Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | A Well Written ONT Is Necessary for the Security of a Free StateIt's ONT time! What should we talk about tonight? Cows? No cows, huh? Well, how about the difference between men and women?
There's good news for the tipplers amongst us: Wine destroys bacteria that causes cavities and gum disease They then go on to talk about making toothpaste. It's wine. Just drink it. President's Day was this past Monday. I found this on Deviant Art: Chibi Presidents! There's Trump: Of course, we could get political and discuss tariffs. This is the one thing about Trump that really scares me. Tariffs are an easy political sell to people thinking provincially, but they are generally pretty bad for the country as a whole, and Trump seems to like tariffs. How to Punish American Workers Ahh, who am I kidding? Everybody is going to be talking about guns in the comments anyway. My take is that there is a fundamental disconnect between the sides that makes meaningful resolution impossible, one that actually has nothing to do with guns, or mass murder, or regulation or anything else, and it is this: The left thinks that all people are inherently good, and that the right combination of laws will result in Utopia. I feel about that about the way the “good” bears thought of Timothy Treadwell. Most of us on the right realize that Niccolo Machiavelli had the right of it. Whoever desires to found a state and give it laws, must start with assuming that all men are bad and ever ready to display their vicious nature, whenever they may find occasion for it.The problem isn't guns, or laws or society, although all of those can make the problem worse (or better). The problem is people. Fallen man, if you're of a religious bent. Guns Believe it or not, GQ has more common sense than 99% of what goes by the name of media these days. What Conservatives Get Right About Guns David French writes a spot on defense of the 2nd Amendment: Assault Weapons Preserve the Purpose of the Second Amendment Huh. Stopped clocks and blind pigs.... Laws Sorry, Despite Gun-Control Advocates' Claims, U.S. Isn't The Worst Country For Mass Shootings I got in an argument with someone from Norway on Twitter today after I posted the above link. Yes, Breivik is an outlier. But so are mass shooters in the US. We have 70 times the population of Norway, we could have 70 times as many mass casualty events, and still be exactly as safe. The Baltimore effect: What gun-grabbers don’t want to debate Oh. Joy. My hometown. Wheee! And, of course, the absurd: Police Investigated a HS Student Who Drew a Square Root Symbol in Math Class Society Why Is Narcissism Increasing Among Young Americans? Me! Me! Me! Are we living through a narcissism epidemic? And lets not forget the media: Comments(Jump to bottom of comments)1

Cow story, part one:
A cow which staged an escape while being taken to a slaughterhouse has been living alone on an island. When the slaughterhouse workers arrived to take away the cow, they were told it told it would be best to tranquilize the feisty bovine. But they ignored the advice and as it came out of its shed to be loaded onto to the lorry. Instead it rammed a metal fence before making a dash for the nearby Lake Nysa, south Poland...

Cow story, part 2:
A farmworker ended up with a broken arm and bruised ribs during the escape, in which the cow was seem to dive underwater as it made its way to the island. After a week of trying and failing to get the cow back, the farmer, known only as Mr Lukasz, gave up and began making sure it was fed enough food to stay alive When firefighters used a boat to get to the island, the cow swam about 50 metres to a neighbouring peninsula. Pawel Gotowski, deputy commander of the fire brigade in Nysa, said the animal was very frightened and it was impossible to get more than 70 meters near to the animal.

Cow story, part 3:
A vet called in to tranquillise the animal told Mr Lukasz he had run out of gas cartridges, and that it would take several days to get new ones. The farmer is reluctant to shot the animal as that would mean losing the income for its sale. The animal's cause has now been taken up by local politician and former singer, Pawel Kukiz, who has offered to save the 'hero cow' from death. He said 'if all citizens have shown such determination as this cow' then Poland would be a much more prosperous country. 'I am not a vegetarian, but fortitude and the will to fight for this cow's life is invaluable. 'Therefore, I decided to do everything to cause the cow to be delivered to a safe place and in the second stage, as a reward for her attitude, give her a guarantee of a long-term retirement and natural death.'

