A Message For That Fascist Socialist Asshole Bernie Sanders

Your sandwich is up, dude (looks like a Filet-O-Fish). Wrap, please. And then, yes, either go to school or learn a trade so that you can legitimately make $15 an hour (resign from Congress, in other words). You mother-fucker.

I've heard Bernie has a lot of credit card debt and just bought a real expensive house, so he can't retire. But that's what socialism is all about... living on debt. And, at 74, this dumbass should have built up a sizable nest egg. Instead he OWES money?

Thank Ayn Rand this parasite didn't get the nomination. Although I don't know if he would have won or not. Given that many of his fellow losers voted for him because they wanted all that free stuff he was promising. Looted from Makers such as myself. So he might have had a shot.

I Warned You About That Treacherous Rodent, The Homely Debbie Wasserman Schultz

Now that we know for certain (via the Wikileaks release of the hacked DNC emails) that Debbie Wasserman Schultz and the rest of those goons at the DNC were busily stacking the deck against Bernie Sanders in an effort to pave the way for Hillary Clinton I must say...

I tried to warn the left about this was going to happen way back in 2012. I knew then that Bernie Sanders would run for the Democratic nomination, but that he wouldn't get it because of DNC meddling (under Schultz). But they wouldn't listen. I remember writing over and over on ALL the Lefty blogs that this would happen. I even went as far as to purchase an auto-dialer which I set up to call every number in every phone book (at GREAT expense to myself) and play my pre-recorded warning.

That's how desperate I was to spread the message about DWS. I, being a genuine honest-to-God mind-reader, knew this would happen. I read the "mind" of DWS as well as that of B-S and therefore knew B-S would run for president, and DWS (in her capacity as DNC chair) would betray him.

What can I say, that's just how good of a mind-reader I am (I'm available for parties/conventions/etc, btw. I only charge $1600 plus a few beers. Something imported). I'm not so good at convincing Leftists of shit, obviously. But their heads are so far up their butts nobody would have any luck in that department. Maybe they'll listen to me now?

Almost forgot to mention... I also warned Lefty bloggers of how Ugly (with a capital U) Schultz is. In fact (now that I think of it), I probably issued warnings about Debbie's grotesque appearance a FEW more times than I warned about her future treachery. 200 or so times more at the most. I'm talking about online (not counting the auto-dialer). Obviously, if you count that, then I probably issued in excess of 700 million warnings.

Should have been enough. But clearly it wasn't. Liberals being completely blindsided by the WikiLeaks email dump. They didn't see it coming. Even though I warned them. But then, they all think DWS (a total uggo) is beautiful. Really. wd wanted (still wants?) to kiss and marry her, I think. Something, should I think about it for too long, would surely cause me to lose my lunch!

On The Fact That Bernie Sanders Hasn't Conceded Yet Despite The Fact That The Schmuck Is Mathematically Eliminated

So not only does this guy know nothing about economics, he apparently can't compute, either. What an embarrassment. I mean, I knew Bernie Sanders was dumb, but how many of his followers know he's a fucking retard?

Sure, some say he's staying in until the convention so he can maximize his leverage. And yeah, that is a lot more believable than my narrative, which is that he actually thinks he can still win... but that won't stop me from spinning it.

Fact is I figured out awhile back that the dimwit should be living in some group home for mentally challenged persons. As opposed to being a senator running for Congress.

We Should Be Squeezing Blood From The Turnips! Lazy Mooching Poors Pay Way Too Little In Taxes!

The fact is that, even when you account for payroll, excise, and other taxes, the bottom quintile of American taxpayers only pay 1.8% of their income to the Feds (Source). Yeah, that asshole Bernie tends to gloss over this fact (if in fact he even knows about it). Big surprise, huh?

BTW, don't look at that link I provided above, because if you do, you'll read some facts that don't jibe with my narrative. Which is that some taxpayers have it easy (freeloaders mooching off the system), while others (the Makers) unfairly pay most of the taxes (they are the hosts to the parasitical leeches in the bottom quintile).

Inconvenient to my narrative would be the fact that "the payroll tax is regressive (the effective rate falls as income rises): it claimed an average of 8.2 percent of income from tax units in the lowest quintile but only 6.8 percent from the top quintile; for the top 1 percent, the tax averaged just 0.9 percent of income".

And the Tax Policy Center (the source I initially cited) also notes that "a key insight from economics is that taxes are not always borne by the individual or business that writes the check to the IRS. Sometimes taxes are shifted. For example, most economists believe that the employer portion of payroll taxes translate into lower wages and are thus ultimately borne by workers".

SUPER inconvenient to my Libertarian narrative would be that "there is not a consensus, however, on the economic incidence of other taxes, such as the corporate income tax". Inconvenient because I'm for the elimination of all corporate taxes, because such taxes are passed along to the consumer! Or so the brain dead Libertarian talking point goes. As you can see the TPC says "wait a minute" in regards to that one!

Then there is also the fact that "in 2011, households in the top, middle, and bottom quintiles received 52, 14, and 5 percent of the nation's before-tax income, respectively". So, the bottom quintile is only paying 1.8%, but they are only making 5% of all the income that's earned.

