NJ Governor Warns of “Dangerous Thoughts" [Coco Christie]
USBC News ^ | 13, 07,30 | USBC News Wire

Chris Christie, Republican Governor of New Jersey, warned of a “strain of libertarianism that’s going through both parties right now,” and described the political philosophy,  which trends heavily toward a belief in fundamental human rights and fiscal responsibility, as a “very dangerous thought.”

Chris Christie is no stranger to alienating segments of his Republican base. In October of 2012, just a month before the presidential election between Barack Hussein Obama, and Mitt Romney, Christie praised Obama’s reaction in the wake of Hurricane Sandy despite extreme delays...

Addressing Krispy Kreme:

You know what would have prevented another 9/11?

Maybe firing all the jack hats in the FBI, CIA, and NSA who said not to worry about the people here on expired VISAs learning to fly a plane but not to land it.

Maybe firing all the ICE and INS agents who didn;t do their damned job and obstructed those who wanted to do their damned constitutional defined job.

Maybe removing all the pensions for the ones above, especially those who ignored the people below them ont he chain who were screaming that somethign be DONE.

Maybe firing those who sought to replace good old fashioned detective work with the lazyness of casting a huge dragnet around ordinay citizens.

Maybe realizing that the power of defending this country lies not in looking at the citizens with scrutiny, but trusting in the citizens because the country is the property OF the citizens and not the other way around.

I could go on, but I don’t wanna have to wrap my head in duct tape to keep it from exploding.

I’m looking in vain for any trace of libertarianism in the current GOP. It’d be an improvement over the groveling.

Indeed. I have no regrets voting Libertarian last go-around; Johnson was a good candidate, much, much better than Romney.

The idea of liberty is dangerous to who? Last time this political speech came up it was about those dunderheaded black slaves...

Seems there is equality in the modern era, we are all just supposed to give the fruits of our labor to Massa, cause Massa is so much smarter at spending it than we would be.

I’m not concerned about bandwagons or parties any more. If someone is right I’m going to agree and if they’re wrong I’ll disagree.

After all, John Conyers was the democrat co sponsor of the failed NSA vote and I’m certainly not going to beat him up for being right for once.

Dangerous thoughts ? How about dangerous realities. Like for example:

Running trillion dollar annual deficits.
Spending billions cooling a planet that is not warming.
Forcing the Middle East into Civil Wars.
Forcing a healthcare system on people who do not want it.
Spying on every communication by every citizen.
Keeping the Southern Border open to drug trafficking.
Ignoring Russian warnings about specific terrorists.
Politicizing the IRS, Justice Department and the EPA.
Ignoring continued radiation releases from Fukushima.
And the list goes on and on.....

Considering the one severely limits their corrupt-taxation practices, and the other the ability to incur ridiculous debt, as well as making the violations thereof an instant you're out w/ forfeiture of all pensions, you bet that it'd get a reaction.

As for ignoring amendments in-general, I think that's going to bite them in the ass. If they can ignore law at-will, then the people are justified in asserting that the law, thus abriged, cannot offer them protection: i.e. voting from the rooftops becomes a valid method for removing people from office in a lawless land.

Nobody ever said, in any context, that Chris Christie was anything other than a “northeastern liberal state RINO”.

He may have been the “great white hope” (or “whale”) to some, but he is a creature of the electorate that put him into office. Composed of doctrinaire liberals and low-information voters, and opposed only by the few conservative or libertarian inhabitants of that tormented place, who are vastly outnumbered and scorned by every office seeker.

crimestop
Newspeak word, and one of the central pillars of Ingsoc. Crimestop refers to the ability to stop short of any thought that might be heretical or unorthodox before it is even thought, as if by instinct. It is the ability to misunderstand analogies, fail to perceive logical errors, and be repelled or bored by any train of thought or conversation that might be inimical to Ingsoc. Of course, this process is not unique to Ingsoc, and has been and still is applied by most religious and political extremists. (td’s note, SEE: National Organization for Women, NAACP, `Code Pink’).

Crimestop is not stupidity, or at least not natural stupidity. It is the ability to deliberately retard one’s own intelligence, and, of course, to forget the process of doing it by doublethink.

Only reason I think Conyers was for this was because he probably was pissed the government’s listening to a bunch of black people’s phone calls. Seriously race is the only thing that motivates that guy, I would be surprised if it wasn’t something racial.

It’s just too unpredictable to count on any democrats doing anything for the right reasons. And unfortunately too many (R)’s fall into the same camp as well.

As evidenced in this case, by the failed vote.

It’s time to stop using the term “RINO”.

This is what Republicans are. The real “RINOs” are the conservatives who cling to the Party.
