Wirbel, Perlstein, round up the usual suspects …

Taking the offer or claim at face value, perhaps America could use the help — I doubt it would be an injury to try.

Obama and retinue will be gone someday, their voters will remain.
They’re petulant:
COLORADO ACLU CHAIRMAN RESIGNS AFTER WRITING ABOUT SHOOTING TRUMP SUPPORTERS:

[Loring] Wirbel’s Facebook post read: “The thing is, we have to really reach out to those who might consider voting for Trump and say, ‘This is Goebbels. This is the final solution. If you are voting for him I will have to shoot you before election day.’ They’re not going to listen to reason, so when justice is gone, there’s always force, as Laurie would say.”

“Every time I see a thread about “Liberty” I can’t help but recall my own childhood from the 1950’s and 60’s and compare all the simple freedoms I enjoyed to the ever-more-restrictive and closely monitored lives of the last two generations. Pick up ball games. Leaving home most Saturday mornings knowing that I could go wherever I wanted for as long as I wanted, as long as I was back home by suppertime.

Most of us here are Boomers who had similar childhood freedoms. Now fast forward to the present and imagine the horror you’d have if your own grandchildren attempted to engage in the same childhood pastimes you did.

We’ve come a long way baby.”

Carl,

I’m 77 years old and went to high school in the 50’s so I remember those days as well. When I was 11 years old, I used to go to Dallas Eagles baseball games at night…had to take a bus to downtown Dallas….transferred to a street car to get to the game…and reversed that route to get home at about 11:00PM….all by myself with no adults accompanying me. I used to go to the library in downtown Dallas and spend hours there all alone. I delivered circulars in the worst parts of Dallas in the summers…got there on buses and spent all day doing it…no adults present.

Ah….those were the days…And I really don’t think our lives are better now.

I want to add something that’s somewhat off topic…there’s been a lot of discussion here on this blog about how bad Trump is. I think he’s onto something important…namely the professional political class running things in our government and people getting sick and tired of “political correctness”.

Our founders were from all walks of life…they were NOT professional politicians. And many weren’t lawyers…letting lawyers make our laws is like letting a fox guard the chicken house.

And if you think Trump is bad for our country, the problem isn’t Trump….the problem is our ill informed, unthinking electorate. Until we we get a better electorate (not holding my breath), we won’t have a quality government.

We’re done. Neo may not agree, but so it goes.

Enoch Powell was right warning us 50 years ago about dangers of unrestricted immigration. Rivers of blood lie ahead, and we must cross them on foot, up to throats in it.
It has happened before:
Like the Roman Empire, Europe has let its defences crumble

Key sentence:
At the same time it has opened its gates to outsiders who have coveted its wealth without renouncing their ancestral faith.
Again and again …. tedious.
