But, it damn well should have mattered to you whether the democrats were subversively trying to disenfranchise republican voters by leveling false claims against a republican president and trying to illegally impeach him!
@aligncare I'm still trying to figure out which portion of this sentence I wrote escaped you:
If indeed he has behaved impeachably, let it be so. If he hasn't, let it not be so.(Emphasis added for clarity.)
As for Democrats versus Republicans or Republicans versus Democrats (or let's call them what the
Wall Street Journal has long called them, Depublicans and Remocrats), whenever either of them held power they
both tried disenfranchising each other's voters at various times. Let them kill each other for all I care.
Because what I care about the most is what they care about the least.
And I care about freedom, what's left of it here and abroad.
I care about individual rights and responsibilities.
I care about a properly-construed
government, whose sole legitimate business---other than protecting and defending us from enemies actual and
provably iminent from abroad and predators at home (
real predators, if you please, and not mere vicemongers)---is to
stay the hell out of your business, my business, everyone's business,
until or unless one would obstruct or abrogate another's equivalent rights.
I
reject, as Depublicans and Remocrats alike do not and have long not, what we've had too long---the improperly-consecrated
State that sees fit to poke its nose and extend its tentacles into just about every last ounce of everyone's business despite the fact that it is neither competent nor constitutionally sanctioned to do so.
I registered as an independent voter long enough ago. I proudly voted "None of These Candidates" in 2016, and I did so only because Nevada doesn't allow a write-in vote. Were I allowed a write-in vote, I would have written in Groucho Marx for president, on three very solid grounds above and beyond my rejection of a choice between arsonists (one with a book of matches, one with a blow torch) to fight the fire consuming the country's house:
1) Groucho Marx once said, "Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it, misdiagnosing it, and misapplying the wrong solutions." Which showed more political wisdom than anything ejaculated by any actual or alleged presidential aspirant two years ago or amidst the current menagerie. (In today's politics, the secret word is
schmuck.)
2) As Artemus Ward once suggested wisely enough, "If we can't find a live man who amounts to anything, by all means let's have a first class corpse."
3) If the dead can vote in Chicago, the living shouldn't feel shy about voting
for the dead.
