Kafka, Orwell and the Patriot Act
When certain men and/or women wearing modestly priced suits and shiny shoes quote the Patriot Act to you and ask you questions you might be tempted to not answer. But take my advice, if you value your time, you'll answer, because as they will explain to you that under the Patriot Act most of your rights as a private citizen are diminished or no longer there.. Under such interrogation, what is happening to you may seem strangely familiar, because if you have read any Orwell or Kafka or Lee Child the proceedings come out of the nightmare that exists when rationality no longer is a part of interrogation but interpretation and you are subjected to what the authors only imagined and you are living through. And, you may well ask yourself, "Hold on, whatever happened to America? How could an American congress pass a law so anti- Constitutional and actually put it into practice?" Has fear caused us to give up our freedom? Are we no longer the home of the Brave, but the land of the Fraidy-Cats? So now, when I see up on the screen the portrayal of true American heroes, should I question their realyty, or should I espouse my credibility to comic book super heroes?. It ooks as if superheroes, those larger than life characters in spandex and capes are the delusional answers, hens Donald Trump the closest thing to a superhero is President sans the spandex.
Mamn, I love The Gulch. Anywhere else and I'd likely be laughed off onto Facebook. Just think, for about 50 of my 83 years I believed all the things I learned about the founders, and the history and I was with Reagan 100% and his shining city on the hill, but it's shut down by a bunch of "Patriots."

There could have been some satanists or at least some silly Wiccan witches behind the scenes.
Only The Shadow knows any performing dark arts from artsy-fartsy for sure.
If a satanic ritual is performed for the entertainment industry that bastion of morality
It can't be for the greater good can it.
Not liking the music, must confess I briefly skipped along through that until I hit a rapper. Well, that finished that.
Rap always turning me dino off, me dino always turns off rap.
In my previous post, I meant to write same-sex sheep, goats and other critters. My bad.
Witches' Sabbath is a meeting of those who practice witchcraft and other rites. Distinguishable features that are typically contained within a Witches' Sabbat are assembly by foot, beast, or flight, a banquet, dancing and cavorting, and sexual intercourse.[1][2]
Second thought: Well, among any legally/illegally married same sex triples, quadruples, whatever.
Third thought: I think mixing in sheep, goat, and any other critters may be a separate conversation.
Well, maybe. What do I know?
I can tell you for certain that can happen. When I was visiting some relatives, one of the daughters was about 8 and was constantly being a spoiled brat. I had enough, took her to her room, and yelled at her to lie down and shut up. Twenty years later she "remembered" it as a "sexual assault". At first I couldn't even recall the incident because it was so trivial, but eventually I did and reminded her parents of the exact situation and they agreed with my recollection completely. We live in an idiotic statist society where such a fraudulent story can ruin innocent people without any evidence whatsoever.
If the man's not too famous, you can probably get away with saying you're "shocked and appalled" at such behavior, and then they won't look at you.
I can't stand the notion of making someone feel uncomfortable or pushing someone around in anyway. I think people should avoid saying offensive things, and calling that basic decency "PC" is a lame strawman. But this sexual misconduct thing has a witch trial mentality.
Frankly, it does not make me feel protective toward my daughter. If she grows up and has the opportunity of a lifetime but she has to put up with someone being a creep, the opportunity is not worth it. There is always another opportunity, even if it doesn't feel like it. That goes for sexual harassment and for mundane things like real estate deals. There's always another building, house, or whatever. I will tell both my kids if they ever start thinking "this is my only chance, OMG!!" to walk away and calm down. You will make bad decisions. Putting up with creepy behavior is just one possible bad decision among many. I really hope she wouldn't be like some of these women, sucking her thumb and rocking in terror at the creepiness and unfairness of it all.
I feel weird saying this aloud. If I were famous, some ex-g/f would come out of the woodwork with some stupid thing I legitimately did that got repeated in a feedback loop in her mind for 20 years. If anyone tries to say that being a creep to job candidate wrong but not the worst crime, the lynch mob goes straight for the continuum fallacy and says that means you're okay with groping, raping and intentionally infecting people with HIV. https://www.galtsgulchonline.com/post...
I think we've gone way overboard on sexual harassment.
There's little dispute about whatMinn Rep. Cornish texted to minn rep maya Quade, who shared them with MPR News. The texts from Cornish read:
• "I just got an anonymous text saying I got busted for staring at you on the house floor,,,.Haha"
• "I told him it was your fault, of course. Look too damn good. Ha."
• "I must be more gentlemanly when I run for Governor."
Maye Quade responded, "You can always start now!"
In response to questions Thursday about those texts, Cornish said he was surprised by Maye Quade's complaint.
"Over the last year, I have maintained a friendly and professional relationship with Rep. Maye Quade," he said in a written statement. "As with many members, we have exchanged texts, emails and phone calls. It came to my attention today that I offended Rep. Maye Quade in one of the text messages. This was a poor attempt at humor with a colleague and I sincerely apologize."
I wonder how many men would be convicted of sexual misconduct based upon the way they acted in high school.most teen boys are walking erections at that age. That's why dad's are so protective of daughters, because they were once one of those boys.
My take was that this is one heck of a very strong woman.
Heard Rush say that the RINO Establishmen intends to shoo-fly the judge even if he wins.
Well, even if me dino breaks his leg an hour before going to the polls, I'll drag myself all the way to vote for Moore if I have to.
Damn the RINO Establishment and all else that's corrupt as hell about this country!
Should a "Mr. Smith Goes To Washington" to big time fix things in that particular swamp this day and age, some (possibly paid by George Soros) skank may very well claim she was raped or molested.
Then should Mr. Smith not go away, another skank shall appear. Then another and another and another and another into a freaking swamp swarm of horrific harpies.
That worked on Herman Cain. Before his first harpy appeared, my impression of his wife was that she was sweet but seemed quite fragile for a potential first lady. My theory is that she had everything to do with Cain backing down as a perceived threat by Team Obamanation.
Why am I'm thinking about what did not work to get rid of Trump? Oh, well . . .
