Sorry, but I thought it childish, and detractive. As a society we have lost even the pretense to dignity. The country has turned into one big sandbox. Discourse has been reduced to the level of mud wresting, even so low as cockfighting.
Education has become a deadly form of child abuse. The universities have become nothing but recruiting centers and training grounds that foster perversion, degeneracy, belligerence, rebelliusness and disrespect while they work to increase technical proficiency.
Mystere brags to people that he is a "published author". What he's referring to is the Blogger "publish" button. Mystere specializes in the niche genre he calls "fart fanfic".
I pledge NO ALLEGIANCE to the stands of the Moonbats in Amerika, And to the injustices which they love, Our Nation, sent to hell, UNTHINKABLE, With libertards and intolerance gone wild.
Mystere, explain to me how liberals are 'intolerant?' You have been attacked on this very site for being of Asian decent and told to leave by rightards. Is that'tolerance?'
This One, Mystere faked comments (on his WordPress blog) to make it look like you were using racial slurs to attack him. I assume you never saw them, but there were quite a few "This One" comments on that blog (all fake, I'm guessing). WordPress came down on him for the fake comments (after I reported him) and suspended ALL his WordPress blogs (including a number I wasn't aware of at the time).
Dervish, you're still upset about someone supposedly hacking your Gravatar account? You recklessly accuse me of hacking your Gravatar account. I have no idea who hijacked it or if you faked a hijacking by giving any number of your buttboys short term access to your account to fake post something for you. I got notified by Yahoo about someone or a group of individuals hacking a number of Yahoo accounts. And why did I suddenly see my old blog enemy Irl Hudnutt suddenly appear on your hate blogs? Irl Hudnutt hacked my Google account years ago and attacked a friend of a friend of mine (Porky) by getting Google to wipe his account out. You'll get caught screwing around one day when you least expect it at your worst possible moment.
Yes, liar, I am "still" upset about your hacking of my Gravatar account. Why wouldn't I be? I don't know Irl Hudnutt. Sounded to me like a name you made up when you first mentioned him. He appears to be real, however. Unlike your imaginary friends Porky, donkey's revenge and rattrapper (your sockpuppets).
FYI, I have zero "buttboys" or "buttbois" (however you choose to spell it). I also do not wear L'eggs brand pantyhose (unlike you).
Mystere, as a fellow Christian I would advise you to pity poor fools, and please "fret not thyself, because of evildoers." Instead, please "rest in the Lord, wait patiently for Him, and He will give thee thy heart's desires. Commit thy ways unto Him and trust in Him."
Do your best to do that, and I fervently believe all will be well for you and those you love in the long run.
"Blessed are they who die in the Lord, for they shall have comfort ,,,"
FrancoThinke and Mystere are evildoers. There will be no comfort for them if they die in the service of Satan. The only hope for you is to repent. Unfortunately I don't see that happening.
I pledge Allegiance to the flag, Of the United States of AMERICA. And to the Republic for which it stands, ONE NATION UNDER GOD, Indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
You mght as well preach to a dead tree stump, mystery man. Minds as closed as that treasure their intractibility and impermiablility as though it were a horde of gold and preciius jewels.
Well Franco, at least I did what God asked me to do by setting the record straight. When Lester dies in his sins, he can't excuse himself and try to toss the stench back at me. The stench of his retort is now permanently on him because you and I did our jobs.
Rightards are actually stupid enough to believe they are the only Americans capable of patriotism and displays like this upsets liberals. Questioning the patriotism of those with opposing viewpoints, especially on the 4th of July is why the right are the true fascists in America today.
Sounds like Minus is eager for a Trump fascist dictatorship. I'd have guessed that a trumper would reject the fascist label, but Minus embraces it. It's bad NOT to be fascist!
Eager, no. But if the Left continues through 'Resistance' to demand a open return of the fasces, so be it. Trump will have plenty of lictors willing and able to unbundle the sticks and heft the axe when the time comes.
‘At the beginning’ of the law, there is a certain ‘outlaw,’ a certain Real of violence which coincides with the act itself of the establishment of the reign of law: the ultimate truth about the reign of law is that of a usurpation, and all classical politico-philosophical thought rests on the disavowal of this violent act of foundation . . . this illegitimate violence by which law sustains itself must be concealed at any price because this concealment is the positive condition of the functioning of law: it functions insofar as its subjects are deceived, insofar as they experience the authority of law as authentic and eternal.
In actual practice Fascism and Commnism are identical twins. Mediaeval Catholicism would be an dentical triplet if it still exixted today.. There is no appreciable differenceaming these things, because all hate freedom, all are based on a negative view of life, allare inherently tyrannical and none are the least bit hesitant to use deadly force to ensure and protect their power.
I think we should all be embarrassed by racist scum like the Radical Redneck. trumpers are not, of course. They are all racist or at least willing to ignore the racism of the bigot-in-chief. These are dark times for our country. That democracy may not survive isn't something to be "happy" about at all. At least not for real patriots.
tRump, Radical Redneck, as well as other folks of their demented twisted mentality do not care if democracy doesn't survive Dervish. They are most definitely not real Americans or patriots.
My goodness, the lefties are such sore losers. Rather then just accept the fact that their policies are being soundly rejected and adjust them they stupidly race farther left and were even ignorant enough to jump for joy when they elect a 29 year old communist in a NY primary.
Talk about ignorance! No communist ran, therefore it would not be possible for a communist to win. Are you going to be saying it's time to adjust when Trump is soundly rejected, Klansman?
As I said ...... to Rusty ...... leftists have no common sense, and no wisdom. I should add no ability to understand parallels, the meaning of inferences and implications, and no appreciation of figurative language.
They seem to rely solely on a wholly negative, permanently combative. hostile stance against the world, on mockery, sarcasm, denial, and a dogged, dull, listeralistic interpretation of every word printed or said aloud in public.
Leftists have little or no understanding of subtlety, little or no appreciation of wit, no apparent abiity to see humor in the human condition. Not only that they seem in.capable of empathy.
This mantra-like insistence in which most of them indulge that insists sociaism is not an offshoot of basic communist tenets betrays one of three things ...... deceitfulness, disingenuousness or complete idiocy.
Abundant examples proving this analysis appear right here on this page.
Mystere got high on shrooms and he and his buttbois took turns extracting each other's white gravy as they drooled over pictures of Donald Trump nude (statues).
