Haven’t read the Toobin piece yet, but this one packs a good enough wallop.

Thanks for calling attention to it! Think I’ll redefine myself as a neo-Constitutionalist!

Which means, they won’t go away, until you all are sucked dry.

But the left seems to think smart = talking like a Harvard lawyer.

Leftism is a dying religion. It may take a few years, even decades, but statism cannot sustain itself.

They are losing, for the simple reason that they are wrong. But they will be replaced. Someone will always come back with utopian ideas of centralized control. It fits in with a certain mentality.

We will always be having this fight. It will never end.

You have an excellent point. My left/lib acquaintances, friends, and relations all seem to believe Palin is dumb. Not just trying to get it over on me. They actually believe it. This allows room for Napoleon’s maxim, “Never interrupt your enemy when he is in the process of making a mistake” to work.
My response to such stuff is to pretend I think they know better, since it’s so obvious they’re actually wrong. And they can’t put that stuff over on ol’ Aubrey, nosirree. He knows better just like you do. Uh. Huh.
Causes confusion. I like that.

That can’t be true, it’s got to be some other person who just sounds like him textually”. But no, it really was him.

What the Left says, isn’t what is true. And if the Left underestimates an enemy, then they will be surprised the same way Republicans are when they underestimate the perfidy and malice of the Left.

The feds just give a 5 year or 10 year elimination of all federal taxes for residents of State YB, and State YB increases state taxes to the point where what would have went into the federal coffers now goes into state coffers. The state treasury then writes up an infrastructure bill for the locals, and this type of local government and authorization is a lot more efficient than one state using federal funds extorted from another state.

This type of solution is something the Left has to pretend doesn’t exist. Because the Left is power mad and wants to hoard all power to themselves.

I don’t think they had a clue that they were dealing with a very strong man, and a smart one too.

They forgot that where there is life, there is hope, and also not to believe in their own propaganda lies.
