Logic: Not Their Strong Point

I once worked at a small company that made scrapers, putty knives and various painting equipment. Our customers consisted of Home Depot and many smaller accounts. Home Depot was about 80% of our business.

The Sales Manager - whose job seemed to be cutting out various articles and giving them to the owner of the company, in addition to flying around the country to conventions/shopping sprees - had, as far as I could tell, not brought a single new customer onboard in the 2-1/2 years that I worked there. All of our clients were holdovers from the previous owners of the company.

One day this woman came up with this brilliant idea: We'll concentrate on the smaller, mom-and-pop hardware stores and phase out Home Depot. The owner, who I'm sure either was sleeping with, or wanted to sleep with, this fool, jumped in with both feet and, soon, we started losing Home Depot's business

Needless to say, the business crashed and burned within a year. Luckily, I had moved on by then.

That whole farce came back to me not long after the last election. The Democrats, in their wisdom, decided to try to cobble together a base of small, not very powerful "customers" (e.g. pick your Democrat freakshow group) while ignoring the big powerhouse that is the vast majority of this country: normal, middle-class Americans.

And the results were the same. And, like the company that I worked for, they just couldn't figure out what went wrong. And these were supposedly the "smart" people.

 *******************************************************************************

Completely off topic, but here are some anecdotes from this company that are too funny not to share.

The owner walked up to my boss (who became a good friend of mine) and made this amazing statement: "You know, I just realized that, for every putty knife that we put together, we have to have a steel blank and a handle coming in the back door". Think about that.

And this was after the guy had owned the company for five years, and worked there for five years before he had bought the place (he was a rich, urban, Jewish guy born with your proverbial silver spoon in his mouth, so he was obviously a Lefty).

Another time he walked outside while my boss and I were on break, pointed to the busy highway in front of the place and asked, "What are those big, black birds that I always see on the side of the road?".

To which my boss said, "You mean...crows?".

The owner said, "Oh, is that what they are?", and turned and went inside.

The owner loved him some German engineering. All of our machines were from Germany. He also drove nothing but BMW's.

One day I asked him why he liked BMW's so much and, of course, he went on about the wonders of German engineering. I nodded knowingly (although German engineers are as logically clueless as any others) and slipped into the conversation how BMW stood for Bremen Motor Works, which the Nazis staffed with slave labor during WWII. He looked at me like he knew that I was making a point, but he just couldn't figure out what it might be. Remember: this guy was Jewish.

On another occasion, my boss was in a meeting and our HR Manager, a complete Leftist (ain't they all?), suggested that, because our employees were almost all Mexican, we should learn to speak Spanish instead of them learning English.

My boss, being the great Conservative that he is, absolutely let her have it. The meeting adjourned very shortly thereafter with lots of startled faces.

It was an interesting place to work. Stupidity can be very entertaining.

Never Thought I'd See This

I wasn't a huge supporter of Donald Trump. I still don't know that I trust him to do what he said he was going to do on the campaign trail. However, I am coming around. His cabinet picks are great, for starters.

However, the absolute best thing about him is watching the media flailing around, caught absolutely flatfooted, shrieking like long-spoiled children who have suddenly, repeatedly been told, "No!".

"This is not how the game goes!", they scream."You're supposed to play by our rules!", they whine.

After decades of watching Republican politicians get the "deer in the headlights" look any time that a reporter would accuse them of any of the Left's "isms" or "phobias", it does my heart good to see someone finally look the Fakestream Media in the eye and say, "Fuck you! War!" (No wonder Breitbart.com supported Trump so rabidly). Not even Reagan went this far in chastising the media.

The media have had their way for so long, that they have absolutely no idea how to react to Trump. It never occurred to them that the rules could be changed, because the rules hadn't been changed for almost 100 years! At least since the time of FDR, and probably even before that.

The media throws "racism" at him, and Trump looks at them like the pieces of shit that they are and says, "Fuck you". Now they are the ones with the "deer in the headlights" look.

