How does it feel?

The Roman Catholics also used money to substitute for the work of saving souls. If you paid the Pope enough once upon a time, he could guarantee the salvation of your soul on this Earth.

The idea that one must do the work and not just throw money at a problem that never gets fixed, no matter how much money people throw at it, is something people don’t like to think about. It would involve doing something direct. Getting dirty. Fixing police corruption personally.

If GamerGate was about a bunch of people using class action lawsuits, that would be merely a victory for the lawyer bars and associations.

But Hillary victory means “Democratic Party Royals” are above the law.

I can imagine a situation where the FBI could reason that, so long as the unvarnished facts are placed in front of the voters in time for them to take those facts into consideration in making their voting decision, it would not be proper for the FBI to indict a candidate just before an election. Not all indictments (O. J.) however conclusive the evidence, result in a conviction. Indicting a candidate during an election should result in the defeat of that candidate thus depriving the voters of their choice.

Given the pardoning and other powers of a President the decision is less clear when the contest is for the Presidency. Something that could be settled by a personal meeting on the tarmac of an airport, perhaps?

“In the final minute of the video, Gowdy pays an emotional tribute to the FBI based on his experience. He draws a contrast between the FBI he worked with and the one that is visible in the apparent anomalies in the FBI’s investigation of the Clinton case. “That is not the FBI that I used to work with,” Gowdy says.

Gowdy struck a nerve. Dropping his mask of impassivity, Comey indignantly responds: “I hope someday when this political craziness is over you will look back again on this because this is the FBI you know and love. This was done by pros in the right way. That’s the part I have no patience for.””

In denial, much?

I may be channeling Eric but this defeatism has to stop. Instead of decrying all the awfulness of the Obamites and the Democrats to come, Neo, how about putting your mind to ways to stop them?

I have been reading Theodore Beale’s (aka Vox Day) book SJWs always lie and despicable though Beale is, the book at least give some methods by which the Left in some small ways has been defeated. He describes the Gamergate tactics that were able to seriously damage SJW gamer websites by targeting their sponsors. Ultimately one of the gamergaters’ largest targets, gawker.com, was totally destroyed albeit with the help of a lawsuit by Peter Thiel.

Each of us has to find our own ‘activism’ or take responsibility for our inaction. For me, it involves donating the small amounts I can directly to political candidates that may make a difference. Here in CA, i am donating to swing assembly and senate seats to try to keep the Demcrats from gaining a supermajority. Nationwide, I am donating to swing senate races particularly to Joe Heck in Nevada since that is a relatively small media market where small donations can make a difference.

I will also start writing emails to sponsors of particularly egregious political reports on local television and radio stations.

It is fun to complain but more satisfying to do something about the problem.
