Against Stupidity. . .

There are comment threads on social media that seem designed to be proof that Mark Twain was right when he said, “No amount of evidence will ever persuade an idiot,” and that Schiller expressed an eternal truth [via Talbot in “Maid of Orleans”] when he wrote, “Against stupidity, the gods themselves contend in vain.”

Sadly, more and more, social media seems all too often to reflect the real world society around us. . . *sigh*

No Kings? Fight the Oligarchy?

Recent behaviors of judges and SCOTUS justices have highlighted a profoundly stupid credence given by many (most?) to the idea of judicial supremacy, especially the supremacy of the SCOTUS in deciding what is/is not constitutional.
The Founders saw such a view as repugnant and dangerous, and the Constitution in no way, shape, fashion, or form bestows such a power upon the courts, including the SCOTUS. Jefferson, for example, variously wrote such comments as,
“You seem … to consider the judges as the ultimate arbiters of all constitutional questions: a very dangerous doctrine indeed and one which would place us under the despotism of an Oligarchy.”
And,
“Certainly there is not a word in the constitution which has given that power to them [SCOTUS] more than to the Executive or Legislative branches.”
Want to “fight the oligarchy”? start with the judicial branch, especially the SCOTUS.

Read Article III. Heck, read,

Founding Principles

Not of the United States. No, the founding principles of the Democratic Party: envy and greed, resulting in covetousness, resulting in the Democratic Party’s first “great work,” the Trail of Tears.

The current Dhimmi-craps have advanced, though. Now, in addition to envy and greed, they have embraced misery. The party creates misery and inflicts it on its constituency. . .with the aid of that constituency, knowing full well the tendency for misery to love company. . . and that the only thing misery loves more than company is creating more misery for others who are not yet among their miserable number.

Easy to rile people up when they are consumed with envy, greed, and misery of their own creation.

39% of Democrats Admit Supporting Terrorism

The accepted definition of terrorism is, “the use of violence against non-combatants to achieve political or ideological aims.”

39% of Democrats View Vandalism Against Tesla as Appropriate Form of Protest

That is textbook terrorism.

Yeh, 39% of Dhimmi-craps admit they support terrorism. Not surprising. What is surprising is that ONLY 39% admit it.

The article does get something wrong: “The Democratic Party is now leaderless, directionless, and no longer stands for anything.” No, the party does have leaders. The leaders are all ENCOURAGING terrorism (no surprise, since they have a history of allowing, even encouraging sending billions of dollars to foreign terrorists and have a history of encouraging domestic violence by verbal encouragement, by dismissing charges for arson, looting, and violence against persons, even giving money for bailing out violent criminals and offering pardons, etc.).

The Dhimmi-crap Party definitely has a direction: tearing down the republic, dumbing down the electorate (whenever it is not corrupting it by voting cemeteries, forging mail-in ballots, etc.), pushing anarcho-tyranny both through lawfare against political opponents and oppression of common citizens and through encouraging outlawry by others, and on and on.

And it does have things it stands for. Sadly for America, ALL the things it stands for are bad for America, bad for Americans, and bad for the world as a whole.

At this point, I fear the best we can do is encourage the Dhimmi-crap Party to continue its slow (but accelerating) political and institutional suicide. (It’s in bad taste, though, to stand on the sidelines and cheer them on. Bad taste, but fun anyway.)

Political Dumbassery

Politics. #smh What leftard politicians and Hivemind Media Podpeople simply cannot understand is that their attacks on Trump’s cabinet picks are simply them digging the hole they are already in deeper. Take Kash Patel, for example. They cannot attack his record, because it is sterling. Did I say “sterling”? Nay, solid platinum. So? “Oh, yeh, let’s attack his demeanor and his attitude! That’ll do the trick! He just doesn’t fit with the FBI’s image and ethos.”

What they cannot see (because they are willfully blind) is that no rational, ethical, moral person approves of the ethos and image of the Felonious Barony of Iniquity. It is like Crabby Appleton: rotten to the core, and thus it should either be given an institutional purgative or completely razed to the ground.

Freedom! (?)

You do realize the two greatest benefits that would accrue from going back to a federal government that actually operated within the confines of its delegated powers, right?

    1. Elimination of at least 80% of the government workforce (since at least that much of the “feddle gummint” is outside constitutional legitimacy). It’d be MUCH less expensive to put all those bureaucraps on welfare than to continue to pay them and have them waste even more money on illegitimate crap.
  1.  Get the “feddle (rhymes with ‘meddle’) gummint” out of your life, as long as you do not violate the ACTUAL inherent rights of others.

Add in the FairTax and the federal government could become what it was intended to be: a defender of inerent rights whose significance is only brought to mind when it stomps on thugs violating (GENUINE, INHERENT) individual rights and on patriotic holidays.

It’d be a start. . .

So, I Saw a T-Shirt. . .

. . .that I can’t quite get behind, IYKWIMAITTYD.

Nah. That’s WAY too friendly, and besides, feds aren’t my type. You know, human. I’m not into bestiality, ya know. (Ya can’t blame me for dehumanizing the feds, because they have done it to themselves.)
