The Closing of the American Mind

There are dangerous signs that the U.S. is turning its back on the principles of a free and open society that fostered the nation's rise.

http://www.wsj.com/articles/the-closing-of-the-american-mind-1469141624

Despite our enormous potential for further progress, a clear majority of Americans see a darker future. Some 56% believe their children's lives will be worse off than their own, according to a January CNN poll. A Rasmussen poll released the following month found that 46% believe America's best days are behind it. Little more than a third believe better days lie ahead.

I empathize with this fear. The U.S. is already far down the path to becoming a less open and free society, and the current cultural and political atmosphere threatens to make the situation worse: Growing attacks on free speech and free association, hostile rhetoric toward immigrants, fear that global trade impoverishes rather than enriches, demands that innovators in cutting-edge industries first seek government permission.

it goes on and on as to why the future is dark and bleak, and why people are angry.

wow

He never mentions anyone, but this is a Trump stamp.

7 >>Why exactly did Midiot Benjamin protest an anti-neocon nominee who was against the Iraq War (unlike Hitlery)

Medea Benjamin has partnered with the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas - she is anti-American, and therefore hates any America-loving candidate, especially someone like Trump, who will not be PC when speaking about Islamic terrorism, musim refugees.

Not ant-war, anti-America.

Oh, I know. We already have something like 12,000 tariffs on all sorts of goods.

We really should have actual free trade; if we did, our economy, as utterly damaged as it is, would still kick the ass of every other country out there. And if we ever eviscerated the regulatory state, watch out.

But, the Leviathan will crush us.

I thought two lines were quippable:

"America is a nation of believers, dreamers, and strivers that is being led by a group of censors, critics, and cynics."

Its also good for consumers, particularly the poorer ones that can't afford to pay the prices associated with domestic goods. And while you might argue that with trade restrictions wages will go up too, I observe that when wages go up the demand for whatever work they are doing falls.

64 Russian warplanes reportedly bombed a secret military base in Syria used by elite American and British forces last month.

The Wall Street Journal reported Thursday that the Russian strike on the CIA-linked site was part of a campaign by Russia to pressure the White House to agree to closer cooperation in the Syrian skies, U.S. military and intelligence officials said.

Despite the fact that some forces could have been killed and the bombing dampened relations between Russia and the Pentagon and CIA, the White House and State Department still persued a compromise.

71 The Closing of the American Mind

There are dangerous signs that the U.S. is turning its back on the principles of a free and open society that fostered the nation's rise.
________________________

The Koches have always wanted open borders.

As a famous economist once pointed out, you can have open borders or you can have a giant welfare state, but you can't have both. Not for long anyway.

The "free and open society" that fostered America's greatness was destroyed by the Dims' (with a lot of Republican assistance) creation of the giant welfare state.

We now have over 80 different welfare programs at the federal level, and we are spending hundreds of billions of dollars (that we don't have) every year on these programs. And millions of immigrants and illegal aliens are on multiple welfare rolls, with many more wanting to come and get "their share."

When the giant Ponzi scheme that is the federal government (and the Federal Reserve) finally crashes, maybe then we can talk about restoring America to what it once was. Or maybe not. More likely we'll just devolve into warring tribes, fighting over the scraps.

It was dark because he was giving a more realistic description of Obama's America after 7 years of his incompetence, the turd the MSM has been shining for him this whole time. It was refreshing to hear someone sees it as a lot of us have seen it instead of the opposite day/funhouse mirror version that is presented to us by the Left/MSM.

Besides, Obama won the "low information" voters in 2008 and 2012, so why can't Hillary ? Even Ted Kennedy, after just leaving Mary Jo Kopechne to drown, could have beaten Trump.