It is a breathtaking sight to behold. Even if he doesn't do half of what he says that he'll do, if he keeps on shredding these credentialed idiots in the press, I'll support him 110%.

Why Not The First?

The Rights in The Bill of Rights of The Constitution of the United States were supposed to be absolute. That's why there's language in it such as "shall not be infringed" and "shall make no law".

And, yet, the Left has been infringing upon the 2nd Amendment (among others) for years and they never stop trying to infringe upon that right even more. So why can't the 1st Amendment be infringed upon, too?

When the Constitution was written, a free press was envisioned as one of the checks to government. The press was supposed to be a watchdog, keeping the government as honest as possible. I wonder if the Founders ever imagined that the press would eventually have a huge hand in enabling an ever-bigger government, the vast majority of whose acts are unconstitutional.

If the Left infringes upon our 2nd amendment rights, I say it's about time that we infringe upon the press' 1st amendment rights. After all, they're taking rights away from us, even though we've done nothing wrong. When you consider the damage that has been done by the traitorous scum in the "mainstream media", this would be the very least we could do to them. Hanging from light poles would be more fitting for a lot of them.

So my proposal is simple: If you're an organization that disseminates news, and you want to insist that you're unbiased, then you cheer for/attack both sides, Left and Right in approximate equal measure. You also hire an approximate number of "journalists" from both sides (since there really are no "moderates" in the game anymore, we can skip that part).

The alternative is to state your bias upfront or be shut down.

To those of us on the Right, it really wouldn't matter. Our news sources proudly state their bias. The only one who doesn't is Fox, but I doubt that they'd have a problem declaring themselves as being to the right.

But the Leftist press organizations always insist that they're not biased, no matter how obviously far left they are. They have to. If they were to come out and tell the people that they sought the destruction of this country, they'd be hung from the aforementioned light poles.

Yes, it sounds a lot like the "Fairness Doctrine", The difference is that, under the "Fairness Doctrine", left-wing news outlets were never penalized, no matter how much they rooted for the Communists of the world, while the few right-wing news outlets were scrutinized with a microscope. This would hold the Left to account as well.

Is it censorship? Yep. But if they can keep me from my basic, fundamental right of defending my life and my family's life, I don't see a problem in forcing them to actually just tell the truth about who they are. That would be pretty insignificant by comparison.

If "shall not be infringed" doesn't mean what it says, why should "shall make no law" mean what it says?

Democrats Explained

Coincidence that "about half" of voters vote Democrat? I think not.

"The study demonstrated that about half of individuals will come to believe a fictional event occurred if they are told about that event and then repeatedly imagine it happening. "

Read it. It really explains a lot about how Democrats can believe things that are, obviously, not true.

Dear Allstate

Sent today:

After being a customer for the past 15 years, I now see that my values don't align with yours. I would hate to impinge upon your integrity, so I will be getting quotes from other insurers who are smart enough not to stick their noses into politics.

You insure my house, my motorcycle and two vehicles. While it may not be a significant amount to you, I find it odd that you don't want to align yourself with people like me who actually give you money. Therefore, I won't force you to align yourself with me by taking my money. I may not have any business training, but it seems incredibly stupid to insult your customers.

I will be cancelling my accounts (91197xxxx, 90236xxxx, 90236xxxx) as soon as I get a decent quote. I will even gladly pay a bit more so as not to align myself with such a bigoted company.

Kellogg's and Allstate

100% of your daily allowance of bigotry. And, you're in bigoted hands with Allstate.

Just got back from the grocery store. Checked everything that I bought to make sure that it wasn't made by Kellog's. I'd miss the occasional Pop-tart, but the generic ones are just as good.

Go sign the petition to #Dumpkellogs.


I've been a customer of Allstate Insurance for 15 years. I never realized that they were stupid enough to hug the Leftist bullies.