The Parkland SRO was the wrong person for that job.
Now, I certainly disapprove of his choices, but he probably doesn't deserve *quite* as much hate as he's getting. He would have been fine working at a restaurant or a department store. The system in place to choose him was also at fault. We really don't have seriously thought-out methods for choosing a person like that, or for training people to ensure they will do what they need. The military kind of does, but that's not directly applicable to the rest of the world, and it's not always right either. Just like *everyone* needs a little help to be more resilient in life, people like this SRO needed a lot more help, and didn't get it. Also personally chose to check out instead of stopping mass-murder, so, you know, also not saying he doesn't deserve blame, he does. But that won't solve the problem (and neither will bills to punish your political enemies). Posted by: Merovign, Dark Lord of the Sith at February 22, 2018 10:32 PM (wB8Tg) 140
I had a weird dream this morning.
There was some sort of party in my house's basement and we were all watching a baseball game while talking and the like. But one team was wearing light blue Napoleonic French hussar uniforms with their pelisse jackets draped over the shoulders, as was the summer style, playing against a team of green-jacketed light cavalry chasseurs a cheval. Coaching staff or umpiring staff were dressed in French Marshals' uniforms; there were others in the dugouts dressed in noncombatants' plain uniforms like medical staff. "We" weren't really watching the game but party talking instead but the light-blue hussars were fielding. Then I woke up. Maybe they were the Blue Jays and I was thinking about Napoleonic uniforms because I had watched a documentary on the Romanovs featuring Alexander I fighting Napoleon that had shown Russian reenactors drilling.

----------------------- You see this in online games that have PvP (Player vs Player) combat. A player is used to dealing with computer-controlled opponents, and then is suddenly confronted with an opponent that's controlled by another player. There's a tendency to freeze up and then panic. Been there, done that (at least in on-line games; never in real life). But it's the shock of the whole thing that causes that "freeze and panic" moment. The deputy's situation appears to have been different. He was outside the building. He had a chance to get himself in the proper frame of mind before going and looking for Cruz. He didn't.

Chibi Warren Harding should remind us that he was a much better and more successful president than the "experts" of today give him credit for. He ended the postwar depression quickly with orthodox economics. He stopped the Wilsonian witch hunts and freed those imprisoned by his predecessor. He backed the Dyer anti-lynching bill, filibustered by the Democrats. The scandals of his administration were no worse than those of the Truman years.

Tariffs are an easy political sell to people thinking provincially, but they are generally pretty bad for the country as a whole, and Trump seems to like tariffs.
Tariffs are legitimate tools of state.

And last but certainly not least, there's the damage done to the Progressive Marxist narrative that we're all just supposed to give up our guns, our Constitutional rights and our common sense to people like the Coward County Sheriff and people he hires. You'll never hear about that on the Communist News Network, but they just got hoisted on their own petard in a spectacular fashion.

I've come to a new and I think better understanding of the purpose of tarrifs after pondering Brexit. I have always been strongly in favor of the free market, no tarrif position throughout my life, but I understand now that your position depends on your standing in society.
The professional and wealthy classes do not depend on money from the sale of goods they make; they earn their living from high value services. For them, it is most profitable to support no tarrifs and free trade - their income will not be affected, and their living costs will go down. The lower middle class to poorer classes has a much different calculation - yes, their costs will follow, but since they earn their living from work with sales and manufacture of the goods in question, their incomes will collapse much more dramatically when the value of their labor is undercut by forcing them to directly compete with cheap 3rd world labor. So low tarrifs support the Professional Class and the Wealthy - Tarrifs support the working poor and the lower middle classes. Which part of society do you want to support? That's what the fight is about. Posted by: Tom Servo at February 22, 2018 10:48 PM (V2Yro) 212

Don't know if it got mentioned here earlier (it probably did, but I just missed it), but...
Apparently five counties in California decided to go ahead and authorize teachers to conceal carry while at school. Fortunately *cough*, the California legislative bodies and Governor Brown immediately sprang into action. California state law had allowed school superintendents to decide whether it was legal to carry a weapon while in a "school zone". This was how the five counties were able to justify concealed carry on their schools. But on Friday, the law was modified to disallow that. Posted by: junior at February 22, 2018 10:54 PM (TadoT) 246
Folks: this defies belief. There was a deputy at the Florida school shooting.

