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...

Laozi: 'When you let go of what you are, you become what you might be' When fascism came to America it came clutching a bible and waving the flag. On January 20, 2025. Israel in the present time is a state engaging in state terrorism against the Palestinian population of Gaza. The Zionist genocide of Palestinians is ungodly, un-Christian, and in every way horrific evil. For Evangelical Christians, Christian Nationalists and MAGA who apparently know nothing of Jesus of Nazareth's position on wealth : Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God. "A ll worldly pursuits have but one unavoidable and inevitable end, which is sorrow; acquisitions end in dispersion; buildings in destruction; meetings in separation; births in death.

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 ...
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...
Open Thread On the SOTU Address, So Lets Mix It Up!...
Rational Nation USA Purveyor of Truth Tonight is open thread comment night here at Rational Nation USA with respect to the SOTU address. On the heels of the President's SOTU address last night, one in which the President laid out his progressive agenda for the remainder of his presidency, there is much for the advocates and the naysayers to "crow" about or "bitch" about. In this writer's view the speech was superbly delivered with some interesting ideas yet substance with respect to just how the nation is to pay for his aggressive progressive agenda was in short supply. In fairness to the President such is almost always the case. The video, a highly truncated "sound bite" of the full SOTU address, along with the quoted text from VOX should provide sufficient impetus to get the juices and comments flowing. 1) The most striking sentence in President Obama's 2015 State of the Union came near the start: "Tonight, we turn the page....
Rep. Louie and the Fear Propagators ...
by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Lib erty -vs- Tyr anny Louie Gohmert - One Scary Idiot As it goes Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) is one slightly unbalanced and therefore rather disturbing individual. His "way out in left field" claim that President Obama's administration has Muslim Brotherhood members is, IMNHO opinion based on one of two things. The fact "good ole Louie" is incapable of accepting we have a mixed race President, or he is simply stirring the pot of fear. Much like Senator McCarthy did in a bygone era. In either case he is doing a great disservice to the American public. As a fiscally conservative social Libertarian I challenge the fear mongering right to provide some significant evidence in support of the delusions they would have us all accept as factual reality. TPM - Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) went after the Obama administration's handling of the Boston Marathon bombing investigation in a radio interview Thursday -- and alon...
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...

Have fun!

Thanks Jersey.
ReplyDeleteThere is an online edition of our local newspaper where the following exchange took place (I thought you might find this interesting):
ReplyDeleteANTHONY IOVINE - Today at 12:40 PM
"Your last sentence is absolutely ludicrous. What you said was that "EVERYONE" who supports a lunatic as Trump has no moral backbone. Isn't that the same as saying that everyone who supports that "PATHOLOGICAL LIAR" Hillary has no moral backbone also."
(O)CT(O)PUS - Today at 1:23 PM
" Mr. Iovine,
An interesting point you raise. So I surfed the Internet to check the facts - the percentage of true versus false statements made by Trump and Clinton respectively - and this is what I found (as reported by PolitiFact.com):
True statements — Clinton 16, Trump 4
Mostly true statements — Clinton 48, Trump 10
False statements — Clinton 15, Trump 65
Pants on fire statements - Clinton 1, Trump 30
Here are the overall rating as provided by PolitiFact.com:
Donald Trump — False 60.13 of the time, True 2.53% of the time
Hillary Clinton — False 13.33 of the time, True 13.33 of the time
So it appears Donald Trump is the “pathological liar” as well as the lunatic. Thus, on both measures, Donald Trump has no moral backbone."
(Whether this lets air out of the buffoon's balloon is another)
In my opinion (O)CT(O)PUS it will have zero effect on the Trumpian buffoon or anyone else that prefers truthiness to actual acts. unfortunately...
ReplyDeleteThe above should read..
ReplyDeleteTo actual facts .
That aside, I just finished watching a Hannity segment on Faux News with Gingrich, Trump, Walker, Giuliani, and the favorite Milwaukee sheriff. The untruths and hypocrisy was glaring. But the audience ate it up. Therr remains little credibility left in the GOP.
Unfortunately the democratic party and HRC have a credibility problem as well. However, it hasn't reached the magnitude of the GOP and the rightwing yet.
2016 will be a year to remember. If Trump wins and his "vision" becomes reality we will have lost our democratic republic. Likely for good.
Back this Friday or Saturday.
