We all know that when a leftist runs out of argument, we know what is next, right? RACIST!   The end all of arguments.  How do you disprove that you are a racist?  But lately there is a new term that is gaining traction, especially in light of the shooting in El Paso. WHITE NATIONALIST! Now I am supposing that this is to blend the concepts of White Supremacy with nationalism, mix it in with a preconceived notion of national  SOCIALISM (NAZI) and abracadabra, You have an alt right monster.  A White Supremacist Nationalist I suppose.  But to say, use the term white nationalist as interchangeable?  Well, they are trying, I can only surmise, so as to capture those Trump supporters that are NOT racist, but believe in the greatness of the United States, and happen to be white.  They are trying to make all of Trump supporters out as racists.  That is where we are today in the US.  We can't just have differences, we have to be us vs them, right vs wrong.  Good vs evil.

Lowering flags is a sign of respect, and while we do show respect for those that were pointlessly massacred by two lunatics, is lowering flags really the best way to do that?  To me that is acquiescing to those that are seeking their moment of glory.

They don't accept the uniqueness that is the United States, or that our culture is better than others.  They look for cracks, they look for problems and highlight them. This wing includes a large number of people that were paid to disrupt his campaign rallies, and supporters of opponents and their supporters. On the oth

While the Tea Party may continue on in some small grass roots organizations or on some local and state levels, nationally it died.  It never managed to do more than be a nuisance to the federal leviathan, and it has now died a quiet death. Whenever you hear about bipartisan cooperation in DC beware, it usually means massive spending, and spending without paying for it.  The just passed budget resolution hands social spending to the Democrats, defense spending to the GOP, removing the Budget caps from 2011, and caps on deficit spending.  For you dear reader it would be like getting a notice from Capital One saying that you have no limit on your credit card, and as long as you make the minimum payments, that won't change. All the stops have been pulled.  All the while, Social Security is hemorrhaging cash, because of past deficit spending.  Regardless of that spending, contrary to what most believe, in 17 years, if that long, all of those IOUs will be spent, and automatic reducti
