As the Liberal/Progressive Media and Blogosphere Attempt To Destroy Governor Chris Christie...
by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation U S A Purveyor of Truth As the liberal/progressive media and bloggers attempt to trash Governor Chris Christie of New Jersey over the George Washington Bridge lane closings, ostensibly because he is a formidable threat to their darling would be 2016 democratic presidential nominee Hillary Rodham Clinton, there remains NO EVIDENCE he had any involvement or was aware of the actions by his underlings. If Governor Christie indeed had no involvement in the closings, and at this point is is prudent to assume he didn't, the valid question is... should he have known? If we believe an executive sets the tone and culture for his administration then indeed the actions of his loyal staff at least become somewhat understandable. Wrong, but understandable. From NorthJersey.com Nothing in the approximately 2,000 documents released on Friday by the Assembly committee investigating the matter suggest that Christie knew of the lane-closure scheme beforeh

And The Carnage Continues...
The Left LOVES machineguns –– in the hands of terrorists, dissidents, pirates, thieves, and marauders of all kinds –– ANYONE who UPENDS GOOD ORDER and DESTABILIZES the STATUS QUO –– , but absolutely CAN'T STAND the idea that any decent, law-abiding Americn Citizen should have guns in his home to PROTECT HIMSELF and HIS FAMILY from ATTACK by those very fiends whom the Left so ADORES. FreeThinke 2/15/18 Yesterday another mass shooting occurred at a Broward County Florida High School. 17 studends lay dead, senselessly cut down before they had an opportunity to fulfill their promise, start a family, enjoy life, and grow old. America, alledgedly the greatest nation on earth also has approximately 350 million guns in circulation. Not surprising, the death rate due to firearms in the U.S. is nearly double the global average . In the aftermath of each and every terrible gun related tragedy the nation grieves, politicians offer their heartfelt condolences, then politicians debate the

