Clearly it was not known until later misdeeds came to light, but Republicans have regularly voted in to office people who were not virtuous, who, despite their sleeve-worn religion, were not the moral people John Adams referred to as suitable for the Constitution of the United States of America. And when those misdeeds become known, at all levels, rarely does anyone suffer and never do the faithful learn.

I am rereading Atlas Shrugged.
Despite some overwrought prose, Rand could really nail some of the commie bullshit. And this about the press: "The reporters who came to the press conference in the office of the John Galt Line were young men who had been trained to think that their job consisted of concealing from the world the nature of it's events. It was their daily duty to serve as audience for some public figure who made utterances about the public good, in phrases carefully chosen to convey no meaning."

Thanks for your excellent essay, AtC. It's good that you were able to instruct several people about what the Dobbs decisions meant, and, yes, they will have cognitive dissonance, and most will not examine their worldview. However, it might eventually get some thinking,"If I was lied to about this what else was I lied to about by the media?" If it can happen to me about 15 years ago it can happen to others.

a baseline worldview is that if the Republicans win, that can be ignored because it's not legitimate.
So here's the thing, I think the same thing about Democrat office holders because it's easy to observe. I'm not going to forget staying up to watch election returns only to have 7 states stop the count and tell us to go to bed, only to admit in the morning that they had counted all night, without adversarial observers, and what do you know, but Biden is ahead by just enough in each of them to avoid triggering automatic recounts. And no one is allowed to audit any of it. In my own shitty state of Illinois, we led the nation for a decade in people fleeing the state, yet when Pritzker ran in 2018, 400,000 more votes were cast in Chicago than any election in the previous decade and a half, and all went to him.

Only the tiniest fraction of them, or of any of us, would have spoken up against slavery or lifted a finger to free the slaves. Most of them—and us—would have gone along. Many would have supported the slave system and happily benefited from it. 3/ So I respond by saying that I will credit their claims if they can show evidence of the following: that in leading their lives today they have stood up for the rights of unpopular victims of injustice whose very humanity is denied, and where they have done so knowing: Posted by: vmom stabby stabby stabby stabby stabamillion at July 04, 2022 04:00 PM (/jQbM) 126

It's a good writeup. The first step to understanding why and how us millennials do the things that we do is to understand that we don't actually remember much of anything before 1998.
The second step is to understand that most of our understanding of the world was shaped by 24/7 'news' channels and the internet. The third step is to understand that we were, for the most part, spoiled children enjoying the benefits of the 1990s vacation from history (oh, how I love that term) who always got what we wanted and never had to shoulder much responsibility. The fourth step is to understand that the internet is deeply ingrained in our psyche and it strongly colors our perception of reality. On the internet, nobody knows you're a squirrel...or that you aren't a squirrel. I could come up with more steps, but...the fifth step is to understand that we're rather lazy and ADD-ish, and Lazy/ADD C++ is tired of writing steps and has some other things to take care of.

My dad, who would be 94 if he hadn't died 10 years ago, was jamming hostile radio stations during the Dominican Republic intervention. Years later he told us LBJ was an incompetent ditherer who obviously couldn't make up his mind which advisors to listen to. They'd jam the radios for an hour, then get orders from the White House to stop jamming, then be told to start jamming again an hour after that - back and forth, over and over. He figured the Joint Chiefs wanted the jamming to protect our troops, some civilian worried about 'world opinion' (possibly Robert McNamara) wanted no jamming - as if world opinion wouldn't have complained just as much about something else - and LBJ was the kind of idiot who followed the advice of whichever advisor had talked to him last.

Dissolution is actually the only answer that is possible to survive. The war between the states started the long march away from federalism toward central control - exactly opposite from what the Founders (most of them) intended. A multiple state solution of the parts without a war would make it less likely for foreign interference and ultimate control by that influencer.
Posted by: Indignacio Vindacatorem at July 04, 2022 04:12 PM (oWBc3) Convention of the states is another possibility that could reign in some of the worst excesses of the central planners. I give that about as much chance of success as dissolution. Posted by: Comrade flounder, wrecker, hoarder, saboteur at July 04, 2022 04:14 PM (nByzo) 184

They just won't do it. They desire control at large and obedience for the individual. That's why they so often eat their own when they stray. They wouldn't be content to have leftist "utopias" in CA and NY. TX, OK, FL, etc. must be made to conform.
It's a world-wide phenom!!! There were actually protests in Australia by Australians protesting the overturning of RvW in the US. Let that massage your cerebellum for a few minutes. Aussies whining about US policy that doesn't affect them in the least. And, wanting to do something about it.

Any reduction in births in the Covidian Age could well be a consequence of the industrial strength fearmongering and mass psychosis, just sayin'.

