I’ve Lived Too Long

There was a republican debate last night. From what I read, it got pretty contentious. In the end, it really won’t matter much. The cancer known as The Great Society that was inflicted on us by Lyndon Johnson has spread to all corners. The country was so strong, it took decades to succumb to the evil of socialism. First, breaking up the family by replacing the father with a welfare check. Then came free love, drug use became popular and to a large extent accepted. The leftists who protested the Vietnam War and spit on returning soldiers are now democrat politicians, newspaper editors, and college professors. They have done yeoman’s work spreading the disease with help from a union of teachers more concerned with tenure than actually teaching. Poor kids are trapped in failing schools because the liberals want no part of charter schools where a poor kid could have a chance of breaking the grip of dependency that keeps the left in control of everything.

Still, we managed to barely keep our heads above the rising floodwaters of taxation, regulation, and the terminal disease known as Barack Hussein Obama. I had hoped that by the time the communists took control of the Supreme Court I wouldn’t be here to see it. That hope was dashed yesterday with the passing of Antonin Scalia. I’m sure Barack got a diamond-hard erection when he found out he will now complete his sorry legacy with the permanent shift of the Supreme Court for the rest of time. Exploding deficits, nationalized healthcare, 100 million on the government dole, flooding the country with enough illegal voters-in-waiting for a permanent democrat tyranny, the rise of Islamic terrorism worldwide, and the forced participation of Christians in the debauchery of a homosexual lifestyle.

If you think you know how deep into the sewer the leftards can sink, you’re not even close. If you’ve read any comments already, I’m sorry. If you haven’t, consider yourself lucky. I’ll never post any of it here, I love the people too much. It is beyond vile. The DNC is already fundraising off his death. Hillary made the comment that republicans would “dishonor” the Constitution if they didn’t give Obama what he wants. If anybody embodies dishonor, it’s the Clintons. Obama plans to name a successor shortly, probably within a few weeks. Then the charade will begin. McConnell is claiming there will not be a vote until after a new president is elected. The whiny little pissant Harry Reid is already complaining about how awful it would be to delay the vote. Remember, he’s the one who unilaterally changed the rules from a super majority to a simple majority to force through hundreds of Barry’s hand-picked stooges for the courts. We all know how that’s going to end up. I had a number of links, but I’ve decided not to post any at this time. I’m having surgery on my other eye tomorrow, so it may be a time before I post again.

Ben Shapiro,writing for Breitbart had the same notion as I did on hearing the news yesterday:

scalia

Antonin Scalia’s Death Could Mark End of Constitution
Unlike Kennedy, Scalia represented a consistent vote for a Constitution beyond modern progressive power politics. But with his death, President Obama now has the power to appoint a fifth justice to join hard-left social engineers Elena Kagan, Sonia Sotomayor, Stephen Breyer, and Ruth Bader Ginsburg. If the Republican Senate allows President Obama to select Scalia’s successor, the left will have a complete monopoly on the Supreme Court. Within the next few years, Citizens United will be overturned, restoring limits on free speech; the Supreme Court will render the Second Amendment meaningless by reinterpreting the right to bear arms as a non-personal right; freedom of religion will be made subservient to same-sex marriage and abortion priorities; the death penalty will be ruled unconstitutional; unions will be allowed to continue confiscating the dollars of people who disagree with them politically; redistricting along leftist lines will return. Scalia ensured that the Supreme Court wasn’t a transformative institution; now it will become the chief tool in the left’s arsenal.

It’s a sad commentary on the state of conservative politics that the only thing standing between the United States and the death of its founding document was a brilliant 79-year-old jurist. But unless Republicans stand up on their hind legs now, that will certainly be the case.

OUR CONSTITUTION DIED TODAY

IT’S OVER. ONE OF THE FEW REMAINING CONSTITUTIONALISTS ON THE SUPREME COURT PASSED AWAY TODAY.
Supreme Court Justice Scalia dies

Scalia, who was 79, was the longest-serving justice on the high court. His death is sure to trigger a pitched political battle in Washington, with President Obama likely to nominate a successor before the November elections.

OUR SECOND AMENDMENT RIGHTS WILL BE BUT A MEMORY SOON. THE BASTARD IN THE WHITE HOUSE WILL GET THE MOST RADICAL COMMUNIST JUDGE HE CAN FIND.

Saturday Don’t Matterday

Consider this an ode to my bestest buddy who is recovering.

If anybody’s interested, there’s a republican debate in South Carolina tonight. As in New Hampshire, the GOP-e is denying tickets to Trump and Cruz supporters. They’re hoping to revive Jeb’s flagging campaign or, at the very least, support Rubio. I have always preferred reading the reviews the next day rather than waste any time on the event itself.

I was enjoying my usual nap after work this morning when suddenly one of the smoke alarms started chirping periodically. Not steady, but enough to keep me from going back to sleep. I couldn’t get the cover off to take out the battery so I ripped it out of the ceiling. VICTORY!

It’s the Bernie and Hilly Show!

