It pleases me that you see it that way, as entertainment, Jim. Why else are we here?

It's sort of like the old standby, Who would you invite to dinner from those who ever lived? I linger with the thought of Muhammad Ali for brio, entertainment.

(I'm told there's an MA museum in Louisville, Kentucky, where I'm visiting next month after a conservation talk in Washington. Is it any good?)

Oh Comrade King,

Enough with the "Moral Equivalency" and the attempt to claim "Victim Status" and draw me into your little statist cabal.

Obviously the "Money" wasn't the real factor in this election, as the Democrats clearly outspent the Republicans. The real money problem is unconstitutional vote-buying by corrupt statist politicians. I mean the statist neoslavery of forcing free and equal citizens into an involuntary exchange of goods and services in order to buy the votes of other Americans. That's the source of corruption in American politics, the creation of a statist, sociopathic, corrupt political class who's self interest is the destruction of the American economy in order to create an entitled, parasitic victim class in order to buy their votes. They're called Democrats, but they're really merely Reds of the Soviet school. Like yourself. They're the one's who are driving the decline of America.

Comrade King,

Have you ever read Sun-Tzu? (Sun-Zi)

Yes, a companion. Use him daily in my work.The great warrior isn't the one who wins 100 battles. He's the one who doesn't go into battle. He destroys his enemy's strategy.

I thought so. "Retreat when the enemy advances"....It's much easier to understand Mao in particular if you understand Sun-Zi..

mc, the world is moving faster than me, too. What was near-heresy as little as 10-15 years ago is now law by which we live: same-sex, gays, prohibitive gun regulations, invasions of privacy and property etc, all adjudicated by Supreme Court jurists of all party affiliations as constitutional, as here in Canada. There is often surprisingly near consensus for and against the parties that appointed them. Presidents and prime ministers have mandates for change. Any change in US direction in the near-term can come only from cooperation in the public interest, retreating from the most poisonous intransigence in the country's history.

Considering that the latest changes in US direction that has caused the poisonous intransigence were executed in a fundamentally corrupt fashion, and clearly against the public interest, (only in the interest of the Totalitarian State) asserting that cooperation is required is absurd. What is required is the Moral Courage and the sense of principle to oppose it.

Where's the moral courage going to come from, Ken? An electorate you appear to down-rate as a democratic mob? Politicians you appear to believe repress freedom by pandering to the electorate?

I would like to think personal moral courage for decency and fairness of everyday lives could be grafted onto the US body politic. Instead it presents the face of Misfires to its wonderful people and the world.

BS, King. Where were they last Tuesday, asleep at the wheel? Commoners commandeered the results Tuesday. In my little precinct there are 216 registered voters. When I left the polls at 6:30 p.m., 210 had voted.

Kochs, Bloombergs? Don't think so.

May God bless America and those who defend her.
