The sporadic musings of a middle aged man who isn't exactly happy with the direction America is taking today....

Compromise is losing...
~~~~~~
One small bit at a time.
I still have that feeling that this won't end well.

Friday thoughts...
Free people are not equal. Equal people are not free.
"A gun is like a parachute. If you need one, and don't have one,
you'll probably never need one again."
(My personal gun philosophy, though borrowed, not original... "I would rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it.")
The definition of the word Conundrum is: something
that is puzzling or confusing.
Here are six Conundrums of socialism in the United
States of America:
1. America is
capitalist and greedy - yet half of the population is subsidized.
2. Half of
the population is subsidized - yet they think they are victims.
3. They
think they are victims - yet their representatives run the government.
4. Their
representatives run the government - yet the poor keep getting poorer.
5. The poor keep getting poorer - yet they have
things that people in other countries only dream about.
6. They have
things that people in other countries only dream about - yet they want America to be more like those other
countries.
These three, short sentences tell you a lot about
the direction of our current government and cultural environment:
1. We are
advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics,
but we
are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics.
2. Seems we
constantly hear about how Social Security is going to run out of money,
but we
never hear about welfare or food stamps running out of money!
3. Why are we
cutting benefits for our veterans, no pay raises for our military and cutting
our
army to a level lower than before WWII, but we
are not stopping the payments or benefits to illegal aliens.
"If
you do not take an interest in the affairs of your government, then you are
doomed to live under the rule of fools." ~~

Beware: Are you a "right wing extremist"...?
From: Redflagnews.com
Just two weeks after it announced a plan to globalize local police departments through the “Strong Cities Network,” the Obama administration has added a new tool in its fight against “violent extremism.”
A new position within the Justice Department – yet to be filled – will focus on investigating lone-wolf domestic terrorists or “extremists.”
The person who heads this new effort will target extremists who plan mass shootings, hold racist, bigoted or anti-government views or see themselves as “sovereign citizens.”
The new position at the Justice Department, dubbed the “domestic terrorism counsel,” will serve as the main point of contact for U.S. attorney offices nationwide and will identify trends across cases, help shape strategy and “analyze legal gaps that need to be closed,” said Assistant Attorney General John Carlin.
Read the rest here.

Who knows? Would it surprise you? ;) More laws being created without the Legislature?
First they came for the communists, and I did not speak out - because I was not a communist;
Then they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out - because I was not a socialist;
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out - because I was not a trade unionist;
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out - because I was not a Jew;
Then they came for me - and there was no one left to speak out for me.

Tolerance and apathy...

Yup. Been saying this for a long time. All that remains is to see how it plays out. What will be left after the fuck-fuck games are over?
"...the great experiment will then surely be doomed."
"No human society has ever been able to maintain both order and
freedom, both cohesiveness and liberty apart from the moral precepts of
the Christian Religion applied and accepted by all the classes. Should
our Republic ere forget this fundamental precept of governance, men are
certain to shed their responsibilities for licentiousness and the great
experiment will then surely be doomed."

Hillary has changed her mind...
~~~~~~~
Or, more likely, she is pandering to what she believes her "new base" wants. Personally, I think she is dead in the water. Fini. Kaput. Her base loves all the free shit that Bernie is telling them they deserve and that he will give them. Thank God that one Socialist does not a functioning government make.
Can you imagine Bernie, an avowed Socialist, being elected and not having another Socialist in government to support him and his programs? I wonder how that would work?
I suspect that senile old Uncle Joe will jump into the mix, promising continuity of the current administration's programs... He will win the Democrat party's nomination with ease by promising no change. How weird will that be? ;)

I was talking to one of my German friends the other day... Ralf said that these people are animals. The average German doesn't know what to do anymore. These "refugees" have turned the once pristine towns and villages of Germany into shit holes. They are throwing the "order" onto chaos.
Ahhh well. It is a problem. It is coming here. It will have to be dealt with everywhere it lands.
