Is Our Democratic Republic At Risk From Forces Both Foreign and Within?...
We are moving this running post up to front page this evening where it will remain until January 3'rd 2017 when we will return to single posts, hopefully on a daily basis. There is much to do in getting the TRUTH out about Donald J Trump, a dishonest, totally self absorbed, and dangerous individual. He may be the president on January 20th but that does not mean thoughtful and concerned people shouldn't challenge Trump at every turn and fight his agenda whenever it runs contrary to their interests and those of their family. More to come. BTW, be sure to read today's entry, 12/28/16, below. this is just one example AND, it is just the beginning. You've probably noticed the brief posts of late. Posts with very short commentary by the weblolg administrator followed by an article that goes into the subject in much greater detail. This has been done purposefully following the rancorous 2016 election, and because its Christmas Time, soon to be a New Year. This posting f...

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 ...

The "Scandal" That Won't Go Away...
by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Lib erty -vs- Tyr anny CBS - Obama administration officials who were in key positions on Sept. 11, 2012, acknowledge that a range of mistakes were made the night of the attacks on the U.S. missions in Benghazi, and in messaging to Congress and the public in the aftermath. The officials spoke to CBS News in a series of interviews and communications under the condition of anonymity so that they could be more frank in their assessments. They do not all agree on the list of mistakes and it's important to note that they universally claim that any errors or missteps did not cost lives and reflect "incompetence rather than malice or cover up." Nonetheless, in the eight months since the attacks, this is the most sweeping and detailed discussion by key players of what might have been done differently. "We're portrayed by Republicans as either being lying or idiots," said one Obama administration official who was part...
How A Nation Can and Does Change...
by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation U S A Lib e rty -vs- Tyr a nny "Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every kingdom of Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any band of regular troops that can be, on any pretence, raised in the United States." –Noah Webster, An Examination of the Leading Principles of the Federal Constitution, 1787 That was then. In an interview with the Daily Times Herald in Carroll, Iowa, state Rep. Dan Muhlbauer said governments should start confiscating semi-automatic rifles and other firearms. Muhlbauer, a Democrat from the western Iowa town of Manilla, is a cattleman and farmer. The newspaper reported that he owns a .410 shotgun, a .22 rifle and a .22 pistol. “We cannot have big guns out here as far as the big guns that are out here, the semi-automatics and all of th...

