Quick Thought – The Fix is officially in by the DNC. Break out the popcorn!

March 3, 2020March 2, 2020 Skip

With Steve reporting that Amy Klobuchar has hung up her Prez Wannabee campaign sneakers, what was in the background is now in the open. The question imperative is WHY did both Buttigieg and Klobuchar line up behind Biden and not Bernie? Especially Buttigieg – with his earlier thesis praising Bernie on ideological points, his articulation … Read more

Marianne Williamson is Out – Suspends Presidential Campaign (Will You Notice?)

January 10, 2020 Steve MacDonald

I know you’re asking yourself, who? I mean what, she was still in the race? She was never in the race. For what’s it worth her role was that of the plucky sidekick. Comedy relief. Two nights only.

Preaching the Christian Gospel in Public Labeled Hate Speech

November 22, 2019 Steve MacDonald

The war on Judeo-Christian faith, like the war on families and marriage, is about knocking down barriers to Marxism. I articulated it well enough here, so I won’t repeat those points. But they apply to this topic. A pastor has been charged with hate speech for preaching near homosexuals.

Attention Catholics: This Weekend’s “Anti-Poverty” Collection Funds Marxism

November 15, 2019 Jim Kofalt

It’s that time of year again… time for the US Conference of Catholic Bishops to launch their annual Adopt-a-Marxist program, more commonly known as the “Catholic Campaign for Human Development” (CCHD). If you donate to the CCHD collection this weekend, you will be supporting radical Marxist organizations throughout the US.

Lesbian Turned Trans-Guy Wonders Why Women Won’t Date ‘Her’ – I Have Some Advice

November 6, 2019 Steve MacDonald

First, you sexualize the culture. Make it all about intersecting genitals. Then you insist the genitals don’t matter? And when people don’t want to go along for that ride, you call them bigots. Well, now.

The Left’s Assault on Your Liberty and a Bit of Audio Self-Defense

October 14, 2019 Steve MacDonald

You come here to read what we think. We also offer you the opportunity to hear it as well. What we think, that is – about a lot of things. But maybe you’re not in for 60 minutes of the latter. So, how about 5 minutes or less?

Watch It: Kamala “Suppress Speech” Harris Asks If America is Ready for Her Campaign – Crowd yells, No!

October 4, 2019 Steve MacDonald

Kamala Harris is considered by some who follow the political gymnastics of self-proclaimed American socialists to be the candidate they’d prefer. Female, Young, of color, a Marxist. She has deep ties to the DSA and communist organizations.

Seattle, Public School, White-Math, Privilege, and Oppression

October 1, 2019 Steve MacDonald

Seattle is majority white. Sorry, I meant majority white-guilt. Three-quarters of the population is not a minority by the left’s definition. (66% white, 10% Asian.) And because white everything is oppressive, the public-school system has adopted the new (new) [NEW] Social Justice math.

Warren Money Spent at Lemonade Stand Photo-Op Donated to March for Life

September 30, 2019 Steve MacDonald

My earlier prediction that Biden would win the nomination if he didn’t implode still applies. He is imploding. Liz Warren, on the other hand, is surging. In part because she’s the selfie-queen. But this photo-op didn’t entirely turn out according to ‘Plan.’

Don’t Tell Anyone But ‘Climate Strike’ is Not About the Climate

September 24, 2019 Steve MacDonald

If you spent a week here, you might have noticed that the climate cult is more interested in economics than climate. Socialist economics, to be precise. Nowhere is this more evident than at Climate Strike.

Is it Time to Start Talking About Communism Again?

September 16, 2019 Jim Kofalt

Ten years ago, “socialism” was still a dirty word on both sides of the political aisle. Leftists deflected accusations of socialism as an expression of old-fashioned right-wing paranoia (and racism!), while right-of-center pundits avoided it like a third rail.

The Fork in the Road

August 5, 2019

The Democrat presidential hopefuls are a Marxist lot. Even Joe Biden agrees they are all socialists. They are willing not only to accept but to promote open borders, cancelled college debt, tax-funded health care for illegal aliens and the Green New Deal… all without a thought to affordability. They want to eliminate private health insurance, … Read more

Bernie Sanders is not a Hypocrite

April 17, 2019 Rick Olson

Bernie Sanders is a millionaire. Indeed. From Bum to millions, the laziest, most useless man in America is running to be the leader of the free world. Sanders earned over 1.7 Million in the last two years and owns three homes, despite never having a real job or ever earning a livable wage. Where did Bernie get his, “free lunch,” break? Politics. We all know this so there is no point in pouring over the details.

People now call Bernie Sanders a hypocrite for extolling the virtues of the capitalist system. Bernie wrote a book, got it published, made the New York Times Best Seller List and raked in the dough that followed. The book eschews the wealthy as evil and schemes to take their wealth. Bernie unwittingly extolls the virtues of capitalism and encourages others to do the same. Irony.

