Off the Grid

October 10, 2016 by V the K

Posting will be limited as a family member is in the hospital; a rural hospital with lousy wiffie.

I have been thinking about the deepening social, political, racial, and class divisions in the country and how Hilary Rodham Clinton is absolutely incapable of dealing with them. For one thing, the Democratic Party finds too much political advantage in exacerbating divisions; and it’s run by a class of people who actually get off on taunting the opposition through their policies. For another, Hillary is a bitter, vengeful creature who is by her own nature incapable of conciliation with opponents. On top of which, she’s already damaged goods, and will assume the presidency already distrusted and despised by a majority of the population.

Paradoxically, the one sure way to ease the social divisions would be for Government to back off and give people room to work things out for themselves.   Hayek explained it succinctly in The Road to Serfdom how as government force grows in every aspect of our lives, the inevitable result is friction as policies invariably favor some groups over others. Over time,  fewer and fewer support the actions and when the intrusion is greater and greater – the angst, anger and predictably the violence grows. The divisions we are seeing now are precisely the result of 80 years of steadily expanding authoritarian Government.

The next four years are going to be ugly, very ugly.

    Wow, thank you V the K, for encapsulating how I am feeling about our society, Hillary, and her blind-to-their-own-fascism followers. Glad to know I’m not the only one. Frightful times, indeed.

    Here’s hoping your loved one is getting better.

    Regards,
    Rosey

    Its really bothersome to hear worse things said about Christian cake bakers than the Afghani moslem who shot 100+ in Orlando. A Hispanic lesbian activist seen on the show Gaycation said worse things about the hospital that saved lives than the moslem, & the hospital ended up saying it wouldn’t charge anyone for the care. So many who listen to the Soros paid cheerleaders still think STR8 white church going Christian men commit more terror than moslems.

    The anonymous conservative blog gives a good explanation for why the left does this. They think the cowardly moslems will fight armed conservatives for them instead of looking for easy prey in gay bar bathrooms.

    “Criminals and foreigners – the people who are most likely to be amenable to oppressing the indigenous population on behalf of the leftist. Add in their obsession with importing Islamics from the very parts of the world filled with our enemies, and their desire to make each group of which they are a part subservient to a larger authority ruled over by outsiders with contrary interests, and suddenly the image begins to come into greater focus”

    So true, but guess what, the Trump voters ensured a Democratic victory. Kasich and Rubio would have won easily, and even Cruz would have a slight edge. But nooooooo, the angry mob decided they wanted a classless fighter. Well, once Hillary is ensconced in the White House, you can whine and b***h how other Republicans cost Trump his victory. Well, you folks will have to look in the mirror at yourselves for snatching a loss from a nearly sure win.

    My theory is there were a lot of crossovers from dem to republican in the primaries to give us Trump. Rubio would beat her in a cake walk IMO. We invented the method better than any other party to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Why bother talking about Hillary as the enabling media dismisses anything the Clintons do or say. The media gave us Obama and the media gave us Trump. If I ever wished I was wrong on a prediction it is now. I agree totally the next 4 years will change this nation for generations. Yes, I will vote for Trump but from my vantage point, this election is over.

    “Kasich and Rubio” are Democrats.

    They are like Ryan and McConnell. They are more concerned with appeasing the MSM and the Democratic base (they like me, they really like me) then they are with actually adhering to basic conservative ideas.

    tnnsne1:

    Well, if you think Kasich and Rubio are Democrats, what about Trump? His views are mostly what a blue collar Pittsburgh Democrat believes. Trump has been a Democrat a good deal of his life, so please get your facts straight.

    You and yours take care V, you need anything you know how to contact me.

    And unfortunately you’re right, even if Hillary stokes out and Trump somehow gets elected we’ve a damaged president with world crisis and either one would be focused only on their own power.

    Donald Trump might surprise us as an effective President.

    On the other hand, Hillary Clinton will only confirm our fears of her shortcomings and her soft [national] socialism.

    …and then there’s Barack Obama who will retain control for [at-least] 3-months after the Election for further mischief and mayhem against the Federal Constitution and public sensibilities..

    tnnsne1 hit the nail on the head. There’s no difference between Rubio/Kaisich and democrats. I want someone to either clean house or blow it up so we can start from scratch.

    davinci38.. you mentioned Trump, I didn’t. Please get your facts straight.

    Please state one policy difference between Clinton and Rubio.
    Please state one policy difference between Clinton and Kasich.
    Please state one policy difference between Clinton and Ryan.
    Please state one policy difference between Clinton and McConnell.

    A matter of degrees won’t count as a policy difference, i.e. 250,000 H style virsus 500,000 H style visas is not a policy difference.

    Paul:

    we have blown up the GOP, and guess what. Our side will lose again for the third time in a row. So what should we do: keep putting Trump’s up for President and lose again? Rubio is a good shot in 2020. Yes, I didn’t concur with his Gang of Eight bill, but if you want someone to be 100% conservative, you will never get that person in the White House. Staunch conservatism is what I believe in about 90% of the time, but there are not enough people like me to win the Presidency. You have to go with a moderate conservative for the WH. The only exception was Reagan. Look at both Bush’s: moderate.