That is the mental barrier with which messaging that's not fully of the Left, let alone being of the Right, is up against.
No. The mental barrier is simply being impolite. Making a scene. The Left always makes the most stupid points, loudly, because the trick is being loud. The Right hates being impolite. You know what else is impolite ? Not forming a nice line on the way into the camps. And you watch, when those of the Right are marching in step through those gates, and somebody gets out of line and gums up the works, it won't be somebody of the Left that corrects them. It'll be somebody well and truly of the Right. Posted by: Once More With Feeling at July 04, 2022 04:32 PM (X3zUe) 278

Gotta' admit, never liked him in total early on. His politically incorrect NFL picks were great. But whenever on the spot, whenever he had a "W" or Rumsfeld or other such heavy hitter on, he'd throw softball after softball. Late in his career, when he finally got disillusioned with the GOP ?

Legally I think all abortion law is simply declaring some segment of the population an outlaw. No different than the old west when a person was declared an outlaw by a judge. The unborn have the same legal status as an outlaw in these circumstances so they are an outlaw.
It would be like a state saying everyone between the ages of 32 and 34 is now an outlaw. If somehow you survive your 34th then your legal status suddenly changes to not being an outlaw. But until then your legal status exists outside any protection of law. It's similar to the status of slaves in that the unborn can be considered property for purpose of calculating loss but possess no legal status for themselves. There does not exist any person that doesn't realize how abhorrent abortion is. Regardless of where they lie on the to murder or not they stood before the full light of truth before making their decision. Posted by: banana Dream at July 04, 2022 04:40 PM (0fVbu) 303

It's pretty damn simple - when is a person a person ? Is it at "conception" ? I don't even know how to define that - is the moment when I get to the happy place ? Is it at the moment my fastest swimmer gets to the stubborn membrane ? Most people, me included, will agree on somewhere after the morning after. So if the reluctant woman wants to take that morning after pill - that's fine with me and most like me. If she wants to do something at the point where the kid has a heartbeat and little limbs moving around ? That's a person - there better be a damn good compelling reason.

Posted by: Anti doesn't matter at July 04, 2022 03:45 PM In my opinion, we have been in a war with the American left since at least 2000. It has just been that only the American Left was fighting it. American conservatives refused until around 2016 to believe that the media and the Democrat Party and the American Left in general were not their political opponents, but their enemies in a 'cold' civil war they have been waging. People seem to think of a war only in terms of physical fighting, like the American Civil War. They throw around terms like "the culture war", but don't treat it as such. But whenever I see people say they expect some future civil war, the line from Pirates of the Caribbean comes to mind: "You best start believing in ghost stories, Miss Turner... you're in one." Conservatives best start believing in American civil war... because we've been in one for decades now. Only the Left is the only one who has been fighting it.

Sadly, even now after the Left has destroyed the economy with the Plandemic, destroyed the nation's healthcare industry with the Plandemic, destroyed a generation of children with the Plandemic policies, destroyed the nation's energy industry with "climate change" policies, rigged and stole a Presidential election and classified anyone who dares question the legitimacy of the election results as a "threat" and "insurrectionist", threw protesters in prison... even after all that, after antifa, after BLM, after "Jane's Revenge", after memory-holing every terrorist attack against conservatives... people still refuse to believe we're in a civil war.

Actually, conservatives value liberty/freedom over security/safety, whereas liberals value power.
Two things I hate the most, in the written language. A whole bunch of words before a "but" - because everything before that word was self serving bullshit. And leading a sentence with "actually". Because other than math or the physical sciences that can be supported to the Nth degree via math, nothing is objective. It's all subjective to varying degrees. "Actually" just means "my definition is the one true definition". So for your "actually" - wind back your definition of liberty / freedom to Conservatives support of the Patriot Act post 9/11.

The problem with abortion is that very, very few of those involved in it treat it as a legislative, policy, or rights thing. Instead, they treat it as a political-rhetoric thing to get the base worked up and voting/donating to the organization. It's two groups of religious nuts shouting slogans at each other. Normally you've got that happening on the edges to position the Overton window, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, but you also have the proverbial cooler heads that try to get something done. You just don't have that with abortion, it's all rhetoric all the time.

Eromoro, that was also true for our people pre martin Luther. In middle east we tried to put the Constitution before the reformation. Hijinks ensued.
We now understand, Some battles you just cant fight for others. Issue is waiting for them to do it themselves while their chaos spills over to us is also not sustainable. Step one is birth control in exchange for welfare in places with unstable populations. Specifically central/south America, middle east, and Africa.

