The Porta John Thread rendered to its essence without the Retardation...

It takes an hour or in my case the time necessary to empty the dish washer boil a can of coffee and cook sausage and eggs.

You will certainly come away better able to express in words what we all know.....



Sadly what he mentions as the fix did not happen.

He is on point IMO

He breaks it down to where a layman can get the gist of what's really going on in our world today. Smart man. Great post. Mac

Thanks for this… That was great!

And I’m struck again at the depths we’ve sunk to as a country and a society. A shame the mid terms didn’t bring about the change we should have seen, but if they can steal the Presidential election in 2020, are we really surprised it happened again a couple years later? Same players, in the same locations.

Not sure we’ll ever see an election not wrought with corruption again in my lifetime. Hope I’m wrong…

Might listen to this later, but probably not, as being lectured by Victor Davis Hanson on the topic of liberty is an irony of the deeply unfunny sort. I get that he's trying hard to reform his reputation after 15+ years as a neocon bagholder, but I don't need to be part of that process.

The essence?
Everything the left offers is based on avoiding personal responsibility and/or getting free stuff.

I thought it was a pretty good explanation of how a true middle class makes The United States unique in the history of the world, and it’s the engine that drove our ascendancy to the forefront of the human experience.

And I think he outlines the danger of the actions taken by the left (really the ‘cosmopolitan’ globalist elites)…. It starts with Balkanizing us, creating a fiat currency, and of course ending, or at least greatly diminishing private property rights. Eliminating the second amendment is the key though…an unarmed populace is a compliant populace.

Look at The UK, New Zealand, Australia, and now Canada today. Not to mention older history a la Weimar Republic Germany, etc.

Sobering stuff.

You can not have freedom without a strong middle class.

Every tyranny operates on a small elite, a protection class committed to protect the small elite, and a vast swarm of the lowest common denominator.

I saw a stat today while they were covering the debt ceiling.
$31.5 trillion dollar debt equals $95K for every American.
$250K for every taxpayer.

Or just about equal to the average 401K.

I bet they know a convenient way to zero the debt.

I would like to see what the true number is for "taxpayers". I am sure that they used that $250K number from the workforce participation and not actual people that are paying taxes.
Remove all local, state, federal employees and those businesses who's sole income is from government contracts and then show what the actual taxpayers owe.

Or just about equal to the average 401K.
