Yes, It Does “Hurt” to Use Coerced Pronouns – Listen to the ‘The Five’ Panel

June 12, 2023 Skip

As regular readers know, I am beyond the coerciveness of being told to use “preferred pronouns” with respect to those suffering from gender dysphoria. And with respect to “respect”, what the Freedom-weak people don’t understand, it’s a tactic to impress upon you your “language enslavement by proxy and repetition” if you use them to “show … Read more

I have watched many video clips of protests against Jab mandates globally, and see growing numbers of instances of police behaving like actual brownshirts, not the admirable men & women in blue that I’ve respected in the past – Australia being a most notable example, one video:

Notable Quote – Prof. Walter Williams: Socialism is EVIL

December 28, 2020 Skip

Emphasis mine: This is why socialism is evil. It employs evil means, confiscation and intimidation, to accomplish what are often seen as noble goals — namely, helping one’s fellow man. Helping one’s fellow man in need by reaching into one’s own pockets to do so is laudable and praiseworthy. Helping one’s fellow man through coercion … Read more

Notable Quote – “…of the Progressive Era were its greatest failures”

October 3, 2020 Skip

[Progressives of the 1930s] were determined that their vision of the managed economy should take precedence in all areas of life. Although they purported to have great sophistication on economic and social matters, their understanding of those matters was primitive, and their disdain for the evident signs of social improvement colored their vision of the … Read more

Did Joe Biden Coerce Ukraine to Influence American Elections?

December 7, 2019November 5, 2019 Ken Eyring

The Democrats are desperate to convince the American people that President Trump violated the law by coercing Ukraine to influence an American election. The Democrats are holding secret meetings in search of anything that could be used to impeach President Trump. But has anybody asked if Joe Biden coerced Ukraine? The so-called “scandal” regarding Ukraine … Read more

Sell Don’t Tell… Part 1 of 2

August 15, 2019

People have all kinds of different preferences. We tend to like all kinds of different things. People do all sorts of dumb stuff. We want to share our passion with others sometimes. Sometimes we want to keep people from following in our missteps. It’s part of being human, right? Persuasion We should all work to … Read more

“ze” “co” “thon”

April 15, 2019 Steve MacDonald

It’s all about control If you want to control people’s thoughts where would you begin? Let me suggest a good way, perhaps not the only way but an effective way, maybe the best way to influence thought is to begin by controlling the use of words. Forced control of words is as unamerican as thinking … Read more

As Obama continues his quest to “perfect us” – our food is next

September 26, 2018November 29, 2012 Skip

Obama: “and a union that could be and should be perfected over time. “ From the Washington Examiner comes news that while Moochella has “improved” our kids school lunches, he’s wanting to “perfect” our eating habits – or pay for it: “I think there is no question that the way Americans eat and what Americans … Read more

US Senator Jeanne Shaheen (D): all too willing to use the fear of the IRS to stifle TEA Party opposition? How Orwellian of her…

September 26, 2018February 28, 2012 Skip

“…those who cannot be co-opted are isolated and then destroyed.“

I had seen mention of the use of IRS going against TEA Parties (Richmond TEA Party, Ohio Liberty Council, it seems that others are in process) over at The TaxProf’s blog (via Instapundit, much more here at The Daily Caller on what the IRS is demanding for information), but loyal reader Steven sent this link along from Big Government. Nice to see my US Senator Jeanne Shaheen all too willing to use the coercive force of Bigger Government (the IRS!) to silence her opposition! This proves the phrase that I have been using: “The Bigger the Government, the smaller the citizen”. We already have seen that Shaheen has no problem in using the force of the Federal Government:
