Do A Little Dance, Make A Little Love, Get ONT TonightOne week to Thanksgiving folks! Are any of y'all having a big shindig? We're having a few people over.
Elections Have Consequences
On Tuesday evening, the Berkeley County School District in South Carolina swore in the board members who were elected last week, six of whom were endorsed by the conservative activist group Moms for Liberty. Within two hours, the school board had voted to fire the district’s first Black superintendent, terminate the district’s lawyer, ban critical race theory and set up a committee to decide whether certain books and materials should be banned from schools. In addition, the board voted to replace the chair with Mac McQuillin, a local attorney and one of the board members backed by Moms for Liberty. Good for them. The left does this kind of thing all the time. They get elected and they start delivering the policies that their supporters want. We don't so much. Why? Because we don't want to be called mean by the press? Because it's just not polite? It's refreshing to see this kind of thing, good for the moms. I've got a lot of links related to the election, I think I'll just put them all in one section. So, things are looking up in Berkeley, SC. The GOP took the House. Lets look in on how they are doing in DC:
Under the proposed legislation, states would be legally prevented from denying “full faith and credit to any public act, record, or judicial proceeding” with respect to marriages between individuals based on “sex, race, ethnicity, or national origin.” The Democrat-controlled House had previously passed an earlier version of the bill this year, with the help of 47 Republicans. I'm so glad we tried to win the election. As the article notes, Some Republicans Senators are eager to pitch in and help this bill pass, no doubt so they can be seen as “bipartisan”. I'm going to come out and say it: Fuck bipartisan. I want representatives that I vote for to represent, if not every one of my values, most of them. And if that means being in the minority, so be it.
Whatever the motivation of these folks (and I'm not even talking about Democrats, I'm talking about people that are nominally “Republican” ), be it because they are Never Trump, of because they are simps for the GOPe, or because they just don't really like the unruly plebes that make up the R base (it's awl rawther sordid, dontchano), these people are sowing a mighty wind. The legitimacy of the government, of the country, rests upon the twin pillars of peaceful transfer of power and free and fair elections. Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it If we ever reach the point where a majority, or even a large minority, of the People feel that elections are a sham, Kabuki theater to placate the masses, then the whirlwind reaped will be massive indeed. In their blind, short-sighted obsession with hamstringing a specific politician, or with silencing People who hold opinions different from their obviously correct, elitist, “enlightened” own, these erstwhile “conservatives” will indeed have their moment of glory – playing Sampson in the temple. Bah. Enough. Got off on a bit of a rant there. Sorry. Here's one more link.
Since he's in the news lately, here are a trio of articles on Trump and his possible future that are pretty fair. Certainly their authors, VDH, Schlicter and Zito, are not members of the Never Trump cult. There's a lot of questions that need to be answered WRT Trump. Good thing we've got 2 years to do so. Will Trump ride off into the sunset, or play the broken hero? Trump voters are ‘done’ with ex-president: ‘He needs to disappear’ This is THE question on the right that must be answered over the next 12-24 months.
The Crusades are a perfect example. If you speak to any Western person and ask them when did conflicts begin between Muslims and Europeans, they will invariably say the Crusades. In so doing, they expose their ignorance that, in fact, the Crusades were really a drop in the bucket of the totality of warfare between Islam and the West over the course of more than one millennium; and during all of those wars — including the United States of America’s first war as a nation, with “Barbary” — it was the Muslims who were the aggressors. Why else was Islam in Spain, the Balkans, or Russia, for centuries? Finally, when the “mainstream” talks about the historical interaction between the West and Islam, they invariably begin with the colonial era, that is to say, they begin during that brief time span when the West finally became militarily superior to Islam, and therefore can be positioned as the aggressor. Ironically, and in reality, even the early European colonizers were operating within the context of the nonstop, long war between Islam and themselves; in other words, they were trying to reform or at the very least defang the Muslim world. It's an interesting read. I am considering ordering some of the books referenced for a little light reading.
Here’s why the Baltimore Ravens took Amtrak to their games against New York’s teams Interesting look at the logistics of moving a professional sports team to its game each week.
Snuck inside the recently passed $1.2 trillion infrastructure bill—if you can keep track of which bill is which—is a proposal to have a lockout device to be installed in all new cars. Guess I'll be sticking with my old car. Tonight's ONT has been brought to you by Fascists: | Recent Comments
