ROBERT BIDINOTTO: The Narcissist and The Narrative
http://bidinotto.blogspot.com/2014/08/the-narcissist-and-narrative.html
Novelist * Essayist * Speaker. Thursday, August 21, 2014. The Narcissist and The Narrative. He is, above all, the consummate narcissist. In each political position he held along the way, he never actually bothered to do the job. He never left behind any legislative footprints, any actual accomplishment. To him, winning the political position was. So, he never stayed more than a few years in any political job. They were only stepping stones to his ultimate objective. At that instant, I knew. At that time,...

Novelist * Essayist * Speaker. Thursday, May 09, 2013. Federal Snoopervisers on My Doorstep. The US. Census Bureau - in the person of Virginia, a mild-mannered lady with an official government I.D. hanging around her neck - showed up on my doorstep yesterday. Lucky me: I have been statistically selected to "participate" in an "interview" known as the American Community Survey. There is a great need for information about the types of homes in whic. Your community is counting on you! Well, the federales su...

http://bidinotto.blogspot.com/2012/10/election-2012-and-clash-of-narratives.html
Novelist * Essayist * Speaker. Friday, October 05, 2012. Election 2012 and the Clash of Narratives. Why Let the Rich Hoard All the Toys. So asks New York Times's. Columnist Nicholas Kristof, in an op-ed that constitutes a perfect, and revealing, distillation of the progressive Narrative—the Narrative that has become the central, if unacknowledged, issue of the 2012 presidential election. Imagine a kindergarten with 100 students, lavishly supplied with books, crayons and toys. 8220;What’s going on? This i...

ROBERT BIDINOTTO: So, You Wanted Your Government to Become Santa Claus?
http://bidinotto.blogspot.com/2013/06/so-you-wanted-your-government-to-become.html
Novelist * Essayist * Speaker. Saturday, June 08, 2013. So, You Wanted Your Government to Become Santa Claus? In view of the shocking, scary revelations about invasions of privacy and abuses of power by the IRS, NSA, FBI, EPA, Department of Justice, and other government agencies: It occurs to me that this is exactly what people get when they want government to become Santa Claus:. He sees you when you're sleeping. He knows when you're awake. He knows if you've been bad or good,. You better watch out.".

ROBERT BIDINOTTO: The Narratives That Guide Our Lives
http://bidinotto.blogspot.com/2011/04/narratives-that-guide-our-lives.html
Novelist * Essayist * Speaker. Monday, April 18, 2011. The Narratives That Guide Our Lives. Most people of my philosophic persuasion believe that the power that moves individuals and cultures is, at root, philosophy. Specifically, that power lies in the "basic premises" which we accept about the world and ourselves: our beliefs about the nature of existence; about how we know things; about what constitutes good and bad; about how we should live together. That premise is mistaken. Or what I call Narratives.

ROBERT BIDINOTTO: The Republican Crack-Up -- and the Path Forward
http://bidinotto.blogspot.com/2013/10/the-republican-crack-up-and-path-forward.html
Novelist * Essayist * Speaker. Wednesday, October 16, 2013. The Republican Crack-Up - and the Path Forward. It is all transpiring as I have foreseen. Not only has the Republican leadership in both houses of Congress completely capitulated to the Democrats, on every point, in crafting the October 2013 "budget agreement" (i.e., signing terms of unilateral Republican surrender); in doing so, the GOP also has signaled that it will not even try to exercise any of its lawful leverage to oppose any. But of the ...

ROBERT BIDINOTTO: How "The Wizard of Oz" Refutes the Liberal Narrative
http://bidinotto.blogspot.com/2013/11/how-wizard-of-oz-refutes-liberal.html
Novelist * Essayist * Speaker. Saturday, November 16, 2013. How "The Wizard of Oz" Refutes the Liberal Narrative. I have been pondering for several months how this classic childhood film presents a remarkable metaphor for the failure of the liberal/progressive/statist view of government. Consider the plot:. But there is a catch. The supplicants are told that first they must pay a price for his help: They must agree to go out and do the wizard's bidding, undergoing a host of ordeals on his behalf....Sudde...

ROBERT BIDINOTTO: 03/31/15
http://bidinotto.blogspot.com/2015_03_31_archive.html
Novelist * Essayist * Speaker. Tuesday, March 31, 2015. Yes, You Have a Right to Be a Bigot. In March 2015, a controversy roiled in Indiana over passage of the state's Religious Freedom Restoration Act. That divisive controversy is the latest fruit of a terrible legal precedent established during the Civil Rights era - which was in turn based on terrible confusion and misunderstanding of the nature of "rights.". But does any such "right" exist? Let me attempt to untangle this mess. Which brings us to the...

The environmental movement I helped found has lost its objectivity, morality and humanity. The pain and suffering it is inflicting on families in developing countries must no longer be tolerated. Eco-Imperialism is the first book I’ve seen that tells the truth and lays it on the line. It’s a must-read for anyone who cares about people, progress and our planet.
