All Obama ever did was be a *community organizer*, whatever that is. Whatever his academic achievements were are perceived as being based on affirmative action based. How does an American student get a Fulbright Scholarship? I've always heard those are reserved for foreign students. Trump's zero political office experience is perceived by many as a plus. A lot of people are tired of being promised one thing and then those promises abandoned. A lot of people are tired of career politicians.Yeah, Trump is perceived as a *fighter*. Throw a punch at him and he counters ten times harder. Wasn't it Obama that said" if they bring a knife to a fight, we bring a gun"? However, Trump is a negotiator, I've never known Obama to negotiate anything. It's always my way or they high way. If Trump is nominated, I think he's got a pretty good shot.He's attracting a coalition that Republicans have dreamed of but rarely get. There are a lot of independents that are attracted to him. I think you are dreaming if you thing Trump is some great negotiator. It is a different matter dealing with other politicians, other charged circumstances with regard to hostile countries or crazy dictators. You don't start telling them what they're going to do and the blowback from stepping on some of these people's toes is far bigger than losing a contract or some business deal going sideways. Pissing off the wrong people because you're too narcissistic or too delusional to realize you aren't the Big Man of Campus can result in actual war, not just lost revenue. He may have been able to snowplow his way around the business world but he has no idea about the ramifications were he to try his strong arming in the political world as President. Trump is a menace.

[FairfieldLife] Re: FF meditator memoriam
A memorial celebration of Jefferson Aikens will be held on Sunday, January 31, from 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm in Dalby Hall at the Argiro Student Center. It will be a special time when the members of Jefferson’s and Jane's families have a chance to meet our meditating family here in Fairfield. We look forward to seeing everyone together for this truly joyous celebration of Jefferson, the friend to all. The afternoon will be hosted by Bevan Morris and will include some recitation by a group of Maharishi Vedic Pandits, so dear to Jefferson’s heart. We will also post a notice about the celebration in the Domes, closer to the event. Jai Guru Dev ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, wrote : Thanks.

We do well recognize each other though in ways for the time we have spent together in groups meditating, or at meetings or the other cultural activities of the larger meditating community.

[FairfieldLife] The 'Absolute' of Transcendentalism
In 'The Science of Being and Art of Living', written by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, and first published in 1963, Maharishi states: “Being is the ultimate reality of all that exists; It is absolute in nature. Everything in the universe is of a relative order, but eternal Being, the ultimate life principle of unmanifest nature, expresses itself in different forms and maintains the status quo of all that exists. The absolute and relative existence are the two aspects of eternal Being; It is both absolute and relative.” “…The Science of Being not only postulates a theory of one absolute element at the basis of the entire creation but also provides a systematic way whereby any man may have direct experience of the essential nature of transcendental, absolute Being.”

Why We Lose: National Review Launches Victorian-Era Attack On Donald Trump by John Nolte, 22 Jan 2016 Whatever you might think of National Review’s Thursday night attack on Donald Trump is beside the point.

All that time, all that work, all that effort, all that organization, and by noon the next day, because of a terrible launch platform, National Review’s nuke has already belly-flopped and disappeared into the sea. The entire execution behind the delivery of this dud immediately brought this to my mind: INT. PRIVATE CLUB – K STREET – VICTORIAN ERA Long hallway. Oak paneled walls. Ends at two closed, imposing doors. The only sound is horse-drawn carriages passing by outside and the echo of IMPORTANT MEN discussing IMPORTANT MATTERS from behind those doors. From somewhere a bell tinkles. Immediately a BOY in a heavily-starched uniform appears. The doors swing open. A toxic cloud of cigar smoke swallows the boy. As the smoke dissipates, we see that the room inside is filled with WELL-DRESSED IMPORTANT MEN pleased with themselves. They sit in leather chairs and drink brandy. The BOY is handed a piece of paper – A PROCLAMATION. Like it is as sacred as the Magna Carta, the BOY runs to make his delivery as the WELL-DRESSED IMPORTANT MEN confidently celebrate how their proclamation will change the world.

