Just smile, ignore if you have to and come on out and vote again in 2018 and 2020.Vote against Rino's when you can vote for a Conservative instead. (Just a suggestion)
Cngratulations, Kid you have a great knack for getting right to the Heart of the Matter with few words and a boatload of indisputable facts.
ReplyDeleteI hope you don't mind if I lift your editorial today, and post it among the comments at MY blog? It supports my enthusiastic evaluation of President Trump. I try also today to give reasons why the Establishment has set itself so virulently against him.
Naturally, I'll give you full credit for your encouraging report.
Meawhile, keep up the good work.
FT, Thanks Much. I do like to bottom line it.
DeleteFT...man that was an elegant, noble, gentlemanly way of expressing your admiration and sincerity to Kid. That's something I'll keep in mind too Sir. I salute you.
DeleteAw shucks, Imp. You've made me blush!
DeleteFT, Forgot to say earlier that you are welcome to anything I post.
DeleteMany reasons to rejoice in the midst of this never-ending onslaught from the Left and the Enemedia!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kid.
AOW, I felt the same way when I read this so passed it along.
DeleteMost important case in decades
ReplyDeleteGets to the heart of the matter.
Has this Republican presence been achieved by manipulation?
It clearly has but now we see if that's legal.
Duck,
DeleteBoth sides have played that game for decades and will probably continue to play it. Maybe we should go to an equal number of representatives for each state and have the whole state vote. That would end the re-redistricting to favor a particular party.
No matter what the democrats say they conducted a disgusting nomination process in order to make -H- their candidate. They conspired against Bernie and lost. No ones fault but their own and someday they may wake up and figure they have nothing to offer the working taxpayer.
Their star BHO saw a large increase in two areas of the US. The number of Millionaires and Billionaires had a sizable increase and so did the number of poor. Do the Democrats have any message other than the government will provide if you don't want to.
BTW, the most important case in history was the end of the Democrat sponsored Jim Crowe law.
Skudrunner,
DeleteMaybe we should go to an equal number of representatives for each state and have the whole state vote
Disagree. Doing so would be an end run around the Constitutional purpose of the House of Representatives.
Besides, we should respect Great Compromise (aka the Connecticut Compromise):
Two plans were put forth during the Constitutional Convention to create the new branches of government. The Virginia Plan wanted a strong national government with three branches. The legislature would have two houses. One would be directly elected by the people and the second would selected by the first house from people nominated by the state legislatures.
Further, the president and national judiciary would be chosen by the national legislature. On the other hand, the New Jersey Plan wanted a more decentralized plan amending the old Articles yet allowing for a somewhat stronger government. Each state would have one vote in Congress.
The Great Compromise combined these two plans creating our current legislature with two houses, one based on population and elected by the people and the other house allowing two senators per state being appointed by state legislatures.
Our Founders specifically created a House of Representatives with members having only two-year terms so as to remain close to the concept of "by the people, of the people, for the people." The upper House -- the Senate -- is supposed to be the wiser entity.
Redistricting is the down side of a representative government afflicted by two political parties.
With two powerful political parties, the very concept of public servants has eroded -- greatly eroded.
Skudrunner, I think the behind the scenes action would shock most of us. My personal clue is the amount of power and money available. Not to be dismissed easily. Difficult to pin the tail on the 'in charge' donkey these days. DNC? Media? I think it could easily be more like CIA, but certainly someone/group more powerful than dnc/media. My pick is CIA.
DeleteDuck...want to know how that bag of crap Maxine Waters, Cummings, Lee, Jordan, Pelousy and more get to keep their seats?
DeleteYup...precisely... lining up all black areas that on a map would look like the map maker was on quaaludes or LSD. Furthermore guaranteeing that year after year they do nothing for their constituents except for voting time when they promise to continue the game of 'gimmeemorefreeshit' to keep misinformed, stupid and happy. The only blacks in those districts that do well....are the ones I named and those like them.
FYI: The manipulatiin of voting districts which seems to upset or fowl friend and his ilk so much –– but only when it works to their DISADVATAGE –– is called GERRYMANDERING. It's pronounced as JERRYmanderng, but the person responsible for it came along very early in our history. His name was Elbridge Gerry, and his NAME is properly pronouned with a hard-G as Gladness, Glue, Gumshoe, or Goosegirl, etc.
DeleteA Biography of Elbridge Gerry 1744-1814
From a short biography easily found on Google: http://www.let.rug.nl/usa/biographies/elbridge-gerry/
Elbridge Gerry was born in 1744 at Marblehead, MA, the third of 12 children. His mother was the daughter of a Boston merchant; his father, a wealthy and politically active merchant-shipper who had once been a sea captain. Upon graduating from Harvard in 1762, Gerry joined his father and two brothers in the family business, exporting dried codfish to Barbados and Spain. He entered the colonial legislature (1772-74) ...
