Are We Americans Capable of Entering Into Rational, Honest, and Productive Discusion Over Sensitive Matters?...
Rape - The crime of rape generally refers to non-consensual sexual intercourse that is committed by physical force , threat of injury, or other duress. Common law defined rape as unlawful intercourse by a man against a woman who is not his wife by force or threat and against her will. A sexual predator is a person seen as obtaining or trying to obtain sexual contact with another person in a metaphorically predatory or abusive manner. Pedophilia is considered a paraphilia, an "abnormal or unnatural attraction." Pedophilia is defined as the fantasy or act of sexual activity with prepubescent children. Pedophiles are usually men, and can be attracted to either or both sexes. How well they relate to adults of the opposite sex varies. Sexual harassment is bullying or coercion of a sexual nature, or the unwelcome or inappropriate promise of rewards in exchange for sexual favors. In most modern legal contexts, sexual harassment is illegal. As defined by th
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

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
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

It's Going To Be Close, Brace Yourself For Continued Polarization of America, Especially if Obama Loses...
by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Liberty -vs- Tyranny The race is close, very close, with the momentum shifting to Romney. However, my take is the shift, as significant as it has been, came too late and too little. Progressives no doubt are biting their nails because as much as they prefer not to acknowledge it, this one is a real cliff hanger. Reminiscent of 2000. It is true if Obama loses this one progressives throughout the land will be wailing and gnashing their teeth. For them it will be a great undoing of their greatest hopes and dreams. Of course the other fifty percent of America will view it quite differently. So, as the polls close tomorrow, and the tabulating of the vote goes late into the night, we can be sure of a few thing... The nation will remain polarized, the puppet masters behind the curtains will continue calling the shots, the debt and deficits will continue, no mater who wins. And America will continue to ask why. Tomorrow, as I visit my polli

Artur Davis Calls Biden Remarks 'Racial Visiousness'...
by: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Liberty -vs- Tyranny Artur Davis, articulate, intelligent, honest, and spot on in his criticism of both Vice President Joe (Dufus) Biden and President Obama. ( CNN ) - Artur Davis, the former four-term Democratic congressman from Alabama, said Wednesday that Vice President Joe Biden was propagating "racial viciousness" when he said Mitt Romney's regulatory policies would "put y'all back in chains." Biden made the comments Tuesday to a predominantly black crowd in Danville, Virginia, a city with a long history of racial tension. In May Davis announced he was switching to the GOP, leaving the door open to a future political bid as a Republican. Skip Davis, who is black, said the comment smacked of a type of divisiveness he said was all too common in the South. "It brought back memories for me," Davis told Wolf Blitzer on CNN's "The Situation Room." "It brought back memories of th

