[Here's a short piece – 'The problem with liberalism: It has no limiting principles' – by Tim Jones that closely summarizes a lot of what RR has been promoting (H/T to correspondent).  Its appearance in the American Thinker again gives lie to the local liberal loonies who continue to maintain that the sentiments and observations appearing in these pages are the rantings of lone rightwing voices found only in these foothills.  My own thesis – that these loonies don't get out very much to find out what's happening in the world – has been proven true countless number of times over the lifetime of RR.  They really should expand their sources if they want to stop coming off as being somewhere between terminally cynical and simply silly.  gjr]

    “MSNBC host Joy Reid thinks that rural Americans are โ€œthe core threat to our democracyโ€ and pointed to a series of tweets by liberal author Jared Yates Sexton that claimed Trump supporters โ€œdo not believe in the Constitution or any founding principles unless they’re advantageousโ€ as proof of her far-left theory.”

    You mean it’s all good right now?
    Or are they currently devastated and soon they will be ‘double devastated’.
    It’s really hard to keep up with the left. They are so busy running around with the goal post, it’s hard to know where it was supposed to be in the first place or where it will ever need to be in order to have that magic social justice they talk about.

    If we didn’t have a surplus then George bush must have been lying when he said

You see, the growing surplus exists because taxes are too high and Government is charging more than it needs. The people of America have been overcharged, and on their behalf, I am here asking for a refund. “

    PaulE 723am – You are joking of course, aren’t you? I’m sure we’ve had conversations wherein I distinctly remember that you understood the difference between deficit and debt. Your latest lying charge against Bush2 suggests that you don’t understand that his “growing surplus” referenced the then annual revenue rate indicating the feds would derive revenues that exceeded the adopted budget for the year. Why would anyone with a 3-digit IQ think he was talking about national debt?

    “Started out with a nearly balanced budget thanks to Clinton and Newt -even a surplus and ended with the biggest financial crisis since the depression”.
    There was a paper surplus when Bush II was inaugurated, but that disappeared six months after Bush said those words with a puff of the World Trade Center towers. A couple trillion dollars sucked out of the country, and “the biggest financial crisis since the Depression” was an implosion of the Democratic Party sacred cows, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and the bad paper they flooded the word with that took years to unravel.
    Bush Derangement Syndrome is so last decade, Paul.
