Smarten up





Alternate universes--- liberalism versus conservatism.

As Bongino said on his show, liberals "walk around the enchanted forest of stupidity". How? Because they believe what liberals say without any critical examination of their own. Why not? They cannot or will not do any research.

Maybe they won't do any research. I used to believe a lot of what passes as liberal orthodoxy. I didn't do any critical examination of things like global warming. That's a least a partial explanation of how so many people fall for liberal bravo sierra. People may be too busy, or just too lazy to look things up on their own. I did it. It seems probable to me that many other people do it too.

The bravo sierra of liberalism filters through the population and can cause ill effects.

One effect is to change the language. Limbaugh used to talk about that. Bongino didn't mention the word "gay", but that is another example as well. It is not a new observation. The effort to make homosexuality more palatable to a population that wasn't at all comfortable with it caused a change in the language. That is a principle worth mentioning. It is a type of cultural engineering.

Bongino calls it the "weaponization of language". A current example is how the phrase "court packing" got changed to mean what the liberals want it to mean. It used to mean when FDR tried to add new justices to the Supreme Court, but now means just nominating Justice Barret to the court. See how that works?

The alternate universes means we cannot talk to each other anymore. Words mean different things to conservatives and liberals. It will have grave consequences for our future if we cannot agree on what words mean.

The stupid people in the forest are a danger to themselves and the rest of us. We all need to smarten up.

Per Supreme Court order, defendant states have submitted a response to Texas' suit

 





Source for this is from Free Republic. It is almost as if it is being blacked out. Even by sites friendly to conservatives. Where's the people on this?

Anyway, from what I've read in the comments section, the various responses from the states don't seem to address the issue that the court asked them to address.

What that means as to the ultimate outcome, I cannot say. Those who did comment said they weren't lawyers either.

Maybe you don't have to be lawyers to read the Constitution. It is pretty straighforward.

Either we have a Constitution or we don't. I've read the Federalist Papers. The Supreme Court was set up the way it was so that it would be maximally dedicated to preserving the Constitution. Lifetime appointments, not elections, make them less succeptible to political pressures. But they are not immune.

If this isn't a case worthy of their attention, then there isn't any case worthy of their attention. In other words, you DAMNED right it is worthy, and should be settled QUICKLY because there is little time.

Anybody with common sense would agree, I would think. But the way things are going, you may never hear about it even if everyone DID agree.

The media is quickly becoming very paranoid. Wholesale banning of people? Really? Why should anybody trust them?





Parsing Out Pennsylvania

Parsing Out Pennsylvania: If you want to see how a U.S. Supreme Court, packed to 13 or 15 with Joe Biden appointees, would act, then look at the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, which is dominated by five elected Democrats. In February 2018, the PA Court threw out the existing ...

comment:

The piece goes on to say that the Supreme Court would not throw out the election because there were a lot more races besides the Presidency.  

If the system in those states was flawed, why the hell not?  The electors could still be set by the states in time for the electoral college, and new elections could be held with the corrected system for the down ballot races.

Geez.  This is the problem with conservatives.  Always cannot be done according to these people.  If a liberal court was in charge, they sure as hell throw it out.  Libs have done it before, or disregarded or reversed elections.

Texas Sues PA, GA, MI, and WI In U.S. Supreme Court To Have Legislatures Appoint Electors

Texas Sues PA, GA, MI, and WI In U.S. Supreme Court To Have Legislatures Appoint Electors


comment:

This one is getting a lot of attention.   We're past the safe harbor date, for what that's worth.  One of the arguments against moving the date that the electors vote is that Congress sets the date, and only Congress can change that.

There's a lot of arguments for and against Texas' suit, but most seem to be skeptical of this case.

Too bad.  It may be the last chance to reverse this.  If the Supreme Court cannot intervene in a fraud case, in what cases can it intervene?  In other words, if other things, why not this???

Newsom’s new lockdown in California triggered by totally normal numbers

Newsom’s new lockdown in California triggered by totally normal numbers



The numbers mentioned in the piece relates to the number of ICU beds. The California governor is treating this normal situation as something abnormal. All for a nothingburger.

The Behind the Black blog also has election news.
