Lar of Galen...I knew we had slid into socialism over the last 50 years, and dove much deeper into it during BO's reign, but now it is really hitting me hard.  I was paying about $230 a month for excellent health care for myself and my wife via my County.  But I turned 65 in September, and was forced into Commiecare.  I was immediately slammed with a bill of over $536 to cover the first 4 month (Sep - Dec).  Two days ago, I received a bill of $830 (!!) to cover January - March (WHY the massive increase??!??).  And it is due by 12/25/17. And that's just for Part B!!! 

     I'm having to pay another $200+ per month for Part F, to fill in all the gaps.  AND, I'm still paying for my wife's insurance, because it is cheaper thru the county than the school district.  PLUS, all dental and eye expenses will be coming out of my pocket. Socialism is evil and does not work.  Except to benefit the Commies in control who have our money and the power to run our lives.

     I don't know how we will pay the property taxes and income tax next month.  I may be living in a shack in a few months.  Oh, but there is good news: Next September I will start receiving Socialist Security ... which will increase my taxes.  I hope that shack has running water and electricity.

Lar of Galen...The book "1984" should be retitled "2017".  I remember Rush talking about how the libs were wanting Comey's head after he reopened the Hillary investigation (just to close it again).  They harangued, harrumphed, and demanded he be fired.  Then Trump fired him.   That night, Jimmy Kimmel told his audience about the firing, and the audience cheered.  Kimmel was taken aback, and said something like "You want Trump to get away with obstructing justice??!!?" The audience hadn't gotten the memo that they were now pro-Comey and were supposed to be upset because Trump fired him because they were getting too close to the "Russian collusion" investigation. It's hard to be a liberal commie fascist.  Sometimes you forget what you're supposed to be outraged by.

Regarding the imbecile in Chicago (yeah, I know, which one, you say?) that wants the United Nitwits to come in and stop the gun violence, Rudolph of Jersey says...Wouldn’t it be easier to deport everyone in Chicago to Yemen and then …. wait a minute.  We don’t deport anyone. Sorry, I lost my head for a minute.  Why don’t we appoint Obama to fix the problem and if he doesn’t, make the Democrats in Congress lose their seats.  Seems fair to me.

Lar of Galen...Sadly, today we have government over the people, by the government, for the government. Trump has pushed them in the right general direction with tax reform, but what we really need is repeal of the 16th Amendment -- putting an end to income tax -- and replace it with a truly fair (flat) sales tax.  Let the people decide how much they keep and the government gets -- as God and the Founding Fathers intended, not the other way around.

A description of politics in the US since the mid sixties.   Evan Sayet: Fight on, Trump - "You magnificent bastard".  

This is an interesting article!!  

Douglas Sayet is a comedian and conservative speaker. He is the nation's leading conservative speaker, an in-demand Master of Ceremony for Republican events. Sayet is the author of The Kinder Garden Of Eden: How The Modern Liberal Thinks And Why He's Convinced That Ignorance Is Bliss.
 He Fights….  by Evan Sayet   

My Leftist friends (as well as many ardent #Never Trumpers) constantly ask me if I'm not bothered by Donald Trump's lack of decorum. 

They ask if I don't think his tweets are "beneath the dignity of the office." Here's my answer: We Right-thinking people have tried dignity. There could not have been a man of more quiet dignity than George W. Bush as he suffered the outrageous lies and politically motivated hatreds that undermined his presidency. We tried statesmanship. 

Could there be another human being on this earth who so desperately prized "collegiality" as John McCain? We tried propriety has there been a nicer human being ever than Mitt Romney? And the results were always the same. 

This is because, while we were playing by the rules of dignity, collegiality and propriety, the Left has been, for the past 60 years, engaged in a knife fight where the only rules are those of Saul Alinsky and the Chicago mob

I don't find anything "dignified," "collegial" or "proper" about Barack Obama's lying about what went down on the streets of Ferguson in order to ramp up racial hatreds because racial hatreds serve the Democratic Party. 