If anyone wants to know just how much tax money is wasted on public programs, there is a 60 Minutes interview of Judge Judy from back when she was a family court judge in NYC.
At about 5:13 a discussion starts, partly her, partly a public sector employee, about the layers of supervisors involved in a child welfare case. It's incredible. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kEJEGFIV3cc Posted by: nerdygirl at February 22, 2018 10:55 PM (+lVUW) 248

Posted by: filbert at February 22, 2018 10:52 PM (953wK) Yep. MrsCaniac's dad has been in and out of the hospital for the last 45 days. He has emphysema and now what the doctors think may be lung cancer. Right now, his life is a razor's edge. If he is getting his meds, oxygen, food and rest on schedule, he does as well as you would expect. When he doesn't get them correctly, he has to go to the hospital to be stabilized. My mother in law is not physically able to care for him, but she keeps saying that she can and he keeps telling the doctors that he wants to go home and have her take care of him. The social workers? Worthless. They keep telling MrsCaniac that there is an open file on her dad's case, but they keep allowing him to go home with her because that is his choice. The social worker has really screwed everything up because of all the advice that they gave the Mrs. Every bit of advice has proceeded to blow up in her face. Screw em.

Chibi Warren Harding should remind us that he was a much better and more successful president than the "experts" of today give him credit for. He ended the postwar depression quickly with orthodox economics. He stopped the Wilsonian witch hunts and freed those imprisoned by his predecessor. He backed the Dyer anti-lynching bill, filibustered by the Democrats. The scandals of his administration were no worse than those of the Truman years.
Not the smartest guy but one the with good sense to keep government out of America's way.

Considering every revolution where a moderate liberal-left group won alongside hard-left (e.g. Stalinist!) allies, the allies soon killed the liberals and took over including the Russian Revolution, it would have led to a Stalinist state that would have had alot more blood on its hands than Franco's post-SCW Spain ever did.

I take a dim view of tariffs generally, but view them as a potentially
necessary tool in dealing with truculent nations, This. I never said tariffs were never appropriate, but their use should be tightly targeted and carefully time limited. 9 times out of 10 tariffs are stupid. You'll do far more harm to the economy as a whole than you will to benefit the people you're trying to "protect". Labor isn't the only cost that goes into manufacturing. The availability of raw materials, stable government, respect for private property, transportation, cost of energy and regulatory burden are equally and often more important. You think American companies can't compete with cheap overseas labor, even at 10 times the labor cost? Ridiculous. American workers have a hundred times the productivity*. Gutting the regulatory apparatus would have many times the positive effect of tariffs in benefiting any industry you care to mention. *"10 times" and "a hundred times" are rhetorical, I don't have the time or inclination to spend the next few hours looking up the exact percentages.

The closest I could come to anything verifying the story was this. In a story recounted by First Lady Grace Coolidge, a young woman once sat next to the President at a dinner party. She told him that she made a bet she could get him to have a conversation of three words or more. According to the First Lady, Coolidge, without even looking at the young woman, quietly responded, "You lose." http://www.historybyzim.com/2015/02/coolidge-you-lose/ I think the First Lady would have noted it if the young woman was Dorothy Parker, so it must not have been.

Tariffs are legitimate tools of state.

