COLLECTIVE MADNESS


“Soft despotism is a term coined by Alexis de Tocqueville describing the state into which a country overrun by "a network of small complicated rules" might degrade. Soft despotism is different from despotism (also called 'hard despotism') in the sense that it is not obvious to the people."

Evita Palin

Sarah Palin Says She Could Beat Obama

In Interview With Barbara Walters, Palin Says She Is Seriously Considering Entering Race in 2012







Eva Peron was never officially elected as President of Argentina but she exercised power and influence within the government. While she could mobilize throngs of adoring supporters at the drop of a hat, the middle and upper classes, military leaders and some government officials were angered by this woman who seemed to have virtually taken over the country. As her celebrity and influence grew, she became progressively more vengeful as well. This only served to validate the bitter hatred some had for her.




Evita Peron Quotes

» Answer violence with violence. If one of us falls today, five of them must fall tomorrow.

» By this time I had fallen in love with him as we both came from the same type of humble back ground. Also because he put his energy behind working people. With the power of the shirtless ones (the poor) he was swept to power. He was then put under arrest so we decided to get married secretly .

» Charity separates the rich from the poor; aid raises the needy and sets him on the same level with the rich.

» I am my own woman.

» I am only a simple woman who lives to serve Peron and my people.

» I am only a sparrow amongst a great flock of sparrows.

» I demanded more rights for women because I know what women had to put up with.

» I had watched for many years and seen how a few rich families held much of Argentina's wealth and power in their hands. So Peron and the government brought in an eight hour working day , sickness pay and fair wages to give poor workers a fair go .

» I have one thing that counts, and that is my heart; it burns in my soul, it aches in my flesh, and it ignites my nerves: that is my love for the people and Peron.

» I know that, like every woman of the people, I have more strength than I appear to have.

» I was born Maria Eva Duarte in one of those miserable dry and sleepy little towns in 1919.

» I will come again, and I will be millions.

» I will return and I will be a million.

» If I have to apply five turns to the screw each day for the happiness of Argentina, I will do it.

» In government, one actress is enough.

» Keeping books on social aid is capitalistic nonsense. I just use the money for the poor. I can't stop to count it.

» My biggest fear in life is to be forgotten.

» One cannot accomplish anything without fanatacism.

» Shadows cannot see themselves in the mirror of the sun.

» Suffer little children and come unto me.

» The nation's government has just handed me the bill that grants us our civil rights. I am receiving it before you, certain that I am accepting this on behalf of all Argentinean women, and I can feel my hands tremble with joy as they grasp the laurel proclaiming victory.

» There are some oligarchs that make me want to bite them just as one crunches into a carrot or a radish.

» Time is my greatest enemy.

» To convince oneself that one has the right to live decently takes time.

» When my father died it left me without any financial support. At the age of fifteen I ran off to Buenos Aires with a passing musician who promised to make me a film star . But soon after the musician left, I managed to stay alive by playing small parts in the theatre and films .

» When the rich think about the poor, they have poor ideas.

» When the rich think of the impoverished, they think of impoverished desires.

» Where there is a worker, there lies a nation.

» Yes, well I do have plenty of clothes, jewels and money. However I don't ask for money for myself but if some one gives me money I take it and put it in The Eva Peron Foundation which gives huge amounts of money to the poor and helps to build hospitals , schools and old peoples' homes .

» You must want! You have the right to ask! You must desire.

  1. Two women that resonate deeply with me.

    Evita and Edith Piaf.

    They're so different than that with which I'm familiar.

    But I find both compelling.

    On my swirl around South America my main reason for visiting Buenos Aires, en route to Uruguay, was to visit Evita's grave... I was comforted by the resident cats that kept vigil by it...

    And I find myself playing Piaf cds more often lately.

    In a way, I suppose, thinking about it just now, it's like a "C and E" Catholic being called back to church...

    Being seduced, being comforted by the pain and the longing. And the searing belief.

  5. Do I think she could? Sure she could. She will face 10-12 other Republicans, pick them off one at a time, get the nomination and get pounded by Obama.

    It would be the Republican gift that keeps on giving for Obama. First Alan Keyes, John McCain (my guy) and then Sarah Palin.

