It is time to impeach, isn’t it?

It is time to impeach them all.

No, not Trump.  Certainly not if they didn’t impeach the last guy.

No, I mean the idiots in Congress who have wasted our time and money with the ridiculous acts of the last few years.

Is it possible?

Posted on July 23, 2019 by

Really. Can modern politicians learn lessons when they do stupid, hypocritical things and get caught?

Really?

Consider the infamous Bernie Sanders, the non-Democrat (yeah, really) who is running for the Democratic Party’s nomination.  He is one of (virtually all of) the Democratic candidates for POTUS who is pushing the $15/hour wage.  But he got caught out – revealed for being the hypocrite that he is.  He doesn’t pay his own campaign staffers $15/hour.

A look back at the Declaration of Independence

Posted on July 22, 2019 by

By Nathan Barton

Today, in 2019, we hear the Founding Fathers and even the Declaration of Independence and US Constitution are racist, hypocritical, and therefore to be treated with contempt and anger.  And the principles contained therein are to be rejected and replaced by “true” democracy.

In particular, the Declaration is attacked for being hypocritical in its claim that “all men are created equal” because equality did not include women and slaves.

Here is at least a partial refutation of these attacks.

God is love – except to social media where He’s hate

Posted on July 19, 2019 by

The Blaze reports “Facebook bans quotation by St. Augustine of Hippo and calls it ‘hate speech,’ Catholic writer says”

What was this awful quote that Facebook says “goes against our community standards on hate speech.”?

Let us never assume that if we live good lives we will be without sin; our lives should be praised only when we continue to beg for pardon. But men are hopeless creatures, and the less they concentrate on their own sins, the more interested they become in the sins of others. They seek to criticize, not to correct. Unable to excuse themselves, they are ready to accuse others.

Oh, dear. In this text, Augustine (a 5th Century religious philosopher) is paraphrasing Jesus Christ’s words in Matthew 7:3 – ‘Why do you notice the splinter in your brother’s eye, but do not perceive the wooden beam in your own eye?’

Annual refresher training for Congressmen – just like MSHA

Posted on July 16, 2019 by

By Nathan Barton

This current crop of new congresscritturs makes us realize one of the strongest arguments for unlimited terms for them is the difficulty in getting them trained o- the-job. (Not that such an argument comes anywhere close to outweighing all of the many reasons to limit them to a single term.)

But we can quickly see (and not just in the headline-grabbing poster girls) that most of these people are totally unprepared to do the work that they are expected to do. Often, it is clear that they lack basic knowledge about such things as legislative procedures, budgeting and finance, taxation and especially a solid (or ANY) understanding of constitutional government.

Trump’s latest – eh?

Posted on July 15, 2019 by

by Nathan Barton

Mainsteam Media continues to portray The Donald as all sorts of evil, including much that he is definitely not guilty of, while mostly ignoring his real evils.

The list is long: the Never-Trumpers (Dem, GOP, and whatever) claim that he is homophobic, racist, misogynist, anti-immigrant, a militaristic warmonger, and a serial abuser of women.  The list could go on.

At the same time, we hear little, or almost nothing, about many of his serious character defects, including his inability to keep his pants zipped, his constant lies, his treatment of his own subordinates, and his boastfulness.  His checklist of both “serious” and “venal” sins seems to get filled repeatedly.
