The next time you hear some idiot in Congress, the White House, or wherever bleating about &#8220;insurrection,&#8221; keep this quote in mind:</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I know the American People are<i> much</i> attached to their Government.  I know they would suffer<i> much</i> for its sake.  I know they would endure evils long and patiently, before they would ever think of exchanging it for another. Yet, notwithstanding all this, <strong>if the laws be continually despised and disregarded</strong>, if their rights to be secure in their persons and property, are held by no better tenure than the caprice of a mob, <strong>the alienation of their affections from the Government is the natural consequence</strong>; and to that, sooner or later, it must come.</p>
<p>— Abraham Lincoln, 27 January 1838 (<a href="http://www.abrahamlincolnonline.org/lincoln/speeches/lyceum.htm">source</a>)</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Is there a part of the Constitution that regressives aren&#8217;t willing to shred?</p>
<p><a href="http://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2016/03/the-great-free-speech-issue-of-our-time.php">The Great Free Speech Issue of Our Time</a></p>
<blockquote><p>But of course, no one is talking about sending alarmists or their painfully ignorant acolytes–Leo Dicaprio!–to prison. On the other hand, Democrats in Washington want to silence those who have bravely stood against the government-funded monopoly to bring a modicum of truth to the climate debate. The <a href="http://thehill.com/policy/energy-environment/271642-feds-refer-exxon-climate-claims-to-fbi">Hill</a> reports:</p>
<blockquote><p>The decision about whether to investigate ExxonMobil Corporation’s advocacy on climate change is now in the FBI’s hands.</p>
<p>The Department of Justice (DOJ), which received multiple requests to probe Exxon for potential legal action, has sent the case to the FBI for its consideration, it told a pair of Democratic lawmakers.</p>
<p>“As a courtesy, we have forwarded your correspondence to the Federal Bureau of Investigation,” DOJ wrote to Reps. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) and Mark DeSaulnier (D-Calif.), who asked for the probe.</p>
<p>“The FBI is the investigative arm of the department, upon which we rely to conduct the initial fact finding in federal cases. The FBI will determine whether an investigation is warranted,” Peter Kadzik, the assistant attorney general for legislative affairs, wrote.</p></blockquote>
<p>Actually, the oil companies have mostly been bystanders in the climate debate. But the Democrats are trying to deflect attention away from the fact that their global warming theory is crumbling in the face of the facts. The oil companies make convenient scapegoats.</p></blockquote>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hillary barely squeaked out a win in Iowa (and even that result has been called into question by some).  Sanders pwned her in New Hampshire by 20+ points.  How, then, do you explain this?</p>
<p><a href="http://minx.cc:1080/?post=361455">The Candidate of Wall Street Billionaires Has Rigged the Game: Despite One Tie and One Blowout Loss, Clinton Has 394 Delegates to Sanders&#8217; 42</a></p>
<p>My understanding of it is that most of Hillary&#8217;s &#8220;lead&#8221; is in so-called &#8220;superdelegates&#8221; who aren&#8217;t chosen through the usual electoral processes (caucus or primary).  For people who call themselves &#8220;Democrats,&#8221; isn&#8217;t this a rather small-D undemocratic way to pick a candidate?  From the outside looking in, it looks like a way for the party bosses to pick the candidate <strong>they</strong> want, and to hell with what their rank-and-file want.  I understand they might have concerns with Bernie Sanders&#8217; nonexistent electability (to say nothing of the fact that he actually wasn&#8217;t even one of them until fairly recently), but maybe they should&#8217;ve addressed those concerns early enough that they could&#8217;ve offered up a few more choices.  That, of course, would require that the fix is not already in.</p>
<p>This election should be the Republicans&#8217; to lose.  The only fly in the ointment is that the Republicans have in recent years made a science out of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.  Whether the Democrats end up nominating the communist or the crook, GOP ineptitude could still give them more of a shot at winning than they deserve.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When will enough be enough?  Send these goons back to the political wilderness where they belong:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.nationalreview.com/article/428793/democrats-and-totalitarianism-2016">The Democrats’ Theme for 2016 Is Totalitarianism</a></p>
<blockquote><p>At the beginning of December, Rolling Stone writer Jeff Goodell asked Secretary of State John Kerry whether Charles and David Koch, two libertarian political activists, should be considered — his remarkable words — “an enemy of the state.” He posed the same question about Exxon, and John Kerry, who could have been president of these United States, said that <strong>he looked forward to the seizure of Exxon’s assets for the crime of “proselytizing” impermissibly about the question of global warming. </strong></p>
<p>An enemy of the state? That’s the Democrats’ theme for the New Year: totalitarianism.</p>
<p>Donald Trump may talk like a brownshirt, but the Democrats mean business. For those of you keeping track, the Democrats and their allies on the left have now: <a href="https://www.americancommitment.org/content/democrats-repeal-first-amendment" target="_blank">voted in the Senate to repeal the First Amendment</a>, proposed <a href="http://lastresistance.com/5068/professor-global-warming-deniers-imprisoned-criminal-negligence/" target="_blank">imprisoning people for holding the wrong views on global warming</a>, <a href="http://conservativepapers.com/news/2015/04/25/hillary-clinton-exposed-movie-she-had-banned-from-theaters-full-movie/" target="_blank">sought to prohibit the showing of a film critical of Hillary Rodham Clinton</a>, proposed <a href="http://www.qando.net/2014/02/27/that-outdated-concept-called-academic-freedom/" target="_blank">banning politically unpopular academic research</a>, demanded that funding politically unpopular organizations and causes be made a <a href="https://theconversation.com/is-misinformation-about-the-climate-criminally-negligent-23111" target="_blank">crime</a> and that the <a href="http://www.weeklystandard.com/senator-use-rico-laws-to-prosecute-global-warming-skeptics/article/963007" target="_blank">RICO organized-crime statute</a> be used as a weapon against targeted political groups. They have filed felony charges against a Republican governor for vetoing a piece of legislation, engaged in <a href="http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/417245/democrats-defend-political-persecutions-texas-kevin-d-williamson" target="_blank">naked political persecutions</a> of members of Congress, and used the IRS and the ATF as weapons against political critics.</p></blockquote>
