There is not just pro government and anti government there is a whole spectrum in between and like a lot of things the best place is in the middle not on the edges. I mean I don't think a privately funded military, police, fire, or transportation department is a good idea but I also don't think the government should run Wal-Mart. I really wish we wouldn't be so black and white on this because it destroys all possibility of debate to try and actually improve things.

I clearly state it is not anti government or pro government, it is the role of government. Your comment of private police had nothing to do with capitalism or socialism. I think you mean something else and are using the wrong words. Has anyone told you capitalism requires private police and private roads, because the is not true.

Jersey going to recount?


Nah, they sufficiently “fortified” the vote around 3am.

I was shooting heroin and reading “The Fountainhead” in the front seat of my privately owned police cruiser when a call came in. I put a quarter in the radio to activate it. It was the chief. “Bad news, detective. We got a situation.” “What? Is the mayor trying to ban trans fats again?” “Worse. Somebody just stole four hundred and forty-seven million dollars’ worth of bitcoins.” The heroin needle practically fell out of my arm. “What kind of monster would do something like that? Bitcoins are the ultimate currency: virtual, anonymous, stateless. They represent true economic freedom, not subject to arbitrary manipulation by any government. Do we have any leads?” “Not yet. But mark my words: we’re going to figure out who did this and we’re going to take them down … provided someone pays us a fair market rate to do so.” “Easy, chief,” I said. “Any rate the market offers is, by definition, fair.” He laughed. “That’s why you’re the best I got, Lisowski. Now you get out there and find those bitcoins.” “Don’t worry,” I said. “I’m on it.” I put a quarter in the siren. Ten minutes later, I was on the scene. It was a normal office building, strangled on all sides by public sidewalks. I hopped over them and went inside. “Home Depot™ Presents the Police!®” I said, flashing my badge and my gun and a small picture of Ron Paul. “Nobody move unless you want to!” They didn’t. “Now, which one of you punks is going to pay me to investigate this crime?” No one spoke up. “Come on,” I said. “Don’t you all understand that the protection of private property is the foundation of all personal liberty?” It didn’t seem like they did. “Seriously, guys. Without a strong economic motivator, I’m just going to stand here and not solve this case. Cash is fine, but I prefer being paid in gold bullion or autographed Penn Jillette posters.” Nothing. These people were stonewalling me. It almost seemed like they didn’t care that a fortune in computer money invented to buy drugs was missing. I figured I could wait them out. I lit several cigarettes indoors. A pregnant lady coughed, and I told her that secondhand smoke is a myth. Just then, a man in glasses made a break for it. “Subway™ Eat Fresh and Freeze, Scumbag!®” I yelled. Too late. He was already out the front door. I went after him. “Stop right there!” I yelled as I ran. He was faster than me because I always try to avoid stepping on public sidewalks. Our country needs a private-sidewalk voucher system, but, thanks to the incestuous interplay between our corrupt federal government and the public-sidewalk lobby, it will never happen. I was losing him. “Listen, I’ll pay you to stop!” I yelled. “What would you consider an appropriate price point for stopping? I’ll offer you a thirteenth of an ounce of gold and a gently worn ‘Bob Barr ‘08’ extra-large long-sleeved men’s T-shirt!” He turned. In his hand was a revolver that the Constitution said he had every right to own. He fired at me and missed. I pulled my own gun, put a quarter in it, and fired back. The bullet lodged in a U.S.P.S. mailbox less than a foot from his head. I shot the mailbox again, on purpose. “All right, all right!” the man yelled, throwing down his weapon. “I give up, cop! I confess: I took the bitcoins.” “Why’d you do it?” I asked, as I slapped a pair of Oikos™ Greek Yogurt Presents Handcuffs® on the guy. “Because I was afraid.” “Afraid?” “Afraid of an economic future free from the pernicious meddling of central bankers,” he said. “I’m a central banker.” I wanted to coldcock the guy. Years ago, a central banker killed my partner. Instead, I shook my head. “Let this be a message to all your central-banker friends out on the street,” I said. “No matter how many bitcoins you steal, you’ll never take away the dream of an open society based on the principles of personal and economic freedom.” He nodded, because he knew I was right. Then he swiped his credit card to pay me for arresting him.

