Dominance Games / Politics

The plaster saints of self indulgent bores.

Why battle over eduction?  The students are studious.  The teachers are teacherous.  The  reformers are treacherous.  The politicians  are unfathomable.  The talkers hate public anything.

Teaching is an easy rewording job.  It is easy to get new teachers to  last three years.  Millions will be streaming into its ranks so that they get get dumped upon, lose union rights, be at the mercy of political hacks and education Nazis.

Go work for those who hate you, devalue you, take away a your autonomy in the classroom.  Go work for those who know better than you how to do your job, want to make points over and over again with the anti intellectuals who don’t give a damn about learning , education, enlightenment…. who are agenda junkies who never met a whipping boy they didn’t love.

Its the manna from heaven stupid, the rancid power brokers stupid.  Its the movement for feel good reforms stupid.  Its the hate those who know something stupid.  Its the all purpose hate the unions stupid.  Its the hate any thing smacking of liberal arts stupid.  Its the what is science stupid.  Its the control of the curriculum stupid.  Its the control of the curriculum stupid, now and forever.

Its about the children as in how sweet and meaningless an image to sell to those so inclined to get on my bandwagon, stupid.   Entertain them to death, the poor little children….call on them not to be responsible, to never self motivate.

Its about the stupid police, stupid.  Its always about the stupid police.

Dominance Games: The damned poor

Posted in Commentary, current events, News, opinion, political analysis, Politics with tags , , , , , on September 5, 2011 by B Schiff

Dominance Games / Politics

It is good to be poor.  Be poor and the whole world beats a path to your door.  The non poor cant but get through a day without fixating on the drag you are on their lives, their taxes, their economy, the pristine glamor of the existence they aspire to and envision.  The non poor with a heart can use you to beat over the heads the heartless clods who know that you steal from them and give back nothing in return but mean stares and intimidating walks.

So much energy fixating on the failure of the poor not to be poor, the failure of the poor not to aspire to a well placed job merely at the poverty level.  And the poor pay no taxes…..they don’t pay their fair share. of their fair wages….they don’t appreciate that those who are not poor are better than they are and have no obligation to help them.   Charity is for those so inclined…not for those who only must take care of their own…..

The social contract… I will be poor and accept it if I think it is a fairly fair distribution of goods and services and if you, you rotten bastards who despise me are strong enough, have force enough for me to accept my lot.   I am poor because I cant find a good, workable way out.  Lazy is as lazy does.  Travel in my shoes you who are better than me .  I am poor because I cant game the system any better.  Give me no options…what the hell do I got.   You charmers …what are my incentives?  Your lot is to  incentify me to believe that your carrots and sticks are the way of the world.  Tomorrow will bring you a better day…if I live that long.  Me, it will bring servitude

Many of the poor go along with such things.  The power of demonetization, and false prophets.

Dominance Games: A smack in the face

Posted in Commentary, current events, dominance, News, opinion, Politics with tags , , , , , on September 4, 2011 by B Schiff

Dominance Games / Politics

A smack in the face.  A slap upside the head.  A full roundhouse with mean results.  A shiv in the gut.  A two by four backside the ribs.  A cinder block to crack the back.  The lullaby of broad swords.

The cries in the night of the broken and humbled.  The whimpers of the weak and scared.  Kill wise, street wise .. street smarts, street justice, street rules.  Sainted politics unbridled, unhinged, unwanted, unapologetic.  Screw civility, decency, respect.  This is America, the land of freedom, of rugged individualism, of hard knocks, of mean enemies.  This is America, land of tough as nails, go damned hard and mean for it, hell or be damned.  This is America, the right place, the right time, the right way to take a buck, break a rival, play the ponies, capture the flag.  This is America…cry and be damned.  Go to mommy and the sob sisters of poor little you.

Walk down the street, get mugged.  Tough.  Walk up the street, get jumped and dragged into the weeds.  Tough.  Stand on the corner and try to find your way…get sideswiped by a truck.  Mean  guys are in the games with the big prizes.  Street wise punks had better get wiser still.  Those who deplore the streets are red meat.

Cry the poor little put upon weak politicians.

Dominance Games: The up yours business

Posted in Commentary, current events, dominance, News, opinion, Politics with tags , , , , , , on September 3, 2011 by B Schiff

Dominance Games / Politics

All of the geniuses have plans.  They have economic plans.  They have jobs plans.  They have plans to get their brother in  laws a job.

All of the geniuses promise that if a A happens then B happens then C happens  then the stars shine brighter, the sun caresses warmly.

Has there ever been a plan that was anything more than political fodder playing to political wants, hates, prejudice, lust.  Has there ever been a plan that had the slightest chance of seeing the light of day once its useful moment has passed, once reality bit it in the wrong place?

Has there ever been a commission that has been more than window dressing?  Has there ever been sound words that have not been ignored, lame words that have not been taken to heart.

Plans and commissions are in the gloss over business.  The real action is in the up yours business.  Follow the hate.

