signing in.

And last… “Remember when over 100 newspapers agreed to run editorials on the same day defending a free press against Obama after he spied on AP, hacked [Sharyl] Attkisson, got phone records of one reporter, while trying to jail another? Me neither.” —Twitter satirist @hale_razor   [Plucked from the pages of my favorite patriots...@thepatriotpost//thank you guys; perhaps I never would have discovered this hale razor otherwise]

and oh how do i love thee, let me count the ways...

seems to capture the essence of everything in 160 characters or less in a compound all his own.

Hail to this hale razor....and don't even get me started on the clever twitter handle

If I actually used twitter, I would follow this guy to the ends of the earth and back again, no question about it. But I hate twitter.  [oops can I even say that out loud]

And this one:

You know a Republican is in the White House when GDP growth & unemployment are both at 4%, Germany blocks $400M to Iran, and the news is all about Omarosa.

All the while, this is how hale razor defines itself.... "Conservative politics humor. Satire. Snark. Sarcasm. Succinctness. Brevity is the soul - nay, the very essence and entire being - of wit, irony, and jocularity"

but hale, enough about the boy

let's talk about the message....short, snarky, spot on, and sensational, is this girl's take, no fake.

The thing is -- if one happens to be a conservative -- the enemy of the state is THIS MAINSTREAM MEDIA.  They aren't even trying to hide their liberal bent; unbiased journalism -- delivering real news and nothing but the news -- is just not found on CNN, NBC, CBS, ABC, MSNBC; it's just not there.  The mainstream and left leaning cable news outlets, and newspapers, and leftist elite, have, in fact, come together, like a media cartel, to destroy this presidency......even if they have to ignore the upward trajectory of the economy, even if they have to stoop below the belt to focus on the sensational stories -- like the Omarosa propaganda tour to sell books, or the fake collusion with the Russians to effect the actual outcome of the 2016 election,  even if they have to cover dueling protests only to favor the leftist position.   It's like, seriously?

Who's acting more like fascists?   It's the LEFT; for they consider any opposing view an enemy of their state.

Um let's define fascist, shall we  -- google?  --  "A fascist is a follower of a political philosophy characterized by authoritarian views and a strong central government — and no tolerance for opposing opinions. Fascist traces to the Italian word fascio, meaning "group, bundle." Under fascist rule, the emphasis is on the group — the nation — with few individual rights."

Can I remind you of what the Right thinks of a strong, central government?  Um, it's like poison, okay; a strong, central government is like the opposite of what any conservative would tell you as being essential.  True conservatives, and most libertarians, by the way, would tell you they want LESS government, no matter if we are talking central, state, or the local level.

True conservatives would tell you they want more debate, more opinion, more ideas, more discussion of the best possible solutions to the nation's issues and governmental abuses...and above all else, they fully support good self-government, organically grown self-reliance (preferably taught through a strong family dynamic), and less government authority over our lives, not more.

The problem with the left...teehee....(um lordy, let me count the ways and allow me to narrow it down into a twitter post format):  is their lack of respect of true individual rights across the board; they only support your rights to speak, protest, congregate, teach, etc. if you align front and center with the Left's ideology.  Any other ideology is shouted down, berated, ignored, bullied, protested with foul words and billy clubs and masks covering their identities.

To the Left, the notion that our foundation is based upon individual rights, divined by God, our Creator, entirely self-evident and indiscriminate, is, in and of itself, an enemy of its state, its nation, its group.  In other words, the Left would have you  believe that a strong, central government is the new god, the giver, the sugar-daddy, the one who has your best interests at heart, allowing government to usurp whatever religion, idol, security, you may follow, whether dependently or independently.  Moreover, to say that our individual rights come from God is near blasphemy to the average leftist.

From the sacred text of our Declaration of Independence:  "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."  And yet, because we are surrounded in a sea of free will -- nothing, nothing is guaranteed; for we are essentially dependent upon the right action of our fellow human beings all along the way.

But suffice it to say, the nature of our republic was designed around what our founders called Nature's Law, or Natural Law -- the UNALIENABLE rights endowed by our Creator.  A number of these are not even mentioned within the Declaration of Independence....the right of self-government, the right of free assembly, the right to bear arms in self-defense, the right to petition, the right of free conscience, the right to enjoy the fruits of one's labor, the right to choose a profession, the right to explore the natural resources of the earth.....and on and on and on.

I wrote about this next guy before...thinking circa 2012, but don't quote me on that... Frederic Bastiat -- he's just a freedom activist from France, circa some hundred and fifty years ago, or so -- but no matter, let's go for another round, imagining Bastiat on twitter today:

“Life, liberty, and property do not exist because men have made laws. On the contrary, it was the fact that life, liberty, and property existed beforehand that caused men to make laws in the first place.”

Here's another, although its clearly at risk of running over the character limit:

“Now, legal plunder can be committed in an infinite number of ways. Thus we have an infinite number of plans for organizing it: tariffs, protection, benefits, subsidies, encouragements, progressive taxation, public schools, guaranteed jobs, guaranteed profits, minimum wages, a right to relief, a right to the tools of labor, free credit, and so on, and so on.”

And this definitely runs amuck on the twitter limitations, but oh well, there is only freedom to speak and write and think and blog here  --

 “Life Is a Gift from God.

We hold from God the gift which includes all others. This gift is life -- physical, intellectual, and moral life. 

But life cannot maintain itself alone. The Creator of life has entrusted us with the responsibility of preserving, developing, and perfecting it. In order that we may accomplish this, He has provided us with a collection of marvelous faculties. And He has put us in the midst of a variety of natural resources. By the application of our faculties to these natural resources we convert them into products, and use them. This process is necessary in order that life may run its appointed course. 

Life, faculties, production--in other words, individuality, liberty, property -- this is man. And in spite of the cunning of artful political leaders, these three gifts from God precede all human legislation, and are superior to it."

amen to that, amen to that

God precedes, and reigns superior, over everything, seen or unseen, and especially, to all human legislation......no matter the sways of the political pendulum.

Which, with certain, is surely a context the media should heed; this is exactly how the mainstream media cartel/collective should be interpreting their job.  Fair and balanced reporting of the news must aim for the dissemination of such news to be fully impartial, nonpartisan, objective, and without a hint of sensationalism.   [And please note: there is a difference between opinion journalism, and the news reporter, k.]

And so what we have here today -- having been given the latitude to evolve handsomely over the last couple of decades, at least -- is an out of control, wanton, corrupt, enemy of the state for the common good, media.  And this nefarious activity, with enough new hybrid power to destroy a republic teetering upon extinction,  must be stopped.

Here's one more tweet, teehee, from Bastiat:

“Why don't you reform yourselves? 

That task would be sufficient enough.”

oh how do I love thee, let me count the ways; pretty sure I should have married an economist who thinks like a Bastiat, just sayin.   "Why don't you reform yourselves"...oh my hot stuff, THAT is something fierce.

anywho,
back to the top and hale razor, from yesterday's tweets -- here's one more and one more for the road:

"MSM would be wall-to-wall about Siraj Ibn Wahhaj training kids to use assault rifles to commit school shootings, but he doesn't belong to the NRA."

"Wahhaj identified himself as “the son of the famous Muslim Imam Siraj Wahhaj” in a 2006 federal court filing obtained by the Associated Press." 

Read this and ask yourself, does the media tell you everything you need to know?  does it?  does it?

Alrighty then, think this girl is done and done.

the end.

Make it a Good Day, G