Unspeakable Evil...
by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Liberty -vs- Tyranny Connecticut State Police walk near the scene of an elementary school shooting on Dec. 14, 2012 in Newtown, Conn. (credit: Douglas Healey/Getty Images) Today, in Newtown Connecticut an act of unspeakable violence against innocent children occurred. As unfathomable as this act was it occured. As I sat numbed by the realization such a grotesque and deranged act could actually occur, I could not help but to contemplate what it is that would drive a 20 year old individual to commit such a heinous crime against innocent children. Having a 4 year old grandson and a 1 and a 1/2 year old old granddaughter the events of today hit very close to home. My heart, as well as that of Mrs. Rational Nation goes out to the parents and families who lost loved ones in today's tragic shooting. Now is the time for all Americans to come together in mourning the loss of innocent young lives. After the grieving we must look for answ
Recommended Reading, Thomas Piketty’s best-selling new book, “Capital in the Twenty-First Century”...
From: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Purveyor of Truth Time to shed the right -vs- left, socialism -vs- capitalism hyperbole and purchase Thomas Piketty's new book " Capital in the Twenty-First Century. " PARIS — Thomas Piketty turned 18 in 1989, when the Berlin Wall fell, so he was spared the tortured, decades-long French intellectual debate about the virtues and vices of communism. Even more telling, he remembers, was a trip he took with a close friend to Romania in early 1990, after the collapse of the Soviet empire. “This sort of vaccinated me for life against lazy, anticapitalist rhetoric, because when you see these empty shops, you see these people queuing for nothing in the street,” he said, “it became clear to me that we need private property and market institutions, not just for economic efficiency but for personal freedom.” (emphasis mine) But his disenchantment with communism doesn’t mean that Mr. Piketty has turned his back on the intellectual
Our Biggest Creditor {China} Tells Us "The good old days of borrowing are over"
by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Birthplace o Independent Conservatism Liberty -vs- Tyranny As the chickens come home to roast... Unbelievable we have been this stupid. ( Reuters ) - Global leaders on Saturday arranged a round of emergency calls to discuss the twin debt crises in Europe and the United States that are causing turmoil in financial markets . After a week that saw $2.5 trillion wiped off global stock markets, they are under pressure to show political leadership and reassure markets that Western governments have both the will and ability to reduce their huge and growing public debt loads. French President Nicolas Sarkozy, who chairs the G7/G20 group of leading economies, conferred with Britain's Prime Minister David Cameron ahead of a call planned for this weekend by G7 finance ministers and central bankers. "They discussed the euro area and the U.S. debt downgrade. Both agreed the importance of working together, monitoring the situation closely
On the Zimmerman Trial amd Outcome...
by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Lib e rty -vs- Tyr a nny Now that the second degree murder trial of George Zimmerman is over, with the jury's proper verdict of "not guilty", the nation begins the process of sorting out what it all means. As well as how the nation should move forward, if it moves at all. View the following CNN video with Van Jones and Newt Gingrich... then, you be the judge. If reading body language helps pay close attention, it might aid you in making up your mind. Now, some takes from your's truly... This case is not about race. It is about a very stupid individual that acted stupidly in ignoring the police dispatcher's instructions on that fateful night. The DA, as well as the prosecuting team botched both the indictment and the prosecution of the indictment. Place the responsibility where it belongs rather than screaming racism. Bottom line, Zimmerman walked because an inept DA AMD prosecutors. It was not a case of secon
I wish you safety and success, in that order.
ReplyDeleteBetter Buck Fever than Ebola!
ReplyDeleteThanks guys.
ReplyDeleteAfter tonight I will be releasing comments via traveling smart phone.
ReplyDeleteResponse comments will be light to not at all.
Hunting? beer? Ice? gees....shouldn't take long....local 711 should do it........ana youse won't need no gun, neither!
ReplyDeleteHey, take one of those beers over to Shaw... she's suffering on wine!
ReplyDeleteCoffee in the morning and throughout the day.
ReplyDeleteBeer on ice at sundown and only until 9:00 PM then lights out.
Up at 5:30 AM.
Murder animals myself? No thanks. I have no plans to ever hunt same as I have no plans to ever get a job at a slaughterhouse for fun.
ReplyDeleteEach to his own. Now, got eat some lentils.
ReplyDeleteOr as the case might be, eat processed hamburger or pink slime with the blissful assumption that it comes from a factory and has nothing to do with slaughterhouses or animals.
DeleteI make no such assumptions. I only said that *I* have no desire to be the one doing the killing. Not that I approve of the way animals are often slaughtered. I'm not. But I suppose if RN does his murdering humanely, then the end for these creatures is better than when they are murdered by the corporate animal killers.
DeleteAnd I am well aware of what pink slime is... which is something you get when you're against regulation. Libertarians would argue that buying or not buying pink slime is a choice that should be left up to the consumer.
dmarks, dude dervish is starting to run off the rails again.
DeleteOy Vey... !!!
RN: How someone like him can turn a simple hunting notification into an ranting expression of his ignorance and contempt for the sport is beyond me.
DeleteBut I am sure that uninformed opinions are far from your mind when you are out in the woods hunting ...ahem "murdering".
Les has never pretended to be an anarcho-capitalist libertarian and so, yeah, this whole no regulation argument is yet another straw-man.......Off the rails for certain.
ReplyDeleteWill... I can't recall seeing anyone around here arguing for no regulations, can you?
ReplyDeleteLet me think here, uh, NO.
DeleteOff the Rails Straw Man Alert!... dmarks says zero regulations could be the only way we'd get pink slime... yet we already have it. Will says that by using the term "Libertarians" I was specifically referring to RN, even though RN never said where he stands in regards to pink slime.
ReplyDeleteAnd one would surely not have to be an "anarcho-capitalist" to be in favor of regulation that would prohibit pink slime. If that's what it took, it would not being sold now, as there are zero anarcho-capitalists in Congress that I am aware of.
Also, not sure how it's "ignorant" for me to personally not want to ever hunt. I will admit to some hyperbole in using the word "murder". Not sure what else I'm being "ignorant" in regards to.
You seem to be confused. An anarcho-capitalist would not be in favor of ANY regulation and would have the people who are harmed (or offended) by the pink slime to sue the perpetrators of it.
DeleteMr. Sanders paraphrased me with the following statement: ""dmarks says zero regulations could be the only way we'd get pink slime"
ReplyDeleteThis is a figment of pure imagination, a leap of logic (or of something else). Nowhere did I say anything like this.
Perfect description for your's and Will's comments. You said I implied (?) RN was arguing for no regulations, which is a figment of pure imagination, a leap of logic (or of something else). Nowhere did I say anything like this.
DeleteHowever we perceive it, 'lean finely textured beef', 'soylent pink' or 'assholes & eyelids', is non-toxic,
ReplyDeletenutritious....and disgusting. That particular market became quickly depressed, one of those free market oddities like the current fracking craze: the price of crude has declined to the extent that the
industry is looking at cutting back on drilling, not because of toxic groundwater, or increased earthquake activity, but because increased productivity has resulted in decreased profit..
'Now, got eat some lentils.'....boy, lemmee tell you, dem Lentils are hard to kill!!!! 'specially the way they dart out in the highway....gollee, had to swerve several times just to hit them. Personally do not hunt.....cept for the best price on tap beer. But, and lemmee tell you about deer in Wisco.....estimate of population is @2MM.....enough to populate all of Ebola...and it doesn't count the illegal deer that immigrate from Minnesotoes
ReplyDeleteI heard the Wisconsin wolves ate all the Wisconsin deer...and are going after Minnesota gophers these days.
Deletesheesh....Devishious is being deliberately off topic, out of line, obtuse...oh, who cares.
ReplyDeleteAnd sheesh.. a man goes on a hunting trip, and he is insulted with intended (but still completely ridiculous) hyperbole and the swerves go wildy off topic.
ReplyDeleteI insulted RN? Even though I didn't say anything about RN at all, but only mentioned that I personally don't like hunting? Sure... or "sheesh".
Deleteya, ana, get this....no matter how many gophers you run over.....well do the math, you still cannot make Pi

DeleteHa....vote early, drink often....and then go home. Was invited to the local Dem gathering......but it didna start until after the polls close. Told them I have a perfectly good clothes pole at home, thank you very much. and I prefer headphones....least I disturb the cockroaches in the next apartment.
ReplyDelete"... cockroaches in the next apartment."
ReplyDeleteAre you implying a tea bagger infestation next door okjimm?
a real one. 6'2", 400 lbs of mostly unbathed. flesh. Landlord has been, ah, informed. I think his political affiliation is the Domino's extra cheese caucus. Long story.
ReplyDeleteClearly the Great Unwashed. And to make it worse, he is a connoisseur of pizza that even the company that sells it says is crap.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure it's a long story,OKJimm... but I'm also sure worse and longer stories have been told in comments here than anything you might say.