Dominance Games: It’s the politics stupid

Posted in Commentary, current events, dominance, News, opinion, Politics with tags , , , , , on September 1, 2011 by B Schiff

Dominance Games / Politics

So, what enthralls us going forward into glorious autumn?

It’s the politics stupid.  It’s the show, the sun, the cheap saloons, the stunts, the runts, the rascals, the clowns.  It’s the villains, the scum, the lords, the masters.

It’s the politics stupid.  It’s the talk, the squawk, the spies, the lies, the sins, the spins, the sprinkles of dew.  It’s the politics stupid.  The rants, the raves, the prancers, the dancers.  The running of the bulls, the choirs of the night, the messengers from god, the songs from mammon, the hateful hates, the favorite sons, the favorite guns, the favorite suns.

It’s the politics stupid.  The steady haze, the frosty glare, the wistful sneer, the true beliefs.  It’s the politics stupid.  The holy rollers, the holy redeemers, the Knights Templars, the rats in a cage.

It’s the selling of the trolls, the souls, the buying of the betrayals of loves, the pandering to fish, the abstinence from thought, the self love of self involvement, of self absorption, self decapitation, self promotion, selves wonderful.

It’s the politics stupid.  The charm, the grace, the criers, the buyers, the deniers, the crowds.  It’s the politics stupid.  The flames, the games, the foibles, the trips.  Its the traps, the plays, the bathos, the pathos, the dirty little limericks, the fretful little brows.

It’s the politics stupid.  The incoherent thoughts of incoherent fools and dead folk out for a stroll.  It’s the politics stupid. The demon’s dance, the mysteries of life, the gifts of light.

Minds working, smoking, seeking, praying, straying, gone.  It’s the politics stupid. It’s the angels dancing, promises lost, hearts broken.

It’s the politics stupid.  The end of the line, the rules of the game, the never ending chance to never seek redemption.

Dominance Games: American Exceptionalism ll

Posted in Commentary, current events, dominance, News, opinion, political science, Politics with tags , , , , , , on August 25, 2011 by B Schiff

Dominance Games / Politics

A hell of a great country.  The rugged individual, the not so rugged individual can buck the system, pursue prurient dreams, become a hell of man, becomes a hell of a woman.

A hell of a great country.  Freedom is an aspiration.  Freedom of movement is an act from god.  Freedom of thought is an untarnished ideal of angels.  Freedom from fools is not always guaranteed.

Work hard and succeed….. when there is work.  Think hard and succeed…. when there is education.  Charge hard when the road is not blocked.  Charge harder when it is.  Go out in style when there is no pie left to divvy up.

The sacred images, the ideals, the kind hearts and coronets.  The dream lovely, lofty, a giant of a dream.  The pursuits of man, of woman, his or her path to greatness…the magnificent cause celeb in human events….. the chance.  The wonder, the magnificent wonder….inspired, inspiring, haunting.

Kill the suckers who fall down and are left behind.  Make the poor bastards go away and hide.  Play musical chairs with the musical entry into the shadowy image of the dwindling middle classes and see simple dreams thrown back into the faces of the believers.

Keep the chances coming.  Inherit the winds of change.  Ride the backs of the bucking broncs of toughness.  Stand for progress.  Stand for work, striving, the individual unfettered and left to fend for himself.  Tough can survive anything…even the lack of sustenance and the rings of fire around chance.  There should never be however that little help from ones friends…and ones friends need only be the ones that make one jump through the hoops submissiveness and do the dances of subservience.

Strive to let all keep heads high with respect golden and paths shining and out of hell.  No paths … grow a muscle.

Trickle down the follies of avarice.  Trickle them down and set up a pool for drowning.  Just watch out who ends in the pool in the end.  Tough is good.  Mean is better.

Dominance Games: Bias

Posted in current events, dominance, News, opinion, Politics with tags , , , , , on August 22, 2011 by B Schiff

Dominance Games / Politics

There is not really a deep bias towards simplicity and dullness in our political class.  It just seems that way because of that which they say and do.  There is not really a deep bias towards simplicity and dullness in our chattering class.  It merely seems that way because of that which they say and do.  They all open their mouths and do the Herculean deed of speaking in complete recognizable sentences.

There is not really a deep bias towards simplicity and dullness in our news and views class, our information and our attention span class.  It merely seems that way because of that which they say and do.    The proud delights of dumbing reinforcement abound in the proud delights of the snaking mantras of the sirens of the songs of bate and lust that are our daily bread.

There is not really a deep bias towards simplicity and dullness in our wants and dreams class.  It merely seems that way because of that which they say and do.  We are all tired souls who are too lazy not to dance with the ones what brung us and the one what brung us are useless and there.

There is not really a deep bias towards simplicity and dullness in our hunt for the joys and privileges of stroking more and more self satisfied glory hounds class.  It merely seems that way because of that which they say and do.   We who have the substance of air and the stability nitro glycerine salute the brave and the demure.

There is not really a deep bias towards simplicity and dullness in our minds, hearts,  listening habits, our sweet reason reason class.  That is accepted glory.  A bias towards form and substance, symmetry and verve, anything else would be treason.  Sentient beings and hard assed comeuppance to overt stupidity are a danger to survival.  God damn please a bias towards tough minded reason.

