"Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of authority ... the Constitution was made to guard against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters." - Noah Webster


"There is no worse tyranny than forcing a man to pay for what he does not want just because you think it would be good for him."
-- Robert A. Heinlein

College Students

I wish I had a transcript of the video that I am linking to on Brietbart.tv.  It's a video of college students who are members of the College Democrats Association giving their reasons why they are Democrats.  Some of the things they say are just flat out incorrect, such as, "we are a democracy, not a theocracy."  Proving that the government school indoctrination has worked on too many skulls full of mush.  Go watch that short video and then you'll understand my comments.


"No difference between a judge and a janitor."  Really?  Can a handful of janitors render decisions that fundamentally transform the country, rob you of your enumerated rights as declared in our Constitution, and turn you into a slave of the State?

I guess  I could have played it and paused it and wrote down all the things that were stupid and wrong, but there are only so many hours in the day, and I don't want to spend any of them screaming and tearing my hair out.

One quote just about shot me out of my chair:  "Government should take care of its citizens."

Red Curtain Of Blood falls across my eyes and steam starts shooting out of my ears.

No, no, no, no, no, you silly, imbecilic piece of bat guano. That's what the idiots in Cuba, North Korea, Venezuela, and other communist countries have fallen for.  The government that's big enough to give you everything is the government that's big enough to take every damned thing you have.  Go live in one of the above named countries, do a thorough study for your doctoral thesis on how those governments take care of every aspect of their citizens lives and then come back and tell us all about it.  Here.  I'll help you out by giving you this link to the latest news on North Korea.

I'm Almost Speechless

What happens when classical education, reason, and logic are no longer required subjects in school and the leftist moonbats are in charge of government education?

You get this:

Opinion and Authority

In another example of how rational thought is becoming as rare as frog fur, we get this story from the examiner.com regarding a person allowed a position of authority for the purpose of eroding our rights further.

Hat tip to Joe Huffman.

Go read at least the first few paragraphs of this article, and then come back.  Go ahead.  I'll wait.

What I really applaud at Joe's blog is his last commentary on the link, which is so juicy and apropos, I simply must reproduce it here:

Oh! I like this game:
  • Everyone who has ever been in an automobile wreck is now a traffic safety engineer.
  • Everyone who has ever had their computer crash is now a software developer.
  • Everyone who has ever been divorced now is an expert on relationships.
  • Everyone who has ever failed a class is now a professor.
    • Everyone who has ever said something stupid is now a genius.

That last one must explain why Joe Biden is now VPOTUS.
About 20 years ago, I read an essay by a famous newsman (can't remember the name) lamenting the fact that society had gotten to the point where everyone's opinion was somehow sacrosanct. It had gotten to the point where a person could have absolutely no knowledge about a subject, or worse, believe silly and untrue things about the subject and yet nobody is supposed to point out the fact that it's stupid to give any credence to such an opinion.

Today we are reaping the disaster of the seeds or weeds we've allowed to grow unchecked for fear of hurting anyone's feelings.  It's time for this to stop.
