  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

I get this is a "silliness" thread, but consider this:

It's wonderful that a certain number of homeowners are going to realize tremendous equity gains on their home's market value.

It may be enough to sustain them in their golden years.

But, with a stroke of a pen, the current "First $500K" of any real estate capital gain on your primary residence will NO LONGER BE exempt from federal taxes.

They'll probably start off demanding...by coincidence..., ten percent for "The Big Man".
Crap, I'd be happy to just be left to live in my house without all the property tax increases for money I might not ever see.

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.

From now on, I identify as someone not required to wear a mask.
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."     -Ayn Rand-

More like a 'Mind-your-own-damn-business-ite'.

  • WE are NOT ok!
I Believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.  I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies.

     @Gefn when I heard that lyric in a few songs 'She goes commando most of the time', I thought it meant she got mean, not that she was practically naked.    :whistle:

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.
