  1. I read the essay. There was not a hint of self-awareness or self-realization in it. In fact, I'm not sure why the title mentioned "I'm a conservative" as it didn't really come up anywhere else. The subtext that I got was, "I didn't really care about these issues until it affected me and my family directly." You can boil it all down to, "I didn't think my conservatism would hurt me, just other people."
  2. It is revealing of both the Russian mindset and the Western European mindset. Before WWI, the Western mind set was "no one will go to war, we're all making too much money at peace." No one accounted for a German Kaiser with an intellectual capacity that prefigured the current potus. I believe Europe still has this same mindset and is struggling to come to grips with the idea that Russia could make so much money and be happy in peace if it chose to do so. They are just waking up to the fact that they have created a monster on their own doorstep and they can't just stick their head in the sand and pretend it isn't happening. But the Russians just don't see the world that way. They are of the mind set that they are either invading or getting invaded. They either control or be controlled. There's no middle ground where there is a good faith meeting of the minds, exchange of goods and ideas. Diplomacy is a zero sum game. This is especially true of Putin the man. You're either screwing or getting screwed. That leaves no room for individual growth - whether intellectual or economic. It leaves no room for the long term development of resources of the national good. And really, it doesn't leave much room for peace. They must be ruthlessly defeated. Otherwise, we're just asking for more invasion.
  3. That fucking guy is just so ignorant of so many basic facts. A true reflection of the electorate I'm afraid.
  4. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Paperclip Indeed.
  5. Alan's not getting laid tonight.
  6. This. The West has lost the generation of people who had the grit to muscle through some tough times to get to a better outcome. We're pretty soft with our iPhone's and lattes. Russia has always talked of the decadent West, which rankles us, because there's a fair bit of truth to it.
  7. Yup, and I don't begrudge the plaintiffs a bit. But every time I bring this issue up, along with "grab em by the pussy", convicted for sexual assault and all the many other clear signs of being a malevolent sexually assaulting asshole, they say, "But the case was dropped so she just made it all up." Like it's more likely that her accusations were false than it is that we have all this circumstantial evidence that, yeah, he has a long and sordid history of doing all this same kind of awful stuff. It's maddening.
  8. On what basis do you make this statement? It is flat out incorrect and I'm surprised I haven't seen it immediately corrected. Fourth Amendment The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized. Doesn't say anything about which "people". "The right of the people..." All people. Fifth Amendment No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation. (Emphasis added). No PERSON. Doesn't say "citizen." All people in the U.S. are afforded the right to Due Process. Either everyone has it, or no one has it.
  9. It’s to kill everyone’s right to Due Process.
  10. So much winning
  11. This sounds a whole lot less like MAGA getting its face eaten, than old school Mississippi racism. More of a MAGA getting what it wants than a comeuppance.
  12. This is all great. Let's just see what really happens. Someone needs to keep the Russophiles away from tfg's ear.
  13. You mean W.
  14. I've noticed this as well. Whoever has his ear last is the most likely to get their way on a given point. While he has a proven affinity for "strong" men, he can be manipulated by good as well. It's just that the good have to get over...well...being good.
  15. Dammit, that sucks. I never played there but swilled many a beer by the lake on its barstools. This and Vernon's going could totally go in the Enshitification thread.
  16. No you don't.
  17. I forgot to mention a couple of personal victories since I last visited this thread. First, Chad Jr. got his Star at our May Court of Honor. He was elected ASPL at elections this past Monday. Second, last weekend I attended my first OA Ordeal as staff. This was my first OA event since 1988. It was also Chad Jr.'s Ordeal. Our Scoutmaster and his son were also candidates. I attended with our ASM, and two youth, all of whom passed their Ordeal in May. The upper ranks of our Troop - boys and girls - just went away during and immediately after Covid. That included OA. When Chad Jr. crossed over, we had one OA member and he wasn't terribly active. I worked to have elections in February, had a call out in March at our district camporee, and managed to get 3 adults and 7 youth in and active. We have one more adult from that election and one more youth who still need to finish their Ordeal. Not sure if they'll get across the finish line, but it won't be for me not trying.
  18. Classic. There was a bar in Gun Barrel City just like that, with chicken wire around the stage. They had signS (i.e., multiple, probably one on each wall) that said "No spitting, No LOUD cussing, No nudity." I always wondered what the back story was on that. Rarely does that sign get hung up without multiple incidents that need...correcting.
  19. For the record, he read the lyrics off the phone but I figure on a request like that you're not required to memorize all those fast words.
  20. Ha! I've lived that exact scenario with that same song. All the little aspiring chanteuses learn "Fancy" on their road to greatness.
