Look What You Made Us Do

From: Mitch Berg, whose common “irascible peasant” self-appelation has never seemed more on-target.
Re: You

Dear all Democrats,

Every once in a while, in front of a friendly audience, you slip and let the truth out.

In front of the NPR simps in 2016, for example, you said in as many words it was time for the media to put its finger – or arm, or butt – on the scale to tip the public against Donald Trump.

And now, from the (if you’ll pardon the expression) Colbert sixty minutes hate:

You can put most of what this woman says into the mouth of a spousal abuser – which really is a great metaphor for the modern Democrat party.

That is all.

    No one has yet explained to me why “majority rule” == good government.
    No one wants majority rule less than black people, because the majority is white and they are not white.

    “Hey, we [the coasts] are footing the bill.”

    She has a point. Ten states, mostly on the coasts and in the Northeast pay more in taxes than they receive in federal dollars.

    I hate to get all Karl Marx on her, but

    If San Francisco based Wells Fargo is taxed on the profits it earns from a bank in Bemidji, should that really count as federal revenue from California?

    And if a financial service company in New York city, owns businesses all over the country, should the taxable profits from those companies be counted as New York’s contribution to the federal government?

    And if Apple employs slave labor in China…..

    Uh, let’s not go there.

    I hate to say this, but did anyone else notice the irony in a black lesbian complaining about minority rule?

    It’s hard to believe that you aren’t in the majority when all you listen to is an echo chamber. Here’s a “black, lesbian” who is convinced she is in the majority just because she lives in California and flies, probably first class, to New York over that “red in the middle” . Of course this is only encouraged by the audience who have to be told when to laugh and when to call as if in approval of the racist and elitest B.S. that spouts from her mouth.
    We have the same here except the East part is actually not on the coast. It’s just above Detroit in Toronto.

    CfC,

    Christopher Hitchens hammered on Jon Stewart for that when he appeared on The Daily Show years and years ago. Called the audience a bunch of trained seals. And things have only gotten more insular since then.

    I grew up in North Dakota; my mom listened to CBW in Winnipeg because we didn’t have an NPR station in North Dakota at the time. And I know Saskatchewan, Alberta and BC are to Ontario as Texas and Montana are to Massachusetts.

    Yet Alberta locks up pastors and barricades their churches for defying the lockdown.

    Liberals like the woman in the video believe the US is a white male patriarchy maintaining the legacy of slavery while oppressing blacks, women, and homosexuals.

    Except that same woman is a successful black homosexual appearing on a nation-wide television show. Her very existence proves her beliefs are a joke.

    Doesn’t that make her the modern equivalent of a court jester?

    I am ever more amazed at the wisdom of the Founders.

    You think this issue didn’t come up at the time? Of course it did. Counter-balancing the influence of rich and populous states gave us the Senate and the 3/5 compromise.

    Granted, who pays the most income taxes wasn’t an issue until the Sixteenth Amendment in 1913. Prior to that, the government was funded mostly by tariffs on imports. And who could afford to pay the tariffs on fancy imported goods? Rich people, who lived mostly in coastal states where the imports arrived, not sodbusters scrabbling on the prairie.

    Being a successful entertainer doesn’t make you wise about government. That takes years of study, like the 11-year interval between 1776 when independence was declared and 1787 when the Constitution was adopted. Get back to me when you’ve spent a decade learning and maybe I’ll be ready to listen to you explain why the system adopted by the Founders is all wrong.

    One more thought on Ms. Sykes rant:

    Her complaint concerns abortion, yet she hails from New York, a state with very, very liberal abortion laws.

    So what is her beef?

    Apparently, rather than just being satisfied to live her far lefty life as she chooses, she wants to impose her values on the rest of the country.

    Like Joe says, the founders had just this thing in mind.

    “You don’t get to pick the restaurant. Shut up and eat.” My wife’s ex- was just like that. Domineering, gaslighting, narcissistic. You hit it, Mitch.

    Yeah, its called clapter, not really laughs, not full blown applause. It’s what the late night monkeys get from their obedient seals.

    As regards which states are tax payers and which are tax takers, it’s a little more complicated. In fact, I think Mitch has written about it before. Military bases are a part of it, as are people paying into retirement plans in New York or other blue states, and retiring to a red state to receive their social security and medicare.

    The word “democracy” doesn’t fit anything like its original meaning to Democrats. They don’t want a popular vote on abortion, or gun rights, or immigration.
    To Democrats the phrase “our democracy” means “our racket,” whatever allows them to accumulate money, power, and status by taking it from other people.
    As in “You think you are going to raise your kids with your values? No, no,no. They are going to be raised with OUR values. That way they will respect ‘our democracy.’”

    Why I quit the AAAS. Their latest email membership request. Note the lack of any discussion of actual science. That is because the AAAS no longer advances science, it advances diversity within “science.”:
    You can lift up LGBTQ+ voices in STEMM.
    When you become a AAAS Member, you’ll join our efforts to ensure all people have the opportunity to add to the world’s collective scientific knowledge—as scientists and as science journalists.
    Every year, we invite diverse voices to join us at Science magazine through the AAAS Diverse Voices in Science Journalism Internship. Our interns come from diverse backgrounds and provide their unique perspectives to the reporting in Science while gaining invaluable journalistic experience.
    Additionally, we routinely advocate with policymakers to increase inclusion in STEMM and engage in numerous diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives designed to ensure all voices have a place in the sciences.
    Join us in these efforts. When you become a member at the Silver level or above, we’ll send you our exclusive ‘Inclusion Is Elemental’ T-shirt so you can show off your support.

    It’s no longer a Democracy…It’s no longer majority rule, it’s just not

    Excuse me, ma’am. Your California public school education and 80 IQ are showing.

    Never was majority rule. We are a Republic, not a Democracy; never were. You may go and sit by your dish until we need a sandwich.
