R.J. Rushdoony was asking this question in the 1980s and 90s, before we had anything like “transgender” to contend with–to say nothing of “world is gonna end!” climate change, or a “Green New Deal.”

This essay can be found in a collection, Our Threatened Freedom, published in 2015 and featuring some nooze gems that will tax your power to believe it. Like the four or five full-time agents assigned to bust a little boy who was selling fishing worms without a license. I helped edit the book, and wrote the cover blurb, so I take an interest in it.

Meanwhile, I think the answer to Rushdoony’s question is, “You bet we are–and you ain’t seen nothin’ yet!”

REPRINT Loony Lib Deletes Green New Deal from Her Website

Well, that was fast!

Twenty-something Congresswoman, former bartender, and all-around yonk Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez lit up the national chat room last Thursday, Feb. 7, by posting a “Green New Deal” that was certainly one of the most bizarre documents ever to seep out of American politics. After a day of incredulity, mockery, and concern for the bozo’s mental health, the post was deleted from the page on the night of Feb. 7 (https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2019/02/why_was_the_green_new_deal_yanked_from_ocasiocortezs_website.html).

Among the provisions that got the most flak was 1) to pay a guaranteed income to persons “unwilling to work,” 2) to abolish air travel and replace it with “high-speed rail” [to Europe?], and 3) to tear down every building in America and replace it with a new one.

Well, yeah, that’s pretty crazy stuff, all right. Rubber room material for sure. Cuckoo for cocoa puffs.

So they wiped it off the website and are trying to pretend it was never there, or maybe it was but Republican hackers planted it, or it was just a rough draft that wasn’t supposed to be published, blah-blah-blah. Ocrazyo-Cortez reminds us that “the real one”–apparently there’s a “real Green New Deal” somewhere that doesn’t include any howling at the moon–has “70 co-sponsors in the House of Representatives” and has been endorsed by every single one of  a dozen Democrat presidential candidates. I guess “the real one” only confiscates our cars, brings back Obamacare, and makes us all Citizens Of The World, subject to United Nations supervision… ‘Cause we’re just deplorables and we all need supervision, dontcha know.

So they reached out to steal a marshmallow and got their fingers burned: snatch ’em back, put ’em in your mouth, and try again a little later.

A little bit here, a little bit there, and eventually they’ve got us where they want us–pressed face-down to the floor, with their boots on our necks.

But it’s all To Save The P*L*A*N*E*T! So that makes it necessary.

They’re All Crazy REPRINT

Hey! Remember that “fundamental transformation” of America that Obama and his playmates wanted to do? Well, it’s baaaaaaaaack!

Yesterday we likened the Democrats’ “Green New Deal,” as pitched to us by first-year Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-The Twilight Zone), to a bubbling vat of pure lunacy. Now we discover that she’s not alone: the whole party’s diving in (https://www.yahoo.com/news/alexandria-ocasio-cortez-green-deal-195205387.html?.tsrc=jtc_news_index).

Tear down every single building in America, and rebuild it. Replace air travel with high-speed rail–damn the oceans, full speed ahead. Guaranteed government jobs for everyone. Guaranteed universal basic income. Medicare for All. All jobs to be unionized. No more privately-owned cars.

Would you believe it? Introduced to Congress as a resolution, not a bill, this bilge, this poppycock, this flagrantly unconstitutional horses***, now has nine co-sponsors in the Senate, 64 in the House of Representatives, and has been endorsed by all of the Democrats’ 2020 presidential hopefuls–repeat, all of them.

See, we’ve got “to transform the economy and combat the devastating effects of climate change” and “the danger of extreme weather events” and also get rid of “income inequality” while we’re at it… Yowsah, the government’s going to guarantee good weather!

They’re all crazy. They’ve all drunk crazy juice. The whole flamin’ party.

How about it, America? Are you happy now, that you’ve allowed these wack-jobs to take the House of Representatives? “Oh, well, as long as they tear down my house and take away my car last–!” I mean, do we really have to answer all this crazy crapola? You can’t see anything wrong with it? It doesn’t bother you that a whole national political party has signed on to it?

