A good, though by no means complete, summary of liberal insanity is contained in the article.

Don’t forget criminalizing self defense tools and possibly trying to outlaw self reliance by doing away with family farms and gardens.

And secondhand stores, yard sales, and charitable donations.

You left out: Making heros out of people who are scum and lawbreakers, giving them book contracts and electing them into high positions.

Now we have the Fed buying T-Bills. Something tells me that is a little inflationary. Time to look at gold again.

TownHall has to figure out how to make their pages load faster.

Does -”Tax payers need not apply for cabinet postions” need a separate listing?

Very good article. We went through the looking glass well before Obama, but his election is perhaps the greatest confirmation yet.

I was hoping for a decent Dow bounce to drop the price of gold a bit before buying in again. A bit of a bull run could revalue the dollar enough to make it worth it.

I know... depends on a bunch of other stuff as well, but with the markets as gerrymandered as they are now... Who knows.

That would deprive Townhall the opportunity to spam the heck out of your desktop with zedoo pupunders.

It’s part of the “all articles children might touch have to be tested for lead and that stuff that starts with phth” rule. I understand it’s been temporarily suspended, but it’s only a matter of time.

“You left out: Making heros out of people who are scum and lawbreakers, giving them book contracts and electing them into high positions.”

This mental illness started to set in during the Nam years.

Traitors like Fonda, Kennedy, Kerry, Ayers and others, who should have been hung for high treason became heroes thanks to the criminally insane mediots who controlled the media.

Follywood re made itself and America haters and the Insane in Follywood became the new screen idols and gods.

Then, they made homosexual and their deviant behavior a wonderful lifestyle while making the normal people the bad people.

Abortionists became heroes while those of us who tried to protect the most innocent of all became the evil people.

Illegals became heroes and those who tried to enforce the immigration laws became criminals in the eyes of America.

Zer0’s onslaught against capitalism and the constitution are incredible. He has done more damage to capitalism and our constitution in less than 2 months than FDR did in close to 4 terms.

It's the socialist cow living on its own milk. You can only play that game for a short time.

"Yard sales?"

The Consumer Products Safety Commission's new rules about lead content are putting a lot of eBay sellers and thrift stores out of business. But the rules cover any sales by anyone, including person-to-person, private sales, like a yard sale.

If you sell a used item, that was produced before mandatory lead testing began, and it contains any lead (eg - the ink in pre-1985 children's books,contains lead), you could go to jail.

Welcome to the new Amerika For The Children, Comrade Kim.
