The Ponderosa: Summer break is over ...

Death before Dhimmitude

Energy Independence

Above this race of men stands an immense and tutelary power, which takes upon itself alone to secure their gratifications and to watch over their fate. That power is absolute, minute, regular, provident, and mild. It would be like the authority of a parent if, like that authority, its object was to prepare men for manhood; but it seeks, on the contrary, to keep them in perpetual childhood: it is well content that the people should rejoice, provided they think of nothing but rejoicing. For their happiness such a government willingly labors, but it chooses to be the sole agent and the only arbiter of that happiness; it provides for their security, foresees and supplies their necessities, facilitates their pleasures, manages their principal concerns, directs their industry, regulates the descent of property, and subdivides their inheritances: what remains, but to spare them all the care of thinking and all the trouble of living?

Summer break is over ...

... and we are almost cognizant ! Almost. Hoss is still a bit tipsy. Yet, we are still sharper than youse on the Looney Left ...
Are you people serious?!? Perhaps a foray into grown-up land is in order ... Your hatred for one man has robbed you of any semblance of ... mmmm ... thought and logic ... This is serious stuff ... time to smash the bongs, burn the Woodstock posters, drive over the Michael Moore videos and reclaim ... the portion of your minds unaffected by drugs and irrational hatred ... and, decide whether or not you are Americans.
