[Perrin Lovett] – Double-Hitter: Democracy in America & Tolerating Totalitarian Tolerance

Democracy in America: A Charming Children’s Story


(Originally published Sunday, May 17, 2015 at www.perrinlovett.me).

I wrote this one a while back. M.B. always liked it and he’s been hounding me to repost it here. So, here goes. I reread and, in addition to still seeming funny, it’s still relevant. A few minor changes have been made to the body; at the end, you will find a short “update” commentary. Enjoy.
*****
Last week I mentioned that an election was coming.  I also presented my own favorite candidate – Frank the Frog.  Frank will not win and the election is in vain.  Vote if you care. I don’t.
The Illustrious Barry Hussein El Islam Muhammad Obama the Magnificent has finished the job begun by his predecessors – the country is in ruins.  For his replacement, the Democrats have dug to the very bottom of the bag of wrinkled has-beens, to one Hillary Clinton, the wife of “good times” Bill, the Slickster.
The Republicans have other, similar ideas.  They would foist upon the people yet a third member of the Bush clan.  Obviously, the people are okay with two families maintaining a grip on national power for two or three or five decades.  Their business. Is there some national obsession with rats and roaches of which I am not completely aware?

As the DOW goes through another sell-off and we prepare to say goodbye to Sears (I think Roebuck is already deceased), could it be that President Trump is finally turning the MAGA lens on the Fed???

President Donald Trump slammed the Federal Reserve as “going loco” for its interest-rate increases this year in comments hours after the worst U.S. stock market sell-off since February.

Trump said in a telephone interview on Fox News late Wednesday night the market plunge wasn’t because of his trade conflict with China: “That wasn’t it. The problem I have is with the Fed,” he said. “The Fed is going wild. They’re raising interest rates and it’s ridiculous.”

“That’s not the problem,” he said of the trade standoff. “The problem in my opinion is the Fed,” he added. “The Fed is going loco.”

Channel that inner Ron Paul, MAGA Man! We need no loco banqueros. End it!

Trust the MSM! To Tell the Truth About the MSM

Especially Communist News Network.

So long as it’s from the left, good, old-fashioned racism is a-ok:

A CNN panel hosted by anchor Don Lemon took turns lacing into Kanye West on Tuesday evening, joking that his embrace of President Donald Trump has caused him to be tokenized. Several referred to him using the term “negro.”

“He’s an attention whore, like the president. He’s all of a sudden now the model spokesperson. He’s the token negro of the Trump administration,” said CNN contributor Tara Setmeyer.

Yuck, yuck, yuck. See, it’s okay if they do it. An otherwise shameful take on the “N” word is okay on CNN (from liberals). HOWEVER! The “M” word is strictly off limits (as applied to liberals:

CNN’s Brooke Baldwin refused to let one of her guests refer to rowdy far-left activists who opposed Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh as a “mob,” saying that she did not want to use the “m-word.”

The comment came from senior Daily Beast columnist and CNN contributor Matt Lewis, who said that the increasing confrontations initiated by far-left protesters will drive GOP turnout at the polls this fall.

I wonder if “token mob” would be acceptable?

No, seriously, there’s no reason to watch this clown network. Hasn’t been for years.

Democrats Get Results

They are amazing, literally never taking “no” for an answer (and this is not about Bill…). The following comes in the wake of the liberal loss on Justice Kavanaugh and their foreknowledge of the blue toilet swirl next month. Loss or no loss, they can really fire up the base.

They Make the Call:

Eric Holder, who sold discount machine guns to drug dealers and terrorists until the market collapsed from saturation (then gave them away until no one wanted any more), told it like it really is:

“Michelle always says — Michelle Obama, I love her, you know, she and my wife like really tight, which always scares me and Barack, but Michelle always says, you know, when they go low, we go high,” Holder went on. “No. No. When they go low, we kick them.”

His call for “kicking” Republicans drew a quick applause from the crowd.

And Hillary Clinton, famous for the Vince Foster mur 2016 election loss, boldly confirmed the three laws of SJWs:

“You cannot be civil with a political party that wants to destroy what you stand for, what you care about,” Clinton told CNN’s Christiane Amanpour. “That’s why I believe, if we are fortunate enough to win back the House and or the Senate, that’s when civility can start again.”

Lie, check.

Double down, check.

PROJECTION. Double check.

If only law four were ” go to GITMO” …

Okay, they set the tone, gave the marching orders, and….

The Uncivil Low-Kickers ANSWER:

Police and FBI agents searched a Hudson Valley, New York, home Wednesday and arrested the 56-year-old man living there after learning about his alleged plan to build a bomb and blow himself up in Washington, D.C. on Election Day, two law enforcement officials told News 4 New York.

Court documents say Paul Rosenfeld wanted to draw attention to his belief in an ancient election system called “sortition,” a method of choosing political officials at random.

Officials tell News 4 Rosenfeld had no criminal history but had told a reporter in Pennsylvania he planned to blow himself up on the Washington Mall around Election Day because he was angry about the country’s direction.

