[Apologies; it’s past the time for fresh sand. A correspondent sent me this one-liner seen on a t-shirt: "liberalism: moochers electing looters to steal from the producers!" Now some of our readers are of the zero-sum variety and maintain that it’s the 1% who steal from the 99%. And that keeps the country destitute, causes foreigners to spurn coming here, and gives rise to the long lines of Americans clamoring to emigrate to greener and socially more just pastures. gjr]

Todd 1228-
Didn’t know I was running for office there Todd.
An endorsement from Earth First, PETA, Tea Party, Occupy, or some other clad of zealots will always earn my scorn. It’s not a right wing vs left wing deal. It is the extremists on either side, blinded by their ideology, whom I find contemptible. It’s the same with religion. Though I am personally an atheist, I have nothing at all against church, religious freedoms, and personal beliefs. It’s the fundamentalists who make me instinctively reach for a gun or at least a big stick as I walk to the other side of the street.LikeLike

More of the wussification of college students. When I was that age, folks expected to get tear gassed or pepper sprayed if añ officer of the law told you they’d do it if you didn’t stop whatever unlawful thing you were doing. In fact the whole point was to provoke that action. No sympathy for the whining at all.
One of the Davis wussies was the child of one of my son’s favorite Cal professors… if that was my kid I’d have told them to take their lumps proudly if you believed in the cause and the efficacy of the protest.LikeLike

Gregory.. Thanks for reminding me of what “we” gave to some anti logging longhairs.
We showed up to work to find some idiots chained to our equipment. (OK,, ya’ want to play with the big dogs?) We skidded in a nice big log (not all our rigs were parked in the same aria. They missed one or two) and commenced to use chain saws to shower the “protesters” with sticky pine chips and two stroke exhaust. OH the bitching and whining. It really didn’t take long for one dirty hippy to come up with a key.
They left smelling better than when they showed up. I wonder why they didn’t come back for seconds???LikeLike

Walt, lol. Back in the day Nixon told some long haired hecklers who were hurling profanities and disputing his speech, “Here’s a four letter word for you. S-O-A-P…trying using it sometime”. Then he said work was anothet four letter word to them. Funny now, wasn’t taken that way at the time.
When I did some work for NID/PG&E on hydro, there was some folks named Sky or Starlight or Sunshine or Squatting Bear (forget some of the names) that were going to chain themselves to trees and tree squatted on a ridge above Bowman. Dummies. The trees they climbed and played house in were piss pines and they vowed to keep their vigil up all fall into the winter.
Being the diplomatic sensentive spokesperson I am, I talked to them. Went something like this. “Hey, shit for brains, those are piss pines and piss firs you are tree sitting in and have no commerical value. You dummies, nobody wants to drop those trees. But, have at it you stupid, stupid, stupid tree hugging Earth worshippers. This ridge here gets 14 foot of snow on a bad year, usually 18-24 feet on the shady side. Opps, this is the shady side. So, go ahead and spend the winter here and you better strap yourselves on tight cause the winds up here snap trees like toothpicks. Plus, I have all your license plate numbers written down where you thought you hid your cars, which, incidentally, is parked on private land and I am calling to have them towed. Have a nice winter up here. BTW, they lock the gate on this road in Novembet and reopen it in May or June, depending how deep the snow is. Have a nice walk home.”
I left, but read in some Earth First Greenie Veg Head rag that they declared victory for saving a couple of trees and will regroup and continue their tree squatting the following Spring. They saved piss fir, lol. And they left victorious. And lied to save face. They were friggin’ heros. Ignorance of the Left knows no bounds.LikeLike

Think I died awhile ago. From Charley’s War:
Sargent “Ole Bill’ Tozer- The veteran Platoon-Sgt, Ole Bill is one of the very few who makes it all the way through the war with Bourne more or less in one piece. An old pre-war Regular soldier, he was one of the BEF’s ‘Old Contemptibles’ who fought at Mons in August 1914. Burly, loud, fond of a drink and seemingly indestructable, Bill’s roaring voice and courage help Charley and his fellows out of trouble time and time again.LikeLike

Speaking of govt subsidies, does anyone know of any ‘sustainable energy’ enterprise anywhere in the world that is not sustained by govt subsidies?
I anticipate that our socialist readers will again claim that all of private business is also govt subsidized because they use taxpayer funded infrastructure and market mangling ‘protections’ enforced by the govt gun. For the purposes of my question, we may safely ignore such claims.LikeLike

Perusing the polling sites this morning, I note that ever higher percentages of Americans are ‘angry’ about how the federal govt operates. The fraction now stands at 8 out of 10. That definitely means that the local looney Leviathan loving lefties must belong to the remaining 20% dedicated to Big Bro. The humorous part is that they are so information free as to continue calling the rest of us (RR readers included) a fringe element of discontented right wingers – now that’s 8 out of 10. Now if there was ever a time when I wished them to have an accurate view of what’s going on …

As for Doc’s “taxpayer funded infrastructure”,, those with the self imposed guilt trip
and drive those electric buggies, are ripping the rest of us “taxpayers” off.