The Deputy Sheriff who was on duty but did not go in and deal with the situation is an example of why having one, and only one, armed guard at a large "gun-free zone" facility is not going to cut it, IMHO.
This guy chickened-out. How can we ensure that never happens again? Can't be done, and I don't care if every armed school guard hired is a veteran with an award for combat valor. Past performance is not an absolute guarantee of future performance. And one guard for a large facility can leave a lot of time for mayhem to occur, even if the guard is Alvin York re-incarnated, if the guard's at the other end of the facility and/or on another floor from the action. I'm writing all of this because I have seen a lot of comments here at AoSHQ and at other blogs saying one guy with a long gun is all that's needed to protect a school. I don't think so, not if your protection objective is zero victims. I believe armed guards and entry screening (as at airports) at schools is the only way to achieve a zero or near-zero victims result.

There comes a time when it is a 'test of character'... and unless you have ESP? You can't know what they are really like.

Eh, you get surprises, but sometimes you know. We don't have any systematic and predictable way of determining / testing that, however, which is a problem.
Likewise, our active shooter prep is absolute shit. The JROTC kids saved a bunch of lives while most of the staff and students were running around like chickens with their heads cut off. Oddly the tiny training booklet at my last job was really good. Listening for directions, communication, and when and when not to fight back. Posted by: Merovign, Dark Lord of the Sith at February 22, 2018 11:14 PM (wB8Tg) One reason why so many in law enforcement oppose schools/colleges from allowing CCW is because the police are literally trained to shoot anyone who isn't cowering.

Could Florida Governor Rick Scott suspend the whole Broward County administration on suspicion of corruption, and bring in a special prosecutor to investigate each and every one of them?
Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at February 22, 2018 11:15 PM (Dbv1R) Probably should. Given the pre-election shenanigans there, it looks like Broward is a dem machine county run by a corrupt sheriff (and here we thought that didn't happen any more).

Either way, you will pay. Companies will pass on their tariff costs in terms of price. It's like a real estate owner pushing property tax hikes on renters. Even if you don't buy imports, you'll have to pay from higher domestic prices, protected by the government from competition and thus need to compete or die.

I assume the same is the case in Florida. I doubt the governor has the power to remove a sheriff unless there is criminality or corruption. Again, I don't know the specifics for Florida, but I doubt very much that the governor has the authority to remove any elected official just because he wants to. Posted by: Anon Y.

Sounds like some of the scandalous aspects of this disaster (the law enforcement side, county and FBI) is getting some attention. If there were anything resembling a press, this would quickly drown out the idiotic "gun control" hysteria. Thinking it probably will, anyway.
But the fact that even Trump and some usually non-useless GOP are playing along with the hysteria othan educate and act like leaders is depressing - I refer to Trump's jaw-dropping tweet earlier today about bump stocks and finally "doing something". He might just not have thought all this through. But at times I think he underestimates his own political power and options. Posted by: rhomboid at February 22, 2018 11:39 PM (QDnY+) 443

professor disarray: "Agreed. But his boss was disgusted...which I think is telling.
It all seems really damning." Yes, it does. My problem, and it's a much broader one, is that I don't believe my eyes and ears anymore when these big events transpire. I now have to resort to asking myself whose interests are at stake and try to interpret "truth". I don't believe the local PD. I don't trust the FBI. I don't have faith in Social Services. I sure as fuckity-fuck don't trust the media. And now we have the Activism Army moving in on a "local story". The parade of ass-covering here is epic and the trusts that I used to grant to institutions is gone. So I refuse to jump at the first narratives (or "facts") that come out now. It's a life lesson that I finally accepted when I turned 29 last year. So now I cannot jump all over this SRO with a) limited, parsed information, and b) myriad interests looking to escape fault or move an agenda.

