Introduction: Announcing My Segue Back to Blogging on This Site
First of all, this is a bit of a segue into returning to my political blog titled Conservatively Speaking: A Conservative-Libertarian Blog on Today's Issues. The blog was launched on May 3, 2013 in response to the seemingly-daily revelations of a new scandal emanating from the Obama Executive Branch, as each have been proven to have occurred, and yet President Obama continues to deny his superiors, the American people, their right to know. I wrote nigh feverishly on the blog until I posted an article on July 25 regarding the birth of Prince George and Hillary Clinton's response. I had started writing a humorous but very newsworthy piece on Anthony Weiner titled "The Weiner Flops Again," which was filled with nearly every copy of the text messages between Weiner and the 23 year old Democratic Party intern who now is a porn star possibly exposed to the HIV virus while shooting her first film: a parody about Weiner. For whatever reason, I never completed the article, and still to this day it remains lying in state as it resides in the Land of Misfit Toys.
From July until nigh Thanksgiving, I began writing and posting articles for about a week, though far softer in my tone of rhetoric. One was about the issue of people working and shopping on Thanksgiving and Christmas. Another two old Facebook clippings of updates were from where I debated liberals. (And, might I add, I angered one so much by what I said to him without slipping even one four-letter word that he blocked me!) Lastly, I wrote the first part to what I believe will become two posts examining the life and legacy of the late Nelson Mandela from every possible angle, as well as Apartheid as its variant usage in Israel, the Gaza Strip, and the Golan Heights. I define based upon the parameters of Apartheid's precedent set in South Africa beginning in 1948 as existing when a white minority political party (National Party) implemented that law. Again, Mandela's life will soon be examined and comparisons to other historical figures of the global liberation movements -- Henry David Thoreau, Mohandas Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Jr., etc., -- with regards to tactics and philosophy. After that, I will fly as the wind blows.
If upon your receiving this you find it to be an undesirable article (this was originally an E-mail, and since it was written prior to the butt-crack of dawn and I had slept, I just proofread the thing to my great horror), write to me again to inform me not to send more fliers.
Have a wonderful Monday! (JPH)
Who is Bill O' Reilly? Whose Side Exactly Butters His Bread?
Bill O'Reilly is not quite so diametrically President Obama's polar opposite with regards to economic policy. He is calling upon Washington to pass legislation and forward it to Obama to sign into law a minimum wage hike to $10 per hour. I am sure once the RINO establishment within the GOP, to whom O'Reilly shows undying affection and loyalty, decides to step into a single file line behind the 55 Democrats in the U.S. Senate under Sen. Harry Reid's rank and file, that a $10 or more minimum wage hike is just what the American people will receive. And, just as those sheep love to do -- the ones who were so foolish to vote those lawmakers championing socialist policies or have leanings in this direction -- they are indeed blithe enough to seriously believe that they will be paid more in subsides and at the cost of no other set of individuals than the American taxpayer.
Upon this occurring, the costs for goods and services due to the artificially-inflated prices which Obama and his Democratic "ditto heads" would have passed and then his signing the legislation into law will initiate the end of America's 238 year dance with opportunity and prosperity. The old practice of artificial price-fixation to cut the costs of products for sale, which might lower the prices of goods and services for people to buy with respect to the minimum wage workers, but those Americans who previously had worked in middle manager or some other portion of the private sector within the middle class will largely lose their capacities to pay for these crucial, vital necessities should the Democrats and Obama not engage in a new standard in middle income-fixing afterwards. The real disaster to the economy, however, ensues once the costs of production are far more expensive than the demand for those products, at which point the most fundamental free market principle posited to all by Adam Smith from his pamphlet The Wealth of Nations (1776) stating "supply must meet demand" will, in fact, not coincide as they should. Upon that, the natural price for goods and services available to consumers will rise exponentially, and the implementation of the higher minimum wage law while those in the middle class earn no such raise in rate of pay will lead the economy into financial ruin, stores barren of products, people living in slums and low-rent motels, and both the poverty threshold and misery index made so popular under the LBJ and Carter presidencies will then extend to the majority of the middle class, which will return the Democrats and others on the very Far Left to the times when they each sing "Happy Day are Here Again." This, in a nutshell, is how President Obama has determined to narrow the gap between the richest 2% and the lowest 98%. A nation of the poor -- what was once sub-poverty line and the the middle class -- will essentially be peasants, while the wealthiest Americans, most of whom are Obama's and the Democratic Party's biggest supporters and campaign donors, will be the individuals who through blind ideological euphoria appointed among the president's Cabinet or other government-based positions based upon nepotism, and thus will be among the oligarchy, the ruling party. All of this, of course, will be hypothetically possible as now that the Obamacare mandate is in place, most still have no access to the service, and several have already died due to government determining it was not financially-prudent to save a person's life, or what is popularly termed as "the death panel" policies. A depression, recession, and stagflation all in one will commence, and a new Dark Age will as well. That is the "Change" Obama wanted you "to be in" during his 2008 campaign.

