was scared just enough for Nixon to squeak out a very close race. he had to out-Wallace Wallace to do it.

the Hilton fiasco sealed Humphrey's fate, and unrest like that looms very large on the horizon

Rachel just said they are STOKING violence for just this purpose

they're not stupid. either were the Brownshirts...just very crazy, and they stopped at NOTHING

watch what happens

hope I'm wrong, but I've seen it here before, and not just once.

It's coming, and it started today, with trump's ''end of our nation'' screed.

Fox News "reporters" doing everything they can to get divisive sound bites from BLM protesters

I missed trump's ''end of our nation'' screed, have been away from computer awhile.

Not "shirking"

to defeat Isis.

Nixon called on the silent majority for support.

Trump has called for silent majority support, using those exact words. she showed an ad for something that displayed a "silent majority" motto. something for sale, I think.

by telling s vietnam leaders they'd get favors for not negotiating in good faith with johnson, or something like that

same as reagan later with the october surprise

Quelle idiot

the advent of the 'rising terror' sweeping the land?

how long before the link between BLM and ISIS is established, just like they proved Kerry was a lying coward in his Swiftboat

Rachel is talking about the rules committee meeting. that's why I mention this. she's now listing all the senators, former presidents, big name pols, who aren't going

wondering if that changes any in the next week because of the
terrorist/ protestors

It's all theory to her, raised as she was by very conservative, very religious parents with a career military father and plenty of insulating money.

She studied and learned her political history well enough to discern cycles and manipulation

for keep the brown down.

Legalism is the perversion of the rule of law, when rules become fetishized over substance, as opposed to enablers of substantive virtues. Legalism makes a fetish of rules and shuts out moral, political, and social considerations.

A legalist obeys rules because he believes that rules should be followed because they are rules, and he gains a greater and more positive sense of identity when he follows rules.

In a legalistic culture, the overlay of rule-following and morality leads to a cultural tendency to think and talk about rules (instead of morality), to judge on the basis of rule-following (instead of morality), and to self-judge on the basis of rule-following (instead of goodness or virtue). The process of rule-following tends to become as important as the particular substantive harms that the rules protect. In short, the culture becomes one of “process over substance.” Legalistic cultures transform substantive debates into procedural debates. In a culture dominated by legalism, the rules themselves and the relationships between the rules and individuals and institutions dominate the conversations, becoming the topic of ultimate concern and the set of ideas around which debates are framed.

Another feature of legalism is the (related) tendency to conservatism, because all rules that are right-creating must necessarily come before the current moment or debate. If actions are judged in terms of their conformity to rules and process—without regard to their substance—how can one then change the rules or introduce new ones? Legalism enshrines—and values—laws because they are there and have been there before

Do you know what I'm talking about? I have the BEST primates working for me, let me tell you. Believe it, they're amazing! Nobody knows more about primates than I do!

their 25 years of alternate realities - it's the best they have

1968 was 48 years ago. The people who are afraid and need Donny to protect them are getting fewer every day. People who hate him are increasing every day.

America is only about 62% white, and many of those are liberals for Hillary. Demographics alone give us a major advantage over an openly divisive racist asshole who is disliked by many in his own party

The fear card is going to played for sure, but it's a losing strategy at this point.

tRump needs something like 70 percent of the white vote to win. No Republican (not even Reagan) ever got those kinds of numbers.

whipped up -911 hysteria, riding it to a second stolen election, and ramrodding public dissent into a very small corner, with, of course, the media following along in meek assent

toe the line, listen to the lies, let them stoke your fears

and people, if shown by the massive support for trump so far, have certainly not learned ANY lessons from past demagoguery

I hope you're right, but the media reaction to the email 'scandal,' and their slavish acceptance of trump's ridiculous comments yesterday only shore up my fear that the possibility of another groundswell of fear and ignorance is just over the horizon

I just wish we could speed up the clock, and wake up in December.

just think what it would be like for a modern day RVW to tumble out of his cot, only to see this on his room monitor:



just having a little fun while whistling past the graveyard

...it: How long has the GOP been working to scare the pants off the American people?

Hillary has a spine of steel -- but if Trump can stir up all the old bad ghosts of our past -- fear, anger, race -- as he has been doing -- well yes, ugly it will be. Expect it.

I'm With Her, and I Have Her Back.

Fear - it's all they have

EDIT: what happened to my lede?>>>>

FEAR + IGNORANCE = FASCISIM
