Why is it always “common sense” restrictions on freedoms - like speech and self defense and religion? Why can’t there be “common sense” restrictions on destructive and life changing things like abortion or theft or trespassing or invading other nearby (or not so nearby) countries , or even murder? Those Shall Nots in the 10 Commandments? Couldn’t we have some common sense restrictions on those Nots? She could start with some common sense restriction on her own lying. There seems to be no restriction on stupid.
I think when liberals use "common sense" they are not referring to changes in the law. They must be referring to the tactics they must use to win by all means necessary.
Someday, if Trump wins in 2024, a witty writer should compile and publish a short book on the paradoxes of liberal reasoning. Perhaps they could call it "Idiocy for Dummies". Don?
in her mind she is not lying. it's obvious that she isn't part of the brain trust driving this evil destruction of western civilization but just another duped college graduate who has drunk the kool-aid and enjoys telling others what to do. new world order.
i grew up in flint. graduated from flint northwestern high school in 1966. trust me, this water thing was blown way out of proportion for political reasons.
Great comment but I think we already have those things. They are called laws, but laws are of no value if people pick and choose which ones they are going to follow. As for being stupid, all I can say is, in my long life thus far there has been no shortage of stupid to be found. It is found everywhere, that's why we all need to keep looking right, left and behind us.
If we start to have restrictions on free speech, I suggest we start with the “ladies” on The View. Never has a dumber group of individuals been able to spew disinformation with indignation for those with actual factually correct information. My wife suggests that the gate to HELL is located at the View desk. I pray to God that he opens it up soon.
Those morons are paid a great deal of money to sell their4 souls and say scripted outrageous and hateful things because they are first, entertainers. They do it for the money with no sense of shame for the harm they are causing. But I never want to see them restricted from doing so either. We all have choices, and no one makes us watch or listen to them. Just say no.
Reddog, Mark Twain said it best: Better to Remain Silent and Be Thought a Fool than to Speak and Remove All Doubt. Each day, the View cast members prove his point.
I choose to not watch them. It would make more sense to go slam the door on my head for an hour than to sit and watch human beings be so causal about spewing hate. Actually, I don't watch TV at all anymore. Nothing on it worth watching these days. Not sure your age but as I have gotten to my "experienced years" I find time has sped up dramatically and I have so many unfinished things left to do I don't find time for TV. Don't laugh but the last movie I saw in a theater was Titanic! By the way, Mr. Clemens is one of my favorites. I was in London back in the 80's and we were trying to find a restaurant (yeah, we were lost) so we took a shortcut down an alley and darned if there wasn't a large prominent plaque on the wall of a large home that said Mr. Clemens had lived there for a period of time while writing one of his books. He was everywhere.
I’m not terribly old. Read quite a bit. Started reading Gore Vidal books recently after I reread his Vanity Fair essay on Timothy McVeigh. It was rather eye opening. On his brilliant book on Lincoln which is fascinating. See the View clips on my Twitter/X feed. I don’t post any political things, as it’s not the right forum for me.
the only tv i watch anymore is college football. all the rest of it is nonstop promotion of things that are shameful even to mention. heck, even many of the commercials on college football are that now with McDonald's being the worst offender.
Yep, but college sports, especially football, is in the process of destroying itself right now with these bizarre conference changes and the move to allow players to be paid. This is only the start. By the time they are done, it wont be the same sporting experience at all. I love college football but hope it doesn't end up just pro-football-lite. I started going to high school sporting events and really enjoy it. Wish I could go back and play again when the games were fun.
Proverbs 29:18 "Where there is no prophetic vision the people cast off restraint, but blessed is he who keeps the law."
Fear of God provides comfort. Fear of the world produces crazy. All these crazy people are crazy because they are scared. Scared of death, scared of a world they do not understand, scared of what other people will say, scared of what they will be told to say or think next. I don't think it's an accident that the next verse is "By mere words a servant is not disciplined, for though he understands, he will not respond."
Wow Don, brilliant summation of ongoing censorship of Americans who dare to think differently than the governmental line on Russia Hoax, Covid plandemic, and Presidential insurrection ( overthrowing the government while legally Presiding over said government).
