Your Hill To Die On - [Niedermeyer's Dead Horse]
We kick off the official season for bullshit polling reports with the first official Dead Horse Poll: Hill to Die On Edition.
A couple of weeks ago, Y-Not put up a fun post which asked you to build your own FrankenPOTUS. It was an interesting read with everyone from the founding fathers to John Wayne making an appearance as those possessing the must-have qualities for leader of the free world. In lieu of an actual FrankenPOTUS, let's consider the those issues on which you absolutely will not compromise. What is your hill to die on? Let's establish, first, those issue on which you will not budge. Later we'll look at it from a different angle and ask about those issues on which you are willing to compromise. Note that a number of the issues are broken down into pro and con positions to allow for the diversity of readers here at the HQ. Happy voting!Comments

Get off this blog!

this is exactly why I expanded the poll from answers as vague as "Gun Control" because it could be the hill to die on from both perspectives.

So I really never knew either one.

Take abortion, I didn't vote for it but I'm not going to vote for a pro-abortion candidate. I might compromise if the result was the issue was returned to the states and the Feds got out of it.
Homosexual 'marriage' is similar but it is obvious the leave it to the states plan of the 90's failed.
Not much territory remains.

They're ALL essential issues and it was hard to choose.
I guess in the end I choose 2 of the most pressing problems:
Repeal Obamacare and protect the 2nd amendment. Then it was shrink the size/scope of the Fed.
In the end, I think all these issues are the hill to die on, since they are the cornerstones/principles of our entire movement - The Restoration of the Republic and the removal of the seditious tyrants who have hijacked the nation.

I can understand why a teenager would fall for the "I'm in love" talk. And it's awful that she would do so without any pushback (like the author did), especially considering what she's getting into.

Possible causes:
(1) The usual rule that there are 10 lurkers for every commenter.
(2) Trolls (MMFA and the like are paying a LOT of attention right about now, and a science fiction author, female, whose name escapes me right now had a really good post about how a lot of the "Republicans suck, don't vote, go third party" posts on right-wing sites are probably deliberate paid trolling operations.
(3) Laup Nor!

Look at every single issue on that list and tell me why ANY of them are even issues.
What you just realized is that You and Your republic are under constant attack by the Left. They made the Second Amwndment and Deficit Control *wedge* issues, for pizzas sake!
That's like your husband coming home and saying you know what, I'm removing all the locks from our doors because having locked doors just isn't right. And you know what else, dear, I want to triple mortgage our home and give away the money to strangers and invest in hairbrained schemes.

While most of the above issues are important to me, I don't have a "litmus test". I'll pick what I believe to be the best candidate from amongst the ones running.
Bluntly, most of the candidates lie or "evolve" in office anyway, so even if they hold a given position, that doesn't mean they'll keep it when the chips are down.

Thoughts and prayers.
They also kill the mentally ill, children (from babies to teenagers), and those who can't give affirmative assent. Heck, even if you have a living will that says you wish to live... and even if you declare that duress of pain or on painkillers should result in you being treated as non compos mentis with your living will being your stated will when in full control of your faculties... they'll still kill you.

No Spring Forward. No Fall Back.
Keep one clock (especially if it updates by itself) at the detestable day light savings setting. (it doesn't save a damn bit of daylight)
keep your other clocks as per usual. Make adjustments in your head for any important connections.
I did this last year and had no problems. I have 2 clocks beside the computer monitor (and any phone or handheld device) clock.
It was LIBERATING to not have to go around changing the fcuking clocks to satisfy some bureaucrats idea of a joke.
Day light savings time doesn't. In fact studies have shown that it causes more problems than it cures and is actually unhealthy.
NO Adjustment. No Time Piece.

It's not just about science. Imagine it:
A clever drunk has heard about the hydrophobic coating, so he remembers to turn at an angle before letting loose. Another drunk walks by at that moment, and the pee bounces off the wall like a super ball onto the newcomer's pants. Punching ensues. This is how wars in Europe start.

I am always amazed that we don't get upset by the fact that here in the US in the downtown areas of most cities, it's almost nigh impossible to find someplace to pee.
Who hasn't been caught out and had to beg (and get refused) the use of some restaurant or other place that has some facility) to use their john?
This should be a matter for public concern and paid for by the taxpayers. Yet it doesn't get done and since men are built to more easily pee at random we wind up with people pissing all over the place.
Other countries have some acknowledgement of the problem (the solutions aren't so great but at least they're trying) and understand that when you gotta go, you gotta go.

The answer to why that has not happened is a study in what is wrong with modern Government, why it endlessly consumes more money and delivers less and less each year.

