Don't know why blogger insists on turning the snap sideways.

What Goes Around Comes Around

Evangelicals and Progressives. Different faces of the same coin, the diminishment of individual freedoms (for our own good, of course).

In 1982, I was a Republican Precinct Committeeman. Evangelicals had taken control of the party, local school boards, city and county offices, and were trying for state and national control; the so-called Silent Majority. They were RIGHT, and, if you opposed them, they would do their best to crush you. Silly sots spent a great deal of effort to field a candidate for Precinct Committeeman, the most trivial of elected offices, and oust me. They won. A few days later I became the Democrat Precinct Committeeman.

In 2002 I witnessed the Progressives taking control of the Democratic Party and kicking all of us Blue Dogs to the curb. No tolerance or concessions to differing views were allowed. Blue Dog, sit in the back of the Big Tent, keep your mouth shut, but do keep your wallet open.

Their beliefs may be in opposition, but their goals are the same; use the force of government and laws to impose their beliefs on the populace at large.

Will the upcoming fall elections be a start of a push back? Or, as detailed in Sipsy Street Irregulars, http://sipseystreetirregulars.blogspot.com/, 4G warfare and the ever popular, "As long as I have my rifle, I still get to vote"?

And, 2016? Hillary? Given her track record of utter ruthlessness, that will surely bring it.

In other news, we had a 3.7 earthquake last night. Rare event in NE Colorado. Watch the ecofreaks blame fracking.

Hillary and Benghazi

Sorry BZ, Hillary will skate. Why? Because her supporters don't care. Please read the blog picture. This is what a whole lot of liberals, especially liberal women, think. In their mind, she is fighting the good fight against male oppression. Facts don't matter. Same mentality holds that criticizing the Lightbringer is racist, because he is black. Winning is the only thing that matters.

The hypocrisy galls me. As long as the "narrative" falls into accepted wants, there is no other standard. If not, look out. Sarah Palin is a strong, accomplished woman. Where is the sisterhood with her? I'm not a big Palin fan, but I do admire what she has accomplished.

Several Progressive women crowed (or should that be cackled?) about how proud they were of Hillary putting the "bullies" in their place when she testified in front of the Senate committee.  Nothing said about her flat out lying.

I would have some respect for her if she had said something along these lines.

"Under my watch, mistakes were made. People died because of these mistakes. I am determined that these mistakes not be repeated."

No, she weaseled. Worse, there is a very good chance she will be out next president.