The scariest part of all is that for some reason, these people no longer feel the need to masquerade as sane. For ages they’ve passed themselves off as “moderate.” Now they’ve torn off the mask and thrown it away.

That scares me.

A Bubbling Vat of Total Lunacy REPRINT

Straitjacket ready!

Okay, sure, Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is ha-ha funny. Her “Green New Deal” made me laugh so hard, I almost tipped over and capsized. You’ll hardly believe what’s in it (https://www.atr.org/green-new-deal-air-travel-stops-becoming-necessary).

But really, it’s not that funny to be governed by idiots.

Here are the highlights she provided in an interview on National Public Radio. I didn’t know they had a comedy hour.

Rebuild every single building in the U.S. How do you even answer that?

Phase out all air travel in just ten years, and replace it with high-speed rail. What? Take a train to Europe? Last I heard, the Atlantic Ocean’s in the way. That’s that bunch of water you can see from New York, if you look thataway. Geography not her strong suit.

Government-guaranteed jobs for all. Really? Do we get to pick what job we want, or will the government pick it for us? Ocasio-Cortez calls herself “pro-choice,” so that probably means they’ll make the choice for you. That’s what it usually means.

Universal basic income. Paid for by _________? Don’t ask.

Medicare-for-All. As long as we’re spending money, we might as well spend all of it. The government can always print some more.

All new jobs to be unionized. Another choice they’ll make for you.

“Massive government intervention,” she says, will see us successfully through this period of adjustment. Like when they tear your house down and assign you to your new job of shining some politician’s shoes.

As for the total cost of all this joy… “Shut up,” she explained.

So, yeah, it’s funny–but it’s also not so funny. This breathtakingly stupid woman sits up there on Capitol Hill and wants to craft public policy. It’s hard to believe anyone could be so ignorant without being totally staring daft, too. And it’s alarming to note that she’s one of the stars of the Democrat Far Left Crazy Party… that just won an election last year and now controls the House of Representatives.

If that doesn’t scare you–well, it should. Yes, it should.

Electric Car? Get Out and Push!

West Virginia Coal Miners Help Tourists Push Their Dead Electric Car

Say hey! How do you run your electric car when you can’t get it recharged? Like, if you live in California and there’s no electricity available.

Well, you do the environmentally sustainable, real Green New Deal thing–you push it!

A tourist in West Virginia recently suffered an electric car conk-out… and half a dozen coal miners pushed it to the mine to get recharged (https://www.foxbusiness.com/technology/west-virginia-coal-miners-help-tourists-push-dead-electric-car).

But why get it recharged at all? You’re missing a bet here, Greenies! What could be more environmentally sustainable than pushing the car? Not only that: if cars were all to be pushed, at, say, two miles per hour, think of the effect on highway safety! No more fatal accidents! I’m telling you, this is even better than having your solar panels underground. And if you had enough people to do it, you could also push buses, trucks, and even trains! Airplanes might be a problem, though. And ships.

Imagine all the cars in America, powered currently by gasoline or electricity, getting pusedh along–no pollution! No five-car pile-ups!

Or we could just, like, go nowhere anymore…

(P.S.–They couldn’t tow the car because the electric cars have plastic undersides that fall apart if you tow them.)

This’ll Work! Underground Solar Panels!

The solar panel toxic waste problem - CFACT

They’ll be even better underground!

Is there anybody in SloJo Biden’s traveling freak show who’s not an idiot, a villain, or both?

Discussing energy policy with the “president” who’d just labeled at least half the country’s population “a threat to our democracy,” the Commerce Secretary came up with a brilliant idea: “We’re going to do solar installations on an industrial scale for abandoned coal mines.” She did not specify how they would install thousands of solar panels on abandoned coal mines. If you store them on top of the mines, well, you don’t need abandoned coal mines for that, you can do that anywhere. So is she proposing to set up the solar installations underground? Like, in the mines?

