Speaking of Hate

You’re going to love this.

What I do know is, One, a hyperinflationary event will happen, following the crash in Treasuries. Two, commodities will be the go-to medium for value storage. Three, all asset classes will collapse in short order. And Four—and most importantly—civil society will not collapse along with the dollar. Civil society will stumble about like a drunken sailor, but eventually right itself and carry on with a new normal.

During that stumble, opportunities will present themselves. I hope I have explained why.

I spent time in Chile from 1975 – 1977. Everything he says about what happened there rings completely true. What he doesn’t mention is how horribly violent Allende’s Marxists were. It’s fashionable to consider Pinochet the thug and Allende the man of peace, but the opposite is closer to the truth.

Meanwhile,  ammo is a commodity, right?

Hate! Violence!

Yes, that’s what really brings you to Buttle’s World. You skulk here hungry for the hate and violence that fuels your rage!

Or, at least, that’s what the nincompoops at Net Nanny think. Here’s what one reader found when he tried to get here on his son’s computer:

Action: Block
URL: buttle.wordpress.com/
Reason: Hate/Violence

My guess is that it’s because of my pro-gun stance. Net Nanny is infamous for its hoplophobia.

I will wear the Net Nanny Block as a badge of honor.

Meanwhile, the wisdom of trusting one’s children to anything with “Nanny” in the name is left as an exercise for the reader.

So is “nincompoop” hate speech or merely violent?

Songs that have lyrics

but shouldn’t.

Update: Tip O’ the Hat to Lane for these:

If the embedding doesn’t work (seems broken right now) the video is here.

And this one is here.

Another addition from Lane: (and bumped)

The updates keep rolling in. I may not flag them in the future, but just keep adding to this. It’s becoming quite a collection.

(Love Dusty Springfield, though.)

Mmmm. Barbara Eden.

Also proof that some people should never be let near video editing software.

If you know of more, leave them in the comments. Eventually i’ll add them here.

Green Eggs and Spam

I do not like this Uncle Sam,
I do not like his health care scam.
I do not like these dirty crooks,
or how they lie and cook the books.
I do not like when Congress steals,
I do not like their secret deals.
I do not like this speaker Nan ,
I do not like this ‘YES, WE CAN’.
I do not like this spending spree—
I’m smart, I know that nothing’s free.
I do not like your smug replies,
when I complain about your lies.
I do not like this kind of hope.
I do not like it. Nope, nope, nope!

Go green! Recycle Congress in 2010!

(Collected on the internet, August 2010)

I’m from the government. I’m here to…

I don’t think you guessed the right verb.

You give “public servants” riches beyond imagination, force that cannot be attained in the private sector, and authority to destroy the wealth and livelihoods of others, and then you expect them to abide by penny-ante rules about gift bags?

Update: Link corrected.

I’m thinking of a number

There is an integer number answer for each of these questions. See if you know what it is.

1. The number of rights granted by the constitution
2. The number of private sector jobs created by government in American history
3. The number of private sector jobs saved by government in American history
4. The number of taxes with rates that are too low
5. The total wealth produced by government

Ray Stevens Rides Again

Yeah, it’s from last December. I fail to see how it’s lost any relevance in the intervening months.

A Question for Harry Reid

This is not really racism on the part of the good senator, since “Hispanic” isn’t really a race. But it’s still stupid.

Now my question for Harry Reid:

How could a Mormon ever be a Democrat?

I’ve wanted this for a long time

In fact, it shouldn’t even be necessary. If you can read plain English the constitution already says this. Still, it would be a good idea to pass it.
