At first glance, these suggestions from my long-time friend Linda Billings seem sort of anodyne, but she gives away the game at the end:
Deep in my brain and in my heart I think and feel that colonizing other planets and exploiting extraterrestrial resources would be immoral at this stage of human development. I’m not at all sure that Eilene Galloway would agree with me. I wish I could talk with her about it.
I’m pretty sure that Eilene would disagree. I know for certain that I do.
“…but the media really is treating him unfairly.”
Yes. Unfortunately, he keeps providing them with ammunition, giving them an illegitimate excuse to ignore Hillary’s actual scandals and crimes. He’s a political disaster. As I expected him to be.

Found missing link.
…are worse than robber barons.
Yes. Yes they are.
No, it’s not a “humanitarian” crisis. It’s just another example of the inevitable failure of socialism.

Is “liberalism” creating a soulless monoculture?
There’s nothing liberal about it. It’s totalitarian.
Thoughts on the Left’s insouciance toward it. You see, unlike Islam, Christianity is evil.
And a question worth asking: Is Islam a religion?
It’s a totalitarian ideology masquerading as one.
But his detractors lack common sense.
I’m a lot older than I’d like to be, but I can’t recall a time when the people running the country were so clueless and incompetent. I wonder how much of it was the destruction of the educational system by the Left?
I haven’t seen the movie, and I’m glad that it exposes young people who’ve been taught a false history (or little history at all) of the Clinton crime syndicate, and the vile racist nature of the Democrat Party, going back to its founding and continuing through today. But the Republicans have their own issues, and the notion that it’s unpatriotic to not be one is nonsense.
Barrack Obama says Donald Trump is. Howie Carr says it takes one to know one:
Brave talk from a guy who thinks there are 57 states, that they speak Austrian in Austria, that they speak Arabic in Afghanistan, who pronounced the state he lived in for three years as “Mass-a-tu-setts,” who pronounced corpsman as “corpseman.” Who thinks the Transcontinental Railroad was “intercontinental.”
He described Eric Holder’s wife, a physician, as a “nationally renowned ohbee-gynee.” He misspelled “Syracus” on his NCAA brackets sheet. He is utterly tongue-tied without a teleprompter. He makes “recess” appointments when the Senate is not in recess.
If he had a son, he would look like Trayvon Martin. His grandmother was a typical white person. The Cambridge Police Department acted stupidly.
It never ends with this buffoon. Yesterday, in Singapore, he mangled the name of the country’s founding father. He can’t be bothered acting like an adult. He chews gum in public. Remember how he took selfies of himself with the Danish hottie at Nelson Mandela’s funeral?
The media were all over Trump like white on rice yesterday because he was goofing around with a baby at a rally. But Obama gets a base on balls on absolutely everything. If his middle name weren’t “Hussein,” it would be “Entitlement.”
Indeed.
What’s with the post-modern emphasis on it?
As noted, it provides an excuse to redistribute from those who have “won life’s lottery” (as Dick Gephardt once put it), to those less “fortunate,” who then can purchase steaks on food stamps from a hard-working sales clerk who has to get by on hamburger, or worse.
It’s worth noting that there are some fields in which a lot of luck is involved, because the supply of “talent” (such as it is) vastly exceeds demand (e.g., Hollywood). When you see a family of actors (e.g., the Baldwins or Afflecks), it’s because once one of them is in, they then have the connections to bring in the others. And they know it. The guilt they feel knowing that they lucked out while others equally talented didn’t make it probably drives a lot of their “liberal” (which isn’t really; it’s leftist) guilt.
As Glenn asks, has there ever before been a convention in which the attendees demanded that the nominee be jailed?
And Jill Stein: “The scary things, the horrific things that Donald Trump says, Hillary Clinton has already done. Whether it’s massively deporting immigrants, whether it’s threatening nuclear warfare…”
Proud, Democrats?