Wow, a person could comment for hours about this issue and that maroooon Mz. McQuade. She would be scary if she wasn’t so pathetic. We should have a conversation about disinformation she said. Great, but how many leftists do you know willing to do so? Even debating really solves nothing. You still end up at same place. “Who” gets to decide what disinformation is? Not the government, lady! It’s an issue like a hula hoop with no ending. Thats why we have the first amendment. If there are truly legal analysts like this woman, something is very wrong in today’s higher education system that is producing these communist wannabe’s. There are too many of these people in positions of power and authority today. We conservatives have been asleep far too long. Being an American and enjoying all the freedoms and protections it comes with is no guarantee it will sustain itself without our close attention. The Maddows of the world will come and go along with the McQuades. Time to fight back.
Whenever you heard those words, or "in the interest of the state", reach for your Peter Gunn. The state has no interest of its own. It is a created thing, like your toaster oven. Does it have any interests of its own? Like the toaster oven, the state was created for a specific purpose. When it serves that purpose it is a good state. When it serves any other purpose it is a bad state.
Bad state! Now heel!
The problem with the sad law professor, nearly all lawyers and the subset of lawyers who are judges is that they serve the law only. It is what they are trained to do. We normies aren't interested in law. We are interested in justice, which is why lawyers have such a bad reputation among us. Hear how Oliver Wendell Holmes replied to Louis Brandeis when Brandeis, in a moment of exuberance congratulating Holmes on his appointment as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, said to him has his coach was driving away, "Do justice, sir!"
Holmes had his driver stop the coach, and he turned around and said "That is not my job, sir. I will apply the law!"
What the Lord requires: do Justice, love Mercy, walk Humbly with your God.
Sadly the looney leftists successfully altered the true definitions of justice, mercy, and humble to suit their perverse agenda to cause discord within our society.
David Thompson wrote “Fear of Hod provides comfort. Fear of the world produces crazy.” So true.
Why is it women who are so angry and so opposed to free speech and the constitution? Why are women the worst of the democrat governors and judges and AGs?
a controversial question (and position) that rarely gets discussed or commented on other than perhaps a time out sanction from youtube. respects for having the balls to bring it up joe.
as to my answer....only agenda driven angry women go into politics. they put their anger (at men) over their children and all else. it's a new world order that is not going away.
it's also why the angriest of them all are found in the democrat party and the left. the war on men and boys agenda literally takes priority over all the other crap they're angry about.
at least they seem to stub their collective toes and so garner the most headlines....there's little doubt of that. everyone reaps what they sow or some such.
Because the wrong type of women go into politics for the wrong reasons. One of which may be that no one takes them seriously as "civilians" so they feel the need to be in positions of power to push their opinions. Women are not the only ones doing this either. You have the Swalwell's, the Schiff's, etc. But right now we certainly have a bunch of female DA's, AG's, and Governors who were picked and supported financially by wealthy leftists for a specific reason, and they did so willingly. For further meaning, refer to Fani Willis for starters or that loony constitution hating woman in the Governors chair in New Mexico, Grisham. All useful tools.
A friend once said that if I were God, Emerson, Lake, and Palmer would be the house band. Their arrangement of the Peter Gunn theme has never been surpassed.
Your post today is more proof we are winning and the left is losing their minds over it.The unrelenting attacks in the msm and bat shit craziness emanating from the regimes DOJ are the result of Don Surber,Elon Musk Tucker Truth Social VDH and others posting facts feelings be damned."Ye shall know the truth and the Truth will set you free".Charge on Poca-Man to a MAGA 2024 victory we pray.
That poll question today is a hard one. Henry Mancini's "Peter Gunn" versus the Venture's "Hawaii 5-O"? And the other three are great, too. But my vote has to go to the theme from "the Avengers" (the classic Brit series, not the Marvel superhero nonsense), which also had the sexiest woman ever in a TV show (Diana Rigg as Mrs. Peel).
When I was a pre-teen boy, I had a crush on Diana Rigg even though she was old enough to be my mom; hardly ever missed an episode of "The Avengers" during the seasons that she was on. Even in her dotage, I thought that she still looked "hawt".
Same here. There was one episode in which she was dressed up in what amounted to a S&M outfit (which I later read got her royally ticked off at the producers). That episode was a defining moment of my childhood. And she was a really excellent actor; her appearance in the one Lazenby Bond movie was great.
They're telling us the national tv, newspaper and cable news is powerless to control the narrative with all this new media. Floggings will continue until morale improves.
