Yes.
He wanted to have a photo of me around the same time...
I SNARLED at him.
Feels good to this day!
Pollyanna thinking is precisely what precedes the Libertarian approach to society and politics. I never heard it put so well.
Have to Wonder how the Founders would have responded to that kind of self absorption? I think they didn’t see much of it, probably.
Libertarians, at their core, desire a socialist government run by them.
They want to be able to tell [convince by intimidation/rule] others that they are free to satisfy their desire, only within [their] limits.
>>Libertarians, at their core, desire a socialist government run by them.
Not true. As a libertarian I’m a deep believer in the constitution. But I also believe in people’s rights to behavior that doesn’t injure other people. I do see totalitarian instincts, but they’re as often on the right as they are on the left. There seem to be some who have such a need to only look at the world and see themselves in a mirror that they must impose their looks on the world. Ugly as those looks can sometimes be.
Cognitive dissonance, RE: your previous posts and the Constitution.

Absolutely agree. Sign of total frustration.

Funny, but to think seriously about that, I’ve gotten to the point where I reduce stress by NOT watching many of these horrible shows. Instead I come here or to Breitbart or to Conservative Treehouse and let the brave amongst us summarize what’s going on. I don’t expect to watch it, just to cheer on the commenters.
Lou Dobbs: Mike Lee’s "snit fit" on Iran was a "Benedict Arnold impression" https://t.co/3dX9IMwVvh— The Daily Beast (@thedailybeast) January 9, 2020
Good points that TDS will keep other MSM outlets from hearing

MCCALL: CNN’s Covington Settlement Shows Danger Of Agenda-Based Reporting
FTA:
Such “wishful thinking” reporting leads to a narrow view, a forcing of a minor circumstance into a national issue, and a rush to saturate the news agenda before all perspectives can be assessed. This kind of agenda-pushing and sensationalism explains why news consumers have lost trust in the journalism industry.
Lots of internet chatter about:
1st attempt allowed DS to exchange JE for Tony Rodham (TR)
TR announced as “lost” with much Clintonian sadness.
2nd attempt eliminates TR.
It’s true. The plane loss hasn’t gotten anywhere near the attention it should since it’s such a stretch to blame it on Trump, and that’s the only news really worth talking about.

The crash in Iran points to an Iranian regime in danger of a similar explosion.
>>Lots of internet chatter
REALLY appreciate it when you scour the net and bring back the chatter. If it’s not in a major article, I’d miss it otherwise. Thank you.
I'll just leave this right here.
Still a few articles worth while out of National Review

Yes, Obama Helped Fund the Iranian Regime
By David Harsanyi
FTA:
We never “owed” the Islamic Republic any money. This is a myth.
...
It is unlikely that U.S. would ultimately have been obligated to hand over a single deutschmark to the mullahs. For one thing, the U.S. had its own counterclaims over Iran’s many violations — which, in total, exceeded the amount supposedly “owed” to it. Obama, in his obsessive goal of placating Iran to procure a deal, unilaterally dismissed a stipulation held by the previous administration that the United States wouldn’t release funds until other court judgments held against Iran for its terrorist acts on American citizens were all resolved.
