Democrats to Aim to Subvert Democracy

 I was just listening to a briefing by Jim Rickards, who describes this coming election, November 6, as possibly, but possibly not, giving a slim lead to the Democrats in the House.  The likelihood is that the GOP will retain the Senate, although the margins for both are small.  If the Democrats do win the House--whether or not they win the Senate--they will use their slim majority to threaten both Trump and Kavanaugh with impeachment. Never mind that Ruth Bader Ginsburg breached basic canons of judicial ethics and went around advocating for her backward political views.  The Democrats' belief in democracy is this:  Any election they win is fair; any election they lose needs to be overturned.

Without having studied the key districts that are at stake, I'm not sure that polls have much meaning following their failure in 2016.

More on Kavanaugh Hearing

Tom Fitton on Fox Business News claims that an FBI investigation will be incapable of revealing additional information concerning Kavanaugh's 15-year-old spin-the-bottle activities.  Fitton characterizes Dianne Feinstein as corrupt because she withheld the allegations until right before the  vote or because she knows the allegations to be false and released them anyway.

The selective exaggeration of personal information about politicians with whom the Democrats disagree--no matter how dated or irrelevant--is about power, not about morality or concern about a youngster's sexual misdeeds. 

The issue here is that the Democrats do not want the Republicans to appoint a justice who abides by the written Constitution and does not favor the so-called "living Constitution," the penumbra theory of Griswold v. Connecticut.  The penumbra theory is dictatorial and places excessive power in the hands of the judiciary.

The Constitutional process for amendement requires ratification by three-fourths of the states. How much easier it is to subvert democracy in the interest of any policy that satisfies the Democrats' dictatorial whims.

The Democrats are a demagogic, slandering party that subverts the democratic change processes in the Constitution and favors a dictatorship by judges and the president--a dictatorship of 10 people out of more than 300 million.

The Romans reserved the role of dictator to war or crisis situations. The Democrats know no such limitation. They believe in permanent dictatorship, and they will slander anyone who threatens it. Republicans need to start thinking like Longinus, Albinus, and Brutus--sic semper tyrannis.

The American media's cooperation with the Democrats' dictatorial display is a disgrace, and it deserves little commentary.  The media is a lost cause.

Kavanaugh: A Modest Proposal

This is a satirical piece in the tradition of Swift's (1729) Modest Proposal.  Swift proposes that the Irish relieve their poverty by selling their children as food for the wealthy British. He writes:

I have been assured by a very knowing American of my acquaintance in London, that a young healthy child well nursed, is, at a year old, a most delicious nourishing and wholesome food, whether stewed, roasted, baked, or boiled; and I make no doubt that it will equally serve in a fricasie, or a ragoust. 

I wrote the following short blog in light of the defamation that Judge Kavanaugh has suffered at the hands of his political opponents. It is intended to be taken in the same light as Swift's claim that Irish children should be eaten. I was surprised to learn that some readers took me literally, claiming that I advocate rape. This in turn has resulted in a demonstration against me at Brooklyn College. 

Given that it is unclear that Kavanaugh did a thing, the defamation that he has suffered at the hands of the media is a disgrace.  Intolerance of and defamation of anyone who does not toe the big government line are ongoing threats to freedom. The humiliation that Judge Kavanaugh has suffered is a disgrace.

Perhaps more time should be spent on Horace and Swift, and less time on political indoctrination in college. The blog follows.


If someone did not commit sexual assault in high school, then he is not a member of the male sex.  The Democrats have discovered that 15-year- olds play spin-the-bottle, and they have jumped on a series of supposed spin-the-bottle crimes during Kavanaugh's minority, which they characterize as rape, although no one complained or reported any crime for 40 years.

The Democrats have become a party of tutu-wearing pansies, totalitarian sissies who lack  virility, a sense of decency, or the masculine judgment that has characterized the greatest civilizations: classical Athens, republican Rome, 18th century Britain, and the 19th century United States. They use anonymity and defamation in their tireless search for coercive power.

The Kavanaugh hearing is a travesty, and if the Republicans are going to allow the sissy party to use this travesty to stop conservatism, then it is time found a new political party.  In the future, having committed sexual assault in high school ought to be a prerequisite for all appointments, judicial and political.  Those who did not play spin-the-bottle when they were 15 should not be in public life.