    The Republicans would lose every state in the Northeast, Florida, Georgia, Ohio, Illinois Florida and sweep the West Coast.

  6. Romanticizing class distinctions is one sign of a dangerous fraud who has no quarrel sacrificing means on behalf of ends, oblivious to the intimate and deep connection that weaves much of the fabric of human history, and one step removed from Might Makes Right. All of the Left has this profile to some degree. It is decidedly rare on the other side of the aisle where the bootstrap is King. It could be an interesting match - both candidates running on a Support the Middle Class platform.

  7. I would also suggest the possibility that, regardless of Palin's own assessment of a potentially successful run, she is leveraging her grass roots popularity as a form of revenge against the Republican Party honchos.

  24. LPP Combustion, LLC, a Columbia, Maryland-based innovator in liquid fuel technology, has successfully demonstrated clean and green generation of renewable electric power using both bio-ethanol and bio-diesel. LPP Combustion has developed a Lean, Premixed, Prevaporized (LPP) combustion technology that converts liquid fuels, including bio-ethanol and biodiesel, into a substitute natural gas called LPP Gas(TM).

    ...

    Clean operation of gas turbines on biofuels provides a reliable alternative to wind or solar power for renewable electric power generation. Gas turbines equipped with LPP Combustion fuel skids can provide "dispatchable" (available on demand) renewable power to complement new or existing wind or solar farms.

    LPP Combustion enables the cleanest use of renewable fuels by using existing or new gas turbine infrastructure while providing dispatchable, green energy. The LPP Combustion system allows for fuel flexibility, improved heat rate, and reduced maintenance for gas turbine operation on liquid fuels without the usual 80% increase in emissions associated with conventional burning of liquid fuels.

    "Romanticizing class distinctions..."

    I was/am taken by the writings of B.Traven.

    In one book, (The White Rose?) he has a scene in a village square in Mexico with a grandpa and his grandson.

    They're sitting there some years after the 1910 revolution. And the grandpa has a newspaper purchased that day. And one from before the revolution.

    Both are folded open to the society pages.

    And he asks his grandson to observe that the families being written about are the same in both papers...

  39. No Early Front-Runner for 2012 GOP Presidential Nomination
    Romney, Palin, Huckabee get greatest support at this point
    by Jeffrey M. Jones

    PRINCETON, NJ -- Rank-and-file Republicans have no clear favorite for the party's 2012 presidential nomination when asked to choose among a large field of potential candidates. Mitt Romney, Sarah Palin, and Mike Huckabee are essentially tied for the lead, with Newt Gingrich close behind. Preferences have been largely stable since September, though Gingrich and Huckabee have seen modest increases.


    I'd think a crowded field would work to her advantage.

    ReplyDelete
  40. . A new Gallup poll shows no 2012 Republican candidate winning more than 20 percent of the vote, a muddle from top to bottom that virtually ensures a large field and a wide-open race for the right to take on President Obama.

    The survey showed four candidates taking double digit support: former Gov. Mitt Romney (19 percent), former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (16 percent), former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee (16 percent) and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich (13 percent).

    No other candidate took more than six percent. Likely candidates like Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour and Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty received four percent support while the buzziest candidate inside the Beltway -- Sen. John Thune (S.D.) received just two percent.

    ReplyDelete
  41. Pawlenty was a pretty good Governor.

    Daniels seems to be a pretty good Governor.

    Jindal's looking like, potentially, a great Governor.

    Romney is unlikely to win Iowa because of the Mormonism. Sad, but true, I think.

    Willie Brown from San Fran said it best, she did exactly what she had to do if she wanted to run, keep her face before the crowd.

  56. Palin was humiliated on the public stage.

    She left Alaska a local hero, a credit to the state. She returned as a disgraced loser, an embarrassing liability.

    I am surprised at the vehemence and contempt attached to her resignation. It surprised me not at all.

    Is her resignation an indicator of weakness that detracts from her presidential qualifications? I think it is a legitimate concern, but I would never underestimate the psychological impact of virgin political experience on the public stage, especially for someone whose physical appearance competes so aggressively with the skill set required of a successful presidential candidate.

