Its no secret that many people suffer from a logic deficiency, but only liberals seem to regard it as a virtue.

For instance, when its pointed out to them that of the millions of gun owners in America, only a tiny percentage will ever use them for criminal purposes, they continue to call for the abolition of the Second Amendment. At the same time, they ignore the obvious fact that, as solutions go, that would be as idiotic as dealing with drunk drivers by confiscating all motor vehicles and turning us into a nation of pedestrians.

Or consider the nutty notion thats been floating around for a long time called universal basic income. Because its so absurd, it should come as no surprise that it is being championed presently by Senator Bernie Sanders. Because Sanders apparently never took a math class, he believes that the federal government can fund any fantasy he can come up with, whether free college tuition or $ 15,000 a year to every American. 

When people who still have a connection to reality point out that the amount required to fund his pipedream would be more significant than the entire federal budget, Sanders, who sees the world through the eyes of a child, an extremely backward child, would say we can always print more money. After all, thats what they say over at the Hasbro Corporation when theres a sudden demand for more Monopoly games.

The basic idea behind the universal basic income scheme is that once you provide a financial floor for people, they will decide to get off their duffs and find a job. That might be the case on Jupiter, but here on earth, when you give people money they havent worked for, we call it welfare, and there has been no indication over the years that those who receive it suddenly feel motivated to rush out and earn even more by the sweat of their brow. And why would they when the Socialists Democrats are always around promising to give them more in exchange for their votes?

The fundamental failing of socialism, even before it morphs into communism, is that it requires that the laws governing human nature be repealed.

Whereas there are certain flaws in capitalism that allow villains to use it to cheat and even subjugate their fellow human beings, at least it doesn’t require that we act in ways that are totally incompatible with our very nature.

For instance, in demanding that we all share equally, even with those we dislike and those who dont work as well as we do or who dont work at all, its asking that we behave in a way that would tax even the patience of saints.

Competition is second-nature to most of us. We compete with siblings for our parentsaffection; we compete for grades; we compete on the athletic field; we compete for promotion; some compete for fame, while most compete for mates. But those like Elizabeth Warren, Chuck Schumer, and Bernie Sanders, who themselves compete for power and influence, would have us believe we shouldnt even compete for a living wage.

The kindest thing you can say for them is that theyre hopelessly delusional. The most authentic thing you can say about them is that theyre blankety-blank hypocrites.

On over 200 college campuses, you will find bias response teams” to investigate thought crimes perpetrated by those who still dont understand that campuses these days are not merely gun-free zones but are also First Amendment-free zones.

In these leftist enclaves, students are encouraged to snitch on their schoolmates if they overhear something that offends their infantile ears. 

Clearly, these biased response teams are based on similar groups that were encouraged to act as censors in Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union. The chief difference is that the American college students who run afoul of these bullies only face expulsion; in the cesspools ruled by Adolph Hitler and Joseph Stalin, the victims face death.

I was sent a cartoon in which President Trump explains to a cobra identified as Iran: America only makes deals it can shake on.”

Speaking of which, when you pause to realize how beneficial Trump has been to the nations economy through his tax policies; his de-fanging of the EPA with its oppressive regulations; and his demands that American companies bring their factories and their offshore profits back to the homeland; and couple all of that with the progress he has made in neutering North Korea and Iran and letting our trading partners understand that we will no longer be played for suckers; one can only imagine how well off we would be if the Democrats hadnt sworn a blood oath to stop him by all possible means.

Any conservative who fails to vote for the Republican candidates this election because they fail to pass some sort of imaginary litmus test should change his registration to Socialist Democrat because he will be helping to ensure that Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi will still be calling the shots in 2023.

You can complain all you like about RINOs, but as Dan Bongino, appearing on Life, Liberty & Levin,” pointed out: A number of Republicans in Congress are actually Democrats, but not a single Democrat in Congress is a Republican.” Far more lasting damage is being done to America by creeps with federal badges with the power and authority of the FBI, NSA, and Justice Department behind them.
