, but one called the Robin Hood Tax strikes right at the heart of the Progressive mindset. Steal from the rich and give to the poor. Key word STEAL. More evidence that taxation is theft. It really is.