Regardless, I say that (if taxes are to be paid AT ALL, and I'm of the opinion that all taxation is theft) we should squeeze these turnips until they bleed. Tax them til they squeal. Because if someone has to pay (for the government to function), then I say it should be the worthless Takers. As opposed to the worthy Makers.

Let the rich man keep what he's earned. Time for the free ride the poor leeches have been enjoying for so long (at the rich man's expense) to end! Ayn Rand would absolutely agree.

Will Our Next President Be Gary Johnson?

So, here we are, actually on the verge of having to watch two of the most low-ball jamming and distrusted politicians in the country (Clinton and Trump) defecate on each other for the next five months in what is bound to be one of the most rancid presidential races in U.S. history?!

More and more I'm beginning to think that this existence thing of ours isn't actual but rather some virtual reality, hologram, dream, or video game. 'Cause I ask you here, what sane and cogent civilization would act like this? IT MAKES NO SENSE. Maybe we're participants in a game being played by the super-intelligent AI robots?

And, yes, I'm begging you, at least consider throwing away your vote on Gary Johnson, whose honesty, integrity, competence, sanity, and dedication to our beloved oligarchs we cannot question (at least not to this ludicrous level).

So, while I previously said that Johnson would probably have to kill somebody for me to not vote for him again, now I'm thinking that I'd vote for Johnson even if he out and out murdered someone. Heck, I'd still vote for Johnson even if we were to find out that he was a serial killer who pranced about in the nude wearing nothing but his victim's skin (in the privacy of his own home).

One thing I would not do, however, would be to write in the name "Les Carpenter" (AKA Lester Nation, the former proprietor of this blog). That guy is an asshole.

BTW, if Donald Trump were to be wise enough to select Gary Johnson as his VP, I'd vote for Donald in a heartbeat. Although I think Gary might say no if Donald asked him. However, IMO, Donald Trump might not be that bad. Also, at the end of Trump's 8 years in office Gary could run and win as POTUS (given the fact that a VP going on to become president isn't unprecedented).

On the other hand, the nation might just decide that neither Trump nor Clinton are fit for the presidency and decide to send Gary Johnson (a high-ball jammer) to the White House! Causing me (as well as others who worship the plutocrats) to jump for joy! Unfortunately, that seems unlikely, what with Miss Clinton going after the Bernie voters by offering to give away boatloads of other people's money. Not quite as much as Comrade Sanders wanted to give away, but still a LOT.

So, will Gary Johnson be our next president? Maybe not. A factor that might help Gary clinch the presidency could be the selection of the right person as his VP. Now, the former proprietor of this blog often suggested that he might be a good VP pick for Johnson. But given the fact that he went from being an anarcho-capitalist Libertarian who worshiped Ayn Rand and who thoroughly despised the Progressive Left to somebody who essentially signs off on every cockamamie Leftist notion under the damned sun? I'm thinking that I would be a MUCH better choice.

Surely Gary Johnson is smart enough to select Willis Hart as his VP. I mean, I wouldn't be surprised in the least if Gary reads this blog and takes pointers from it. And, a Johnson-Hart ticket would almost be a shoe-in, I think. Except for the fact that the voters are quite dumb. I mean, Bernie Sanders almost defeated Hillary Clinton for the Democratic nomination, and he's a Socialist for Christ!

Message To Bernie Sanders: I Hate Your Mother-Fucking Socialist Guts!

Does Bernie Sanders read this blog? I doubt it. If he does, however, I'd like to take this opportunity to let him know that I hate his mother-fucking Socialist guts with the intensity of the sun going supernova, expanding and engulfing our planet, burning the universe and vaporizing the earth!! (an explosion that would be roughly the equivalent of a few octillion nuclear warheads going off).

Frankly, I doubt I've ever felt this intensely regarding any human being who has ever lived. Which means that I hate Bernie more than I hate Abraham Lincoln, the most evil man who ever lived (right up there with Stalin and Mao).

The problem with Sanders isn't that he's evil (which he is) but that he's incredibly stupid. He's so stupid that he belongs in a group home for the mentally impaired. A place where the minders need to wipe the drool from the chins of the mouth-breathers.

My hatred for Sanders is also significantly stronger than any love I've ever felt for any human being as well. Although, as a Libertarian I can honestly say that there has never been anyone I've felt has earned my love, so that's a low bar that really isn't worth mentioning.

Yes, regarding Sanders I previously said "the American Eagle needs BOTH of its wings to fly", but I've changed my mind bigley on this. I still believe that the eagle needs two wings, but now I'm more convinced than ever that Sanders is simply too far Left. The dude is a fucking Socialist, for christ!

Now? I'm thinking that one of the eagle wings should be Right-wing and the other should be centrist. Honestly, I don't know what the fuck was going through my mind when I wrote that, given the fact that only the dumbest people on the plant subscribe to Socialist idiocy.

Which is why the idea of Bernie Sanders as president scares me shitless. Because he'd likely start rounding up the rich folks who voice (justified) anger regarding his massive tax hikes. And shoot a few of them in the head to make examples of them.

If I'm completely honest, I think that if Sanders were elected president, I'd seriously consider moving out of the country. Because Sanders (according to his own rhetoric) would do his damndest to utterly destroy our democratic republic. And for that, yes, I absolutely hate his fucking guts. The asshole should have defected to the USSR when he traveled there for his honeymoon!

