McCain made a lot of mistakes. He was a true RINO. And...death does not excuse true mistakes - is just makes those who speak truth, look like the bad guy.
Todays politics are a mess, but again...not our President's fault. He calls it like it is. He denounces violence, denounces anger, denounces polarity, denounces racism, denounces prejudice.
Guess which side encourages all of those? Preys on them?
Read. With an open mind. Watch first-hand videos, and SEE what they say, without bias or "translation", and make your own decisions. DJT isn't the bad guy. He's a target, because he had the *nerve* to beat the Anointed One, Hilary.
Our President is not the Savior, and I have no illusions he is so..but...there are parallels:
John 16:13: “However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come.”
Transparency. Non-PC. Call it like it is. Don't make it up, be open...and people on both sides can make their case for, or against. And...truth shall win. Every time. There will be battles, and that's what our political environment is today, everything coming to a head. But...in the end, Good will win. You know it...I know it...the Left knows it.
And that's why they're so scared.
The devil bowed his head because he knew that he'd been beat and he laid that golden fiddle on the ground at johnny's feet Johnny said, devil just come on back if you ever wanna try again i done told you once you son of a bitch i'm the best that's ever been.
The Left doesn't have to like it. they don't have to agree. But when it all comes down...Truth will win.
I'm sure you've read The Stand. If not...do so. For pop fiction...it is incredibly sentient.
I'm on record as not liking the Bad Orange Man. I don't like his blowhard persona, his tv show, his crassness, nor his quick temper.
But by their Enemies you shall know them.
The Obama appointed heads of the FBI, NSA, CIA, and Obama's national security adviser, all IIRC lied under oath to Congress and You about illegal activities spying on Americans. And worse.
And they all hate Trump. Passionately.
And they all lied about Trump.
The Obama administration Attorney Generals were criminals.
Lynch, is under investigation for interfering in a criminal & security case involving Hillary, where her husband met her in suspicious circumstances in planes at the airport with the intent there would be no witnesses or record. The best you can say is her actions may be influenced by threats against her and her family.
We can assume her part in the lie about Trump fraud just came naturally.
Holder infamously ran the illegal gun running operation to Mexican drug cartels, in an attempt to make Obama's lies true and take away your second amendment rights. Acted as a facilitator in bribes for pardons program. Lied repeatedly under oath on multiple subjects.
You couldn't ask for better references.
If these folk above hate & lie about you then may be you are ok.
International references include being hated by the ex-East German secret police German leader, the communist French leader, the anti Semitic communist English Party leaders, and the God King Xi of China.
Again, awesome character references. It's a list I'd be proud to call enemies.
As to Trump's ACTUAL ACTIONS, it's a mixed bag. Some things I seriously disagree with. And many have been blocked by radical judges and a hostile Congress.
Oh, yeah, if Congress hates you..... That's a great character reference.
I don't have to like the Bad Orange Man to appreciate his success or deplore his twits.
I don't have to like the Bad Orange Man to appreciate his success or deplore his twits.
I don't have to like you. Just DO YOUR JOB. And...he is.
I appreciate his no-bullshit style; I've worked on construction sites, and my father was from NY, so I get it. Could he use some refinement? Probably. But until it starts causing problems with the results...go for it.
His personality isn't why the press, and Congress, and the FBI, and the O'Minions and Clintons all hate him. They all hate him because he's putting sunshine on their shady/illegal actions. They hate him because he beat The Anointed One. They hate him because they can't turn him. It has nothing to do with his personality - that is simply their excuse because they can't admit in public that he's exposing their illegal activities and they're scared to death about it.
Because admitting that, would mean admitting to the illegal actions in the first place.
Hey friends. I've posted this elsewhere on the BW, but it's relevant here and very well worth listening to. One of the best songs I've heard in a long time, hope we can make something of it one day. Steel Woods will be coming to the Shed next month, I'll be there. The entire CD is great, top shelf lyrics and musicianship. I've sent this CD to a few of youn's.
Old News.
Wow... if you let that play, the next song is awesome too.
If he was still alive I'd say feel free to mock him. But IMHO you should reserve such attacks to dead politicians that deserve to be remembered as monsters. Like LBJ. Robert Strange McNamara, or J.Edgar Hoover.
I'd vote to desecrate the graves each year & have a national holiday on the occasion, for at least the first two.
His death did not change my opinion of him. I used to like him, but the last 10-15 years, he was essentially a democrat. He did all but caucus with them.
As someone who's Union Brothers were murdered by the Anthrax attacks on some Congresscritters, ( who were unharmed ) I've been furious with the misconduct of the FBI in both the malicious treatment of the falsely accused, and the failure to find the murderer.
The most troubling aspects were deliberate leaks that the accused and presumably innocent men were "persons of interest", which this not a lawyer guy didn't know was a Legal term and sounds like Soviet propaganda, like "enemy of the State". It sure seems like an inescapable slander laid on someone to deliberately ruin their lives. An unproven and dangerous implication that someone is presumed guilty until proven innocent.
This persecution led many law abiding citizens with technical expertise to the realization that knowing how a crime may be committed, can get you turned from a consultant to a suspect by the FBI. Typical FBI agents have degrees in law, criminal justice, or accounting. Confronted by technology behind their grasp they seemed, under Director Mueller, to declare guilty anyone who has expertise in the technical aspects of the crime. In fields like hacking, cryptography, biology, etc. FBI agents tended to automatically consider competence to be equal to guilt.
