So Somehow I am Accused of Being An Anarcho
in what world?! This is, of course, due to the shooting. and the calling for people to not own firearms. three facts about k. 1. she owns no fire arms.
2. she has a pen
3. she is surrounded by peeps who tell her she is illogical about this. 4. she listens

One can make a perfect case for the Socialist Democrats to dump Hillary now that Bernie is finally out of it.
Since both the major groups in the Government party use each other as lightning rods trading blame back and forth and since both are die hard socialist fascist oriented government over citizens and since both have proven time and again they will use each other as foils to stay in power and really don't care who is in charge - the both profit immensely ....does it really matter? No it does not.
The Demos can look forward to a four or eight year break and concentrate on the Congressional level then come back as the saviors over what damage the Dumbos cause next.
They can escape having Hillary in their legacy and probably dump Wasserman at the same time. What sports calls a building year.
They can let the Dumbos get stuck with picking up the pieces of an economic disaster.
Fpr them all plus no minus.
The Dumbos can even more easily dump Trump just on the applied for party rules violations unless they want to use him as an experiment that failed and if it doesn't that's good too. They have no skin in the game anymore except protecting the notion of a party.
The ease of each party dumping a candidate is like slipping on soap on an icy floor. They are 100% in charge and only need control a. The rules committee and b. the overall governing committee and c. have a plausible reason. Both have those by the bushel basket full.
So why get in a hurry it's far far far from over especially with a full blown revolution occurring and something they can side step until they see how to take advantage. How would you like to explain Hillary on top of Obama to a pissed off country? Or clueless plan less Trump?
That leaves Johnson and more important than Johnson is getting the Libertarian party as the only one's possible to move into the 15% plus ranks and into the debates and into position as a potential new SECOND party. Then change the debate rules to control 10 minutes bluster to ten seconds of comment. Heavy use of gavel and fining lost of time rules work well. Libertarians can now easily get a high enough percentage IF they pass that 15% hurdle to make not only sure but make damn sure there is no majority vote in the fall.
How? 46% of the voting pool has already said None of the Above. Your only dividing up 54% at best. If they don't screw it up which is also problematical.
Whose to stop them? Certainly not two Socialist party agents I see posting. They aren't good enough. Same old boring leftist drivel same old boring methodology no substance, no energy, a lot to do about and with nothing.
So why worry which one today? Spend time giving the Libs a bit of a boost they are nothing if not a good weapon against the Socialists.
Which brings us down to the None Of The Above vote. It's grown bit by bit and now is 46% of the available voter pool and 50 plus percent in non Prez years. Any growth there is a good thing.
Socialism is socialism is socialism and being given a choice of National and International really makes no difference.
Now back to the mystery candidate I refer to the next outsider acceptable to a majority. the military and former military vote is huge. Since the current candidates have done far more to present themselves in a bad light than one name off the top of my head and nothing positive .....
Petreaus The former general officer.
the best thing Libs could do is tap him as VP
the best thing the two socialist party halves could do is tap him in convention to replace Hillary and Trump.
Not enough care about the whoopsies given the record of Hillary and Trump especially Hillary.
The old saying is the dude or dudette on the White Horse that can be easily spotted on the battle field saves the day
Give him a decent VP candidate that IS Presidential Material without a lot of baggage and is not a starting block loser you might hear a big sigh of relief.
Number one choice is a real economics brain.
One they need a breathing space to distance themselves from the Obama wreckage can we make that into wreckacy instead of legacy.
One can make a perfect case for the Socialist Republicans to dump Trump.
If gun owners as a group were batshit, there would be far more shootings with bizarre or unfathomable motives. Most actual shootings occur in connection with CRIME. And a huge portion of those are illegally possessed/carried.
Go after the criminals, not the lawful and responsible gun owners.
Simple questions such as why do the Republicans always cave immediately answered - because they are not right of center using the Constitution they only to the right of the center of the left.
There are no longer confusing, overly complex issues such as why are the Nazis listed as right wing instead of extremist left wing. Why is Hillary listed as Democrat centrist when she is also a left wing extremist. Why is the word Rino so important? Defines the Repubicans for what they are not what their maskirova.
Mosrt importantly what IS the true source of power in the USA. No longer the divine right of kings what took their place. The Comrades would have you believe they did on behalf of 'the people.' Not true - the true source of power if you use devine ad a verb such as in water witching (humor intended) are the citizens themselves. Direct and without representation.) At least for those who understand citizens rights always carry citizen responsibilities.
Nothing more simple and easy to understand than that. Only citizens can give up their rights.and refuse their responsibilities or use them and live up to them. Starting at the lowest levels of involvement.
First democratically selecting local officials directly and representative delegates indirectly to the Republic. Secondly keeping or rejecting those that cross to the dark side of thinking the center of the left is the center of politics.
Life is sweet when it is thoroughly understood and the lessons applied.
In the military as a career profession we voluntarily chose to forgo direct constitutional protections and live under the Uniform Code of Military Justice which includes the oath to protect and defend the Constitution against all enemies foreign and 'domestic.' That lifelong oath gave me comfort and focused me always on the Constitution as the center of my rights and responsibilities.
Others have to find their own way.
When you consider electoral politics, even at the township level, you are probably the only person you will agree with 100%. Then you have to look at the hierarchy of virtues as other people appear to express them in actions and words.
For many years, I supported Democrat Debbie Stabenow, currently a US senator. I knew her when she first ran for county commissioner. I never agreed with many of her proposals, but I always found her to be a good representative who did the job. I accepted that by her own standards, she represents the State of Michigan in the US Senate. On the other hand, her counterpart, Carl Levin, represented Washington DC in the State of Michigan.
You can look for ideological purity, like Diogenes with a lantern looking for an honest man. Myself, I see it like being a doctor: you treat the patient in front of you.
But, you know, all of the above would just open the Preface to The Big Book of Politics for Objectivists.
When you question someone's authority and they don't have a good argument why they should be in charge, the cliche lame response is "what are you, an anarchist!?" The false choice of either their system or nothing being in charge is so transparent, it's what flat villains say when the author wants to hit you over the head with the idea that this is the bad guy and we're not supposed to like them. It's odd to hear about people using it w/o irony. It's like they're a parody of themselves.
Right is citizens over government starting the center which is the Constitution and citizens are the source of all power at present.
Next and further to the right would be some form of loner who fully believe in laissez nous faire.
Way out there are those who promote a way out belief using violence.They have not plan to replace government just get rid of it.
If however the accusers are using the left wing fictionary version which holds the center to be the center of the left and the rest of the BS...it doesn't matter what they say or accuse precisely because they not accurate in definitions and can just be disregarded - an pitied. for five or six seconds. Anymore would be a huge waste of time and resource.
Jefferson said it well: "In matters of style, swim with the current; in matters of principle, stand like a rock".
