Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other. John Adams I blame the leftists. But it really doesn’t matter who started it, way too many of us went along with this nonsense that freedom means no limits whatsoever. Think it through: if you have no limits then neither does the other guy. You might think killing people for their lollipops is a bad plan but he might … Continue reading “Morality is the Foundation of Freedom”
Leftism is Drowning
Political terminology is ‘definition flexible’. Translation: stupid terms rarely mean the same thing to everyone. Everyone assumes lawyers get Poli Sci degrees as a stepping stone to law school. I suspect that having to constantly define every common term is too annoying for them. Being a good little Poli Sci geek, I will now define my terms. Leftism for the purposes of this discussion is defined as positions on the economic scale that hold to socialism through communism and that … Continue reading “Leftism is Drowning”
Isolationism is NOT in America’s Best Interest
George Washington famously advised that the US ‘avoid foreign entanglements’. In typical American fashion, we proceeded to ignore it completely and take it completely overboard as it suited us. Washington’s warnings were specific to his time and certainly an accomplished general like Washington had more than enough sense to realize the US had survived the Revolutionary War by the skin of its teeth and didn’t need to be trying that again anytime soon. We did, of course, in the War … Continue reading “Isolationism is NOT in America’s Best Interest”
Trump V. DeSantis: A Media Love Story
The weird thing is that the Lamestream doesn’t seem to realize its fascination with trying to hype up the alleged conflict between Trump and DeSantis is actually benefitting both. Yes, I know it’s February 24th and the anniversary of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Russia can continue ruining itself without my help today. It matters, but the most significant thing about how today went is how much of a whimper it was. Russia be big on anniversaries so many observers … Continue reading “Trump V. DeSantis: A Media Love Story”
What Russia and China Teach the US about Itself
Don’t be corrupt authoritarian jerks. See you next time on… I don’t get it. Everyone says they want simple straightforward answers until you give them one. Then they’re all ‘but why’ and ‘we need details’. Okay, here’s the scoop. The US goes through these periods of self examination. That’s a good thing. The problem starts when we don’t have any goals as a nation or crises to keep us focused. Then we stop self examination and start navel gazing until … Continue reading “What Russia and China Teach the US about Itself”
Knowing When is Tough
When to stop. When to go. When to speak. When to stay silent. When to fight like heck. When to just give in. Circumstance is a cruel dictator. We know this instinctively and want nice, hard and fast, simple rules so we don’t have to adjust to circumstance. Problem being that the universe doesn’t work like that. Telling the idiot that cut you off and nearly killed you both what an idiot he is a perfectly appropriate unless said idiot … Continue reading “Knowing When is Tough”
Don’t Become the Monster: US Edition
The Biden Administration is a train wreck. Get out of its way. That doesn’t mean stay silent or to never criticize. After all, we’d like this particular train wreck to do as little damage as possible. No, it’s a cautionary statement to not become a distraction from just how bad the Biden Admin is all by its little self. Think first, argue later. This little gem is something the Democrats no longer do and that lack has cost them dearly. … Continue reading “Don’t Become the Monster: US Edition”
Don’t Become The Monster: Foreign Policy Edition
Look guys, being opposition for the sake of being oppositions is STUPID. So quit it. Any questions? What? Oh for Pete’s sake… We’ve spent the last forty years in American politics with the Democrats desperately clinging to the coattails of Civil Rights in the vain hope of maintaining relevance. They settled for maintaining power. That’s now ending. Yes, the whole process was stupid. Could we please not repeat it on the conservative side? No, I didn’t say Republican because I’m … Continue reading “Don’t Become The Monster: Foreign Policy Edition”
Basic Reasoning 101
No, it’s not the beginning of a logic course. Nor am I going to explain the intricacies of drafting an argument – virtually no one actually needs to know how to argue formally so why bother? There are things we can learn from formal argument like who has the right of way. Seriously, fancy term is the burden of proof. Basically, you state it as fact or conclusion, you own the burden of proving it really is a fact or … Continue reading “Basic Reasoning 101”
COVID 19 Time for Truth: US Edition
Below you will find a link to a fairly dry little video of a doctor going over the latest research out of Italy. I fully agree with him that it’s pathetic that we have to wait for Italy to do what EVERY developed nation should have been doing, most especially the US. Here’s the TL;DR: Vitamin D is shown to reduce hospitalization and incidence of death. In normal people speak, vitamin D helps you fight off C19 so that you … Continue reading “COVID 19 Time for Truth: US Edition”
