When It Comes To Grading In The School Of Reality, OTBL'ers Get Bad Marx


I love it when Chris the Admin over at www.ontheborderline.net gets on his trusty hobby horse and babbles on about how righteous the blogtroopers are on his site. What a hoot! Through Chris' excessive infusion of hot air, his OTBL blog site has been elevated to a shrine of whine. Listen to this self-serving quote from current typing tantrum "No Marx Here":

"Personally, I like to rephrase and transform the saying of the definition of societal culture to that of one in which I can control, that is my personal culture. You see we do have a choice in the matter. A trained eye can easily discern the negative and recognize the positive. One does not have to follow the path of victimization. I am not advocating ignorance. There is a place for the dissemination of the 'Negative' facts that contribute to an understanding of the matter at hand. But to dwell and emphasize on them is not healthy."

I don't know about you, but it would take me six to nine Blogger Lager's to come up with such an incomprehensible scramble of written incoherence.

Chris doesn't get the e-mails I do about how mean and nasty the participants are on his blog. Of course there's a few who want to have an intelligent debate, but generally it's a pack of junkyard dogs that bark and bite but don't know why. Chris and his disgruntled band of anti-community back-stabbers want to play to role of community watch dogs. Fine! I'll play the role of watch dog watcher.

Chris and his back-to-1776'ers ramble on and on about the holy Founding Fathers. They forget these white guys were human and where subject to the same human traits we all have. They weren't saints by a long shot. Read on below:

"I like to characterize those positive ideas and facts with thoughts and actions that are akin to the early Americans found right here in the United States. They thought in terms of liberty, freedom, independence, and self-determination. They saw unrestrained opportunities, choice, and were the first real free thinkers. They took control over their own property and developed a society built on pride of ownership. The world was their proverbial oyster. Their world was built on ideas and possibilities. The government's role was limited."

When I say our founding fathers were "hypocrites," I mean it. I'm a hypocrite. I can say one thing and do another. Who hasn't? Chris only tries to control the monkeys on his blog site that stray from his anti-public education, anti-union and anti-tax bias. That's why you don't see ANY positive postings concerning those three categories. If some one does comment positively on one of those categories, the junkyard dogs are out.

In his quote above, Chris tells us the founding fathers "thought in terms of liberty, freedom, independence, and self-determination." They might have "thought" in those terms, but how often they acted in those terms is up for debate. Jefferson, Washington, George Mason, etc. were slave owners. How do you think they had the time and resources to go up to Philadelphia or New York or Washington to be founding fathers?

Chris tells us the founding fathers "took control over their own property and developed a society built on pride of ownership. The world was their proverbial oyster. Their world was built on ideas and possibilities." Actually, they took control over the property of the Native Americans that were living here. The world was their "proverbial oyster," because they had the fire power to push the Indians west and the spread the diseases the sped up the rapid reduction in the Indians population. Their world was built on the idea that there was money to be made. It's called the "profit motive."

Of course, Chris tells us the "government's role was limited." How else could the founding fathers and the rest of our immigrant forefathers take over the contenient? If there would have be a government in place for the people, by the people, etc. there would not have been a "wild west." In fact the government experts spent decades and decades trying to prove that Blacks and Indians where sub-human.

So if what what I just wrote makes me a "socialist" or "collectivist," then fine. I would prefer to be labelled as someone who has done their homework and spent the past 35 years of his life learning about the history of this great nation called the United States. I've also studied the writings of Marx and other economists. Come to think of it, I majored in economics in college and minored in it in graduate school. I prefer to study about the history of economics and the great economists. When you do this, it helps put their theories in perspective with the historical background of the times. These economists -- like our founding fathers -- were not working in a vacuum.

I encourage you readers to go over and join www.ontheborderline.net. Make postive comments on their posts about public education or unions or say bad things about me. This is America, afterall. Once you get on the border blog site, you will quickly understand why the foudning fathers are so near and dear to their "hearts" of borderline bloggers. You will see that the words they type don't match the actions that take place there. That my friends is called "hypocrisy."

PS: I put in some "commie" symbols above to make Chris feel better. I'm still waiting for him to put the link to my site on his site. Did you notice, he's actually afraid to mention the name of this site on his site? There are probably two reasons why he won't do this: 1. the truth scares him; 2. he doesn't want to lead anybody to the truth.