You can harden a school's defenses with armed guards and screening like at airports, but you cannot stop a killer from shooting from afar at recess, outside lunch, or before classes begin or when school's out, when students are massing at doorways.
The grounds will have to be secured at perimeters with more guards. PDT should push this school security issue, including gun and defense training for ank kind of school workers that want it, and keep it up no matter what the left and GOPe throw at him. The left has an election strategy, and it's time for PDT to have one, too. Posted by: Les Kinetic at February 22, 2018 11:47 PM (5OEn4) 477
326 Brenden Fraiser got divorced after his last mummy movie. The alimony was calculated on the idea he was going to continue to be a swashbuckling A-list celebrity for the rest of his life. Since he does not, like Tom Cruise, bath in the blood of infants, this did not hold, and he was bankrupt in a few years. His ex was a vengeful destroying bitch IIRC.

Some animal insights on slaughter house behavior of steers with a brief overview of being clear about the artificial insemination of heifers (for contrast).
Cooperative Extension Service Bulletin 49802 Excerpted from Chapter 13, sec 42A states: Rule number one if you be in the cow/cattle/hog/sheep/goat business... you have to be smarter than them. Cows have been know to stare at a new gate. So because they look at you as they approach their fate on the killin floor, the look doesn't mean squat. It's the blood vapor that induces the hypnotic last stare. Then boom! It's lights out. Anthropomorphisizing the steer is a form of superstition. "They Know!" I call BS. Further example: artificially inseminating a heifer...I've seen young farmers lose their minds and attraction to their girlfriend's because of that involved, but intimate process... with a pipette 36 inches long full of bull semen, one's delivery arm wrapped in an arm-length condom.... The trick is to get the entire arm up way up into the heifer twat with that pipette loaded with reamin' creamin' screamin' bull semen, holding it in your delivery hand. The pipette has a rubber "squeezer" on it like a turkey baster. When your arm deep that squeezer is going to be almost touching the heifer's twat. And she's gonna be movin around, and yer talkin at her, telling her how good she is.... Oh wait...am I sayin this shit out loud? Long story short.... when you squeeze that rubber bulb and the bull snot goes shootin home, the heifer lets out a loud moo.... If the tech isn't careful he'll think he caused that shit. Or think that because the heifer wasn't subjected to a real bull's big hunchin bang out, she's saying thank you or some shit. Ya gotta be smarter than the heifer. You went up the correct alley way AND THAT'S WHY SHE MOOIN! --- Ellis Pyle, Cooperative Extension Service Bulletin 49802; Dongola IL Posted by: Nosferatu at February 22, 2018 11:51 PM (ghzHY) 493

Are you aware that the cops were called to the shooter's home 39 times over the years?
And a commenter on the evening open thread said that he'd held a gun to a guy's head (three times? I can't recall) but the sheriff's men talked the guy out of pressing charges over the misunderstanding and got them to 'hug it out' after an apology so he didn't sign the complaint.

Ok. I couldn't sleep and I did some fact checking on this guy Jeff Kasky, father of child actor and Nellie Ohr friend Cameron Kasky. I browsed through his Twitter and he is certifiable filled with hatred. Literally no humor. Then I run across this tweet about their plans to establish a Jewish Caliphate are going as planned in commenting about Prince Harry marrying that chick from the show Suits.
Anyway is he a true Inner Party Bolshevik? Is this what it is about? I don't know much about the politics of Jewish people because there seems to be a huge difference between true American loving Jewish people and Commie Jewiesh people plus all the propaganda. Just seeking clarification that's it. Also y'all should give his Twitter a spin. Very enlightening about current situation.

475 It's about what ALLOWED the Nazis to become a viable alternative to Weimar decadence and Communist violence.
Posted by: Mark Andrew Edwards at February 22, 2018 11:44 PM (xJa6I) And Communist violence plus shitty French diplomacy - namely, the Versailles treaty - didn't just allow the Nazis to become viable, but induced their rise. Imagine the scenario in the American context: the financial system collapses, life savings are wiped out, impoverishing the middle class, and Communist thugs are rioting in the streets and threatening to take over as they had but a decade or so earlier in Russia. The bourgeois parties are helpless before Red violence and burgeoning inflation imposed by reparations. Suddenly someone bursts onto the scene who is tough enough to go toe to toe with the Communists in the streets, who promises to renounce the Versailles treaty and restore prosperity, and rebuild pride in the nation. Yeah, he spouts crazy talk, but desperate people are willing to blow off that off as rhetoric. He doesn't really mean it, they think. And the alternative is the Communists, who also spout crazy talk, and who've made all to clear exactly what they would do, and God knows, they mean every word. What do you do? The Germans were hosed either way. Posted by: Deplorable Jay Guevara at February 23, 2018 12:08 AM (YqDXo) 552

