A gun shop in western North Carolina is facing backlash
for using a billboard to insult "the Squad," four progressive minority
congresswomen, as "idiots," calling them the "four horsemen" of the
apocalypse.

Barack Obama is a communist. That's a low schoolyard insult, even
though it's true, but it doesn't matter. You see, Mitt Romney is also a
commie. No, this isn't yet another Mitt Romney rant. All of our political establishment are commies, and have been for a long time. Buckle up, because this is an uberpost.
I often hear the expression "we're not going to vote ourselves out of this." The older I get it seems, the longer the pelt of my Wookie Suit becomes, and so I can sympathize with people who think we've lost something, something that we won't be getting back easily.
Some ideas which had been stewing in my subconscious since August (!) coalesced when I read a post by Kevin Baker, quoting a John Ringo novel:
When Donald Trump took office and took aim at the North American Free
Trade Agreement (NAFTA) as promised on the campaign trail, critics –
with good reason – sounded alarm at his in-your-face approach. It’s not,
they said, how you deal with neighbors.
“I would like to say to Milton and Anna [co-author of A Monetary History of the United States, 1867–1960]: Regarding the Great Depression. You’re right, we did it. We’re very sorry. But thanks to you, we won’t do it again."--Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke, acknowledging the central bank’s role in causing the Great Depression
Milton Friedman is the Godfather of American conservative libertarianism.
He was, at a time when it was deeply unfashionable in official circles,
a fierce critic of Keynesian economics. He was a leader of the second
generation of libertarian economists to come out of the University of Chicago. Among the people recruited or mentored by him at the university include Thomas Sowell, Gary Becker, Robert Fogel and Robert Lucas, Jr. Friedman often used the jargon and methodology of Keynesians while rejecting their basic premises, coming to very different conclusions than his Keynesian counterparts.
