Overnight Open Thread (4-21-2015)
Of course, presidential lawlessness is a special case. Because the president controls not only the nation's law enforcement apparatus but also its military, it's pretty hard to call him to account. But what about the rest of us? If presidents can violate the law, why can't we?It would be a bad thing for the country if Americans started to ask that question.
...It's much better to live in a society in which the laws are just, and in which people follow them as much out of moral obligation as fear of consequences. But such a society requires a degree of self-discipline and self-restraint on the part of its members, and especially of its leaders. Does our political class possess these traits? If not, how long can we expect the rest of society to?
-- Instapundit in Obeying the Law Starts at the Top
Kurt Schlichter: Why Liberals May Regret Their New Rules
That photo is me about ten years ago, standing in the ruins of a land where people rejected the rule of law in favor of the rule of force. I think a lot about my year-long deployment to Kosovo these days. I think a lot about people today who, for short term political points, cavalierly disregard the rules, laws and norms that made America what it is. I think a lot about how liberals, especially those who boo God, should pray to Him that those rules, laws and norms are restored.
When you block all normal means of dissent, whether by ignoring the political will of you opponents or using the media to mock and abuse them, you build up the pressure. In 30+ years as an active conservative, I've never heard people so angry, so frustrated, so fed up. These emotions are supposed to be dissipated by normal political processes. But liberals are bottling them up. And they will blow. It's only a matter of how.Liberals need to understand the reality that rarely penetrates their bubble. Non-liberal Americans (it's more than just conservatives who are under the liberal establishment's heel) are the majority of this country. They hold power in many states and regions in unprecedented majorities. And these attacks focus on what they hold dearest - their religion, their families and their freedom.
What is the end game, liberals? Do you expect these people you despise to just take it? Do you think they'll just shrug their shoulders and say, "Well, I guess we better comply?" Do you even know any real Americans? Do you think you'll somehow be able to force them into obedience - for what is government power but force - after someone finally says "Enough?"
...And let's be blunt - these are the people with most of the guns and the training to use them. That's the reality of the rule of force. I've seen it - it's there behind me in that photo.
I'm not advocating violence - I am warning liberals that they are setting the conditions for violence.And that better worry them, for the coastal elites are uniquely unsuited to a world where force rules instead of law. The Serbs were, at least, a warrior people. The soft boys and girls who brought us helicopter parenting, "trigger warnings" and coffee cups with diversity slogans are not.
I know the endgame of discarding the rule of law for short-term advantage because I stood in its ruins. Liberals think this free society just sort of happened, that they can poke and tear at its fabric and things will just go on as before. But they won't. So at the end of the day, if you want a society governed by the rule of force, you better pray that you're on the side with the guns and those who know how to use them.
"I'm not here to answer your questions" says Reporter to Testy, Harfy State Dept. Spokesperson
One reporter asked Harf how the department could curb Iranian influence in the Middle East without directly engaging Iran."I agree with you that it's a challenge," Harf told the reporter, who replied, "I never said it was a challenge."
"You don't think it's a challenge?" Harf shot back.
"I'm not here to answer your questions, I'm here to try to get answers to mine," the reporter said, then asked his question very slowly.

Wars kill the young and idealistic.
Harsh Truth #2:
Wars are directed by the wiser, older, and less emotional men.
Harsh Truth #3:
The older men can ALWAYS have more children. Civilization won't stop if we end up wiping a generation and starting over.They don't get it. We don't have to put up with leftist, racist, genocidal youth - we're perfectly able to let them kill themselves and we will populate the barrens afterward.