Today, I sent them an e-mail telling them that I would be getting quotes from other insurance companies and would soon be dumping them. They insure my house, my motorcycle, my truck and my daughter's car. So, while losing my business may not be a big deal for them, it is a good chunk of money every month that some other company that is smart enough to ignore the Leftist bullies will now be getting. #DumpAllstate

I haven't shopped at Target since their idiotic policy of letting men into the same rest room that my daughter uses. Not a nickel to them. #DumpTarget

Who are these "businessmen" who think that they can somehow increase their bottom line by insulting a huge part of their customer base?

Post Election Thoughts

It's hilarious that the Leftist Democrats are shocked that the polls didn't foresee Trump winning.

If you call a candidate Hitler for 18 months straight, don't be surprised that people didn't admit to pollsters that they were going to vote for "Hitler".

***

It's wonderful that the sleazebags that gave hundreds-of-millions of dollars to the Clintons, expecting favors in return, are now going to get nothing!




***

It's amazing that everyone thinks that all of the nastiness is over now that the election is over.

Get ready for four years of shrieking, hysterical attacks on Trump by the Leftist Democrats.

***

Hillary Clinton will never be The President of the United States of America.

Typing that was almost better than sex.

***

I was never a big Trump fan, but I voted for him just so that I could see the ultimate prize ripped from the talons of the psychopathic, deplorable (heh), power-mad, horrible, disgusting human being known as Hillary.

The Schadenfreude of that was incredible.

***

If the Democrats were smart, which they're not, they'd use this opportunity to purge their party of the Clintons and their crime family. Exile them to Kansas for the damage that they've done to the Democrat brand for the past 30 years.

The Democrats won't do that, of course. Because these people who love calling everyone else "greedy", can still use the Clintons to raise money from the fools who still like them.

***

I'll be curious to see if Trump actually does try to prosecute her and the rest of The Family.

It would go a long way to restoring the idea of one set of laws for all people in this country.

***
Related to the above, I'm wondering if The Clintons will suddenly decide to relocate to another country without an extradition treaty with the United States.

There have been rumors that they transferred $1 billion to Qatar for unknown reasons, but I'm not sure how much stake I put into those reports.

Personally, I'd suggest that they go to Guyana and bring their cult followers with them. Free Kool-Aid for everyone!

***

Wisconsin has a voter ID requirement in place to prevent voter fraud. Wisconsin, against all expectations, went "red" for the first time in forever. Anyone else see a connection?

Progressives of a Different Stripe

A Progressive by any other name, would smell as foul.

And that is what the Muslim jihadis are: just another form of Progressive.

"Progress" to a knowing Progressive (i.e. not the rank-and-file "useful idiot" but the Progressive masters) means moving the world from impure Socialism to the Utopian ideal of Communism.

The Muslims are doing the same thing, except that they are trying to move the world from it's present impure state to the Utopian ideal of a world wide Caliphate.

There is a reason that Progressivism and Muslim radicalism go hand-in-hand and seem so similar: they are parallel movements, both of which are aiming for their version of "Utopia".

I sometimes wonder what will happen if they both get to a point close to attaining the Utopias that they're aiming for. They cooperate now, but they wold be forced to fight it out.

My bet would be on the Commies: 150 million dead within 100 years will be a hard body count to beat. The Muslim savages have an impressive body count themselves, but they're also inbred, low IQ throwback to the 8th century.

The best scenario would be to destroy both movements and live like civilized human beings.

Excommunicated

All of the hysteria and hatred over Britain leaving the European Union can be compared to the Protestants leaving the Catholic Church.

The European Union is the Left's largest, all-encompassing church. It is what they have dreamed of. It is their biggest step from Socialism to pure Communism. It is their vision of "progress".

And those heretics, the Brits, voted to leave.

The childish, furious statements of the Leftists vowing to punish Britain for their transgression are the threats of religious fanatics.

Why Leftists Are Who They Are

I've touched on this many times in the past, but it can't hurt to bring it together in one post.

Show me a picture of a person and tell me their name, and I can almost always tell you whether they're a Leftist or not.

