That stuff like milk, pop, beer, snack foods and, in one place, gasoline are in short supply in the greater Carbondale area….This despite the merchants slightly raising prices, stocking more,  and arranging for extra deliveries of such items in advance in expectation of thousands of people arriving this weekend for the eclipse.

Apparently some folks are terribly upset that the merchants, private business all, failed to properly prepare for the event and have made their displeasure known, loudly.

Not everyone gets it.

If I still had stocks of milk and groceries and ice and beer and pop, I’d triple the prices for anyone who doesn’t live in the community.

What total fucking ignorant savages they are, the idiotic Mob which wants statues torn down because “Confederacy!”, who have the historical knowledge of 4 year olds and who are also, apparently, illiterate, have trashed a statue of Joan of Arc with spray painted graffiti.

But then again, that seems to be the mold most Leftists made from, innit? Childish, emotional, whiney, immature, prone to outbursts, lacking self control, unwilling to educate themselves about the real issues, easily led and prone to mob action with poor impulse control….who were never properly spanked as children….. (I think that covers it….if I missed any other needed descriptions, please, let me know in comments) 

‘Cause we all know that Joan was really a great leader of the Confederacy……

Steve Bannon gone from the Trump team.

I find this disturbing because he was one of Trump’s advisors who inspired confidence.

We shall see. I still think when we as a nation hired TheDonald we made the best of the bad choices we were presented. Donald still scares me less than the Pantsuit still does. 

So now it is a “Woman’s Right to choose her own Reproductive Path”. (using Government subsidized birth control and/or abortion)

Ok, I kinda get that. He body, her choice and all that.

But if that is the case, then she can’t sue some dude for getting her pregnant either. He wants to choose his path too. And it is half his DNA.

Group plans to tear down Confederate memorial in Houston.

Long way away from me (like an entire day’s drive, 20+ hours), but I think If I were closer I’d be there, not to defend the Confederacy, but to defend the statue from vandalism….It is, after all, public property.

Especially since these folks are doing mob action. I hate that. Destruction of a symbol because of the “Hate Du Jour” is a Bad Idea.

It is, essentially, a symbolic Lynching.

If we tear down  every statue that someone finds offensive, change the name of every park that is named after someone whose past is not on the approved list,,burn all the history books that don’t tell the currently approved story of the country’s past, and essentially go Whole Hog PC to satisfy the people who are pushing this purge….

Will that affect one black person’s future? Will it fix the problems in the black community? Deal with the cultural issues that keep  many young black males from graduating, change the fact that great numbers of young black women have children BEFORE graduating, most black women raise their children without a father (or often leave them to be raised by their grandmothers…who are often unmarried themselves)….Will it keep the gang violence from happening in black neighborhoods? Will it keep the drug violence from the gangs from happening? Will it suddenly make the community HELP the police, instead of “I Din See Nuttin’ “? Will it keep young blacks from going on rampages of fighting and orgies of stealing that makes every other race look at them suspiciously?

Will it help them find jobs that they cannot currently qualify for because those higher paying jobs require that one not have a criminal record and that you pass a drug screen? That you speak plain english?

Will pulling down all those statues fix any of that? Really? Will those issues change overnight because we banned the Confederate history, flag and monuments?

Will it right any of the wrongs that occurred 4 and 5 and 6 generations ago? Will it change any of the history?

WILL IT FIX ANYTHING?

How the Left and the Liberals (but I repeat myself) can only parrot the current meme and the current version of history?

No one can do any research. None of them can be be bothered to check if the current reason for the outrage of the day is actually accurate.

They just climb on that bandwagon and scream and hoot and REACT with the rest of the primates, secure in their belief that the crowd is always right. (or the State) and that their arbitrary and poorly thought out  actions (if they are thought at all) will be justified.

It is no wonder that they are opposed by mature, right thinking folks.

Are they too blind or too stupid to see they are being led? Herded like cattle by those who would stir their emotions to gain? Like 3 year olds? One would expect that children could be easily led, but these are  otherwise intelligent (if overly emotional) adults.

I find the reactions of some of my fellow citizens to be scary, in a  “1984” sort of way

Next up: Washington Memorial.

Sharpton wants the Thomas Jefferson Memorial to come down. 

Watch the video at the bottom. It is telling.

(Notice how the death of the two Troopers in a helicopter accident is blamed on the protests (and notice how Sharpton is led to say the things Charlie Rose wants him to say))

Shot in Chicago last night.

Even a 16 year old shot in the head at 4 PM.

A very Urban neighborhood on the South Side of Chicago.

Guess those statues coming down didn’t help.

Odd.

Just like making the Confederate Flag a hate symbol didn’t fix things a few years ago…

Maybe it isn’t the symbols that are the problem?

(It was supposed to be fiction)

“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.”
― George Orwell, “1984”
