the only thing that keeps the progressive liberal meme going are young people.
Idealistic and totally clueless due to lack of time on the planet they latch on to these really cool ideas that seem to be the answer for everything and that their parents poo poo or outright hate. Then they go to High School and then College and get told that they absolutely are the cutting edge of good think and that they can be the first to bring the world into a heaven on Earth. And they've managed to obfuscate or outright eliminate the History that could tell them otherwise. That's why we have a Democrat for President about every generation or so. Just enough time for all the previous destruction wreaked by the last one that no one realizes how good they have it. I've gone through 4 now and it's been really a pain in the ass because they struck just when I was in the hole and made it so much harder to climb out. (although Clinton wasn't quite so bad because the GOP surprisingly kept a tight rein on his ass. Posted by: Bitter Clinger and All That at October 09, 2015 07:06 AM (Xo1Rt) 22

I'm always interested in what kind of new circumlocution politicians come up with to make it sound like they aren't interested in an office, while still leaving the door open. In Ryan's case, it was the old "I'm not a candidate" dodge. Yes, we get that, but what you didn't say was that you wouldn't accept a draft.

Dylan Thomas really is a far left prog nut case. I was reading some of his Twitter feed and obviously thinks himself an intellectual, as do his fellow propagandists. Worst insane tweet was his wondering why discussion of immigration is focused on what is good or the US. Shouldn't it include all mankind? If open borders benefits poor Africans more than it hurts American citizens it is a net plus. Being so centered on what is good for us is selfish and nativist.

I voted for McGovern.
Hey. I was living in a communal house on the edge of the Yale campus in New Haven. It was infested with Yalies and a few other denizens of some local colleges. It rubbed off on me. They kept me around cause I was older and new how to do practical stuff around the house. When I tried to become the Secretary (it was formed as a corporation) they stuffed the ballot box against because they knew I was going to make people start paying their membership fees. Scratch a Liberal :: find a Fascist Dictator. (and a mooch). Taught me a very important lesson though. They don't want to change the system. They want to be in charge.

Apparently lots of people from the Oregon town whose college got shot up don't want Obama to pay a visit. They think he'll be standing on graves of loved ones to make political points-which of course he will -before he goes golfing on the West Coarst-even though he's supposed to be meeting with families privately. Obama is a both tone deaf and autocratic. If people don't want you there maybe you shouldn't show up-unless you're the King and you do what you want-no matter what the citizens say,

In fact I think some of them are even more delusional.They are all Bernie supporters and quite sure this time it will be different.

Not that it matters, but where are the editors?
Huffington Post is running an article complaining about mistakes in a McGraw Hill textbook saying millions of slaves brought to the southern United States were "workers". There apparently is some sensitivity about the term "worker" . The big mistake here is that from the 1500's to the late 1800s, only 300,000 to 450,000 slaves were brought to the U.S. All the best sources agree on this range. McGraw Hill not only has to write this inaccurate stuff, they go through a period of review where educators have a chance to submit changes and corrections. No one caught this. If anyone is set up to comment at Huff Post, it would be nice to let them in on some facts. Posted by: jwest at October 09, 2015 07:26 AM (Zs4uk) 54

I know ESPN is left-wing but I accidentally ventured onto ESPN-W which I guess is basically sports gossip, Bruce Jenner updates, and WNBA. Lets just say the SJW-ing is strong there and I can see why they kind of make ESPN-W its own separate site for left-wing female sports fans - who I doubt even watch any sports. Apparently their are no female sports writers employed by ESPN who actually give a shit about sports but then again there are also no black writers there who give a shit about sports; all the women and blacks at ESPN write about are social justice grievances; some of the articles could actually have been written at the HuffPo or Salon and I wouldn't even notice the difference except these happen to be sports related. I guess its just ESPN filling its women and minority employee quotas?

The Worldly Saints is a pretty good book about what the Puritans really believed, and debunks a lot of the mythology that has emerged from the 19th century onward.

hooking up with some young progressive chicks so this helps keep them in line. Some of the older female progs undoubtedly suffer from the same delusion. Posted by: George Orwell de Leon at October 09, 2015 07:43 AM (1BQGO) Precisely. I recall during the NY Occupy run, their website added a Circle of Elders group or some such. Basically one old graybearded hippie setting himself up to be the wise sage council to pass on his wisdom over all matters brought before the hands-twinkling meetings. And to score with the young chicks. He was basically ignored. No followers, no power base. Posted by: Count de Monet at October 09, 2015 07:51 AM (JO9+V) 100

@76 Oh, now I'm confused. There is a prestigious poetry journal from Canada called The Puritan. And, of course, there was the 1992 Puritan pornography case. One just wonders which one was like way too much by a master Moron. Hmm?
Another mangled term is "Victorian." Anyone who spends time with the real Victorians knows that, despite their careful phrasings, they could do things no gentleman would in a way only a gentleman can. But then there is your "American Victorianism," a different creature entirely. I think "Puritan" is like that. Easy epithet, but has not much to do with the actual people. Lyrics to Onward, Christian were by Sabine Baring-Gould (that's a man, baby), who among many other things was the leading authority on...werewolves. Huh.

