Spin Zone / Re: Roger Ailes dead at 77 - Former Fox news chief

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.

When these students enter the real world and start to complain about this stuff and get fired, they'll have only themselves to blame. This is just nonsense.

The media promotes this crap.  These Social Justice Warriors, and the media Social Justice Warriors just look for things in which to be offended by, and then dismantle.  The Civil War statues being removed is another pet peeve of mine. 

When these little freaks suffer real pain, or at least real adversity, they will melt under the pressure.

Anna Wibbelman, former president of Building a Better Michigan, stated at a student government meeting that “minority students felt marginalized by quiet, imposing masculine paneling” of several academic buildings around campus.

The primary building in question, the Michigan Union building, is a historical building on campus and serves as one of the most recognizable landmarks of the university.

Although the building is set to undergo a pricey $85.2 million renovation, the wood paneling is here to stay, to the dismay of minority students who finds it presence to be “intimidating.”

What are these people thinking?  Next, they'll want to take down civil war statues!

Here's the thing: rational people (those in the flyover states, the irredeemable deplorables that cling to their bibles and guns are not buying the bullshit of the left and the MSM.  They aren't watching TV like CNN and going "Yea, those screaming irrational babbling idiots have a point!"

The left liberal progressives along with their mouthpiece (MSM) are just proving more than ever they don't ever need to be put back in charge of anything.

The problem is that the disease of liberal/progressive elitist thought pervades the metro areas with the most population.  The worst Presidential candidate in U.S. history won the popular vote because the NYC, and L.A. metro areas vote lock step Democrat.  Theses small enclaves control entire states, and regions politically, and it is getting worse.  it is almost like mass brainwashing.  In the quest for some type of meaning in their lives, they support every social justice cause, no matter how destructive.

I wouldn't go that far. I'll agree that he's put a lot of people in good positions (this cabinet is one of the best in a long time, for the most part) and he's done some good things. He is his own worst enemy, though, as evidenced by his tweets and his statements.

Totally agree.  He doesn't have the discipline to not respond, nor lash out.  His advisors need to reign him in.  He sometimes gives the story legs where it may have just died if he left it alone.  I do like a lot of the people he has around him.  Unlike Obama, he has qualified people from both inside, and outside government.  Obama just surrounded himself with lefty activists, academicians, and politicians.

Some Democrats were calling for impeachment well before now. Maxine Waters comes to mind.

I think she, and some others were calling for his impeachment when he was President Elect!!!  Maxine Waters is the poster child for everything that is wrong in politics.  Elijah Cummings, Chuck Schummer, Nancy Pelosi, etc are others to name a few.

At this point in our society, you cannot say much to people with whom you work.  I haven't complimented women in the workplace for decades.  I don't know what Ailes did, or didn't do to the women at Fox News.  There seemed to have been several allegations, and at least one law suit.  In my mind there must have been something there, or the gold diggers got damn lucky.  Who knows. 

I read a separate article recently on Fox News that has them floundering due to the recent leadership, and scheduling/host changes.  I gave up most of my cable channels a while back, as I wasn't watching much, and downgraded my service, so don't watch Fox anyway.  I get most of my info on the internet.

Spin Zone / Re: Seth Rich had contact with WikiLeaks prior to death
« on: May 18, 2017, 08:48:24 AM »
This entire charade about intelligence leaking is specifically so the nazi media can ignore the Seth Rich story.

The ONLY thing the corrupt, Progressive media cares about is ousting the legitimate President of the United States.  As I have said before, this is a COUP.  It has not become overtly violent yet, but if the media/Dems do not get their way, and Trump remains, it may get violent.  At the minimum they are reducing Trump to reacting to allegation, after allegation, even if they are totally devoid of anything factual.  They are successfully derailing his agenda to the detriment of the country. 

I guess they don't want a viable healthcare insurance system, a more secure border to help reduce violent crime, nor lower taxes to improve the economy.  The media, and Dems are OK with our standard of living, and quality of life continuing to erode because it makes them "FEEL" better to advance their failed, utopian agenda.  Welcome to the United Collective Federation, formerly known as the United States.  Let that sink in.  "United States".  A coalition of sovereign states with a very weak, and limited Federal Government to provide a few services as a whole.  What the efff happened?

Assuming we still have a country. Time for some exercising of the Patriot Act and start making the rabble rousers accountable and giving them a vacation in Cuba.

No, no, no.  That's not what the Patriot Act is for.  It is solely to spy upon, and incarcerate middle age, conservative, libertarian (non-progressive) white guys who legally own firearms.
