My take: Congratulations Mr. President, but It's really over for all of us

The only thing right today is that moderate Republicans 

don't win presidential elections.

Well, the people have spoken and I'm genuinely surprised — and shattered. Everything I believed was utterly wrong, beginning with that sure as hell "Romney victory" factoid. And if Obama won - he really won - there's isn't much we can do anymore since this is the best we can do. The republican electorate wasn't motivated — it was fired up at its utmost. The despair was at the other side. The positivism for a better future was Romney's, not Obama's.

Well, the people have spoken and I'm genuinely surprised — and shattered. Everything I believed was utterly wrong, beginning with that "polls are wrong" factoid. They were pretty accurate. And now I believe that all what pundits and experts talked about time and demography against Republicans and conservatives is completely true. The left has won its long-term battle. Don't expect big changes in the future, since the european welfare state is what people really want.

And if Obama won - he really won - there's isn't much we can do anymore since this is the best we can do.

Well, the people have spoken and I'm genuinely surprised — and shattered. Everything I believed was utterly wrong, beginning with that "common sense will prevail" factoid. Paul Krugman (Paul Krugman!) wasn't a deluded fool in this case. Elizabeth Warren won her Senate race. Apparently, Massachusetts still owes big time the late Teddy Kennedy and doesn't really care about making up your background and plagiarizing as a lifestyle pays big as long as you're progressive enough. Todd Akin got his just desserts and that's pretty much it. Having half of one of the branches of public power is not enough to stop anything. Kagan and Sotomayor will be known in the future as the "moderate faction" of the new Supreme Court.

Well, the people have spoken and I'm genuinely surprised — and shattered. Everything I believed was utterly wrong, beginning with that "Benghazi will sink Obama" factoid. The MSM won this round, too. They are now entitled to get away with everything they feel they can do. They are not paying the price for their dishonest misdeeds. Why should they? 

I'm giving the political punditry for a long, long while. I might be still right but the electorate said I'm wrong. And I don't want to be right for what it might be coming. Now Obama has all the flexibility he really wanted  — Russia can rush to make that phone call again. Israel is now officially isolated and  Iran can finish that little nuclear program — and any other nation feeling entitled to it, too.

If there's anything we have learned in the past four years, it's that the United States of America can survive a long time without a proper budget. The fiscal cliff and the trillion deficit are still awaiting for an answer that didn't come these last four years. The investment climate is non existent — except for cronies. Obamacare will really take place, America will make full transition to european social democracy (Greece, make some space for America, please) and John G. Roberts has nobody to thank for that but himself.

Yeah, I was wrong when I expected a Republican to win this time. But that won't make the actual problems disappear. People have chosen to made them even worse. 

Brace yourself, Mark Steyn. This is what you were talking about.

You can get away with intellectual dishonesty at Harvard

Something is rotten in the state of Denmark. Shakespeare’s supercliché doesn’t begin to describe what is going on in Harvard. With time, it’s natural to expect a hidden skeleton in a family’s house. But in Harvardian Alma Mater there seems to be a full ossuary in plain wiew, for those who like to keep track and don’t buy the way the mainstream media oversees this, and it’s evident that more than a culture of plagiarizing has set camp in the most prestigious college in America. It’s more of a “We can get away with anything” culture. 

Witness Fareed Zakaria. This particularly egregious Harvard alumnus, one of the shapers of the current derrotist American state of mind, has been caught red-handed plagiarizing paragraphs from the New Yorker for a piece he wrote for Time Magazine and CNN, and “repeating himself” in a lot of his conferences. He was “temporarily” suspended, and cynically reinstated after his deed was deemed as an “isolated incident”. And Jayson Blair is a sucker. 

Witness Elizabeth Warren. She has done very little of substance to refute the serious charges of gaming the affirmative action system to get hired in Harvard, only to drop her minority status when she no longer found it suitable, only to conveniently reclaim it now that she’s running against Scott Brown for “Ted Kennedy’s” senatorial seat in Massachusetts. Not satisfied with this, she claims to be the first nursing woman to pass the bar exam in the bluest of the blue states in America. Not content with this, she has been caught red-handed plagiarizing receipts for a “native” cookbook. And she still has a chance to win the election. 

Witness 125 Harvard University undergraduates being investigated for plagiarism on a final exam earlier this year, “the most widespread cheating scandal in living memory”, according to college officials. Hey, I told you those brilliant kids study at Harvard; and they think they can get away with anything. 

The list could go on and on, but just by mentioning SCOTUS Elena Kagan and her mishandling of yet another plagiarism case when she was the dean of Harvard Law School, for instance, it could suffice to prove how the “We can get away with anything” culture permeates everything. The fact is, the most famous college in America is more concerned with political correctness and influence than with academic excellence, and this is what they get. 

Not to mention truth.

You didn't build that: An old lady with new clothes

Wonka is one of us...

Progressives and liberals of the world were embracing themselves with pure joy when Elizabeth Warren and barack Obama uttered their "Nobody gets rich on their own" or "You didn't build that" theory. The argument sounds so righteous, so true that these central-planned economy, government lovers never realized that the fundamental cornerstone of this sophism is that working people would necessarily have to use always the exactly same effort and have exactly the same skills (and have exactly the same intentions) to make this plausible.

In other words, individual talent could not create wealth on its own.

