Here’s how I see the reoccurring fundamentals, categorized on leftisfutile.com, applying to the following recent article:
Paul Krugman (August 7 2015). From Trump on Down, the Republicans Can’t Be Serious. Retrieved from http://www.nytimes.com/2015/08/07/opinion/paul-krugman-from-trump-on-down-the-republicans-cant-be-serious.html?ref=opinion&_r=0
Here we go again…
This was, according to many commentators, going to be the election cycle Republicans got to show off their “deep bench.” The race for the nomination would include experienced governors like Jeb Bush and Scott Walker, fresh thinkers like Rand Paul, and attractive new players like Marco Rubio. Instead, however, Donald Trump leads the field by a wide margin. What happened?
Republicans understand that LEFTISM IS FUTILE and fundamentally inferior. With all of Trump’s faults, he goes outside the stupid boundaries that is leftism and attacks the futility. He goes too far for my taste. But he is not as futile as leftism. LEFT IS FUNDAMENTALLY FUTILE and LEFT IS SYSTEMATICALLY FUTILE. Avoiding futility is why I will never vote left, with the author.
The answer, according to many of those who didn’t see it coming, is gullibility: People can’t tell the difference between someone who sounds as if he knows what he’s talking about and someone who is actually serious about the issues. And for sure there’s a lot of gullibility out there. But if you ask me, the pundits have been at least as gullible as the public, and still are.
Leftism needs gullibility to continue to run their REDISTRIBUTION BUSINESS for their own wealth and power. Leadership of leftism will surely seek to hide its greed behind leftism’s REDISTRIBUTION MORALITY. Leftism is only interested in its own empowerment. There are plenty of issues to be serious about. A major issue is to minimize leftism and its related futility.
For while it’s true that Mr. Trump is, fundamentally, an absurd figure, so are his rivals. If you pay attention to what any one of them is actually saying, as opposed to how he says it, you discover incoherence and extremism every bit as bad as anything Mr. Trump has to offer. And that’s not an accident: Talking nonsense is what you have to do to get anywhere in today’s Republican Party.
Leftism’s’ redistribution business is inferior for the majority of us. But not for its leadership and associates. Leftist leadership will gain wealth and power running leftism’s REDISTRIBUTION BUSINESS and will have a theme to hide its greed, because it claims to care. The caring is otherwise known as the REDISTRIBUTION MORALITY and is central to the REDISTRIBUTION BUSINESS. It will achieve INSTITUTIONALIZED FUTILTY OF EFFORT for the majority as they are on the wrong end of leftism’s redistribution business.
For example, Mr. Trump’s economic views, a sort of mishmash of standard conservative talking points and protectionism, are definitely confused. But is that any worse than Jeb Bush’s deep voodoo, his claim that he could double the underlying growth rate of the American economy? And Mr. Bush’s credibility isn’t helped by his evidence for that claim: the relatively rapid growth Florida experienced during the immense housing bubble that coincided with his time as governor.
Mr. Trump, famously, is a “birther” — someone who has questioned whether President Obama was born in the United States. But is that any worse than Scott Walker’s declaration that he isn’t sure whether the president is a Christian?
President Obama is a leftist, first. Just like Paul. We all know President Obama says he is a Christian. Who cares? He is a leftist and LEFT IS FUTILE. His professions of faith are of of no value. It is as a fart noise. Jesus was not the first leftist (socialist) because Jesus did all things for the glory of God. But LEFT IS FUTILE and a blight upon the earth. President Obama and Paul want to run and grow their REDISTRIBUTION BUSINESS. And they want to try to hide their greed for wealth and power behind the REDISTRIBUTION MORALITY. I’ve shown how the REDISTRIBUTION MORALITY is presented from leftism’s leadership in my blogs.
Mr. Trump’s declared intention to deport all illegal immigrants is definitely extreme, and would require deep violations of civil liberties. But are there any defenders of civil liberties in the modern G.O.P.? Notice how eagerly Rand Paul, self-described libertarian, has joined in the witch hunt against Planned Parenthood.