It’ll be part of their, ahem, “American Rescue Plan.”

So far the only thing they’re rescuing us from is sanity.

Oh, yes–the coal mines will be abandoned because we won’t use fossil fuel anymore, Green New Deal, y’know. We will meet all our energy needs by burning money.

Maybe we should make new coal mines on top of the ground, if we’re going to put the solar panels underground.

P.S.–I have just read that used-up solar panels constitute an enormous toxic waste disposal problem.

I don’t think they’ve thought this through. Do you?

His Rats Can Play Monopoly!

Really Bad Idea: Rat Monopoly | Monopoly, Rats, Bad

There’s a man in Xi Jin Ping City, California, who has taught his two pet rats to play Monopoly. They learned while they were waiting to vote for Joe Biden in our national election.

“Ozzie and Bozzie have gotten pretty good at this game,” says their owner, Charlie Honesty. “They can beat me almost half the time. But Bozzie has a thing about developing his property too fast, and Ozzie takes the Railroads a bit too seriously. A really smart player can skin them all the time.”

Mr. Honesty grew up on the same Indian reservation as Sen. Elizabeth Warren. “I learned a lot from her,” he recalls. “Her name was Loose Papoose back then. No one ever admitted to being her mother.”

Mr. Honesty has a goldfish who wants to go to Washington and help pass the Green New Deal. “It’s just a matter of getting her elected,” he says. “I know a lot of fictitious people who say they’d vote for her. A lot of illegal aliens, too. We all love to see a goldfish helping to shape public policy.”

His proudest moment came several weeks ago, when a lifelike cardboard facsimile of Gov. Gavin Newsom was left at his front door. Blushing shyly, he now admits, “I had him in my living room for three days before I realized that he wasn’t real! But it’s the thought that counts.”

Here the AP News story ends abruptly.

Democrats–and ‘The Deplorable Word’

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

Jadis | The Chronicles of Narnia Wiki | Fandom

(I’ve got to write a Newswithviews column today, and I guess I might as well go with this as my topic. But first let me see if I can make it go. Consider this a preview.)

In the Chronicle of Narnia called The Magician’s Nephew, by C.S. Lewis, we learn of a world called Charn where two queens once battled for supremacy. As she was about to lose the battle, Queen Jadis spoke a magic spell, The Deplorable Word, which wiped out every living thing on Charn.

It makes me wonder: are the Democrats getting desperate enough to speak their Deplorable Word? Like, “If we can’t rule America, then let there be no America!”

Look at their policy proposals. The Green New Deal, which would bankrupt the country and plunge its people into poverty. More lockdowns. A pledge to destroy the oil industry–which, if done, would leave us without the energy needed to sustain modern life. A scheme to pack the Supreme Court, thus removing any check on their power. Massive tax hikes. And the encouragement of riots and civil strife by insane Far Left groups like Black Lives Matter: nothing like a lot of terror and violence to make people obedient to the power.

The only way they could get any closer to a real Deplorable Word would be to promise, if elected, to start a worldwide nuclear war. They haven’t proposed that yet, but give them time. God only knows what they’ll do if they lose this election. They’ve erased almost all the “Stop” lines.

They are fast approaching the point where there is nothing they won’t do to gain power. Power to impose their socialist fantasies on 350 million people. Power to shred society.

They scare me, and I think they should scare you.

‘How Much Do They Want from Us?’ (2014)

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

See the source image

Six years later, with yet another Far Left vampire running for president (and the nooze media all assuring us he’s gonna win, might as well get with the program, blah-blah), we are still asking, “How much do they want from us? At what point will they have acquired enough power over us, enough control, to satisfy them?”

How Much Do They Want from Us?

I no longer believe that point can ever be reached. There is no point where liberals say, “Thanks, but I don’t want any more control over other people’s lives.” They never have enough. Even now, “Hidin’ with Biden” has promised to impose a coast-to-coast face mask Mandate on us all; and his handlers have promised us a Green New Deal.

A vote for any Democrat is a vote against freedom.