I hope Ace addresses Trey Gowdy's letter to Cummings.

>>CADDO PARISH, LA (KSLA) - The Caddo Parish Commission voted Monday to kill a proposed ordinance banning the shooting of a certain guns within a mile of a subdivision. >>Concerned residents packed the commission chambers and several stood up to speak against the proposed ordinance. "Hunters are a very vocal group, as well as gun owners, anytime they feel people are coming close to infringing upon their second amendment rights, they get involved," said Rob Broussard, who opposed the proposed ordinance. >>Only one person spoke in favor of it, explaining the issue is a neighborhood problem.

I agree with Bob Evans management.
We have a factory in Hillsdale county. If one of my employees flew the Confederate flag from his truck in my parking lot, I would tell him to either put it away or be fired. Because I don't need the shit. He can have all the free speech he wants when he's off work and off of my property. But when he's on the clock, on my land, he'll do whatever the fuck I tell him to do. There shouldn't even be any controversy over this. Posted by: jwest at October 09, 2015 08:56 AM (Zs4uk) 201

White House officials drafted the proposal in late 2013 to apply to those dealers who sell at least 50 guns annually, after Congress had rejected legislation that would have expanded background checks more broadly to private sellers.
Congress considered and rejected a numeric limit on sales separating private party sales from dealers. It's now based on whether gun sales are your primary income source. Posted by: Grump928(c) at October 09, 2015 09:02 AM (evdj2) 211

Lynne Stewart, terrorist lawyer, is still alive and kicking. She was granted compassionate release bc she claimed that she was dying. The feds are very generous and grant it if the prisoner has less than 18 months to live. Her 18 months were over July 1. During that time she was appearing at rallies and shit. She now says that she is in remission. What a scam!
Texas is not so gullible. Max Soffar shot 4 kids in the head. 1 survived. A year ago last April, he had only days to live. Then it was weeks, then months. So, after a year and a half he's still alive. For some reason the groupies thought the gov could go against the law ad grant him release. Not on a capital case. So, the they wanted his convictions reduced to life with parole and that he be granted parole. What a house of cards! I doubt that is legal either. Regardless, tdcj said he was not eligible to even apply for a reduction in sentence. Posted by: Bruce With a Wang! at October 09, 2015 09:09 AM (iQIUe) 226

Southern Oregon is abuzz with chatter about an armed protest scheduled to take place in Roseburg just over a week after a crazed gunman opened fire on the local community college, Umpqua Community College, leaving ten dead, including the shooter.
While many small towns might be thrilled to have the president make a special appearance in their community, many Roseburg residents are seething about Obama's scheduled arrival on Friday after President Obama so gruesomely sought to exploit the community's grief just hours after the last gunshot rang-out on the community college's campus.

I'm glad the SoH race has imploded, but not for the reasons the MFM will cite. Maybe the cumulative effect of Boner's never-ending weakness is catching up to the GOPe. I can only hope. Heh, someone suggested Mike Rowe as SoH, saying it was the only dirty job he hasn't done yet. Posted by: BackwardsBoy at October 09, 2015 09:36 AM (LUgeY) 277

>>For those unfamiliar, it's as dumb as you're imagining. The government should pay people money a set amount each year just to live.
Uh, so what is welfare, food stamps, WIC, obamaphones, etc. for? Will the living wage *replace* all of these (supposedly) supplemental entitlement? Ha ha ha ha....right. Posted by: Lizzy at October 09, 2015 09:37 AM (NOIQH) 279
Wasn't that one of the earliest episodes, when they at least pretended to be in the 1950s? Yeah, they were still on film then. On Dear Gwynnie, how many people would NOT see Iron Man 4 if Pepper Potts was not in it? Round about 0. She's more than adequately paid.

I've been reading the Leviathan sci-fi series, and in it, the Earth has a universal living wage called "basic".
The thing about basic though, is they don't pay for anything else. No more schools or anything else. If you want to move up in the world, you have to work some menial job and be off basic for a couple years before they'll even look spending any social money on you. Overall, I think it's be a net positive. Of course, I've always felt that way: if the rest of the safety net was abolished and you just had that wage, it's be a net win for the taxpayers. Which would never happen, of course, it'd just be a raise. Posted by: Chupacabra at October 09, 2015 09:38 AM (+hPIb) 281
I still think Raul Labrador would make a dandy Speaker of the House.

