    There are always “planks” in any political thought that good men can dsagree on. I see myself as a don’t tread on me kind of guy. But, things have changed over time. There is a reason we have stop signs.
    The original liberals were ones that opposed government, did not trust government, were a de facto opposition TO government party. Today, the liberals clamour for more government at every turn and trust government. Me? I am still a believer in “I love my country but fear my government.” You can have all the great philosophies and have the best political thoughts (and beliefs) under the sun, yet without security the whole ball of wax is a mute point.
    I hear this phrase a lot : “I am a conservative, not a Republican.” I know what they are saying. Exactly. Ideology is fine and imperative, but I leave room for pragmatism.
    I believe in minority rights, the minority of one. Guess that makes me a dinosaur as the word ‘individual’ is now a dirty word. Ah heck, Don’t Tread on Me flags are now considered offensive, triggering, hateful, racist, privileged, White Supremacist, White Nationalist, and a bunch more words I cannot spell. Oh well, go pound sound and grow a pair. I won’t loose any sleep over it.
    From the link provided at 6:39 pm, liberalism today in 2017:
    We expect a new generation to have new ideas and new ways of approaching the world. So how do we explain when a new generation is steeped in bullying, complaining about hurt feelings, demanding “safe spaces,” and using pride in fragile egos and weakened emotional states as the excuse to condemn free speech?

    Putting aside the “I haven’t found the right woman yet ” romantic life of Punchy, there are many points of agreement that I have with real Libertarians, not the Libertarians in name only. In fact, I agree with more of the Liberatian creedo than I do with liberals and Progressives ….by miles and miles and miles
    Vladimir Lenin said, “When there is State, there can be no freedom, but where there is freedom there can be no state.” Libertarians and I would agree that the bigger the state, the less the freedom and the more the freedoms, the less the state…to take a quote and twist it to fit my narrative. . Oh, that Lenin said a lot of things like
    “The goal of Socialism is Communism”, “It is true that liberty is precious; so precious it must be carefully rationed.”
    Perhaps another huge current difference between moi and the fakenews popinjays on the Left is this gem from Vladimir Lenin:
    “The press should not only be a collective propagandist and collective agitator, but also a collective organizer of the masses.”

    Best no put down that 13 year old bride. She is one heck of a woman. You don’t know who you are talking about. 😉 Well written article from the filly’s mouth.
    “In my little mind, I couldn’t believe that they could not see that I was a grown woman. I was only 13, but people said I was more mature than Jerry. I was serious-minded, I was like, “We gotta take care of this and do this,” and he was like, “Where’s the piano?” That’s what he is, that’s what he’s about. And I really, truly wasn’t a typical teenager. My generation was taught to hide under our desk when the bomb came, so you always had in the back of your mind that any minute, any day, life could come to an end. What I wanted was a baby in my arms, a home, a husband, a kitchen to cook in, a yard to raise roses. My little brother was born because I begged my parents for a baby at ten years old. They called me his deputy mom; I just took him over. That was what I was like, and Jerry was busy having fun, he was the true entertainer.
    “Elvis didn’t marry a little 16-year-old girl, did he? Priscilla lived with his grandmother for, what, seven or eight years?
    It was something that marked Jerry for life. We kept thinking every year, every six months, that it was going to go away, they’re going to stop talking about it, and it just didn’t happen. But it brought me and Jerry very close, and we had ten incredible, wonderful years together after that. We were like a little camp that had been attacked by the enemy, and we held strong to each other and said, regardless of what they do, we’re going to keep fighting. Jerry’s fame and money went down to almost nothing, it was very turbulent for ten years, but it was the happiest years of our marriage.”

    At one point, being bothered by Chris Bishop quoting Carl Sagan (aka Butt head astronomer) that 98% of the American people were scientifically illiterate, Jeff wrote

    “My dad was a scientist. He encouraged me to take science and math classes at Cal — and I did. Our son is a STEM student, thanks to my encouragement. So I have a good respect for science. One of the problems, however, is the science people lording “science” over the rest of us. I have my opinions on these issues, but I don’t find it constructive to call others “illiterate.”

    Oh, my! I think Sagan was reasonably accurate with his estimate.
    Checking the obit Jeff wrote for his father, in truth, dear old dad had a Bachelor’s in Naval Technology and a Masters in Geology… and worked not as a scientist but as an oil prospector for Exxon, rising through the ranks of management. Nothing wrong with that, but in today’s anti-petroleum politics, probably not as self-burnishing as calling him a “scientist” and moving along to patting yourself on the back for raising a “STEM student, thanks to [Jeff’s] encouragement”.
    I can always get Jeff to take the bait by mentioning that Engineers don’t take “Engineering Calculus”, they take the same calculus that math, physics and chemistry majors take… it’s just called Calculus. And the only science he took was chemistry, which may well have been the watered down chemistry that life science types take.

