We are developing the social individualist meta-context for the future. From the very serious to the extremely frivolous... lets see what is on the mind of the Samizdata people.
Samizdata, derived from Samizdat /n. - a system of clandestine publication of banned literature in the USSR [Russ.,= self-publishing house]

NEWSFLASH: Sarah Palin attacks political opponent! Sarah Palin has apparently attacked Barack Obama in her impending book ‘America By Heart’ and Alex Spillius writes:
The attack is likely to deepen the impression that the former Alaska governor is too divisive a figure to win the presidency.
A political saying unflattering things about a political opponent! Whatever next? Crazy days, eh?

Who Are We? The Samizdata people are a bunch of sinister and heavily armed globalist illuminati who seek to infect the entire world with the values of personal liberty and several property. Amongst our many crimes is a sense of humour and the intermittent use of British spelling.
We are also a varied group made up of social individualists, classical liberals, whigs, libertarians, extropians, futurists, ‘Porcupines’, Karl Popper fetishists, recovering neo-conservatives, crazed Ayn Rand worshipers, over-caffeinated Virginia Postrel devotees, witty Frédéric Bastiat wannabes, cypherpunks, minarchists, kritarchists and wild-eyed anarcho-capitalists from Britain, North America, Australia and Europe.

Is this guy the political “expert” for some form of media? He’s obviously well educated to catch how uncommon it is for these people to say bad things about each other!
LOL, maybe he’ll get a Pulitzer for such penetrating thought?
Obama seems to have simply erased the caucasian part of his heritage.
I’ve seen pictures of his father, his half brother in Kenya and even an aunt who is in the U.S. illegally, but I can recall ever seeing EVEN ONE photo of his mother.
He only seems to have hung out with other blacks. He only went to an all-black church, and by his statements and attitudes it’s as though he completely denies/ignores his white ancestry.
My God!……aren’t these pernickety women so AGGRESSIVE.
The next thing you know kids will be wanting pizza instead of asparagus.
Yup. “Cet animal est très méchant: quand on l’attaque il se défend.”
The article must’ve been written for those that are not only unaware that politicals will say unflattering things about political opponents, but that The Null is unable to refrain from saying unflattering things about an opponents that never were or will be opponents of his.
The one good thing about Spillius is his consistency.
See his name on an article, and you can pull out a list of 50 idiotic claims that are made about American conservatives, and you can cross half of them off as you scan thru’ to the end.
When Andrew Sullivan’s visa runs out, and he has to return to the UK, Spillius is going to have to fight for his job at the Torygraph.

In which I apparently rule myself forever more out of running for high political office in the United States of America:
Barack Obama’s mother was just as much a Red as his father was (and his maternal grandparents were Reds also).
Sorry – but race is not what this is about. Race is just a tactic that Barack Obama (and his supporters) use to divert attention for his political beliefs (by describing any attack as “racism” or “disguised racism” or whatever).
A white Communist (such as his mother) could not have been elected President – because the election would have been (at least in part, about their beliefs (as shown by their voting record, their associations, and their own words) not the “historic first election of a black person…..”
By talking in racial terms (“Barack Obama has rejected the white part of his heritage”) we play into his hands – he wants the debate to be in those terms, that is how he wins.
As for the Daily Telegraph attack on Sarah Palin – it takes me back years ago……..
The first time that I noticed that the Daily Telegraph (or rather its correspondents – all but Evans-Prichard) were just comming out with the standard propaganda line on the United States was in a little article on Indianapolis.
Mayor Goldsmith (I think that was his name) was free market Republican and was told that a conservative British journalist was comming to interview him. He expected an interview on taxation, government spending and regulations – but that is not what he got.
The British journalists came out with the American MSM propaganda and disinformation standard interview – all about “rascism” in Indianapols and other nonsense.
In the published article the attacks by the journalist were printed but the replies by a (rather shocked) Mayor were cut off – in standard MSM agitprop style.
“This is no longer a conservative newspaper” was my raction – and this article was one reason I stopped subscribing the Daily and Sunday Telegrah.
The basic truth is that the Daily Telegraph gets its journalists from the same place the other newspapers do – the university educated class. And the universities are rotten to the core (as are the schools – including many of the private ones).
The left are close to achieveing cultural hegemony – at least in Britain.