Oh, and I forgot to add that leftists have a weird determination to mislabel and misidentify whatever and whomever they don't like probably for the following reasons in no particular order:
1. To distract others from the point at hand, and thus derail honest, pertinent conversation.
2. To spread confusion which has always been their stock-in-trade
3. To try to make themselves appear more intelligent and more perceptive than they really are
4. To provoke as much unpleasantness and cynicism as possible thus damaging any chances for amicability
5. Primarily to ATTRACT ATTENTION to THEMSELVES.
Though they'd be the last to admit it, leftists don't want anyone to discuss issues and philsophical points of contention soberly and intelligently. Their main aim is to pollute and muddy the waters which, of course, diverts attention away from honest, potentially constructive discourse.
Again I have to say this blog, because of its extreme permissiveness, is a great venue for letting leftists expose themselves publicly without shame for exactly what they are.
What that is I must leave to you to explain, because I don't believe in using expletives.
Dropped his "i'm an old man who is almost blind" sthick too. Which I didn't believe. I know someone with age related macular degeneration, and they don't read, use email or the computer any longer. Yet the "almost blind" FT blogs and comments actively.
He is someone's sockpuppet and FT is a good guess. Same BS about the Left being guilty of everything trumpers are guilty of. One thing is certain, and that is that Franco isn't your sockpuppet. The tired bullplop he spews doesn't match the juvenile anus-obsessed idiocy you and your sockpuppets (donkey's revenge and rattrapper) are infamous for. At all.
You just proved you are FreeThinke without a doubt. To me, at least. FreeThinke had a habit of deleting comments I replied to, then posting them again.
Maybe he, like me, didn't appreciate having sticky, bad smelling filth attach itself to his remarks. Since you are obviously opaque, intensely bigotted, and morally blind, you never thought of that, did you?
Well, the gnats, the mosquitoes, and the fire ants have descended on the picnic, so there's nothing to do but pack up and go home.
Trying to function as an adult in a children's sand box is bad enough, but when the sandbox gets used as litterbox, it's definitely time to get out, and disinfect oneself asap.
Franco don't be discouraged, there are many here who appreciate your sagacious and measured input. We aren't as loud as the filth but there are many more of us.
With few exceptions Lisa allows these losers to show their asses here. Countless times a day. I think it's overall a good thing but if it were my call, I'd be much less permissive.
The only place I would differ is I would delete everything This One excretes unceremoniously like every other blog out there does. Xe adds nothing but vile nasty mindless filth. Xe has ZERO redeeming qualities. Not even unintentional humour or even a worthwhile bad example.
Thank you very kindly, RR. I think you must know that it's very hard to swim across a body of water filled with sharp rocks, snags. alligators, piranhas, water mocassins and whirlpools that constantly interrupt your progress and sap your strength as they suck you down beneath the surface, and force you to fight your way back up to where you can breathe again.. It's even harder when the water gets filled more and more with raw sewage, and the dead bodies of friends and allies.
But one has to keep trying to swim in spite of all that, if one hopes to get to the Other Side.
And what is that Other Side? Some might call it The Promised Land. Some might think of it as Home. Some mi[ight see it as Victory in a particular battle. Others might think of it as Heaven.
Whatever it could be, we have no choice but to keep swimming, even if we die in the attempt to reach the Other Side.
Whether we succeed or not doesn't matter. Our Reward and Redemption come from simply having tried as hard as we could to do our best as long as we remain alive in this world.
I have heard through thle grapevine that Lisa's husband is seriously ill. I am very sorry to learn that, but hope he will recover fully very soon, and get back to living happily and productively. For whatever it may be worth Lisa and her husband are now on my prayer list.
May the Lord bless you and keep you. May He make His face to shine upon you, and be gracious unto you and give you peace.
And for the record I wish the same for everyone, even the rudest, most fractious, cynical, and incorrigible among us.
"Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."
"Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake."
She certainly gives a lot of credence to the Throwback Theory, doesn't she?
One spectacularly ugly, cheap ululating noisemaker like that could easily set the progress of Race Relations back a couple of hundred years. at least
That stupid woman has done more to promote the cause of bigotry and intolerance than anyone since the days of Bull Connor, Huey Long, and Byron de la Beckwith.
The worst thing about it is that It's so unfair to the growing number of Negroes like Dr. Carson and Condoleezza Rice and others less well known who've done a magnificent job of realizing their great human potential through honest hard work and great forebearance.
Negroes? You are with NO DOUBT a FreeThinke account. Deny it all you want, racist. Some here may continue to play along, but everyone knows it's you. Perhaps not Mystere, but he is an idiot.
Don't let [Donald Trump] deceive you with meaningless words (Ephesians 5:6).
But evil people and impostors [like Donald Trump] will go from bad to worse as they deceive others and are themselves deceived (2 Timothy 3:13-14).
He said, "Be careful that you are not deceived, because many will come in my name and say, 'I AM' and, 'The time has come'. Don't follow [Donald Trump]" (Luke 21:8).
For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect[ed US predisent, Donald Trump] (Matthew 24:24).
Go in peace, brother. No one wants to harm you. Our hope is to save you from your sadly misguided proclivities, but no one can be forced to accept salvation. Hard words and the threat of dire punishment, even death, certainly will not do it. So by all means go your own way. All i wuld ask/ us that you keep your eyes and ears open at all times, and be receptive to the possibility of new and agreeable chances.
Truth always wins in the end, and at that time one of us will be proven right. Ot maybe bith of us will be proven wrong. Omly ttme will tell.
Meanwhile. all I can do is wait, watch, pray, and hope for the best.
You wish to harm me greatly. This is why you support Donald Trump, tool of Satan. Trump voters and supporters have unleashed a great evil upon the world.
I'm usually late to the party when it comes to what's "hip" at the moment but the other night I stumbled across something very entertaining. If you have Netflix check out Santa Clarita Diet. It's one of the funniest and well written shows on the tube. Hell, the other night I stayed up till 3:00 a.m. and polished off two bottles of Oregon Pinot Noir watching the show
Oh my! Already a counterfeit of me, and I've only been around for two or three days.
As I said before, and will probably repeat many times again, since the situation with the gaggle of goons is not apt to change, when a supposedly adult blog gets used first as childrens' sandbox, and soon thereafter as a letterbox, it's time to shake off the filth, wash up and head for home.
So for the 4,000,000th straight time YOU'VE GOT NOTHING.
