Footnotes to Plato from the foothills of the Superstition Mountains

Terrorism and Anti-Semitism

Two more reasons to vote for Trump.  Ask yourself two simple questions.

Will the likelihood of terrorist events in the homeland be greater under Trump or under Harris with her open-border policy? Will there be more anti-semitic acts under Trump or under Harris with her casual and tolerant attitude toward crime?  The questions answer themselves, and in the affirmative, obviously. Now I can't expect a leftist to care about the second question. But even a leftist will care about the first unless she is completely out of her mind.

The case for Trump, all things considered, is overwhelmingly strong. There  is no case for Harris.  Her 'case' is merely a pile of anti-Trump lies and distortions.  She is a brazen liar, as is now perfectly evident, as well as being unfit for high office in other respects. 

You have a legal right to your opinion. But you have a moral obligation to do your best to form correct opinions.*  This obligation leftists fail to fulfill. So I hereby exercise my legal right to free speech by condemning them morally.

Bear in mind that these swine are working to eliminate said legal right.

The line it is drawn
The curse it is cast
The slow one now
Will later be fast
As the present now
Will later be past
The order is rapidly fadin’
And the first one now will later be last
For the times they are a-changin’

Time to "turn the page." Time for "hope and change." This may well be our last chance to save our republic. But whatever the outcome of the election, the "battle outside raging" (Biblical Bob again) will rage on. So get ready.

*Note that I did not say that one has a moral obligation to form correct opinions. I said that one has a moral obligation to do one's best to form correct opinions. This is because one cannot be morally obliged to do something one is unable to do. 'Ought' implies 'can.'  Ultra posse nemo obligatur. 

Talk-jock Dennis Prager has said that one has a moral obligation to be happy. That is false as it stands, and for the reason I gave.

    Thanks to Bro Joe for the link, and to ‘Biblical Bob’ for the verse.

    In 2020 I saw in the reports of the riots, a pure abdication by those in elected office.
    Nothing more. And there are no excuses.
    When you abdicate, you have removed yourself.
    These elected officials’ abdication must be accepted for what it is. It doesn’t matter to me if it creates a sort of terra incognito for the lawyers’ world.
    Lawyers are smart, trained, etc. Tackle the issues then, put the lawyer skills in patriotic service to our beloved republic, to preserve it. If you, the lawyer, were not born in an ‘easy’ time, does that matter? We don’t choose when and where we are born.
    The basis of civilization in this discussion is to:
    1. protect liberty,
    2. protect life,
    3. protect property.
    That is the starting point. There is no other starting point.
    All the rest of the ‘discussion’ is blathering because it leaves the abdicators in their offices.
    This is the political territory, post abdication.
    We go from there.
    All the best good folks,

    Brother Ingvar rightly mentions the protection of Life, Liberty and Property as the basis of Civilization, and the purpose of government; and I have come to understand, in my 8th decade, that those three things equate to being left alone; and so now I consider “democracy” to be a system the purpose of which is to enable other people to push me around, and really, not very civil at all.

    Our founders depended on prayer.
    The pilgrims would not disembark until the Mayflower Compact, a prayerful document, was executed.
    They did not, would not, set foot on this continent until then.
    What does that tell me?
