Essentially the iPhone is safe from the Droid because most iPhone users are liberals. They are people who WANT a Mommy and Daddy watching over them. iPhone developers  must navigate a Byzantine approval process that is so bad, that some even stoop to using Microsoft's .NET to get things done.  Apple tests and approves every application offered on the iPhone to make sure they all play nice together. This of course ensures the phone will deliver the beautiful and slick  user experience Apple has decided its users will have. The iPhone is a good example of the "one-size-fits all" top-down mentality of liberals.  If you want a different experience from what your masters thinks you SHOULD have and SHOULD want, you are just SOL.  The lowercase "i" in iPhone doesn't occur by accident. The individual just isn't as important, and the "Phone" takes precedence. Many iPhone and Mac  users come near to worshipping Apple and their products,  going so far as to genuflect when they turn on a Apple device, ensure they face San Jose 3 times a day to give thanks for their iLife and to pray for the saving of the pagans who do not yet have one.

In contrast, Verizon's Droid in Particular, and the Android OS in general are created for a different set of users who are interested in an I-Phone rather than a iPhone. They are interested in a "MY LIFE", rather than an iLife. Open Development is a form of freedom that comes with its own attendant problems: some applications might conflict, the interface will be bit rough around the edges, and you have to look out for and solve these difficulties yourself.   I-Phone users will sit down and write applications that fit them, break the new ground they want to explore , and they don't need nor want a Master approving what they can and can't do.

The  Droid I-Phone  is not an iPhone killer because  those who own an iPhone are NOT INTERESTED in the FREEDOM provided by an open development device.  Likewise, those same people are NOT INTERESTED in the freedom provided by our Constitution and our Founding Principles. They religiously worship the iPhone and feel justified in trying to force everyone to have an iLife. Liberals wish to control your Life Experience to meet THIER tastes and ideas of what people <SHOULD> want- be it in the type of insurance you buy, the food you eat, what fuels you will use, what you may wear, what you may say, and what opinions you may hold.  They seek that safe, integrated experience where we all play nice with each other, look good together, and each person's life  is approved and sanctioned by a central authority. 

In a perfect world, we would all be able to choose if we want an iLife or a My-Life, and the people who are not happy with the I-Country  the Founders created would move to an iCountry in Europe or elsewhere. But they won't.  iPhone users are engaged in a Holy Crusade to create an iWorld and in that world there is no room for a capital I.

Of course, liberals, who claim to speak for that Mob , say if the wealthy pay protection money to them, they can prevent the Mob of “Have-Nots” from arriving. This is really just the difference between organized crime, and the random acts of petty thieves. Organized Crime Syndicates systematically “shake down” their targets, threatening them with violent crime if they don't comply with their demands. With this argument, Liberals are really just suggesting that the Government become the principle agent of force in an organized crime ring, shaking down the productive, responsible citizens and handing out “favors” in return for promising to do a “favor” at the polls. Our governments were originally instituted to prevent Crime and protect property, not to facilitate its theft and aid in finding supplicants to help grow the criminal enterprise. Liberals advocate the use of criminal force, disguised as the legitimate operation of a government collecting taxes, as the means of collecting the protection money, and ironically call those who object “selfish.” A criminal operation cannot be legitimized by claiming a majority voted for it, when the voters who did were paid to do so from the profits of the ring. The Democratic Party is the Party of the Mafia, and that is the Mob we should be worried about - the petty thieves can wait.

Article V

This Government, once formed, is independent of the will of the people, otherwise known as the “wards of the State.” These wards have no rights to make their own decisions and agree to abide by any and all decisions made by the elite members of this government, because this government will know what is best for everyone, and can be trusted to make the "right decisions" where individuals may fail. 

