I'll wait. -- Andrew Muzi www.yellowjersey.org/ Open every day since 1 April, 1971 You'll be waiting for a long time, Andrew. The problem is that the American Left has been doing this vicious and immoral crap for so long -- Bobby Kennedy set the tone and his fat little brother industrialized the process of abusing power -- that they think Lois Lerner persecuting her president's opponents is how a civil servant *should* behave. They just don't know any better, and they don't want to know better. And when you corner them and they have no answers to obvious abuses -- and abusers like Janet Reno and Lois Lerner (fine examples of feminist empowerment, those two!) -- they scoff and sneer about "reptilians". AJ The only reptilian slime I see in this thread was dragged in by Reno and Lerner You have your own Tony Robinson persecution over there. -- Andrew Muzi www.yellowjersey.org/ Open every day since 1 April, 1971 What continues to amaze me is the entire population of this country can see people like Beattie looking down their noses at everyone else but they cannot see themselves for what they are. One of the big-time lawyers that rides with us contracted cancer and looking at mortality he has become introspective and sees the legal profession entirely different now. He sees a large percentage of the problems in this country as coming directly from them. Congresspeople that measure their success in the numbers of new laws that they pass and not if the laws were ever necessary or if they could ever have been enforced except in the cases of Janet Reno and her ilk as little more than torture devices. Trump issued an executive order that for every new regulation, two old ones should be repealed. Apparently, not all civil servants are members of the Deep State: for every new regulation passed, the Trump administration has deepsixed 21 old regulations. Andre Jute Credit where it is due PS Tom, I came to your post about Trump being a moderate a bit late because my computer crashed and it took a while to set up the spare and transfer terabytes of stuff I've written and the supporting research. But I agree with you. If the Democrats were awake, or at least could see past the blood in their eyes, they'd embrace Trump as one of their own; after all, cutting immigration will cause Republican lawmakers a lot of pain when their constituents and corporate donors start screaming that they can't make a buck if Trump takes away their cheap, newly immigrated labour. And if the Republicans weren't so spineless, they would remember that Trump was forever a Democrat, until he saw an opportunity to supplant a weak Republican presidential slate. The same as to the Democrats applies to the Europeans. If they weren't so blinkered (their default mode, and in this I include the British*, is to hate the Americans) they would see that Trump is a pragmatic mixed economy welfare stater well to the left of Mrs Thatcher, a man after their own hearts. * The late Enoch Powell, one of the two most beautiful speakers of proper English (the other was Alistair Cooke), once said to me, "People like you, who were educated in the United States, who love Americans for all the right reasons, cannot see that they are dangerous." Most British and allied intellectuals (but not the Irish!) hide their disdain for Americans behind a very thin veil of tolerance of crude colonial cousins. Andre - you don't seem to like moderates. Let's remember that taking the actual speeches into account, John F. Kennedy was as Republican as most of todays moderate Republicans. Unfortunately he had the Democrat trait of fixing the economy by starting wars. While we're remembering, the Democrats didn't like Nixon because, despite being in Washington longer than most of them, he was an outsider. At the time I wrote an unsigned leader (code for an editorial representing the official view of the newspaper) making the case that Nixon was being impeached simply because they didn't like him. What they're trying to do to Trump is just an intensified version of what they did to Nixon, with a lot of help from Nixon, another parallel to our time. AJ Ah, nostalgia ain't what it used to be |

AJ Ah, nostalgia ain't what it used to be The part I find most disturbing is that Trump is being more successful than any other President in modern history. And yet that very success that is bringing more riches to this country and pretty soon the world is what the left despises the most. Is this because success of capitalism means and absolute end to socialism? You would think that socialism had designed its own death long ago with the lives of millions under their own leaders but somehow it still rebounds. And here in the US they manage to blame it all on the Republicans which should be impossible. But as long as they have teachers willing to forego history and people willing to pit one against another to gain power I expect it will continue until it is made far too dangerous to do so. I think that it is simple - freedom of speech does not include the right to commit treason or any of the other crimes listed under the treason laws. Teach Marxism in any manner that a peculiarity of history that murdered a hundred million people and you go to the noose. |