128 I listened to Trump's entire speech starting at 6:00 a.m. this morning It was long but it was good, but he made of a lot of promises. I hope he can keep some of them if elected. Donald needs to be tied to a teleprompter. He's less erratic and off the cuff that way. Still uses his hands-and particularly his right one-which has a life of its own-too much. He should pay me or J.J. Sefton UUUUGE bucks to assist him in this public speaking skills, but I think I need the money a little more than Sefton right now. ;^)

However, i do believe Trump does love America and wants to fix some things that are broken. He wasn't my first, second.....fifth choice, but no way I'm voting for crooked Hillary

I've heard that same speech too many times to believe it now.

Speechifiying isn't going to be enough, and if Trump actually tries to do any of it there will be war. So he'll negotiate a better deal and the new progressive party will whittle away at Trump's long list of bullet points, until there is nothing left.

Even weirder, there's a Prog meme going around that making the "OK" sign with your thumb and finger is a sooper seekrit "alt-right racist gang sign."

For realz. Of course you can guess how easy it is to find pictures of Trump and various righties making the OK sign, which just plain proves it, but of course.

(breaks into song)

Early each day to the steps of St. Paul's
The little old Indy voter comes
To his own special place to the people he calls
How should I vote, I'm so dumb.

Feel the Bern? Trump/Pence? A hag?
Trump/Pence, Trump/Pence, Trump/Pence, a hag?
Feel the Bern? Trump/Pence? A hag?

Trump laid out his case in a very straightforward manner. He doesn't speak like a politician, because he isn't one. Hopefully that the message that resonates. Let's see what happens.

My job can't be exported, but if you expect me to live on my current salary and pay prices for us-made stuff all the time then I'll starve. If wages in my industry go up, then the demand for my labor will decrease ('cause now the customers have to pay more not just for me but for everything else, ergo less income for nice stuff like that new backsplash...)

To anyone saying it was too long, I offer it was long as another contrast against preparation H. There is no way she would be able to speak that long without shrieking, cackling, coughing, dog-barking, or flat out passing out from the effort.

Trump placed another marker, without actually saying that H is too old and decrepit for the office, in addition to the other indictments.

A: Donald Trump and everyone around him knew Ted Cruz was not going to endorse him days, if not weeks in advance>

B: They read the full text of his speech well in advance.

C: As the speech was winding down, there were prompters in the audience, specifically at the NY delegation whipping the crowd to start booing.

D: At that precise moment, Donald Trump just happened to walk out on stage.

E: Ted Cruz was not invited to speak; he had the right to speak at the convention by way of having 500 delegates.

F: If Cruz wanted, he could have put his name in for nomination and chose not to.

G: On March 29th, Donald Trump in an interview with Anderson Cooper said plainly and unequivocally that he does not want or expect an endorsement from Ted, nor does it matter. He also stated he would not abide by the so-called "pledge" either.

H: Several of the other major candidates to my knowledge have also yet to endorse Mr. Trump either.

I: The whole thing was orchestrated to destroy not only Mr. Cruz personally, but the conservative movement within the party, which he is ostensibly the leader. Mr. Trump's entire campaign is now run by a full cadre of Establishment insiders, mostly made up of Dole allies, Paul Manafort being the most notable.

This whole episode was a set-up. The faux outrage by people in the media is revolting, and people who have fallen for it, sad to say, are being duped.

J.J., there isn't much we can do about it at this point. Trump is the guy. Some things do alarm me about the guy, but everything alarms me about Hillary. As in 4-alarm fire. It does no good to rail on because for better or worse, it's either him or Hillary. What he said regarding trade, etc., was not the first time he's said it, but if there's a Venn diagram of commonality and it gets some dumb Bernie voters on the wagon, so be it. We know Trump isn't James Madison. And a lot of what he says makes me wince, but he also says a lot of damned good things. Sensible things that need to happen to help restore this very broken country. If elected, who knows if he can even accomplish it. But he's all we've got and I just have to hang my hat on that and give him a try to maybe do 1/3 of what he promises.

237 My prediction (and as we all know, I'm usually wrong):

Trump wins by 2-4percentage points ... No change in House or Senate.