Planned Parenthood does not know the difference between women’s health care and killing not yet born human life. It’s all the same, one to the other. All of what they do is woman’s health care…. Blah… Blah… Blah! Their words point to the FUTILE AGREEMENT (The agreement that human life is fundamentally futile in the universe). The leftist futile mob would have all that oppose their futile utopia as extreme. The futility of leftism is inferior and not good enough for me. It comes down to a numbers game. Choose your side, the futile mob of leftists versus those of us that would avoid futility. Choose your side. I urge you to avoid futility, and by extension, avoid leftism.
And while Mr. Trump is definitely appealing to know-nothingism, Marco Rubio, climate change denier, has made “I’m not a scientist” his signature line. (Memo to Mr. Rubio: Presidents don’t have to be experts on everything, but they do need to listen to experts, and decide which ones to believe.)
As I’ve noted before, taking care of the planet is one thing. Turning over the controls to the animal farm pigs of leftism is another thing. Everything leftism does is to GROW THE REDISTRIBUTION BUSINESS. Leftists are creeps! If the earth does terminate from climate change, it will be because leftism poisons everything and is a blight upon the earth. I would rather die from climate change then live in the SLAVE MORALITY OF LEFTISM and futility of leftist rule!
The point is that while media puff pieces have portrayed Mr. Trump’s rivals as serious men — Jeb the moderate, Rand the original thinker, Marco the face of a new generation — their supposed seriousness is all surface. Judge them by positions as opposed to image, and what you have is a lineup of cranks. And as I said, this is no accident.
It has long been obvious that the conventions of political reporting and political commentary make it almost impossible to say the obvious — namely, that one of our two major parties has gone off the deep end. Or as the political analysts Thomas Mann and Norman Ornstein put it in their book “It’s Even Worse Than It Looks,” the G.O.P. has become an “insurgent outlier … unpersuaded by conventional understanding of facts, evidence, and science.” It’s a party that has no room for rational positions on many major issues.
On the other hand, LEFTISM IS FUTILE. I will avoid futility and that means there will be no vote for the left from me. John Lennon in his song ‘Imagine’ never mentioned it would be Orwell’s animal farm pigs of leftism managing all the stuff. Leftism’s protagonists work feverishly to maintain the REDISTRIBUTION BUSINESS, as we see in this article. Futility is not good enough for me. Leftism runs a numbers game. I will not join the futile mob of leftism.
Or to put it another way, modern Republican politicians can’t be serious — not if they want to win primaries and have any future within the party. Crank economics, crank science, crank foreign policy are all necessary parts of a candidate’s resume.
Until now, however, leading Republicans have generally tried to preserve a facade of respectability, helping the news media to maintain the pretense that it was dealing with a normal political party. What distinguishes Mr. Trump is not so much his positions as it is his lack of interest in maintaining appearances. And it turns out that the party’s base, which demands extremist positions, also prefers those positions delivered straight. Why is anyone surprised?
Remember how Mr. Trump was supposed to implode after his attack on John McCain? Mr. McCain epitomizes the strategy of sounding moderate while taking extreme positions, and is much loved by the press corps, which puts him on TV all the time. But Republican voters, it turns out, couldn’t care less about him.
Can Mr. Trump actually win the nomination? I have no idea. But even if he is eventually pushed aside, pay no attention to all the analyses you will read declaring a return to normal politics. That’s not going to happen; normal politics left the G.O.P. a long time ago. At most, we’ll see a return to normal hypocrisy, the kind that cloaks radical policies and contempt for evidence in conventional-sounding rhetoric. And that won’t be an improvement.
Blah, blah, blah…. What I want is leftism to dissolve along with all of its manifestations and associated futility. YOU NEED THE PIG, so vote left…. But you must remember, the futile mob and its leftist leadership needs your dutiful efforts (on the wrong end of their REDISTRIBUTION BUSINESS). Leftism’s futile inferior REDUSTRIBUTION BUSINESS needs YOU! Leftism is parasitical to good sense, morality, and effort.