Jay laid out the pre-Nazi situation well. And recall that even in that context, the Nazis never topped a third of the vote (parliamentary system), in real elections (though some of the outlandish numbers they ran up in plebiscites after they had outlawed their opposition were not *entirely* bogus, since they were riding a wave of popularity from economic and other success).
A good accessible treatment of all this can be found in a few of Richard Evans' books (The Coming of the Third Reich, The Third Reich in Power). He has one more book in the trilogy, covering the war years and of course the ultimate destruction of the regime. Posted by: rhomboid at February 23, 2018 12:14 AM (QDnY+) 578

BackwardsBoy likes lobster: "But 39 calls to the shooters house for disturbances and nothing was done?"
Yeah, that's where the fix should have been. The last resort is the worst resort because, pretty much, only bad can happen. It's just the degree of bad when the smoke clears. So what can be done, legally and Constitutionally, between calls one and X (in this case, thirty-nine) that can diffuse a situation and prevent tragedy? And that's where it gets ugly because the gray area between individual rights and public safety are so intertwined. Who wants to jump out of the frying pan and into the fire of denying someone their rights to be free of state care? I mean look at the SJW's who we read about regularly or the punk-wokes who threaten, attack, and abuse folks on the streets and in the hallways and who are never restrained? Or, in this case, broken people who have lost restraint? Who is going to give them an extended timeout away from others? Answer: No one. So that's the conundrum. We are going to have violent tragedies because society insists we have them. That's the downside of free people. But we must insist upon the freedom to defend ourselves when the State Plan, whatever it is, fails. And that's where preservation of the 2nd, as written, is and remains essential.

Germans weren't looking for wars of conquest, nor was genocide and mass murder an item in the party's program when they depended on attracting votes. The bloodless successes like the Rhineland and Saarland and the Sudetenland were very popular.

No, I agree. I was just being a little facetious. Let those who want to carry, carry. People who don't feel comfortable with a gun should not carry. Absolutely should they not carry. And Michael Moore should not ever be allowed to carry or be permitted armed protection. That would be fair. But the bigger theory is if everyone can carry, criminals have no idea who or how many will turn them into swiss cheese. The element of surprise works both ways while empowering innocents.

Posted by: rhomboid at February 23, 2018 12:21 AM (QDnY+) It is a weird psychology (if you can call it that for what was a police state.) You have the initial hesitancy and qualms of the German high command. Then the European complete lay-down, which ran contrary to those fears (at least with respect to the Sudetenland, Austria and the rest of Czechoslovakia.) The relative easy conquest of Poland and France. All the grievances of WWI paid off in a lump. I can see it. You go from the lows of the 20's to a place of European supremacy. It would make anyone out of sorts. Hitler was not exactly the most stable of people to begin with, but for others, it I think kind of made them wonder- especially with the initial mistake of not crushing the forces at Dunkirk. The Battle of Britain, or the first true gigantic mistake- invading the Soviets much later than optimal. Plus, propaganda that rivals modern day- but even more unified without dissenting voices.

