Opponent of topless rally questions liberals’ motives

As the gotopless.org people come back to Asheville, did liberal cartoonist David Cohen really mean to suggest (in the Asheville Citizen-Times) using a “gun” to impair mine and Carl Mumpower’s efforts to hold the group accountable?

We two gobrainless.org guys have enough trouble trying to stop Asheville City Council from embarrasising our great city with another public sexual performance street party for the titillation of Buncombe’s 316 registered sex offenders and cowardly male onlookers.

Surely the left can find a better way to impair two lonely conservatives trying to keep our head above water in a cesspool of sin.

Citizens, not corporations, should count in elections

Voter fraud will not be corrected by photo IDs, but only controlled when campaign finance reform becomes standard and only when massive amounts of unlimited campaign millions from megacorporations and America’s wealthiest citizens are strictly regulated.

The administration, Congress and Supreme Court have sold out our country to the highest bidders, even foreign corporations.

One part of this dramatic sell out is Duke’s ironic role in the American Legislative Exchange Council, which is the infamous corporate bill mill that connects very conservative state lawmakers with lobbyists and representatives of companies like Koch Industries, Phillip Morris, Pfizer. ALEC’s agenda spans across big-business priorities, creating template state laws that serve to deny climate change science, privatize schools, protect shooters with “castle doctrine” legislation and disenfranchise voters through voter ID laws.

Citizens must unite to amend the Constitution recognizing that only human beings, not corporations, are granted rights guaranteed to “We the People.” We must join in regulating corporations under federal law (not only states like Delaware) so they must serve the public good and be subject to having their compacts terminated should they not comply. Also we must strive for publicly funded elections so citizens influence elections, replacing corporations.

On Saturday, July 28, at Bele Chere, 22 Move to Amend of Buncombe County’s volunteers wearing sandwich boards were at Bele Chere collecting nearly 700 signatures on petitions calling for a Constitutional amendment ending the “Personhood” of corporations. 

We want North Carolina to be the seventh state to request that Congress start acting to pass such an amendment.

Mayor, City Council enabling Raelism cult 

Why has Mayor Bellamy, City Council enabled a sex cult known as Raelism into  Asheville? 

They took zero blame for last year’s nightmare. Now we are “Trashville, Cesspool of Sin.”   

 The Raelism cult advocates adultery, infidelity, we well as homosexual, bisexual, hransgender lifestyles for all.

In other words, hHedonism is good. Hedonism on steroids is better.  They want human cloning, one-world government. Their philosophies link to fascism. They want our children taught sex beginning at age 5. Switzerland kicked this cult out of their country over concerns of pedophilia risks to children.     

 GoTopless.Org, the front group for this sex cult, advocates against God, monogamy, marriage, family, capitalism.  They utilize brainwashing. Their mission: dethrone God, destroy our standards of decency and morality.   

Thanks to our mayor and City Council, our safe, family-friendly reputation is destroyed, Our women and children are endangered and degraded.

With everything we know about this cult, our mayor and leadership are knowingly, and purposely, acting against our community’s best interests .

Please educate yourself. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raelism,   www.GoBrainless.org  Demand Mayor/City council empower law enforcement to remove this threat .     

Daily Planet commended for ‘Left is right ....’ article

I’d like to commend you and thank you for the article “Left is right ... and right is wrong, prof claims” in the current edition of The Daily Planet.

I expected the article to be exceedingly biased and, basically, an editorial opinion piece. I was pleased to find that it was by-and-large a factual report of the professor’s talk and contained lots of “red meat” in the form of quotes from his lecture.

I must tell you, when I saw that the first sentence in your article contained a grammatical error (“the political philosophy of liberals and conservatives sharply differ ...”) I wasn’t expecting much - but in the context of the fact that The Daily Planet is a grammatical disaster, I reckon that’s probably the fault of the typesetter?

In any case, the article was well written and very informative. If you haven’t guessed, in my opinion the professor made his case very well, and my reaction to your story is that he’s probably right about most of the things you report him as saying. In the interest of fair play, I’d like to offer you a small observation if your goal in writing for The Daily Planet is to win new converts to conservatism (as opposed to just preaching to the choir). David Brooks IS recognized by the political middle, and by reputable political scientists, as a Conservative and, incidentally, one with real credentials to prove it. Quoting Wikipedia (Dear God!) as a source from which to discredit him is ..... uh, gee, rather amateurish. Furthermore, holding up Rush Limmbaugh and Glenn Beck as good examples of Conservatism kind of makes your critics’ case for them. The criteria for the wisdom of Rush Limbaugh is that he’s the “number 1 rated talk show host”?!? Egad, man. By that standard, Jessica Simpson qualifies as an equal font of widsom! There are entire books devoted to the factual lies, distortions, misrepresentations, and outrigjht nonsense that are the regular fare of those two guys. Sure, they’re “popular” among uneducated angry people who have no polisci knowledge whatsoever - but they don’t bear up under even the slightest scrutiny when fact-based discourse is the standard.

BTW — I note that your description of “his analysis”  (first page, second galley) is not in quotes — meaning it’s not what he said but, rather, the words you are putting in his mouth  You state that “his analysis” is that “liberals believe in big government’. To be frank with you - no, they don’t. That’s the dumbed-down Rush Limbaugh straw-man version of “what liberals believe”. Liberals believe - as the professor stated - in government that works best for the most people, whatever size that entails. A predetermined “size” is not the determinant, functionality and effectiveness are. That’s the Founders definition of a government of “We The People.”

One more offer: to give yourself an honest test of your own leanings and understanding, go to politicalcompass.net and take their test (be brutally honest about what you really think about the questions they ask you). They will respond with an assessment of where you — really — are on the map of political philosophies. You may bve surprised to see where real political science puts your frame of reference.

Why so much space given to talk touting liberalism?

I had to smile the DailyPlanet gave almost FIVE FEET of column space to Professor Bob Wiley’s lecture to 60 seniors, 40 seeming to avoid his second class.

Your article reports he actually quoted the nutty Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts . . . wait for it . . . as a reliable liberal source!

Indian Country Web site reported in a June 20, 2012 article that Cherokee Indians had driven to meet with Warren about her alleged Cherokee background, but refused to meet with them.

One opined, “Elizabeth Warren calls herself a Native American and calls herself a Cherokee, but she doesn’t really seem to care about us.”

I could write about a minority not wanting government involved in their lives for liberals vs. conservatives, but allowed only 150 words for the other side of the story — a strand of spaghetti would have trouble making it into your pub. (149)
