The left is having a temper tantrum because they didn’t get their way.

That too. The Kavanaugh hearings really appear to have triggered them.

The socialist hegelian dialetic requires them to get more and more absurdly extreme.

Its a fatally flawed system. Socialism to communism via the dialectic. The powers that started knew achieving true communism was impossible, and undesirable, as it would mean the inner party elites would have to give up their roles and power - which they never intended to do in the first place - but the system always requires change from the current “evils”, and as they get dealt with, you find microevils and fake evils and create your own fake crimes and hate crimes, in order to push for even more absurd insane antitheses. And this is what we are dealing with today.

“Bennett is old GOPe.”

He is. He and and a couple of other RNC dim bulbs supported the illegal aliens during the Prop 187 fight. The other two were named Jack Kemp and GW Bush.

Bill Bennett was a Democrat when he finagled a job in the Reagan administration. And he remained one until 1986.

I would argue that pushing back and producing rumors about pushing back and actually pushing back are all different things.

The fact is that they can’t push back. They have no raw political power. They have the House but it is powerless to do any thing substantive

Wasn’t Bennett the author of books telling everyone to be virtuous? Then it turned out he was a gambler? I think I got that right...

Where I see the Left going next is Euthanasia, to eliminate cripples, handicapped, mental cases, and those with deformities. the abortion up to the day of the birth is just the gateway to these other things. It’s strange and surreal. The last generation that is almost completely dead fought against Nazi Germany that wanted to do this. Now this generation in power wants the Nazi policies and techniques to be brought to this day and age in the USA.

I heard him say that and I thought it was a masterful way of describing the current Dummies’ action. SHARP left turn.

I think the answer is simpler: they are now unashamedly Godless.

Anne Coulter was prophetic in that regard.

They no longer have the classic American moral base. So these politics are easy and obvious for them now.

Their rat lines are getting cut off. Like drug addicts they are doing desperate things to replenish the lost supply.

Sharp left turn is correct.

Is it left when you grab the anvil out of the hands of Wile E. Coyote, balance it on your head and leap off the cliff.

Didn’t he use to host for Rush?

I haven’t thought of Bill Bennett in years and years.

I had this book. I wonder where it went?

https://www.amazon.com/Book-Virtues-William-J-Bennett/dp/0684835770

I probably need to get another one.

And we can add Cheney.

It was obvious that things weren’t right when Obama came on the scene and was going somewhere and people like Cheney and both Bush presidents knew all about the America hating POS and did or said nothing. Not a peep from any of them.

Agree. Hillary would have been their next phase, Obama on steroids.

But, Trump’s snatching POTUS from them surprised and upset them, and they hate being seen as losers. Hence, their particularly vile, hateful, vitriolic contempt for him.

Our younger generation seems hardly patriotic and pretty ignorant of American history. School indoctrination has worked its poison into them over the decades.

I’ve listened to Rush from the beginning and I don’t remember him. But that’s a long time to remember a fill in for a show or two. But I haven’t listened to Rush for a few years so he might have been on recently.

Bennett’s brother used to be a big Dem/Rat.

><

Hitlery would have done several things if she’d won:

Turned loose the full force of the Fed. Government against her enemies.

Had people like Obama run certain things.

By now she’s be the wealthiest woman on earth.

Right. As I said, it was obvious.