I'm With Trump In His Desire To Restrict Raghead Access To Our Country

Did you know it's a fact that only 33% of Ragheads living in Britian would turn in a terrorist to authorities (Source)? Obviously the solution is to not to allow in hundreds of thousands more of 'em? Apparently (even Angela Merkel has conceded that multiculturalism has totally failed).

Keep 'em out, I say. As for Trump, he says we need to keep them out, but only until we can "figure out what's going on". But we know what's going on! Islam is backward and incompatible with the values of the West. I say we should not only ban more of them from entering the United States, but kick out many that are already here (67% maybe?).

Perhaps we should start rounding them up and putting them in camps (the ones who would NOT turn in a terrorist to the authorities). Although that's not going to happen under Obama. Hopefully, after Trump is elected and figures out what's going on (they hate us)... then we can start deporting them? Trump did say that his administration would look at that and many other things. One of the "many other things" SHOULD be deporting Muslims as far as I'm concerned.

Fucking dirty flea-infested raghead terrorists. And the ones who aren't terrorists are terrorist lovers! As the study I linked to shows. Make America great again by kicking them out. I mean, here in the US we're the champion of diversity, inclusion, and tolerance, except when it comes to Ragheads. Which is why it's a very bad idea to allow the mass immigration of folks from cultures in which these very concepts are totally abhorred.

This is "logic" that an average 8th grader would have been able to dismantle when I was a kid but which today is quite literally parlayed around ad nauseam by 35 year-old insular feminists as a form of spiritual and ethical enlightenment. Boy, has the West ever gotten stupid. And, by "West" I mean Progressives.

Those fuckers are determined to destroy America. I wish we could deport them. Comrade Bernie Sanders would be a good place to start, IMO. Send him back to the country where he honeymooned (the USSR). Why didn't he apply for asylum when he was there? As opposed to coming back here and attempting to make the US more like Soviet Russia.

So, even though I'm voting for Gary Johnson? Bring on the Trump presidency, I say.

On Why I'm A Climate Change Skeptic

It is a fact that A) the earth's climate Is a chaotic system and B) because of that any attempt at predicting the weather hundreds of years into the future is a fool's errand on steroids.

And yet our fascistic and moronic politicians continue to think otherwise, spout ridiculous claims (that 97% of scientists agree with their views, that CO2 is the primary driver of temperature, that we already possess the technology to significantly decarbonize, etc.), and proclaim that they can control the climate through such idiotic initiatives as cap and trade, a carbon tax, green energy boondoggles, etc. How utterly embarrassing.

Although some might say that the embarrassment should be felt by deniers such as myself. If I were to be completely honest, I'd have to admit that deniers like me are huge liars and totally full of shit. For example, I pulled the typical denier fast one by conflating weather and climate. Then I lied about the fact that 97% of climate scientists agree that human activity is a significant contributing factor in changing mean global temperatures.

As for decarbonizing, certainly there is technology that currently exists that could make some significant progress toward this goal. The purpose of referring to green energy projects as a "boondoggles" is to STOP further progress toward decarbonization. Personally, I'm a big fan of dirty fossil fuels. They are there, and it would be foolish of our plutocrats to leave big profits on the table.

What's more important, folks; saving our planet or further enriching our beloved oligarchs? Obviously, as a Conservative, I'm for the latter and NOT the former. Actually, if hundreds of millions of worthless poor people die... that would be awesome IMO. Remember that the Black Death, which "reduced world population from an estimated 450 million to between 350 and 375 million in the 14th century", had POSITIVE benefits.

...the Black Death raised the standard of living of many survivors who inherited estates from the plague's victims. One sign of this was that peasant families, who, before the plague, were so poor that they sat at the dinner table on a common bench and ate from a common plate, now had individual stools and plates. This higher standard of living would lead to a more even wealth distribution and the recovery of the economy after 1450. (The Black Death and its Impact. c.1300-1450).

Now, one might think that, as a Libertarian, I'd be strongly opposed to "a more even wealth distribution", but what we saw following the Black Death was that those in extreme poverty were raised up to a poverty level that was moderate. Sure, millions will die due to the coming climate catastrophe, most of those will be among the world's poorest. But among those who survive there still will be many who are extremely poor (as most of the population of the world is quite poor).

What I'm saying is that I'm fine with a more even wealth distribution among the poor of the world. The plutocrats will be able to hold onto what is theirs and even increase their wealth when the apocalypse comes (apocalypse in the eyes of those the poor, MANY of which will be exterminated, mostly due to flooding and famine).

BTW, as for the poors being "exterminated", I use that word because surely poor people are a plague upon the world (my view as an Ayn Rand-worshipping Libertarian). Those of us who remain will all be in a better off position (at least in the long term). Which is why I WELCOME the coming climate change catastrophes.

And why I lie about those trying to stop them as being "ridiculous". The world needs a good Randian fumigation to rid the world of the parasites. Moochers like the greedy Bernie voters who think they deserve what the wealthy man has worked hard for. Or worked hard to steal by exploiting workers (as is their right). I'll be applauding when these assholes start starving/dying en masse.

