Musings on the
Week
October 13, 2018
Future – "Let us not seek the Republican answer or the Democratic
answer, but the right answer. Let
us not seek to fix blame for the past.
Let us accept our own responsibility for the future." John F. Kennedy.
Politics – Psychology explains Democrats
behavior as “projection” of their own evil
character traits on those they oppose (Republicans) and then believe their own lies (“Mythomania”).
Politics - ACORN’s
former staffers and chapters
have found a new home within a left-leaning network of progressive activists
that includes the nonprofit Center for Popular
Democracy, Action for the Common Good and
the Center for Popular Democracy Action Fund.
Politics – Identity politics pits one
group against another for political gain, now progressive
ACRONYM is even inciting resentment from younger voters against senior citizens.
Politics – Among the general population,
a full 80% believe that “political correctness is a problem in our country”
undermining understanding and cooperation.
Politics – Fifty years after left wing
riots during the Chicago Democratic National Convention handed an election
issue and victory to Richard M. Nixon, the
Left has handed a similar opportunity to President
Trump in his efforts to maintain control of the House of Representatives
and enhance the GOP Senate majority.
Politics – Democrats
completely misjudged the American people
who were capable of seeing through the vicious attacks on Brett Kavanaugh to see a smear of an
innocent man.
Politics – The confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh marked the return of the hysterical
cry-baby, sore-losers who refuse to accept the new Supreme Court Justice or
Trump
as President.
Politics – The left
doesn't have a problem with partisans on the high court; it has a problem with our
partisans on the high court, and It doesn't object to
putting flawed men into power; it just
doesn't want our flawed men in power.
Politics – The Kavanaugh vote confirmed that Democrat Senators vote in
lockstep who
judge Republicans as guilty until proven innocent and loyal to their party before
their nation.
Politics – The attempted political
assassination of Brett Kavanaugh has triggered an
epiphany for NeverTrump “conservatives”
that Trump is the only bulwark between us and a
leftist junta intent on annihilating everything we value and anyone who
gets in their way.
Politics – The Left’s
quest for power includes dismantling those parts of the Constitution they
can’t control, such as the Electoral College, the Senate, and the
Supreme Court.
Politics – The American
Left has completely lost any sense of humor, because things that used to
be funny are now micro-aggressions or triggers, cultural appropriation or
racist.
Politics – The longer Hillary Clinton remains the Democrats’
idea of a standard-bearer:
inept, foolhardy, dismissive of reality, blind to appearances, deaf to lessons,
alien to the heartland, and contemptuous of the voters, the better off Republicans are.
Politics – President Trump knows the cure for Trump Derangement Syndrome: deliver on your promises,
unleash the American economy, and restore global respect and leadership.
Politics – It all seems so familiar,
pundits on television telling us in unison it a near
certainty that a blue wave is coming to return Democrats to power in the
Congress – Remember 2016!
Media – The establishment media
vastly out-funds and out-mans alternative media, but alternative
media still kicks their candy asses because truth
and decency always wins out.
Media – If your primary source of
news is the liberal mainstream media or the biased social media, it is no surprise you suffer from fact deprivation exposed to at
most half the truth.
Media – The Progressive
Left cannot win on issues, so it resorts to paid
partisan puppets posing as protestors staging
childish tantrums creating “viral moments” to sell its narrative.
Truth – "The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie, deliberate, contrived and dishonest, but the myth, persistent, persuasive and unrealistic.” John F. Kennedy.
Economy – Every time a
country starts down the socialism path, it fails as we have seen in Venezuela, Brazil,
Argentina, Bolivia, Ecuador, El Salvador, Chile, Nicaragua and Uruguay.
Economy – The
Mercatus Center at George Mason University has ranked
states based on five measures of their financial condition: cash solvency, budget
solvency, ability to meet long-term spending
commitments, state spending and taxes as a share of personal income, and
unfunded pension liabilities and debt.
Census – The citizenship question is
required to provide the Commerce Department a reliable
calculation of the citizen voting-age population required by the Voting Rights
Act.
Business – Corporate Social Responsibility diverts critical resources to Social Justice programs and policies that contribute little to profitability and can harm their market performance.
Immigration – Only a person granted the
status of “permanent legal resident”
by federal law can be considered an immigrant, since all other aliens, including
foreign tourists, foreign students, and illegal aliens are considered temporary
visitors who can leave any time.
Energy – The ethanol
mandate doesn’t boost efficiency, harmful to engines, and pollutes the
air, so why is the federal government looking to boost ethanol in gas
rather than stopping it?
Environment – Climate
change is a political hoax: rampant scientific fraud, concealment of
contrarian views, wildly inaccurate predictions, and concealment of
inconvenient history.
Feminism – The current
radical feminist platform, “I am
woman, hear me roar” has mutated into screeching,
man-hating, eternal victimhood that can be exploited for political gain.
Feminism – Our booze-fueled hook-up
culture has made relations between men and women messy, leaving many girls and
women with pangs of regret, but this does not equal rape.
Civil Rights – Identity politics created hyper-sensitive snowflakes who
have turned communications into a minefield of “hidden meanings” in innocent words
or phrases.
Peace – “Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make
violent revolution inevitable.” John
F. Kennedy.
GWOT – The war in the Middle East is
marked by country theaters, each treated as a separate
“war,” with changing definitions of success and a lack of pragmatic
exit strategies.