    Todd… two losses for the one Senate seat… he first backed the Strange fellow who the former Gubernor appointed as a temp. Only after not getting Strange did Moore get a nod.
    Having a Dem in the seat for three years will probably sit better than having Moore causing heck for every GOP candidate going forward.
    Toes (somewhere back)… I thought I’d also raised the spectre of 14 being a marriageable age by AlalBAMA standards. Even now… with parental permission. While I’d not want my 14 year old child to have entered into matrimony, tarring Moore as a pedophile was slanderous. A sick f*ck by California standards, he did end up marrying a woman nearly as younger than he that the 14 year old was, who he did first notice when she was 15 or 16. My expectation is that he felt less threatened by a woman that much younger than he.
    Pedophiles can’t stop being pedophiles… which means seeking victims who have not yet begun puberty.

    Gregory, indeed you did mention the legalities of 14 years getting married back then and there. You also brought up the misuse of the word pedophile and other distortions as they arose.
    I merely took a bow for sizing up where the enemy would be taking this from out the gate within 5 minutes. Maybe 47 seconds. From a date with an underage girl to pedophilia. And that was exactly what they did. Then tie “”BREaKING NEWS, Trump supports pedophiles and child predators”around Trump’s neck and by extension, every Conservative, Republican office holder, every Republican, Righty, and, of course, all the Deplorables. Bring out the big ball of string and twine them all together. That was classic. Can’t go much lower than that.
    Odd that Mitch tried to pull a Hillary. Hillary and the DNC wanted Trump to be her opponent ( as you know well, more than most) and pulled the strings to make it happen. Mitch wanted Strange to run against Moore in case there was a runoff and pulled out the big guns to take Mo out. Mo was taken out in the most dastardly of ways in the primaries and Mitch got his wish….as did My Gal. But, we need Mitch to get things moving along so I ain’t part of the Ditch Mitch chorus anymore. I once was months ago, but that was over his lacking a spine. Trump slapped him around enough and he has found his missing family jewels.
    Roy was one of a kind. Walking around with Ten Commandments is fine…if you are Moses. But he was running for Senator, not preacher.
    Have you considered how hard it would be to replicate Jone’s win? You would need a special election in an off year with no other races of note going on and suck up all the spotlight 24/7. You need hundreds of hundreds of millions following in from Soros and his brigade to this solidary Senate race, made possible by not having it divided up between 33 Senate races and 420somerhing House contests. And you would need a bad opponent….a very bad opponent. Did you hear he is a pediphile? And Roy almost won, lol. Try that again. Todd was right. Scott Brown was an anomaly in Mass. and Jones is an short term anomaly in Alabama. One hit wonders.

    Toes, I do bow to your prescience on the “pedophile” pummeling.
    I am pleased to hear you’ve dropped the ditch Mitch mantra. It seemed a particularly myopic sidebar in GOP politics… he had a majority, but not a very big one and he had to rely on “Republicans” like Susan Collins and the increasingly erratic McCain, some of which was due to his illness. McConnell did a masterful job keeping the SCOTUS seat open in an election year and, for the partisan Dems who kept claiming it was unprecedented, I point you to His Accidency, John Tyler, who was ejected from his party (Whig) after assuming the presidency for a number of butt-heads that caused his Senate to give up on him. One seat was left empty for something like two years waiting for him to term out.
    Without that Senate Majority leader, Gorsuch would not be on the bench and the Senate is cranking out confirmations for lower Federal benches as I write.
    Crabb’s ‘toon showing Democrats painting AlaBAMA Blue was particularly silly. The senior Senator announced against Moore late in the campaign, and seven of eight (one short of a Star Trek character) Congresscritters in Alabama are GOP. It isn’t a Rhapsody in Blue for the state (it’s about 60/40 GOP) just a fling when the GOP candidate was not acceptable to large numbers of his own party and really unacceptable to independents and especially DEMs. As Karl Rove put it recently in a WSJ piece, Kooky Candidates Lose… the list is a trip down memory lane… Nevada’s Sharron Angle and Delaware’s Christine O’Donnell, Missouri’s Todd Akin and Indiana’s Richard Mourdock. If I were a Republican I’d be praying (were I to say a prayer) that Moore’s new low will finally put an end to it.

We have come to realize that our competition is not other satirical websites, but rather the people we are trying to satirize.

The article is a total caricature intended to be as ridiculous as possible, basically arguing that because liberals are good people, we should forgive them when they rape women. We thought no one in the world could possibly hold views as ridiculous as that, so we wrote it as satire and published it.