You make it too easy: my 7 year old can argue circles around you. And unlike you: he's outgrown the mindless "I know you are but what am I?" answer to EVERYTHING
It's not that I don't understand the concept of faith Klansman Shakelford. I simply do not need a belief (faith) in the super natural to explain existence or life's purpose.
Please concentrate your best thoughts on the safe deliverance of the eight boys and their leader still trapped in that flooded cave in Thailand after seventeen days. Prayers for the efficacy and safe conduct of the brave men who are doing their best to rescue them are needed every bit as much.
"... If a piece of the contenent washes away, Europe is the less ... Ask not for whom the bell tolls. It tolls for thee.:
A CAUSE for REJOICING. EIght boys now rescued. Four more and their coach remain trapped in flooded Thai cave.
4 more boys emerge from flooded Thailand cave; coach, 4 others still await rescue
USA Today, by Thomas Maresca and John Bacon
MAE SAI, Thailand — Four more boys trapped for more than two weeks in a partially flooded cave here were brought out Monday, raising to eight the number of youths rescued but still leaving four young soccer players and their coach awaiting freedom. An aide to the Thai Navy SEALs commander confirmed that four boys were brought out Monday. Authorities said the four brought out Sunday were in good condition. (Snip) The rescue was put on hold Sunday night to allow rescuers to restock the cave with oxygen tanks. The effort cranked up again Monday morning local time ...
No, I do not think RN is frightened by faith. He is frightened (as am I) by people who believe they are followers of Jesus, but who actually serve Satan. I refer to racists like Klansman Shackelford. These are fake Christians who want to impose their morality on everyone. They have no tolerance or compassion for their fellow man, only hate.
Quite to the contrary Klansman Shackelford. I was frightened BEFORE I finally shed the shackles of faith and mysticism years ago. I cannot tell for sure of course, but, odds are it is you Klansman that is fearful and lacks understanding.
I have never tried Mystere Brand® "Crunchy Flea and Tick Snacks". I predict you will lose your shirt if you invest. Only Mystere and his buttbois think ticks and fleas make for a tasty snack.
There's no such thing as Mystere Brand® Crunchy Flea and Tick Snacks. Now there's a black market Michael Perquin's Crunchy Tapeworm Flea and Ticks Snack for mutts made by Dervish Sanders Industries in Paris Tennessee. It carries a wild claim "Enhances liberal brain powers" on the package.
The Washington Post today reported Ruth Nader Ginsberg has developed a cold. Upon hearing this news Nancy Pelosi suffered a bad case of the vapors and Chuck Schumer broke down in uncontrollable tears.
We have bubbly on ice awaiting our most excellent President Trumps SCOTUS nomination tonight. Watching leftwingnut heads explode this evening will be great fun.
When you pop the cork, be sure to aim it at that weasel Nursie Poo Poo's vertical smile. When the cork plugs his piehole, it'll keep his flatulence from stinking the place up.
Funny Klansman Shackelford, you make that statement frequently. I have yet to see anyone's head explode. We're sure you fervently wish to see someone's head on the left explode however. Perhaps if you have faith and pray hard enough to your tRumpian god it will happen eh?
Now,now Leslie, you run from blog to blog predicting civil war,end to personal liberties,riots in the streets and the total end of freedoms. Your silliness knows no bounds.stop being Debby downer
RN is correct about loss of freedoms. I don't recall him predicting civil war. I surely would not rule it out, however. I think we will see mass civil disobedience first, however. Millions of people taking to the streets, worker strikes... that kind of thing. I doubt the majority will accept minority rule and do nothing.
The Democrats need to resit ANY nominee that the Orange Turd puts forth. Remember that some Republicans said (prior to the election) they would seek to deny Hillary Clinton a pick and hold open the vacancy for the entire 4 years of her term?
Trump should certainly not be allowed to chose another justice while under investigation. Whether or not a sitting predisent can pardon himself (and other questions concerning Trump and his collusion with Russia) may come before the court in the near future. Trump is trying to rig the outcome by picking his own jurors. To this I say NO!!
A Conservative SCOTUS will get busy rolling back rights for many Americans. Excepting, perhaps, rich White men. The Klansman sees himself as belonging to this privileged group, so he thinks he is safe. Those who lose rights will be all those he hates. Poor people, women, workers, and minorities.
The oligarchic theocracy that evil pseudo Christians like the Klansman long for is close to becoming a reality. The destruction of America as we know it began with the "election" of Trump. Anyone cheering this is an enemy of America, as Trump is.
Leslie, you and your simpleton partner Dervish run around like Chicken Little yelling the sky is falling.
Just what personal liberties or freedoms have either of you lost since Trump was elected? Other then spiking your ED how has Trumps presidency caused you great personal pain?
Frankly Klansman Shackelford I am more concerned with the almost certainty that a super conservative court will overturn the reproductive rights of women, marriage legality, strengthen the power of the growing theocratic oligarchy, limit the civil rights of minorities through states rights rulings, and more.
The evidence that this is tRump's and the republican/conservative/evangelical agenda is plain to see. But when you support such power vested in the government you cheer such obscenities.
To repeat what I have said many times bey. The Progressives of America like Shaw, along with the Democrats, Libertarians Rinos, and other Crackpots like RN would rather see America crumble than see Trump succeed, as always
To repeat what i have said msny times before. The Progressives of America like Shaw, along with the Democrats, Libertarians Rinos, and other Crackpots like RN would rather see America crumble than see Trump succeed, as always

Stay tuned for another instalment of mythology… aka the Abrahamic God
Sorry Leslie but its pretty clear and is widely discussed on conservative blogs how you've been acting like FTs jilted lover since broke your heart and banned you from his blog
Day is done. Gone the sun ... From the lakes From the hills From the skies. All is well Safely rest God is nigh!
Pray for the boys still still trapped in that cave in Thailand and for their coach.
Pray too that all goes well with President Trump's choice for the Supreme Court, and that his own foolish, sadly fractured, dissolute party does not fail to support the president's decision.
"And fret not self because of evildoers. O rest in the Lord wait patiently for Him."
In truth and plan English here is what "Franco" means... Pray too that tRump is successful in his attempt to strip human rights from all who do not believe as conservatives, evangelical extremists, and Franco (aka FreeThinke) do.
