EXPLOIT IS NOT A DIRTY WORD

EVERY day it seems one hears of people "exploiting" others. We have the Center for Missing and Exploited children. To exploit has come to mean to defile, to rape, to pillage. How dare anyone exploit!! This is what happens when we let people dick with the language for their own purposes (and ironically they are precisely exploiting the language when they do this).

If we did not mine coal and/or drill for oil and gas, we would all freeze in the dark. But these activities are demonized by calling them "exploitation of natural resources"; as if energy producers were rapists of pure virgin Mother Nature. The exploiter is evil, in the modern lexicon. And those who promote this usage do so using among other things the talents of poets and musicians.

But the poet and the musician are themselves exploiters. They exploit their own talents AND the desires of others to be entertained. In fact, everyone is an exploiter of one stripe or another. The workman exploits his employer's need for help quite as much as the employer exploits the worker's need for the wherewithal to have a living.

The leftist agenda to pervert the neutral meaning of the verb "to exploit" is clear. The oilman and the miner are no better than the molestor and rapist, to hear them talk. And those among us who use others are indeed exploiters of a very bad sort and are properly called cheats, con-men, molestors, robbers, swindlers, scoundrels, rogues and that sort. But there is nothing wrong with exploiting natural resources or human talent to a good end.

WHAT NEWS???

Earlier this month the financial muckety-mucks declared that we had been in a recession for some time. Thanks, idiots. We already knew it.
Always some blithering clump of idiots goes on the news to announce statistics about the last two or three months to explain what is happening NOW. "Sales were down in the quarter just ended". Well DUH. And everone gets all out-of-sorts, even though the only "Leading Economic Indicator" that counts - which is how things are right NOW - might show improvement. Listening to these idiot newspeople is like looking out the back window of the car and seeing a city and expecting traffic to get bad. Which it may if you are headed into another city; but just as likely you are going to be getting into open country where you can move. What has been, we already know. And what will be cannot be reliably gauged by what happened two months ago (or more) when, by the way, we knew it was happening in the first place.

WELL here it is Christmas. Most all the shops and restaurants and such are closed and it is somewhat difficult to even find gasoline. But here and there is a restaurant or tavern with an established clientele, and they are open to serve those whoare not only customers but friends.

STILL it is probably the one day of the year most like an old-time Sunday when the Blue Laws - "Sunday Closing" or "Sabbbath" laws for you who are too young to remember - were in force. There is a preturnatural peace in the air. Everyone who is still in town is gathered at home with family and friends.

This calm does not extend to the newspapers and radio stations, where dire predictions and strories of tragedy pour forth. A man dressed as Santa Claus, angry over a divorce, shoots up a family gathering, sets the house afire, and kills himself. Care and woe and grief know nor respect any season. Wars large and small rage on uninterrupted, corrupt and barbaric dictators repress their people, and famine and pestilence do not pause to hear the merry carollers; but these exact their toll of misery, suffering and death on those unfortunate enough to come under their sway. Still, as the Poet said:

"I heard the Bells on Christmas Day,

Their old familiar Carols play

And loud and strong, rang out the Song

Of Peace on Earth, Good Will to Men

And in Despair I bowed my Head,

"There is no Peace on Earth", I said,

"For Hate is strong, and mocks the Song

Of Peace on Earth, Good Will to Men"

THEN PEALED THE BELLS MORE LOUD AND DEEP:

"GOD IS NOT DEAD, NOR DOTH HE SLEEP"

"The Wrong shall fail, the Right prevail,

With Peace on Earth, Good will toward Men

Merry Christmas To All!

EBENEZER SCROOGE WAS A LIBERAL!!

That's right folks. Old Scrooge was a claasic modern Liberal. Sounds unlikely?? Well, consider that:

If Bob Cratchit had tried to join a union to improve his working conditions and pay, Scrooge would have canned his ass so fast it would have made Cratchit's head swim. You say that doesn't sound very Liberal?? Well, friends, let me point you to Nancy Pelosi, our current and Liberal-to-the-very-edge-of-treason "Speaker of the House". Liberal Nancy Pelosi runs a vineyard operation where she refuses to employ Union labor. JUST LIKE EBENEZER SCROOGE!!

Not only that, but when approached by members of a private charity, Scrooge pointed out his belief that taxpayer-funded (and wholly inadequate) government programs were the proper solution to matters of poverty. This is of course a classic Liberal stance. Liberals, like Scrooge (or should I say Liberals like Scrooge) will give the poor the shirt off someone else's back.

And of course Scrooge like the good Liberal he was disapproved of Christmas. Why just last week the pack of morons here in Alexandria who call themselves our "City Council" lit the "Holiday Tree" in Market Square, just outside the historic City Hall where part of the Revolution was plotted. The damn thing is hung with those damn white lights that have become too common; because the symbolism of certain colors may upset this or that group. And I will warrant you that on our City Council there is not a Conservative among them , nor even a moderate but that they are Liberal fools to a man and woman all.

Happily though, Scrooge had an epiphany and became a good God-fearing Conservative; investing in his man Cratchit so as to get a better return and spreading his wealth by buying from people with it. And though the story does not go further, it is likely that Cratchit either founded his own company and produced yet more wealth or at least sent Tiny Tim to a good school where he could learn how to produce and increase wealth.

I only wish those same three Spirits would visit Pelosi, Reid, and Obama. Maybe after I get my wish of World Peace; but I've been waiting for that since I was nine at least, and it hasn't happened.

NONETHELESS it is the Season of Hope, among other things; and so I shall continue to do so; and as Tiny Tim said in the story so let us all say to one another:

GOD BLESS US, EVERY ONE!!!

A very very Merry Christmas to all, even you Liberals.

OOPS

In my last post I said excersise of the second amendment was primary to this blog. Sorry I meant the FIRST AMENDMENT; although I am a pretty big supporter of the Second as well. I participate in a few gun forums but really I shouldn't mix up my amendments. Sorry!

Hi Everybody!!!

In American military patois, "Poop" is information coming from whatever source. Of course most people think of poop as being what loads a baby's stinky diapers. Most of us poop daily, and some spoiled leftie brat calls his blog "The Daily Kos" so the title of this blog is a direct mockery of that young treasonous idiot weenie.

I really don't know technologically what I am doing but the appearance of this blog is secondary. The excersise of the Second Amendment is primary. And just as freedom of the press attaches to the owner of the press, freedom of the blog attaches in this case to me. If I don't like what you say I will dump it. But you will have to be either really stupid or downright outrageous before I do that. Or boring.

I on the other hand will say whatever I damn please. Say what you will, and I hope you will. Let's have a nice big knock-down - drag- out arguement; or maybe a love fest. Who knows where this will go??? One thing is certain: EVERYBODY needs a Daily Poop.
