I'm still trying to figure out what the idiot ( who we are now told, killed himself, after getting shot by the police ) was doing at a Sikh temple, and not a mosque or a synagogue? ( racial supreme types tend to anti-semitism. Remember Poland? )
While I'm in rant mode... Liberal, despite what the idiot Rush L. says, ( must be an idiot, says so on the cover of a book written by a man elected Senator. By Illegal felon's votes. ) does not mean the same as Progressive.
I'm a Liberal. Equal pay for equal work, no matter the skin color or genitalia. Equal rights. You know, Liberal stuff.
Progressives, OTOH, are the children of Marx. Not the funny one. Over a century ago, realizing that the United States could not be violently overthrown ( all those gun crazy Americans wouldn't let you ) The idea was born to use the carrot, or rather, cotton candy, instead of the stick. In the simplest terms, lie. Get into power, by lying about your intentions. Once in power, slide the "reforms" you want in, and lie about both WHY you want to change things in that manner, and WHAT you figure that change will bring.
How do I know this? Glenn Beck didn't cry and convince me, Rush doesn't even know, and the Internet, at the time, was a Darpa project to ensure communications after massive nuclear attack. ( I STILL have friends who work in deep, deep bunkers for that very reason. No, I won't tell you where. )
No, I found out because I ASKED.
Way back in High School, I did independent study on politics, political parties, law enforcement, etc. Liberal teachers. Great days. We volunteered for political campaigns to see what really happens. We went through the whole arrest procedure, as arrestees, and as observers, following trials from arrest to conviction.
Naturally, as a teen, I was ignorant, and sure how smart I was. Naturally I was wrong about how smart I was and how dumb my parents were, since they worked for a living and payed taxes to a corrupt, fascist government. So I sent to the Communist Party USA, and asked. How does Communism Work? How do you make it happen? How can I help? How do I become a neighborhood organizer? ( just coincidentally, that was the current President's job. Paid well. Very odd, that. )
I was enthusiastic, honest in my quest for wisdom, and wrote everything up.... you know, to get a grade.
The CPUSA was thrilled to have a young eager fellow join them, so they sent me stuff. Pointed out books. Gave me the info I needed to become an Organizer. Taught me Dialectic Materialism. Turned me on to Alinsky. ( coincidentally, the Sec State's Thesis was on Alinsky. I've read it. It's well written. The President's mentors at Harvard were acolytes of Saul Alinsky. No one alive knows what HIS thesis was on. )
So I learned. I read the history of the Labor Movement. The Temperance Movement. The Progressive Movement.
I admit, the fine points of the Dialectic have always alluded me. You are supposed to be able to put any argument in the "have you quit beating your wife" mode, so that all possible answers serve your purpose. Not, the truth, your purpose. Which is to win by any means necessary.
But what I really learned, was that the Lie was the basis for all things leftist.
You can't tell people you wish to take all their stuff, and give it to your buddies. They get angry, and won't let you. So you lie. You can't admit that your funding comes from the Soviet Union, and your Masters are in Moscow. So you lie.
You can't tell people that your Affordable Health Care Act ( or racial quotas, or racist immigration laws, or....) is designed to ruin the existing system, so you can put one in that gives you all the wealth and power. So you lie.
Every single step of the path to power is paved with the lies you utter, and the lives you ruin with those lies.
Let's face it, Marx didn't come up with one new idea, but he did package the ideas he stole and wrapped them in a package that could be sold.
It's like the Vegamatic. Didn't work in 1968, didn't work in 1988, doesn't work now, but they changed the name and got a guy that yells to sell it, and It Sells.
On Conservatives.
Haven't met many that are across the board, go-back-to-the-50's nutjobs. There are a few. Hard to find.
Mostly, they seem to glom onto a few ideas, like a limited constitutional government, and hang their hat on it. In a lot of matters, like Equal pay for equal work, they seem pretty liberal, to me.
I'm happy to mock the ones that think "Happy Days" was real. In the real Wis. Fonzie was a thug. Chachi was a rapist, etc.
I'm just as happy to mock the idiots that buy the propaganda from the left. Those who are self righteous about their enlightened views, while following the most racist, evil, murderous people.
To be fair, not all Democrats are racist, evil, murderers. Very few murder people. Really, only the leadership is evil. Not even all of them. But enough. Enough.
I dunno about the "America as Corporation" business. Seems like a distraction to keep you off the real problems.
"prison industrial complex"... Some truth to that.
Jump on him? Ok, guilty. Tell me that a picture of 1960's southern rednecks are Conservative, in the modern sense, and I figure you are full of crap. I suppose they WERE "conservative" in a sense. The sense that a conservative want's no change... ( the actual term is "reactionary", btw ) he's right.
Still think Progressives are evil. By intent. It's in the charter.

In Bill Whittle's video, can somebody tell me why the stars are inverted on the Republican elephant logo?
The old logo had them the correct way up. The old logo also had the elephant facing to the left.
Inverted Pentagram The pentagram may be inverted with one point down. The implication is of spirit subservient to matter, of man subservient to his carnal desires. The inverted pentagram has come to be seen by many pagans as representing the dark side and it is abhored as an evil symbol. Fundamental christians, indeed, see any form of pentagram as such. However, these are recent developments and the inverted pentagram is the symbol of Gardnerian second degree initiation, representing the need of the witch to learn to face the darkness within so that it may not later rise up to take control. The centre of a pentagram implies a sixth formative element - love/will which controls from within, ruling matter and spirit by Will and the controlled magickal direction of sexual energies. This is another lesson of initiation.
Bill Whittle always speaks as though the original Constitution is still in effect. He speaks of Fascists. Fasces are prominent in the House of Congress. Do they still signify the original meaning?
Just checked GOP.com. That's the logo. I guess we have to assume that satanists run the party now.
Good, that'd be an improvement.
Wiccans would have the stars point up.
It's kind of cute that the elephant seems to be peeking out, or emerging. Ah! the power of iconography.
Geedee. Sure fascists are big in congress. Barry often shows all the signs of a fascist, and not just his habitual Mussolini 'look down his nose at you peasants' posture. It's like he got crappy grades on communism and fascism is school, but remembered the "lie to get your way" part.
I'm beginning to think your "corporatist America" business is a deliberate distraction form what's REALLY going on.
Face it, even IF the President and all of Congress were controlled by Alien entities stuck leechlike to their Spines, what are you going to do about it? ( R.A.Heinleins' "Puppet Masters" )
RE: the shooting near A&M, I have read that the officer who was shot first was serving the shooter eviction papers. This was not a random shooting. Odd that about half of the new articles leave that part out. Reporting random gun violence suits their agenda apparently.
Of course it's not gong to happen the same way....
Bearing in mind the 9/11 folk that are utterly convinced that Bush planted explosives.... "because skyscrapers don't fall down like that". ( really? How many have you watched fall? ) I do try not to be too obviously conspiracy oriented.
After all, just because the President tells us it's within his power to try, convict, and order the execution of anyone he wants, citizen, or not, or have them arrested, in secret and hidden, forever... brags about it, and assures us he'd never abuse the Imperial power he Insisted he get.... illegally, from Congress... ( who does not have the power to give such power... by law ) is no reason to have paranoid feelings. Not at all.
Unless, the Prez was from Chi-town, learned politics from anarcho-communist mass murderers, has concealed his past, and seems to have anger management issues....
Even then, no worries, unless the Homeland security folk declared that people who like the Constitution, because it limits the President's power, are terrorists ( Potential ) and therfor... the people the Prez has himself declared he passes death sentence on........
Naw, too obvious.
It's just the natural agenda of those who deeply hate sheepdogs.