Looks like the leftwingnutz have gone completely off the rails. Having some free time today I've watched a bit of cable news in anticipation of Trumps announcement tonight. If one had just awakened from a 20 year sleep and listened to the leftwingnutz on CNN and MSNBC today you'd have thought a comet was about to strike earth and kill all lifeforms....they are amazing
Yes, Rusty. Leftists have always been bomb throwers, anarchists and insurrectionists at heart. Being inherently crafty and devious by nature, however, they've now changed their style. They wear suits and ties, speak reasonably good English, and make a fairly credible attempt to appear civilized. They still stage riots in the ,streets, but their leaders now strive to appear far above all that while they support it behind the scenes.
The traitorous barbarians among us now bathe regularly, shave and get haircuts as they appear in today's equivalent of a Brooks Brothers suit. In this regard they are a lot like the pigs who stood upright in Orwell's Animal Farm ... or the wolves in sheep's clothing of biblcal fame.
You were misinformed. RBG only sneezed once in the middle of one of her frequent "bench naps". It startled her more than anyone else. Old ladies from her stock tend to be amazingly tough. Many live well into their nineties and even into their hundreds. I'm sure she'll be around for a long long time. Sad, I know.
Probably true. Either that or she would have tried to get Obama on the high bench or even her wayward, now pathetic and incfreasingly decrepit husband.
Conservatives and leftists alike should humbly offer up a prayer of thanksgiving that President Trump succeeded in defying all the odds, and beat the corrupt, hypocritical, self-serving candidate anointed in back rooms long ago by the ever-scheming Machiavellian Left.
President Trump made an Excellent choice, Judge Kavanaugh is a strong willed constitutionalist. Judge Kavanaugh who will honor and uphold the Constitution rather than trying to rewrite it. who will uphold our constitution Judge Brett Kavanaugh will be an excellent Supreme Court justice! I could not be more pleased. There is no question what so ever that he is very qualified and deserving of our nation's highest court. No wonder the Proggies are Shitting in their pants. This is why so many patriotic Americans voted for President Trump! And don't worry liberals, no one is coming after your abortions. We just want "common sense" abortion control, such as stricter laws on Late Term Abortions, and No public funding for them.
And as for the Liberal Moon Bats, they will be the same no mater what, and no matter who the President picked. In fact I heard that they were all ready to protest, and dragging out their “Pussy hats’ even before they knew who the nominee was going to be.
Until the telescope, our vision of the sky remained scant. Progress since has been remarkable, as your photos show. But those infant optics were a bit troublesome-
I trace my words into the sand words at one time that were banned earth circle sun, by math explain recant or die in burning pain
the heavens revealed, my telescope disagreed with priest and Pope The sun doth circle earth, they said your sorry science we shall shred
For we the Church Triumphant stand Inquisitors with burning brand Do not use your curious mind For we insist that you stay blind
Only we proclaim the truth less we fear the curious sleuth our pious knowledge we proclaim enforced by dungeon and the flame
Recant your words and follow us or face the Stake that burnt Jan Hus for we despise your faith in science our faith in faith is our reliance
three hundred sixty years have past my words in sand now concrete cast earth has circled all along for I was right and they were wrong
- for Galileo
Kid said in response :
BB, Great example of why I laugh every time some 'scientist' proclaims he has 'the answer' to anything. They've been wrong for thousands of years but still believe they can be finally right.
I, Franco Aragosta, responded to both:
Very clever rhyme! It contains much that is true, but it is not the Ultimate Truth.
Entrenched Power of ANY kind always becomes self-serving and self-protective. Roman Barbarians had the power in the pre-Christian era. "The Church" had the power in the Middle Ages, "Science" has it now.
The thing we need to fear most is ORTHODOXY of ANY kind.
The arrogance and self-righteeusness that come with any sort of cocksure attitude is the Achilles Heel of any form of dogmatic or doctriinal cant and rhetoric.
Life is fluid, evanescent, ever-changing, unpredictable and never competely knowable. Life by its very nature is not stable, so the attempts some have made to trap and solidify it have always been doomed to failure.
Even so, the Spirit who created and guides all is "unresting, unhasting, and silent as light, nor wanting nor wasting yet out of our sight. We blossom and flourish like leaves on a tree then withereth and fadeth, but naught changeth Thee."
True faith, which is always questing, is not at odds with Science just as true Science, which is also always questing, is not at odds with faith. Both Science and Faith search for the same thng –– TRUTH –– they only approach it frim different angles.
That means that t be real neither Faith nor Science can afford to be tendentious in their rhetoric or agenda-driven in their aims.
We pray today for the well-being of Judge Brett Kavanaugh who just yesterday was nominated by President Trump to fill the vacancy on the Supreme Court left by Justice Anthony Kennedy.
We pray that he and his family will withstand with aplomb the incessant barrage of lies, snide, politically-motivated insults, barbed criticisms, vilification, and calumny to which he is sure to be subjected.
We pray too that his nomination will be approved in the senate, and that he will be seated on the high court before the November election.
Most of all we pray that Judge Kavanaugh, if he survives the barrage of dirty tricks and Kangaroo Court-like proceedings to which he is sure to be subjected by the pharisiaical, power mad hypocrites determined to badger and beleaguer him, that, unlike too many Republican appointees to the bench in the past, Judge Kavnaugh will prove to be the staunch, highly principled, reliably conservative presence on the court President Trump believes he will be.
WONDERFUL NEWS! It's Time to REJOICE, GIVE THANKS and SING! HALLELUJAH!
Thailand Cave Rescue: All 12 Boys and Coach Successfully Rescued
The Guardian (live)
by Matthew Weaver and Helen Davidson
Michael Safi The last three navy seals and the medic, who were with the boys for the last few days, are still in the cave. It is unclear when they will emerge, but they are said to be on their way out. The weakest boys were the last to be taken out, sources have said. They are understood to include the youngest in the group – 11-year-old Chanin Wiboonrungrueng. The city of Chiang Rai is starting to party as drivers honk their horns, according to Reuters. “This is an important event in my life. It is something I will remember,” ...
I do not believe for one second (or for much more than 1 second, at least) that you care AT ALL about these boys. They aren't White and they aren't Christian. Why would you, as a self described "decent, God-fearing, natural-born Caucasian-American" care about non-White foreigners?
Why the Orange Turd selected the scotus justice he did...
Kavanaugh: "...I believe that the President should be excused from some of the burdens of ordinary citizenship while serving in office [because] the indictment and trial of a sitting President... would cripple the federal government, rendering it unable to function...".
AKA the Orange Turd is above the law. This only applies to Republican presidents, however. The hypocrite was all for impeaching WJC.
They sound pretty good...
ReplyDeleteThey do, but why do you think they laughed at themselves?
