It Eats Its Tail Eventually: Iowa Matters Because We Say It Matters Because We Say It Matters

My brain hurts:  As I’ll explain, Iowa became super important because we — the media, party insiders, activists, the candidates themselves, and even voters to an extent — gradually decided to make it so important. These key players think the caucus results reveal a great deal about which candidates can win elections elsewhere, and the contest for Iowa isn’t really a contest for delegates — it’s a contest to look good in their eyes. [snip] Like it or not, the Iowa results appear to be hugely important in determining who the major parties’ presidential nominees will be — particularly when … Continue reading It Eats Its Tail Eventually: Iowa Matters Because We Say It Matters Because We Say It Matters

Iowa Caucus Morning After: Apologize for This, Jackasses

Here’s that f-bomb that just dropped on MSNBC: #iacaucus pic.twitter.com/v4f7dZDPrg — PolicyMic (@PolicyMic) February 2, 2016 “I haven’t gotten benefits for 3 months.” Forget whatever she said after that. That’s the part we should all be talking about. That’s what should have prompted the gasps of shock and awe. That’s what Brian Williams should have apologized for, live on the air, because that was said by a veteran, in America, and that is far more shocking and appalling than any expletive. The prudes were falling all over themselves to apologize for her language, though, because what we call a thing … Continue reading Iowa Caucus Morning After: Apologize for This, Jackasses

First World Problems

Meanwhile in Oregon, it seems to be Festivus: The four occupiers who remain at the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in Oregon say that they can no longer make calls or access the Internet. Three of the remaining militiamen cannot make or receive calls, while David Fry, the group’s self-appointed tech guru, can still receive incoming calls, according to Oregon Public Broadcasting. The occupiers told Oregon Public Broadcasting that they are not sure whether power to the refuge has been cut off since they have been using a generator. After the group’s leader, Ammon Bundy, was arrested last week along with … Continue reading First World Problems

Today on Tommy T’s Obsession with the Freeperati – one-man revolution edition

Well, people – it looks like American Revolution II (the sequel) has kicked off in fine style.

As has one of the squatters. (I won’t dignify that bunch of rejects and wannabes with words like “militants” or “terrorists”)

Keyboard Kommandos – this is IT!  This is what you’ve all been waiting for! Will you leave the comfort of your homes and double-wides and take off for Oregon to avenge tarp-man?

Now it’s time for more patriots to organize and confront these murderers and not let them off like we did with Ruby Ridge and Waco. We have to make them murder a lot more of us if they ever want to impose their tyranny. The Oath Keepers group had differences with these guys but made it clear they wouldn’t be silent and allow another Ruby Ridge or Waco incident without acting. If the group wants to remain a credible patriot group it’s leadership has to step up now.

Oath Creepers – ATTACK!!!

We are working on maintaining a calm presence in town and are still acting as a buffer between the Refuge and the FBI. We stand by our order of STAND BY at this time. No Call To Actions have been issued.

Well, dang.

And I do notice that as of this morning, you’re still home, my darling clementine – but when you get that “call to action” you’ll spring into action.

Maybe.

We didn’t want it to start this way, but maybe future historians will count this event similar to Harper’s Ferry in the First Civil War. GOD help us all. More are going to die.

The Feds wanted to send a message to the peasants … this was it. Now we will see whether we are free men or serfs

Seeing as it’s now Monday morning 6AM CST, and you’re still posting on Free Republic, I’d say that makes you a serfer, girl.

1/26/2016 the first shots of CW2 were fired by the FBI on American citizens. There are no more free Wacos.

2/1/2016 – the last shots of Jack Black were downed by the lonely guy hanging out until last call.
And I’m FROM Waco, sweetheart – ain’t nothing free there.
More bloody revolution after the Bunkum Hill…