There have been some on the right fighting all these years, despite repeatedly being told to sit down and shut up.
One example is J. C. Dobson and his ministry Focus on the Family. They were doing everything they could to equip and strengthen families against the evil onslaught and educating voters about what was going on behind the scenes and encouraging action. But they were icky Christians, so it doesn't count. Posted by: Emmie at July 04, 2022 04:59 PM Yep, I remember very clearly the 2004-2012 years, when social conservatives were told to shut up, that we can't fight the culture war, because that's too icky for the "moderates". Have to focus on the economy and focus on "electability" of candidates. Brilliant strategy... Posted by: Clyde Shelton at July 04, 2022 05:14 PM (Do5/p) 425

Yea, that's a lot better. Constitutional even.
It is, Jack. And the problem of the excesses of the Right will not crop up until after I'm dead - for variations of a healthy, extremely active, and stubborn fifty year old man. But, if we've seen anything - it's that no ideology can survive it's own success. They have to push, and push, until everyone just gets sick of them. No ideology self limits. There always has to be the next thing. Like abortion at conception. Or beer on Sunday. Optional prayer in school today turns into mandatory tomorrow. It's always something.

To be fair, the prominent 'religion' in the middle east does not allow freedom, much less civilization. It was silly of us to think so.
Posted by: Eromero at July 04, 2022 04:44 PM Yep, we lost that initiative in the Middle East as soon as Bush 43 stated that Islam was a religion of peace, cozied up to C.A.I.R. in the US and then agreed to keep Islam within the Afghanistan and Iraqi constitutions. I still believe in the message from this essay that we should have done in Afghanistan and Iraq what we did in Germany and Japan after WWII: banned Islamism from government as we banned NAZIism and Shintoism.

And yet, the Supreme Court just sent power back to the people. Funny, that. This entire country was built on an "ideology" of placing power in the hands of the people. It remains the most bold experiment in self rule in the history of the planet. Yes, political parties have warped the experiment and greedy, selfish assholes on both sides of the aisle have derailed the promise. But there are still good people, obviously, and it is our job as the actual rulers of this country to get rid of them and put people in office who will safeguard our God given rights and freedoms. Trump derailed the uniparty centralization of power and they hate him and us because of it. Not because he was wrong but because he was right. We will always have to fight these assholes, comes with the territory. But just claiming they will always win is cowardly. Fuck them. Happy 4th, Scogg. Try to enjoy it.

== Posted by: Archimedes at July 04, 2022 04:26 PM (/NCI4) I had the same thought. Further study is necessary. Posted by: Comrade flounder, wrecker, hoarder, saboteur at July 04, 2022 04:28 PM (nByzo) On these very pages there was a link to (US Army doctor?) who documented 2-3X increases in miscarriages if Jabbed after 20 weeks. Let us not forget the big increase of healthy, young, athletic males dropping dead from stroke and clots, ALL OF WHOM WERE JABBED AT LEAST TWICE. There is now documented proof that the MrNA shot contents migrate throughout the body, a significant portion of which make their way to the testicles and ovaries, and these products of anal sex thinks we need to jab 6 month old babies with this toxic shit that does not protect from the virus?!? The common themes are all the injured were vaxxed, those in "the club" are making big bank. The population is being decimated. The left is in full-throated support; and their is tremendous loss of innocent life. Sounds positively devilish. Posted by: Bonecrusher at July 04, 2022 05:27 PM (hrRsI) 439

I don't think he professes any faith. However he is firmly pro-life and .he thinks population explosion is a myth.
Posted by: kallisto at July 04, 2022 03:55 PM (dCxaZ) == The world's population is now shrinking, We won't hit 8 billion, let alone 10. China, Russia, Japan, SOuth Korea, Germany, Italy, a fair number of Eastern Europe are in population freefall. Musk notes correctly that the world is shrinking and that it is a bad thing. The left should agree, because the modern welfare state, upon which their full faith and dreams exist, needs ever larger populations to be successful. That scheme is now over. If anyone argues against this, suggest they do some investigative work that does not use any UN based sources. We are getting smaller, and we are moving into a world of less. The left is woefully ill-equipped to govern in this environment. Most of those political parties will disappear in the next 50 years. The next battle will be national populist parties vs our GOPe/NT contingent. Posted by: Black JEM at July 04, 2022 05:30 PM (xWZcb) 441

Dissolution is actually the only answer that is possible to survive. The war between the states started the long march away from federalism toward central control - exactly opposite from what the Founders (most of them) intended. A multiple state solution of the parts without a war would make it less likely for foreign interference and ultimate control by that influencer.

Read more, Jack. It was built on notions of self rule. Mostly spurred on by the locals not really liking the English running around impressing men, horses, and wagons to fight the French and Indians. Yet, in something that should tell us something about human nature, the guy that was knee deep in the impressing eventually got on Mt. Rushmore. Somewhere along the way, he made sure folks paid their tax on barter whiskey. I can go on and on. You are happy today, Jack, because the Supreme Court pleased you with a sweeping decision. Sometime soon, you'll tell us why the next not so pleasing decision is simply not based in law. But it'll be a decision that stands, with power behind it, all the same. Then you'll tell us how relief is inevitable. Posted by: Once More With Feeling at July 04, 2022 05:32 PM (X3zUe) 444
