Repost-  Link Was Broken

Donald Trump broke the presidency.  It's time to get rid of the job altogether. USA TODAY Donald Trump is proof that the U.S. presidency is broken and democracy is in peril. It's time to amend the Constitution and abolish the presidency. "Russia attacked our country; the target was Hillary Clinton and liberal democracy and they hit their mark. If you’re stunned that President Donald Trump is still in office because he’s so horrible and so unpopular and so obviously corrupt — you are not alone — the overwhelming majority agrees with you. Only about 25 percent of eligible voters voted for President Grab ‘Em By The P----. Yet, the majority was apparently powerless to stop him."   [I AM NOT MAKING THIS UP] note .... I only found this after listening to a Limbo broadcast

Shooting Tom Jefferson in the Face

The Color of War "... the most important and most dangerous restructuring of Senate rules since Thomas Jefferson wrote them at the beginning of our country,” “ “This is the most important and most dangerous restructuring of Senate rules since Thomas Jefferson wrote them at the beginning of our country,” declared Senator Lamar Alexander, Republican of Tennessee. “It’s another raw exercise of political power to permit the majority to do whatever it wants whenever it wants to do it.” ADA's president is Lynn Woolsey. Its vice presidents include such notables as Elijah Cummings, Eleanor Holmes Norton, and Jan Schakowsky. And among its honorary presidents are Barney Frank, John Lewis, Jim McDermott, George McGovern, and Charles Rangel. The organization's national director is Michael Wilson, a former official with the United Food and Commercial Workers International Union. (Discover The Networks) The decision to press the button on the so-called nuclear option was no doubt cathartic for a Democratic majority driven to distraction by Republican obstructionism. President Obama had predicted his re-election would break the partisan fever gripping Washington, especially since the Tea Party movement swept Republicans to control of the House. It did not. “Doing nothing was no longer an option,” said Senator Tom Udall of New Mexico, one of a new breed of Democrats who have pressed to reform Senate rules. "... one of the new breed of Democrats who have pressed to reform Senate rules...," says the New York Times,  after sticking their heads out of the cloistered confines of brick wall Liberalism,  and blinded by light.   The Americans For Democratic Action combined average score for Senate Democrats in 2012 was 90% (Republican-12%), much the same as the 2010 chart above.  The numbers spiked upward, from 70% to 90%,  during the the Clinton era. New breed, indeed. You will be very hard pressed to find any disagreement between the ADA and  Communist Party USA (CPUSA) since the late 80's,  when Democrats began ratcheting leftward in a big way.  It is, or should be, the "DUH" of the year to say that Communism is inimical to the American Way of Life we all claim to love, even as Liberals throw great chunks of it down the sewer on a regular basis.  By any standard then, this is the picture of today's two party system, no hyperbole intended,  The only difference is that Democrats have succeeded where the Red armies could not.  'Nuff said.  ”

Crossing the Yalu

Police State Culture                    Holder Grants Gov. Ability to Develop and Store Dossiers on Innocent Americans “ As seen on TV In a secret government agreement granted without approval or debate from lawmakers, the U.S. attorney general recently gave the National Counterterrorism Center sweeping new powers to store dossiers on U.S. citizens, even if they are not suspected of a crime, according to a news report. The changes granted by Holder would also allow databases containing information about U.S. citizens to be shared with foreign governments for their own analysis. A former senior White House official told the Journal that the new changes were “breathtaking in scope.” But counterterrorism officials tried to downplay the move by telling the Journal that the changes come with strict guidelines about how the data can be used.[Full] "Innocent Americans" to Holder and his ilk are everyone not voting (at least once per cycle)  for Obama. That is neither an attempt at humor, nor an overstatement. When the President of the United States uses the Executive Order to impose gun controls, you know government have crossed the Yalu River.  It's "anything goes" with this lot.

Socialism's Shadow

Anti Gummint Rants

*Burp*

I often wondered what I did  in the darkness that envelops me after I indulge in a Manhattan enema.  I think I know.  I write stuff on napkins at the O Club, and call myself  "Old Spook."  Except the booze makes me much smarter while I'm there, and my stuff is all copacetic.   Then I come here and wallow around. “ g Old Spook #1 Face reality: as long as the Dems and non-conservative Republicans run DC, the market will be distorted by government interference and regulation. They only choice you have is to force a less intrusive (but intrusive nonetheless) solution, and then work to whittle it down, and dig in at the grass roots to put more people like Cantor and Coburn into office. They can unwind this mess but it will take years. And it will take money, hard work and time to overcome the shallowness of the lazy ignorant or leftist indoctrinated voters. That means, as we say in church, you need to put your time, treasure and talent to work for your belief. Or you can just get angry and sputter and rage impotently. I've done both. The former is harder, but better. Term limits is a good place to start. Most of the trouble comes from people like Barney Frank and Chris Dodd who have been entrenched in DC for too long by willing idiots. And it hits the GOP as well - look how fossilized Trent Lott become. 8 years is enough as a president, it should be enough as a congressional rep. 2 terms is good enough for a president, it should be good enough as a senator. Lets at least give clearing the decks a fighting chance. Start there. g Old Spook #2 It was so much simpler when I could kill people and break things. Agreed. Time may be coming to wipe the thing (US GOvernment) clean and start all over again. Or at least haul it into drydock and remove 200+ years of barnacles. A lot of this goes back to the fundamental error: the 16th amendment and the subsequence Revenue ACt of 1913, as well as expansionist judges overly broadening the "commerce" clause to allow the Federal Government into far too many things. The question is how do we remove the cancer without killing the patient at the same time? ” How come my ass hurts?

VETS FOR FREEDOM CRASH THE BUSH LEGACY BUS

USA! UAS! USA!

“ The anti-Bush mobile museum dubbed “The Bush Legacy Tour” bus rolled its way through Denver for the Democratic Convention this week, and your Founding Bloggers took the dime tour to see first-hand how Moveon-dot-org would write the Bush legacy if given a chance. To get a taste for yourself how unbalanced this display of partisanship is, you can visit the official website of the tour. The themes are well known to most; worst economy ever, responsible for Katrina damage, destroying the environment, doing big oil’s bidding…blah blah blah. The truly offensive section on the bus though is the Iraq installation. Americans United For Change, the people who are responsible for rolling out this mobile museum, don’t seem to have any problem showing insurgent snuff-films for political gain, or calling the war a failure while we have troops in the field fighting and winning the battle.

Pelosi's Book Burning

Nancy Nazi

Because baby progressives were wrongly taught that the opposite of Communism is National Socialism, they overuse the word "Nazi," right after yelling "racist," when on the losing end of any argument.  Nevertheless, the so called "Fairness Doctrine," and Nancy Nazi's role in  trying to impose it, is directly parallel to Nazi  book burning in the 1930s.  A blatant attempt to silence talk radio, because "progressive" voices are unable to compete in the free exchange of ideas.  To the extent that Stalinism exists in this country, it manifests itself in today's Democratic Party.  That's right.  There are no practical differences between the tyranny of Nazis and Commies where freedom is concerned.
