Keeping your perspective...


 HEAVEN AND HELL
 

While walking down the street one day a Corrupt Senator was tragically hit by a car and died.
His soul arrives in heaven and is met by St. Peter at the entrance.
"Welcome to heaven," says St. Peter. "Before you settle in, it seems there is a problem. We
seldom see a high official around these parts, you see, so we're not sure what
to do with you."
 
"No problem, just let me in," says the Senator.

"Well, I'd like to, but I have orders from the higher ups. What we'll do is have you spend one day in hell and one in heaven. Then you can
choose where to spend eternity."
 
"Really?, I've made up my mind. I want to be in heaven," says the Senator.
 
"I'm sorry, but we have our rules."
 
And with that, St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down, down to hell.  The doors open and he finds himself in the
middle of a green golf course. In the distance is a clubhouse and standing in front of it are all his friends and other politicians who had worked with him.  Everyone is very happy and in evening dress. They run to greet him,  shake his hand, and reminisce about the good times they had while getting rich at the expense of the people. They played a friendly game of golf and then dine on lobster, caviar and the finest champagne.
Also present is the devil, who really is a very friendly guy who is having a good time dancing and telling jokes.  They are all having such a good time that before the Senator realizes it, it is time to go. 

Everyone gives him a hearty farewell and waves while the elevator rises.
 
The elevator goes up, up, up and the door reopens in heaven where St. Peter is waiting for him, "Now it's time to visit heaven...”
 
So, 24 hours passed with the Senator joining a group of contented souls moving from cloud to cloud, playing the harp and singing. They have a good time and, before he realizes it, the 24 hours have gone by and St. Peter returns.  "Well, then, you've spent a day in hell  and another in heaven. Now choose your eternity."
 
The Senator reflects for a minute, then he answers: "Well, I would never have said it before, I mean heaven has been delightful, but I think I would be better off in hell."
 
So St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down, down to hell...
 
Now the doors of the elevator open and he's in the middle of a barren land covered with waste and garbage. He sees all his friends,
 dressed in rags, picking up the trash and putting it in black bags as more trash falls from above The devil comes over to him and puts his arm around his shoulders.  "I don't understand," stammers the Senator. "Yesterday I was here and there was a golf course and clubhouse, and we ate lobster and caviar, drank champagne, and danced and had a great time. Now there's just a wasteland full of garbage and my friends look miserable. What happened?"
 
The devil smiles at him and says, "Yesterday we were campaigning, Today, you voted.." 
We are now where The Founders were when they faced despotism.

According to NCN News, (AM radio station), Republicans "seized" control of Congress last night.

Seized.

No a-hole, they were given control.

I'm having a day so ...... I give the hell up.

Yup. And if it was Democrats, they'd be saying, "Voters overwhelmingly entrusted Democrats with moving the country in the right direction" or some such blather.

As I stated elsewhere, I awoke this morning to Yahoo News claiming that the REAL big winner of last night's GOP massacre was Hillary Clinton.

I am not hopeful that the GOP will do any good in the next two years. But watching the media trip over itself trying to rewrite the narrative as it unfolds is infuriating. It almost makes me want to root for the GOP.

The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."

And Yes, tomorrow  I will link over to the Ann Barnhardt rant that is sure to be posted along those lines, because she is going to say it way better than I can.


and now as promised, the Barnhardt rant

Yah, thanks for that link, Weisshaupt.  One good thing is a certainty with Ann, she always is who she is.

Look, things went south in my county, so I'm pissed about that, and I'm almost 100% certain the Republican majority is fixing to screw us -- again -- "to show they can govern"; to "make government more efficient"  (I've actually heard those words), so the only small modicum of joy I'm getting is schadenfreude:  Dirty Harry is out of the Big Boy Seat, regardless of the crap alternative of McConnell's probable ascension.  For me, it's come to this, happiness from the small blow of a karmic boomerang.

Pubbies see governing as being the better manager of the status quo, while that may not overtly move us more to bigger government per se it does have the effect of cementing progressive gains. Example A - ObolaCare, anybody see that being repealed?  Just like Pubbies let the heart of the New Deal to survive and LBJ's Great Society welfare expansion to march on, so will government meddling in healthcare continue.  And they get pissy when we ask them how this essentially differentiates them from the Democrats in practical effect?!  They as a whole and in parts are cowards, expecting anything different from them makes you the fool.

Link to "The Harry Reid Song" from this morning's Glenn Beck Show. It was funnier live but it's still good on replay.

“Harry Reid has lost his job! It’s because he is an evil slob. Harry Reid has lost his job. He’s the world’s most evil slob!”
In a doomsday scenario, hippies will be among the first casualties. So not everything about doomsday will be bad.

Let's see how well this goes over with the stale old GOP leadership that hates anything and everything that smacks of the Tea Party, authentic conservatism, principled confrontation of enemies, common sense...

Senators Cory Gardner (R-Colo.), David Perdue (R-Ga.), Joni Ernst (R-Iowa), Thom Tillis (R-N.C.), Tom Cotton (R-Ark.), James Lankford (R-Okla.), Steve Daines (R-Mont.), Mike Rounds (R-S.D.), Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.), and Ben Sasse (R-Neb.) all ran on a platform of repealing Obamacare.

Good luck with that!  Unless you are prepared to overthrow Team McConnell and Team Boehner, you have ZERO chance of even getting a bill voted on...

I can hear the chicksh*ts allready clucking and scampering about in a panic!  "We cannot do this!  It will be vetoed anyway?!  Why do these people not understand we have to work with Obama?  Why can't they be reasonable and play along and get along!  Why must the rock they boat?"