Leftist are the people from school who were the misfits, the dorks, the geeks. Some of them were picked on, some of them just never had their existence acknowledged and spent every Saturday night in their bedrooms, alone. They were so traumatized by their societal ostracism that they became obsessive about it. They hated the "normal" and "popular" kids because they had what the Leftists wanted but could never have: friends and a real social life. Normal, friendly interaction with their peers and the fun that goes along with it.

So all you have to do to tell whether someone is likely a Lefty is to look a them and try to imagine them when they were kids. For example, imagine what this thing went through in school:


You won't be surprised to find that she is a "Social Justice Warrior"now that she's aged (NOT grown up).

Or this guy:


I guarantee you that he was one of those really unpleasant misfits that nobody wanted to be near. He was the one who went out of his way to annoy people and then resented them for not seeing his brilliance. And, with a name like "Kuntzman", you just know that he was tortured mercilessly for his entire school career. 

Because that's another part of it: people with names that can be easily made fun of seem to be Leftists much more often than not.

It doesn't always work. Hollywood Leftists are often good-looking people who were probably pretty popular in school. But many of them are gay, whether out or not, and most of them, coming from the "arts" community have had the "gays are special" and Leftist propaganda hammered into them from their first theater class in middle school.

However, for the most part my theory works to perfection. Fore the most part, those who become Leftists are the ones who were far outside of the mainstream as children.

It explains their obsession with "bullying'.

It explains their hatred of normal people.

It explains their hatred of the society in which they live.

They hated all of these things when they were children, and they have never, emotionally, gone beyond that stage.

The only difference now is that they have finally gotten out of school and have found other emotionally-stunted people to band together with. They finally found a social group and will do anything to not be cast out, ever again! And they have enough people who are just like them - people who control the media, education and entertainment information outlets - to have a great impact on society.

And they are out for revenge.

But That's Different!

For those Trump-humpers who claim that Trump donated money to Hillary and other Democrats because "that's just how the game is played", I have a question: Is it OK to help out those with whom you supposedly disagree for no other reason than money and power?

"Integrity", "morality", "principled"...those a just some of the words that I would not use to describe someone who would do such a thing.

The Real Damage of Obama

Most Conservatives believe that President Brobama's constant thwarting of the Constitution is a huge danger to this country, and they're right. It is a very real danger and his executive orders and constant bypassing of the Constitution and Congress are creating very lasting damage to this country.

However, I believe the far larger problem is this: all of the other politicians are watching him and saying, "Holy Shit! Look at what this guy is getting away with! And almost nobody cares! Hardly anyone even knows about what he's doing or even that it is fucking illegal! If we would have known this years ago, just think of what we could have done! We could have done almost anything and nobody would have done shit about it!"

In fact, I believe that that is exactly what happened to the Republican Party. Before 2008, the GOP elitists at least pretended to care about what the Conservative members of the party thought. Once Obonga showed them that they didn't have to care because the vast majority of people weren't really paying attention, they just let loose their inner Progressive and did whatever the Hell they wanted to. When the Conservatives raised a stink about it, they again took a page from Obama and attacked them in the press, making Conservatives out to be unenlightened knuckle-draggers

Most Conservative pundits decry the influence of lobbyists and big-money donors (e.g. the  US Chamber of Commerrce) but, while true, those groups have always been there. What's changed is that the GOP elitists have learned that they don't have to worry about anyone stopping their gravy train! It ain't gonna happen.

Unfortunately, when they smirk and sneer at the hicks in flyover country, they are mostly correct about those hicks. The vast majority of said hicks aren't going to actually do anything to stop them. And those that try, will be smeared in the press until they're silenced. The GOPe have learned well from their Democrat brethren and friends.

And, if that isn't bad enough, just imagine what Hillary or Bernie will do with that knowledge. Or what happens when the Democrats regain control of either wing of Congress. Or both. They have learned that there is nothing stopping them from implementing their complete Socialist agenda because almost nobody cares enough to stop them. In a country of 320 million people, there are, perhaps 20 million who care enough to even speak up. The numbers are on the politicians' side.

