Spin Zone / Re: North Korea; great response by Tillerson
« on: May 22, 2017, 06:48:37 AM »
It would take very little to collapse North Korea but the real risk would be what comes next.
A unified Korea would quickly emerge but would China or India, or Iran for that matter, let such a thing exist?

Sounds like Iraq.  We go and replace these dictators that we've been working with previously, for years, then have no viable exist scenario in sight.  Same thing happened in Libya.  It seems our leadership plays checkers, not chess.

Melania is beautiful. 

Moochelle's hijab needed to cover her entire head.

Both true statements.  The reason Michele had to cover her entire head was that she was scaring the general populace.

Just read an unattributed quote:  "Liberals are like high-maintenance girlfriends.  You're always wrong, and nothing is ever enough."

Boy, tell me about it.  I have put up with both.  I was able to act on one of them though.

Spin Zone / Re: Why we can't trust peer review
« on: May 22, 2017, 05:54:02 AM »
Academic peer review is suspect today.  My impression is that many just care about funding, and the path of least resistance to get it from the government, or other sources.  Buying into, and promoting progressive hoaxes like "climate change" is just one example.  Why is every solution to a perceived, or made up problem a big government program, and bureaucracy that requires huge funding from the middle income earner?

The establishment Republicans are as bad or worse than the Democrats.  They like the status quo.  They need to go.

Nice non-interventionist rhetoric.
Seems unlikely to be acted on, though.

Why do you say that?  The first step is recognizing, and identifying the problem in addition to admitting the problem.  For eight years Obama, nor any Democrat would admit that radical Islamic terrorism was the problem.  Appeasement only emboldens them.

Google's relevance algorithms have a liberal bias? If they can manage that, maybe they could program in Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics?

Well they do it somehow because they also block anything positive related to the NRA, or legal ownership, and use of firearms.  So do many other search engines, and sites.

Mark Steyn is the best conservative talk show host out there.

What I think is more relevant is that women in general, throughout history, have not been the main breadwinners; men have.  By biology or by culture, men's overriding concern has always been, can he support and protect his family?  This leaves men much more knowledgeable and concerned about caring for a thriving economy, and with a greater innate understanding of the need to maintain access to physical resources and to project strength to potential enemies.

Women on the other hand have a better sense of empathy.  I think it comes from the need to get inside the head of helpless infants, and it transfers to anyone. This isn't a bad thing at all. But it does leave them vulnerable to manipulation by those who would use social causes as a means to gain power. Because men tend to think more linearly, they seem better able to predict unintended consequences than women, who often are too focused on current suffering, and unable to look to the long run.

I'll bring up prohibition again as the perfect example. It was women who led the dry movement, because they saw real suffering caused by alcohol, but they completely miscalculated that the consequences of banning alcohol would be even worse.  However, once those terrible consequences came to be, to their credit, it was again women who led the movement to repeal prohibition.  Women had to see for themselves the suffering prohibition had caused before they "got it".  It's just too bad the whole country had to be jerked back and forth in the process by these females, and we are still left with a bad template for dealing with substance abuse.

This all makes a lot of sense Rush.  The unintended consequences, and the effects beyond looking at just the surface of issues, is an important consideration.  Look at at LBJ's "Great Society", and "War on Poverty".  It all sounds good on it surface, and while the purpose seemed benign, charitable, and altruistic, the results have been cruel, and destructive.  The real purpose was power, and votes, and the poor were just used as fodder.

I don't want to speak for Rush, but I think what SHE is referring to is the inherent volatility, and emotional state, and swings of SOME women.

I also think the voters should have "skin in the game", meaning they have to live with the consequences of their voting records, which often translates into higher taxes, more regulations, and more restrictions on freedom, and liberty.

My grandparents, and parents lived through the Great Depression, then WWII.  They knew the value of a dollar, and real hardship.  It molded them to be pragmatic, practical people who knew how to survive, and what was really important.  Have we as a society moved so far away from practicality that we no longer recognize it?

There is going to be violence, no doubt.  When the lunatics realize they won't regain power in 2018 they will go into a frenzy of the likes never seen before.

 As far as a military coup, I have my doubts.   We will see the fights using MSM and of course the moonbats in the streets looting and pillaging.

 Brace yourself, the next couple of years are going to be something.

I absolutely DO NOT want to use those Claymores I've been hoarding!   ;D

Yes, NSA spies, and your subcontractors, I am joking!!!

The pussy-fi-cation of America is truly the child of attention whore liberal women.
They can't compete - or believe they can't compete - on a level playing field with men, so they create this state of permanent PMS to cover their failures and destroy those that succeed.

I have long said that women essentially have taken over the agenda, and also have feminized society, and men to our collective detriment.  Women run education for the most part, and that has helped neuter boys.  When I meet a Millennial or younger person today that "gets it", I am truly shocked.

I disagree.  I think the liberal progressives are overplaying their hand and by the mass hysteria are actually making the rest take a hard look at them and their actions.  If anything, people (irredeemable deplorables) are finding even more resolve to keep these radicals out of power.

 The ratings are going up on the cable MSM "news" programs not that people are going along with the propaganda, but more just watching the ongoing freak show (kinda like reality TV on steroids)

I hope you are right.  The left/media/Dems are doubling down on their lunacy.  Like always, they believe they lost the election because they weren't FAR LEFT ENOUGH.  I hope this alienates even more people to leave their silliness behind.

Not only are Democrats not satisfied with the appointment of a special counsel, some are saying that we don't have time to wait for an investigation and should just go ahead and impeach Trump:

The Democrats know the media will repeat, repeat, and repeat again the lies they throw out.  The Dems know that if they keep yelling these lies, that Trump will have to react to them, and the general public will eventually begin to believe these lies as they get repeated so much.  The hope is that the public will turn on Trump, and vote for Dems in the next elections.  Trumps agenda will be stopped, and we will go back to the very destructive focus on identity politics and fake, social justice causes to further divide us. 

A divided populous is an easily controlled one.  Trump is trying to unite us with the Make America Great Again mantra giving us pride in ourselves, and our country.  The Democrats hate that.