I don't see anything "dignified" in lying about the deaths of four Americans in Benghazi and imprisoning an innocent filmmaker to cover your tracks. I don't see anything "statesman-like" in weaponizing the IRS to be used to destroy your political opponents and any dissent. Yes, Obama was "articulate" and "polished" but in no way was he in the least bit "dignified," "collegial" or "proper."

The Left has been engaged in a war against America since the rise of the Children of the '60s. To them, it has been an all-out war where nothing is held sacred and nothing is seen as beyond the pale. It has been a war they've fought with violence, the threat of violence, demagoguery and lies from day one the violent take-over of the universities till today. 

The problem is that, through these years, the Left has been the only side fighting this war. While the Left has been taking a knife to anyone who stands in their way, the Right has continued to act with dignity, collegiality and propriety. With Donald Trump, this all has come to an end. Donald Trump is America 's first wartime president in the Culture War.

During wartime, things like "dignity" and "collegiality" simply aren't the most essential qualities one looks for in their warriors. Ulysses Grant was a drunk whose behavior in peacetime might well have seen him drummed out of the Army for conduct unbecoming.

Had Abraham Lincoln applied the peacetime rules of propriety and booted Grant, the Democrats might well still be holding their slaves today.  Lincoln rightly recognized that, "I cannot spare this man. He fights..."

General George Patton was a vulgar-talking, son-of-a-bitch. In peacetime, this might have seen him stripped of rank. But, had Franklin Roosevelt applied the normal rules of decorum then, Hitler and the Socialists would be five decades into their thousand-year Reich.

Trump is fighting. And what's particularly delicious is that, like Patton standing over the battlefield as his tanks obliterated Rommel's, he's shouting, "You magnificent bastard, I read your book!" That is just the icing on the cake, but it's wonderful to see that not only is Trump fighting, he's defeating the Left using their own tactics.   That book is Saul Alinsky's Rules for Radicals a book so essential to the Liberals' war against America that it is and was the playbook for the entire Obama administration and the subject of Hillary Clinton's senior thesis. It is a book of such pure evil, that, just as the rest of us would dedicate our book to those we most love or those to whom we are most indebted, Alinsky dedicated his book to Lucifer.

Trump's tweets may seem rash and unconsidered but, in reality, he is doing exactly what Alinsky suggested his followers do. First, instead of going after "the fake media" and they are so fake that they have literally gotten every single significant story of the past 60 years not just wrong, but diametrically opposed to the truth, from the Tet Offensive to Benghazi, to what really happened on the streets of Ferguson, Missouri. Trump isolated CNN. He made it personal.

Then, just as Alinsky suggests, he employs ridicule which Alinsky described as "the most powerful weapon of all." ... Most importantly, Trump's tweets have put CNN in an untenable and unwinnable position. ... They need to respond. This leaves them with only two choices. They can either "go high" (as Hillary would disingenuously declare of herself and the fake news would disingenuously report as the truth) and begin to honestly and accurately report the news or they can double-down on their usual tactics and hope to defeat Trump with twice their usual hysteria and demagoguery. The problem for CNN (et al.) with the former is that, if they were to start honestly reporting the news, that would be the end of the Democratic Party they serve.

It is nothing but the incessant use of fake news (read: propaganda) that keeps the Left alive.. Imagine, for example, if CNN had honestly and accurately reported then-candidate Barack Obama's close ties to foreign terrorists (Rashid Khalidi), domestic terrorists (William Ayers), the mafia (Tony Rezko) or the true evils of his spiritual mentor, Jeremiah Wright's church. Imagine if they had honestly and accurately conveyed the evils of the Obama administration's weaponizing of the IRS to be used against their political opponents or his running of guns to the Mexican cartels or the truth about the murder of Ambassador Christopher Stevens and the Obama administration's cover-up.

So, to my friends on the Left and the #Never Trumpers as well do I wish we lived in a time when our president could be "collegial" and "dignified" and "proper"? Of course I do. These aren't those times. This is war. And it's a war that the Left has been fighting without opposition for the past 50 years. 

So, say anything you want about this president - I get it - he can be vulgar, he can be crude, he can be undignified at times.   I don't care. I can't spare this man. He fights for America!
