Black Americans: Left is brainwashing you about past #tcot

Black Americans: Left is brainwashing you about past.

political-correctness-voltaireOk.  I’m of hispanic heritage, not black.  But I’ve still got plenty of firsthand experience with racism.  Everything from police scrutiny to my mother-in-law being asked if she was OK with her daughter marrying “one of them” to being physically spat upon and much more that I don’t have time to write here.  That is the perspective from which I say this:

Ben is right.

Yes, there are exceptions.  However they Continue reading

U.S. Law Enforcement Seeks to Halt Apple-Google Encryption #tcot #tech

U.S. Law Enforcement Seeks to Halt Apple-Google Encryption of Mobile Data – Bloomberg.

Sorry, but the DoJ is paying the price for their abuse of due process.  Apple and Google are simply responding to the will of the people to do what’s right; better than the executive branch in this case.  I’d be very surprised if they could get the legislation they want introduced, much less passed in this political climate.  This is what happens when you betray the public trust.

Oh, one more thought… there is not a balancing act, here.  The Constitution is pretty clear about due process and the need for a warrant.  You want to search someone’s phone?  Fine, show cause and get a warrant.  If the suspect refuses to comply, then you have the ability to jail them.  It may not be convenient, but liberty is not a convenient philosophy.

Fox News Nabs Historic Cable Ratings Victory – #tcot

Liberal newspapers in freefall.  Fox News overwhelmingly dominant.  

Fox News Nabs Historic Cable Ratings Victory – Hollywood Reporter.

I’ve reached the conclusion that the media really does know that America is very right of center.  It’s hard to believe these people are truly that unbelievably stupid.  I think their main objective is to keep the American public from realizing how far to the right they really are.

Progressivism is a worldview.  Essentially a religion.  Their commitment to is transcends the financial.  They will stick with it even as the ship sinks.  Their belief in the Progressive religion is more important than money and in many cases their lives.  As they go down, the see themselves as martyrs for the cause.

We need to understand this if we are to fight and destroy them effectively.

A Pair of 2nd Amendment Victories #tcot #2A

handbill-gunfree-armedWell what a contrast between two states.  Shaneen Allen won’t be going to prison for crossing into New Jersey and an 11 year old girl show some real gun sense in Oklahoma.

In this first case, I’m sorry, but the idea that this is going to be presented as Continue reading

DOD planning to let illegal immigrants enlist #tcot

This is bad enough on its face:

DOD planning to let illegal immigrants enlist | Fox News.

But consider that this is coming after purging the military of soldiers and officers for whom their oath really means something.  Is this a case of packing the military with people who’s only loyalty is to the hand that feeds them?

Remember too, that this is happening after it is being reported elsewhere that the army is getting even pickier about who they are allowing in.  How are they going to address this policy?

Holder resigning as attorney general | Fox News #tcot

This may sound like good news…

Holder resigning as attorney general, official says | Fox News.

But.

Do not trust it.  This guy is not going away anytime soon.  If he is stepping down here, it’s because Obama is wanting him somewhere else.  I wouldn’t be surprised if Ginsberg announced her retirement just after the fall election and an attempt to get Holder into SCOTUS before the lame duck is over.

Media’s anti-war contingent challenges Obama #tcot

Well, this is actually a surprise.  I wonder when they’ll be shut up?

Media’s anti-war contingent challenges Obama, downplaying ISIS threat | Fox News.

Here’s the deal, though.  With Obama you have to follow the Progressive agenda.  So what’s the benefit for the agenda?  That is what drives him.  In this case, it’s probably the only chance there is of holding onto the Senate.  If he loses the Senate, not only does Obama get shut down, but there is a real chance of his policies being pushed back.  This is also his best chance of keeping a Rand Paul or Ted Cruz from winning the White House in 2016.  Even if it doesn’t go to a Democrat, it takes away an issue that could be used against left leaning Republicans.

Political Correctness in Retreat #tcot

In another venue, there has been some discussion on political correctness.  In the course of political-correctness-voltairediscussion, the inevitable question about the “why” the PC Nazi’s get away with it.

It’s simple.  People are willing to bow to political correctness pressure.  Now more.  No less.  As long as that willingness continues, so will the crap.  When people stand up to the PC bullies, we see them for the cowardly cockroaches that they are. Continue reading

Christians, here’s solution to ‘gays’ suing your businesses #tcot

Now this is simply one of the most brilliant ideas I’ve seen in a long time.

Christians, here’s solution to ‘gays’ suing your businesses.

This really doesn’t apply to just the LGBT issue, but to any segment of the culture war where Progressive groups are trying to force people to violate their moral consciences.

The one thing he neglects to note is that you do have to be public what you are doing.