Oh, gosh, I dunno, where to start? 

1) It is an unconstitutional law, no matter what the Dread Traitor Roberts said, penalty/tax, pah, mere semantics, Constitution be damned, eh?

2) It was passed illegally in the dead on night in violation of congressional rules.

3) It punishes people for not contracting a service the government orders it to contract, if that is not cause for repeal then it will become cause for open rebellion and bloodshed.

4) It punishes those with means and benefits those who are professional parasites that prey upon others.

5) It sets people against each other.

6) Fighting it is right on principles.

7) Fighting it is right on justice.

8) Fighting it is what the American people demand.

9) Not fighting it makes you an enemy of the Constitution, Our Founding and the people.

But hey, it just isn't the pragmatic political thing to do in the 21st century, so...they'll go ahead and risk rebellion and bloodshed.

Fine with me.

I am in shock ---- last night on "the five" good old 'Bob-the token liberal' made the only statement I have ever agreed with --- "Instead old the old guy [McConnell] as Majority leader of the Senate, they should vote for Sen.Ted Cruz,,,". 

IMO --- At least Cruz has the guts to try something new, and the b*lls to stand up and fight for the people, while following the Constitution......

One must be in compliance with the Constitution to be one with the Constitution...

But no matter, as I said before, a non-E-GOP candidate has zero chance of getting the GOP nomination.

In other post-election news...y'all seen/heard this I reckon -

Yeah, uhh huh, I am supposed to equate chatter with...what?  The crazy notion that suddenly the press will flip to our side and start covering us fairly and prog's unfairly?  Yeah, heh, now that is funny!

Sometimes monkey's just throw sh*t at themselves, ya know?

ED DRISCOLL: The Rise Of The John Birch Left.

    The modern left is built around a trio of laudable principles: protecting the environment is good, racism is bad, and so is demonizing a person over his or her sexual preferences. (In the chapter of his book Intellectuals titled “The Flight from Reason,” Paul Johnson wrote that “At the end of the Second World War, there was a significant change in the predominant aim of secular intellectuals, a shift of emphasis from utopianism to hedonism.” ) But just as the Bircher right began to see communists everywhere, the new Bircher left sees racism, sexism, homophobia, and Koch Brothers everywhere.

    They’re lurking around more corners than Gen. Ripper imagined there were commies lurking inside Burpelson Air Force Base. They’re inside your video games! They own NFL teams! They’ll steal your condoms! Disagree with President Obama? Racist! (That goes for you too, Bill, Hillary, and your Democratic supporters.) Not onboard for gender-neutral bathrooms? Not too thrilled with abortion-obsessed candidates like Wendy Davis and “Mark Uterus”? Sexist! Disagree with using global warming as a cudgel to usher in the brave new world of bankrupt coal companies and $10 a gallon gasoline? Climate denier!

    And as with the original Birchers, don’t get ‘em started on fluoride.

    The original Birchers weren’t bad people, but their Cold War paranoia got the better of them. Similarly, as Charles Krauthammer famously said, “To understand the workings of American politics, you have to understand this fundamental law: Conservatives think liberals are stupid. Liberals think conservatives are evil,” which illustrates how a John Birch-style worldview can cause the modern leftists to take an equally cracked view of his fellow countrymen, to the point of writing off entire states and genders.


I think a growing number of conservatives are beginning to realize that Dems are both stupid AND evil.  40% of Dems would give Obama a 3rd term if they could
Because they ENJOY  watching their ideological enemies suffer. They like watching Obama stick it to us, and they are willing to sacrifice government legitimacy, the rule of law, economic prosperity  and risk Civil war to do it. That is not just stupid. Its also Evil.

Yes.  Krauthammer's observation may have been true in the world of conventional American politics, but we're in the new phase now.  The liberals have let their mask slip enough times, especially over the past 10 years, that I've seen enough of their ambitions to realize they're from the same mold as the Bolsheviks in 1917 Russia, the Che Guevara execution squads of late 1950s Cuba, and the Khmer Rouge of 1970s Cambodia. The feeling of "they're evil" is mutual.

And of all this talk about the John Birch Society and Sen. McCarthy, well, how wrong were they really?  It seems to me that McCarthy was actually pretty on the money with his assessment of Cultural Marxism and its preponderance in media, academia, and bureaucracy.

When the soviet Union fell  and their archives were opened to us, it proved McCarthy was right and that most of the people he named were in fact on the Soviet Payroll.  Not that facts matter or anything.

Yes, and since Prog's are real big on beating the living sh*t out of the current generation for the sins of their ancestors...turnabout demands they all be hunted down and slaughtered.

It's OK, it'll happen sooner rather than later, they are ensuring it by increasing the hate against everyone not like them.

Just make sure I don't miss the dance!

I heard Mr Ed conceded VA to that feeble old Warner, so that stays in libiot hands...bet that idiot cacks before the next 6 years are up though...he is of the type that wants to be carried out feet first....

So...

Of those 29 who voted for ObolaCare that got their asses booted...we could raise that to 30, right?  I mean Begich took over from Murkowski, who voted for that illegal crap, so seeing no difference between this idiot and that idiot...

I like that tally Rush had, 3 dead (Inouye, Lautenberg, "Sheets" Byrd), 5-6 retiring so as to avoid disgrace, the rest of the ObolaCare voters beaten like baby seals...

 :D

I never get tired of hearing that...especailly the cacked ones...
