...More on tape:
"Moms" (some of the same ones shown peacefully locking arms) participating in kicking in barricades meant to protect government buildings.

Well, in November, we'll know who the real Democrat candidate is.
That would be the one they've been hiding because they can't stand the t***h that the light of day might reveal. The phony Russian Collusion investigation shows us that complete nonsense mud slinging can go on for quite a while before the t***h is uncovered. So if we don't know who the real candidate is until the end of the Democratic Convention, attempts to find out the t***h will be lost in the glare and smoke of back and forth accusations.
I've been tempted to call Joe Biden a puppet of the deep state left, but that's too anthropomorphic. He's but a latex glove they're wearing that conceals the hand that will rock the cradle of the socialist, new world order tyranny.

The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
--Thomas Jefferson.

If the patriots are more likely to be martyred, so be it. The tyrants are more powerful but have fewer numbers. They don't live and breathe tyranny every waking moment -- only while at work. Otherwise, they think they can live private lives. Liberty can be preserved by attrition.

Judge Andrew Napolitano of Fox said that Trump's intervention into Portland was illegal. Another lawyer pointed out laws that make it legal.
I'm sure they're both right. It's hard to sort out the legality in this day of unconstitutional Patriot Act legislation.

But I'm completely against federal troops going into cities uninvited. Trump's philosophy on this issue is all wrong, legality aside. Sending federal troops into our cities green lights the big-government, control-all left to do the same thing in the future. Leftism is the philosophy of "speech is violence" and h**e crimes and group-think. They will be the ones to root out "pre-crime" and send disadents to labor camps.

I would have much preferred Trump to say:
"They've taken down our monuments to American history. Let the l**ted and burned out businesses be B*M's and a****a's monuments to their idea of society. As these rats are thinking that the capitalists are terrorized at the thought of not making profits until the stores are rebuilt as quickly as possible, let them find out that these businesses will not return to these cities within a generation or longer. Insurance companies might make a payment for this destruction once, but how many times would they pay a claim on a business that burns down and refuses to install emergency exits, sprinklers, fire extinguishers or smoke detectors? Fire-fighters and cops protecting those businesses is just as important to having affordable insurance rates, or having insurance at all. When city leaders hold them back, look for policies to be canceled in the future or be unaffordable. Those businesses are gone. More will follow. Cities will die. To these Democrat city leaders, I say, You broke it. You fix it!"

If he said that, the firestorm of l*****ts all over the country disagreeing with Trump about who 'broke it' is already drowning out my thoughts. But that is an argument worth having! Compare those cities with Republican run cities!

Yes. I meant Johnson's Great Society legislation.

But as far as Jim Crow laws go, they existed as laws because those rules could only exist without competition. Even in the most racially charged areas of the deep south, bussing companies that forced people to the back of the bus would have been run out of business by competition that didn't follow that policy. After all, most of the riders of public t***sportation were black. Establishments that forced b****s to enter through the back door or an alley door while w****s could use the front door would have suffered similar fate. And the school bussing legislation was h**ed by everyone. Government meddling was the problem.
Ronald Reagan had it right when he said the person to fear the most was the man who said, "I'm from the government and I'm here to help." and "Government isn't the solution to the problem, government IS the problem."
So much for legislation fixing social problems.

I'm a Republican.
I'm not real happy with Trump, but I was much less happy with the Bush's. G.H.W.'s "New World Order" crap. It was beyond creepy. There's no way that it is consistent with the US Constitution's guarantees of liberty. "W" was a place holder. His appeal (if you can call it that) was that he was comfortable with the Republican wing of the Deep State and wouldn't rock the Deep State boat (sort of like Sleepy Joe). I liked Reagan the most.

I believe in e******y of opportunity, but not of outcome. E******y of outcome is the driving force behind C*******m (or Bernie's type of socialism). It says we have to use force at first to make things equal but then people get used to it and everyone will feel equally free. It never works. No productive person will submit to their stuff being taken away. The socialist ruler, who is driven by his belief in e******y only pushes harder, and eventually ends up massacring huge numbers of people or sending them to work camps. Even e******y of opportunity must be limited to not actively preventing someone's advancement.

Governments don't care. They only exist to use force. Groups of people using crowdsourcing can do caring things. Government can't. If my neighbor comes to my door, points a gun at me and tells me that I have to pay $4000 to help pay for the operation his wife needs, he has not made me caring person. He has only made himself a thief. The civil rights legislation of the 1960's did much more harm than good.

The father of Quantum Physics, Dr. Richard Feynman, said that if the word "science" comes with adjectives, it probably isn't science. The same is true of the word "justice". When adjectives like "racial", "economic", or "social" are added, it is only done to redefine the word. Leviticus 19:15 has it right: "Do not pervert justice; do not show partiality to the poor or favoritism to the great, but judge your neighbor fairly." Justice is measuring everyone by the exact same impersonal standard.

Too many people today have no principles. Their "conscience" seems to be governed by a new word I heard recently: "squick". It's a contraction of "squeamish" and "ick". It's a little bit fear and a little bit disgust. It's what picky eaters rely on to tell them that they can't stand a new food they've just been introduced to and haven't even tasted. It's the emotion that bubble-headed tarts in titillating movies express as they are easily taken advantage of by some cad who makes them feel good. And it's what drives the emotions of v**ers in v****g booths all over the country -- that and their public school indoctrinated notion that e******y is a principle to live by. E******y is not natural. It can only be achieved by sustained government force, and then, only nominally. “Human beings are born with different capacities. If they are free, they are not equal. And if they are equal, they are not free.” --Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