On The Jim Webb Presidency That Will Never Be

So, the Democrats rejected him for Bernie (a socialist a-hole/dullard) and Hillary (a crooked piece of shit lawyer). Just because he's a Republican? How deflating is that? Man, has that party ever hit the skids.

And, by "skids" I mean returned to it's FDR Progressive roots (HRC pushed there by that Commie fucker Sanders). As opposed to going in a more "Moderate" direction. By which I mean Conservative. Because Webb used to be Republican. Then he pretended to be a Democrat for awhile. A charade that ended with his being soundly (and I mean SOUNDLY) rejected by the American people. Via polling/failing to fund raise. He never got one vote in the primaries, as he dropped out before any were held.

Yes, this is the man who should be president. If not Gary Johnson. Sure, neither stood/stands a chance, but Webb (if he had obtained the Democratic nomination despite being a Republican) surely would have ascended to the White House. While Gary, even though he is still running, will likely not even get one percent of the popular vote.

Don't get me wrong, I'm still voting for (throwing away my vote on) Gary Johnson. But if the American people had been smart enough to get behind Webb and Webb was the Democratic nominee? I'd be voting for him. BTW, by "smart enough" I mean if they had been fooled into believing Webb was a Democrat and not a Republican. But, unfortunately they were not.

But did you hear that Webb's sore LOSERness caused him to say (despite being a Democrat pretending to be Democrat), "I could vote for Trump, but not Hillary"? Yeah, I'd be sore too if I was as soundly rejected by the electorate as Webb was.

However, as I noted previously, the American people saw through his transparent "Democrat" deception. Even though Webb was hopeful that he could trick them, as he tricked the people of Virginia when he ran AND WON a senate seat as a "Democrat". Albeit a Conservative one. But that was in the South where they like their "Democrats" to be of the Conservative variety. Obviously Webb's "Democrat" act failed when presented to the country as a whole, which is a damn shame. Fuck the voters for being so dumb. By which I mean smart.

On The Fact That Willis Hart Is Smart And You Are Dumb

The average voter in America being dumber than a box of rocks (all too willing to accept the whole "free lunch" narrative), it's not a high bar. So, given that fact, I, Willis Hart am a genius in comparison. Also not in comparison, but in reality as well. Being a Libertarian, and given the fact that Libertarians are an insignificant voting block, clearly I'm in the 1% of the smartest individuals on the plant (or less, given that Gary Johnson received less than 1% of the vote).

Which brings me to an individual longtime readers of this blog will surely be familiar with, a man who used to blog here under the moniker "Lying Lester" (AKA Les Carpenter of RNUSA). A man who used to identify as an anarcho-captitalist (a batshit crazy Libertarian offshoot, followers of which believe in subjagation for the poors. Or death if they refuse to submit).

Les Carpenter also worshiped the great philosopher Ayn Rand (she who rightly identified greedy poors as parasites) and thoroughly despised the Progressive Left. And, it was for these reasons I USED to have great respect for him. Because we were so very strongly in agreement, as I believe in all these things as well... I'm batshit crazy, hate poors and progressives (I'd have added that I also worship Rand, but that would be redundant, as all worshippers of Rand are batshit crazy).

But now Les has degenerated into somebody who essentially signs off on every cockamamie Leftist notion under the damned sun - from demonizing fossil fuels to playing the race card to demagoguing on income inequality, class warfare, etc. Which makes me wonder what the fuck happened? He's getting up there in years, so perhaps it's senility? Perhaps he fell and hit his head and is suffering from brain damage? (Or, perhaps it's that the hit to the head reversed some pre-existing brain damage?)

Whatever the explanation, this is exponentially far from normal behavior and, yes, when you throw in the whole Jersey McJones alter-ego, it's damned near psychotic. Now he agrees with that asshole Bernie Sanders that government confiscation on a frightening scale is exactly what the US needs?!

Me? I know it won't make America great again. And yeah, that's a nod to Donald Trump. A candidate who might not be so bad, but that's only compared to the others (who are all terrible beyond comprehension). Which is why I'm voting for Gary Johnson, the only man who can save America. Although Trump might not do too much damage as potus.

Which is why I'm hoping that if our next president isn't Gary Johnson (the candidate the electorate is too dumb to vote for) then it's Donald Trump. Although it SHOULD be Johnson. But, like I said, the electorate is way too dumb to elect him.

Les Carpenter SAYS he's voting for Johnson, but he also bashes Donald Trump non-stop on his blog, which seriously disappoints me. And has written positive things about that fucker Comrade Sanders, as well as slammed me for pointing out how violent Black people are (in agreement with the hard-core racial demagogue, Octopus). Fuck both of them!

On The Fact That Donald Trump (Or Whoever The Republicans Nominate) Will Likely Be Our Next President (And Hillary Clinton Will Get Prison Time)

Have you heard that Hillary Clinton's lead over Bernie Sanders in New York seems to be shrinking? It's obviously not good news for Mrs. Clinton but if I was her I'd probably be a shitload more concerned about the Justice Department and FBI primaries than the New York one. Because if Miss Hillary loses those two everything else is purely academic.

