Anarchy

13 Oct 18 “Liberals never defend their position with legitimate, logical argument, because their position is ever incoherent and indefensible.

7 Oct 18 “Claims were repeated, then recycled as established ‘facts’ by the media. ‘Journalism’ created and painstakingly fed a public mood, and brooked no other version of the story.” Sue Richardson The Kavanaugh Confirmation: Few Supreme Court nominees have ever had the impeccable credentials of Brett Kavanaugh! During the “regular” hearing, no Democrat could […]

Doxing

4 Oct 18 “Doxing,” latest weapon in the arsenal of leftist, political terrorists! Professing “liberals,” (Marxists) who piously assert that our faithful adherence to Constitutional values is “abhorrent,” “raciest,”and “obscene,” have defaulted to this new low in violent political tactics: “Doxing” “Doxing” is the Internet-based practice of researching and then broadcasting private, identifiable information about […]
