Selectively Frugal: “The deficit is too high to afford anything for the poor, or the environment… but don’t let that stand in the way of my tax cut!”

… even if there were the the most compelling of practical reasons …

There is an extremely practical reason to allow police to randomly frisk any young male (especially) they wish to. This would end all gang violence in the poorest neighborhoods and make Americans who live there feel much less like they are permanent prisoners in their own homes (I fully understand; I’m originally from the Bronx). But the Constitution has some very pointed things to say about it because we don’t want to live in a police state.

Imagine if Osama threatened America with an airliner brought down if we did not electronically strip search 3 million men and women every day all over the country and have strangers aggressively grope all the private areas of 100,000 men and WOMEN in public. Would you give in to that threat? Imagine after we gave in to such mass ugliness an airliner went down anyway — and Obama laughed and said I fooled you; I sent that bomber in from outside the country just like the last two — foolish Americans! (Or maybe he really found a 300 “martyr” — have to investigate if there were any obese Islamic passengers on the downed plane.)

Sadly, I’m afraid the anti-Jewish, pro-Muslim paleo-conservative and paleo-libertarian line of thought (“Israel bad”, “Jews powerful and dangerous”, “Holocaust? well, yes but…”, “Islamists not so bad”) is well documented. Murray Rothbard (a Jew himself), Joe Sobran, Pat Buchanan, even Walter Block and Ron Paul have shown some aspect of those tendencies. Search “Jews”, “Israel” and “Muslim” in mises.org or lewrockwell.com.

Rothbard on anti-semitism:

Yes, Jews and people with Jewish friends can be judeophobes, just like whites can hate their own race, and many do (although most white “self-haters” are actually Jewish or have been inspired by them). Being a judeophobe doesn’t mean you can’t have a Jewish friend, it means you regret his being Jewish. It’s not a crime, but it’s a sad thing.

Judeophobia is also prevalent among most, let’s say, “anti-anti-white” thinkers (a notable exception is Jared Taylor).

Regarding a Jewish GLBT poo-pooing Sarah Palin and all she represents (where’s the surprise?), I don’t think that’s a separate problem; it’s all part of the same conundrum. It’s just a sample of the lemming run many liberal Jews have been pursuing for a long time. They suffer from extreme “Christianophobia”, a profound distrust which is mutual and mutually reinforced. Anything that makes Christians weaker is a good thing for them; they would call for a deluge if Christians were to drown first.

These people seem hopeless, but traditional Jews can and should join Christians to defend Western values like free speech and secularism. That’s why some of the most encouraging news I’ve read these days are about the EDL and Rabbi Shriffen.

This is such an utterly bizarre statement I hardly know where to start. Probably it’s not worth the effort to do so, so I won’t. I do wonder if your own “phobia” towards Islam (some of which I share) permits a certain myopia on other conflicts within Western society. For example, what do you make of the comments made here:

Granted, we largely agree, which is not surprising given that we are commenting on mises.org to begin with. But democracy is not all that bad. Many private organizations, including criminal groups, use some kind of democracy as a way to solve minor issues, when everyone agrees about the fundamentals. Democracy is just useless to solve the fundamental coexistence problems which require separated jurisdictions, which in turn can be achieved by either secession or repatriation. The fundamental problem of the West is not democracy as such; I think it is something we can call “democratic proposition-nationalism”, that is, the belief that a viable nation state with a democratic government can be built around a set of moral values, and then accept immigrants from every corner of the world, with all kinds of cultural and ethnic backgrounds, and that they will all somehow get along and absorb those moral values which make up the nation, thereby perpetuating it by democratic means.

The only kind of viable open-borders “proposition nation” I can think of is a Hoppean market anarchy. The closest thing to that kind of country we have today is, well, the world as a whole. Countries don’t tax each other, and they can have wildly different legal systems.

There’s no need for secession when borders already exist. There’s no need to betray our Enlightenment values with ad-hoc exceptions when it suits our purposes. All it takes is to abandon the grandiose vision of a Western nation-state as a perfect miniature world, and go back to the more realistic concept of an extended home for a particular group of people with shared values and heritage.

Faced with the prospect of large numbers of people refusing the invasive “screening” measures they’ve implemented this holiday season, the TSA is hoping to fight back with threats of fine and arrest.

“Once a person submits to the screening process, they can not just decide to leave” warned Sari Koshetz, a TSA spokesperson. TSA officials say that anyone refusing both the “full body scanners” and the “enhanced pat down” procedures will be taken into custody.

Once there the detainees will not only be barred from flying, but will be held indefinitely as suspected terrorists, face fines of up to $11,000 and may also be turned over to local police. One sheriff’s office said they were already preparing to handle a large number of detainees and plan to treat them as terror suspects, held until they are convinced they don’t pose a terror threat.

The TSA genital “patdowns” have led to threats from some local prosecutors to charge them with sexual assault, but the TSA has shrugged off public outcry over the measures and seems more intent than ever on cowing the public into submission.

9/10/2001 – The day before the false flag attack, two-time Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld (CFR, Bilderberg, Trilateral) announces that the Pentagon cannot account for $2.3 trillion of ‘Loose Change’ in taxpayer funds. A billion is the number of seconds in 30 years. A trillion dollars is a thousand times more than that. Referring to the Pentagon’s sprawling bureaucracy that supposedly lost the money by oversight, Rumsfeld uses eerily threatening language: “The enemy is closer to home” he hisses to reporters, “It’s a matter of life and death.” The very next day, news of the greatest swindle of all time is buried beneath the rubble of the false flag terrorist attack.

9/11/2001 – The day after the taxpayer’s money disappeared, the newly renovated accounting and book-keeping wings of the Pentagon are destroyed, apparently by a remote-controlled aircraft of some kind. http://www.geocities.com/killtown/

You can dismiss it all as tinhattery if you like, but if you think that the hundreds of billions of dollars being tossed around on “defense” and “security” after 9/11 could not possibly be a reward and an incentive to lying and skullduggery, then you’re not paying attention.

Now, maybe what you mean is “why is it in their self interest to help allies with their taxes?”. For the same reason that individuals team up and defend each other against thugs. It’s cheaper and more effective. Having allies you can trust is priceless. Countries with similar moral values can trust each other much more than they can trust countries with alien and mutually despised moral codes.

One guess who they are who “hate our freedom” and it’s not Muslim extremists.

Also, how long before the same “security” is used for trains, boats, long distance buses, etc.?

Exactly. And, worse, if you don’t submit, off to jail you go and pay a fine of, get this, $11,000.

Folks, it was Chertoff that got us on this scanners, the dual Israeli / US citizen who let the dancing Israelis go free to go brag on national Israeli TV they were here to “document the event.” The “event” being the new Pearl Harbor.