And I absolutely believe she will. Be indicted and sent up the river, that is. Or I pray she is. I mean, how awesome would that be? Finally, an end to Miss Hillary's life of crime. It's about time, I say. Unfortunately she'll likely only get a few years, instead of the rest of her life. Which she should receive, given the many decades of criminal activity she's been involved in.

Some people say she murdered Vince Foster. Now, I don't know if there is anything to that charge, but I absolutely do think she's guilty of enough other crimes that she should be locked up and the key should be thrown away. Although, yeah, I surely do believe she's capable of murder.

By the way, that means that Comrade Sanders will likely be the Democratic nominee. And be crushed by whoever the Republicans nominate. Which, given the fact that he's won the most votes, should be Donald Trump. But there might be a "brokered convention" and the nomination might be stolen from Mr. Trump. I just hope the nominee isn't Ted Cruz. I'd be content with Trump or Kasich.

Not that I'd vote for either of these guys (I'm a Johnson man). But any Republican would be better than the pantsuit-wearing piece of shit bitch Hillary or the economically illiterate mouth-breathing moron Sanders. We're talking a "lesser of two evils" situation. But Trump or Kasich (not Cruz) would be significantly the lesser of two evils, of that I am 99.9 percent convinced.

But back to Miss Hillary... how many years behind bars do you think she'll get? I hear that Petraeus got 2 years of probation and a 100k fine. Given the fact that what Miss Hillary did was 100 times worse, I says she should get 100 years in prison and a 10 million dollar fine.

On the Fact That Bernie Sanders Plunders More Private Property From US Citizens Through Civil Asset Forfeiture Than Burglars Do

https://www.illinoispolicy.org/law-enforcement-now-seizes-more-property-from-citizens-than-burglars/

Sure, it isn't that asshole Bernie Sanders solely who is engaged in this plundering. Elizabeth Warren and Barney Frank are the other two participants in this trio of greedy thieves who are good at plundering. With these 3 individuals in office (who, if you look at the fine-print of their progressive mission-statement it reads, "except when the oppressor is the state") no lockbox is safe.

Yes, some of the people targeted are criminals but a lot of them aren't (shopkeepers who don't take credit cards and who only accept cash, for example), and none of them are ever presumed innocent. Of course, the real scary thing here is that the problem may even be worse than this.

According to the libertarian Institute for Justice (the ONLY people who give a damn about this injustice), a) state and local police forces are also abusing this practise and b) a lot of the stolen property (yeah, that's what I call it) ends up off the books and so the tally may in fact be much higher.

Oh, and most of the people being hurt by this; yeah, they tend to be poor and working class. Yet another huge blind-spot for the supposed social-justice warrior Bernie Sanders! Which is why I say, fuck you Bernie!

Of course, some of Comrade Sanders supporters might point to the following page from his website, but I say do not let the following fool you.

An Excerpt from the Bernie Sanders "Racial Justice Page": In many cities all over our country, the incentives for policing are upside down. Departments are bringing in substantial sums of revenue by seizing the personal property of people who are suspected of criminal involvement. So-called civil asset forfeiture laws allow police to take property from people even before they are charged with a crime, much less convicted of one. Even worse, the system works in a way that makes it very difficult and expensive for an innocent person to get his or her property back. We must end programs that actually reward officials for seizing assets without a criminal conviction or other lawful mandate. Departments and officers should not profit off of such seizures. Local governments that rely on tickets and fines to pay bills can become dependent on implicit quotas for law enforcement. When policing is a source of revenue tied to the financial sustainability of agencies, officers are pressured to meet internal goals which can lead to unnecessary or unlawful traffic stops and citations which disproportionately affect people of color. Implicit quota systems promote racial stereotyping and breed distrust between officers and communities of color. (link).

Sounds good, huh? But I'll tell you what my problem is with this page, which is that Sanders addresses civil asset forfeiture in the context of "racial justice", as if "Whitey" has never been subjected to this State crime! Yeah, and Comrade Sanders put this in his platform due to pressure from the extremist group "Black Lives Matter" (the group that has the AUDACITY to blame Black deaths on law enforcement, when the FACT is that it's Black on Black violence that is the cause of most Black deaths)!!

Which is how I know that Bernie (on this matter) is a fucking liar (in addition to being a liar on MANY other issues). He's only pandering to BLM, and the fucker isn't really interested in doing squat regarding civil asset thievery. If he was, why not propose legislation RIGHT NOW? Why can he only do this if elected president? Don't fall for Comrade Sanders' lies, people!

JFK Was A Fiscally Conservative Republican (Just Like MLK)

Was John Fitzgerald Kennedy a fan of Ayn Rand? I don't know. But if he were alive today I'm positive he would be a Libertarian. For his time the facts show that he was a conservative Democrat that could have run as a Republican. This conclusion due to the fact that he warned us about the dangers of big government, AKA "Leviathan".

"As the responsibilities of government become enlarged, there has been a corresponding assumption of authority by the state. It is obvious from the history of the past twenty years that whether we like it or not, whether we be Republicans or Democrats, the government will continue to play an increasingly large part in our lives. The theme of today - the scarlet thread that runs throughout all of the thoughts and actions of people all over the world - is one of resignation of great problems to the all-absorbing hands of the great Leviathan - the state. The trend is not divisible. We in the United States suffer from it, if less intensely". (10/18/1949. From a speech before the Miami Junior Chamber of Commerce). And two months later at the University of Notre Dame, this conclusion: "It is therefore vital that we become concerned with maintaining the authority of the people, of the individual, over the state".

