Daniel Hannan in particular is a peculiar weathervane but he is down on the Tories being able to get a No Deal without an election.; 5/30/19, 8:21 PM

JackWayne said...: Two amusing things about the comments: the Remainers absolutely despise Farage and use the same sort of class insults that are used on Trump while the Brexiters say that Farage is OK BUT he has his issues. To quote Megadeth, “You said I wasn’t kind. Yeh, just not YER kind.” The Second is that the Brexiters are shy voters. They won’t come out for Farage but you can tell from the comments that they kind of trust BoJo and if he falters the implication is that Gove and the other dwarves will not get the vote and Farage will. They want to Brexit and will vote that way in the general.; 5/30/19, 8:46 PM
Drago said...: JackWayne: "the Remainers absolutely despise Farage and use the same sort of class insults that are used on Trump while the Brexiters say that Farage is OK BUT he has his issues."

We are seeing the same thing in Canada where the conservatives are rising in many provincial races and are polling above Trudeau.

And why not? Why would Canada be exempt from all movements sweeping the entire West due to the undeniable and repeated failures of the world neo-liberal order?

The neo-liberal order could reform itself and stop these movements in their tracks, but instead they have decided to replace their voters.

reader said...: Ticks are supposed to be bad this year. Vector control is warning that ticks with tularemia (rabbit fever) have been already been found. So dogs are at risk. The ticks were found in same canyon in which a mountain lion attacked a little boy. The mountain lion was found and killed because it was agressive and didn’t appear to be afraid of people. I’m not trying to connect the two incidents.

I’ve already found a tick crawling across the bath room floor. Yuk.; 5/30/19, 10:43 PM
Lewis Wetzel said...: Why do so many college students accept what they are taught in college as incontrovertible truth? You don't have to do a lot of research to discover that the "woke" picture of the world is flat-out wrong. In the workplace, racial discrimination and discrimination based on sex has been illegal since the 1960s. There are biological differences between men and women that cannot be altered by hormones and surgery. A free marketplace will always distribute scarce goods more efficiently than the government.
Yet it seems that if a college prof tells them "what you learned from your peers and your parents, and in grade school and secondary school was wrong," they seem to accept it without question.
Maybe they are fooling themselves into thinking that, because they paid for it, what they are taught has greater value than the free education they received before they were adults?; 5/30/19, 10:46 PM
Lewis Wetzel said...: "Blogger madAsHell said...

I have a sibling who is into hunting wild mushrooms. Gives him a practical reason for a happy hike through the woods. I said the same thing as madAsHell to him. He told me that it's not that hard to avoid bad mushrooms. If you are in doubt, bite off a tiny piece, and spit it out if it is bitter, but you really shouldn't be in doubt at all.; 5/30/19, 10:51 PM

Lewis Wetzel said...: Here are a pair of interesting & conflicting essays about David French. French is the #NeverTrumper promoted by Bill Cristol as an alternative to Trump in the 2016 election. This is the anti-French piece from First Things, by Sohrab Ahmari, the opinion page editor of the NY Post:
https://www.firstthings.com/web-exclusives/2019/05/against-david-french-ism
And here is an answer to Ahmari, from French's colleague at National Review, Michael Brendan Dougherty: https://www.nationalreview.com/2019/05/defense-of-david-french/
Ahmari wins on points, I think, because he is more direct. He names French, the positions he takes, and attacks them. Dougherty's defense of French is a call for unity.
The most interesting part of the tit-for-tat is Ahmari's claim that French's problem is that he endorses the Protestant idea of individual autonomy. Ahmari attacks this notion on religious grounds. The only basis we have for making collective decisions about how the individual shall behave are ideological, these decisions must be made if we are to have a common culture, and religion (explicitly Christianity) is a better choice than nationalism or Marxism. Dougherty doesn't quite seem to understand Ahmari's argument. Dougherty thinks that Ahmari is attacking French, and not "Frenchism."; 5/31/19, 12:06 AM

Lewis Wetzel said...: Narciso, what annoys me most about the #NeverTrumpers (explicitly French and his NR colleague, Jonah Goldberg), is their idea that Facebook, Youtube, Twitter, et alia, are operating in a free market environment.
They are not. Choosing to publish on Youtube rather than Vimeo for your enterprise is not like choosing between Goodrich and Goodyear tires for your car.
The intellectual defenders of free market capitalism on the Right seem to not understand how free market capitalism works at all. The goal of free market capitalists is to rent-seek and eliminate competition, because this is how you make investors happy. Duh!; 5/31/19, 12:32 AM

As for that mushroom: eating wild mushrooms is, to me, carries a similar life risk profile as attempting to summit Mt. Everest. Not gonna do it, not even a little nibble to see if it is bitter.

I guess he looked at how well it worked for Republicans against Clinton and decided that he wanted the Democrats to get some of that action.

For the same reason so many church-goers accept what they are taught in church as incontrovertible truth. Or why so many Republicans/Democratics accept what their party leaders tell them is the incontrovertible truth.

Most people simply accept what they are being told is the truth as the truth and leave it at that. However - the Big Test of Life is taking all the available info and figuring it out for yourself, but unfortunately too many people fail that test.; 5/31/19, 11:40 AM
Bruce Hayden said...: “You never hear discussions on what would result if impeachment is tried and the left falls short of a majority. Pelosi must fear that as much or more than the fallout from impeachment passing in the house.”

I think the best of both worlds for Republicans would be for the Dem controlled House to vote out articles of impeachment, and the Republican controlled Senate the laugh at them. The only way, probably, to get to the required 218 House votes would probably be for a number of Trump district Dem Representatives to vote for impeachment, and that would likely mean losing their seats in the next election. Probably the best chance that Republicans have of retaking control over the House.; 5/31/19, 11:46 AM
Lewis Wetzel said...: "For the same reason so many church-goers accept what they are taught in church as incontrovertible truth."
How often do you attend church, purplepenguin?
A few months ago I attended my Lutheran Church's men's prayer group. We watched a short video on the life of the apostle Paul. In the discussion that followed, two of the six men present identified themselves as heretics -- one believed the Father was greater than the Son, and another did not believe that the Bible was more than a "book of stories." No one suggested they be forced to recant their sinful beliefs, much less burn them alive. Instead there was discussion (with occasional eye-rolling).
It depends on the denomination, of course, but there is not much in Christianity that is taught to be incontrovertible truth. These truths are usually expressed in the various creeds, and, at least in my church, while some congregants are happy to speak the words, they have deep problems with believing them to be incontrovertible truth.; 5/31/19, 1:00 PM
purplepenquin said...: "How often do you attend church, purplepenguin?"

More than you're probably assuming I do - but not nearly as often as my mother would like me to.

"No one suggested they be forced to recant their sinful beliefs, much less burn them alive. Instead there was discussion (with occasional eye-rolling)."

Well, if THAT is the standard being used then (despite your earlier claim) there is not much in college classrooms that are taught to be incontrovertible truths either.

What I need to say, or rather ask, is, why are you such a freaking lunatic control freak, Ann? College professor? You should have taught third grade! You'd be the perfect dried-up schoolmarm.

You create more interest saying don't talk about it than there would have been in anybody talking about it. Oh my God they did Baby It's Cold Outside. When do the firing squads begin? Alert the freaking media. Is that the one you're talking about?

It's like Mike Sylvester or whoever goes on about purple elephants. Once you say don't think about purple elephants, it is impossible not to think about purple elephants.