Notable Quote – Karl Popper

December 11, 2018 Skip

For in our own time, the earlier, naturalistic revolution against God replaced the name ‘God’ by the name ‘Nature’. Almost everything else was left unchanged. Theology, the Science of God, was replaced by the Science of Nature; God’s laws by the laws of Nature; God’s will and power by the will and power of Nature (the natural forces); and later, God’s design and God’s judgment by Natural Selection. Theological determinism was replaced by a naturalistic determinism; that is, God’s omniscience and omnipotence were replaced by the omniscience and omnipotence of the Natural Sciences.

Hegel and Marx replaced the goddess Nature, in her turn, by the goddess History. So we get laws of History; powers, forces, tendencies, designs, and plans, of History; and the omniscience and omnipotence of historical determinism. Sinners against God are replaced by ‘criminals who vainly resist the march of History’; and we learn that not God but History will be our judge.

-Karl Popper (A Pluralist Approach to the Philosophy of History)

Yep, the Progressives’ “Arc of History” bit – a crock in its entirety. History just “is” – it is just what has happened in the past and has no agency, in and of itself, to sway the agency of actual live humans. A recording, yes, but nothing more (regardless of the nonsense that Obama spewed in using it). Same with nature – nature is also “just is”

Treehugger time – I think you’ll know where this one went

November 10, 2018 Skip

“Tell me again why it should be legal for an employer to pay a wage that doesn’t cover living expenses? Freedom to exploit is freedom to kill, and it does.”

That was a comment, in part” from Annie Cass from a post “3 concepts from ‘Your Money or Your Life‘ that blew my mind” about thriftiness:

Your hourly wage isn’t your true hourly wage.
It’s crucial to track every single cent you earn, spend, and save.
Savings are more than just savings.

Now, I don’t necessarily agree with some of the basic premises but it did have some good information. But of course, Cass comes with the Marxist screed:

Arctic Sea Ice Truth vs. the “Expert’s” Science

July 10, 2022October 24, 2018 Steve MacDonald

Global Warming theory claims that carbon dioxide generated by man-made activity is dooming the planet. The solution is to let the government use your money to pay “scientists” to produce “results” that support this conclusion so politicians can raise taxes and expand government intervention to address the “problem.” The problem with the problem is not just that … Read more

Free Speech on Campus In Our Lifetime? Not If They Can Help It.

September 26, 2018August 26, 2018 Steve MacDonald

I stumbled across an article by Fred Lucas titled, “Supreme Court decisions could curb campus censorship.”

Lucas shares some insights into recent court decisions that might reach their tendrils into the collection and use of student activity fees and the relationship between those expenditures and viewpoint discrimination. Fingers crossed but every path leading to that goal will require a grueling uphill battle.

A reference Lucas includes to remarks in an American Association of University Professor report tells us why.

The NFL has Announced a New Policy Regarding the National Anthem

September 26, 2018May 23, 2018 Steve MacDonald

The NFL has announced a new policy regarding the National Anthem, agreed to by all 32 NFL owners.

All team and league personnel on the field shall stand and show respect for the flag and the Anthem.
The Game Operations Manual will be revised to remove the requirement that all players be on the field for the Anthem.
Personnel who choose not to stand for the Anthem may stay in the locker room or in a similar location off the field until after the Anthem has been performed.
A club will be fined by the League if its personnel are on the field and do not stand and show respect for the flag and the Anthem.
Each club may develop its own work rules, consistent with the above principles, regarding its personnel who do not stand and show respect for the flag and the Anthem.
The Commissioner will impose appropriate discipline on league personnel who do not stand and show respect for the flag and the Anthem.

You Want to Talk About Cultural Appropriation? Let’s Do that!

September 26, 2018May 4, 2018 Steve MacDonald

With all This Talk about Cultural Appropriation when is someone going to start focusing on how the Democrat party has appropriated (or been appropriated) by secular-humanist-socialist-Marxism?

It’s not American. It contradicts most, if not all the cultural foundations or tenents of our nation. So, why does the modern Democrat party, its politicians, and their mouthpieces, get away with appropriating a late 18th-century Euro-Russian worldview and forcing it down our throats?

The Totalitarian impulse did not die with the Soviet Union

September 26, 2018April 5, 2018 Steve MacDonald

I think that the entirety of the modern American Left’s agenda can be summarized in the words of Theodore Dalrymple, who notes,

The totalitarian impulse did not die with the Soviet Union, but rather fractured into many different monomanias. The freedom that many people desire is the freedom to limit other people’s freedom, which they find much more gratifying than the mere expression of their own opinion, which has at most the effect of throwing a pebble into a pond, causing a ripple that soon disappears and is forgotten. Surely I am more important than that, and my opinion deserves to dictate to others?
