Progressives – shattered on the rocks of “there’s more than one world view”

democrat-baby-smallYou know why we Groksters are mirthily posting up all these stories about the Progressives / Liberals / Democrats?  OK, ok, it’s fun. But it is also important that we do so.

They’re rediculous in their reactions (both the meltdowns and the rioting).  Just as Marine Col  Nathan R. Jessup, in “A Few Good Men” scream out from the witness chair “YOU CAN’T HANDLE THE TRUTH!”, we’re seeing the results of the “reality based Party” unable to, <insert giggle here>, well, handle reality.

The reality is that they lost.  The more important reality is that they are now seeing, through their popped political distortion bubble, that not only is there more than one worldview that people hold, but that the worldview that they hold was TOTALLY rejected by the rest of us

No surprise – now that the Republicans hold the Oval Office again

They accused us of blatant racism because Obama was black when we disagreed with his policies (not his skin color).  Can we hold these race-baiters accountable in reverse (Trump is white) because they only care about skin color? (H/T: Instapundit)

“The NHGOP really needs to rethink it’s relationship with conservatives.”

Charlie Brown Lucy footballThat was part of an email sent in to Grokster Steve and I.  It spurred the immediate question:

Why should it?

What’s its downside from a historical perspective? Conservatives reliably vote for the Republican Party in election after election. We hear the nice words that make us think “hey,  s/he’s with us!”. Just as if we’re the GOP version of the blacks and the Democrat Party – the bloc of voters that just keep voting in lockstep regardless of the results.

After all, the TEA Party tried it – wrung out of its votes in 2010 after enduring attack after attack from the Progressives, Socialists, and Democrats, the Republicans started in.  Many of those same folks decided that they DIDN’T want a relationship with the GOP after the condescending treatment they received.

Steve’s post title says it all

Data Point – who was more efficient in “vote per dollar spent”?

According to Reuters: Relying heavily on an unorthodox mix of social media, unfiltered rhetoric, and a knack for winning free TV time, the New York real estate magnate likely paid less than $5 per vote during his insurgent White House bid, about half what Clinton paid. In total, Trump raised at least $270 million since launching … Read more

In which I agree with Julian Assange

Julian Assange, founder of WikiLeaks, defended his website’s decision to publish thousands of internal emails from Hillary Clinton’s campaign in a statement Tuesday on the U.S. election. “[I]rrespective of the outcome of the 2016 US Presidential election, the real victor is the US public, which is better informed as a result of our work,” Assange … Read more

Obamacare – now what? Yes, I have a very simple solution

obamacareAll things considered, that is and the best part of it is all the GOP has do is just Alinsky it:

RULE 4:Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.” If the rule is that every letter gets a reply, send 30,000 letters. You can kill them with this because no one can possibly obey all of their own rules. (This is a serious rule. The besieged entity’s very credibility and reputation is at stake, because if activists catch it lying or not living up to its commitments, they can continue to chip away at the damage.)

In other words, exploit their own words.  And in this case, there is a single phrase that is repeated well over 2,000 times in this only-Democrats-voted-for-this Obamacare bill: “the Secretary shall…“.  In concocting this bad piece of legislation (in all KINDS of ways), the Progressive led House and Senate, in their rush to pass something as fast as possible, literally handed their legislative power over to the Executive Branch whose head and minions were of the same ilk.  Yep, “I’ll be happy to do that for you high paid gasbags that are too lazy to do your jobs”.  And continued the process of building the unassailable Administrative State. So what is it that can be done?

Election Night – running totals

It’s 1:30am and I’m going to bed.  Last news is that the Rs have kept the US Senate. All Trump has to do is win either Michigan or Minnesota and he will be the President-elect; Clinton basically has to run the table. PLEASE SEE THE CHART from NYT below my chart – oh my!   … Read more

If tonite’s election track continues…

Will President Trump sign the “Dan Pfeiffer” Executive Order? It will simply read: All Executive Orders signed by former President Obama are hereby nullified There goes 95% of Obama’s legacy.  Just like when Dan Ffeiffer crowed about doing the same to President Bush.  And then (WOE to the Rs if they screw this up!!!!) the repeal … Read more

Trump Wins – Hillary Concedes (Updated)

trump-wins Electoral Map

Trump Wins – Hillary Concedes.

Trump Won Wisconsin, Iowa, Florida, and Ohio, and oh yeah!, PA). He is poised to add Michigan and New Hampshire, Arizona, and Alaska. This would give him 310 Electoral votes to Clinton’s 219. Lots of details to drill down into, but I might not have time today.

Update. Republican keep the US House, even though NH is sending Dems Kuster and Shea-Porter back to DC (Shawn O’Connor did his job for Carol). Republicans keep the US Senate whether Ayotte wins her race or not–a recount is looming but Ayotte is slightly ahead at this hour.

Enjoy Canada

Hillary had a star-studded victory gala on tap with fireworks, and a boat-load of left-wing idiots of stars, all of whom had to go home less than empty-handed. So, about that moving to Canada thing? Who was on that list, again? Also, today the media are planning how to ‘Bush’ Trump. You know, the everything … Read more

So WHO is the “regional” Party now, eh?

For years I have been listening to the Left mumble (or shriek) that the GOP is nothing but a regional political Party – mostly with VERY levels of disdain and snobbishness.  They really just couldn’t contain themselves as they held that the GOP was no longer a “national” Party – this kept up even as … Read more

Freaking out Liberals: how can so many people be on the “wrong side of history”?

Progressives – they often are wont to bring up one of the stupidest phrases ever conceived (but it IS a Progressive “tell” so when you hear it….):  The right side of history. It is used to divide by making themselves superior; THEY have made all the right decisions and have the right philosophy and the correct worldview.  Until they are proven wrong – and then they refuse to really navel-gaze to figure out WHY the rest of us “don’t get it”.  Like now!  I really can’t copy most of what is said in that post or I’d be violating ‘Grok Rule #1 but suffice to say that these Hollywood actors (many who have spent the last 8 years calling the rest of us really bad adjectives) are having meltdown over what they assumed to be a shoo-in for Hillary The Annointed.  How DARE those Trump supporters think that they should have gotten behind that brutish throw back of a misogynist profit-maker!

Ahem – that’s President to y’all.

I watched a little of GMA this morning (TMEW’s morning program) and it was CLEAR that the normal Happy-Babby psychobabble dippity-due fluff they call news as out the window.  Somber?  Downcast?  Crestfallen?  Unbelief?  Schocked? Dumbfounded? Thoughts of seppuku (especially former Clinton wonderkind Georgie)?  Such a wannabee uncouth barbarian – people voted for him???

I couldn’t couldn’t stop giggling as I

“Common Sense” gun control is neither real control or common sensical

“To the glib critics of America’s gun culture, we should make this demand: If supply controls are the answer, describe precisely the full program of supply side policies that you propose to stop gun crimes we all abhor. And then tell us how those policies will also allow lawful gun owners to keep and protect … Read more
