Venture Capitalist Compares ‘Progressive War On 1 Percent’ To Nazi Anti-Semitism

.

This guy has the gaze of a shark.  More like a piranha.  He’s Thomas Perkins, co-founder of the famous Silicon Valley venture capital firm of Kleiner Perkins Caulfield & Byers.  He actually drew comparisons to the 3rd Reich’s treatment of the Jews (the 1% in Germany) and that of today’s treatment of the top 1% by the progressive community in a letter he wrote to the Wall Street Journal who in turn published it.

.

Just from a purely logical standpoint, the ONLY thing that is common to both of these instances is the mere fact that the groups involved supposedly constitute(d) 1% of the general population.  Otherwise, there is no other serious parallel worth any consideration between these two separate historical phenomena.  This is not the thinking of a particularly insightful individual.  Oh well, one can still become a billionaire without being thoughtful or perceptive.

.

One thing this tells me is that the Super Rich (the top 1%) are starting to bristle at the ongoing narrative started by the Occupy Wall Street movement.  About time, blood suckers!  When you have the world’s 85 richest individuals outright owning half (50%) of the world’s economic assets then you have to conclude that human civilization is definitely at a crossroads.  We’ve long since surpassed the economic excesses of the American Guilded Age (America – 1880-1900) for economic disparity.

.

What are we going to do about this?  Vote the Goddamned Republi-“cons” out of office, especially the House of Representatives this coming November 2014.  The GOP is nothing more than the Praetorian Guard for the Uber Rich!  (Latin: Praetoriani) was a force of bodyguards used by Roman Emperors.)  Beware GOP, the Vandals are at the gate pounding away.

A few observations by Dan Balz, political columnist for the Washington Post (January 18, 2014) concerning the GOP’s prospects for winning back the White House follow down below.

The Republican Party’s uphill path to 270 electoral votes in 2016

.

Over the past six elections, Republicans have averaged just 211 electoral votes and have not won more than 286 since 1988

.

The overall breakdown during the 1992-2012 Presidential election cycles is:

.

From 1992-2012, Democrats built a base that rivals or exceeds that of the Republicans in the earlier period. Eighteen states and the District have voted Democratic in each of the six presidential elections. They represent a total 242 electoral votes, according to the current allocation. Three other states, with a total of 15 electoral votes, have backed the Democrats five times.

.

Adding together the states that voted Republican or Democratic in at least four of the six elections gave Democrats 281 electoral votes and Republicans 219. Only two states — Colorado and Florida, with a total of 38 electoral votes — were won three times for each party in those six elections.

The point of all of this is:  The GOP faces absolutely daunting odds at ever retaking the White House anytime soon and their intransigence at compromise and penchant for filibustering damn near everything while at the same time alienating every known ethnic “minority” and opposing virtually all women’s health issues ensures that they will become a permanent minority party (as presently constituted) on a national scale.

.

They need much more than better candidates.  They need a complete overhaul and frankly, that ain’t happening.  More than likely, just like the Whig Party of the 1850’s, the 21st-century GOP will morph into a totally different political animal with a new name, but only after getting even further pasted with ignominious defeat!

Ciao!

During the 1970’s, John Lennon (hounded at the time by the Nixon Administration’s Attorney General John Mitchell for drug possession) was asked by a reporter if he could forgive & forget —

.

Lennon tartly remarked NOT in the usual instance of that old maxim – “Time Heals All Wounds” –

.

BUT RATHER,

.

“Time Wounds All Heals (Heels)”.

.

Ok, “Heels”, aka George W. Bush, Dick “Dick” Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, et al. – please kindly TAKE NOTE!  Remember, they finally prosecuted Chilean Dictator Augusto Pinochet many years later for his direct role in the disappearance of thousands of Chilean citizens at the hands of the CIA-backed murderous mercenary Chilean military following their September 11, 1973 coup d’état and overthrow of the democratically elected President of Chile, Salvador Allende.
