I’m somewhere between a half-dozen and a dozen conversations on the same theme. All of them with people who are not, to my knowledge, otherwise politically active. The subject? Democrats are behind all this crap from Russia to lockdowns to riots, so what’s next?
The majority of blacks who die in America do so in cities that have been run and controlled by Democrats for decades. Complete top to bottom control of the government, the police force, everything.
The Democrats have turned George Floyd into a martyr, not because he was an inspiration or sacrificed for the good of others. On the contrary, George was a criminal who took from others. If anyone emulates that worldview, it’s the Democrat party.
You can blame anything on Global Warming, but maybe Coronavirus can take credit for this. At the precipice of the summer melt season, Greenland added four gigatons of ice in a day. That’s a record for June.
NH State Rep. Sherry Frost uses social media to engage in political activity but limits access. In other words, she blocks people. The last time I checked, it was bad when a Republican did that. And it matters, so let’s add some context.
We have close to 200 articles on GraniteGrok that are about or reference ANTIFA. A group formed in the 1930s for one purpose. To recruit National Socialists into the communist party. Terrorism and violence is always a solution.
When you let mentally insane individuals create a curriculum for the mentally insane, you get experts in this. Michigan State Professor Warns of “Unconscious Bias” and “Microaggressions” in Virtual Meetings. Did anyone tell the professor that pointing out unconscious Bias is based?
What if we choose socialism? What should we expect? Does Marxism have merit? Socialism as an economic system does not work. With that said, it might be the most attractive political ideology ever.
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.
These media idiots are not as dumb as we imagine. They are redefining the effort of people to free themselves from a smothering government as fascist. If they do it long enough, absent meaningful resistance, future generations will embrace their new meaning.
Will the pandemic bring back bartering? The short and to the point answer is: it never went away. Our economic systems started with it and it has continued to this day: two people eyeing what the other person has, figuring out the relative values of each thing, and then trying to do a swap of “equal” value.
The Left’s History of Bigotry is long and deep. Socialists and leftists generally claim they support equality and diversity. Sounds great doesn’t it? It’s part of virtue signaling in this age of political correctness.
A few decades back, we were told by ‘experts’ that not long from then (meaning before now), our children would not know snow. Yet another emotional plea to convince us to embrace massive tax hikes and the minimization of our lifestyles.
It’s where I go to see what the other side is doing and how they think. In this case, Lloyd (head writer, it seems) let it all out – his image on his post “Are the rich responsible for climate change?” is right above you.
I keep asking the same question. If everything is supposed to be free, why is it that Socialists never “lead the way.” Ask Bernie Sanders. Now that he can “retire” as a Socialist to one of his many (snicker) homes, are you going to sell one in order to feed the newly made poor due to Government actions during this “crisis”?
Frank Knight could never have joined those of the self-selected elite who, in idea or practice, seek to plan, steer, or direct the lives of those who are excluded. He was a classical liberal, not because he predicted that only with widespread individual liberty would desired results be generated, but because the liberal order is … Read more
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 … Read more
We all understand at this point Congress likes to use bad news to hide the passage of bad policy. Make bad policy into law and the damage becomes nearly irreversible. Some elected officials are trying to attach medical price control to the China Virus bill. This builds socialism and cronyism into our legal and regulatory system.
It will be quite fun to watch the Presidential Debates. If, as Joe has said, he and Bernie share common ideals, but he can’t remember what they are, Trump can twist him into knots over what he has said and hasn’t.
The Left hates the words looters and producers in the same sentence in talking about politics – they KNOW the words are aimed at them. Of COURSE, they are – their words and actions (their legislation and their votes) out themselves.