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
DeleteLaughter did not seem very appropriate to me given the text.
DeleteI found it a sort of self-congratulatory laughter.... akin to "we did good!"
DeleteSorry, but I thought it childish, and detractive. As a society we have lost even the pretense to dignity. The country has turned into one big sandbox. Discourse has been reduced to the level of mud wresting, even so low as cockfighting.
DeleteEducation has become a deadly form of child abuse. The universities have become nothing but recruiting centers and training grounds that foster perversion, degeneracy, belligerence, rebelliusness and disrespect while they work to increase technical proficiency.
You forgot to mention Cultural Marxism, FreeThinke.
DeleteHave you laughed at a liberal today?
ReplyDeleteNo, but I laughed at a trumper. Just now.
DeleteExcellent morniing! I went to a big military cemetary and replaced all the fascist AmeriKKKan flags with the glorious enlightened hammer n' sickle!
DeleteLMAO!
Goons like this are no laughing matter, mystery man. Npthing the least bit amusing about their kind.
DeleteNo but I've laughed at L'il Fart Boy.
DeleteThat's good. The ability to laugh at oneself is a great virtue.
Delete"Uncle RN" has returned!
DeleteWhat's next? Maybe Mystere will comment with his "Fartbreath Mystere" account?
DeleteWhat's next? Maybe Dervish will pass gas "))<~~~" through his pantyhose puppet account?
DeleteMystere brags to people that he is a "published author". What he's referring to is the Blogger "publish" button. Mystere specializes in the niche genre he calls "fart fanfic".
DeleteI pledge NO ALLEGIANCE to the stands of the Moonbats in Amerika,
ReplyDeleteAnd to the injustices which they love,
Our Nation, sent to hell,
UNTHINKABLE,
With libertards and intolerance gone wild.
Well, your words and actions prove quite the opposite. But that's okay cause this is, after all, the USA (America).
DeleteFor now anyway. But, that may just change under tRump in the near future.
Mystere, explain to me how liberals are 'intolerant?' You have been attacked on this very site for being of Asian decent and told to leave by rightards. Is that'tolerance?'
DeleteThis One, Mystere faked comments (on his WordPress blog) to make it look like you were using racial slurs to attack him. I assume you never saw them, but there were quite a few "This One" comments on that blog (all fake, I'm guessing). WordPress came down on him for the fake comments (after I reported him) and suspended ALL his WordPress blogs (including a number I wasn't aware of at the time).
DeleteDervish, you're still upset about someone supposedly hacking your Gravatar account? You recklessly accuse me of hacking your Gravatar account. I have no idea who hijacked it or if you faked a hijacking by giving any number of your buttboys short term access to your account to fake post something for you. I got notified by Yahoo about someone or a group of individuals hacking a number of Yahoo accounts. And why did I suddenly see my old blog enemy Irl Hudnutt suddenly appear on your hate blogs? Irl Hudnutt hacked my Google account years ago and attacked a friend of a friend of mine (Porky) by getting Google to wipe his account out. You'll get caught screwing around one day when you least expect it at your worst possible moment.
DeleteYes, liar, I am "still" upset about your hacking of my Gravatar account. Why wouldn't I be? I don't know Irl Hudnutt. Sounded to me like a name you made up when you first mentioned him. He appears to be real, however. Unlike your imaginary friends Porky, donkey's revenge and rattrapper (your sockpuppets).
DeleteFYI, I have zero "buttboys" or "buttbois" (however you choose to spell it). I also do not wear L'eggs brand pantyhose (unlike you).
Mystere, as a fellow Christian I would advise you to pity poor fools, and please "fret not thyself, because of evildoers." Instead, please "rest in the Lord, wait patiently for Him, and He will give thee thy heart's desires. Commit thy ways unto Him and trust in Him."
DeleteDo your best to do that, and I fervently believe all will be well for you and those you love in the long run.
"Blessed are they who die in the Lord, for they shall have comfort ,,,"
FrancoThinke and Mystere are evildoers. There will be no comfort for them if they die in the service of Satan. The only hope for you is to repent. Unfortunately I don't see that happening.
DeleteI pledge Allegiance to the flag,
ReplyDeleteOf the United States of AMERICA.
And to the Republic for which it stands,
ONE NATION UNDER GOD,
Indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
Just to be clear, exactly WHICH god, created in the likeness of man would that be?
DeleteMan was created in the likeness of God, not god in the likeness of man, Lester Carpenter Jr.
DeleteYou mght as well preach to a dead tree stump, mystery man. Minds as closed as that treasure their intractibility and impermiablility as though it were a horde of gold and preciius jewels.
DeleteWell Franco, at least I did what God asked me to do by setting the record straight. When Lester dies in his sins, he can't excuse himself and try to toss the stench back at me. The stench of his retort is now permanently on him because you and I did our jobs.
DeleteGod asked you, eh? Lol! frikkin' child.

DeleteTrump is evil. As a trumper spreading the word about a false prophet you are doing the work of Satan.
DeleteI'm doing the work of Satan? What whopper are you going to tell God to His face when he asks you why you should be allowed to enter heaven?
DeleteObviously the whopper Mystere is going to tell is that he was ignorant concerning the evilness of Trump. That isn't going to fly, Mystere.
DeleteMystere our Holy Bible never fails to give good advice. Try always to remember and take courage this:
Delete"Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful ..."
Capiche?
... God nis not mocked, for whatsoever a man soweth that also shall he reap ....
DeleteYes, whatever a man (or woman) soweth they shall reap. However, an imaginary god has nothing to do with it.
DeleteRightards are actually stupid enough to believe they are the only Americans capable of patriotism and displays like this upsets liberals. Questioning the patriotism of those with opposing viewpoints, especially on the 4th of July is why the right are the true fascists in America today.
ReplyDeleteA very sage comment. I agree 100%.
DeleteAs do I.
DeleteFear of fascism (authority) scores right up there with lack of "loyalty" in the Left's lack of moral indicators needed for the preservation of civilized society.
DeleteSounds like Minus is eager for a Trump fascist dictatorship. I'd have guessed that a trumper would reject the fascist label, but Minus embraces it. It's bad NOT to be fascist!
DeleteEager, no. But if the Left continues through 'Resistance' to demand a open return of the fasces, so be it. Trump will have plenty of lictors willing and able to unbundle the sticks and heft the axe when the time comes.
