NeoNote — John McCain
❝❝For the record, I'm from Arizona. I've also actively worked against John McCain's reelection for decades. I was willing to give him a pass until the Keating Five scandal.NeoNotes are the selected comments that I made on other boards, in email, or in response to articles where I could not respond directly.
Being a prisoner of war doesn't not give license later in life to screw your constituents. John McCain is selfish, as proven by his last stunt. There's almost no chance of his returning to the Senate. So why hasn't he resigned? Why did he even run in 2016?
I don't care if it was talking about George Washington. John McCain is a dishonorable scumbag who is in it only for political advantage. He's cashed in on that POW experience so many times that it ought to have disintegrated by now.
I can't help but wonder if it would have defending John McCain so hard in 2008.
No. I mean running for office when one is pretty sure one will be dead before the term ends.
That should have been incredibly obvious by how I worded it.
Obviously your understanding lacks something. If you are not sure what I mean, ask me and I will explain.
One thing I will explain now is that I am not Republican.
ETA: Speaking of incredibly selfish actions, why is anyone discussing John McCain's funeral and his disagreement with Trump before the man has passed?
But why is McCain's funeral being discussed in the national press? And don't tell me it's because McCain is a National Figure.
It's not anyone's business except the family until after the man has passed.
Unless McCain thought he could get one more bit of of political posturing at Trump's expense out of it.
Like I said, the man is selfish.
I wish I could agree. Unfortunately, the man fancies himself a part-time kingmaker and has done harm to my state.
And. You. Are. Not. Allowed. To. Criticize
Sometimes not even then.
You get lectured on how he is an Institution.
Goldwater was an institution, and earned that status. Funny thing is, he didn't have people around him telling other people how important he was.
I met Goldwater when I was in high school. He makes McCain look like a drunk javelina with a missing back leg.❞❞

☆ Government should be governed
Wednesday - 28Jun2017 Filed in: Liberty
Last week I took on the press. This week I take on the politicos.
Government exists for one reason and one reason only. Government exists to protect freedom. Not to govern, but to protect.
That's a different way of looking at things, isn't it?
Take education. There is not one blessed thing in the Constitution about the Federal government controlling or influencing education. Which means under the Tenth Admendment, it isn't allowed to do so.
Marriage? Not one thing.
Approving of medicines and medical devices? Not one thing.
Yet our legislatures and our President think that it is within government's power.
There were 115 Public Laws passed by Congress in 2016. Do you know what they are? I don't. And by the way, "Ignorance of the law is no excuse."
I know that under Obama, there were more than 21,000 regulations added to the Federal Register. That's not pages, that's actual regulations. I don't know what more than a fraction of those are.
Do you think we might have just a little bit too much government?
According to politicos, every problem has a government solution. Including the problems caused by government. Yes, the Official® Solution to government power is More Government. More law! More rules! More technocrats!
Less liberty.
That's how it really works. Every time government acts, you are less free. Every time that government acts, it costs you money. Every time that government acts, government grows.
Every time. Every single time.
And when someone comes along and says government should be smaller, why, that is a Threat to the American Way of Life!
Except, when did more government become the American Way of Life?
Shouldn't we have smaller government?
Shouldn't we have more freedom?
Shouldn't we have more personal responsibility?
Your choice.