I'm not looking for perfection, MH, just if you wanted to double check, it'd be better than just nothing.
However, like I said, the first thing that would happen is it would be made mandatory, which I'm not okay with. Posted by: Chupacabra at October 09, 2015 09:41 AM (+hPIb) 288
As a substitute/replacement for the welfare state, I'm not against the Universal Living Wage conceptually. I just don't think it would actually work that way.
With one-third of jobs disappearing to robots and automation over the next 20 years, it is time to start rethinking how the economy works. Posted by: V the K at October 09, 2015 09:41 AM (c/Ipt) Posted by: Pappy O'Daniel at October 09, 2015 09:42 AM (oVJmc) 290

As far as Rowe goes, I think his morals prevent him from becoming a politician. There are dirty jobs and there are damnation worth dirty jobs.

Annually, I write my Senators and representatives to ask them to amend the NFA and the GCA to do two things: remove suppressors from the NFA regime because it's ridiculous, and to reopen the machine gun registry to new weapons. The limited supply of pre '86 weapons makes them so expensive it is a defacto prohibition.
Every year they thank me for my interest and do nothing. Posted by: Grump928(c) at October 09, 2015 09:43 AM (evdj2) 293
Love the idea of Newt returning as Speaker. He says he's up for it.
That is assuming we get the old, wily as a fox and twice as smart, willing and able to take on and trash libtard idea with gusto, passing conservative legislation Newt. Not fly-to-the-moon-on-gossamer-wings, sit on the bench with Nancy Pelosi, undisciplined wild hair up the ass Newt. Always a crapshoot with that one. Still, he's better than anyone we're liable to get. Posted by: naturalfake at October 09, 2015 09:44 AM (KUa85) 294

"Uh, so what is welfare, food stamps, WIC, obamaphones, etc. for?
Will the living wage *replace* all of these (supposedly) supplemental entitlement?" That's the first argument they use, yes. That if we replaced all that with such a thing that we'd be saving money. But if you actually try to have the discussion and ask about what happens for things like extreme medical bills, natural disasters or price spikes on goods needed to live, the scope quickly increases to also include universal healthcare, price controls and every other lefty wishlist item.

If this one were passed, next would come registration imho. I'm a pretty good law abiding citizen. Pay my taxes, reported cash as income, obey fishing & hunting regs. Raised my kids to believe in God, The Golden Rule & The Flag. But, I'll be damned and jailed if they want me to register my guns.

With robots replacing many jobs in the future, this will come up again, no doubt.

I'm hoping Matt Yglesias, Truth Teller, will become the HQ's go-to lefty political essayist. He's worth every damn cent Ace pays him. Starting my day off with a shocked realization he just called Hillary a Stalinist, and means it as complimentary, has led me to a whole new level of appreciation for the guy. There's more to him than just stupid!
Posted by: MTF --- He might be a gushing, sycophantic FUPA licking toady now, but if Hillary ever gets into power, he'll end up in Mexico with an ice pick stuck in his head. Posted by: Caitlyn Jenner at October 09, 2015 10:11 AM (oZxN4) 306
Just saw the comment on the Newt link.
After his first year in office, Gingrich and Boehner's tenures were indistinguishable except that Newt embarrassed us even more. Newt puts on a good show. But anybody who wants him back was not paying attention to him as Speaker in the 90s. Anybody who wants that guy back as our leader should never comment on Republicans in Congress again. Posted by: AD at October 09, 2015 10:17 AM (4inoK) 307
Has it ever been more obvious then now that there's a serious lack of leadership in the GOP?
Apparently the weeping Boehner was the best thing they've got going. Posted by: Fritz at October 09, 2015 10:24 AM (UzPAd) 308

You need to flesh this statement out more. I have good memories of Newt as Speaker. Detail your complaints if you will so we may weigh them. Posted by: Grump928(c) wonders why you didn't come to him like a fucking man at October 09, 2015 11:15 AM (evdj2) 309
il your complaints if you will so we may weigh them.
Tom Coburn did it better than I could. Read this and get back to me on your opinion of Gingrich. http://tinyurl.com/ocxacpm But, off the top of my head, we caved on the 95 shutdown just when polls were going our way. We caved in an abortive later attempt. After trying to pass a little bit of it, we abandoned the Contract with America. And federal spending increased. This man has a track record. And it's a track record of having a large majority and doing little with it. We got Welfare Reform. Yay. Yes, I blame the Senate and Bill Clinton too, but that distinguishes the 90s from right now not an inch. Posted by: AD at October 09, 2015 12:13 PM (4inoK) Processing 0.03, elapsed 0.0382 seconds. |
