Mencken on Politics
The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by an endless series of hobgoblins. --H. L. Mencken
Ain't that the truth!

Is the irony of you posting this quote up lost on you?

I'm pointing out the hobgoblins, Timmy. I want to lead people the other way, to freedom.

I'm writing some, but they don't have any pictures to color, so I don't think you'd be interested.

Every single thing you post is an effort to alarm the populace, largely without an adequate rationale. If Mencken was correct, you're politics in its purest form.

That's only because you refuse to see what is going on, Timmy. You like government and don't value freedom. You prefer safety to liberty. It's ok, most people do. It's not right, but it is ok.

You seem to be the one lacking the ability to recognize reality, my friend. You continue to simply reinforce what Mencken is referencing with your overly simplistic explanations and utter certainty that you are correct. And, are apparently too obtuse to recognize it.

This is so typically Unawhiner. He posts something and then rather than defending it, promoting it or explaining it, he jumps off into a "I know you are, but what am I" argument with the first poster who comes in.
How about that ass whipping, COG? Have you admitted LL handed it to you yet?
Now you think anybody will give you a shred of cred?
Think again boo boo.
Nothing you post, no position you take, is to be believed.
Your own doing, chickenlittleshit. No wonder you have 15,000 worthless posts!
