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.

That's a sad subject in my area. Our anchor store for the mall was a Montgomery Ward. A local Indian tribe claimed the housewares section was on sacred land and took it over. The store went out of business because 78% of their profits were from spatula sales. Now all we have for shopping is an old guy in a beat up Econoline van who moves hot merchandise every Tuesday morning. By the time I get there all the good stuff is usually gone.

Damn Indians.



Oh I concur.  After all, the Injuns gave us Fauxahontas Warren after all.

Of greater concern is that white Econoline van sitting outside a kids store on Tuesday mornings.

  Not even Orange Kyptonite would have saved Sen. Cruz against the Trump onslaught, America was angry, and rightfully so but I'm gonna send him some of this, just in case, Belated Birthday (46):

How do you know it is his birthday? First off, he is Lyin' Ted so whatever he says it is, he is lying. Secondly the Canadian calendar is in metric, so whatever date he give you, you have to divide it by 64. Lastly I refer to the fact that he is called Lyin' Ted again.

   He was born in the house of Sagittarius Frank (12/22), his last birthday he pondered how he, the product of an American Citizen, formally holding Canadian Residency and a Cuban who tried to kill a President, 'How could I possibly lose to that Moron', I'm sure it was quite depressing.

Quote from: Txradioguy
He wants single payer.

Yep. Remember Trump telling us in the primaries that we weren't compassionate (have a heart) if we didn't support healthcare for everyone. Just a week or so didn't he comment how Australia (I think it was there) had better healthcare than us lowly Americans. He gloated over the Canadian healthcare in his book. How people missed this during the primaries is beyond me.

It wasn't rocket science, Trump is a big government liberal and always was.

I'm pretty sure we can blame the Canadian Metric Calendar on the Indians.

In fact, let's just blame Canada for everything and I think we can solve all our problems.

People didn't 'miss' that, they forcibly ignored it, especially if someone pointed it out. Besides, if anyone mentioned Canada, the same people who poo-poohed "birthers" with the Kenyan went all Orly Taitz on Cruz.

Pointing that out on TOS resulted in that person getting banned.

And not rather, (as we be slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say,) Let us do evil, that good may come? whose damnation is just. - Romans 3:8

That is EXACTLY what "evangelical Christian leaders" were saying.  Evil doesn't matter because good will come of it.

 A dangerous, and decidedly unbiblical decision, and I don't believe it is without consequence.....

@Sighlass
Character still matters.  It always matters.

I wear a mask as an exercise in liberty and love for others.  To see it as an infringement of liberty is to entirely miss the point.  Be kind.

For your sake and the sake of your family, I do hope you have a Plan B at the ready.  @Hoodat  ....  You're going to need it.

@Right_in_Virginia

For you alone my dear!

"Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet deprecate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightening. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle. Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did, and it never will. Find out just what a people will submit to, and you have found out the exact amount of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them; and these will continue until they are resisted with either words or blows, or with both. The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress."

Frederick Douglass August 4, 1857

Still as true as the day he said it!

"Rectal" has been banned? One of these days I have to quit my business so I can be here when this crazy stuff goes down.


to set the record straight..... *****rollingeyes*****

Yesterday, I was making a point that the NT-SOCONS would be an even SMALLER percentage of the Body Politic-Republican Party, and therefore would lose MORE of their power/voice.

....unless they were the "rectum"....a tiny part of the body that has an awful lot to say about how things will run.

And the ONLY reason I made that post was because he called me "garbage boy"

@flowers, btw...when you go back to TOS and Jim is talking about the new server he needs money for, you might want to ask him what happened to the new server he bought about three years ago.  The site crashed during every one of the 2012 debates, and on election night.  He seemed really excited when he and John bought the thing.

It sure didn't last long....

Well let me end the mystery for you. Much of it goes in Jim's pocket, some goes in John's pocket, and the change that's left over goes to purchase bandwidth and for equipment maintenance/replacement.

Hope that clears things up for you.

I get that people will believe their own lies so that they feel better about themselves and why they believe and do certain things.  But when they expect us to believe their lies it's just perplexing and sad and a hassle.  But, good for you for being willing to call them to task.  It takes effort, but is worth it.
