Not this election cycle. Maybe not the next one. But it’s coming. In today’s America, a network of executive, judicial, bureaucratic, and social kinship channels bypasses the sovereignty of citizens. Our imperial regime, already in force, works on a simple principle: the president and the cronies who populate these channels may do whatever they like… Read More The Revolution is Coming, Friends.
So, I was at the gym this morning, and in between sets I tend to gaze up at the TV. The one closest to me always has MSNBC on, which is fine, as it’s good to absorb the framing of the other side (for the record, I’m a declared Gary Johnson supporter, but I’m not… Read More Birther Trump is Not a Birther
I don’t know if Glenn Beck is really talking about what he sounds like he’s talking about here. As I read it, he was speaking hypothetically, like “what do we do if?…” The sentiment, however, is common enough to be talked of. Sometimes people feel like killing a President. But it’s been a while since… Read More Assassination is Not Your Friend
Jonah Goldberg, explaining why he’s not voting Trump. This is what I’ve been saying to myself for the last month or so. I don’t owe the GOP my vote. They don’t own my franchise, I do. I not only have the right, I have the duty as a citizen not to give my legal assent to… Read More “I Don’t Work for the G-d-Damn GOP”
Derp. I get what he was trying to say, but even then, his statement isn’t right. Ugliness, like beauty, is comparatively rare. A definition of terms: Ugliness is not mere unattractivenes; it is repulsiveness. Ugliness means aversion, nausea. Natural selection ensures that only a few people are actually ugly. We must of course concede that aesthetic statements… Read More No, Ed Rendell, a Majority of Women are Not Ugly
Good. He posted on Facebook that he said so, and reaped the whirlwind of idiot Facebook comments. He re-posts his post on the blog, with edits responding to each genre of protest, and it is a delight. A few delights: WHAAA! NO LABELS! You shouldn’t call people Trumpkins!” Forgive me No Labels Police. Writing out… Read More Larry Correia Won’t Vote Trump, Either.
Share and Enjoy. So the question becomes, what are Republicans to do with a Republican party that would allow a progressive populist boasting Mondale’s trade policy and McGovern foreign policy — that is, a leftist Democrat that looks for all the world like an angry and retouched Circus Peanut — to carry its flag? And… Read More Jeff Goldstein: Let the GOP Go the Way of the Whigs. Time for a New Party.
I’m voting for Gary Johnson. That means I don’t care enough about NotHillary to make NotHillary President. That means I’m a bad Republican, a bad patriot, and a dirty cuck. At least, so speaks the voice from the whirlwind of Twitter, right now. My thoughts are thus: And I mean that. I’m not playing the… Read More Observing the Election as a Disinterested Bystander
A kid tries to get him to sign “The Communist Manifesto” under the guise of an “economic textbook”. Cruz signs it with the note “Millions have died because of this.” Then shakes the young man’s hand and thanks him for coming out. Why anyone prefers Trump to this man, I cannot fathom.
“Democracy is the principle that the common man knows what he wants and deserves to get it — Good and hard.” -H.L. Mencken Don’t believe the hysterics on Twitter. I predict that fully 70% of the soap-boxers re-tweeting #NeverTrump like they’re changing the world are going to come around. They have to: they care too… Read More If You’ve Ever Voted, or Considered Voting, for a Clinton, Then I Don’t Want to Hear You Moan About Trump
