American Glob Misses The Point

“A MODEST PROPOSAL: Liberals Should Start Their Own Country” doesn’t understand the fundamental premise of modern liberalism.
That is, Modern Liberalism is an alliance of the Pointy Haired Boss and Wally against Dilbert and Alice. It is the well-heeled loudmouths teaming up with the slackers to mooch off of the productive.
There is no way under the sun that the PHB and Wally are ever going to found their own country, even if there was infinite, uninhabited rich land available. Even to say that, you’re viewing reality through the Dilbert/Alice prism.
Turn on, tune in, and drop out to the Lefty weltanschauung for an understanding of why they’ll wait for you to start a swell new country, then move in to hammer you with fear and guilt and live off of the sweat of your brow. It’s called Progress.
Update: Daily Pundit slightly misses the point. The statement was not “Have Proglodytes ever started a country?”. American Glob had a modest proposal for our current crop of American Proglodytes to, you know, follow through on their repeated threats (teases) to leave this country.
To restate my original post,
offer an example of a parasite leaving the host.
For surely as they depart our coast,
Reality will strike, leaving them toast.

Nailed it, Smitty.
Take all of the communes that the hippies started in the 60s, and figure out the ratio of the ones that are still going, and the ones that imploded. I’m willing to bet that the ratio is darn near 0 to 1. Why did they all implode? For exactly the reasons you cited.
June 7th, 2012 @ 9:15 am
They have their own countries. They are small principalities in parts of New York, San Francisco, Berkley, Burlington, Portland (Oregon and Maine), Boston, Chicago, etc. Think Monaco and Luxembourg, only less efficient.
June 7th, 2012 @ 9:49 am
Excellent analysis; unfortunately there is likely no cure for this — as Dilbert and Alice have been disasterous in properly identifying just who Boss and Wally really are (oftentimes mistaking them for “producers and upright citizens” who are on their side) and thus manipulated into becoming a bit moochy and loot-y themselves (Thomas Sowell provides a big key as to how Dil and Allie misread the crazy Russian big time and have now turned it into a cult — he doesn’t much go into the implications of what could happen due to this, but it doesn’t take a lot of imagination).
Be that as it may: the U.S. has approximately 5 – 10 years before it completely collapses (my estimate, and no I would prefer to not be proven correct): we have to meet a target of REAL GDP growth of 4% for 2010-2013, or 3% real for 2010 – 2020, or something in the middle of those two…or we are kaput (with the obvious cracks, strains, and likelihood of a seriously unfortunate event going up in odds the more it looks like we won’t hit that target).
Unfortunately real GDP growth (as opposed to what the Left and a large portion of the Right are trying to label as such) is going to be…uhm, hard to achieve, and neither stimulus nor I think austerity measures are going to be the ticket out of this — the problem is much more foundational than that.
Oh well.

And at the end of the Progress path we find … Elbonia.
June 7th, 2012 @ 10:41 am
The only way it could happen would be if America were to secede from the proglodyte enclaves. Which, count me in.
June 7th, 2012 @ 11:03 am
I can forsee America splitting into the Solvent States of America and the Insolvent States. States that have conservative leadership and control of their budgets don’t want to be taxed to pay for prolifigate States like California and Illinois. Whether we will leave the Union (or kick them out) is a different question. We are a divided nation, that is for sure. I don’t think we are that divided yet. That decision is some years away, though. When Other People’s Money runs out, and all the choices are difficult.
June 7th, 2012 @ 11:37 am
The hilarious thing is that some of the lefties I know are totally on board with this idea, thinking that they’d be better off without the dead weight of “Jesusland”.
June 7th, 2012 @ 11:39 am
Pointy Haired Boss and Wally? It’s the Tina’s we should watch out for. It’s that whole I wrote the docentation so I know best how the system should work mentality.

