"The progressive vision for the rest of us...

...disarmed, jammed into cities, stacked like cordwood while they fly over us in their private jets."


Sounds about right.

Leftism is not just a mental disorder...it is a mental disorder willingly embraced by its victims.  When one knowingly and willingly abandons logic and reason, can they even rightly call themselves human?

You cannot reason someone out of a stance he was not reasoned into. 

A Leftist is not someone who has an alternative political philosophy to yours, or different reasons. He is someone who, in the realm of politics, has decided to eschew philosophy and abandon reason. 

Leftism is what you get when you stop reasoning, kill it dead, and substitute word fetishes instead.

This guy, while he leans left, still has some common sense:

We are a nation of cowards. We are a nation of cowards, of sniveling pathetic cowards enforcing our fears with jackboots and guns upon those who do not share our fears. And men and women of courage? If they are not shot down, they have their children taken away, they are sent to jail, they are forced into penury. Because there is nothing that a nation of cowards fears more than those with courage. 

Nothing. 

That is all.

And Kerodin points out one of the many symptoms of a dying nation:

This post isn't big-think.  It is simply observations and conclusions over many years that support a broader narrative.  America is devolving because the vast majority of people living among us no longer aspire to standards of a first world nation.  Pride and self respect are rapidly losing their place in society among our Countrymen.  Entropy is on display.

And it is only to be fixed when people are no longer given the necessities of life, and must go forth and earn in a competitive and unrestricted environment.  Only then will the individual improve his game.  Only then will he be rewarded for doing better work.  It's called the Free Market.  I know I am preaching to the choir - but I just had to preach for a bit.

The men and women who built this country into the dominant power on Earth in just a century or two were aggressive, hardcore survivalists who worked hard and smart to ensure they had the necessities of life.  Men built railroads not because they were born with an undying desire to move products from A to B more efficiently.  They built railroads to earn money, to ensured they would have the necessities of life until they died - with some left over for their loved ones.

Just some food for thought.

Seven children KIDNAPPED by Arkansas police!

Yes, I said 'kidnapped,' and I meant it.  Because this:

However, at around 9:30 that evening, according to Stanley, "six or eight" fully-armed sheriffs opened the door and demanded the children be handed over for a 72-hour period. In an emotional protest, the Stanleys asked who was responsible for making this decision. It is reported that one of the sheriff's deputies raised his hand and said, "I did it and I'm proud of the decision."

It is reported that the children have been kept in custody already one week past the promised 72 hours. Mr. and Mrs. Stanley were not able to see their children until this last Saturday. Friends of the Stanleys have created a GoFundMe page and also have dedicated a Facebook page to help bring them home.

Emphasis mine.  This is no longer a 'hold.'  This is kidnapping, pure and simple.  But why?

He went on to describe his family as "preppers" who try and avoid most contact with the government and prefer keeping to themselves.

Ah, that's it.  God forbid you attempt to live your life as you wish, without the approval of FedGovCo.  Don't you dare try to be self-reliant and hard-working, or we'll take your children away from your evil influence, you...you...AMERICAN!


Every single person involved in this criminal action against the Stanleys should be prosecuted to the full extent of Constitutional law.  Or failing that, horsewhipped and strung up by their tender bits.  Either way, it pales compared to what awaits them after death if they don't get their heads on straight.


Almighty Father in Heaven, please be with the Stanleys in their time of trial, and may You open the hearts and minds of the servants of evil who have perpetrated this heinous act upon them.  In Jesus' Name, Amen.

Gun control?  We ain't with it.

Humans have the capacity for great evil, even in the absence of guns, something one can learn from peering in at places around the world that have been dealing with acts of terrorism on their own soil a lot longer than Americans have. The biggest threat our troops face in the ME right now, at least what is likely to cause them death and serous injuries, isn’t really guns, but rather explosive devices.

If you try to ban guns in America, what you really do is destroy the essence of who we are as a people, our ideals, our values. Whether symbolically or metaphorically, we have a powerful belief in our right to defend ourselves from all enemies, foreign and domestic. People actually swear allegiance to our Constitution based on this ideal. On our soil or not, domestic or foreign, people are willing to die for this principle. It’s not simply an issue or a problem to be legislated away, it’s the very essence of who we are, a cornerstone of our democracy, how we define ourselves as Americans.

One reason we have that peace and prosperity and statistical likelihood of dying from heart disease, is because of our powerful belief in our right to own guns and our obligation to defend ourselves. Quite simply if we hand that right to sort the bad guys from the good guys over to our government, we lose far more then our guns in this country. We lose everything we have fought so hard to try and build, values, ideals, freedom, the whole psyche of our nation. If we do that, our government becomes the good guys, the adults, and our people the potential bad guys, the children in need of constant supervision. This flips the power dynamic on it’s head and reverses the path.

Trigger warning:  Nobody cares.

F*ck your trauma.

Yes, f*ck your trauma. My sympathy for your suffering, whether that suffering was real or imaginary, ended when you demanded I change my life to avoid bringing up your bad memories. You don’t seem to have figured this out, but there is no “I must never be reminded of a negative experience” expectation in any culture anywhere on earth.

If your psyche is so fragile you fall apart when someone inadvertently reminds you of “trauma”, especially if that trauma consisted of you overreacting to a self-interpreted racial slur, you need therapy. You belong on a psychiatrist’s couch, not in college dictating what the rest of society can’t do, say or think. Get your own head right before you start trying to run other people’s lives. If you expect everyone around you to cater to your neurosis, forever, you’re what I’d call a “failure at life”. And you’re doomed to perpetual disappointment.

Christian testimony from...Alice Cooper??

"The world doesn't belong to us, the world belongs to Satan."

Just some stuff to think about.  Happy New Year.

Something all happy for a change

Not just another bunch of free stuff, but a chance to work.

“I became known as the crazy coat lady,” Scott said.


Scott said the coat was initially meant to offer comfort and pride for the homeless, but one homeless woman’s words changed that.


“She said, ‘Your coats don’t matter, jobs matter. We need jobs, not coats,’” Scott said. “It was then about who I could employ.”

God bless you, Veronika Scott.  A great idea and a way to let folks keep their dignity.
