Ryan’s hope could be America’s nightmare

August 16, 2012 Filed under COMMENTARIES Posted by admin

Mitt Romney has selected Rep. Paul Ryan as his vice presidential running mate. Conservatives are hoping against hope that this selection will relaunch Romney’s campaign by providing the necessary policy focus that has been lacking up to this point.

Romney’s choice of Ryan was not as much of a bold move forward as it was a bad selection from a pool of bad options.

What ‘bright mind’?
Conservatives looked at Bobby Jindal, Tim Pawlenty, Chris Christie, Condi Rice and others as potential running mates for Romney.

Before Louisiana Governor Piyush “Bobby” Jindal started palling around with Romney he endorsed Texas Governor Rick Perry. Jindal is hailed as one of the “brightest minds in the Republican Party.” Can anyone honestly believe that ultra-conservative WASPs in the Republican Party would vote for a VP nominee named Piyush? That is almost as bad as a president whose middle name is Hussein.

Former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty would have had trouble overcoming his primary challenges to Romney’s health care initiatives. According to Pawlenty, “President Obama said that he designed Obamacare after Romneycare and basically made it Obamneycare…”

New Jersey Governor Christie understood that he was not ready. Former Secretary of State Rice’s perspective’s on affirmative action and abortion make her too liberal and I don’t see the GOP backing an African-American woman.

Usually during the primary process, a candidate will tack towards the extreme end of the political spectrum to capture their party’s nomination and jib back towards the center to capture the more moderate faction of the electorate in the general election. Romney tacked to the furthest extremes of ultra-conservative ideology by changing his positions on issues such as immigration, health care reform, and contraception. With Ryan’s selection, Romney has compounded his tack towards the right in an effort to convince ultra-conservatives that he’s really in their camp.

‘Starve the beast’
Ryan’s budget, his so-called “Path to Prosperity,” is actually the latest version of Reagan Administration Budget Director David Stockman’s “starve the beast” fiscal philosophy, a fiscal-political strategy to cut taxes in order to deprive the government of revenue in a deliberate effort to create a fiscal budget crisis.

Creating the crisis then allows conservatives to make the case for cutting the social programs –“the beast” they have opposed since their inception. They force the federal government to reduce spending by cutting programs rather than raising tax levels.

Ryan’s proposed cuts to social programs such as Medicare, Medicaid, food stamps, and housing assistance while maintaining the Bush-era tax cuts for the wealthy is a 2012 version of a failed 1980s idea. The “trickle down” economics of the Reagan era as applied during the Bush 43 era – what George H.W. Bush called “voodoo economics” – has contributed to the sinking fiscal boat America finds itself in today.

Part of the solution is to simply go back to the tax rates of the Clinton era. Congressman Bobby Scott’s idea of allowing the Bush-era tax cuts and the 2 percent payroll tax holiday to expire is a very simple way to revenues back on track. This would yield approximately $4 trillion to $5 trillion. The additional revenue could be immediately put towards direct job creation, such as investments in transportation and infrastructure.

Conservatives hope that adding Ryan will provide the policy focus that the campaign has sorely lacked. It’s bad policy with the wrong focus. Ryan’s hope would prove to be America’s nightmare.

Whites becoming a minority will be America’s nightmare:

Whites BUILT modern America. White ancestors did not work hard for the next generation to give the US away to non-Whites. (Only 2% of slave owners were White, and Jews owned most of the slave ships)

Non-Whites ADDED a little. (Including increased crime, new diseases, different customs, different habits, an increased tax burden, anti-White hatred, and an entitlement mentality)

You can’t maintain a 1st world nation with low IQ, 3rd world immigrants. High national IQ corresponds strongly to a high average living standard at 0.73. If Blacks indeed have a lower IQ than Whites, one could easily make the argument that sharing living spaces lowers the quality of life for Whites yet raises it for Blacks. (Science is not racist)

Racially diverse societies are a HUGE source of tension and conflict. Racially homogenous societies don’t suffer from racism and the BILLIONS spent annually on racism lawsuits.

If diversity was so natural, why are BILLIONS spent annually on Diversity programs, Tolerance programs, etc., and yet NO improvements have been forthcoming? Many Blacks who failed school in DC are getting PAID (using your money) to attend summer school.

Science has proven (see Harvard Professor Robert Putnam, Bowling alone) that people in diverse societies: 1. TRUST EACHOTHER LESS (including their own race), 2. are LESS LIKELY TO GIVE TO CHARITY, and 3. are LESS HAPPY.

WHITES ARE THE ONLY RACE CELEBRATING DIVERSITY AS THEY BECOME MINORITIES IN THEIR OWN SOCIETY.

Where are non-Whites going to get their welfare from when Whites become a minority? No welfare = HUGE Hispanic and Black riots.

Non-Whites love White societies because Whites build the best societies.

Only Whites are crazy enough to spend BILLIONS on illegal immigrant welfare. No other race is stupid enough to do that.

Whites altruistic behavior and moral universalism is destroying their own civilization.

Many Whites don’t realize, non-Whites don’t play by White rules, and never will.

Will non-Whites give Whites minority benefits when Whites become a minority? NOPE !

Most Whites lack a racial consciousness. Most non-Whites are loyal to their own race. BIRDS OF A FEATHER FLOCK TOGETHER?

Many Whites hate on their own race (Most are Liberals and have been instilled with WHITE GUILT by the anti-White media ). Liberals appeal to EMOTION, not SCIENCE.

Would America have become a first world nation if Whites had never colonized it? NOPE !

Most White immigrants assimilate after one generation. Most non-Whites never assimilate.

Different races are suited to being governed by different sets of laws that suit their own racial attributes.

Liberals LOVE diversity, but usually choose to live in White neighborhoods.

Embracers of racial diversity STILL don’t understand, your race is your nation, AND, if the race is good, so is the place.

Many Whites STILL don’t understand, non-Whites view their own race as their nation. Blood is thicker than water. Nationalism trumps patriotism.

QUESTION: What can Whites do to prevent themselves from becoming a minority? (Except for having more kids)

Racial diversity = less Whites = more crime = more poverty.

Africa for Africans. Asia for Asians. White countries for everyone? DIEversity only benefits non-Whites.

Taiwan, Japan, and China are thriving because they are racially homogenous, high IQ societies