Thus selflessly volunteering expertise became a risky business when the Feebs were involved.
A bizzaro world of imagined Columbo perps.
Columbia was a tv detective where the murderer inevitability would try and "assist" the bumbling detective to throw off his investigation, only to be trapped by the concealed cleverness of Columbo in the final scene. "Only an expert in Japanese poisonous fish would give the victim's chef a Fugu fish to prepare for his meal on the anniversary of his wife's death, when he always ate alone at a table with two place settings. The murderer would have to know the victim's habit of remembering her in this manner, and You, Sir! Knew This because you were always jealous of the victim for winning her hand in marriage, and etc.etc." Inevitably leading to the Scooby Doo rant from the villain that he would have got away with it, if not....
And meanwhile, as the FBI hounded a brilliant but unstable man to death, and falsely accused another, the murderer of multiple innocent Postal workers and a Grandma is still on the loose. With the FBI seeming to have zero interest in further investigation.
That's the culture that Mueller fostered in his "service" as Director.
He is largely responsible for today's belief that it's insane to talk to the Feds at all, because they have a habit of entrapment with zero interest in guilt or justice.
Personally, I have no issue with Ebutch's take on John McCain(sp?). I WAs impressed and optimistic when he appeared in politics. Then I watched him sell out to "the power". POS sellout.
I believe he is in a very special hell now.
It's hard to say who's in hell. Hard to say who's sold out to power. I'm not one to judge... but I can guess.
If your belief is that John McCain is in a very special Hell, dang, man.
Ebutch can't elaborate. No meme, no communicate. He just regurgitates something someone else produced.
In a bizzaro world, which we kinda live in now, I'd love to meet up with Ed for a ride. He's got some sweet ones. Don't know what we'd talk about except BBQ.
Ironic that they must fear the truth. The family separation policy was Obama's.
As we knew that the Obama regime laundered tens, perhaps hundreds of millions in illegal foreign campaign contributions, it's the folk in his administration that should be prosecuted, not blacklisted.
That doesn't even consider folk like Susan Rice & Hillary, who lied about the Benghazi attack on our consulate, accusing a petty video maker for it. Instead of their program to smuggle weapons to AQ through Turkey.
They both belong in prison for destroying a person's life as part of their treason, aiding an enemy, AQ, in time of war. Yes, I count Congressional approval for use of military force. AQ with Obama's aid, money & guns, metastasized into ISIS.
Personal destruction is a key aspect of the Alinsky method of lying to take power & wealth. It's obvious from both the above "brand new organization" which I will bet is funded by George Soros, and Congressional hearings where Republican nominees are accused of bad behavior in college, and probably preschool, a practice that long predates Trump's admin.
And never forget, that protest to call for Trump's impeachment, is sponsored by MoveOn.org, a Hydra/Soros corporation created to defend Bill Clinton during his impeachment.
The darkest impulses are justified, really, rationalized, as a response to the propaganda of the most murderous, dishonest, intolerant religion ever deliberately built by the species. Anti-Semitic, Anti-Christian, conscious rejection of the religions that define right from wrong.
I don't recall the original thinker on this, but it's the very idea that you should control your impulses to steal, rape, murder, that is the reason the Left hates Jews and Christians. Resentment of any morality that demands self control.
That's true, as far as I can tell, and as far as it goes. But it's deeper than that, more comprehensive, rationalized hate, rationalized violence, rationalized theft, deliberate choices by the leaders/exploiters of the "movement" from before Marx put pen to paper.
An easy, well documented, example is Che Guevara. The t-shirt guy. The poster on the wall at Obama campaign offices. ( instead of a painting of Jesus ) His press release praised his brothers in revolution in Africa, while his diary reveals his racist hatred for the Africans he exploited for the Cause.
Worshippers of Baal tossing babies in the fire at their temple were moral giants in comparison. ( to be fair, the High Priests may have been as evil, cynical scum, but couldn't be worse )
Note that the Church of Satan's leaders accuse the Left of being so evil Lucifer would be offended by calling the Left Satanic.
That pretty much defines a position on the spectrum of morality well beyond visible light & into the unseen colors that are radiation that corrupts the processes of life.
Footnote. Credit for romanticized rationalization of uncontrolled lust, violence, the unchained darkest desires, should go to Jean-Jacques Rousseau.
This is a prediction, not a threat or boast. Someone will get attacked by these thugs, and have the attitude that "If I'm going to get hurt, I'm taking you with me" and latch onto the closest or most threatening attacker and do some serious damage.
The traditional response to a group attack by anyone with training, after "run away", is to go for the leadership and try and make an example so the others back off out of fear/caution. Repeat as needed, then escape. And the appropriate level of force in a situation where you are in legitimate fear for your life, is unlimited. ( being beat to death by a gang/mob isn't fantasy, it even happens "accidentally" "Oh we just meant to scare him a little, when we kicked him in the head after knocking him down and throwing bricks at him" )
Yeah, you may indeed have a hard time in court when the persecutor is asking the jury how you could justify damaging someone until they stopped moving, or shoot them more than once, or whatever insane limitation he rationalizes you should have used. That's unavoidable. ( Although it has been mentioned that hand loading "extra deadly" ammunition will be used against you, thus factory ammo is safer both from a statistical reliability & legal liability standpoint. Ditto carrying any kind of weapon may be used in an accusation that you were looking for trouble. )
Or to put it bluntly someone is going to get killed and the victim of the assault is going to get crucified in the press, and probably by the courts.
