“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."

ReplyDeleteHe is so far up Aipac’s ass, at a speech, the crowd on hearing his support of Israel, Cruz was loudly booed. Cruz continued, “Christians have no greater ally than Israel. Those who hate Israel hate America.”
The boos grew louder.
Cruz continued. “The very same people who persecute and murder Christians right now, who crucify Christians, who behead children, are the very same people who target Jews for their faith, for the same reason.” He then cut and ran, ending with, “If you will not stand with Israel and the Jews, then I will not stand with you. Good night, and God bless.”

Bread and circuses became the method that the ruling class of ancient Rome used to maintain their power and control of the people. This method kept their sheep fat and happy, even as they fleeced them and sent them off to plunder the free world.
ReplyDeleteThe circuses have changed from the gladiator contests live in the coliseum, to the good vs. evil games on our modern televisions. No longer do we need to leave our homes to watch the games in person, as they are delivered to our homes in full Technicolor.
...
As with the Romans, the sheep have become more interested in the game itself than their own freedom. In these modern times, a football or basketball game draws more attention than a protest against an illegal war, where our children are being slaughtered.
Ancient Rome has fallen and been replaced by the power elite in Washington , but the game is the same: keep the sheep fat, happy, and stupid as you send them off to die for the enrichment of the State. There seems to be no greater honor than sacrifice for the State, as long as it is someone else's son or daughter.
Nothing has changed in 2,000 years, and nothing will change in the future. The sheep are stupid and will never see the boot on their face, as they are too busy watching the games. As long as the State never attempts to take away their football or beer, the mind-fucked sheep will continue to be content.

Airstrikes Continue Against ISIL in Iraq, Syria
ReplyDeleteFrom a Combined Joint Task Force Operation Inherent Resolve News Release
SOUTHWEST ASIA, Feb. 1, 2015 – U.S. and coalition military forces have continued to attack Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant terrorists in Syria and Iraq, Combined Joint Task Force Operation Inherent Resolve officials reported today.
Officials reported details of the latest strikes, which took place between 8 a.m. yesterday and 8 a.m. today, local time, noting that assessments of results are based on initial reports.
Airstrikes in Syria
-- Near Kobani, seven airstrikes struck an ISIL staging area and four ISIL tactical units and destroyed five ISIL fighting positions.
-- Near Ar Raqqah, an airstrike struck an ISIL tactical unit.
Airstrikes in Iraq
-- Near Al Asad, an airstrike struck an ISIL tactical unit.
-- Near Al Qaim, an airstrike destroyed an ISIL staging area.
-- Near Hit, an airstrike struck an ISIL tactical unit.
-- Near Kirkuk, 19 airstrikes struck four large ISIL units and 11 ISIL tactical units and destroyed eight ISIL fighting positions, an ISIL staging position, eight ISIL vehicles, two ISIL armored vehicles, an ISIL building and an ISIL tank.
-- Near Mahkmur, an airstrike struck an ISIL tactical unit.

-- Near Tal Afar, an airstrike destroyed an ISIL fighting position
George Will was saying on Fox News today that 75% of our airstrikes since September last have been in or around Kobane.
ReplyDeleteKobane may have been 'retaken' but ISIS is right out there in the countryside.
That's just how it was for the Nazi in Stalingrad, too, after the Russians removed them from the city, proper.
DeleteBetter go back to watching football, Robert "Draft Dodger" Peterson.
That would be 75% of the airstrikes in Syria were in or around Kobane.
ReplyDeleteMost of the air strikes have been in Iraq.
That sounds more like it.

While the statement might sound hyperbolic, it might just be entirely accurate. The Seahawks’ bizarre decision to throw the ball from the one yard line and not hand off to Marshawn Lynch, one of the most physically imposing running backs in football,will certainly be scrutinized for a very, very long time. Thanks to the social media driven world we live in, the critics have already begun to opine on the matter.
Here’s what they had to say:.................

Let’s say you’re the head coach of a football team down by four points with 40 seconds left in the championship game, but just a half-yard away from the winning touchdown. Your team has the #1 ranked rushing offense in the league, but your passing game is ranked fifth from the bottom. It took nearly twenty-five minutes of game time for your quarterback to make his first completion, but your tailback has 102 yards and is averaging over four yards a carry. With the entire season on the line, what play do you call?
Not this one:
Congratulations, Pete Carroll — you made yourself into a Super Bowl legend with that call, although clearly not the way you intended. Carroll tried explaining the inexplicable:
You need to have the Adobe Flash Player to view this content.
Please click here to continue.
Ian Carroll isn’t buying it. He thinks Carroll tried to out-clever Belichick, and ended up with egg on his face:
All Carroll had to do was apply a little common sense to the final seconds of Super Bowl XLIX, and no, it wasn’t too much to ask. Carroll had already won it all with the Seattle Seahawks and the USC Trojans. He had earned the unconditional respect of his opponent, Bill Belichick, who knew Carroll as a closer who had inspired Seattle to “compete relentlessly as well as any team and any organization I’ve ever observed.”
Carroll just had to make a decision any Pop Warner coach worth his whistle and drill cones would have made. Lynch was in full you-know-what mode, barreling his way through the New England Patriots and carrying the Seahawks to the league’s first two-peat since Belichick and Tom Brady pulled it off in a different life. Lynch already had 102 rushing yards and a touchdown to his name, and he had just planted Seattle on the Patriots’ 1-yard line. …
Carroll wasn’t only about to prove he could rule a violent game with a sunshiny disposition; he was also about to prove he could take the X’s and O’s game from one of the greats. Seattle snapped the ball and handed it to Lynch for the team’s last rushing play of the night with 1:06 left, and Belichick inexplicably failed to call one of his two remaining timeouts after the 4-yard carry, which allowed the Seahawks to bleed the clock down to 26 seconds before executing the obvious play.
Carroll and his offensive coordinator, Darrell Bevell, would give the ball to this generation’s answer to Earl Campbell, and Lynch would score the winning touchdown and make the statement he was dying to make to his BFFs in the media: Now you know why I’m here.
But a not-so-funny thing happened on the way to a delirious flight back home. It rained on Seattle’s parade. Instead of notarizing his standing as Belichick’s equal, Peter Clay Carroll made the dumbest and most damaging call in Super Bowl history.
Even if you wanted to waste a play here to push the safeties off the line for another Marshawn Lynch run on third down, why throw it inside with a scrape, rather than into the corner for an alley-oop with Chris Matthews? Put the ball where only the receiver can get it — and if it’s incomplete, then run a counter or trap with Lynch, or even a quarterback sneak. Why call a play where Russell Wilson (who was 12-20 at that point, not exactly a hot hand) had to throw it into traffic and thread the needle to find his receiver? Small wonder the Seahawks offense looked confused by the call.
If this isn’t the worst play call in Super Bowl history, it’s difficult to recall one that’s worse..............
