“One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors.” Plato
Plato implied this whether or not he actually said it..
Call it....... PLATONIC LICENSE....
LOL!
Carly FioRINO would be mistake as VeeP..
as would Marco RINEO....
So I expect you know as well as I do what it's like for a Christian conservative to live in this sewer of political and ideological corruption!!!
But we're still standing. :^)
I figured you'd catch my meaning, "good enough for scratch." This is a New England term, roughly meaning if argument A is close enough to argument B, on the basis of logic and evidence, then even if they are not identical arguments, both arguments can reasonably be seen as referring to the same conclusion.
But New England Yankees have, in the past, singled out an additional, special meaning for "scratch": "Scratch" is a folk name for the Devil. Who, given his mission of total annihilation of God's order, in particular the order of men's souls, has to be hyper-rational in order to succeed.
For when he rebelled against his Father, he lost all possibility of Grace. But he's still pretty damned good at "reasoning"....
I guess that's some kind of backhanded compliment to reason.
Thank you so very much for writing, dear trisham!
WHY do you feel that way about Fiorina and Rubio?
I need more from you than "spit wads." :^)
I am indeed familiar with the definition of “scratch”. It seems that we are both lovers of language and history.
It’s not always easy to be a conservative in this state.
God bless you, dear betty boop. :)

Well said.. a Sewer... a Latrine.. an Out House.. Honey Bucket.. a Liu.. <—not chinese..
Floaters.. flys.. stink.. corrupt soup.. and other things once “seen” cannot be UNseen..
The North East generally but overwhelmingly is a SEWER..
Even The Great Sodom... NYC makes Sodom “blush” in comparison..
Makes Gomorrah embarrassed at it’s weakness.. and chump change doings..
EVIL on a massive scale.. it’s NOT only Taxachuetts either.. jeese..
“Something” should be DONE.. about it..
I need more from you than “spit wads.” :^)
No you don’t.. you’re basic intelligence will win out..
I have faith on you.. d;-)~....
It’s early.... all will come out..
Cruz has simply more Horse Power.. a powerful ride..
Literally all others are hay burners.. or sway backed..
CRUZ is “THE” christian man.. on one level..
The ONLY one that will or CAN go thru the federal leviathan with a dose of EX-Lax..
Those trying to make “everyone” happy are playing a Shell Game..
NO Cruz, NO FIX..
.
>> “NO Cruz, NO FIX” <<
.
I have to agree.
The rest are bald tires spinning in the cesspool bottom.

The rest are bald tires spinning in the cesspool bottom.
What do you think of The Donald?
Well since you asked dear lady.. {secret crush}
The Donald is a Fascist.. you know right wing socialist..
Some think I'm daft for saying that BUT alas he is..
Russia and China have slowly turned from socialism to fascism over the years..
When business merges with givernment is called Fascism..
Only difference is the socializing of capitalism..
or the Capitalizing of socialism.. same thing..
Seems very few recognize that.. or admit it or even want to consider it..
No worries.. Hosepipe is here to save the day...
China is obvious in their Fascism.. glaringly obvious..
Russia goes stealth.. the liberals that used to HATE Fascism do not say a word.. to even imply they are Fascist.. (it's secret)..
Obama is NOT A SOCIALIST.. he is a Fascist..
As is the GOPe... conservatives completely FOOLED by it...
Not many remember in the Communist Manifesto they BRAGGED "in the end" they would something the capitalists would be amazed at.. not be able to combat or even deal with..
THAT THING was and is.. " Them " turning from socialism to Fascism.. as I said Capitalizing Socialism..
There you have it.. The Donald is from Wharton HE KNOWS This..
And is capitalizing on the stupidity of the conservatives.. as is most liberals.. that KNOW what socialism is.... and ISN'T...
Amazing most are ignorant that socialism and fascism is the SAME THING..
A two headed demon, a coin with two sides.. good guy, bad guy.. a scam.. a boondoggle.. bait and switch.. you get the idea..
Be aware that "some" liberals are aware of this... i.e. Saul Alinsky..
But most are not.. being the drones in the collective that they are...
