Why I don't like Obama and the DemocRats.

Today, I read this.

Simulating molecular motions provides researchers with information critical to designing vaccines and helps them decipher the bases of certain diseases, such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, that result from molecular motion gone awry.

In the past, researchers needed either supercomputers or large computer clusters to run simulations. Or they had to be content to run only a tiny fraction of the process on their desktop computers. But a new open-source software package developed at Stanford University is making it possible to do complex simulations of molecular motion on desktop computers at much faster speeds than has been previously possible.

"Simulations that used to take three years can now be completed in a few days," said Vijay Pande, an associate professor of chemistry at Stanford University and principal investigator of the Open Molecular Mechanics (OpenMM) project. "With this first release of OpenMM, we focused on small molecular systems simulated and saw speedups of 100 times faster than before."

OpenMM is a collaborative project between Pande's lab and Simbios, the National Center for Physics-based Simulation of Biological Structures at Stanford, which is supported by the National Institutes of Health. The project is described in a paper that was scheduled to be posted online Feb. 3 in the "Early View" section of the Journal of Computational Chemistry.

And having read it, I thought "Here's some guys working hard at digging up the Truth about the universe.  Way to go!"  This project will lead to some serious breakthroughs in medicine and organic chemistry down the road.  Awesome.

Then later, I read this:

Obama is the Democrats' Great Communicator, our Ronald Reagan. It's fitting that his highest priority will be reversing the tax and spending priorities Reagan enshrined as a new American compact almost 30 years ago, and reviving the notion of government as an engine of capitalist growth -- not merely the safety net provider, but the catalyst for organizing our public resources around what makes the economy strong. We've been arguing at the margins during these last two years of pain: Government should regulate more, or less. Tax rates should be higher, or lower. But there's a dangerous civic illiteracy in our country about what the larger role of government in a modern economy is, or should be, and I don't think Obama will ultimately prevail if he doesn't start to take it on.

Intrigued, I delved further.  What is it that Obama is supposed to be communicating to us illiterate dumb asses?  How is the government the "engine of growth"?

He quotes Robert Reich: The bursting of the housing bubble caused the current crisis, but the underlying problem began much earlier -- in the late 1970s, when median U.S. incomes began to stall.

What happened to the money? According to researchers Thomas Piketty and Emmanuel Saez, since the late 1970s, a greater and greater share of national income has gone to people at the top of the earnings ladder. As late as 1976, the richest 1 percent of the country took home about 9 percent of the total national income. By 2006, they were pocketing more than 20 percent. But the rich don't spend as much of their income as the middle class and the poor do -- after all, being rich means that you already have most of what you need. That's why the concentration of income at the top can lead to a big shortfall in overall demand and send the economy into a tailspin. (It's not coincidental that 1928 was the last time that the top 1 percent took home more than 20 percent of the nation's income.)

Obama's supposed to be telling us "the rich people took it all".  That's why we're broke?  You've gotta be kidding me, you think we are all this dumb.  Wow.

Then the two things link together in the pack rat nest of my mind, and I realize this is why I don't like the DemocRats in general and Mr. Obama in particular.  They could be working hard finding Truth and using it to improve life like the OpenMM guys.  But they aren't.  What they are busy doing is promoting jealousy and hatred between people and lying about things.  I hate that.

BTW is you want your hair to stand on end, google up Thomas Piketty and Emmanuel Saez.  Read some of that, you'll see what kind of communistic nightmare the Obammer in Chief has in store for the poor bastards of America.  It's going to be a rough four years, my friends.