Last night was another sorry display of the utter contempt the left has for our electoral process.The “moderators” were a pair of useless hacks named Gwen I-need-a-re-Fill and Al Hunt’s old lady, hereafter known as AHOL.

PBS’ Donor-Moderator Fails to Ask Hillary About Clinton Foundation

Co-moderator Judy Woodruff happens to be a donor to the Clinton Foundation, and faced criticism from the PBS ombudsman in 2015 for giving to the Clintons.

Woodruff is one of several journalists who has contributed to the Clinton Foundation, which has been criticized as a “slush fund” for the Clintons’ own expenses, rather than on direct giving to charitable programs. Neither Woodruff nor co-moderator Gwen Ifill broached the subject. Clinton’s rival, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), has also declined to criticize her for her emails and potential conflicts of interest.

Sanders Sounds Off On Hillary: “You Aren’t In The White House Yet”

Then came this moment during a discussion on the two candidates’ plans to expand government. Fed up with Clinton’s arrogant air of assumption she will be the nominee, Sanders reminded her of one thing:

‘That is a low blow’: Democratic debate derails after Hillary torches Bernie over past Obama criticism

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vermont) had a terse back-and-forth near the end of the Thursday-night Democratic presidential debate, during which Sanders accused Clinton of a “low blow.”

Clinton took an opportunity to rip Sanders over his past criticism of President Barack Obama.

In an NBC interview that aired Thursday, Sanders took a slight dig at Obama, suggesting he failed to close the “presidential leadership gap” between Congress and the American public.

Moderators Have Still Not Asked Democrats One Question About Abortion

Sen. Marco Rubio’s best moment at the Feb. 6 Republican presidential debate in New Hampshire didn’t come in the form of an answer, but a question:

“Why doesn’t the media ask Hillary Clinton why she believes that all abortions should be legal, even on the due date of that unborn child,” he said.

On CBS’ “Face the Nation,” Clinton responded to Rubio by calling his comment “pathetic” and proceeded to give a non-answer about her record of advocating for “safe and legal” abortion.

Just a Couple Funnies

Maybe I’ll do some regular stuff after a while….when I can deal with it.

My wife and I went to the state fair and one of the first exhibits we stopped at was the breeding bulls. We went up to the first pen and there was a sign attached that said, “THIS BULL MATED 50 TIMES LAST YEAR”

My wife playfully nudged me in the ribs and said, “He mated 50 times last year.”

We walked to the second pen which had a sign attached that said, ”THIS BULL MATED 150 TIMES LAST YEAR”

My wife gave me a healthy jab and said, “WOW~That’s more than twice a week! You could learn a lot from him.”

We walked to the third pen and it had a sign attached that said, “THIS BULL MATED 365 TIMES LAST YEAR”

My wife was so excited that her elbow nearly broke my ribs, and said, “That’s once a day.You could REALLY learn something from this one.”

I looked at her and said, “Go over and ask him if it was with the same old cow.”

My condition has been upgraded from critical to stable and I should eventually make a full recovery.

Thursday’s News and Views

First, thanks to Almighty God to hear our Chrissy is OK. She’s home resting and has been too weak to write. We will continue to pray until she is back with us. Also, prayers for Bluebird to get her furnace fixed soon. Where she lives in Wisconsin is no place to be without heat in February. Her only alternative is to huddle under a thick quilt with all her grandcats. They’ll keep her warm.

The South Carolina primary is Tuesday and The Bitch and The Bern are putting on a pathetic display of pandering to the plantation-dwelling, welfare-sucking  constituency that reside in that state. Word is, they’ve made their deals: Sanders is meeting with Rev. Al Sharptongue and promised to write off the $5 million in back taxes he owes. Hillary! has promised St. Skittles’ birth mammy NOT to try singing old Negro spirituals.

Hillary Clinton to Campaign with the Mothers of Trayvon Martin and Eric Garner
Sources say she will hone her message on systematic racism and criminal justice reform.

Senator Bernie Sanders won the New Hampshire primary last night, beating out Hillary Clinton with almost 60% of the vote. According to a report from Politico this morning, the loss is causing the Clinton campaign to re-focus their attention on racial injustice and criminal justice reform.

In addition, Clinton will be hitting the campaign trail with Sybrina Fulton and Gwen Carr, who are the mothers of Trayvon Martin and Eric Garner respectively. Both Fulton and Carr endorsed Clinton last month, citing their faith in Hillary’s stance on gun violence.

John Lewis Slams Bernie’s Civil Rights Activism: ‘I Never Saw Him’

THE CONGRESSMAN WITH A PENIS FOR A HEAD: I AIN’T SEE NO JEW CRACKA ON THE BUS! HILLARY PROMISE US SOME REPIMICATIONS.
Sanders has noted that he participated in the March on Washington and was arrested while he was a student at the University of Chicago when he tried to desegregate housing at the university and the surrounding neighborhoods.