I disagree with the characterization of Wally as siding with the Liberal Progressives. To me, Wally is John Galt.
June 7th, 2012 @ 1:12 pm
[…] Read it. […]
June 7th, 2012 @ 1:17 pm
Read my 3 part series on our “Cold Civil War” …
June 7th, 2012 @ 1:56 pm
Wally is such a slacker. He would tell you he’s on your side, but then he’d never be seen again until there were fresh donuts by the coffee maker, and you’d better be pretty quick then.
It would just be PHB against everyone else.
The question is, if that’s all liberalism is, then why haven’t we had the massive beat down yet?
Frankly, I think we are living at the edge of a leftist insurrection. Even if I’m wrong, and Mittens wins, it isn’t going to be pretty afterwards. I can see the Libtards rioting and otherwise engaging in violence. You’ll look back on Kimberlin and Breibart Unmasked as the good ol’ days.
June 7th, 2012 @ 4:26 pm
This fits in with my contention that it is completely useless to attempt to discuss, debate, reason, or negotiate with leftists. There is simply nothing to talk about. They aren’t seeking truth and they aren’t looking for solutions. All they want is power and when they get it, all they want is more. When they get enough power, they will stop our annoying talk altogether.
I live in a rural area out in the woods. When I come inside, it’s always a good idea to take a quick shower to get off any ticks. Ticks are parasites; once they dig into a host, it is more difficult to get them off, and they will always leave at least some inflammation and irritation at the site.
You can’t negotiate a tick off. You can’t talk him out of it, reason with him, persuade him to leave that free meal. You have to forcibly remove him – and if you don’t kill him, he will find his way back to suck the blood of the productive once again.
June 7th, 2012 @ 5:33 pm
You do see the incredible danger in making an analogy between another human being and a tick (actually worse, because the individuals are lumped together in a category presumably you made)…right?
I have to ask: how does this advance the ideals of this nation? (and don’t say “well, they do it!” for obvious reasons).
June 7th, 2012 @ 7:48 pm
[…] UPDATE: Smitty from The Other McCain says I’ve missed the point and you know what… He has a point. […]
June 7th, 2012 @ 8:10 pm
Ask the Founding Fathers why they felt it necessary to run the Tories out of the country at bayonet point. Sorry, there are just people you can’t include in your society, because they are your enemy.
June 7th, 2012 @ 9:36 pm
Please, don’t try to use the Founding Fathers as an excuse to consider people vermin (that has been done before…do you remember what happens when it does?).
If you want to disagree with people, even vehemently; dislike people, even greatly; want nothing to do with their company at all –fine, that is everyone’s right.
But the minute you start considering them something less than human and start trying to use your country’s history/genetic mythos to rationalize and ennoble why you are doing it…well, that’s something completely different (just ask the Armenians or Greeks how the Young Turks acted and spoke among themselves; just ask…well, you know).
And might I point out: none of those examples were really into liberty or a free society now were they?
In order to keep those we have been repeatedly enjoined to keep a weather eye out on ourselves as much as others…I believe the Founders alluded to it too 😉
June 7th, 2012 @ 9:38 pm
sigh…mytho-genesis…but nonetheless my point still stands, and I wouldn’t be saying it if I didn’t care quite a bit, so there.
June 7th, 2012 @ 10:38 pm
Shorter (much) Pathfinder’s Wife: Don’t remind me of the uncomfortable historical fact that this country was founded by men who saw what needed doing… and did it, thus providing me with the luxury of selective blindness.
June 7th, 2012 @ 11:23 pm
They did what needed doing…but they didn’t go to the level we are speaking of.
You can do what needs doing without going there (and if what needs doing is upholding liberty/the American ideal then people really shouldn’t).
June 7th, 2012 @ 11:29 pm
By the way, the Tories as an overall group (of course there is no accounting individual stories, but generally speaking) volunteered to leave — our founders did not round them up and march them out at bayonet point (which is actually a point to the favor of our founders imhao).