ReplyDeleteTrump declaring fraud, Barr backing him, Putin sending help and the evangelicals
urging Democrats-Lock Them Up? Wouldn't surprise me..not anymore.
Nothing suprises me in the age of chaotic confusion and trumpism deludions BB Idaho. Nothing at all.
DeleteDon't count the chickens too early RN... across the rust belt and in Florida, the GOP is killing the Dems with New Registered Voters.
ReplyDeleteHere's the numbers... Florida +100K, PA +60K, North Carolina +40K. Last election, HRC won black women at a 98-1 margin. Now? 92-6 in polling. Black and Latino men are going Trump in bigger numbers than 2016.
All to say, they sky is not falling for Dems, but the race is tightening and if a challenger is going to win and beat an incumbent, he's got to win big. Carter won by 50 electoral votes, Reagan by over 400, Clinton by 200...
Oh I'm not counting chickens Dave.
DeleteHowever, I do believe that a clear majority of Americans realize trump is a disaster for America as well as the world. During any prior time in our history trump would likely be defeated in a landslide. Today is not a normal time in our history.
If all folks that believe trump is wrong for America VOTE trump will lose. It remains to be seen whether they turn out in sufficient enough numbers to effect a trump loss.
I merely post the possible for encouragement. That and it is an opportunity to feel hopeful for a brief moment. A welcome breif moment to interrupt the pervasive dispair that trump offers daily.
America is smarter and better than trump and his administration. November 3, 2020 is the time to PROVE IT.
Here in bright red Idaho, there is an encouraging trend. Over 10,000 mostly GOP women who
Deletevoted Trump first time around, have started a facebook group in support of Biden. They,
including the wife of a GOP state legislator, claim their cause, despite their strong
support for Right To Life, and the judges they thought Trump would appoint, state that
although they hold their values on that, human dignity is more important. ..they note
that Trump lacks in that common asset. If red Idaho is trending.....?
It looks like some of the sleeping trump sheeple are waking up. A very good thing. I hope the numbers grow and the wake up isn't too late. We'll soon know. Although trump will not go done quietly and peacefully if he loses IMO.
DeleteLet's hope election day is a good day for America, and Trump is not reelected. I mean, by his own words, he knows nothing about a perverse cult all over the news in America, doesn't know when he's tested for Covid, retweets stories from satirical sites as truth and then is mad when he's called on it. By his own words he disqualifies himself because he's either too stupid to know better, or is lying.
ReplyDeleteOf course, no conservative, troll or not, will proffer a real response, because they all know the truth, the truth that Senator Ben Sasse shared in a recent erified conference call...
"The way he kisses dictators' butts. I mean, the way he ignores that the Uyghurs are in literal concentration camps in Xinjiang right now. He hasn't lifted a finger on behalf of the Hong Kongers. The United States now regularly sells out our allies under his leadership. The way he treats women and spends like a drunken sailor. The ways I criticized President (Barack) Obama for that kind of spending I've criticized President Trump for as well. He mocks evangelicals behind closed doors. His family has treated the presidency like a business opportunity. He's flirted with White supremacists..."
Here's what Sasse said about Trump's handling of Covid...
"The reality is that he careened from curb to curb. First, he ignored Covid. And then he went into full economic shutdown mode. He was the one who said 10 to 14 days of shutdown would fix this, and that was always wrong... So I don't think the way he's led through Covid has been reasonable or responsible or right."
Now people can attack Sasse, but I'll wait to see if any conservatives offer a defense that refutes the points Sasse made. And that's the real question... can anyone in the GOP credibly refute Sasse?
RN, don't get me wrong, I'm no Sasse fan. To me, he's an opportunist posturing for the 2024 election. If he believes what he said on that call, why didn't he say it in the primary when he was challenged? Because he would have lost his primary. He's trying to have his cake and eat it too. He needs to be asked if he just came to this realization, or if he's held this belief for awhile.
And if he's held it for awhile, why didn't he say something, or go public before?
We need some serving GOP members to step up and publicly say what Sasse would only say in private. So that on November 4, we can once again say "It's morning in America!"
With rare exception there no longer exists republicans in office at the federal level with any integrity IMO. They've been lying for so long it is natural for them at this point. I'm not sorry I cut no republican any slack whatsoever. They simply deserve none IMO.
DeleteWhen and if republicans regain some self respect, once again put country ahead of party and its leader, return to acting fiscally responsible (Ike comes to mind), and start to respect ALL Americans regardless of their race or sexual orientation I will acknowledge we truly have achieved morning in America. As long as there is darkness he sun cannot really shine through.
Given that he failed by quite a bit to win the popular vote first time
ReplyDeletearound, and that he has not added to his base (maybe has some women, older
and younger 'trumpists' souring on his baseless rage) he will not win that.
So the key is the swing states and they are looking more and more iffy for
him. Now a 'Stable Genius' would concede, offer transition help and make a
show of at least minimal unity, it is hard to say what an 'unstable nitwit'
would do.
I'm keeping my fingers and toes crossed but given the nefarious mind of trump I'm sure he's working on many monkey wrenches to toss into the working of the system if it appears he's losing.
DeleteI do not trust the bastard or his sycophants or the court.