The people who are lamenting the accelerating downfall and imminent demise of this country don't seem to understand the real reason that it is happening so quickly now: Obama has shown the politicians that they have carte blanche and that no one is able to stop them because of the apathy of the vast majority of this country.

And that apathy was no accident. It has been instilled over decades. The GOPe should really thank their Democrat cronies for that. They are at least in the game of musical chairs that is going on, and have a pretty good chance of a seat when the music stops and this country finally collapses.

Skating Away

I agree with most of what Donald Trump says. It all sounds great! And I love the fact that he's poking the elitist establishment - both Democrat and Republican - through the bars of their cages with a sharp stick. Calling an MSM reporter a "sleaze" brought a grin to my face.

The problem is that I don't believe a word of what he's saying.

If he's elected, there will be no wall built. There will be some small efforts at stemming the tide of illegals that he will tout as "Yuge!" successes. Similarly, he'll make some small changes to our trade deals and that will be the end of that. He'll tinker around the edges of the tax code and call it "reform". Same with healthcare "reform" and getting rid of Obamacare.

You see, the fact that he hasn't actually held an office doesn't make him any less of a politician. And, like all politicians, he lies. A lot.

Hillary lies to get what she wants, to make herself look better and, mostly, to cover up her wrongdoing. And when caught, she lies about her lies. She is a pathological liar. She lies even when the truth wouldn't do her any harm.

Trump, on the other hand, is lying about who he is and what he will do if elected. He is lying the same way that an actor "lies": He's playing a part. The Part of "Hardass Conservative". Do you think that it's a coincidence that this guy, who has shown many, many Liberal tendencies in the past, is now saying everything that the people labeled "extreme right" (of which I am a proud member) want to hear? Everything.

It's like Trump spent a year studying Conservatives in the same way that an actor studies for a part. If a character like Trump were in a Hollywood movie, we Conservatives would roll our eyes and say, "There goes Hollywood and their Conservative stereotyping, again". Instead, millions of Conservatives, so desperate for a presidential candidate that isn't an establishment RINO, have willingly suspended their disbelief and embraced a guy who, until very recently, showed very few Conservative bona-fides.

I understand why it happened. I'm just saddened that so many of my fellow Conservatives would actually fall for this shtick. I figured that they were more grounded and able to see through a scam than Obama's supporters were in 2008. Because, other than the political ideology, it's the same play now that we saw back then.

When/if Trump gets to Washington, it will be like the scene in Braveheart where the Irish are on the battlefield, sprinting towards each other, screaming their scariest battle cries and then, suddenly, stop and embrace each other.

Trump will get to Washington and, suddenly, all of the rhetoric against the establishment will be forgotten. He will immediately begin making "great" "wonderful" deals with Ryan and McConnell and whomever the Democrats have in their leadership roles.

All of these cult-of-personality Trump fanatics who think that Trump will shake things up in DC are going to be extremely disappointed when he gets to Washington and does little or nothing about all of the issues that he's now using to whip them into a frenzy. Like every other politician.

I just wonder how they'll react. I'm hoping that these Conservatives are real enough to admit that they were wrong and not - like the Obamabots - ooh and ahh over the Emperor's wonderful fashion sense for his entire term.


Well, do you ever get the feeling
That the story's too damn real
And in the present tense?


Or that everybody's on the stage
And it seems like you're the only person
Sitting in the audience?

If You Really Want the Federal Government Rolled Back...

I keep hearing the Conservative talking heads lamenting that, since Republicans have control of the House of Representatives, they never use "the power of the purse" to stop any of the Leftists' power grabs by not funding their ridiculous programs.

It would be all well and good if the Republicans would stick their necks out a tiny bit to defund these things but, all in all it wouldn't amount to shit. Sure, they could stop a few things from being funded, but the Federal government would continue to grow and grow. The money would just be pissed away on other Leftist bullshit.