[FairfieldLife] With Democrats In Charge This Is What Happens
With Democrats In Charge The Result Is Racism, Rape, Riots, and Poison Water by John Nolte 21 Jan 2016 Pop quiz: Who almost exclusively has run Hollywood, America’s university system, and almost every big urban city in America, and done so for decades? The answer is more complicated than “Democrats.” Most of the people who run these institutions and communities are so much more than Democrats. They are leftists — hardcore, government-loving, Alinsky-worshipping, central planning, community-organizing leftists. And yet, when they enjoy free rein for decades, take a hard look at the utopia these utopians create. Let’s start with Hollywood, which is about as hard-left as any institution in the country. What we have here is a community run by leftists currently embroiled in a huge race scandal. For two years in a row, only white actors have been nominated for performance Oscars. Where leftists have enjoyed unchallenged rule for decades, 40 out of 40 acting nominations have gone to Whitey. According to the left-wing mainstream media, there is a rape crisis rampaging though America’s university system. If you choose to believe the studies and reports, campus rape is a full-blown epidemic. How is this possible when for decades hardcore leftists have enjoyed unchallenged rule over America’s higher education system. There are exceptions, of course, like Liberty University, where there is no rape cris– oh, wait, Liberty is run by conservative Christians. On top of all that rape, according to the leftists who for decades have run the American university system, there is a major racism problem http://www.huffingtonpost.com/news/college-campus-racism/ at the very same American university system Leftists… have… run… for… decades… Leftists take over Hollywood and the result is racism. Leftists take over the college campus and the result is racism and rape. And I’m just getting started. The city of Flint, Michigan, has been imploding since the 1980’s. Now, due to mismanagement by city officials, the water is poisoned with lead. In every way imaginable, the city is an arm-pit. But how is that possible when Utopian-Democrats have run the city unchallenged for years http://www.nationalreview.com/article/429803/flint-water-scandal-democratic-pattern? How is that possible when in 2006, Flint was voted the 10th most liberal city in America? According to our left-wing media, armed, racist government-employees (police officers) who are employed by Democrats (mayors) in cities run for decades by Democrats, are gunning down innocent black people: Chicago, Baltimore, http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2015/04/28/baltimore-is-a-democrat-problem-not-americas-problem/ Ferguson (which is run by the St. Louis county), and in some of those cases, riots follow. The youth black unemployment rate is an astonishing 21%. http://newsone.com/2662081/black-unemployment-rate-2/Don’t most of these young people live in Liberal Utopias? Who is exclusively in charge of our failing urban public schools systems? Anyone want to talk about Detroit? Do not, though, make the mistake of blaming Democrats. You can’t blame Democrats anymore than you can blame a rattlesnake bite on the rattlesnake. Predators prey, that’s what Democrats are and that is what Democrats do. After so many decades, you have to blame the stupid prey — the morons who live, work, and spend tens-of-thousands of dollars in tuition to be preyed upon. If rapes and racism and riots and poisoned water don’t result in a political revolution, that’s not your problem or my problem or America’s problem. It’s a choice. Until the sheep fire up a flare telling the world they are ready for change, all you can do is hold on to your compassionate hope that someday that time comes.