Debt reduction, bankrupt, we don't have a country.
Repeal ACA, with it we don't have an economy. Without an economy, we don't have a country.
Right to self defense, bear arms. Without it we're helpless.
Shrink the size, and reach, of the Federal Government. Who wants to live in a police state.
A simplified tax system would help get the economy moving again. No more special favors for special people.
State's Rights? Are you serious? You want to let the states decide which laws they will uphold and which ones they will ignore? If you are going that route, just disband the Federal Government entirely. Save a lot of money.

Actually, truth be told, the same thing went on before this.
Only the hospitals had some measure of flexibility because they could equalize their outlays on the poor and old on those who had more money. But the same decisions were being made. Just that now they're being done by a Gov't bureaucrat and because of budgetary limitations whereas before it was some MBA balancing profit v loss equations.
Going back far enough, the poor always did die of the mundane because they couldn't afford the help needed.
We've had governmental interference in the normal death rate vis a vis one's income for a long time. Originally it was paid for by donations from the rich, then the government got involved and codified who, what, where and how much but the hospitals/caregivers still had some flexibility. Now there is none and no one who cares.

The Federal Government should never have any role in healthcare, insurance, or entitlements of any kind.
YOU provide for you. Not Uncle Sugar. Not me. Shit happens? Stuff is expensive? Sometimes you have to go without necessary things? Yup. That's life. I should not have to go without things I need or want to provide for you because you voted to take possession of my stuff. You want my help? ASK for it. That's called charity and I'd be happy to help you if you didn't already vote to take more than half of my money.

Number 2 France: Pain in Western civilizations ass since Napoleon.
Number 3 North Korea: How the Fcuk would they know the difference if we nuked them or not?
Number 4 Mexico: Those bastards have the money they just discriminate against their own people and refuse to educate them.
Number 5 Chicago: Shit hole of the Midwest. Nothing good ever came from Chicago.

Me too. Mine was petty and personal. Walker promised to kill the no-smoking ban in bars and restaurants, and send the choice back to the localities. The tavern league of Wisconsin, like any good Guild, lobbied to keep the ban because they didn't want to face competition, or even the uncertainty of making a poor decision.
Walker acquiesced, and made me mad. (foot-stomp)

We have rights because God endowed us with them when He created us in His image. Though a better term would be 'prerogatives'. What they are can be determined by a reading of His commandments and observation of His Creation.
Absent that, there is no basis for 'rights', including property rights beyond the plausible threat of force to defend them.

Lot of Presidents are/were lefties. More than the odds would seem to indicate. Have no clue what that means though. good or bad.
I'm always in awe that they essentially write upside down and backwards.
Still they're the spawn of Satan. One step below a ginger.

So by this logic every Black in the country should
get on their knees and praise God that their relatives sold them into
slavery, or they would still be back in Africa getting Ebloa.

I don't care what the context was for this comment. It is not worthy of this blog.
In 1740, a novel was published in England called "Pamela; or Virtue Rewarded". As Wikipedia notes: "It tells the story of a beautiful 15-year-old maidservant named Pamela
Andrews, whose country landowner master, Mr. B, makes unwanted advances
towards her after the death of his mother. After attempting
unsuccessfully to seduce and rape her, her virtue is eventually rewarded
when he sincerely proposes an equitable marriage to her. In the novel's
second part, Pamela marries Mr B and tries to acclimatise to
upper-class society. The story, a best-seller of its time, was very
widely read but was also criticized for its perceived licentiousness." -- http://tinyurl.com/mrx86g7 -- but enough about that, I've never read it.
What I have read were two.....well, we can call them parodies....written by the Marquis de Sade in 1791 ["Justine; or, The Misfortunes of Virtue" -- http://tinyurl.com/qbv9avw ] and 1801 ["Juliette, or Vice Amply Rewarded" -- http://tinyurl.com/o8hu4a ].
The fact is that slavery's manifold evils are well-known and understood. But, like the happy amoral nymphomaniac murderer Juliette, that doesn't put it "beyond mention" or even beyond parody. If I were to suggest that someone's line of reasoning made it seem like they were advocating "to enjoy oneself at no matter whose expense", it wouldn't be because I were an enthusiastic supporter.

RE the casino. I was gaming out the scenario with a friend and we came to the conclusion that he should say no. Not that I thought it was a bad idea, but the timing sucks politically, and you can always say yes later*, and the rule of never taking a first offer in a negotiation.
Then, Hard Rock came back with 200mil in sweeteners for the NBA mansion, and I thought, this is vindication for saying no the first time, he'll look like a negotiating genius if he says yes now.
But he didn't and now I'm a little confused, other than Iowa political considerations.
*Say no to building or bonding for anything, and those in favor won't relent. Say yes once and you're on the hook. Kinda like sex.

One part of that story that never gets told is that the card he was reading from (given to him, by the teacher) had it spelled "potatoe".

He created us in His image. Though a better term would be
'prerogatives'. What they are can be determined by a reading of His
commandments and observation of His Creation.
Absent that, there is no basis for 'rights', including property rights beyond the plausible threat of force to defend them.