No, the only real way to stop this government is so simple that I rarely have heard anyone seriously propose it: Repeal the 16th Amendment!  Remove the income tax proceeds of every American from the Federal government, and it goes back to being what it was originally meant to be: small and almost inconsequential to the vast majority of Americans.

After your initial incredulousness wears off, think about it. Would it really be that hard to get 2/3 of the states onboard with this?

State-level politicians (especially the Leftists) are every bit as greedy and power hungry as their Washington counterparts. The promise of getting their hands on all of the money now being sent to Washington from their states would easily convince most of them to vote to end the Federal income tax. Sure, there would be die-hard big-government holdouts, but I really don't think that there would be that many of them.

Of course, the Statists in the MSM would shriek non-stop about children, women, lions, gorillas and old people dying in the streets, but even the low-information voters could be pretty easily subdued just by telling them that all of the "free shit" that they're currently getting from the Feds would just be administered by the state now. As long as they think that they'll still be getting their handouts, they'll quickly go back to watching Reality TV.

Even your average, uninformed Democrat voter wouldn't really have an argument against it. What could they say when it's made clear that they will still get the same services, only from the state instead of the Feds?

The middle class would be onboard as soon as you told them that, since we'd get rid of the inefficiency of sending money to Washington only to have it sent back to us, they'd be seeing a 10% tax cut.

There are some people out there that have been pushing for this, but they never seem to be taken seriously, and I don't understand why.

When the 16th Amendment was passed, the Soviet Union - the first real attempt at Socialism - was only a few years old, and Socialism wasn't yet seen as a bad thing. The world had no examples of the horrors that it would bring and, as is the case today, it all sounded like a really good idea - as long as you didn't factor in human nature or put too much thought into it.

Since then, we've seen 150 million people murdered at the hands of large, centralized governments, their people impoverished and sent to labor camps for the simple act of disagreeing with their government Lords.

And even in the not-quite-so-tyrannical American Federal government, people are disgusted by the waste, fraud, corruption and abuse of power emanating from Washington. Most of those people may not have a clue as to what to do about it, but they don't like it one bit.

And all of that could go away with no loss in the quality of their life. In fact, without the Feds regulating every tiny aspect of their lives, the quality of their lives would actually get better.

I think that it wold be an easy sell. I just don't understand why Conservatives aren't pushing this day in, day out, 24/7.

Would You Put It Past Her?

If I were Bill Clinton, I'd be sleeping with one eye open and watching my back at all times.

Can you imagine the "sympathy vote" that Hillary would gain if Bill were to suddenly drop dead sometime before November?

Hillary and Bill don't even like each other. They've just used each other to advance their political careers. And now that Bill has become something of a liability on the campaign trail, both because of his sexual peccadilloes past and present and because he seems to be a bumbling old fool now, Hillary may just think that the best way to use Bill one last time would be to use his "unexpected" death as a ploy to suck up the huge amounts of sympathy that would be forthcoming.

An added benefit would be that it would seem incredibly boorish to bring up his sexual harassment and rapey history once the guy is dead. The MSM would go into hyper-shaming mode against anyone who uttered a word about his past.

The woman is a psychopath, plain and simple. I can certainly see her doing something like this.

It's Not Getting Better

People under 40 can't distinguish disagreement from hate.

People under 30 can't distinguish disagreement from violence.

I don't hate Leftists. I find them disgusting, pathetic, childish little worms who are beneath contempt, but I don't hate them. What would be the point? It would be like hating sewage.

As far as violence goes, someone really needs to show these pussies what real violence looks like. And, yes, I am advocating kicking their pansy asses, because that's the problem: it's obvious that these sheltered little fools have never been exposed to real violence in their entire lives, or they wouldn't say such stupid things.

It would be for their own good, of course.

It's Time to Just Say "No"!

The Federal government keeps growing, and there is no end to that growth in sight.

