This sounds like the Democrats who believe they “own” the Black, Brown, Gays, and the rest of the insolent Democrat Identity Political Totem Pole groups (“How DARE you leave us!”). But as always, the goal is to always embrace and surround and then absorb their allies. Then DEMAND that those allies can never leave – … Read more
From single massive mainframe computers (e.g., IBM 360/370, Multics) to networks of “minicomputers” (e.g., Digital Equipment, Wang Labs, Honeywell) to hordes of standalone Personal Computers, and now tablets, smartphones, and “the Cloud,” compute power has gone from expensive and centralized to cheaper and distributed. No one that I know of has said that this has … Read more
Especially with people, whose inner Totalitarian is leaping out of their chests, in charge. And it really doesn’t have to be at the Federal level. The good Lord above knows we had our fair share more locally. Have at it, readers – just let it fly!
Yet another valid question for Debra Stevens, ye of “ravenous gun culture” infamy – how did I ever do it: get out alive after going to 25 (or much more) gun show without even a scratch on my ever delicate skin? Just like millions upon millions every year? Hmmm, those guns just LAID there – … Read more
F.A. or Selma! (H/T: Powerline)
OK, so Newsweek was only right about the Left – I dare say that only US Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) is about the only Blue Dog Democrat (think centrist, even if Left of that center).
So, Kathy Sullivan – tell me this: with respect to “truth in advertising” (a form of speech as well, right??), is the Democrat Party going to rebrand itself as THE Socialist Party of the US? After all, look at all the hooha over Democrat Socialist of America rising star Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez? And that the current Democrat National Committee Chair Tom Perez openly stated that this openly Socialist candidate is the future of your Party. Add to that the ideas (and political speech) from YOUR Democrat candidates Levi Sanders and Steve Marchand who are right there with her? And that Molly Kelly isn’t all that far behind them?
Seems like the Earl of Metzler is coming up against “the rabble” (normally called students and people paying his salary) more and more. So he has arbitrarily decided to become like those college campuses that haven’t the foggiest idea of what the First Amendment Free Speech clause is all about. Instead – he “deigns” to decide who can speak, where they can speak, where they can speak, and when they disagree with him, not to speak at all. Free Speech? Ah, outmoded like the Second Amendment! After all, “safety” is the bugaboo of tyrants and totalitarians (and those that threaten Power) everywhere (reformatted, emphasis mine):
The superintendent of the Timberlane Regional School District is defending his decision to have a small group of student demonstrators removed from school grounds during a peaceful protest over possible staffing cuts Wednesday night. Approximately 15 to 20 students and adults with signs of support gathered outside the school administrative offices at 30 Greenough Road around 6:30 p.m., but police ordered them to leave the property and move their vehicles out of the parking lot. The demonstration was held amid uncertainty over whether dozens of teachers and other staff members will get pink slips because of a budget shortfall. Plaistow resident Kathy Slade — one of the adults who participated in the protest — said they had to park elsewhere because they were told they were not allowed to park on school property, including at the high school next door even though it was after hours. “I wasn’t surprised, but I was disappointed,” she said.
Metzler said the reason why he didn’t allow the demonstrators on school property was because the group had not communicated with him directly before the event to explain exactly what was planned and how many people would be participating. Metzler said if the organizers “took the responsible precautions and notified us, we certainly would have assisted,” he said. Metzler said it all came down to the safety of students and protecting school buildings and property.
How DARE they violate his Royalness, his Royal Washington Monument Syndrome tactic, and his Royal Property –