Inspiring words and, yes, light-years different from the statist bull-crap currently emanating from Sanders and even Hillary now. So, you still think that only the Republicans have changed?

As for Martin Luther King Jr... he actually was a Republican. Yeah, I'm sure that, in response to my assertions, many Democrats will say that I'm with those on the Right who are trying to co-opt these figures because they're popular. And, since efforts to sully their reputations have largely failed, attempting to rewrite history and claim they were actually Conservative is a better course of action.

To that I say phooey. Sure, there may be something to these "co-opting" charges, but I say "so what". Personally I think it's a good strategy.

Bernie Sanders Is An Insane Lunatic Who Will Destroy Our Republic If Elected!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Firstly, the number of exclamation points I used in the title of post? They are TOTALLY warranted! The reason? Lately I've been thinking that Mrs. Clinton HAS to know that Bernie Sanders is monumentally full of shit and a total lunatic but because the Democratic primary voters are just as outside the mainstream as those on the Republican side she's afraid to bitch-slap him and has even tried to match his Leftist pandering at times!!

I mean, we all know that Hillary Clinton is actually a Moderate to Conservative Democrat and Comrade Sanders is a fucking Socialist, who if elected president, could destroy our Republic! This is exactly why democracies have a penchant to devour themselves (the fact that people when given the choice will almost always vote for those who promise them the most while making others pay for it) and why the Founding Fathers created a Republic instead.

Hopefully we still have enough checks and balances to ward off a total collectivist coup and right out fiscal ship. 'Cause if we don't, watch out. You can be sure that a president Sanders will try his damndest to make our beloved wealthy Makers pay "their fair share". What a fucking asshole. This drooling maniac should be straight-jacketed and locked up in a mental institution. Instead he's running for president? Unbelievable!

Yeah, that's why I'm 100 percent convinced that Donald Trump might not be that bad of a president. Although I'll be voting for Gary Johnson I realize he has no chance of actually getting elected. So Trump getting in might be the best we can hope for. Especially if Bernie Sanders clinches the nomination, Ayn Rand forbid!

Even if it's getting less and less likely... and more and more likely that Hillary will be the nominee (unless she's indicted, convicted, and sent up the river). Yeah, I really think that's a distinct possibility. And then what? A Trump versus Sanders race. Which means that Sanders could actually win! Hopefully we still have enough checks and balances to ward off a total collectivist coup and right out fiscal ship. 'Cause if we don't, watch out.

I might move to Hong Kong.

On The Fact That Political Hacks Bernie Sanders, Barney Frank & Elizabeth Warren Want To Steal Your Property

I heard that Bernie Sanders, Barney Frank, and Elizabeth Warren got together and decided that they fully supported thievery via government by the way of civil asset forfeiture and property seizure by way of eminent domain. Not surprising in that if you look at the fine-print of their progressive mission-statement it reads, "except when the oppressor is the state".

A lot of people don't realize it but the IRS can confiscate your life-savings and they don't even have to charge you with a crime first. It's called civil forfeiture and, while its initial purpose was mostly to target drug-dealers, it has quite literally made criminals of small business owners whose only sin is the fact that they don't take credit cards and make small deposits in cash (restructuring, its called; the IRS evidently seeing cash dealings as intrinsically suspicious).

Of course, the really scary thing in all of these scenarios is that a) the plaintiff (i.e. victim) is never innocent until proven guilty but guilty until proven innocent and b) if it wasn't for groups like the Institute for Justice (a LIBERTARIAN outfit - the progressives sitting it out again) most of us wouldn't even know about this shit. The government as a powerful force for good? Yeah, right.

By the way, I totally lied when I said that Bernie Sanders fully supports thievery by way of civil asset forfeiture. What he actually said is "that he will fight civil forfeiture, and that it's a big issue which basically punishes the poor".

Punishing the poor? I'm actually in favor of it. Although I'm for "punishing" them by taking away the free stuff. Bernie Sanders wants to give the freeloaders a LOT more free goodies! Anyway, as Bernie himself said, "he's learning more about it". Right. Sounds like a totally bullshit excuse to me. He's been in Congress for decades and now he's only catching up now? I doubt he'll do a damn thing, except perhaps vote to continue seizing the assets of small business owners (who he hates). What a fucking asshole!

Proof of Bernie's hatred is the fact that he wants to force small business owners to overpay low-wage workers and thus drive them out of business. The truth is that there is no limit to the number of taxes that Bernie Sanders wants to increase and there is no limit to the amount of new government he wants to create. Personally, I don't think that's where the American people want government to go. They're tired of these big-government solutions.

Libertarians, on the other hand? They believe in empowering people so that they can pursue their own American dream. Which bodes well for the Gary Johnson candidacy, I think. Perhaps the American people will wise up and elect this awesome Libertarian their next president? Sadly, this probably won't happen. Due to the fact that there are too many lazy freeloaders voting. Some Whites. But also (in HIGHER percentages) lazy Blacks (who are also VERY violent, but I digress).

