Zeitgeist The Movie: Crapfestapalooza

I recently had a friend write me and say it was important for me to watch this movie. He's a hardcore conspiracy theorist and loves to challenge me to myth vs. fact duels. I watched it and here goes:

Zeitgeist is really three loosely related films packaged into one two hour conspiracy extravaganza. The 3 basic plots are:

1. Jesus was not a real person, and the story of his life is plagiarized from previous pagan religions.

2. The World Trade Center was destroyed by the US Government using planes and controlled demolition explosives planted beforehand.

3. The world’s central banks are a scam perpetuated by bankers to enrich themselves.

Just from the first part I would think anyone who believes in Jesus and knows the real Biblical story would be skeptical of the second two. Thank you Da Vinci Code for making this stupid myth popular. The second part is a copy of the movie Loose Change which was the first 9/11 crapspiracy movie. Zeitgeist even has put in some of Loose Change's footage. The debunking of this and other myths about the 9/11 conspiracy are here:

The third part is also for morons who will believe anything. This legend of the shady bankers myth has been perpetrated for more than 200 years and isn't new. It's spread by people who don't understand the value of the free market system and who think that all corporations have a guy in a bunker 20 floors below sea level somehow pulling all the strings and laughing maniacally while licking his greasy money-grubbing fingers.

There are no credits to the movie and the sources they give have no page numbers and make for useless references. They would get a D in English at best for trying to write this story in English class.

I'd Vote For This Guy

I used to live on Staten Island in New York and if you're a Republican there you're one tough son of a gun and this guy proves it. This is supposed to be some comedy show but I respect this guy for saying what he needs to say. I'd seriously give him a thought if he ran for President. Good for him for saying what he really thinks to these liberal crazies.

Al Gore Wins the Nobel 'All About Politics' Prize

It's sad when the Nobel Peace Prize turns into something as useless as the Oscars. Alfred Nobel himself said that the award was for improving the condition of humankind. Al Gore preaches the religion of the carbon footprint and yet owns a mansion that sucks energy like no tomorrow(which by the way I have nothing against. He's just a hypocrite). So Gore makes a Hollywood scarefest called A Convenient Lie - For The Benefit Of Make Me Popular Activist(Borat fans will laugh at that) and says that our world is coming to it's end because we as human beings can destroy this earth so easily as to live in a free market society. Gore did NOTHING to improve our way of life. In fact, he's definitely hurting American lives with his socialist intentions. Good job Nobel Committee. You don't seem so smart anymore.

Who's The Idiot Now?

How many times have you heard it? Bush is an idiot, moron, imbecile, blah blah blah. I have proof that he is not any of these. I'm only going to focus on the economic achievements even though I could go on and on about the national security, military, educational, environmental, and judicial achievements if I wanted.

This is taken directly off of the whitehouse.gov website:

• Since last summer, the American economy has grown at the fastest rate of any major industrialized nation.
• America's economy has been growing at rates as fast as any in nearly 20 years.
• Nearly 1.5 million jobs have been created since August 2003 and 1.3 million new jobs have been created this year alone. The unemployment rate today is below the average unemployment rate of the 1970s, the 1980s, and the 1990s.
• From 2000 to 2003, productivity grew at the fastest three-year rate in more than a half-century, raising the standard of living for all Americans.
• The Conference Board's index of leading indicators has risen at an average annual rate of 4.2 percent since March 2003 - the fastest 15-month period of increase in 20 years - suggesting vibrant economic growth in the near term.
• The stock market regained more than $4 trillion in equity since its low in mid-2002. In 2003 the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 25 percent and the NASDAQ rose 50 percent.
• Manufacturing activity expanded in July 2004 for the 14th consecutive month.
• Real after-tax incomes are up 11 percent since December 2000.
• Interest rates reached their lowest levels in decades during the Bush Administration.
• Homeownership reached an all-time high and mortgage rates reached their lowest level in decades.
• During the Bush Administration, we have experienced one of the lowest core inflation rates (averaging two percent per year) in the past 40 years.

These figures are taken even before the DOW cleared 13000. It's ridiculous to fall for the media's lie that Bush is a moron. If you have fallen for it, who's the idiot now?

Harry Reid Once Again Shows His Support of Terrorism

I found this story on Fox News but what is interesting is that it's nowhere in CNN's headlines. I think this says a lot because even the most liberal news medium isn't posting Reid's crazy 'surrender to terrorism' story.

Reid today claimed the war in Iraq was lost and "can only be won diplomatically, politically, and economically'. WHAT!!!!???!!! I for one would love to test Reid's theory out by sending Reid himself to 'diplomatically' talk this out with a terrorist leader(doesn't matter which one) and then see if Reid would change his mind at the last second while he was having his head sawed off with a dull machete while hearing his last words, 'Allahu Akbar!'.

Reid went on to say:

"Now I believe, myself, that the secretary of state, the secretary of defense and you have to make your own decision as to what the president knows: that this war is lost, that the surge is not accomplishing anything".

This is an outright lie, though not surprising because Reid has based his whole career on lies. The 'troop surge' as it were is actually working and the numbers claim proof of this. Allied deaths are down and insurgent deaths are up. WHAT MORE DO THESE IDIOT DEMOCRATS WANT??? Oh yeah, that's right. They want Bush to lose, even if that means the terrorists win. It just shows how much we need Republicans in office because anytime the going gets rough, dems want to give up on the spot.