Article VI

All Debts contracted and Engagements entered into shall be paid off with devalued fiat currency collected by force from the productive citizens of the United Socialist States

The enumeration in this constitution of certain individual rights , shall not be construed to deny or disparage the rights of government to repeal them individually or en-mass when such repeal is in the “Common good”

I have called it virtue, and shall take the same method to prove it such, as we commonly use or demonstrate any other habit or action to be a virtue , that is, by showing its usefulness, and great good it does Society. What can be said to the contrary, has already been said by everybody; and indeed it is to so little to the purpose, that anybody may easily say it. But the path I mean to tread has been Hitherto trod by no body; if therefore I should meet with the difficulties usual in tracing new roads, and be in some places a little at loss, the candor of the reader will the more readily excuse me.

The first advantage I shall mention , arising from the free practice of Censure or Backbiting, is , that it is frequently the means of preventing powerful, politick, ill-designing men, from growing too popular for the Safety of the State. Such men are always setting their best actions to view, in order to obtain confidence and trust, and establish a party. They endeavor to shine with false or borrowed merit, and carefully conceal their real demerit: (that they fear evil to be spoken of is evident from their striving to cover every ill with a specious pretence;)   But examining all CENSURE, with her hundred eyes and her thousand tongues, soon discovers and divulges in all quarters, every least crime or Foible that is a part of their true character. This clips the wings of their Ambition, weakens their cause and Party, and reduces them to the necessity of dropping their pernicious designs , springing from a violent thirst of Honor and Power; or, if that thirst is unquenchable, they are obliged to enter into a course of true virtue, without which real grandeur is not to be attained.

Again, the common practice of censure is a mighty restraint upon the Actions of every private man ; it greatly assists out otherwise weak resolutions of living virtuously. What will the world say of me if I act thus? Is often a reflection strong enough to enable us to resist the most powerful temptation to vice or folly. This preserves the Wavering, the Honesty of the Covetous, the Sanctity of some of the Religions, and the Chastity of all Virgins. And Indeed, when People once become regardless of Censure, they are arrived to a pitch of Impudence little inferior to the Contempt of All Laws human and divine.

The common practice of censure is also exceedingly serviceable, in helping man to the knowledge of himself; a piece of knowledge highly necessary for all, but acquired by very few, because very few sufficiently regard and value the censure past by others on their actions. There is hardly such a thing as a friend, sincere or rash enough to acquaint us freely with our faults; nor will any but an enemy tell us of what we have done amiss, to our faces, and enemies meet with little credit in such cases, for we believe they speak from malice and ill-will. Thus we might live in the blindest ignorance of our own folly, and while everybody reproached us in their hearts, might think our conduct irreproachable,. But thanks to Providence, ( that has given every man a natural inclination to backbite his neighbor) we now hear of many things said of us, that we shall never heard said to us.; (for out of Goodwill to us, or ill will to those who have spoken ill of us, everyone is willing enough to tell us how we are censured by others ) and we have the advantage of mending our manners accordingly.

Another vast benefit arising from the common practice of backbiting, is, that is helps exceedingly in a thorough Knowledge of Mankind, a science most useful of all sciences. Could we come to know no Man of whom we had not a particular experience, our sphere of knowledge would certainly be narrow and confined, and yet at the same time must probably have cost us very dear.  For the crafty tricking villain would have the vast advantage over the honest and  undesigning part of men, when he might cheat and abuse almost everyone he dealt with , if none would take the liberty to characterize him among their acquaintance behind his back.

Without saying more on its behalf, I am able to challenge all the orators or writers in  the world,  to show (with solid reason) that the few trifling inconveniences attending it, bear any proportion to the vast benefits! And I will venture to assert to their noses, that nothing could be more absurd or pernicious than a  law against backbiting, if such a law could possibly take effect; Since it would undoubtedly be the Greatest encouragement to Vice that ever Vice met with, and do more towards increasing it, than would the abolishing of all other laws whatsoever.

