Musings on the Week
August 18, 2018
Gun Control – “Oppressors can tyrannize only when they achieve a
standing army, an enslaved press, and a disarmed populace." James
Madison.
Politics – Claims
of monstrous collusion between Russian officials and U.S. political operatives
were true, but it wasn't Donald Trump who was guilty of Russian
collusion, it was Hillary
Clinton and U.S. intelligence officials who worked with Russians and others
to entrap Trump.
Politics – The Obama Presidential
Center is nothing more than a personal monument to Barack Obama and a center for political indoctrination in his
radical views, since presidential papers will not be housed there and no
resources provided for scholar investigation.
Politics – The Democrat
“progressive elite” is
not tolerant, because it resorts to fascism to suppress
contrary ideas and falsifying history to support their flawed narratives.
Politics – Democrats are
doubling down on their failed strategy,
after backing an unlikable, unaccomplished, unelectable presidential candidate,
they now embrace failed socialist economic ideas banking
on enough leftist “useful idiots” and uninformed millennials to suspend disbelief and vote for Democrat
candidates in the November elections.
Politics – As the Democrat Party lurches to the Left, it is losing more and more of its core constitutents:
Blacks, Hispanics, women, etc. who do not share its radical, divisive hatred.
Culture – Progressives (regressives)
have been educating (indoctrinating) our
American children for decades, inculcating (forcing) ideas such as political correctness (approved speech),
globalism (one
world government), global warming/climate change (redistribution of
wealth), income equality (confiscation of wealth), resistance (anarchy),
social justice (reverse
discrimination), and tolerance (intolerance).
Media – The smear-attack
on Congressman Jim Jordan is another example of the left’s personal
destruction machine producing manufactured fake news
for political reasons.
Media – The media,
particularly NBC and CNN, are celebrating the anniversary of last year’s
Charlottesville riot,
but the only people who care are a handful of neo-Nazis, and the journalists
who amplify them in an effort to tarnish the White House, boost
Democrats’ election prospects, smear conservative media, and vent their
contempt for America.
Media – Journo-list was the
first proof point of the mainstream media selling out to the Democrat Party, and now a coordinated nationwide
campaign to publish anti-Trump editorials, all condemning the president for his
attacks on the press.
Gun Control – “A free people ought not only to be
armed and disciplined, but they should have sufficient ammunition to maintain a
status of independence from any who might attempt to abuse them, which would
include their own government.” George Washington.
Economy – Democrats are desperate to
rewrite history to credit Obama, instead of Trump,
for the historic economic recovery that occurred when Trump reversed Obama’s policies.
Economy – Man with a hammer sees every
problem as something to be hit, socialists see every
problem needing big government, even problems CREATED by the government.
Regulations – President Trump is already achieving his
deregulation goals,
saving over $1.308 billion from 47 separate deregulation actions which contributes
to the economic boom.
Money – Bitcoin is still a total
disaster
masquerading as a currency hiding behind a façade of “block
chain” technology, but remains pure speculation
with no underlying value.
Finance – Inequality is not a
problem so long as economic mobility exists and people at the bottom can still
work hard to get ahead
and ultimately achieve their dreams..
Land Management – USDA Forest Service abandoned
the time-proven forest management practices embracing the flawed “no use movement”
or the “rewilding” theory, but ignored “natural” forest fires that occur as an
unforeseen consequence.
Healthcare – Euthanasia (doctor takes the lead) and physician-assisted suicide (doctor stands by and
helps out) are becoming legalized in more and more
places globally.
Immigration – Immigration is
about making your country better,
but it has to be controlled and regulated, and can be a good thing but it has to serve your nation's long term interests.
Elections – Old Dominion University studied
the 2016 election concluding more than 6% of adults, non-citizens and living in
the U.S. likely voted in 2016, over 1 million illegally
cast votes.
Civil Rights – Racism is racism,
no matter if the perpetrator is white, black or whatever, since it is a worldview
that influences thinking, words and actions each with its own consequences.
Civil Rights – The Justice
Department will no longer partner with SDLC and other groups that “unfairly defame
Americans” and profiting off anxieties and white guilt of
Northern liberals.
Crime – There are a sizable number of non-dangerous, nonviolent offenders who
would be better off outside prisons and in programs designed to change
their life direction.
Marriage – Marxism considers
marriage an institution that must be destroyed, since procreant marriage with all its
attendant responsibilities is the foundation of bourgeois society.
Sexism – “Sexism” is an epithet
of the social-political Left which allows them to characterize,
and unjustly discriminate, against those that seek objective competition in a
free market.
Abortion – Misunderstood in all the
controversy is the fact that reversing Roe-vs.-Wade
would not ban abortions, but would instead return abortion policy to the
individual states.
Religion – It should not be a surprise
that the Catholic Church, in its haste to
replenish retiring priests, opened up its seminaries to
homosexuals is now plagued with pedophile priests.
Gun Control – “When the
people fear the government, there is tyranny. When the government fears the people,
there is liberty." Thomas Jefferson.
Foreign Aid – The USAID
Climate Change Strategy is a green cancer that is eco-imperialist,
carbon colonialist and callously inhumane denying the
right to access modern energy, agricultural, disease control and other
technologies that create the jobs, living standard, leisure time, health,
prosperity and longevity that developed nations enjoy.
GWOT – Islam has been
continuously in a war of conquest since 636 AD, so any thoughts that this war only started in
2001 is nonsensical and global defeat unachievable in the near term.
Turkey – President Erdogan has reversed Turkey’s half century of
progress and returned to its Ottoman roots,
with schools, courts, legislature, and military remade as tools of Islamism.