When Obama ran for his second term it seems to have been taken for granted, even by Republicans, that he would win. In that case, thought I at the time, wouldn't it have been a smart move to have Sarah Palin as the rival candidate. Why so? Well, if the candidate is going to lose regardless you don't want to sacrifice a plausible, high-profile contender. Why not throw Palin onto the funeral pyre? And, by having a woman as their choice, Republicans could claim ever after that they were the first party in US history to root for a female President. You want progressive politics? Go GOP. And - just as many voters opted for Obama simply because he was black - Sarah Palin would have been a wild card: many might have voted for her simply because she was a woman (though fibbing that they had voted for the Democrats). Apologies for giving you nightmares, but what do you think of my cunning plan?
[FairfieldLife] Re: Einstein - close but no cigar
Re "Faster than light they must be relativistically moving backwards in time.": This stuff is beyond my pay grade but I understand that talk of backwards time travel is based on the "light cone" - zones in our past are "now" outside the ability of a light signal to reach us (see below). However, if neutrinos can exceed light speed then maybe that just means the angle at the cone's tip should be larger . . ? If that is not the case and neutrinos can send signals back into the past then ponder this: A mad scientist sets up an experiment in which a neutrino beam sends a signal into the past (say one second before). If a receiver picks up the signal sent from one second in the future it immediately shuts down the transmitter so ensuring that no signal will ever be sent. Mindfcuk. A contradiction. A contradiction in *reality*! Help! The manifold of space-time is starting to unravel. Is anyone out there? ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, wrote : ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, wrote : Scientists said on Thursday they recorded particles travelling faster than light. Antonio Ereditato, spokesman for the international group of researchers, said that measurements taken over three years showed neutrinos pumped from CERN near Geneva to Gran Sasso in Italy had arrived 60 nanoseconds quicker than light would have done. "We have high confidence in our results. We have checked and rechecked for anything that could have distorted our measurements but we found nothing," he said. "We now want colleagues to check them independently." If confirmed, the discovery would undermine Albert Einstein's 1905 theory of special relativity, which says that the speed of light is a "cosmic constant" and that nothing in the universe can travel faster. That's interesting, as are neutrinos themselves. If I recall correctly, they are forged as a byproduct of nuclear fusion inside stars, the first odd thing about them is that they start travelling faster than light speed so they side-step the problem with acceleration. They are also massless which means they avoid having infinite mass - having none to start with - this also helps avoid destroying the universe as there are rather a lot of them. A few billion neutrinos from the sun pass through every square inch of your skin every second. Perhaps the most interesting thing about them is that if they really are travelling faster than light they must be relativistically moving backwards in time. This is because time slows down for the observer as you get close to light speed and stops when you reach it (not that you can) but anything going faster is - compared to our time frame - going backwards. This has been used as a plot device in hard sci-fi for decades, astrophysicist Gregory Benford wrote his Timescape novel featuring communication from the future via neutrino beams, as did John Carpenter in his movie Prince of Darkness (it was far and away the best bit of the film).. So the question is, how come these guys at CERN didn't know this? Do they not read sci-fi or was Benford's book transmitted back through time as a publicity stunt? Perhaps it was pure theory until now and they are justifiably excited in being able to prove it? Interesting stuff, but Einstein is safe, for now

From the Wall Street Journal re: Obama's 2012 win: "More fundamentally, the thing to keep in mind with analyses about which demographic group decided an election is that, given a small enough margin, victories can be attributed to a number of different factors. And that applies even to Obama’s seven-point win. For instance, it’s possible to make the argument that the election was decided by age instead of by race. Obama is 47, 25 years younger than his opponent. In November 2004, Kerry was 60, two years older than his opponent. Obama won the 18- to 29-year-old vote by 34 percentage points, and the 30- to 44-year-old vote by six points; Kerry’s margins among those two age groups were nine points and negative seven points, respectively. If voters in those two age groups had split among the two major parties in the same proportions as in 2004, and with all else equal, McCain would have won the election by a percentage point. Not to mention that a given voter’s decision may have nothing to do with his or her age, race or other demographic factors." ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, wrote : When Obama ran for his second term it seems to have been taken for granted, even by Republicans, that he would win. In that case, thought I at the time, wouldn't it have been a smart move to have Sarah Palin as the rival candidate. Why so? Well, if the candidate is going to lose regardless you don't want to sacrifice a plausible, high-profile contender. Why not throw Palin onto the funeral pyre? And, by having a woman as their choice, Republicans could claim ever after that they were the first party in US history to root for a female President. You want progressive politics? Go GOP.

They are leftists — hardcore, government-loving, Alinsky-worshipping, central planning, community-organizing leftists. And yet, when they enjoy free rein for decades, take a hard look at the utopia these utopians create. Let’s start with Hollywood, which is about as hard-left as any institution in the country. What we have here is a community run by leftists currently embroiled in a huge race scandal. For two years in a row, only white actors have been nominated for performance Oscars. Where leftists have enjoyed unchallenged rule for decades, 40 out of 40 acting nominations have gone to Whitey. According to the left-wing mainstream media, there is a rape crisis rampaging though America’s university system.

Leftists take over the college campus and the result is racism and rape. And I’m just getting started. The city of Flint, Michigan, has been imploding since the 1980’s. Now, due to mismanagement by city officials, the water is poisoned with lead. In every way imaginable, the city is an arm-pit. But how is that possible when Utopian-Democrats have run the city unchallenged for years http://www.nationalreview.com/article/429803/flint-water-scandal-democratic-pattern? How is that possible when in 2006, Flint was voted the 10th most liberal city in America?