There have been many ideas regarding how to stop that growth. Putting Republicans in charge was one of them. We saw how well that worked when we gave the House and the Senate to the corrupt leaders of the Republican Party. Abolishing various Federal departments was another suggestion. The EPA, the Department of Education, The IRS, among others. It sounds good, but even if it did happen - which it wouldn't because there are too many people making a living off of those departments - there are just too many bureaucrats in Washington to exterminate them all. There are over 700 (the government isn't even sure exactly how many there really are) Federal agencies and we'd be lucky to get rid of half of them...and that's not enough.

There is only one way to transmogrify the Leviathan that has become the Federal government back into the minnow that it once was, and was meant to be: The States need to stand up and quit letting the Federal government bribe them with their own money.

Take the latest example of the Left's ongoing destruction of our culture: Letting grown men into rest rooms with little girls. When states objected (most notably, North Carolina was to be made an example of), Washington immediately threatened to withhold Federal education funding.

Can anyone tell me what letting psychologically ill people - whether they be "transgendered" or pedophiles - into rest rooms with children has to do with education? Don't bother trying to tell me, because there is no link. It's just a convenient way for Leftists to get what they want without going through that pesky Legislative branch of the government.

Ironically, with the wimpy Republicans now infesting Congress, they probably could get it passed easily enough. But even that is too bothersome for those who believe that they were born to rule over the rest of us (speaking of psychological illness).

The solution really seems to be quite simple: The states need to make the Federal income tax completely voluntary in their states. Then raise their own income tax rate to match what would normally be sent by their citizens to the IRS, minus, say, 5 or 10%.

The states could fund their own programs and the citizens would get a nice tax cut. Win-win. And, those Leftists in the states could still voluntarily contribute to their beloved Federal government if they so chose.

I know what you're thinking: Because of the 16th Amendment, that would be illegal. What about the "Supremacy clause"?

To which I say, "So fucking what?" The Federal government is the only one that can ignore the Constitution? Maybe some payback is in order. Let's see how they like it if the states start using their own bullshit against them. If anything, the states have much more standing to ignore the Constitution than the Federal government does when it comes to illegitimate laws. Hell, the Federal government ignores legitimate laws countless times a day! The vast majority of what they do is unconstitutional!

And, really, what is the Federal government going to do? Send in the troops? That would be a violation of The Posse Comitatus Act. For the Federal Government to violate the Constitution to "uphold" the Constitution for no other reason than their insatiable greed would be incredibly bad optics. And would they really want to risk civil war over the issue? Because the first state to do this would definitely be joined by many others. This country is, obviously, headed for civil war in any case. Right now we're in the "cold war" version of it, but it will eventually turn hot if nothing changes.

So the Federal government would have to either militarily attack one of these united states, or acknowledge that they really don't have the power that they tell us they do and return to their Constitutionally mandated boundaries.*

Civil war seems inevitable at this point. I can't think of a better reason to get it started than whipping the Feds back into their Constitutionally mandated cage.


*As an aside, I've never figured out why people who are commanded by their "betters" to testify in front of Congress actually answer any of the Inquisitors' questions.

If I were, say, a baseball player being interrogated about steroid use, I'd just say, "I refuse to answer any of your questions until you show me, specifically, where the Constitution gives you any power to interrogate baseball players about their steroid use." And then just sit and smile at Harry Reid and Chuck Schumer, et al while they squirm as it dawns on them that there is nothing that they can do.

What would they do? Hold someone who is a national hero to many people in contempt and jail them? Do they even have the power to do so? And how long do you think they'd sit in jail before public humiliation forced them to release that person? I'd give it 24 hours, tops.

These scum only have illegitimate power when we acknowledge that illegitimate power. When we point out that that power doesn't exist, it disappears.

The Problem With "Climate Change"...

Isn't rising sea levels.

It's falling IQ levels.

Interesting Question

The Left believes that humans are really no different than animals.

How many male dogs, do you suppose, are trapped in a bitch's body?