Small Woodland Creatures: Friend or Foe?
6 of Ben Franklin's Greatest Hoaxes and Pranks
The first edition of Poor Richard's Almanack, published in 1733, established an ongoing prank on Titan Leeds, an astrologer, competing almanac publisher, and frenemy of Ben Franklin. Under the pseudonym Poor Richard Saunders, Franklin predicted Leeds's death and encouraged readers to stick around to see if his prognostication was right. The feud that followed sold a lot of pamphlets, benefiting both publishers.
The next year, the Almanack printed an obituary for the still living Leeds and reported that the man claiming to be him was an identity thief. When Leeds actually died in 1738, Saunders commended the imposter for ending the prank once and for all.
And this:
Franklin's last hurrah, just 25 days before his death in 1790, was to challenge slavery. In a letter to The Federal Gazette written under the name Historicus, Franklin related the fictional tale of Sidi Mehemet Ibrahim, an Algerian potentate who fought for the enslavement of Christians by Muslims in the late 1680s. The tyrant's inhumane pro-slavery arguments just so happened to echo those made by anti-abolitionist Congressman James Jackson of Georgia. Touché! Franklin didn't live to see slavery abolished, but we'd be kidding ourselves if we said he had nothing to do with it.

I'm seriously considering incorporating as a non-profit (I know, I know). Because the over-all goal is charitable, I don't have any debt and (due to John's life insurance) can live on savings for a decent while, both the CPA who prepared my taxes and my financial planner have strongly suggested at least looking into it.

That is because right now they are figuring out how best to triangulate off of you--and some are. You think they are going to be Spartacus, leading the slave revolt? Franklin, finally ticked off at his treatment at the hands of London's elite? Hardly. Most would not be able to make the transition--too many are in it for the power the current system can offer, not for a cause. For those that know the American Revolution---too many are going to be Thomas Hutchinson at the end of the day. They'll take the power the current system seems to offer, thank you very much.
But while tempers are ready enough, I still think there is a ways to go before anything like this becomes an issue. And I have no idea how it would start, and emphatically feel it is either a mass moment, or better none at all. And the people may roar out two or three more times via the vote, as they did the election last, and finally quell the problem. But the idea the GOP would be helping you if push really needed to come to shove? Right. They'd be the most worthless asset you had. The Scottish nobles from Braveheart, looking for what lands they could get from the King.

It's a little bit more slick than obvious takeovers of state powers.
They don't have to, and haven't had to for a while.
Block grants to states effectively carrot-and-stick bend the states to the Federal will.
So nationalize state/local police?
Perish the tea-party/reactionary/constitutional/antiquated thought.
State grants are all predicated upon a few teeny-tiny things that can be revoked at a moments notice, and bingo. We have compliance.
No muss, no fuss.
No conspiracy needed.

Older member of my Sunday School class (Retired AF Chief Master Sergeant) was selling off some of his collection. The Mini-14 is a generation 1 in perfect condition. Ran both .223 and 5.56 through it today and felt a noticeable difference with 5.56 a bit livelier. Both dead on the target.

I knew a civil war was inevitable the minute Obama was elected, for the simple reason that you can't have half of the population trying to ram Communism down the throats of the other half without violence breaking out at some point.
And by "civil war", I don't mean it in the sense of the 1860s, with opposing armies on the battlefield. That was an historical aberration.
A real civil war, as every other country in the world understands it, means neighbors killing neighbors.

2016 will be the real test. It's the Democrats who have the difficult challenge of holding the WH for three consecutive terms. If this country elects Hillary, who everyone, including LIV know is corrupt and a liar, well then, I fear this great nation will have passed the point of no return.

Of course I completely sympathize with everything Schlichter wrote, and I can't magically see the future, but .....
Given all the factors - history, culture, geography, inertia - I don't see any chance of significant violent conflict along political lines. And I doubt that the state's armed employees have within them much capacity to think and do big things - unionized time-servers and the dynamic they represent more than balance out the Americans in those ranks.
And present day offers not a scintilla of evidence that the nation as a whole just won't roll over and continue "taking it". The growth of state power (often illegitimate, unconstitutional, pernicious, and contrary to all previous American cultural norms) has seen essentially no interruption for 3 generations. The guard rails are gone. The judiciary is a rogue illegitimate authoritarian element of its own. No sign it will be reigned in. Elections (mostly) are irrelevant - a result of institutional rot and the degraded state of the political class.
See no chance of any change in trajectory.