Minor correction. Dylan Mulvaney is not a "man." He may be male (i.e.,, possessing two "X" chromosomes) but by no stretch of the imagination is he a "man."
Minor demurrer on best theme song from the early days of private eye TV shows. The theme from "Peter Gunn" is, without doubt the best musical effort in that vein, followed by the theme from the original "Hawaii Five O." You can now "Book 'em, Danno."
Speaking of the sexes, I note that the featured censorship advocates are female. And one of them confesses to lachrimose musings over being forced--FORCED!-- to teach Constitutional Law nowadays. The horror! What ever happened to "Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me"?
And finally, on the topic of censorship, did you ever notice that it's always the ones doing the censoring who are in favor of it? Yeah, strange, isn't it?
i had to think about what you were getting at for a second. cookie was singular. it's an expression i use with my friends when i say something funny or am right about a point or what not. it was something don rickles used to say quite a lot.
i was surprised that no one asked the obvious question.... his daughter-in-law would have to be married to his son so what was up? actually i dated her after they had gotten a divorce. wouldn't it be rich if she actually saw my post and commented here? she was smokin' hot and a fine lady.
Our entire Federal Government is “Bizarro World” on steroids.
The entire purpose of government is TO PROTECT our Rights enshrined in the Constitution, yet absolutely every single thing they do is the geared toward the exact opposite effect, using their power to whittle away, bit by bit, year in and year out, by writing and passing endless regulations and Bills whose only purpose is to circumvent, curtail and crush those same God-given Rights, without exclusion!
Government is the most dangerous of all entities, as that power, in the hands of immoral men and women, is a sure guarantor of oppression.
To quote Sheriff Ed Earl Dodd, "Boys, I got myself a pretty good bullshit detector, and I can tell when somebody's pissin' on my boots and telling me it's rainin'."
"Our government went loco with lies in covid. Cloth masks don’t stop a virus. Social distancing doesn’t stop a virus. Keeping people from using ivermectin doesn’t stop a virus. Making people stay indoors doesn’t stop a virus. Shutting down the economy doesn’t stop a virus."
Of course, none of the above stops a virus - in fact, almost nothing does except a human body's own immune system - but stopping the virus was never the objective.
The objective was an elaborate ploy to crash the economy, destroy normal daily social life, turning us against each other, and controlling the citizenry by re-creating to as great an extent as possible, life in East Germany - all in an effort to remove Trump from office and install a meat puppet to give the first sodomite president a third term.
"If Americans had common sense, they would censor the government, not themselves."
True, but the time for such Americans to show up, push back, defend and preserve not only free speech per the first amendment but all rights guaranteed in the constitution would have been in the years immediately post WWII - after the US and its allies defeated the most immediate and existential threat to liberty.
McCarthy, as it happens, was right. Extremism in the defense of freedom, and properly identifying existential threats to it may be no vice, but RINOs of the day along with Eisenhower were content to let the left have its way, thus opening the door to the Marxists who started the Long March Through the Institutions, leading us to where we are, today.
"Well, Clarence Thomas, you made Rebecca Brown cry. Are you happy? Are you proud? You should [be] ashamed of yourself."
I'm guessing that's sarcasm, but I hope J CT is as proud as a peacock. In most other pursuits, if one cannot take the suck, one needs to get out - then again, those endeavours exist to make a profit, so one must produce and demonstrate value every day - hence, the reason she is teaching law at Stanford's extension campus in SoCal.
"Peter Gunn" is, without question, the best TV show cop song - it's fun to hear, and even more fun to play - especially if you're a bass player. There are few bass walks as enjoyable as that one.
What Don is doing here is like shouting fire in a crowded theater, because he sees the fire.
You are right! Don sees the fire that most miss because of the censorship on MSM.
Unfortunately now this is shouting fire in front of the firing squad. They are determined to shut us up.

Commonsense in a lefty's mind really means "to think or act as they do".

She must have grown up in Flint and drank the water there her whole life. Someday, we may have one of these people come out of East Palestine, OH

It's the preferred method of "otherizing" their enemies - us.

I love me some college baseball and football but fear you are correct Reddog.
Touche Mark.
There are a number of wonderful television shows around. When we hear the woke or antiJudeoChristian messages if present we just wince.

Not "old", just "experienced".
If that makes you feel better. When I look in the mirror, experienced isn’t the first word that comes to mind.
When I look in the mirror I see five miles of gravel road that needs to be paved.

Stick to those, and life is good for you and your neighbor.
There is a better way, but he, who is merciful and just, has delayed his return.