And, in case you still have not determined "which team Mr. O'Reilly plays for," check out the interview with him as given by the intelligent and beautiful Megyn Kelly:

This is a rush transcript from "The Kelly File," January 2, 2014. This copy may not be in its final form and may be updated.
MEGYN KELLY, HOST: Well, tonight, a preview of Bill O'Reilly's upcoming Super Bowl interview with President Obama this Sunday. Earlier I spoke with Mr. Bill, host of "The Factor."
(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)
KELLY: O'Reilly.
BILL O'REILLY, HOST, "THE O'REILLY FACTOR": Yes, you were just on my program.
KELLY: This is so weird.
O'REILLY: This is strange.
KELLY: I'm still sitting on your set, but now I'm interviewer and you're the interviewee.
O'REILLY: Be gentle.
KELLY: I may or may not give you the last word.
O'REILLY: All right.
KELLY: This is actually a big deal, even for you, even for Mr. Bill O'Reilly it's a big deal. Are you a little nervous?
O'REILLY: No.
KELLY: Come on.
O'REILLY: I'm not.
KELLY: I don't believe you. You know why? Sometimes I see you going out on Letterman. I know you, I see just a hint of nerves. So I can't even imagine interviewing the president of the United States there isn't a little.
O'REILLY: You're probably seeing indigestion, but not nerves. I can't even remember the last time I got nervous, ever. I'm just not a nervous guy.
KELLY: It's like a 100 million people are going to be watching the Super Bowl.
O'REILLY: I don't care, that is why I am not nervous. I don't care. I know what I want to do and I know the questions I'm going to ask. Not all of them. Still formulating, OK? But I know where I want to go. The difficulty is time.
KELLY: How many minutes you get?
O'REILLY: I don't know exactly, but I have to deal with Fox Sports, I got to deal with the White House and I got to deal with a lot of things I can't control. This program that I do, "The Factor" I can control, you know, time and everything like that. I can't.
KELLY: He doesn't want to come in here.
O'REILLY: Who?
KELLY: President Obama. He is not going to come here in "The Factor" studios.
O'REILLY: No, no, he is not a bad guy, I think people misread him. However, my interview this time is going to be very precise. Not philosophical, alright?
KELLY: You did a little philosophy, you know --
O'REILLY: He has a five-year record, and I want to clear up a lot of things that are confusing. I will probably be able to clear up three in the time I have. But remember, there's going to be a taped interview afterward that we'll show on Monday's "Factor." But no. Nervous impedes my ability. I don't want to even think about that.
KELLY: Well, it impedes everybody's ability. But sometimes we can't help it. Like before I come on "The O'Reilly Factor" on Thursday nights, I sit in the green room... no, I don't.
O'REILLY: But you're an emotional mess, I'm a rock.
KELLY: Let me ask you this. I want to talk about the dynamics of the interview. Where does it take place, exactly?
O'REILLY: You know whatever room he wants, the red room, the green room, whatever the White House wants.
KELLY: You walk in first or he walks in first?
O'REILLY: Oh, yes.
KELLY: After you, you're all settled.
O'REILLY: Always the lesser being walks in first, and that's me. That's me.
KELLY: Interesting, because on your show, you walk in first, I walk in second. I'm just stating it for the record.
O'REILLY: The lesser being always walks in first.
KELLY: So put down your pen, there is a power brokerage thing that happens in the hand shake.
O'REILLY: An eye contact handshake.