Even a lot of libs are frankly on board with the "two Americas" concept. Jeffrey Wells of Hollywood Elsewhere, who pretty much hates conservatives and midwesterners, has embraced the idea at his blog. Even said he'd accept free travel for both populations across the border.
The tricky part, of course, would be setting the border, as the truth is that many states (including CA) are both deep red and deep blue in varying regions.

This means that the Saudis will be sending ground forces into Yemen soon.
Good. The Houthis are cut off and surrounded on every side. They have no means of resupply. The only way the Iranians can win here is if Saudi Arabia loses its nerve. I think that this United Arab Force might be a dry run for destroying Assad's air force (which will doom him) and possibly even a direct attack on Iran.

Re the peninsula, recall that Yemen's borders with the Kingdom haven't always been so, um, firm and clear, and the Saudis historically viewed Yemen as one that got away (along with the UAE, formerly the Trucial States, the "truce" involving British guarantees of sovereignty so that they weren't swallowed up in the Kingdom). And the tribal connections of course have always been extensive.
Interesting times in the region. Not sure the US will *ever* really be able to restore its credibility. Not just the jaw-dropping disastrous idiocy of the Iraq pull-out, the Cairo speech, the Syrian debacle, etc. There is no longer a serious electorate in the US. And a large segment of what hitherto made up the solid coalition for neccessary action overseas is now firmly rooted in cartoon fantasy land, where punitive strikes and other unserious actions are imagined adequate for shaping outcomes and protecting interests.

According to a reliable source -- my Mom -- the very first restaurant I ever ate in, at the age of about a month, was a Mexican restaurant called El Patio, on Atlantic Avenue in Long Beach. My Mom loved the place.
Years later (by the 1990s), I finally figured out why. It was a nice place... but by far, the blandest Mexican food I ever tasted. And it was getting its business taken away more and more by newer Mexican places, and even fast food joints, that were serving ever-newer, more exciting, "authentic," spicier fare.
It was downright sad when El Patio finally went away around 2006. Their own customer base actually and simply became too sophisticated for it.

About the Saudi army, I know little about their ground troops. I remember during the first Gulf War, that Arab troops were allowed first into Kuwait, even though American troops had done all the heavy lifting.
Again, and I'm only talking from what I've heard, young Saudi men get a stipend from the government due to oil money, many don't have to work all that hard to have a living. You may wind up with a force that all have an entitlement mentality that when shit gets real, they turn tail and run. I don't know. They are going up against a force that is already battle tested and is willing to die for the cause.
Sending the Saudi troops against Iranian backed troops may be a disaster for the Kingdom. Iranian troops are well trained and well tested.
Just my two cents.

why. It was a nice place... but by far, the blandest Mexican food I ever
tasted. And it was getting its business taken away more and more by
newer Mexican places, and even fast food joints, that were serving
ever-newer, more exciting, "authentic," spicier fare.
It was downright sad when El Patio finally went away around 2006.
Their own customer base actually and simply became too sophisticated for
it.
Posted by: qdpsteve at April 22, 2015 12:32 AM (elbY7)
And you know, the bland, non-spicy, stuff was probably more "authentic" in that it better represented what the average Mexican eats at home everyday.

The Medieval concept of the Seven Seas has its origins in Greece and Rome. In Medieval European literature, the Seven Seas referred to the following seas:
the Adriatic Sea,
the Mediterranean Sea, including its marginal seas, notably the Aegean Sea.
the Black Sea ,
the Caspian Sea,
the Persian Gulf ,
the Arabian Sea (which is part of the Indian Ocean),
the Red Sea, including the closed Dead Sea and the Sea of Galilee

Probably correct on that. Though my, admittedly hazy memory, is that they (generally speaking) didn't view them as different things, sort of... just bigger seas. I seem to recall the Indian counted, as it was part of relatively regular trade routes and whatnot. But, that might have been added later, as well and wasn't part of the more ancient group, which was pretty much restricted to the med and it's immediate surrounds?