[FairfieldLife] Re: Conservative Big-Wigs are Clueless
Your cunning plan does not pass muster, I'm afraid. Republicans did not assume Obama was going to win in 2012. On the contrary, they thought right up to the last minute that their candidate Romney would win. They saw Obama as a failed, unpopular Jimmy Carter-type one-term president. Boy, did they get that wrong! Also, Sarah's star had faded long before the 2012 elections. She was not in the hunt at all, thank God. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, wrote : When Obama ran for his second term it seems to have been taken for granted, even by Republicans, that he would win.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Conservative Big-Wigs are Clueless
Republicans traditionally do *something* like that. But usually it's a *seniority* system. The Time before last was John McCain's turn to lose. He had been wanting to be president for so long. He was the senior statesman, the war hero, the one that bucked the party to cross the isle and work with the dems. Bob Dole was in a similar situation. He ran against Clinton. Everyone knew he would lose.

You can’t blame Democrats anymore than you can blame a rattlesnake bite on the rattlesnake." ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, wrote : With Democrats In Charge The Result Is Racism, Rape, Riots, and Poison Water by John Nolte 21 Jan 2016 Pop quiz: Who almost exclusively has run Hollywood, America’s university system, and almost every big urban city in America, and done so for decades? The answer is more complicated than “Democrats.” Most of the people who run these institutions and communities are so much more than Democrats. They are leftists — hardcore, government-loving, Alinsky-worshipping, central planning, community-organizing leftists. And yet, when they enjoy free rein for decades, take a hard look at the utopia these utopians create. Let’s start with Hollywood, which is about as hard-left as any institution in the country. What we have here is a community run by leftists currently embroiled in a huge race scandal. For two years in a row, only white actors have been nominated for performance Oscars. Where leftists have enjoyed unchallenged rule for decades, 40 out of 40 acting nominations have gone to Whitey. According to the left-wing mainstream media, there is a rape crisis rampaging though America’s university system. If you choose to believe the studies and reports, campus rape is a full-blown epidemic. How is this possible when for decades hardcore leftists have enjoyed unchallenged rule over America’s higher education system. There are exceptions, of course, like Liberty University, where there is no rape cris– oh, wait, Liberty is run by conservative Christians. On top of all that rape, according to the leftists who for decades have run the American university system, there is a major racism problem http://www.huffingtonpost.com/news/college-campus-racism/ at the very same American university system Leftists… have… run… for… decades… Leftists take over Hollywood and the result is racism. Leftists take over the college campus and the result is racism and rape. And I’m just getting started. The city of Flint, Michigan, has been imploding since the 1980’s. Now, due to mismanagement by city officials, the water is poisoned with lead. In every way imaginable, the city is an arm-pit. But how is that possible when Utopian-Democrats have run the city unchallenged for years http://www.nationalreview.com/article/429803/flint-water-scandal-democratic-pattern? How is that possible when in 2006, Flint was voted the 10th most liberal city in America? According to our left-wing media, armed, racist government-employees (police officers) who are employed by Democrats (mayors) in cities run for decades by Democrats, are gunning down innocent black people: Chicago, Baltimore, http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2015/04/28/baltimore-is-a-democrat-problem-not-americas-problem/ Ferguson (which is run by the St. Louis county), and in some of those cases, riots follow.

He sucks all of the oxygen out of the room , doesn't he? Nobody pays any attention to the others.He gets all of the media attention and it doesn't cost him a dime and it's all* politics*. Guy is pretty Effin smart, especially when he horrifies his opposition. But then he knows his opposition are a bunch of wimps that can't handle it because they are accustomed to PC. It's like Mike Tyson vs Mahatma Gandhi. It's horrifying! Somebody is going to get the crap beat out of them. The gloves are off! LOL! Anne, many people think the reason McCain and Romney lost their elections was because they wouldn't go on the attack. They didn't want to appear too negative because it would turn off the undecided voters, it wouldn't be politically correct. Some people see Political Correctness as Political castration, intending to make one side impotent. I think Trump is testing that. Hillary is not a sympathetic figure. She was in charge of the Bimbo irruptions. She threatened the women that called- out Bill while saying every woman should be believed when it comes to sexual assault. She denied more security in Bhengazi. Trump can come- off like a wife beater when dealing with Hillary in the campaign and it won't hurt him ... and he probably will.