While it is theoretically possible for a Trump landslide, I think it is highly unlikely. Hillary isn't landsliding anyone. And the congressional races will be largely unaffected by what happens above.

I'm seeing a 45-41-12 plurality win.

243 You'll notice that no one in the media has mentioned polls in the last week or so.

Even after Bernie endorsed Hillary, her numbers trended down. Even before the convention, Trump's numbers were trending up.

The polls that come out in the next few days will show the beginning of the convention bump. If Hillary comes out of her convention with next to nothing to show for it in the battleground states, the democrats will shit themselves in panic.

Yahoo's news page a day or two ago showed a picture of Donald and Melania standing next to each other next to a picture of Caitlin Jenner.

I didn't read anything - just logging out of email and that's what came on my screen - but the juxtaposition of these images pretty much summed up the two sides of out political and cultural divide.

One side saw Adolf Hitler and Eva Braun, contrasted with a courageous woman who fights ongoing prejudice in order to become who she really is.

The other side sees a happy, attractive, successful couple, contrasted with a freak that's spearheading a nationwide freak show that aims to turn the whole country into freaks.

I really hope the people in the political neutral zone saw those photos side by side.

308 The U.S. State Department said Thursday that it is looking into reports another American has been detained in Iran.

State Department spokesman John Kirby would not comment further on the detention of Robin Shahini.

The girlfriend of the San Diego man said Shahini's sister told her Iranian authorities took him into custody July 11 while he was visiting family in his native Iran and he has not been heard from since.

331 Trump gave a good speech last night.

Yeah, it was a little long.

But, it was obvious that he was trying to accomplish three things:

1) Before the speech, Trump said he was going to present his agenda in detail.

a) That makes it hard for Dims to Palinize him because what he said was very clear (and backed up by stats in several instances)

b) If he wins (and esp if he wins big) Trump can say people voted for my agenda to both parties, so get on board, as Reagan did.

2) With all the high energy, he was clearly going to use portions of this speech for campaign ads,

as befits a guy who likes to run things on a tight budget.

3) It was a unity speech. Not just for the party, but made a very clear appeal to Blacks via the lousy results and plantation control of the Democrats. It he gets 10% of the Black vote (I know, I know), Hillary!'s cooked.

All in all a solid B+...possibly edging into A territory if it accomplishes what he wanted it to do.

Trump's wife speaks several languages.

The only jobs Michelle had after that were special, made-to-order, made-up, political patronage jobs that she received because of who she was married to.

336 I just heard John Podhoretz on the local morning radio show commenting about Trump's speech last night. The kindest thing he said was it was dark and disgusting. (This is a guy who thinks George W. Bush is a serious conservative.) He used 'dark' and 'disgusting' a few times. Honestly, you could hear the rabid-dog froth dripping from his lips. The hosts questioned his interpretation and he simply sounded nastier and repeated his slams. This was a phone interview. If he had been in the studio, I would have been calling for a tranquilizer dart gun in case he broke loose from his choke collar.

The man sounded seriously unhinged. I've heard his name but know nothing much about him. I don't know who he supported during the primaries but got the impression he would vote for Chairman Mao before Trump.

One of the good points he brought up repeatedly last night was that he is not a politician, he is not rigging the game for himself and protecting the obvious, destructive (for Americans) status quo in Washington, where politicians dance to the lobbyist and corporatist's tune. It is something that will resonate strongly with a lot of people who are not political animals. He warned of the onslaught against him from the MFM and all those politicians who don't want his presidency to threaten their game. Good tactic, imho.

Actually, conservatives have a few other concerns aside from Trumps economic policies which are bad enough. Some of the stuff he is saying about foreign policy is kinda nuts. Like allowing nuclear proliferation, ignoring our obligations under NATO, praising the Islamist nut in Turkey, etc.. If al lefty had any of these polices we would be ripping him.

But Trump is the candidate so hopefully he will dial down the crazy. He did a good job last night. More of that.