That was the little snot-nosed punk that Dondi couldn't even stand up to last night? Rush played that clip today and said there was nothing Dondi could've said at that point. Bullshit. How about, "I understand that emotions are running high right now. I also understand that you're young and not in full control yet. There's also quite a bit you don't know about life either. So I'll ignore your childish insult to tell you that I'll continue to accept money from the NRA because they stand against anyone who wants to take away our hard earned Constitutional rights. Oh, and one other thing young lad: You need to learn that casting blame on someone or something that had nothing to do with this tragedy, as you just did to me, is very immature and not something that responsible adults do." Naturally, the shit would've hit the fan, but that was a good time to tell the truth and don't back down. As usual, Rubio couldn't do it. Y'all don't know how embarrassed I am to admit that I voted for him and that he's my congresscritter. He's being blackmailed. That's the only thing that could possibly explain his sudden and dramatic reversal on the issues he spoke so eloquently about (without notes) on the campaign trail.

"I can think of quite a few people I would NEVER want to carry, and fortunately, they don't."
I'm thinking of a female relative, a diagnosed manic depressive with notoriously poor impulse control. I would be terrified if she ever had a gun, luckily she at least has enough sense to know she shouldn't. If she had one the only question would be who she shot first, herself or the first person who had the bad luck of pissing her off. No way could she keep her finger off that trigger for long.

641. Commies know his name. They fear him. Ever notice how - of all the many, many South American strongmen and dictators - Augusto is singled out for particular abuse and calumny? There's a reason - he stopped them cold in their tracks, and left the nation free, prosperous, and proud. Hell, he nearly WON the plebiscite he called to renew his leadership. Think of that.

579I don't want to carry a gun. I live my life in a way that should
minimize risk of needing one 24/7. I didn't say eliminate the need for one. I have guns in my home for protection but I'm not carrying them to the mailbox, to the Teeter or out on a jog. I like my odds. ---------- First of all, you do you (as they say). I am not encouraging anyone or anything, we all go our own way. But, I will say one thing that I believe to be absolutely true. No one EVER needs a gun...............unless they need it really badly. Posted by: quint at February 23, 2018 12:43 AM (n13/j) 664

Nope. Missed it, but I can kind of imagine it.
Well, I found it. Buried down on the F drive, thank God for the search function: Bonnie Blue Gadson Flag "We are a band of brothers And native to the soil, Fighting for the property We gained by honest toil; And when our rights were threatened, The cry rose near and far-- "Hurrah for the Gadson Flag Fly proudly from our spar!" CHORUS: Hurrah! Hurrah! Individual rights hurrah! Hurrah for the Gadson Flag Fly proudly from our spar. While the D.C elite, Were faithful to their trust, Like friends and like brothers Both kind were we and just; But now, when Federal treachery Attempts our rights to mar, We hoist on high the Gadson Flag Fly proudly from our spar.--CHORUS First gallant Rick Santelli cried out from the exchange, The people followed quickly, rejecting this new "change". Alsaka's native daughter, inspired many more All raised on high the Gadson Flag Fly proudly from our spar.--CHORUS Ye men of valor, gather round The banner of our fight; From home to halls of Congress The statist foe we smite. We shall oppose the president, his cronies and his tzars; Now rally round the Gadson Flag Fly proudly from our spar.--CHORUS And then in old Virginia-- progressives met their fate-- Along with blue New Jersey showed reforms can not wait; Impelled by their example, Now other states prepare To hoist on high the Gadson Flag Fly proudly from our spar.--CHORUS Then cheer, boys, cheer; Raise the joyous shout, The two-ten midterms proved our case There is no remaining doubt; And let another rousing cheer For freedom's light be given, "Don't tread on me" from the Gadson Flag Flys proudly from our spar.--CHORUS Then here's to our Republic, Strong are we and brave; Like patriots of old we'll fight Our rule of law to save. And rather than submit to shame, To die we would prefer; So cheer for the Gadson Flag Fly proudly from our spar.--CHORUS Posted by: Weirddave at February 23, 2018 12:45 AM (Nyyc4) Posted by: Robert, nervous, a'skeered, Heart all a'twitter at February 23, 2018 12:45 AM (ayUOl) 669

Rubio, since he came to my attention (after he was elected) always seemed like a city councilman from a medium-sized city who was elevated far beyond his level.
Of course he's in a Senate populated by freaks, very very small personalities, and incredibly stupid people - so not hard to look slightly better by comparison. His failure yesterday is just a jaw-dropping example of what goes on 24/7 - GOP and other non-insane public elements utterly lack the interest, ability, and verbal intelligence to give society a chance by rejecting the increasingly outlandish false framework distorting every issue of import. They can burble their lame campaign themes, but disassembling the dim journalists and opponents they face seems beyond them.