Delete‘At the beginning’ of the law, there is a certain ‘outlaw,’ a certain Real of violence which coincides with the act itself of the establishment of the reign of law: the ultimate truth about the reign of law is that of a usurpation, and all classical politico-philosophical thought rests on the disavowal of this violent act of foundation . . . this illegitimate violence by which law sustains itself must be concealed at any price because this concealment is the positive condition of the functioning of law: it functions insofar as its subjects are deceived, insofar as they experience the authority of law as authentic and eternal.
-Slavoj Zizek, "For They Know Not What They Do"
Oh, look, there they are!
DeleteIt must be time again to undeceive you as to their meaning. When was the last time? The 1860's?
DeleteIn actual practice Fascism and Commnism are identical twins. Mediaeval Catholicism would be an dentical triplet if it still exixted today.. There is no appreciable differenceaming these things, because all hate freedom, all are based on a negative view of life, allare inherently tyrannical and none are the least bit hesitant to use deadly force to ensure and protect their power.
DeleteDisplays of raw power without a "veneer" of democracy, justice, or civility. You're right!
DeleteI've seen for a very long time, sir, that "results are all that count."
DeleteKnowing that is probably the greatest shortcut we might have to knowing how to separate truth from nonsense.
… results are all that count.
DeleteIn ether words the ends justify the means. Authoritarianism at it finest eh?
Certainly tRump's motto.
I am very proud and happy to be an American. Especially more now that we have a First Lady who walks on her hind legs.
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
DeleteI think we should all be embarrassed by racist scum like the Radical Redneck. trumpers are not, of course. They are all racist or at least willing to ignore the racism of the bigot-in-chief. These are dark times for our country. That democracy may not survive isn't something to be "happy" about at all. At least not for real patriots.
DeletetRump, Radical Redneck, as well as other folks of their demented twisted mentality do not care if democracy doesn't survive Dervish. They are most definitely not real Americans or patriots.
DeleteYou're no American, fool.
DeleteOh shucks! Yesterday I thought this place had some good possibilities, but today the vandals have taken over.
ReplyDeleteWhat a pity!
My goodness, the lefties are such sore losers. Rather then just accept the fact that their policies are being soundly rejected and adjust them they stupidly race farther left and were even ignorant enough to jump for joy when they elect a 29 year old communist in a NY primary.
ReplyDeleteSo many of them have high IQ's, but no commin sense and no wisdom at all. Weird. isn't it? A depressing bunch.
DeleteTalk about ignorance! No communist ran, therefore it would not be possible for a communist to win. Are you going to be saying it's time to adjust when Trump is soundly rejected, Klansman?
DeleteAs I said ...... to Rusty ...... leftists have no common sense, and no wisdom. I should add no ability to understand parallels, the meaning of inferences and implications, and no appreciation of figurative language.
DeleteThey seem to rely solely on a wholly negative, permanently combative. hostile stance against the world, on mockery, sarcasm, denial, and a dogged, dull, listeralistic interpretation of every word printed or said aloud in public.
Leftists have little or no understanding of subtlety, little or no appreciation of wit, no apparent abiity to see humor in the human condition. Not only that they seem in.capable of empathy.
This mantra-like insistence in which most of them indulge that insists sociaism is not an offshoot of basic communist tenets betrays one of three things ...... deceitfulness, disingenuousness or complete idiocy.
Abundant examples proving this analysis appear right here on this page.
FreeThinke(LMAO)™ is a yenta.
DeleteQuackobyrd got tarred and feathered last night.
DeleteMystere got high on shrooms and he and his buttbois took turns extracting each other's white gravy as they drooled over pictures of Donald Trump nude (statues).
DeleteApparently FreeThinke is softening his language since his very recent makeover and new moniker. But his shtick remains the same.
ReplyDeleteOh, and I forgot to add that leftists have a weird determination to mislabel and misidentify whatever and whomever they don't like probably for the following reasons in no particular order:
Delete1. To distract others from the point at hand, and thus derail honest, pertinent conversation.
2. To spread confusion which has always been their stock-in-trade
3. To try to make themselves appear more intelligent and more perceptive than they really are
4. To provoke as much unpleasantness and cynicism as possible thus damaging any chances for amicability
5. Primarily to ATTRACT ATTENTION to THEMSELVES.
Though they'd be the last to admit it, leftists don't want anyone to discuss issues and philsophical points of contention soberly and intelligently. Their main aim is to pollute and muddy the waters which, of course, diverts attention away from honest, potentially constructive discourse.
Again I have to say this blog, because of its extreme permissiveness, is a great venue for letting leftists expose themselves publicly without shame for exactly what they are.
What that is I must leave to you to explain, because I don't believe in using expletives.
Dropped his "i'm an old man who is almost blind" sthick too. Which I didn't believe. I know someone with age related macular degeneration, and they don't read, use email or the computer any longer. Yet the "almost blind" FT blogs and comments actively.
DeleteFranco Aragosta isn't FreeThinke.
DeleteHe is someone's sockpuppet and FT is a good guess. Same BS about the Left being guilty of everything trumpers are guilty of. One thing is certain, and that is that Franco isn't your sockpuppet. The tired bullplop he spews doesn't match the juvenile anus-obsessed idiocy you and your sockpuppets (donkey's revenge and rattrapper) are infamous for. At all.
DeleteHard to mimic Freestinkers diction with such precision.
DeleteIt would be interesting to know why FreeStink dropped his BS persona.
DeleteCome on Franco, your loyal fans need to know.

DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteYou just proved you are FreeThinke without a doubt. To me, at least. FreeThinke had a habit of deleting comments I replied to, then posting them again.
DeleteFunny, FreeThinke always said that before his makeover.
DeleteMaybe he, like me, didn't appreciate having sticky, bad smelling filth attach itself to his remarks. Since you are obviously opaque, intensely bigotted, and morally blind, you never thought of that, did you?
DeleteWell, the gnats, the mosquitoes, and the fire ants have descended on the picnic, so there's nothing to do but pack up and go home.
ReplyDeleteTrying to function as an adult in a children's sand box is bad enough, but when the sandbox gets used as litterbox, it's definitely time to get out, and disinfect oneself asap.
Franco don't be discouraged, there are many here who appreciate your sagacious and measured input. We aren't as loud as the filth but there are many more of us.
DeleteWith few exceptions Lisa allows these losers to show their asses here. Countless times a day. I think it's overall a good thing but if it were my call, I'd be much less permissive.