And so, he was elected to the most powerful job in the world...
I wouldn't be surprised if he's the nominee in the end.
ReplyDeleteJMJ
I would be actually. He's way too sane for the current tea-publican base. Hell, even Jeb, the once assumed certain nominee can't get any traction.
ReplyDeleteIt is the more right-wing primary voters who will turn out in droves that will ultimately ďecige the parties nominee.
I like Kasich too. He is even too sane for the far left progressives who support Sanders and the Hillary supporters who only want to see a woman get in,regardless that she is just another lying ignoramus
ReplyDelete"...just another lying ignoramus." Writes the woman who believes in "false facts," and hosts boys on her blog who refer to Mr and Mrs Obama in the most sickening racist teams. Then she calls libruls racist ? Jeebus! How does anyone who supports racist scum like RRand RS deserve anything other than contempt for her disgusting support of KKK racism? Possibly she's not aware of her boyfriends' bigotry? Nah. She lets their fetid hatred of African Americans ( only if they're liberals) onto her blog because she agrees with their slime. She is the Queen of Porn and racist grung after all Racism for libruls = Good, but not good for Kindly Dr Ben Goofy.
DeleteLisa is not one for facts and specifics seem difficult for her. It is far easier for her to simply bark ignoramus than to outline what it is that leads her to
Deletebelieve so. Your judgement of her weblog content and
the character of some of her regular low life visitors is spot on. Lisa, for whatever the reason refuses to recognize how her providing a platform and support for them reflects on her.
Lisa is appreciative of one of the GOP candidates pointing out how Looney the other candidates are? As for Dems wanting a woman to get in even if she's a lying ignoramus... Democrats will not vote for Carly Fiorina!
ReplyDeleteAnd democrats would vote for Hillary over Kasich.
DeleteHe has no chance because he makes to much sense. You do give the fringe right (tparty) too much credit for carrying the party. Neither the tparty or the fringe left (progressives) will decide the election. It is the independent voter who will carry the water. Unfortunately their choice will be hillary and who ever the GOP sanctifies. I am waiting for a chance to vote for someone instead of against the other. That hasn't happened in decades.
ReplyDeleteYes, independents hold the key. They usually do and generally they use their head to vote as they lack the partisan ideological lockbox mentality of the tea-publicans and some establishment GOP.
DeleteDems have their problems as well. But at this juncture in our history the repubs present the greatest threat to our freedom and civil liberties. IMEO.
Yes, independents hold the key.
DeleteUntrue. According to the nonpartisan Center for Politics, "research by political scientists on the American electorate has consistently found that the large majority of self-identified independents are 'closet partisans' who think and vote much like other partisans. Independent Democrats and independent Republicans have little in common. Moreover, independents with no party preference have a lower rate of turnout than those who lean toward a party and typically make up less than 10% of the electorate. Finally, independents don’t necessarily determine the outcomes of presidential elections; in fact, in all three closely contested presidential elections since 1972, the candidate backed by most independent voters lost".
Interesting study. Rather pointless because if the research is valid nuttin is gonna change and we all might as well have a beer and read the comic strips.
DeleteI would not disagree that both sides come at what is good for the nation from different approaches.
ReplyDeleteThere are extremists on both sides as there always has been. There are also smart reasonable people on both sides and they have difficulty raising above the roar.
If you look at the candidates in both parties. Every one of the candidates on the GOP side preached creating jobs and providing opportunities. Both the candidates on the democrat side preach give away's . Sanders is in the race so he can bring the democrat nominee further left.
With the robust economy created by the current administration, are you really ready for a continuation of the same. I would like to see my kids prosper and not live off the labor of others.
If threat to freedom means gutting obamacare and giving people a chance to advance there lives, I guess I have to lean that way.
I look at empirical data in full over the past 50 years and republican claims do not align with reality. The economy and the middle class does better under democratic oversight. Not an opinion but fact.
DeleteOpportunity is created when there is demand for goods and services. Jobs provide the means to secure desired goods and services. So yes, good paying jobs are definitely a necessary. Hint, tax breaks for the wealthy and multi billion dollar companies does not result in job creation, contrary to popular myth.
The "give away meme" is growing old and tiresome. But if you are talking about corporatism, crony capitalism, lobbyist influence, special subsidies, corporate welfare I agree. Time to put a stop to it.
Gut Obamacare, something I did not support, and replace it with what? A return to the old broken system? What? How about some ideas skudrunner.
The plutocrats and oligarchs, often in cahoots have been very successful in duping loads and loads of Americans. CU was of great help to them. As are the Super Pacs.
According to some, democrats 50 years ago weren't really democrats so who do we credit?
ReplyDeleteHow about opening up health insurance across state lines and providing subsidies for premiums for the poor. Tort reform to reduce the cost associated with healthcare. Allowing small businesses to provide assistance to their employees paying for healthcare insurance instead of making it impossible. Tax deductible health savings accounts to offset medical costs, of course you would have to work to do this.
The leftist talk about tax breaks for the wealthy is growing old and tired. BTW, how many jobs are going to be created if taxes on the "rich" is raised? The burdensome tax system makes it beneficial for the wealthy because they can shelter income and investments. How about tax reform, a consistent buzz word with no action. Agree with corporate cronyism and lobbyist but BHO is not going to allow lobbyist so that problem is taken care of.
What we need are more degrees in transgender relations paid for by the taxpayer and fewer machinists. This is the democrat idea that is resonating with their supporters.
Shrugs.
DeleteOMG, skud has a health plan ... with subsidies for the poor ... and "free stuff" too ... OMG!
DeleteHow many jobs will be created if taxes on the rich are raised? Lots and lots because then the goobermint will ... finally ... be able to balance the books while lowering taxes on the middle class which will boost discretionary consumer spending. Hot diggity!
May the Great and Mighty Cthulhu shed His grace on thee and and drown these hoods for the common good ... from sea to shining sea!
ReplyDeleteSo no ideas either, got it. Seems to be the democrat mantra.
ReplyDeleteMore government, raise taxes,provide no new ideas and remember more Free Stuff.
Like legs said, democrats are the same from sea to shining sea
You should write a book skudrunner. Maybe you could interest Lisa in being a co-author. You could title it "How To Be a Proud Tea Party Stalwart.... All Bull All the Time".
DeleteSkud... To change the insurance laws in this country to sell across state lines would take congress passing a law that usurps states rights.
ReplyDeleteHow do you see that happening? The Dems might actually support, but would the GOP? Of course not...
How do you see that getting through the house?
Very good question Dave. I looked but cannot find the democrat support for selling across state lines but there are several articles with republicans supporting it. Could you post a link to the democrat support.
ReplyDeleteI was asked to give ideas by les and I did. His response was to chide me, not unusual for a yellow dog democrat, but I didn't catch his or your ideas.
If you have no answer, insult, call them racist or silly but, like your candidate, never answer a question.
BTW RN, if Lisa wants to co-author a book, I am all in although that is not a catchy title so it would need work.
ReplyDeleteskudrunner & Dave - Link to NAIC that addresses the issue of interstate insurance from one perspective. It is likely why skudrunner couldn't find democrats who support interstate health insurance.
What would you expect a lobbing group to say? Your reference is an article put out by the lobbyists for insurance commissioners trying to protect their job. You know you can do better and this still does not address Dave's question or my response.
ReplyDeleteThe "selling across state lines" thing is a ploy by the insurance companies who all want to move to the state with the least restrictions. It's about escaping regulation, not about lowering prices. We need to start with a public option and eventually transition to single payer.
ReplyDeleteI looked but cannot find the democrat support for selling across state lines but there are several articles with republicans supporting it.
ReplyDeleteMy link was simply to suggest why you didn't find dems supporting your unsubstantiated claim. i am sure you can do a better job scudrunner.
There is a myriad of articles on the subject if one wishes to research the issue. You're more than welcome to do so and get back to us skudrunner, preferably with specific and verifiable data on why this is a good idea. You may use special interest groups or lobbyists if you choose and provide a link. Otherwise STFU.