Greek literature (which is where the phrase entered Western
literature), the Seven Seas were the Aegean, Adriatic, Mediterranean,
Black, Red, and Caspian seas, with the Persian Gulf thrown in as a
"sea."
In Medieval European literature, the phrase referred to the North

The Saudis get the bomb, then Jordan and the Egyptians will have to arm up as well. These are the least stable people in the world to have nuclear weapons.

It must be sitting on some godforsaken pole of some type, because it's the one city I've been to where my mental compass doesn't work.
I have a very good sense of direction and location. I can go to strange cities and drive around and always have a good idea of where I am compared to where I've been. A couple of years back we were in Florida and I said to my wife "Say....y'know, my grandparents used to live around here" - and I drove right to their house, where I hadn't been in decades, and never as an adult.
For some reason I lose all spatial awareness in Edmonton. I can't drive 3 blocks and not get lost, and it's WEIRD because the city is laid out simply, just look at it in a map. I dunno, that place is in a black hole man, a black hole.

Of course, along with everything else concerning names, it could be worse. Legend has it that a man traveled halfway across the country before alighting in a small midwestern town. Walking out of the train station he spied a shop window across the street which said in huge letters: "General Store", and in smaller letters, "A. Swindler, Proprietor".
He walked in and said, "your sign gave me a bit of a start -- I'm surprised you didn't use your full name." Mr. Swindler replied, "that would have been worse -- it's Adam."

There used to be an optometrist in the shopping center just down the road from me. The shingle he had hanging out front read "Dr. Doctor, Optometrist."
On a dare I told a buddy to open th door a sing the Robert Palmer song as loud as he could (I learned the hard way long before that day).
As soon as he opened the lobby door, the receptionist looked up at him and said "son, if you sing that GD song, I'm going to come out there and shove that skateboard up your ass!"

Difference is, the N. Saskatchewan river is at the bottom of a steep gulch in Edmonton, so it very much presents an obstacle to roads. Very little of the city is down on the river flood plain. The Bow, on the other hand, is in a gentle valley, and much of the city, and all the downtown core, is on the flood plain. And it seems, in Edmonton, wherever you are, you can't get on a bridge without a couple of sharp turns. In Calgary, the roads just cross the river on a bridge, no drama.

I had a bizarre reaction to Taipei. I went down to the concierge to get a tear-off-sheet map of the city, oriented off of it, marched off and got horribly lost....but managed to retrace things enough to get back to the hotel. Next day, went down, had breakfast, realized I'd left the map in the room, and got another from the concierge. Walked outside and started to orient.....and realized I had problems. Went back to the room and brought both maps to the concierge desk.

What has gotten into you? Isn't there something a wee bit more important going on?
Posted by: cthulhu at April 22, 2015 03:27 AM (T1005)
This is a very common question, and it’s a tough one to answer because we have no comprehensive, reliable baseline frequency data prior to the 1970s for comparison purposes. It is true that we are exposed to more forms of swearing since the inception of satellite radio, cable television, and the Internet, but that does not mean the average person is swearing more frequently. In our recent frequency count, a greater proportion of our data comes from women (the reduction of a once large gender difference). We interpret this finding as reflecting a greater proportion of women in public (e.g., many more women on college campuses) rather than a coarsening of women. Our forthcoming research also indicates that the most frequently recorded taboo words have remained fairly stable over the past 30 years. The Anglo-Saxon words we say are hundreds of years old, and most of the historically offensive sexual references are still at the top of the offensiveness list; they have not been dislodged by modern slang. Frequency data must be periodically collected to answer questions about trends in swearing over time.
Thus, our data do not indicate that our culture is getting “worse” with respect to swearing. When this question arises, we also frequently fail to acknowledge the impact of recently-enacted laws that penalize offensive language, such as sexual harassment and discrimination laws. Workplace surveillance of telephone and email conversations also curbs our use of taboo language.