The only place I would differ is I would delete everything This One excretes unceremoniously like every other blog out there does. Xe adds nothing but vile nasty mindless filth. Xe has ZERO redeeming qualities. Not even unintentional humour or even a worthwhile bad example.
Hope to see more of you here.
Thank you very kindly, RR. I think you must know that it's very hard to swim across a body of water filled with sharp rocks, snags. alligators, piranhas, water mocassins and whirlpools that constantly interrupt your progress and sap your strength as they suck you down beneath the surface, and force you to fight your way back up to where you can breathe again.. It's even harder when the water gets filled more and more with raw sewage, and the dead bodies of friends and allies.
DeleteBut one has to keep trying to swim in spite of all that, if one hopes to get to the Other Side.
And what is that Other Side? Some might call it The Promised Land. Some might think of it as Home. Some mi[ight see it as Victory in a particular battle. Others might think of it as Heaven.
Whatever it could be, we have no choice but to keep swimming, even if we die in the attempt to reach the Other Side.
Whether we succeed or not doesn't matter. Our Reward and Redemption come from simply having tried as hard as we could to do our best as long as we remain alive in this world.
I have heard through thle grapevine that Lisa's husband is seriously ill. I am very sorry to learn that, but hope he will recover fully very soon, and get back to living happily and productively. For whatever it may be worth Lisa and her husband are now on my prayer list.
ReplyDeleteMay the Lord bless you and keep you. May He make His face to shine upon you, and be gracious unto you and give you peace.
And for the record I wish the same for everyone, even the rudest, most fractious, cynical, and incorrigible among us.
"Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."
"Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake."
Kunta! Kunta Kinte!
ReplyDeleteShe certainly gives a lot of credence to the Throwback Theory, doesn't she?
DeleteOne spectacularly ugly, cheap ululating noisemaker like that could easily set the progress of Race Relations back a couple of hundred years. at least
That stupid woman has done more to promote the cause of bigotry and intolerance than anyone since the days of Bull Connor, Huey Long, and Byron de la Beckwith.
The worst thing about it is that It's so unfair to the growing number of Negroes like Dr. Carson and Condoleezza Rice and others less well known who've done a magnificent job of realizing their great human potential through honest hard work and great forebearance.
Negroes? You are with NO DOUBT a FreeThinke account. Deny it all you want, racist. Some here may continue to play along, but everyone knows it's you. Perhaps not Mystere, but he is an idiot.
Delete"Thou shalt not bear false witness agaunst thy neighbor ...".
Delete.. Exodus 20: 16 (KJV)
Don't let [Donald Trump] deceive you with meaningless words (Ephesians 5:6).
DeleteBut evil people and impostors [like Donald Trump] will go from bad to worse as they deceive others and are themselves deceived (2 Timothy 3:13-14).
He said, "Be careful that you are not deceived, because many will come in my name and say, 'I AM' and, 'The time has come'. Don't follow [Donald Trump]" (Luke 21:8).
For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect[ed US predisent, Donald Trump] (Matthew 24:24).
"A soft answer turneth away wrath."
DeleteGo in peace, brother. No one wants to harm you. Our hope is to save you from your sadly misguided proclivities, but no one can be forced to accept salvation. Hard words and the threat of dire punishment, even death, certainly will not do it. So by all means go your own way. All i wuld ask/ us that you keep your eyes and ears open at all times, and be receptive to the possibility of new and agreeable chances.
Truth always wins in the end, and at that time one of us will be
proven right. Ot maybe bith of us will be proven wrong. Omly ttme will tell.
Meanwhile. all I can do is wait, watch, pray, and hope for the best.
You wish to harm me greatly. This is why you support Donald Trump, tool of Satan. Trump voters and supporters have unleashed a great evil upon the world.
DeleteMUH MUH MY! MUH MUH MY! The 'shrooms have kicked in, making Dervy boy paranoid and extremely delusional.
DeleteSomething Different
ReplyDeleteI'm usually late to the party when it comes to what's "hip" at the moment but the other night I stumbled across something very entertaining.
If you have Netflix check out Santa Clarita Diet. It's one of the funniest and well written shows on the tube. Hell, the other night I stayed up till 3:00 a.m. and polished off two bottles of Oregon Pinot Noir watching the show
Here RN, you little prick, if you was to mess up Lisa’s blog then you can expect the same thing to happen to your SHIT HOLE.
ReplyDeleteTalk about being out of touch...check out this guy
ReplyDeleteWhat Guy?
DeleteObviously it's the little man who wasn't there. The one I saw upon the stair. He wasn't there again today. Oh how I wish he'd go away!
DeleteThat guy! We've all seen him, but no one likes to admit it.
He usally shows up when we've had too much Pino Noir.
Take a wild guess
ReplyDeleteYou're a Farmer John sock puppet.
DeleteHows it going for you today National Pricko!
ReplyDeleteOh my! Already a counterfeit of me, and I've only been around for two
Deleteor three days.
As I said before, and will probably repeat many times again, since the situation with the gaggle of goons is not apt to change, when a supposedly adult blog gets used first as childrens' sandbox, and soon thereafter as a letterbox, it's time to shake off the filth, wash up and head for home.
As Dervish aptly pointed out you fool only the dimwitted FreeThinke.
DeleteUseful advice from Max Ehrmann's "Desiderata:"
ReplyDelete"Avoid loud and aggressive persons. They are a vexation to the spirit."
Which begs the question, why in the name of reason does anyone pay even a scintilla of time considering tRump or his utterances.
DeleteBTW Franco, we notice you went members only over at your racist flagship weblog FreeThinke.
ReplyDeleteIf it's members only how would you tell if it's this virulent racist talisman you stupid, silly cunt.
DeleteYou are as stupid, as you are vile, as you are stupid, as you are a waste of DNA, and, as you are stupid.
Now, have your handlers attempt to clean your tighty whities!

DeleteCare to explain how?
DeleteMindless, idiotic assertion based on nothing part 4,000,000. And, dismally, counting.
Nope. Not to a dunce like you Bozo.
DeleteSo for the 4,000,000th straight time YOU'VE GOT NOTHING.
DeleteYou make it too easy: my 7 year old can argue circles around you. And unlike you: he's outgrown the mindless "I know you are but what am I?" answer to EVERYTHING
FreeThinke went members of blog only.
DeleteEveryone, except his fellow travelers knows what he supports and therefore represents.
Give a sparkling day with your 7 year old.

