Excellent life lesson. Difficult at the time but raising a child, especially today, has many such moments.

Qwapisking: ever notice that the true Conservative just wants to be left alone in peace to live life
That’s where many a loyalist was, in colonial America. It’s the mark of a virtuous citizen, an innocuous one...then an ostrich...and finally a contemptible human being.
It’s relative to the situation, which at some point becomes so dire, that ignorance is no excuse because ignorance is impossible. At that point a man might well ask, “Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God!”

He hasn’t posted here in 14 years. His regular monthly-ish postings stopped 5 years before that.

Indeed? I cut my teeth on his prose. It’s finally a reason to visit twitter, except I worry he’s overripe, a condition more obvious in satirists, and more regrettable.
Twitter. If I’d been old enough maybe I could have stopped him. Poor devil.

Participation trophies are wrong on every level. Purportedly, “for the children” the idea is promoted by “well meaning” virtue signaling busybodies and destroys the moral compass of those it is supposedly cherishing. One of my sons was 8 about 22 years ago when I first heard about the obscene concept. Back in the late 80s my wife and I started hearing the public school teachers start using the buzzword, "Self-Esteem" in regards to teaching as well as in sports.
We talked about the disastrous consequences that would follow and we were 100% correct.

I wasn’t aware of this Burge guy before I saw the comment on this thread. But after perusing his X blog, I can see that this is a very clever and witty fellow. In spite of his Blue Check-mark, I might just give him a follow.

the extent of the damage it would cause.
because they “tried “ and “ intended to do well”.
Trying always has an element of failure built in from the start. “I will try to be at your party on Friday night” means “aint gonna be there”.
Yoda had it right, “Do or Not Do. There is no try”. Or something something, I try to remember.

i call on these campus insurrectionists to keep up their good work!
if ya’ll can paralyze these Marxist factories long enough, maybe they’ll be forced to close permanently, thereby reducing the poisoning of the minds of our youth!

The worst part about this is, I'm not even talking about taking up arms and trying to fight the military, or CWII, or anything like that. I'm just talking about choosing alternatives to paying the companies that are actively working against us, IE making our money count, and most of us can't even do that.

(Will whoever keeps asking if this country can get any more insane please stop?)
To: MtnClimber
“The axiomatic error undermining much of Western Civilization is “weak makes right”. If someone accepts, explicitly or implicitly, that the oppressed are always the good guys, then the natural conclusion is that the strong are the bad guys.” This tribal insanity creates a 'pity party' culture with the most inappropriate the most incentivized... 'toxic incentives an understatement. Hello homeless and violence rewards.

Someone earlier pointed out that it took Democrats and their supporters only four years to go from “punch a Nazi” to “kill the Jews”.
It wouldn't even have taken that long if the commies in control hadn't wanted it that way. Modern leftist agitators are nothing but brainwashed slaves, conditioned from childhood to follow the herd, which follows the instructions of the commies in charge. Tomorrow they could be told to hate the Amish, and they would do it with equal fervor.