    Whiskey@BC used to argue that the female vote for Obama was based largely on his sex appeal - young and handsome. Maybe. But pale in comparison to Palin.** Where Obama was and is cool and (arguably) cerebral, Palin is all about the animal spirits.

    **And I say that as a hetero IIRC.

  59. Ah, CL, losing an election doesn't disgrace you in the eyes of the public. Too many losers have come back to become winners for that theory to be viable.

    Leaving your Office in limbo to run for a higher office doesn't seem to be a disadvantage, either.

    However, leaving your office because of the "heat" is Not acceptable. The Tribe, Platoon, Country won't take a chance on a coward. The stakes are too high.

    Will she, in the semi-fullness of time be able to overcome this? I don't know. My gut feeling is it's around 40/60, or, at best 50/50. We'll know fairly soon.

    ReplyDelete
  60. She was damned near being bankrupted by those frivolous ethics charges.

    And it's not sex appeal. There's a million more beautiful.

    She's a force of nature, and has a kind of purity too.

    You overestimate the sex appeal part, helps, but that's not the cat's pajamas, not where the rubber meets the road.

    And she's doing it herself, her own way. No big money in her background.

    And, she sincerely loves the outdoors.

    Paris Hilton has sex appeal, I'd never vote for her.

  61. Well folks, I called the first Obama win way ahead of you all. I distinctly remember Rat denigrating me for making the call.

    Now, way, waaaayyyy out, I'll make my prediction on the next round - Obama in a squeaker.



    A foolish prediction given we don't even know who he will be up against but that's my reading of the tea leaves.

    For the record, also, it doesn't necessarily mean that I think he should win, that he will be the best for the job (i.e. what I want) but rather, what I think will be. That call will me made all the more certain if Palin should be the opponent!

    You might be right Rufus, but, as I said earlier, I also think it is not improbable that Palin is jerking the chain of the RNC with the threat of a run. I also tend to agree with Ash that Obama will win a second term based on the absence of an electable opposition candidate.

    Profile-wise, Palin strikes me as Ronald Reagan in a skirt.

  66. Bitter clinger shoots TV after Bristol Palin performance

    November 17, 2010 by Cubachi

    According to Wisconsin authorities, Steven Cowan, a 67-year-old man originally from Vermont, shot his television set after watching Bristol Palin perform on “Dancing with the Stars.” The police were contacted and it led to a 15-hour standoff until Cowan finally was convinced to come out of the house.

    Is this what it comes down to? BDS (Bristol Derangement Syndrome)?

    I've never seen such a level of attack on this young woman for appearing on a dancing show. This certainly dispels the notion that conservatives are “bitter clingers to their guns.”

    Cowan was charged second-degree reckless endangerment and could be sentenced to up to 10 years in prison if convicted. Authorities say he has bipolar disorder.

    He may have a mental illness, but the man was drunk according to his wife. Though she doesn’t attribute it to this outburst. So is this a case of an angry liberal?

    According to the Smoking Gun the complaint reads:

    Cowan “jumped up and swore, saying something to the effect of “the —-ing politics.”The complaint added, ”Steven was upset that a political figure’s daughter was dancing on this particular show when Steven did not think she was a good dancer.”

  88. An old, blind cowboy wanders into an all-girl biker bar by mistake.
    He finds his way to a bar stool and orders a shot of Jack Daniels.
    After sitting there for a while, he yells to the bartender, 'Hey, you wanna hear a blonde joke?'

    The bar immediately falls absolutely silent.

    In a very deep, husky voice, the woman next to him says,

    'Before you tell that joke, Cowboy, I think it is only fair, Given that you are blind, that you should know five things:

    1. The bartender is a blonde girl with a baseball bat.

    2. The bouncer is a blonde girl.

    5. The lady to your right is blonde and a professional wrestler.

    Maybe the search parties should start grooming a blond Swedish gay mulatto.

  90. Is not fair, CL. She happens to be nice looking, she does lots of stuff I like, and it's.....all about sex. She can't help it that she's nice looking, I can't help looking, but it's not why most of us males who are voting for her, are voting for her.

    And she has this wonderful vibrant joyful spirit, not sexual, just full of life at the wellhead. Most of us like that.

  92. You take Tina then, I'll take Sarah.

    We'll go double dating, but no trading.
