I remember well, because I was one of the deluded that the polls were, quite frankly, bullshit. Of course Romney was going to beat Obama….his economic record alone would doom him to defeat. Not to mention the catastrophe that was ObamaCare. Or the never-ending apology tours he was so fond of. That they were neck…
Of Course the RNC Doesn’t Get it
"Down ballot" as if that matters. Exclusive: The Republican Party’s Chairman’s Warning to Donald Trump https://t.co/zh9ujXEqAO — tsrblke (@tsrblke) August 11, 2016 Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus told Donald Trump in a phone call last week that if he doesn’t turn his flailing campaign around, the national party may shift its focus from his…
Media Oddly Confused On Idea of Incitement, Threats
As many of you may have figured out, I live a stone’s throw from Ferguson, in an undisclosed location somewhere in the Greater St. Louis Area. So when the media went nuts over Trump’s “Threat!!!!ELVENTY!” I was reminded of events in the past. Compare: “I think he was expressing a sentiment that a lot of…
There’s No Good Way Out Of This
I keep telling you all, We’re Screwed. But no one seems to listen. To pick on one of my twitter followers: The worst case scenario under Clinton is still better than the best under Trump. — MoeFwacky ⚠ (@MoeFwacky) August 8, 2016 (To be fair I’m not sure the best case scenario under Clinton is…
Counter-Counter-Counterpoint
Well, just as in real life, we at CJN seem to be in the midst of a bit of a contretemps about Mr. Trump, Mrs. Clinton, the 2016 Election and the state of the union today and going forward. That’s not a bad thing; it’s in keeping with the spirit of this website as well…
Blog War: Counter- Counter Point: We’re screwed.
I am, apparently, deluded. So says the man responsible for the existence of this blog in the first place. I should perhaps clarify my original post first. You’ll note that I said (among other things): If you wanted to go this route (and I’m not even sure I would, I’m just brainstorming…) To wit: I’m…
Counterpoint: Protest Voting In This Election Is Naive And Dangerous
My earnest but painfully deluded coblogger seems to think that this election cycle is just one more in a series of American presidential elections that will have consequences that are neither dire nor or existential, and that a protest vote is an appropriate response to two truly awful choices (I don’t count the Libertarian, who…
Plus Ça Change, Plus La Même Chose
Despite being what can only be described as a certifiable model train nut, I’ve also been an armchair model airplane enthusiast for most of my life. My dad built and flew them when he was a kid back in the 30s, and, in fact his brother was a partner in a well-known company from the…
Protest Voting: GOP Edition
There are a lot of people on both sides upset with the outcome of these primaries. I’ll leave to the Democrats to figure out how to send their party a message. But what of us conservatives? The way I see it we have three options: Don’t vote (at least for the presidential race.) Vote for…
Collectivism Is All The Dems Have
But in fairness to them, I guess it sells well. It is their solution for everything though. More tax dollars, and more government regulation will make us all play nice together and solve the nation’s problems. It’d be incredibly cute in a naïve sort of way, if it weren’t so incredibly scary for its totalitarianism….
