Because of Barak Obama and Nancy Pelosi, the word ‘agnostic’ has now entered the national political discourse, and I’m sure I don’t like what I think they’re saying.

Back in February of this year, the president in response tax increases for those with household incomes of less $250,000, he said:

… he is “agnostic” about raising taxes on households making less than $250,000 as part of a broad effort to rein in the budget deficit.

Other than scratching their heads did anyone, anywhere in the Media, even try to divine what he meant?  How is anyone ‘agnostic’ about a subject like taxes?

Now, Pelosi, off another of her religious benders, this one on energy and the environment, said “She was “agnostic,” she said, about how to go about reducing dependence on foreign oil and fossil fuel use, but was intent on achieving those ends.”

Again, the use of the word ‘agnostic’ and the context is odd, if not plain weird.

But what do they really mean? 

In the 1800’s, a fellow by the name of Thomas H. Huxley, an English biologist, is credited with coining and defining ‘agnosticism’ which:

… is not a creed but a method, the essence of which lies in the vigorous application of a single principle... Positively the principle may be expressed as in matters of intellect, do not pretend conclusions are certain that are not demonstrated or demonstrable.

If you read what Huxley wrote and apply it to what Obama and Pelosi said, well, you can see how we’re in big trouble, mainly because we’re dealing with the Democrat Left.  Their actions, having to do with anything, from social welfare to national defense, never work out.  All that matters is the ‘act.’  Think of LBJ’s Great Society and nothing more should have to be stated. 

If Democrats, or anyone, actually considered any action from an ‘agnostic’ point, Obamacare never would’ve passed.  Why?  Because the intended result is not ‘demonstrable.’

So, the next time you hear Obama or Pelosi or anyone from the Left using the word ‘agnostic,’ you know they really don’t mean it.

The big deal made by the Democrat party is where did this guy get the money?  That $10,000 dollars register fee.

My big question is why does Alvin or anyone else need to come up with $10,000 dollars to register to begin with?   

Is it to keep out nuts and undesirables?  As far as the Democrats in North Carolina are concerned it didn’t work. 

But what’s truly distressing, is the need to purchase access, or rather register, which keeps the average American citizen, with no political machine, out of the running.

Are the founding documents of the United States that revolutionary?  I say, “Yes,” because what these documents state is fact, which it is the individual is before the state, and not the other way around.

Second, I add the Marxists, socialists, and communists, in all their stripes and symbols:  swastikas, hammer and sickles, clenched fists and Nazi salutes, are the known purveyors and promoters of the prison state.   And the founding documents are the siege machines which through down imprisoning walls or attempts to build them. 

When a publishing company placing a warning label on the Constitution, that says something about the company and about how this business doesn’t business, while taking advantage of a free market system, which the Constitution most wholly possible.

We live in strange—and wonderful times, when documents stating freedoms at that all mankind have—by God and nature, are considered in some way dangerous, I know which side I want to be on.

True revolution is born in the heart of the individual and, by its very nature; the individual is in totally opposition to statist government.  Statist government encompassing any government bureaucracy, which demeans it necessary to dictate arbitrary rules of conduct that are in direct conflict with the moral, ethical and natural world which all truly free people live. 

The founding documents should have a warning label stating that violating the life, liberty and pursuit of the individual are done at peril and at a price.

I spent my Memorial Holiday away from the computer and the internet, and after watching twenty minutes of news last night and logging in today, I’ve learned that not a great deal has changed, but a few critical events did, one being the continuing flow of oil out of the BP borehole, which, for every gallon issuing from the ocean floor is really a gallon of political blood being spilled from the Obama Whitehouse, and that blood will continue to flow until August.  The administration’s assault on BP—with the possibility of investigations—civil or criminal—can’t hide that same administration’s incompetence when it comes to the total mishandling of the accident beginning with day one.

When a presidential candidate gives the impression he can ‘fix all things’ and then can’t when put in to a position of authority, deserves everything coming to him.

The second is an Israel acting in its own defense by boarding blockade runners heading for Gaze, people with Hamas minders and carrying an unknown cargo.  These ‘activists’ insert terrorists if you care to, are going to try it again.  I don’t see Israel going easier on them.   Do you? 

I must mention North Korea, because South Korea wants to increase penalties against its northern neighbor.  What penalties can they be?  What is left in the north to take away?  

We’re just waiting for the next shot.