I might likewise have  mentioned  the usefulness of censure in society, as it is a certain and an equal punishment for such follies and vices as the common laws either do not sufficiently punish, or have provided no punishment for. I might have observed, that were it not for this, we should find the number of some sorts of criminals increased to a degree sufficient not only to infest, but even to overthrow all good and civil conversation: But it is endless to enumerate every particular advantage arising from this glorious virtue! A virtue, which whoever exerts, must have the largest share of Public Spirit and Self-denial, the highest benevolence and regard to the good of others; since in this he entirely sacrifices his own interest, making not only the persons he accuses, but all that hear him his Enemies; for all that deserve censure (which are by far the greatest number) hate the Censorious;

That dangerous weapon, wit

Frightens a Million when a few you hit

Whip but a Cur as you ride thro’ a town

And Strait his Fellow Curs the Quarrel Own:

 Each knave or Fool that’s conscious of a crime Tho’ he scapes now, looks for’t another time

 A Virtue! Decried by all that fear it, but a strong presumption of the innocence of them that practice it; for they cannot be encouraged to offend, from the least prospect of favor or Impunity; their faults or failings will certainly meet with no Quarter from others. And whoever practices the Contrary, always endeavoring to excuse and palliate the Crimes of Others, may rationally be suspected to have some secret darling Vice, which he hopes to have excused him in return. A Virtue! Which however ill people may load it with the opprobrious names of calumny, scandal, and detraction, and I know not what, will still remain a virtue, a bright, shining, solid virtue, of more real use to mankind than all the other virtues put together; and indeed, is the mother protectress  of them all, as well as the enemy , the destructress of vice. A virtue, innately, necessarily, and essentially so; for – but dear reader, large folio volumes closely written, would scare be sufficient to contain  all of the Praises due to it. I shall offer you at present only one more convincing argument on its behalf. Viz. That you would not have had the satisfaction of seeing this discourse so agreeably short as I make it, were it not for the just fear I have of incurring your CENSURE , should I continue to be troublesome by extending it to greater length.

Benjamin Franklin, The Pennsylvania Gazette, Sept 7^th, 1732

There is no Doubt Representative Wilson’s outburst was inappropriate, and he, like an adult, has apologized. Did the Children on the Democratic side apologize for their outbursts during the State of the Union Address is 2005? Did they issue an  apology for the “civility” of the Democrats in characterizing their opponents?  Have they demended an    apology for the  “civility” shown on college campuses?

By calling the Adults in the Conservative movement children, Leftists are  trying to use Conservative’s own values and maturity against them. Values and a maturity that are obviously not shared on the Left, who employs a a moral double standard. The Left cynically uses the values of the right, values they do not share, as a bludgeon to censure and silence them – to hang them by their own petard.  Never does the left try to silence its own critics, or hold them to the same standards. The left, being whiny children, only know how to criticize, as here demonstrated by the Child in Chief, who certainly does not practice what he preaches.

The Left pretends to share the civil values of the right, but in real life they use expediency as their only principle. Saul Alinski’s Rules for Radicals is the Bible of the left.  If an act  advances the Left’s agenda, the behavior is good. If it does not, then it is bad. The left accuses the right of hypocrisy whenever the right starts to play by and use the same rules as the left. The charge of Hypocrisy is valid, because the political right must abandon Adult Behavior and principles  in order to play by those rules, whereas the Left have no such principles. The Left is a bunch of Kindergarten Children who just want to get their way, by any means possible.  Confronted with such an enemy, it should not be surprising that the Right must sometimes must abandon its principles and confront evil with evil.  Hitting another adult is never civilized, but a spanking is an Adult Response when dealing with a Child who will understand nothing else.

The Republican Support of Medicare is not driven by principle. Medicare is a socialistic system,  soon to be insolvent (it’s a Ponzi scheme). However it also has millions of people now dependent upon it – reducing those people into the child-wards of the government. That is why programs like Obamacare are insidious. The fact that the Republicans are now using the expedient of appealing to that dependency for support, where only Democrats have done so in the past only highlights the problem.  Such programs are the means by which our Republic is corrupted – a means by which politicians may buy and keep votes by using the dependency of the people as a weapon against them. Dependency is a form of slavery. If you control a man’s livelihood you control the man. It may be  hypocritical of republicans to appeal to this dependency, because they wish everyone to be independent adults, but its not a system they would put in place. In contrast, such Dependency is the goal of the Democratic party and the only means by which they stay in power.

