Random Notes - Idle Thoughts

The Progressive Disintegration: The self-destruction of so many failed progressive gods.– Bruce Thornton

These layabouts have become used to throwing tantrums whenever they don’t like something or they feel “unsafe.” Most of them are spoiled brats, the pampered detritus of the middle class. But don’t forget the Alinskyite activists who manipulate these juveniles and bus them in on George Soros’ dime. These two-bit Leninists are adept at using “useful idiots” in order to further their aim of destroying America’s political and social order. They’re skilled at manipulating empty slogans like “income inequality,” “fair share,” “social justice,” “diversity,” “inclusion,” and all the other bumper-sticker bromides in order to consolidate and increase their power and influence.

Random Note #195,742 — Government needs to remember — it’s the narrative, stupid — Peta Credlin

When Ted Kennedy was asked why he was running for President in the democrat primaries against incumbent Jimmy Carter in 1980, the response was one very long, embarrassing, cringe and squirm inducing silence. He had nothing to say. It was this incident displaying a lack of preparedness to answer the most basic of questions that betrayed a Kennedy dynastic, entitlement mindset that killed off and blew up his candidacy. In other words he was running because he was running. It was a family expectation. Ditto Clinton.

Who Are Wise, Who Not? — Victor Davis Hanson

For now, Donald Trump has proved that the animal cunning necessary to survive in the jungle of Manhattan real estate — duplicitous and venal politicians, all-powerful unions, incompetent and vindictive regulators, fair-weather bankers and investors, and dozens of special-interest crusaders — trumps the definition of traditional political wisdom: finding a young hip graduate from the right school with the right résumé to hire the right people to run the right sort of campaign.

Democracy trumps the victim generation: Janet Albrechtsen — The Australian

Make America great again? The starting point ought to be making America tough again. And we could aim to do the same in Australia. A few hundred years ago, colonial pioneers forged a new home in a daunting but beautiful country. Less than 100 years ago, postwar migrants sought out a new and free country, laboured through a Depression to build lives for their families. A few generations ago, resilient young men went to war to fight against Nazi Germany. Now, a pampered generation of men and women, many of whom don’t have much regard for democracy, seek out therapy for themselves and their children when an election result doesn’t go their way. Few things mark the worst of modernity as clearly as this rush among highly educated professionals to be victims of a democratic election on the other side of the Pacific Ocean.

America Called Bullshit on the Cult of Clinton: Brendan O’Neill — Reason.com

We have now reached peak insanity. This is one hell of a blistering broadside. The cult of Clinton is approaching, if it hasn’t already arrived at 1978, Jonestown and Kool Aid dimensions. “…As with all saints and prophets, all human manifestations of light itself, the problem is never with them, but with us. We mortals are not worthy of Hillary. “Hillary didn’t fail us, we failed her,” asserted a writer for the Guardian. The press, and by extension the rest of us, “crucified her,” claimed someone at Bustle. We always do that to messiahs, assholes that we are…”
