Free Republic

Poor little snowflakes. But then, this is only the beginning.

Levin laments that Trump is not a conservative Jesus.

What makes it worse is that if a President Trump only secures the border and say, block grants education to the states, or opens federal lands to energy development, he will be the greatest President in a 100 years.

Reagan’s legacy other than economic growth was a huge debt, amnesty and paving the way for the Bushes when after twenty years of campaigning he had finally beat the Establishment. His mistakes were absolutely huge.

The Right has so far focused on only two likely Supreme Court attacks on the constitution that Clinton is likely to make; the 2nd Amendment and amnesty for 40 million illegal aliens that will turn the US blue forever. But there's more. And if anything, it's worse.

Imagine for a moment, losing your job because you mentioned something negative about Muslim immigration or skepticism of the science of global warming. Don't think it will happen? Think again.

First, let's examine the 1st Amendment. The Left has been signalling for years it's desire to shut down talk radio. And the conservative websites it deems as hate speech. A Clinton controlled Supreme Court would be happy to enact Hate Speech laws which would do both. Governments in Europe are already arresting citizens who post disparaging comments on Facebook which they deem contrary to their hate speech laws. American leftists would love to do the same here, and as we know, close to half the country would applaud.

Second, I used to wonder why Democrats ran Bernie Sanders; unlike Republicans, everything Democrats do is a choreography. Halfway through the primaries, I figured it out. They needed someone to make Hillary look more moderate. But more importantly, they wanted to get the country's reading on a truly socialist platform. And the reception was very heartening to them.

And with a Supreme Court, they can have it. I have absolutely no doubt that a Clinton Supreme Court will enact the Bernie Sanders talking points.

That is, through the Civil Rights Act, it will enact Climate Justice, Social Justice, Economic Justice, Racial Justice, Gender Justice, not to mention the total annihilation of the separation of powers.

Think practically of what these new laws will do. They will provide sweeping new powers to the President to enact a host of redistribution policies, invade and destroy all private property rights, govern speech and action, and introduce a host of agendas you can not even imagine.

Congress will in effect become irrelevant. Your vote will be useless. The job of Congress will be to put lipstick on the socialist pig.

Lest you believe I am a conspiracy nut, consider that if you have been watching the news for the last 2 years, he left has been signalling all of these moves in one form or another.

The depressing fact is the for many Republican corporatists, these laws are Ok with them. They hate conservatives any way.

If I were Trump, I would be exploring this future in speeches. Is this the USA people want?

My question is the same for the NeverTrumpers. I realize Trump is not Jesus, but if you would defeat Trump consider that you are really just attracted to the Armageddon to come. The problem in calling Trump a brownshirt is that when the real brownshirts come, you have nowhere to go. Do you really believe we deserve the painful hell of socialist rule by a 9 person committee? Will that purify our hearts and minds and deliver us some much needed redemption? Shall we wear sackcloth and ashes, and wail for our sins? If you truly are not fascinated by the end of the USA, why are you not fighting it? And make no mistake; if we lose the country to the Supreme Court, you will not be viewed as principled leaders. You will be viewed as suicidal martyrs attempting to bring about the end of the world.

I for one would rather win. The odds are long enough even if we do.

You get what you reward, whether in or out of marriage. And the law overwhelmingly rewards single motherhood.

A male pays for the kid and the woman’s housing, and if not able, the state steps in and does it. The risk of pregnancy has long ago been successfully transferred to the male. Indeed, the woman can live more comfortably without him in most cases.

70% of all divorce is now instigated by women, the most cited reason being, “I don’t love him anymore.” The simple fact is, she gets half of everything and the lion’s share of his income for life if they have children. Any male cavorting with a female, in or out of marriage, is playing with fire without a contract; most single fathers are now living in poverty, and their depression and suicide rates are sky-high.

My humble suggestion for any male is to acquaint themselves with the law, including divorce. It will scare you. If you are engaging in unprotected sex, or marrying without a prenuptial agreement, you are insane.

You just described the Republican advertising campaign next election cycle.

Rush made a stupendous point here. Because all the talking heads have been saying that conservatives should attack policies, but do not attack Obama.

I never understood that silliness.

Because Obama is petulant, immature man who never did anything in his life. And that is where you begin. You do not ignore that. There are too many videos and examples to show it.

I am just surprised, because I think the populace is beginning to see it already, even before the elections.

Californians ask, “Where is John Galt?”

Apology or no, if you can’t remember hanging the Medal of Honor around a fallen soldier’s parent’s neck, then what kind of a ‘genius’ are you, exactly?

This guy is one weird dude.

Seriously.

IF the FREEP is enamored with Chump, there is no hope for Republicans.

He is more a politician than any other candidate other than Obama (who was manufactured).

He was a Nancy Pelosi fan for crying out loud. What more does anyone need to hear?

The CIA is predicting the EU will collapse by 2020. Given that the CIA’s got pretty much everything wrong for half a century, that would suggest the EU is a shoo-in to be the colossus of the new millennium. But even a flop spook is right twice a generation. If anything, the date of EU collapse is rather a cautious estimate. It seems more likely that within the next couple of European election cycles, the internal contradictions of the EU will manifest themselves in the usual way, and that by 2010 we’ll be watching burning buildings, street riots, and assassinations on American network news every night.

Steyn was right. Riots in 2010. And rising.

There’s a difference between responsibility and entrapment. $127M? Harrah’s needs a wake-up call.

Tina Brown’s sole claim to fame is that she is a minstral who looks like sarah palin.

that is it.

Thanks man. You gave me my laugh for the day.

Cheney argued that even low probability suspects in the war on terror should be investigated. NSA capability is vast and capital cost is sunk, therefore the marginal cost of investigating leads is zero compared with the imminent danger of millions dead caused by a motivated enemy. Seems like a logical argument.

Friedman likens anthropogenic global warming (AGW) legislation to Cheney's argument; citizens should commission a vast global redistribution of trillions of dollars with questionable measurement without the benefit of the world's largest 'polluters' (destroying any guarantee of a positive result) against a distant fear of calamity which by IPCC predictions becomes less dire with every iterative model. The fallacy of comparing the two arguments is clear to any fifth grader. I critique his whole argument on my website.

The argument is full of holes. If this is the best Friedman can do, he needs to stop writing.

Let’s assume for a horrifying moment that this plane had been hijacked and took out half the skyline of Minneapolis, killing 1,500 people.

From the inept and sketchy reporting, it seems like the plane was out of touch for 60 minutes BEFORE it got to Minn (total non-contact was 77 minutes).

People might be justified in asking why, after 9.11, the FAA did not contact any flight attendants, or passengers on the flight to resolve the time-out. Surely Northwest has many of these records.

Further, we might ask why the military was not running fly-bys of this jet long before it could become yet another bomb on a major city.

The coverage and reaction on this story is absurd. If indeed this was a hijacking, the FAA would be explaining to the people how despite 9.11, their new procedures could neither prevent or EVEN RESOLVE the same type of issue within an hour. Where is the inquiry here?
