This Is What It Has Come To...

Rational Nation U S A Purveyor of Truth Some call this free protected political speech. The rest of us call it moronic, over the top, inflammatory, dangerous, and indicative of what the NRA and rightwing idiots work hard at convincing other idiots that it represents patriotism. They are very sick indeed. A Florida gun shop owner who made news last year when he banned Muslims from his store is now selling targets at his location and online featuring the faces of President Barack Obama and 2016 Democratic presidential nomination rivals Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton. Last July, Florida Gun Supply owner Andy Hallinan announced on YouTube that he would refuse service to anyone he suspected of being a Muslim who entered his store. “I have a moral and legal responsibility to ensure the safety of all patriots in my community, and so effective immediately, I’m declaring Florida Gun Supply as a Muslim-free zone,” he said before adding. “I will not arm and train those who wish t...

As Trump Pushes America Closer To Fascism...

Image
Rational Nation U S A Purveyor of Truth Having read with great interest Professor Leonard Piekoff 's 1982 book The Ominous Parallels it has been clear, at least to me, the United States of America has in fact been trending towards a more state controlled fascistic economic and political system for many years. While one can make the observation and assertion, with some validity, that the liberal left bears some responsibility for this trend, given todays political reality it is virtually impossible to not recognize the political right is pushing America towards fascism at an almost breakneck speed. Republican (presumptive) presidential nominee Donald J. Trump (Drumpf) is the natural result of the rightwing's long march towards acceptance of fascism in America. Certainly the signs are many, for anyone truly interested and paying attention to both history and the current political environment that has lead to the rise of Trump. Take the time to read the following linked...

Rational Nation U S A Purveyor of Truth As we prepare for the Memorial Day weekend of picnics, and time away from work for many, please take a moment to reflect on the meaning of and reason for this holiday. A time for remembrance. A time to honor, And, a time for contemplation. As civilized as we like to believe we are the historical record of man's existence suggests otherwise.

Awful Choice Of Clinton v. Trump Leaves Opening For Minor Party Candidates

Rational Nation U S A Purveyor of Truth Today's posted article was found on Liberal Values , a blog billed as being dedicated to Defending Liberty and Enlightened Thought . As the blog proprietor specifically encourages sharing of his article we decided to post it here, in it's entirety with proper attribution. We found the article to be thought provoking and aligned with much of our thinking on the 2016 major party top candidates. Enjoy the article. This year the “presumptive” nominee from each of the major political parties is so awful that it hardly makes sense to throw away one’s vote on them if the general election is between Clinton and Trump. While each has advantages and disadvantages over the other, either way we will see the continuation of the warfare/surveillance state regardless of which is elected. The unpopularity of both candidates in recent polls does bolster Sanders’ argument for the superdelegates to support him at the convention, but looking at it...

Senator Rand Paul Dead On...

'One generation cannot bind another generation to perpetual war' Rational Nation U S A Purveyor of Truth Thank you Senator Rand Paul. You, like your father before you, understands we should be engaging in military action only when there exists a direct threat to the United States of America and only when the Congress of the United States approves of such action. There is a reasons our Founding Fathers warned against foreign entanglement. Reasons that obviously have escaped the understanding of present day politicians and demagogues. Simply put, todays neocons have effectively trashed the notion that there are simply things the USA has no GD'ed business in sticking it's nose into. By sticking our nose (along with the nose of Great Britain) into the affairs of sovereign middle eastern nations to further our own "self interests" is precisely the reason the world faces the global terrorist threat it does today. This president has now been at war lo...