Me: I don't believe he's a racist and he's been clear that he isn't. Why do you think this?

Her: Open your eyes. People who are racist don't think their racist. He just said he wants to ban Muslims from coming into the country.

Me: But Muslim isn't a race.

Her: No, but the peopel he is talking about aren't white, so he wants to ban them.

Me: Are you saying that non-white people are Muslim? Isn't that, well, racist?

Her: Fuck you, you racist white trash. I'm not racist, he is.

Me: But you just said racist people don't think they are racist.

Someone came up behind him he couldn't see and he hit the front of his car. while backing up slowly Nobody was hurt and the police came but no ticket was issued . He wanted to tell them that before he accepted this job, but it might meant he won't get the job. the woman he spoke to didn't seem to upset, but she needed to check with her boss.

Did the great white say he was gonna deport the 11,000,000 criminal rapist drug runners back to Mexico last night? He was doing so much angry screechy yelling that some of it morphed into undecipherable Trumpisms.

Of course the Democrat Party drive by liberal biased main stream media commies who hate Amerca because they do, found the great white dope only told about 21 fact checked lies during the longest and most angry yelling acceptance speech in history.

505 If Trump thinks he's going to peel off Sanders supporters, he's delusional. And it's rather hideous that he goes after and values Sanders imbeciles and not our own base.

--

I don't think he'll peel away too many Sanders supporters, either. But I do appreciate that what he said attempted to grind big chunks of salt into their wounds by way of the rigged super delegate system. It's not really fair to say he didn't value the base. He threw out a lot of red meat, and said things no other R would ever say. Overall, it left me feeling that the Left must be crapping in their britches today. And that's good. Donald is gonna Donald. But he was really good last night. I'm not ashamed to give him props for it.

I can envision a Trump counterpunch that starts with that ad and segues into parents' voiceovers about having to explain to their children why the democrats and the news media were all saying that a BJ isn't really sex and is no big deal.

Or teenaged boys thanking Hillary, Bill and the Dems for the talking points that BJ's aren't really sex and the president does it so it must be okay.

2 If you can read this --- by Charles Koch

The Closing of the American Mind

There are dangerous signs that the U.S. is turning its back on the principles of a free and open society that fostered the nation's rise.

http://www.wsj.com/articles/the-closing-of-the-american-mind-1469141624

Despite our enormous potential for further progress, a clear majority of Americans see a darker future. Some 56% believe their children's lives will be worse off than their own, according to a January CNN poll. A Rasmussen poll released the following month found that 46% believe America's best days are behind it. Little more than a third believe better days lie ahead.

I empathize with this fear. The U.S. is already far down the path to becoming a less open and free society, and the current cultural and political atmosphere threatens to make the situation worse: Growing attacks on free speech and free association, hostile rhetoric toward immigrants, fear that global trade impoverishes rather than enriches, demands that innovators in cutting-edge industries first seek government permission.

it goes on and on as to why the future is dark and bleak, and why people are angry.

wow

He never mentions anyone, but this is a Trump stamp.

There is no pretense in Donald Trump. - - - NONE.

Say
whatever else you like about The Donald: but if you call him a fake,
then you are either clueless or yourself a fuckin' liar.

This
morning, Trump let it be known in unambiguous detail that it was the
Cruz camp who fired the first ugly shot in maligning Melania Trump.
THEY (Cruz people) are the ones who gave their silent endorsement of that vicious attack on a prominent candidate's wife.

Cruz has a screw loose.

I didn't see that early on. (I was a BIG TIME early Cruz advocate.)
But
now observing the whack-job, Cruz, feign wounded honor over a fight HIS
people started and which he refused to acknowledge (let alone
denounce): tells you this guy is out of touch with reality.

I
am beginning to think Cruz just might be the shamelessly philandering
pussy-hound (cheating on his wife many multiple times with several
women) he has been reported as being.

- We've already had one of those in the White House.

We don't need a Republican version of that foul shit.
Thank you very much.