“To be very frank, I never saw him. I never met him,” Lewis said in response to a question about Sanders’s civil rights advocacy. He pointed out that he met both Clintons during the civil rights era.

The Ash Wednesday Post

This is normally the time Chrissy would post some significant thoughts on Catholicism and the church. Unfortunately being an alleged member of the Church of the Nazarene we don’t observe Lent. We mostly do the biggies like Easter and Christmas. The only reason for my membership is as a shining example that God has a twisted sense of humor.

Ashes to Ashes

If there ever is a day of the year when you can spot Catholics at a glance, Ash Wednesday is it. It is the one time when Catholics literally wear their faith on their foreheads. In fact, Masses on Ash Wednesday are better attended than Masses on most holy days, except Christmas.

Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of Lent for Catholics. The ashes we receive on our forehead in the shape of a cross serve as an outward sign of our sinfulness and need for penance. The ashes also symbolize our mortality, a reminder that one day we will die and our bodies will return to dust. Hence the traditional words, “Remember that thou art dust and unto dust thou shalt return.”

The tradition of receiving ashes has its origins in the Old Testament, where sinners performed acts of public penance. It was Pope Urban II who in the 11th century recommended that all Catholics take part in the practice of receiving ashes on Ash Wednesday. In the 12th century it became customary that the ashes used on Ash Wednesday were made by burning the previous year’s palm branches.

Ash Wednesday is also a day of fasting and abstinence for Catholics. According to Church law, Catholics older than the age of 14 are supposed to abstain from meat. In addition, those between the ages of 18 and 59, not including pregnant or nursing mothers, should eat only one full meal. Smaller amounts of food, not as much as a full meal, may be eaten in the morning and either at lunchtime or dinner, depending on when you eat your full meal.

The only thing that rankles me is seeing a flaming hypocrite like Nazi Pelousy walking around showing off the ashes on her botox-swollen forehead.

New Hampshire Primary Thread

The early returns from Dixville Notch, NH:
With 100% of the votes tallied (9)
Sanders-4 votes
Kasich-3 votes
Trump-2 votes

Sanders is expected to handily defeat The Bitch. This is his back yard. What remains to be seen is how wide his appeal is outside the liberal armpit of the Northeast. On the Republican side, Trump is still the heavy favorite. The real battle is reported to be for second place between Rubio, Kasich, and…wait for it…Jeb! The South Carolina contest is next week and the country should have a little better feel about how deep the shit we’re going to be in by then.

Where’s Chrissy?

It’s been more than 4 years since I was granted the privilege of posting here. In all that time the one constant has been the best friend I’ll never meet, CtH. She is far and away the most prolific producer of quality material. It’s been since Jan. 31 since anybody’s heard from her. If anybody can make contact, please speak up. We all care about her and the crew here in the bunkhouse are sending up prayers for her welfare. I will try to continue in her stead, but what I do is a poor substitute for her talent.

Just a couple videos from the Republican debate Saturday night. The Crisco Kid whined that the GOP was ‘hiding’ it the night before the Super bowl. Turns out it drew three times the viewers of the Bern and Cankles Show.

Clearly, the biggest loser of the debate was new establishment darling Amnesty McRubio. Gov. Krispy Kreme hammered him mercilessly and some polls have him at 19% and falling.

Robot Marco Rubio: I’ll Keep Repeating My Rehearsed and Poll-Tested Lines

Establishment media darling Senator Marco Rubio embarrassed himself at the ABC GOP Debate on Saturday night.
Rubio couldn’t stop repeating his rehearsed lines and sounded like a broken record.

FOX News put together a montage of Marco Rubio’s rehearsed Obama line at tonight’s GOP Debate.
Marco used the same rehearsed line 5 times at debate.

On Sunday Marco Rubio said he’d keep repeating his rehearsed lines… keep repeating his rehearsed lines… keep repeating his rehearsed lines…

Hillary’s close personal friend and sorry excuse for a “journo-list”Martha Redass was on display trying to beat up on what may be the Butchers’ most serious opponent.

Ted Cruz Shuts Down Martha Raddatz’s Cheap Gotcha on North Korea

Barack Obama’s personal friend then interrupted:

RADDATZ: Senator Cruz you have talked tough about this, you have talked tough about the Mideast — you haven’t gotten intelligence briefings about that. Why not tell us if you would pre-emptively strike a missile on a lunch pad that threatened the U.S.?

At this point, Cruz shut Raddatz down:

CRUZ: With due respect, I have gotten intelligence briefings on the Mideast. Those have been going on for many years. I haven’t gotten the intelligence briefings tonight on what North Korea is doing because I’m here in New Hampshire. And when you are responding to an immediate incident, you need to know the intelligence of what’s occurring.

Annual Super Bowl Commercial Revue

In fill disclosure, we do not watch too much network television in the bunkhouse, so we haven’t seen any previews. However, with dogged determination I slogged through a number of them on youtube and picked just a few.
In 1971, a 30-second spot cost $42,000….. this year it’s about 5 million.

The first one is actually three 30-second spots. The first one is really cute.