685. My outlaw brother was never 'really' violent, but got what I'd call a timely intervention through the efforts of elements of the local constabulary. Every time he moved, there was a cop, it seemed. Eventually, he slipped up - or so they say - and got jammed up with questionable items in a suspicious location.

Because they haven't forgot their history.

"The left thinks that all people are inherently good, and that the right combination of laws will result in Utopia.
I hear this a lot and fundamentally disagree. I say this as a former Leftist having grown-up within a culture of hard-core Noam Chomsky Leftists. The Left does not think that people are inherently good, but that Leftists, the Left itself, is inherently morally superior and that people in general are fundamentally in need of interdiction and control. Those that do not believe what they, the Leftists, believe are thought to be morally defective, and those who oppose what they believe are thought to be less than human, in need of massive control or forceful correction or violent suppression. But the argument that Leftists are Utopianists and think people an the world are perfectible is at best outdated (there were a lot of liberals who once believed this, but not so much anymore). If Leftists think about Utopia it is only in the sense of a world they totally dominate and control. Posted by: Dan Smoot's Apprentice at February 23, 2018 06:17 AM (JTwx1) 779

What an amazing coincidence that we were both in Japan at the same time. I think I got there 6 months before you and left six months earlier than you.

Yes, yes it is. I actually should ask my father for the exact dates we were there. The overlap may be closer yet. Never spent any time at Barksdale Air Force Base in the 60's, did you? Posted by: Village Idiot's Apprentice at February 23, 2018 07:28 AM (EyPfd) 846

If I knew I was going to live so long I would have taken better care of myself. As someone told me, "You can not live fast, die young, and leave a beautiful corpse. You're too old." Posted by: NaCly Dog at February 23, 2018 07:28 AM (hyuyC) 847
Used urinal cakes
Posted by: Bruce at February 23, 2018 07:25 AM (8ikIW) Watch out, you might start another fad, I guess the pink ones are the best. I assume only men would know this. But today who knows, but women still have trouble using the urinals. Posted by: Colin at February 23, 2018 07:29 AM (ogUTd) 848

"This. No more, "agree to disagree" or any of that weak-kneed nonsense. I intend to be dismissive, rude, and insulting. That's on a day when I'm in a good mood."
Yeah, this. Been thinking that for a while, started on the program yesterday with one of my few remaining friends who has been drifting MSNBC-wards for years. In so many words "You're a fucking idiot if you really believe that. Don't waste my time. You used to be able to actually think, what happened ?"

My dad was USN. I did live in California for four years in the 1960's. But on a small island at the top of San Pablo Bay, in Sonoma County bordering on Napa County. Skaggs Island Naval Station. Posted by: NaCly Dog at February 23, 2018 07:31 AM (hyuyC) 852
Eromero: I'm 62 myself, so not likely to catch the twirp. But I better be a little more careful so as to make it to your age.

"Occupants of public offices love power and are prone to abuse it.
Government is not reason, it is not eloquence, it is force; like a fire, a troublesome servant and a fearful master. Never for a moment should it be left to irresponsible action. However combinations or associations of factions may now and then answer popular ends, they are likely, in the course of time and things, to become potent engines, by which cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the power of the people, and to usurp for themselves the reins of government - destroying afterwards the very engines which have lifted them to unjust dominion."--George Washington on the Obama/Clinton Deep State Coup Posted by: The Gipper Lives at February 23, 2018 07:32 AM (Ndje9) 854