I commend the GOP for its vote suppression tactics, but (unless they REALLY ramp up the voter suppression), it might not be enough. And, even if it is, it won't work in Gary Johnson's favor. Goddamn it!

On Our Possible Future President Donald Trump Being Maligned By The Leftist Media

Specifically I'm referring to a recent Yahoo hit-piece that compares Donald Trump to George Wallace, but there are many other examples of unfair treatment from the Leftist media of Mr. Trump. A fact that makes me SO MAD! Which is why I predict that if I patiently wait to see a comparable piece comparing Hillary to Nixon or Sanders to Ho Chi Minh, I'd be waiting forever.

So, yeah, I reject the brain diseased idea that Trump has an "advantage" due to the "free media exposure". Not when all the "free exposure" is negative in nature. More likely it is hurting his campaign rather than helping it. This just goes to show how popular Trump is with the voters... and how likely it is that he will be our next president, I think. Which wouldn't be so terrible, IMO. Sure, I'm for Gary Johnson, but a president Trump? There is no way it could be worse than a Sanders or Clinton presidency. At least, as a Republican, Trump is a fiscal conservative and not a Commie (and I think the facts show that Trump might be more fiscally conservative than your average Republican).

P.S. And what exactly has Trump done to or said about black people that is comparable to George Wallace? I mean, yeah, he said that dumb thing about illegal immigrants and wants a pause on Muslim immigration but a) he never denigrated Mexicans as a whole, only that the illegal ones are rapers, and b) based on that Pew research study (which showed that a majority of citizens of Muslim countries hold views which are 180 degrees diametrical to ours) and the fact that even many of Obama's own security people have warned us of a possible terrorist infiltration of the migrant population, his Muslim pause may not be anywhere near as insane as its being made out to be...

And it's certainly a boatload less draconian than what FDR, that progressive darling, did to the Japanese. Even if Trump pushes for that registry of Muslims he proposed (Trump said he would certainly implement that — absolutely, in reference to a law requiring Muslims in the United States to register in a database). What would be the big deal if that happened? I mean, most of the terrorism comes from the Muslim community, so I think that maybe we should have a registry.

The bottom line here is that Trump is reasonable and pragmatic and the Leftist media referring to him as racist is a vicious smear. And, quite frankly, all these lies about Mr. Trump really make my blood boil! And, that there are large numbers of partisans ON BOTH SIDES that don't want Trump elected? It makes me think that it's possible that Trump might make a very good president.

Bernie Sanders Is Functionally Retarded

Yes, folks, this is sad but true. The dimwit should be living in some group home for mentally challenged persons. As opposed to being a senator running for Congress. And what are the odds of that dullard and Leftist lapdog John Oliver ever doing a 22 minute diatribe on the danger of a Sanders presidency (as he did against Trump)? Zero is probably low-balling it in that this ass is a total partisan hack who only denigrates Republicans (not that the clapping seals are complaining, mind you). I could be wrong but I doubt it.

It isn't like I've seen any educational transcripts or test results that show Sanders is retarded, by the way. But the fact that he doesn't comb his hair is enough physical proof I think. I'm surprised the guy doesn't need a minder to wipe the drool from his chin, for Christ!

Don't think I've forgotten the non-physical proof, BTW. Which would be the fact that he's an economically illiterate socialist for Christ, in that he doesn't subscribe to Libertarian/Austrian economics. And he wants to hold guns to the heads of successful people in order to confiscate their property, which makes my blood boil! Sure, a law raising taxes would be enough to get the job done, but Sanders STILL wants to threaten people with guns!

Proof this maniac should be unacceptable to Liberals. Yeah, he's got like a D- from the NRA, but he really wants to shoot some rich people in the head if they don't want to pay. To make an example of them, I'm guessing. So who is the REAL fascist? Yeah, if my choices were Sanders or Trump, I'd take Trump.

As for John Oliver? I say we deport his ass back to England. And a president Trump might just do that. Even though Oliver is White. Or he might sue him. Remember Trump said he wanted to change the libel laws so that he could sue and get a lot of money? Sure, that would be a violation of the first amendment, I think. But I'd still laugh my ass off if the liberal buffoon Oliver lost his shirt after being sued by president Trump!

Bernie Sanders Is A Dimwitted Bastard, An Economically Illiterate Sniveling Coward & An Embarassment!

I mean, COME ON! This moron is a United States Senator?! Proof positive that many voters are drooling idiots who only care about free stuff! That is the only explanation I can come up with as to how this fucking asshole got elected to congress. He's a fucking socialist, for Christ!

Sanders is such a sniveling coward that he allowed Black Lives Matter Movement racists to strong-arm him at his own fucking rally, pilfer his microphone and insult his audience! And Sanders just rolled over like a diabetic old hound-dog!

This is one thing Donald Trump can't be criticized for. If anyone at any of his rallies gets out of line they get roughed up! But the dim bastard Sanders wouldn't know a Sister Souljah moment if it started performing fellatio on him.

