Scott Adams Switches Endorsement to Trump

Socialism (regardless of what name it is given) is a fancy way of saying all your stuff belongs to the state. You are incapable of earning anything on your own.  You are incapable of creating anything on your own. Therefore all wealth, property, or the labor expended to create it belongs to the state.

It explains the inherent flaw in Democratic Socialism, by which they mean the economic policies of the Democrat party, by which they mean socialism.

Snowflakes Object to the Word “American” in “American BBQ”

babbq-018Taco night, Chinese food, wearing culturally proper clothing from someone else’s culture. All bad. So what about a good old-fashioned American Barbecue? Right here in what’s left of America?

That’s bad too.

Students at taxpayer-funded Ramapo College of New Jersey attempted to organize a themed barbecue to kick off the new school year but administrators decided the theme — “American BBQ” — was “offensive.” Consequently, students say, the administrators forced the students to ditch the “American BBQ” theme — and to describe the event as just a run-of-the-mill barbecue.

Big F-You to Roger Goodell

I cut cable so I missed the first two weeks of the NFL season (except for the highlight reels) but last night I discovered something wonderful. The game was streaming live on Twitter.

ObamaCare Lets the IRS inside all aspects of our lives. Gary Varvel

If you opted to pay the tax to the IRS instead of exchanging your hard earned dollars for crappy ObamaCare, well, the President is not pleased with you. He has asked the IRS to use your private tax information to hunt you down and politely ask you to get in line.

(Forbes) “…at President Obama’s direction, the IRS is “reaching out” to people who paid the tax penalty for not buying mandatory health insurance or who claimed an exemption in hopes of “attracting” more people to sign up for ObamaCare insurance.  The government is particularly interested in compliance from healthy young people.”
