Notable Quote – It’s always the “well, the right people haven’t implemented it” excuse

by Skip / 30 August 2020 30 August 2020

Yet while socialists distance themselves from contemporary and historical examples of socialism, they usually struggle to explain what exactly they would do differently. Socialists tend to escape into abstraction, and talk of lofty aspirations rather than tangible institutional characteristics. -Kristian Niemietz ( Socialism: The Failed Idea That Never Dies) That’s all we keep hearing – …

Isn’t he just a SPECIAL sort of Stupid: Jim Morgan

by Skip / 10 May 2020 10 May 2020

Yes, we get tips from time to time (actually, more and more often) and this one is a special sort of amusing. However, to set the stage and remind you of some important history, let’s start with these:

You are responsible for me so I can control you (as I like)

by Skip / 4 May 2020 4 May 2020

Alternative title 1: Community above the Individual Alternative title 2: the government has made us all our brothers’ keepers. That is a political philosophy called Communitarianism. The short definition is a feeling of community but on steroids with the control clamps being brought out of the secret drawers.

The Mafioso tone of NY Gov. Andrew Cuomo

by Skip / 3 April 2020 3 April 2020

I watch Fredo’s brother’s, NY Gov. Cuomo, presser today on Fox (turning what should have been a State level event into a national one). It basically was a smaller copy of the daily Presidential / Coronavirus Task Force presser generally held at 5:30pm (Steve is doing the yeoman’s work at having posts up where you …

DISQUS Doodlings – It ain’t your money, Treehuggers! Part 2

by Skip / 15 March 2019 15 March 2019

Part 1 is here of me trying to defend your Right to Private Property (e.g., money) to use as you wish instead of the greedy Politicians, Socialists, and Communitarians (on steroids) believing that is is OUR money to do with “we” wish. Like NYC Mayor Bill De Blasio saying in his latest State of the …

DISQUS Doodlings – It ain’t your money, Treehuggers! Part 1

by Skip / 14 March 2019 15 March 2019

Yet again, TreeHuggers show their true colors with Honcho Lloyd complaining about $80 billion being wasted on autonomous vehicles. At this point, start remembering about Crazy Bernie (the self-described Socialist from Vermont that honeymooned in Moscow during the height of the Cold War) who complained that we don’t “need” 23 different types of underarm deodorant …

NH HB0411 – Where the NH House Democrats are about to make boat owners financial victims – of the Democrats!

by Skip / 10 March 2013 26 September 2018

You see, this is the main problem that Democrats have – in their all so Orwellian manner sense of “we all in this together – whether you like it or not” – Sidenote: like that old phrase of “can’t win, can’t lose, can’t get out of the game”, we “can’t get out of their enforced …

Facebook Doodlings – in which I may have called out Lloyd over at TreeHugger

by Skip / 19 February 2013 26 September 2018

Well, I do go over to TH from time to time, and even leave comments. Well, there was a post by Lloyd (“90 by 50 plan could reduce New York City’s emissions by 90% by 2050“), someone that doesn’t always take kindly to Conservative or Libertarians assaulting what seems to be an Environmental Communitarian mantra. …

A Fourth of July message to my fellow Groksters – and to our readers. And especially to those that just might be stopping by.

by Skip / 4 July 2012 26 September 2018

“I also wanted to mention the strange feeling that I awoke with today….and I share your sense of – not unease necessarily, but maybe – resolve..?“ Words from my fellow Groksters that stirred me to write a message back: My fellow Groksters, There was a reason why each and everyone of you was chosen and asked …