Ok.. I've made mesef an idiot... What do you think?..
I've never been very smart but even (( I )) can see this..
Mystery is why do others not see it?.. Donald is playing a good game..
The poor ol' conservatives are BEWITCHED... Pity..
The Donald is a fascist? Jeepers, I didn't know that. What do you know that I don't?
I agree with you that Obama is not a socialist. But a fascist??? I think he's an anarchist. He "fiddles while Rome burns." But why shouldn't he fiddle, for he's the arsonist?
I do take your points re: fascism vs. communism. A communist wants to nationalize the productive engines of the economy state ownership of the means of production in the name of the "people." A fascist, say a Benito Mussolini, leaves the means of production in private hands, but then regulates them into compliance with State goals. This way the government does not have the expense of maintaining the means of production, can bleed off as much of the gains from production as it wants through taxation, and can intimidate any supposedly private company into falling into line with State goals, whatever they may be, through carrot-and-stick intimidation on a national scale.
By these criteria, Bill Clinton was a fascist. If Obama were less of a nihilist, I'd say he is a fascist, too. But at least Mussolini believed (erroneously of course) that he was helping to advance Italy and the Italian people on the world stage. Like his mentors (e.g., Cloward and Piven, Saul Alinsky), everything Obama does works to weaken, undermine, and ultimately tear down the United States. He cares not a whit for the people. The more problems they have that he has caused, the better he likes it. Chaos is the friend of the anarchist.
I really don't know yet what to make of Mr. Trump. It's very early, and there's not much information to go on as to how he might actually govern if elected. But he will reveal himself in the coming months.
I am grateful to him for energizing the angry "silent majority." He is saying outright what they are privately thinking: America, under the Washington Cartel, is a place where politicians get richer, by working the system to their advantage, and the people are getting progressively poorer. The American middle class is being systematically destroyed. Americans are not only being fleeced, but are being stripped of their individual liberties, of their constitutionally-guaranteed inalienable equal rights.
Moreover, Americans are exposed to all the dangers of a feckless foreign policy, which seems designed to reduce the stature, influence, and power of the United States on the world stage. Obama coddles our enemies, and harbors an insane animosity for one of our closest allies.
Increasingly, people realize this. They demand a major course correction.
But it seems the Washington Cartel likes things just the way they are. NOTHING gets done in Congress, even though both houses are in GOP hands. The GOP doesn't like to disrupt the gravy train any more than the Dems do....
Anyhoot, just some thoughts, dear brother 'pipe!
And very good thoughts they are. Well said, betty boop.
I think Donald’s a Nationalist....his arguments from the begining boil down to two... Foreign countries are making out better than us...and we look weak to the world leaders.
Trump said hes had a lot of success in negotiations and business deals because he cares about and fights to get the best outcome for his interests.....so it’s not at all a stretch he would take that same fight to get the best outcome for Americas interests. ......If you look back just these four or five past years he hasn’t wavered from this...rather he’s expanded on it.
HE has used his wealth to pay for what he wants as a powerful image....Example...in his word’s.....Ill tell you what, with Hillary Clinton, I said, Be at my wedding, and she came to my wedding, he said. You know why?... She had no choice because I gave.
So he knows the players and the game very well...and where it’s the weakest. With Cruz and others as the inside men in Washington he knows who is strong there and who is also weak there as well...thus his recent meeting with Sessions to set up his immigration plan.
“Women who seek a candidate of STRENGTH AND POWER are getting behind Donald Trump in droves.”
Do you think it has to do with him repeatedly saying, unabashedly, that “noone will take care of women I will” and that “he cherishes women”
WELL SAID!!!
And THANK YOU!
p.s.: Of course Left Progressives (Like the Arsonist-in-Chief Obama, the MSM, and most of academe) will scream that "nationalist" is a dirty word. And anyone who uses that word must be some kind of criminal.
Of course, Left Progressives in general are not the most rational and historically literate people out there in the Public Square.... They probably comprise only a very small percentage of the total American population.
And yet their influence on public events is almost overwhelming. I mean, over such minutia as wedding cakes, etc., etc.
Why do the American people tolerate this state of affairs?