FBI agents pulled over Rosenfeld while he was driving on Tuesday, and he confessed to the plot, telling them he ordered black powder over the Internet and built a bomb in his basement.

Authorities searching his home found eight pounds of black powder explosive meant to be used in a bomb that would ultimately weigh 200 pounds.

He had no plans to hurt anyone else, officials said. He is believed to be a lone actor not affiliated with any international terror group or ideology.

Dear FBI: Please check those above quotes by known international terrorists and reconsider this “lone wolf” assessment.

BTW: the ancient and viable sortition angle is BS, mere cover floated by the enemies of the American people at press time.

More to come…

Follow-Up on the Falling-Down

Two things:

First, a while back I mentioned a journalist in Malta, murdered by corrupt elements in the government (one of them). She was back in the news following yet another politically-motivated hit job.

A popular Bulgarian journalist who had reported on an investigation into alleged corruption involving European Union funds was raped and beaten to death, authorities said.

The semi-nude body of 30-year-old Victoria Marinova was found in a park in the Danube town of Ruse on Saturday. She’d been beaten with such force that she was unrecognizable, according to the Federation of European Journalists.

Marinova is the fourth high-profile journalist to be killed in Europe since the beginning of 2017. Her death follows the alleged slaying of a Washington Post journalist in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul.

Second, recently I mentioned Robert Redford and the end of an era, an American era. Now, Redford says he doesn’t recognize his own country. Our reasons, I suspect, differ, but we can agree on that. Actually, there’s probably little in common except for acknowledging the era passing.

And, so it did. Terrible shame out of the EU (and upon it).

Two-Thirds of Americans May Not Actually Be So

Based on a study of “citizen” results on the citizenship test: only a third pass.

Just a third of Americans can pass a multiple choice “U.S. Citizenship Test,” fumbling over such simple questions as the cause of the Cold War or naming just one thing Benjamin Franklin is famous for.

And of Americans 45 and younger, the passing rate is a tiny 19 percent, according to a survey done for the Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation.

Worse: The actual test only requires that 60 percent of the answers be correct. In the survey, just 36 percent passed.

Magic dirt, LOL.

Telling, with the poorer than the already horrendous norm scores from the young people, given the late demographic shift. And, as to the norm, given a Constitutional Posterity definition of “citizens, the third statistic may actually be about right.

For reasons all my own, I have devised a beta-version test of what I call “basic” American civic knowledge. It needs work; initial norming indicates that most US law school professors could not pass it. We’ll see how the Posterity performs sooner or later.

2033, anyone?

568 pages of it. Here’s your reward for waking up this fine Monday:

DOJ IG (CYA) Report on FBI BS (OMG!!!)

In a nutshell, it says, “blah, blah, need more money, blah.”

Seriously, of interest (to someone) may be the “notes” from page 294:

Carry on.

Is Jordan Peterson Your Favorite ‘Conservative’?

If so, you may be beyond hope.

I’ve paid exactly .001% attention to Peterson since I first heard of him – my only source has been Vox Day’s warnings that the goofy professor is a nut job, a socialist, and a con artist. I trust Vox. I trust that Peterson is an unstable lefty.

So it was that I wasn’t at all surprised last weekend when my interview subject, Ms. X, named him as her favorite conservative. The fact of little Benny’s presence was a fitting coincidence.

The interview issue was, of course, Brett Kavanaugh. And now we know what Peterson thinks about that. Thanks again, Vox:

I understand the madman is popular. And he’s being pushed by the MSM – as is Shapiro. That, by itself, should tell you everything.

BTW: Early congratulations and welcome to our newest Supreme Court Justice, Mr. Brett Kavanaugh!

Not so much dying as rotting. Thus, the smell and putrid look.

The ever-surprising Camille Paglia addresses one noticeable facet, the mainly female obsession with posting idiocy on Insta and other social spy sites.

One of the greatest photographs ever taken of a Hollywood star was Edward Steichen’s 1924 close-up of Gloria Swanson through a lavishly embroidered black veil. It conveys tremendous power, dignity and enigmatic reserve. If women want respect in society, they must do their part to raise their own value. Stop throwing it away on empty display.

Yeah. Kim K. has those ass-ets. But(t) all the time??? Hmmm. Paglia also roundaboutly admits a few of the faults of her g-g-g-generation. Those faults have infected subsequent generations with predictable results.

The pitiful, moronic state of the socials I partly covered in today’s PNW:

Perrin/YouTube.

The #MeToo mania, helpful to some I’m sure, has also helped fuel the decline. Today, women who do not report alleged crimes to the police, happily report them to SJW shame lists. Defamation is a real thing as some young women are now finding out. The aggrieved boy in the last link, I don’t like his odds. His story is probably true. But few care, as evidenced by the DA’s actions and those of the “school.” Tisk.

Back on the socials, I just today deleted by Gab account. Two years ago I hailed Gab and the free and intelligent alternative to Twitter. It isn’t. The only viable options to the socials might be going social free. You know, like we were only 20 years ago.

But you, you with the cat videos, you stay on FB. Perfectly safe and sane.

Possible wrap for the week.
