Liz Cheney would be the Martin O’Malley of the GOP primary.

“...there are a ton of Never Trumpers out there running with the line that Liz Cheney will be a serious contender to challenge Trump...”

Well, we know that’s not true, because there aren’t a “ton of Never Trumpers” to begin with.

Oh, I don't know. Stacey Abrams is a significant fraction of a ton all by herself.

Interesting perspective yes. And WELL known!

The Purpose Of Political Correctness Is To Humiliate by R. SCOTT CLARK on February 21, 2015 | Political correctness is communist propaganda writ small. In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, nor to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better. When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is to co-operate with evil, and in some small way to become evil oneself. One’s standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control. I think if you examine political correctness, it has the same effect and is intended to.

The left has zero self awareness of their ideology being the result of their own diseased psyches.

Take away their hatred of their own parents (of which their hatred of God is just a proxy), and there would be almost nothing left.

She’s a dope about numbers......a loss of 37 points isn’t exactly a presidential nod by voters.

This is why gangs initiate new members via murder or rape - it makes the initiate cross a moral line that forever marks them indelibly. In a similar way, it’s why groups throughout history have used the violation of taboos such as cannibalism to break down and remold inductees into a new order.

She bent over and showed her privates to her constituents and they didn’t like what they saw.

Cause it looks like a grilled cheese sammich.

I enjoyed that article. It has something fresh to say, rather than the usual rehashing of the same old talking points.

Why is this called "Neo-Ciceronian"?

Educate me.

I saw a picture of Harriet Hageman wearing a high quality Navajo squash blossom necklace. While a cheap knockoff can be as little as $12, a HQ necklace can run upwards of $30k and is a serious heirloom.

“How do you explain it to the left?
Too intellectual for them. ...
Rhyming helps especially well.”

Or go with flannel graph lessons like we had in Sunday School. Little pics of Liz and Hageman with flannel glued to the backs.

Wyoming is my favorite state right after my sweet home Alabama. Spent many of our summer vacations out there when I was living in Wash-she-ton!! Yellowstone is everything the TV programs make it out to be. The countryside and the critters are spectacular. We visited the Park at least 12 times if my feeble mind is right. Worth every penny spent. Loved riding my bicycle up and down the switchback roads.

Oh there's tons of them, just not very many of them.