As a matter of fact, Karl Marx occupied himself (pun intended) with this particular wealth creation conundrum. And found the answer in ridicule: he labeled the individual wealth creation notion as a "Robinsonade", i.e., he found the Robinson Crusoe novel utter ridiculous as it was a silly fantasy to think of an organized man using the rests of a wreckage to organize himself in a deserted island.

Up to this day the term "Robinsonade" still lives in the marxist lexicon. Just google it.

Obama and Warren just found the way to make the old meme more fashionable, since the most that the current pop culture can bear about castaways are "Gilligan's Island" and "Lost". Robinson Crusoe would have made them... so unhip.

A marxist, a liberal, a socialist and a progressive can cover their ears and sing "lalalalala" at the top of their lungs, but they can't deny that as species, individual humans learned to use the fruits of nature to store them and create wealth. Stones were turned into axes and knives, fibers and wood were turned into arcs and arrows, and so on. 

The same way it could be done today.

Now talk about me about how centrists are those modern Democrats. "You didn't build that"? Please tell me more about how this has nothing to do with marxism.

A-Holes of 2012 - First Semester Edition!

I admit it: I was planning to start June with this traditional post with a recount of the most conspicuous A-Holes under the sipmacrants! radar, but I couldn’t wait until then. So, without further ado, let’s see the A-Holes of 2012, Summer Edition!
 

1.    Elizabeth Warren: minority status in modern America confers you sort of invulnerability. It is difficult to criticize a minority representative without appearing /being labeled as an insensitive bastard bigoted sexist racist. That said, it is utter dishonest to claim Native American ancestry in a Harvard application, drop it after several years, and reclaim it for your political career (while your actual ancestry is of the purest oppressors). Add a dubious book about native American cooking with plagiarized receipts of meals that doesn’t resemble native diet AT ALL, and the perfect political storm is about to be served. The Verdict: A fraudulent lying A-Hole.  
 

2.    Francisco Rojas Birry: A country opens its political institutions to those that where excluded and mistreated generation after generation. Hopefuls everywhere vote for him with the irrational expectation that he will never engage in corrupt practices, just because he has minority status. He does it anyway while serving as the capitol city ombudsman, and is found guilty after a fair trial. Only after this, he calls his minority pals to physically defend him from being detained and defiantly asks to be judged according to “his ancestral law.” The Verdict: A racemongering demagogic A-Hole.
 

3.    Eduardo Merlano: A senator is driving a few friends somewhere and is asked by the police for an alcohol test. He doesn’t only refuse but insolently brags about his 50.000 voters and his ability to “solve” the impasse with a single phone call “to the Colonel.” His female friends are as aggrieved as him and accuse the police officers of being “bitter creeps.” He walks away, giving squat of being caught on camera, just as the Police Commander is caught on tape scolding his agents for “not respecting the hierarchy.” The Police Commander resigns amid the following scandal, and the senator (that gets his first driving license ONLY A FEW DAYS AFTER THE INCIDENT) asks for a medical excuse because of the “stress.” He has no intentions of resigning. The Verdict: A scumbag A-Hole. 
 

4.    Bill Maher: a progressive that loves “science and reason” but hates vaccines is caught red handed but still gets away while demeaning women with mean “jokes”, now financing Barack Obama’s reelection efforts with A COOL MILLION DOLLARS being used to decry a phony “GOP war on women.” Convoluted, isn’t it? It’s politics, anyway. And Ann Coulter’s dear friend is still a mean A-Hole (she can’t say a word against his dear friend Misogynist Billy. Really, she can’t).
 

5.    Larry Flynt: before the sexual revolution it was “women, pregnant and barefoot.” Thanks to pornographer Larry Flynt, we now know that the way for women that dare live outside the liberal plantation is being “shut up with a phallus in their mouths.” Proving that the “war on women” narrative is a mere distraction, misogynist Bill Maher tells S.E. Cupp that she should not whine worry because he got the same treatment from First Amendment A-Hole Larry Flynt, too. That makes two A-Holes taking an ingratiating one for the liberal team!
 

6.    P. Diddy: “Look how rich I am! I feel like spending TWO MILLION in strippers while in Miami!” First pay the paltry 70 grand you owe photographer Rob Hoffman since February, you cheap A-Hole!
 

7.    Meghan McCain: the poster child for desperate ingratiation. She really doesn’t crave anything but please the Democrats and the left (Daddy issues, anyone?). It would be funnier if she wasn’t hurting people in the process by smearing and mischaracterizing conservatives and Republicans while pretending she’s the victim of mean “extremists”. The Verdict: Annoying A-Hole. 

8.    Rey Juan Carlos of Spain: many may think I’m taking a cheap shot with this, but I will make my case. See, if I accidentally killed my brother with a gun, for sure I would NEVER touch another one in my entire grieving life. But, no His Highness had to go to Africa to hunt elephants (€ 70.000 apiece), where he broke his hip. In the meanwhile, a grandson decides to follow the nincompoop tradition and shoots himself in the foot with another gun. In an era in which monarchs are seen as obsolete and useless artifacts, his serial philandering on taxpayer’s dime makes him even more odious to his Spaniard subjects (already pissed off by a collapsing economy). The Verdict: A Royal A-Hole.

It gets better every new semester.