    Oh my, Pelline is wasting his readers time smearing me with all the clarity of listening in to only one side of a phone call. Since Jeff won’t let me post on his blog, I apologize for a short detour here.
    First, you conflated my suggesting you took the chemistry for life science majors with a contrived jab that I suggested the math you took was the watered down version offered life science majors. No, my dumping on you was for calling what you took “Engineering Calculus” which is not the name of a class given at Cal.
    No Jeffie, I don’t misunderstand the math offerings at Cal… they have Calculus (Math 1A and 1B) of one variable that is the introductory math class taken by serious students of math, science and engineering. It isn’t called “Engineering Calculus”, which is what you called it in your father’s obit that was curiously mostly about you. Well, maybe not so curious.
    Here’s the outline of requirements for (pure) Math majors at Cal:
    https://math.berkeley.edu/programs/undergraduate/major/pure
    Note they just call it Calculus. I took the entire lower division load Berkeley requires for a major (they were required for all majors at Mudd), plus the last in their sequence applied complex analysis which was truly a mind bender. Same book Cal used, too. At Mudd, about half of the folks taking applied complex analysis were physics majors taking it as an elective.
    Jeff snidely remarks that Sierra College wouldn’t hire me to teach math. Good, were I to want to teach junior college math I’d have earned a masters or better in Math, generally required for Sierra and every other accredited junior college faculty I’m aware of. My first wife Teri was hired as an Adjunct Professor of Math at Sierra with just a Bachelors but it was a BS Math from Mudd, and she did have that Masters in EE from (wait for it Jeff) Loyola-Marymount University, a Jesuit campus west of Los Angeles. Together, they met Sierra College standards for their math faculty.
    Teri actively steered me away from thinking about teaching at Sierra… thought I’d not have patience teaching such unprepared students. She may have been right.
    Oh, and Jeff, you got me. I would not expect LMU to make a list of top grad schools for Electrical Engineering… because it doesn’t offer a PhD. Nonetheless, it’s a highly ranked regional university that was stumbling distance from my office at Hughes Aircraft Company.
    Now, where does Jeff boast about majoring in Rhetoric, or his father working as an “oil exploration geologist” at Exxon? That must stick in the Former Union Editor’s craw. Oh, the humanity! Jeff’s dad personally responsible for much of the world’s CO2 emissions?

Since they have no factual or logical defense for those beliefs it turns into hate speech. It’s called ‘projection’ ( I think) in psychiatric terms.. meaning they ascribe their own emotions to others, i.e.. if one hates those with different beliefs they accuse their enemies of the hate they themselves harbor.

When all it takes is a loud white male who attempts to enforce border law (for the first time in decades) and makes a half-hearted attempt at healthcare reform and some tax tweaks to cause all this uproar, there’s obviously something else going on. Given the tendency for political movements to produce their opposite, maybe /pol is right when they talk about the upcoming Day of the Rope. Things can get crazy for no good reason.

    More from the FUE

    I read Mr. Science’s (Greg “independent software engineer at my place” Goodknight’s) long-winded rebuttal to this on Rebane’s blog and he’s either more dense than I thought or purposely deceives — or both.
    One example: He claims Cal does not offer “engineering calculus,” but the course guide clearly states (I guess I have to link to it again) that one calculus course is “intended for majors in ENGINEERING and the physical sciences” while another is “intended for majors in life and social sciences.”

    How special! And what calculus of one variable do math majors take? I gave you the link… cue the Final Jeopardy theme…
    Sorry, FUE, but does the math department call it “engineering calculus”? Or do they tell their own math majors to take engineering calculus? It’s just calculus, Jeff. They teach it in two semesters and everyone who takes it gets the same class.
    And the only reason I know this is reading the obit you wrote for your folks which manages to sneak in just about everything you’ve done. What’s up with that, Jeff?
    Your father was an oil exploration geologist. What will you do to balance out the damage to the planet attributed to your dear old departed dad, but not by me. By you, Jeff.
    Now, that claim of yours that your own son is a “STEM student, thanks to [your] encouragement”. What chutzpa. He’s a kid in high school, yes? So, without your encouragement he’d take less “science, technology, engineering and math”? How much engineering and technology does Ghidotti fit in, anyway?

    Scenes. Yes, the blue hair brigade takes over the intersection by Target on a daily basis. (never hear many honks from the passers by)
    Then at 1:00 sharp, they pack up and leave. ( I guess the nursing home bus loads up the over the hill gang at 1:15.)
    Funny,, I think I remember a few of them when they protested Target getting built. ( now they shop there….. Go figure.)
