My measly 1.5 Million looks sort of sad now

You know, I was going to brag on the blog today because I just noticed that, at 1,473,925 and climbing, this blog will soon pass the 1.5 million-page view mark. Like, within the coming month — maybe two weeks, maybe three.

I thought that was pretty cool because it took three whole years to reach a million, and here we are at half again that much just nine months later.

But then Tim Geithner comes out with that 1.5 Trillion number, and I just don't feel so special anymore…

    Rahm Emmanuel speech on using crisis as propaganda
    The Opportunities of Crisis

    These tactics come straight out of communist agitation and propaganda training. Obama and his team of socialists are quite familiar with this training.
    “And Not a Shot is Fired” by Jan Kozak , explains this entire strategy. Jan Kozak, who was then a member of the Czechoslovak
    Communist Party Central Committee, explains how a free government was actually transformed into a totalitarian dictatorship – legally.
    The creation of “emergencies” is a part of the totalitarian agenda. The creation of “emergencies” gives the government an excuse to “crack down”. Then the creation of tyranny becomes justifiable and inevitable.

    I get the point without looking. Crisis creates opportunity. But it works that way for everybody, not just Bolsheviks. Whenever things are falling apart, there are chances to do things you couldn’t do otherwise. Napoleon’s wars in Europe gave Jefferson the chance to pick up half the continental U.S. at a bargain (and thank goodness he SAW the opportunity and broke out of his small-gummint shell long enough to take advantage of it). 9/11 gave Bush the opportunity to take out Saddam. The economic crisis gives Obama the chance to do things he couldn’t do otherwise. It’s the way the world works.

    It’s funny that a newspaper man would tell me he doesn’t need to read, don’t you think.
    That’s why you still don’t know what a socialist is, what a libertarian is, who Rahm Emmanuel is or who Hussein Obama is.
    The man who does not read is no better off than the man who cannot read.

    Reading Lee “The man who does not read is no better off than the man who cannot read” reminds me of something I saw in a magazine article yesterday. A man at a Motel 6 told the article writer that he only read the King James Version, with the rationale that “If English was good enough for Jesus Christ, it’s good enough for me.” Trying posting in Aramaic, Lee. It may make your posts more credible.

    Which translation of the Bible do you read, Mr. Gordy, and why?
    I read several translations, then look at the Greek, in order to get a perspective on what message the authors and speakers meant to convey.
    Brad Warthen’s post reveals why he has such a shallow concept of socialism, libertarianism, and the American system of government. That shallowness is why he is tilting at straw men, and supporting straw leaders.