 “As children grow up, one of the measures of increasing maturity is their willingness to begin focusing on the long term -- on saving for the future -- on getting a good education -- on the long-term welfare of their family. Instead of throwing a tantrum because they want an ice cream cone now, they start savings their nickels and dimes for the bicycle they want to save up to buy in the future….”

If the people in the Democratic party did this, then they would be Adults. Again, they proclaim one standard for  others and another for themselves. Democrats have spent all of the Social Security and Medicare Trust Funds. Democrats put into place the tax code that prevents Health Care insurance portability. Democrats  told Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae to create the subprime market and give out irrepsonible loans in order to help "the poor", without ever asking why they were poor. .It is the left yelling we need health care now, paid for out of the piggy banks of others.  It is the Democrats who  want to rob the adults who did save their nickels and dimes to take care of children who DIDN’T get a good education, and who DON’T focus on the long term needs of their families, and who didn’t save their nickels and dimes. The Democratic Party is the party that supports and encourages people to NOT grow up and supports enslaving the people who did.  

Fundamentally, an Adult is someone who can take care of themselves. They are responsible people who ensure that they will not be a Burden on someone else, and they do not NEED someone else to pay for their health care, clothes, food, shelter, or anything else.  Adults do not feel entitled to the Labor of others, nor do they feel they can force others to contribute to their church or their favorite charity.

The Left adopts the attitude that everything they needed to know they learned in Kindergarten. They engage in and use a childish set of ethics developed for those who were not yet emotionally mature enough to deal with the realities of the Adult world. The left wants to ensure everyone gets a cupcake, and don’t consider or care who is going to be forced to expend their labor in producing the cupcakes. Obviously the Adults with the means and abilities to make Cupcakes are obligated to take care of the children who can’t do so for themselves. “Life isn’t fair”, “Money doesn’t grow on trees” and “You can’t have your Cake and Eat it to” are all Adult ideas beyond the intellectual and emotional capabilities of the Left.  Hence you can’t discuss the actual Facts of a situation with a Liberal and get a reasoned response.

It is a fact - The Bureaucratic Structure of ObamaCare and the System Hitler put in place are nearly identical. It is a fact that both plans put a whole lot of power into the hands of unaccountable people. It is a fact that a eugenicists is on staff in the White House as Science Czar. It is a fact that while the bill itself does not enact death panels, it gives an unaccountable body the ability to do so, either under this administration or a future one. It is a fact that the cost-cutting mandate of the panel will provide it an incentive to make coverage decisions based on the age of the patient. This is not a scare tactic. This is fact. It happens all of the time in Great Britian.

It is a fact that Obama’s Pastor of 20 years is a racist. It’s a fact that Obama hired a 9/11 Truther conspiracy theorist and self-proclaimed communist as a Czar.  Republicans “encouraging” birtherism or failing to condemn death threats is nothing in comparison to USING Government power to implement communism, and racist policies (affirmative  action is by defintion racist). The Democrats have used their POSITIONS OF POWER in Government and the Media to  characterize their enemies as unhealthy, fear-spreading  and hate mongering, swastika carrying, racist, "teabagging" un-american brownshirts in an astroturfed  mob and have OFFICALLY classified  them as terrorists and right wing extremists with the Department of Homeland Security. (Read the Alinski Playbook- you have examples of  it all right there) . The concern over the President’s Speech to children was a concern over the use of his power. (a concern the Democrats found expedient at one time, but no longer)   Obama  is a President – NOT A KING. His power is LIMITED. Just because "he won" doesn't mean he is entitled to do anything he wants.