Dominance Games: Gone with the wind

Posted in current events, dominance, News, opinion, Politics with tags , , , , on August 21, 2011 by B Schiff

Dominance Games / Politics

Once upon a time there were honest to goodness people with honest to goodness feeling that individuals with honest to goodness stature and gravitas were not to be taken as or made to be the butts of jokes and labeled by the inbred dumb as far too staid, stentorian, measured, thoughtful, enlightened to be considered as anything other than a mad caricature of a certoonish high school principal or a needless boring uncle who seems to know too damned much.

Honor falls not today upon the worldly and wise.  Respect falls not today upon the responsible and true.  By definition, the elite, the worldly and wise are morally bankrupt elitists by nature, elitists by will, elitists insight, elitists by understanding.  Tinker with thought, gravitate towards deliberation, have not the fire in the belly to bay at the moon ….. be an abject failure and no excuse for a man.  Have headaches from unreasoned slogans in the thinking, let alone the telling and be a weak link in a dead chain

The self aggrandizing preeners who have the temerity to actually know some things that the happy dull populi do not are surly worth giving the mark of Cain.  Such folk are vile beyond their pretensions and their cystic flair.  They are of and for the useless drivel that respects things cultural and humanistic, realistic and tough.  learning, deliberation, knowledge, thought brought into the equations of hard decisions are for school girls and infants.

These are the constituencies of the non faithful, the questioners, the non didactic, the skeptics.  These are the weak sisters who are  that which the ignorant wish them to seem.

The future lies with those of action and certainty, those of bluff and megalomania, those of noxious speech and little respect for the quality of public discourse, the pandering to public nonsense.  The future lies with the vacant and the empty…… they have less to lose when they empty their heads in order to open their mouths.  Mostly nothing.

Dominance Games: Rational agendas have no constituencies

Posted in current events, dominance, News, opinion, Politics with tags , , , , on August 19, 2011 by B Schiff

Dominance Games / Politics

It isn’t so lame or innocuous any more to feel constantly disheartened as talk, debate, speech, interview today happily exists as just one big jellying hyper cloud of haunting dimwits with base metal tarnishing appeal.  Arguing over and again and again and over that their points are valid because they wish them to be so, that their points are valid because because they make their enemies look bad, that their points are valid because they make their enemies look vile and useless, that their points are valid because because they are not really able to or capable of gathering any real facts or drawing any real right and honest to goodness logical conclusions.

False argument, a total denial of scientific method, a fond denial of conclusions built upon solid testable premise… ahhh, the rage and all the profit.  When appealing to the searing self justifying emotions and abject hate of demonizing wonders one must use the tools at hand, the tools of the trade… one must throw out and master the big lie, throw out and master the loud voice, the love for mother and country, the call to arms, the call to freedom, the call to the rights of all individuals to be brazen know nothings and false idiot savants.

The small dreams and pitiful yearnings of those who are the truth and true believers of their own minds will spare us not our righteous bores, our intimidating clowns, our scornful vessels incapable of synthesizing two opposing ideas….incapable of understanding two opposing ideas.  Love instead the thought police.

the trash of public discourse has many containers, many walking toxic junk piles and wiggling junk heaps.  Little filters of any note stand straight against raging loudmouth shriekers and bullying honorees.  Who to question the logic, the hypocrisy, the false equivalency of mouthed dribble.  Who to not promote the same and more.  Tis always agenda time on the dweeby merry go round…. always agenda time and eternal virus of hoof and mouth….all  slick and sick agendas are honored and bagged for ratings. Rational agendas have no constituencies.

Dominance Games: Trust ll

Posted in current events, News, opinion, Politics with tags , , , , on August 17, 2011 by B Schiff

Dominance Games / Politics………

There are all of the various and sundry monopolies, oligarchies, crushing plutocracies.  There are all of the various forms of venal despotism, authoritarianism.  state communism, fascism  There is always the innate fear of the private pirates, too big to fail, bigger than a bread box, more powerful than a boat load of ineffective governments.  There is always the innate fear of the overbearing state pigeon holing movement , defining movement, corralling thought and movement.

Always there is justifiable fear of the extreme life sucking excesses, the extreme life sucking excesses of the killers, owners, breakers, banal and evil micro managers of  gloaming of pride and lofty pursuit.

All folk great and small wish trust to be a factor.  All folk great and small wish trust in the self regulation of the powerful, trust that those unfettered by balancing forces will do no harm. All folk great and small like to dream the good dream, refuse to identify the marches of reality with their own forces of choice, refuse to identify the marches of reality with the enemies of their enemies.

Self righteous partisans see no harm, feel no threats, talk talks vile, eat sweet meats of false faith.  Who checks the bosses?  Who afflicts the comfortable, comforts the afflicted.  Who believes in the tooth fairies of assigned good intentions?

The public good is always best served by the free hands of the power classes.  Give it too them, power.  They will run with it.
