It's so tempting to retort "I don't want EVERYone to die, just the stupid Communists!

I was posting to a Bookface group the other day, "Moving from CA to TX."  Some fellow was asking where's the best place in TX for a LGBTQ activist.  I told him, "Austin is the place for you!  Lots of like-minded people, and you won't be diluting the votes of the good people in the adjoining counties."

I got a pile of Likes on that.   :yowsa:

I was tending bar in a biker bar in the west end of ND and the phone rang. They asked me where all the gays in town went. I said "Fargo!" and hung up the phone.  Of course, someone overheard my simple reply, and when they found out what 'that was all about', I gained considerable notoriety.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Romans 12:16-21

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists.

I would have said "Juarez".
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

-Dwight Eisenhower-


"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."

Bonnie Tyler had a MASSIVE hit with that song,and then nothing.

She definitely had the chops to make it big,so I guess she just quit the biz after learning what a stressful hassle a tour can be.

Either that or she had no desire to play the chattel game. (Think Harvey and those scumbags of his ilk).

She had "Holding Out for a Hero" after that, which has had a strong afterlife even though it only hit #34 here... and a few other hits in Europe over the years.

When it comes to "Total Eclipse of the Heart," much of that was during that brief period of Steinmania when Jim Steinman was writing huge hits for several artists at the time: "Total Eclipse of the Heart" for Tyler, "Making Love out of Nothing at All" for Air Supply, "Read'em and Weep" for Barry Manilow, even his own "Rock and Roll Dreams Come Through." So on and so forth. Of course that was after he had fallen out with Meat Loaf for a time.

Whenever you meet a 25 year old smoking hot cutie...
Who is still a virgin and has no boyfriend or suitors.
She doesn't even have a single stalker after her.
THERE IS A REASON FOR THAT!
Not to dissuade the chase. Carry On. Go for it.
But just be advised. Be careful...and be armed.
Them chicks is dangerous...