Sanders is so gutless that he can't call out Black Lives Matter for the extremist movement that it is. I find it highly offensive that Black folks are blaming law enforcement and the White community for Blacks getting killed. The hypocrites ignore how many of their community are killed by other Blacks (gangbangers like Mookie, Ray-Ray, Dre, Slice, etc)!

Sure, police violence may be their issue, so me criticizing them for this is akin to taking issue with the American Cancer Society not saying anything about drownings, but I STILL say they should! The BLM movement should ignore these police shootings and focus on Black on Black violence, IMO.

So the hell what if an unarmed Black suspect is gunned down by the cops? They've got dangerous jobs, for Christ! Better to be safe (and gun down that Black man) than take a chance with their lives, I say. We know that most of these Africoon Americans have zero earning potential, so who the hell cares if the police have to blow a few of these fucking losers away when they probably would have ended up being murdered in several years anyway?

But what would you expect from a sniveling coward like Sanders? This is the asshole who went crawling to that fucking racist minstrel Sharpton! What an embarrassment.

Liberal Regressive Buffoons Can't Stop Bashing Donald Trump (And They Refuse To Point Out How Awesome Gary Johnson Is)

Leftist Jew buffoon Carl Bernstein recently referred to Donald Trump as a "Neo Fascist". Yeah. I just wish that these partisan media hacks would show at least a semblance of consistency. Like, I don't know, maybe also pointing out that Senator Sheldon Whitehouse apparently wants to prosecute global warming skeptics, that a large percentage of public colleges and universities are essentially outlawing freedom of speech, that conservative speakers are routinely shouted down at numerous campuses throughout the country.

That Senator Sanders (another Jew) has literally zero regard for the non-aggression principle and wants to hold a gun to our head and confiscate private property. Frankly it sickens me that so many of these Leftist fascists want to fuck rich Makers up the ass (figuratively) so they can give away more free stuff!

OUTRAGEOUS! Also outrageous? President Obama has used executive orders to make and change laws and to do so in a blatantly political way. And, for the record, it was wrong when Bush did it too. Clearly the Liberal media has no concept of fair. But would that be too much to ask? I mean, why the hell aren't they pointing out how awesome Gary Johnson is? Because they're either Liberal buffoons or Neo-Cons (emphasis on the "con").

However, truth be told, Fox (even though it gives Neo-Cons a platform) is not as bad as MSNBC. Sure, they're both biased, no question about it. But over the past several years, Fox has added Ed Henry, John Roberts, Howie Kurtz, and Maria Bartiromo (hell, they've even added Dennis Kucinich and the ragin' Cajun, James Carville).

Compare that to MSNBC which has done little more than plop additional leftist guttersnipes to its already full-to-the-brim posse of skin-crawlers/stooges. It isn't even a contest at this point, folks. MSNBC is significantly worse.

And MSNBC practically bashes Trump 24-7. That's when they're not airing "Lock Up" reruns. Pathetic. How about some air time for the awesome Gary Johnson, for Christ? This is the man who should be our next president, IMO. Not Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton! But the American electorate is as stupid as a Dunkin Donuts employee who apparently has an inability to process the phrase, "lightly toasted" (yeah, one of those motherfuckers messed up my order). I suppose that Bernie wants to pay these folks $15 an hour, too!

On That Asshole Bernie Sanders Continually Advocating For A Living Wage

How dare he! In regards to Bernie Sanders wanting to increase the wages for the hapless $9 an hour auto detailer who irresponsibly had kids that he couldn't provide for and who seemingly doesn't have a desire to improve his human capital, skill set, etc? Fuck both Sanders and the auto detailer!

BTW, what exactly is Bernie Sanders going to do for this fellow when we raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour and the hapless auto-detailer is likely priced out of the market? Add yet another federal entitlement program to the 126 that currently exist? And to which he is probably already eligible for? Hold a gun to his head and make him get additional training?

I mean, I know that the Left constantly thinks that it can fix things and all, but this hapless dude absolutely deserves zero compassion. People who refuse to take personal responsibility deserve to be taken advantage of by our wealthy overlords. Yes, wages are a very small percentage of the final cost of goods, so they could be increased for everyone across the board and it wouldn't add much to the Industrialists' bottom line.

But I object to paying people fairly when it would impact the plutocrat's obscene profits. Even if just a little. Perhaps their profits would go from obscene to just healthy. Question is, is this acceptable? I say NO WAY! This is an idea the Left can stuff, IMO. And wouldn't it be nice if these folks occasionally came up with something original (a la Charles Murray's negative income tax proposal, John Breaux's premium support plan, etc)? Just to change things up, I'm saying. Even if a negative income tax is totally Communist (and it is).

P.S. And anybody who tells you that they can't improve their human capital is bonkers. I just got a course-listing in the mail from my local community college and these folks offer certificate programs for Certified Nurse's Aide, Hospital Patient Care Technician, Emergency Medical Technician, Pharmacy Technician, Security Officer, Real Estate Principles and Practices, Principles of Lean Manufacturing, Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Powerpoint, etc.), Therapeutic Recreation, and Bookkeeping and Quickbooks. And this is just one venue, folks. Multiply it by X.

All these low wage workers should get skilled up and get new higher paying jobs. Then auto detailing can be done by black youths for super low wages.