Look it up. It's well worth reading, and it will prove conclusively that there is nothing either NEW or particularly ONE-SIDED about the process of manipulating the shape of voting districts to gain political advantage.
It's what VICTORS do after they've won an election in order to increase and solidify their gains. They've been doing it since Time Immemorial.
So KWITCHABITCHIN, just wait your turn, and sooner or later YOU will be able to do it TOO. Won't that be nice?
IMP, the fact that there is a homogeneous district in California that elected Waters is not indicative of gerrymandering. The fact that minorities have elective power, as limited as it is, is not a bad thing.
DeleteIf you want vert examples of gerrymandering look at Louis Gohmert's district or the North Carolina 12th and you may agree that it has gone to such a ludicrous extreme that it damages our political system.
Homogeneous? Yea...all parasites and on the dole regardless of color. I can see that. As usual, one more example that Diversity is total Bullshit then and more so now. Cause they all want to be among their own...lest not having to fear or be threatened by anyone doing better and rising above the filth and degeneracy...only to be labeled as a supremacist, racist or of "culture" appropriation?
DeleteYea...I want all my heroes and martyrs of criminal justice to be thugs, career criminals and small time POS DRUG DEALERS. Who died in shootouts with cops when they side aimed their Glocks at them?
Hey! It looks as if Handel has won in Georgia.
ReplyDeleteYes, I'm smiling.
AOW. Oooooh yeaaaa. Dems spent Lots of money on that empty suit too.
DeleteYou might need to amend your facts but in a GOOD way. Georgia and South Carolina are new and fabulous factoids for your list. Love it.
ReplyDeleteCube, Did those go from D to R or just stay at R ?
DeleteI think they both stayed R, but I might be wrong. Either way, we won. Imagine the uproar if we lost one... the end of the world as we know it... Trump is slayed...he'll never recover this loss. Oh, the humanity. Ah, thank goodness we don't have to hear about that.
DeleteKid...my math says that there's 518 counties still in shackles and dem slavery. It's time to free those poor downtrodden remnants of a long gone...DemCrat JimCrow. But...like all battles we'll have to settle for a few losses too...and leave them some secure places to hide in. So...places in California, Jersey, Michigan, Chi-congo, Philly, Baltimore and other pockets of resistance. Which may amount to around 10 counties. We'll ned to blockade some of the roads in and out as well as tunnels and bridges. They're wiley sneaky bastards ya know and they'll no doubt go guerrilla and underground. They might have a real need to recall some of their heroes back into action again... Wesley Clark, McPain and yes...JFK himself .John Kerry that is who has seen action and has 3 Purple Hearts to prove it. Are we ready?
ReplyDeleteIMP, It's an impossible situation. It's been generational in the making and it will be generational in he undoing if ever. Stop paying the chicks to have kids beyond kid # 1 if that. Fix the schools, put cops in every classroom and bring discipline back. Some punk gets too out of like, off to permanent detention. Take em all there the first day to show em what happens when they go there. Ala scared straight.
DeletePut the dumbasses in trade programs. Able-bodied don't get welfare. Ah hell, why am I even typing. That shit will never happen. Personally I think many of them simply don't have the genes for it. Quick, name a successful African country.
Mandatory STERILIZATION for all nubile females on the Dole –– after the first bastard baby. That's not "hateful," it's SENSIBLE.
DeleteAn OUNCE of PREVENTION is worth a TON of CURE.
The policy would help purify the Gene Pool too.
FT, I certainly like the idea. These are child abusers. There must be a consequence.
DeleteLittle doubt this is a center right nation. However dems would never, never admit this or even see it. As for me, I fall somewhere to the right of Genghis Khan.
ReplyDeleteRon, I don't know about jenjisss Kahn as j. kerry says it, but my fantasy dictatorship would shock a lot of people. I'd cut 80% of federal departments and agencies. No state would get federal money unless they have people dying on the street. They must make it on their own. Anyone here illegally is deported. Poorly performing schools aren't rewarded with money they are shut down.
DeleteCountries that don't show substantive support for America don't get shit from us. Anyone threatening to nuke gets a take down team assigned led by James Mattis, and clones of James Mattis and Chesty Puller.
Man, we're so far in the toilet I could type for days.
Kid,
DeleteMan, we're so far in the toilet I could type for days.
You'd have perennial blog posts!
AOW, Yea, I have to mix it up though for my sanity.
DeleteKid,
DeleteI hear ya.
I've been enjoying today. Ain't it something to watch the Dems now say that the election result yesterday don't matter. Blah, blah, blah. But yesterday morning -- and for many days before -- they were saying the complete opposite.
Enjoy this related video.
Thanks AOW. Enjoyed it.
DeleteYou'll enjoy this.
BWAHAHAHAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarg
Kid,
DeletePlanned Parenthood spent $734,000 -- and lost?
That's rich!
AOW, Very Rich ! heheh. This is one time I think we can accurately say the dems are Reeling.