I'll talk about it.  You're full of crap here.  Idiots like Joy Reid making excuses for losing in Virginia are saying “They’re dangerous to our national security, because stoking that kind of soft white nationalism eventually leads to the hardcore stuff. It leads to the January 6 stuff because if people are tolerant of it in your party, they’re tolerant of the soft racism, it’s a really short trip to get to the January 6 insurrectionists.”  

 

Joy and team left just can't get themselves to understand the problem is they are blind to their own ignorance.  They suffer from a complete lack of self-awareness.  Rather than continue to insist everyone that doesn't agree with them suffers from some major character flaw or behavioral issue the fact and truth is voters don't like the social activism crap that's being pushed down their throats by the left.  Plain and simple.  So stop it or suffer the consequences at the polls.

All we are seeing is the lather, rinse, repeat of certain people demonizing a group they choose to target.  If you took the Govs paragraph you replied to, and changed a few words around you could be reading the minutes or a Klan meeting in 1955.  Same with Joy Reid.  
 

With the election of Trump, it is was angry  disenfranchised white men.  That’s gotten stale, so now they go with “Karen’s”.   
 

There are no new ideas, just different groups to be vilified, and the same closed minded usual suspects targeting them.

Agreed. Its an ideological form letter.  Dear <your_name>: You suck.

What this tells us is that assumptions about certain demographics favoring Democrats are outdated.

 

For example, some are speculating that Youngkin won the Hispanic vote outright in Virginia last night. We are seeing a sea change on the issue of minorities voting for the GOP, not necessarily from black voters, but certainly from other sectors of the voting public.

 

I think the lesson here is two-fold. One, Republicans can demand action on illegal immigration and still do well with Hispanics. That counters the conventional wisdom of many establishment figures. On the other hand, Republicans who have reflexively assumed that a growing Hispanic population is somehow bad for the GOP are also wrong. At the end of the day, people are people and issues matter more than racial politics.

 

To wrap all this up, the results in Texas last night are just horrific news for Democrats going into next year’s election. Their entire schtick is one of identity and pushing divisions among minority groups, and they are simply doubling down on that effort. If anything close to a majority of Hispanic voters continue to reject that message, we aren’t just looking at a red wave next year but a red tsunami.

GOP Diversity Ticket Trounces Racist CRT Democrats In Virginia

 

 

“To the surprise of absolutely no one who’s been paying attention to the execrable members of the mainstream media,

their response to this momentous occasion was to say that the Republicans won because of racism.”

The GOP just made double digit gains in Virginia on the back of “cultural issues.”

Oh agreed because Dems ran a retread with no appeal and GOP ran on cultural but also economic issues of high gas prices consumer prices and supply chain stuff as well as Dem over reach.  If GOP stays on that they will compete but neither side can sustain on their own base.  GOP downplayed cultural stuff in the end... If they govern on right wing crazy agenda itll flip again... VA want good government not ideological govt... its a loser for both sides.

Dear Donald,

 

Just do in 2022 and 2024 exactly what you did in 2021.

 

Annoying enough for Ds to be distracted by you 24/7 and forget about the American people they don't care about anyway.   

 

 

Invisible enough that women continue to swing back to the GOP.

Is it? The nws says they are still harves...I mean counting write in votes. 

Looks like Murphy won by 3 or 4. If you take a look at the outstanding votes in the counties, it doesn’t look as close as some claimed last night.

Counterpoint: Democrats are literally incapable of not doubling down. Admitting they were wrong about even one part of the ideology causes the entire thing to fall apart.

 

GOP needs to hammer it all: the cultural issues AND the working class economic issues.  Rare opportunity for the GOP here; the Democrats have never had less connection with the labor class than they do now.
