So I thought about it, “why are my friends not doing as well as me?”. What I should have been asking, is “why are my friends parents not doing as well as mine?” What a revelation of thought. Do people become victims of their circumstances or do they rise above? I hear all the time about the poor black man in the ghetto with no choice but to commit crime. I know about the statics of minorities that are incarcerated. However, I have plenty of black and minority friends that didn’t fall victim to those statistics.

The pathology goes that once in a low income, high crime neighborhood that is your destiny. Bullshit! That is only your destiny if we start believing that we can use government to guarantee the equality of outcome. Equality of outcome? How can we all be Bill Gates? The way I see it, we can’t. Unless we study real hard, have gift for mathematics and computer programming. Of course we don’t have all those traits and we never will. Envy Bill Gates because he is smart yes, envy him because he his successful no.

Do we envy Steve Jobs? NO! Most people I know that have any kind of sympathy for the idiots that take part in the occupy movement love Steve Jobs. Steve Jobs was a ruthless capitalist and a fierce advocate of the free market economy. Why do you think Apple is the most valuable company in the world? Would that the 40,000 people that Apple employs in the US have jobs without billionaire Steve Jobs? Should we punish Steve Jobs if he were still alive for being so successful, and if we did, would that make you any better off?

You can’t climb the ladder of success by pulling other people down. You won’t get far in life by begrudging other people their success. People that vote for Obama and the democrats in general buy into class warfare mystic. They believe that because someone is successful, somebody else isn’t. They believe the government can rectify this problem by making us all equal. That sucks! The only we for us to be all equal is to be at the lowest common denominator. I don’t know about you, but I was never hired by a poor person, or even a person who had the exact same resources as me.

You have to have good morals is you are going to have good economics. It is morally wrong to take from me to give to others what the others can earn from themselves. This excludes those that cannot do for themselves, but honestly, how many of them are? Here in Texas we have all been to HEB and witnessed the person in line talking on their iPhone with their gold watches and necklaces whip out their Lone Star card and pay for their food and then jump in their Escalades and drive off. I can’t help but thinking, “my children would like to have those Dr. Peppers that I’m not buying because I can’t afford them!” What do those peoples teach their children besides a life of dependency?

Okay, I hear all yall bleeding hearts crying, “but what about the people who really can’t do for themselves?” First of all, how is that my problem if we are trying to separate Church from State. Second of all, private charities do a way better job of tending to the truly needy than any government program. Besides, I thought tending to the poor and needy was a job for Jesus, not for the state. Anyway, the poor in Montana are not the same as the poor in Texas. How can we deem to offer Federal assistance to each? The easiest way to to do that is to make us all the same, hence the Obama policies. Don’t be fooled though, Obama is just as big a crony capitalist as anybody, his largest donors are Wall Street.

Wall street has been bad. I understand this. However, just think about this; What if Wall Street was run by a bunch of evangelical ministers? Good morals is good economics. Problem is that we have been so gun ho on removing religion from the public sphere, we have yet to consider the consequences. We are so quick to vilify the righteous and glorify the non-righteous is it any wonder that a small minority of people on Wall Street let greed run their lives? Even considering that, it wasn’t Wall Street that caused the economic collapse of 2008, it was government policy. The ole “no good deed goes unpunished, or the path to hell is paved with good intentions”

Liberals don’t like to look at the result of their policies, they just like to feel good about implementing them. How about the “War on Poverty”, more people are poor and dependent on government than ever before. Just where the Democrats want them. How easy is it to get your vote by promising you free shit? What about the civil rights act of 1965? More black families were intact before the civil rights act and the war on poverty than we have now. The state replaced the father in many households and lead to the cycle of dependency that enslaves many of our black brothers and sisters to the government. Yet blacks vote for Democrats by huge majorities. 50 years of mis-information has had it’s toll and taught them to rely on their government masters. So as a percentage of the population, more blacks are on welfare and more are incarcerated. I don’t think this was Dr. Margin Luther King’s dream. By the way, King was a Republican.

Judeo-Christian values lead to our prosperity. All of our founding documents were based on the teachings of the Church in one form or another. The Magna Carta existed before Martin Luther’s 95 thesis, but if King John was subject to the law as, King John admitted because of the Magna Carta, so was the Pope as put forth by Martin Luther’s thesis. The central point being that all right’s were derived from God. Inexorably, we get the Mayflower Compact and inevitably the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. All of theses documents were based on the biblical teachings. The founders based our entire government on biblical teachings, so how can we have a biblical government and yet separate ourselves from the teachings of the bible?

First of all you have to register the domains you want to have in your WordPress Multi-Site installation. Personally I use GoDaddybecause they have any easy interface for searching available domain names plus registering a .com address with protection for .net and .org is cheap. GoDaddy’s prices are very competitive, but the main reason I use GoDaddy is because Danica Patrick is hot.

Web Hosting

There is a bunch of different options for web hosting and GoDaddy is a very good one. However, I use Media Temple and their grid service because I can host as many domains as I went for just a tiny bit more than just hosting one domain with other services. Plus they allow SSH access, which makes using WordPress Multi-Site a whole lot easier to use.

To Park or not to Park

That’s really not the question. After registering your domain and purchasing your hosting you can login to your hosting account and add your domains. Rinse and repeat until you have all of your registered domains added to your Media Temple account.

Adding domains to your gridservice account

Setting up a network

After you have got your domains, hosting, added your domains to your Media Temple account and pointed your domains to the correct name servers, it is time to get to work on the WordPress side of things.
First you will have to get a network set up, which means you will have to make a small change to your wp-config.php file. Add this piece of code to your config file:

define('MULTISITE', true);

Now log back into your site you should see that you have some new options under settings in the dashboard. This picture shows what the settings tab looks like after installing the Domain Mapping Plugin. Now you can download and install the Domain Mapping plugin and follow the instructions on setting it up. Now you will need to SSH into your Media Temple hosting account and create some symbolic links for your domains.

Back to Media Temple

So you will need to login via SSH to your Media Temple gridservice account. Instructions for doing this can be found on Media Temple. This is a little easier for Mac users because we have the Terminal application, but it can be done by Windows users as well. Just fire up whatever command line utility that you use and login.

Once logged in enter these commands:

cd domains
rm -rf newsite.com

where newsite.com is one of the new sites you added in your account center. This will delete the site files that were created when you added your new domain. Now you need to create a sym link to your main domain with this command.


ln -s originalsite.com newsite.com


Leave the path blank under the info tab

Where originalsite.com is the site you want your new domain to point to and newsite.com is the domain that your are pointing at it. Remember originalsite.com is the main site you set up when you set up your network in WordPress. All of the new sites you have in your WordPress Multi-Site should have your originalsite.com as the primary domain.

You will set the url for newsite.com in the new SiteUrl field under the Settings tab

This is where you set the url of your new site

Add some more sites

Now you can add more sites and administer them all through one interface. Each one of your sites can have different themes, content, and users.
