Goodies from Ol' Remus

The absurd idea that compromise was ever going to work was absurd. The left doesn't compromise, instead it uses each compromise as proof of insincerity. The only way to beat the left is to never compromise with the left. Once you try to find common ground, then you've given up the fight in a fight that never ends.

"Our form of compulsory schooling is an invention of the state of Massachusetts around 1850.  It was resisted—sometimes with guns—by an estimated eighty percent of the Massachusetts population, the last outpost in Barnstable on Cape Cod not surrendering its children until 1880's when the area was seized by militia and children marched to school under guard."   From that point forward, literacy rates dropped in the state, and have not since recovered.

 Paper money eventually returns to its intrinsic value—zero.

 In case Race is the next god to fail, there is Climate waiting in the wings. Like "scientific socialism", its dogma is in fact anti-scientific, since when its predictions are shown false, it simply shifts the goalposts, so that it can never be falsified (in the scientific meaning of that term). Hence, falsified "man-made global warming" becomes "climate change". The Left really cannot beat a doctrine in which breathing is taxable and must be controlled by the state.

In issue No. 9 of al Qaeda's English language Inspire magazine, there's a section called Open Source Jihad. In it, the author uses pictures and diagrams to show readers how to start forest fires in America using what he calls "ember bombs" ... They talk about the correct wind patterns to set a forest fire in. The right season, the right time of year, the correct temperature—all designed to cause the maximum amount of carnage and death.

I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave.
H.L. Mencken, 1927 via Mike Vanderboegh at sipseystreetirregulars.blogspot.com

Our opponents, it is becoming clearer, wish us dead, or at least silenced. They cloak that essential truth with a bodyguard of lies. They believe, truly believe, that if they win the political argument in a rigged game in which both political parties participate that that will be the end of it—they will have won and we will have lost. They do not respect us because we do not respect ourselves.

Every sane person had better hope and pray against violence. This goes for you, Mike, and everyone like you. I understand your efforts and I know why you prepare. This thing could blow-out at any seam, at any moment, and it is only prudent to be ready if that happens. I, for one, would have far, far greater esteem for anyone ready—like me—to present themselves for imprisonment in order to demonstrate to the whole world just what this regime appears to be ready to destroy... the final and terrible resort to violence would yet be available.

Upstate NY State Alderman to Second Amendment advocate - The only spit here is the white stuff frothing on the ends of that rotten little mouth of yours from which you spew this hateful ignorant trash... By all means, come on down, we'll be happy to beat you barbarians back with the clubs of reason & responsibility, radical lunatics that you are... Next time you think these unhinged rants will change the mind of anyone who has even a modicum of intelligence, you might instead just go back down into your basement & watch another episode of wheel-of-fortune.

There is a crash about to happen yet no one understands the noise nor will hear it. The United States of America is about to pay a $150+ trillion bill for decades of arrogance, waste, and spending on foolishness which will result in the collapse of Imperium yet the citizens as usual will never know it until the barbarians are inside the gates. The crash is not financial or economic. Sadly, it is the worst crash of them all: Our system of government.
