It's true that whenever the left calls someone a fascist, that implies the person is acceptable to kill. Granted, fascism was a reasonable response to various situations in history, like what Spain went through in the early 1900s.

The US government has a long history of weaponizing institutions against different groups. It's why it should be dismantled to a large extent. If it was the same size it was 100 years ago, neither party could weaponize it against the public as much.

I can respect lower level military members, but once you get past a certain rank in the armed forces, you become a politician. They're glorified bureaucrats in the upper echelon.

I can agree with that. The left equivalent is typically something along the lines of "compassionate" or being an "ally." There is a lot of virtue signaling that goes on in politics. I prefer a much blunter and ruthlessly pragmatic approach. A lot of the non-West does not provide sanctuary...

Term limits are a fantasy as long as committee positions are based on seniority. I'm not opposed to the idea overall, but having a federal referendum on the policy is about the only way you'll ever see this happen. As far as the Constitution goes, I like its ideals, but how relevant is it when...

I'd say it's a lot more assholish to force taxpayers to pay for medical expenses to people that aren't even supposed to be here. Granted, I'm not a fan of having to pay for other people's healthcare in general or to be forced to use insurance when it would be cheaper for me to pay a doctor in...

Retribution for bureaucrats doesn't sound bad to me.

One of the defenses I've heard for not disclosing the Epstein files is that it supposedly would compromise a bunch of operations that our intel agencies did related to the people meeting at the island. There seem to be implications that the trafficking allegations were somewhat overblown...

The ideal would be to make public sector unions illegal again and then cut government as much as Milei did for Argentina. Our federal government should go back to the size it was during Coolidge's time, if not smaller.

I don't care who is to blame. I just prefer the shutdown to last as long as possible. The government needs to be starved into oblivion.

All the focus is on tariffs, but no one talks about how most of the world subsidizes shipping from China. If various nations stopped doing that (including us), then trade would favor China a lot less.

If you're pro-choice, you still have to decide when life legally begins. If the argument is that life legally begins at birth, then killing a pregnant woman should only count as a single homicide. Many pro-choice jurisdictions still treat it as a double homicide, which often contradicts how...

The gleeful reactions to Kirk's death just made it obvious that coexistence with certain people isn't possible. It also begs the question of what the relevance of free speech is when elements of the left apparently view words as violence and thus support violence enacted on people for said...

There are plenty of non-religious reasons to not want kids involved in discussions of sexuality. Sex ed is for when they are in middle school, not elementary school. This pride shit is getting out of hand.

I'm an atheist actually. I just don't believe in progressivism anymore than I believe in any traditional religion. I agree that culture has a lot to do with someone's fate though. Decisions do matter more than race. And because decisions are the main factor, it's why I don't buy into the...