USA Today, by Thomas Maresca and John Bacon
MAE SAI, Thailand — Four more boys trapped for more than two weeks in a partially flooded cave here were brought out Monday, raising to eight the number of youths rescued but still leaving four young soccer players and their coach awaiting freedom. An aide to the Thai Navy SEALs commander confirmed that four boys were brought out Monday. Authorities said the four brought out Sunday were in good condition. (Snip) The rescue was put on hold Sunday night to allow rescuers to restock the cave with oxygen tanks. The effort cranked up again Monday morning local time ...
Leslie seems a bit frightened by both people of faith and faith itself. Or perhaps he just has a difficult time understanding
ReplyDeleteNo, I do not think RN is frightened by faith. He is frightened (as am I) by people who believe they are followers of Jesus, but who actually serve Satan. I refer to racists like Klansman Shackelford. These are fake Christians who want to impose their morality on everyone. They have no tolerance or compassion for their fellow man, only hate.
Delete👍👍👍
DeleteQuite to the contrary Klansman Shackelford. I was frightened BEFORE I finally shed the shackles of faith and mysticism years ago. I cannot tell for sure of course, but, odds are it is you Klansman that is fearful and lacks understanding.

ReplyDeleteChuckie squeezed the used Charmin and soiled himself publicly.
DeleteBe careful what you wish for Klansman. The freedoms and liberty you lose may be your own as well.
ReplyDeleteNow,now Leslie, you run from blog to blog predicting civil war,end to personal liberties,riots in the streets and the total end of freedoms. Your silliness knows no bounds.stop being Debby downer
ReplyDeleteRN is correct about loss of freedoms. I don't recall him predicting civil war. I surely would not rule it out, however. I think we will see mass civil disobedience first, however. Millions of people taking to the streets, worker strikes... that kind of thing. I doubt the majority will accept minority rule and do nothing.
DeleteThe Democrats need to resit ANY nominee that the Orange Turd puts forth. Remember that some Republicans said (prior to the election) they would seek to deny Hillary Clinton a pick and hold open the vacancy for the entire 4 years of her term?
ReplyDeleteTrump should certainly not be allowed to chose another justice while under investigation. Whether or not a sitting predisent can pardon himself (and other questions concerning Trump and his collusion with Russia) may come before the court in the near future. Trump is trying to rig the outcome by picking his own jurors. To this I say NO!!
A Conservative SCOTUS will get busy rolling back rights for many Americans. Excepting, perhaps, rich White men. The Klansman sees himself as belonging to this privileged group, so he thinks he is safe. Those who lose rights will be all those he hates. Poor people, women, workers, and minorities.
The oligarchic theocracy that evil pseudo Christians like the Klansman long for is close to becoming a reality. The destruction of America as we know it began with the "election" of Trump. Anyone cheering this is an enemy of America, as Trump is.
Sticking with your usual shtick are ya eh Klansman Skakelford. That's fine. Many others agree with similar views.

Frankly Klansman Shackelford I am more concerned with the almost certainty that a super conservative court will overturn the reproductive rights of women, marriage legality, strengthen the power of the growing theocratic oligarchy, limit the civil rights of minorities through states rights rulings, and more.

For we the Church Triumphant stand

less we fear the curious sleuth
our pious knowledge we proclaim
enforced by dungeon and the flame
Recant your words and follow us

for we despise your faith in science

Kid said in response :
BB, Great example of why I laugh every time some 'scientist' proclaims he has 'the answer' to anything. They've been wrong for thousands of years but still believe they can be finally right.
I, Franco Aragosta, responded to both:
Very clever rhyme! It contains much that is true, but it is not the Ultimate Truth.
Entrenched Power of ANY kind always becomes self-serving and self-protective. Roman Barbarians had the power in the pre-Christian era. "The Church" had the power in the Middle Ages, "Science" has it now.
The thing we need to fear most is ORTHODOXY of ANY kind.
The arrogance and self-righteeusness that come with any sort of cocksure attitude is the Achilles Heel of any form of dogmatic or doctriinal cant and rhetoric.
Life is fluid, evanescent, ever-changing, unpredictable and never competely knowable. Life by its very nature is not stable, so the attempts some have made to trap and solidify it have always been doomed to failure.
Even so, the Spirit who created and guides all is "unresting, unhasting, and silent as light, nor wanting nor wasting yet out of our sight. We blossom and flourish like leaves on a tree then withereth and fadeth, but naught changeth Thee."
True faith, which is always questing, is not at odds with Science just as true Science, which is also always questing, is not at odds with faith. Both Science and Faith search for the same thng –– TRUTH –– they only approach it frim different angles.
That means that t be real neither Faith nor Science can afford to be tendentious in their rhetoric or agenda-driven in their aims.
BRETT KAVANAUGH: OUR NEWEST SUPREME COURT JUSTICE?
ReplyDeleteWe pray today for the well-being of Judge Brett Kavanaugh who just yesterday was nominated by President Trump to fill the vacancy on the Supreme Court left by Justice Anthony Kennedy.
We pray that he and his family will withstand with aplomb the incessant barrage of lies, snide, politically-motivated insults, barbed criticisms, vilification, and calumny to which he is sure to be subjected.
We pray too that his nomination will be approved in the senate, and that he will be seated on the high court before the November election.
Most of all we pray that Judge Kavanaugh, if he survives the barrage of dirty tricks and Kangaroo Court-like proceedings to which he is sure to be subjected by the pharisiaical, power mad hypocrites determined to badger and beleaguer him, that, unlike too many Republican appointees to the bench in the past, Judge Kavnaugh will prove to be the staunch, highly principled, reliably conservative presence on the court President Trump believes he will be.

ReplyDeleteThailand Cave Rescue: All 12 Boys and Coach Successfully Rescued
The Guardian (live)
by Matthew Weaver and Helen Davidson
Michael Safi The last three navy seals and the medic, who were with the boys for the last few days, are still in the cave. It is unclear when they will emerge, but they are said to be on their way out. The weakest boys were the last to be taken out, sources have said. They are understood to include the youngest in the group – 11-year-old Chanin Wiboonrungrueng. The city of Chiang Rai is starting to party as drivers honk their horns, according to Reuters. “This is an important event in my life. It is something I will remember,” ...
I do not believe for one second (or for much more than 1 second, at least) that you care AT ALL about these boys. They aren't White and they aren't Christian. Why would you, as a self described "decent, God-fearing, natural-born Caucasian-American" care about non-White foreigners?
