Leadership is vital to progress. Wisdom, insight, and foresight are indispensable to the endurance of nations. Civilization is never really jeopardized until able leadership begins to vanish. And the quantity of such wise leadership has never exceeded one per cent of the population.

Okay, this is too lively for me. Guess I'll go feed the pets.
Hm. Quiet here this morning. DHS already round up all the morons?
So I had a good night's sleep, got up with the birds, drove the pick-m-up around the place picking up fallen branches, started a nice burn pile, came back in for a cup of coffee, and it's still just the ONT?
What are the highlights of the last 800 comments? Did we win yet? o, yeh... good morning, brainiacs.
Wait, what? I can't be this early on the ONT.
And of course, I'm not. Me & the Mrs. gonna find us sumpin' to watch that's sweet or funny or explodey or black and white. Preferably all of the above.

"Is it time to finally admit the muzzies won the war on terror? I mean, it was declared to be over by TFG, wasn't it?" -BB
As I recall from the Authoritative comments of morons on AoS, a war is over when one side surrenders (presuming it is not first wiped out utterly). The US did not declare the Pacific War over on the USS Missouri in Tokyo Bay. You surrending? Okay then. Soldier on, for the Constitution and for the Nation for which that flag stands, to which I presume you have pledged your allegiance.
BTW, what's the plan again for when they take down all our sites and stop all our emails, after the next Unwasted Crisis? Short-wave networking? Satellite hijacking? Can they really catch or halt all the encrypted usenet and irc? Also that other thing, you know, "drink more Ovaltine.™" ;/

"If you're not doing anything illegal..."
Ah, the old standards. Prohib, yes, and every other kind of violation of the God-blessed Human Right. type type cut cut arrgh - words fail even my Tourette's-ish brain. (moar legal caf'd bev, stat!)
"George Orwell's 1984 ... ignored by most today."
We still find it to be an excellent guidebook.

"All of a sudden this man gets up and says, 'How long will you blame the previous administration for all of your problems?'" Albright recounted.
"I said, 'Forever.'"
The story prompted laughter and applause from the crowd.
DOJ's massive seizures are "modest encroachments".
IRS political oppression? modest encroachment
F'd up gun walking program? modest encroachment
Destroy churches? modest encroachment
Standout orders kill diplomats? modest encroachment
et too many cetera
Mankind is disposed to suffer while evils are insufferable. Therefore, we impose suffering gradually.

Not by the current admin's efforts, anyway, that's fer surely. Nor while "good" men do nothing.
Morning, y'all. I fig'd, if I'd post, that should help summon the morning thread.
ebopir... uck! Best of luck with the hand. Our bodies, our selves, not always as in accord with one another as we'd like.
Okay... morning thread, appear!
Drink more Ovaltine. I repeat, Drink more Ovaltine. cut. paste. repeat.
I nicknamed my entire arsenal Missy. After that time on the lake.
