Stray Thoughts

I read everything, from Slate to Vox Popoli. Well, perhaps not EVERYTHING; Kos and Stormer are too much for my sensibilities, and I hear through the grapevine that the Stormer losers have been deplatformed (for the record I'm a free speech defender and I don't think "hate" sites should be shut down. How are we supposed to know who the bad guys and the idiots are if they're not allowed to blather?)

The Alt-Right brigade have jumped the shark with all their nationalistic posturing. Da Joos, da Catholics, people of Irish, German, French, etc stock are not "true" Americans according to their ringleaders. Bah. That line of reasoning excludes almost everyone, because many patriotic Americans truly are mongrels. There is no room in their America for me and my family, or my friends and their families. Good luck with that.

The Left have jumped their own shark with their hatred and ridicule of everyone with white skin (among other things). No, you can't have any more of my money. And if you're against "cultural appropriation" give me your car and your pants. Those things were invented by whitey.

More and more I find my views are best expressed by Ben Shapiro. I don't agree with him all of the time, but at least we're in the same ballpark on most things. He did a good job at Berkeley. Milo is doing a good job too. 

Washington is a cartoon, and who knows what the truth is in the headlines. I do know one thing: Trump had better build the wall, or at least make a show out of trying to build the wall. His constituents will turn on him like rabid wolves if he doesn't. Tackling DACA before giving tax cuts to working stiffs is a strategic error on his part, IMHO.

Have we reached the point where we are ungovernable? Maybe. All the grief that the left is hurling at Trump will be returned a hundred-fold if the left succeeds in installing their candidate in 2020. That person will be torn limb from limb, regardless of race or gender, because people have had ENOUGH. 

One thing seems clear to me: the "media", better described as the propaganda wing of the uniparty, will need to be obliterated before we can turn things around. We have a steep hill to climb. FB, Twitter, and other social sites have banned much conservative commentary. None of the right wing sites I'd "liked" on FB a few years ago show up on my page now. None.

I talked to a college-educated white guy the other day who vehemently believes that Trump is cutting all Medicaid care for sick kids who aren't white. I'm not kidding. Progressivism has become a sick, twisted religion rather than a political flavor. The mob wants to jail climate change deniers. Next thing we know they'll be putting people on the rack or burning them at the stake.

Hey, I warned you that these are stray thoughts! 

How's that again?

I am sure you have seen this bumper sticker:

Well, the people who brought you that sentiment also bring you this one:

You see, it is tolerant to accept someone who would rather kill you as look at you. But if you are hateful enough to point out that such as person does want to kill you, then you are intolerant. And that can't be tolerated.

You must be have an open mind and listen to people's opinions. If you disagree with a liberal, it must be because you have a closed mind and therefore liberals don't have to listen to you.

Frankly, I think this meme is the most accurate:

A Little Humo(u)rous Reading

I just could not pass this one up.

I wonder how many views Tiny Chartreuse Pigskins gets these days. Probably not many, since 3/4 of the US population have been banned.

HT Weasel Zippers.

A play in hell...

Hmmm. Yes, I've had this scenario play through my mind. I might agree with most of the opinions "Are the Russians and the Chinese helping Iran achieve nukes here. Especially the Chinese angle. Sure, we buy a lot from China. But they may be thinking... so much easier to build cheap shit and sell it to the other 5 billion in the world. To hell with those crazy American's and their 'standards'. Or something like that. I would add North Korea to that list though, maybe even Pakistan.
