Senator Rand Paul Rolls Up And Pimp-Slaps Neocons Over Foreign Policy In Their Hood
Kentucky Senator Rand Paul gave this address 2/6/2013 at the Heritage Foundation. Here’s the text of the address: Foreign policy is uniquely an arena where we should base decisions on the landscape of the world as it is . . . not as we wish it to be. I see the world as it is. I [...]
27 Asians Attack 3 Whites… Or Why Americans Need Weapons With More Than 10 Round Magazines
This video shows 27 asians attacking 3 white people in a Boston mall parking garage. Four and a half minutes elapse in this garage before mall security comes to the aid of those being assaulted. Of course, the silly Boston onlookers glued to their car seats thought that honking their horns would quell the racist [...]
Let Them Eat Persecution Complex!
French Court Decimates Right To Free Speech By Forcing Twitter To Identify “Anti-Semitic” Tweets This is by far the dumbest thing I’ve read today. Who gets to judge what is anti-Semitic? I sure hope it isn’t American neocons, because if it is, no tweets will ever see the light of day on Twitter outside the [...]
Jefferson: All Men Are Created Equal – Obama: That’s Not Good Enough
In his 2nd inaugural address, Obama continued to flaunt his axiological misunderstanding of America’s founding doctrines. Obama conjures equal rights, an alien theory dis-kindred to greater than hexadecaroon degree of the equal protection guaranteed by the 14th Amendment. For reference, here’s the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment: All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and [...]
In Which WaPo’s Greg Sargent Gets Pwned on 2nd Amendment/Constitution, Tucks Tail, Runs Away
Last Wednesday, I had an interesting and protracted “debate” on Twitter with Greg Sargent (one of many resident tyrants riding the Washington Post’s meager staff). The screencaps basically speak for themselves, but I’ll provide a bit of commentary at times, for the sake of context. It began when I questioned Greg’s assertion that large majorities [...]
Federalism Follow-up
I know what you’re thinking. “After those three posts in that series (somewhere around 12,000 words, in total), you’re writing another piece on federalism?” Why, yes. Yes I am. And, if you haven’t seen the others, you should read Part 1 (Context), and Part 2 (Theory), and, most importantly, Part 3 (Practice). Based on the [...]
Federalism: In Context, In Theory, and In Practice – Part 2
Part 2: In Theory In Part One of this series, I laid out the case that federalism has been widely misconstrued, mercilessly ridiculed, and meticulously bastardized throughout the 20th century. This has culminated, in the past two years, with Heather Gerken’s “progressive federalism” lunacy (which I exposed in gory detail in that piece). The fact [...]
…Another Man’s Treasure
Or: “Maxims, Idioms, and Saws (Oh, My!)” There are hundreds of maxims and idioms which have become commonplace in the American English lexicon. As such, they are all but universally accepted as almost having the weight of law. Those familiar with my radio shows and/or other writings here at The Trenches will know that I [...]
(Power) Binge And (Threat) Purge
For the last six months here at The Trenches (and for many years before that, elsewhere), I have been sounding the alarm about those in the ranks of the GOP whose main intent is to steer it away from its creed. Their reasons for doing so have been exposed and demonstrated numerous times, and I’ll [...]
