Maggie's FarmWe are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for. |

It is a regular feature. Watch his show. He has at least one person from a college campus every day...either student, faculty or administration. He does the same with many others. It's a fantastic show!
Excuse me but Mr Carlson may think he knows what Fascism is, but I have to wonder as Mr. Carlson says:
(Trump) didn’t even have the moral turpitude to…… I think that having the moral turpitude to stand up against the masses is what a citizen and a patriot actually does…. Hummm Moral Turpitude..... tur·pi·tude ˈtərpiˌt(y)o͞od/ noun: turpitude depravity; wickedness. "acts of moral turpitude" I noticed that also. If he claims that he knows what Fascism is, but uses the word "turpitude" incorrectly, he doesn't help his case.
The concept of a crime involving moral turpitude is well-known and somewhat openly defined in immigration law. It includes “conduct that shocks the public conscience as being inherently base, vile, or depraved, contrary to the rules of morality and the duties owed between man and man, either one's fellow man or society in general” with either an “evil intent” recklessly.
so he misused a word. he should have said "balls." 1st in SEO and this clown is a very, very small 1 or 2 person shop who is trying to gin up business.
The guy is BS. Tucker didn't say "moral turpitude"! The crazy and arrogant CEO did! Didn't any of you listen to this? Tucker was remiss in not catching and correcting this at the time, but he was not the one to humorously misuse the term "moral turpitude"! The word should have been moral "integrity" or "fortitude" or something like that. "Turpitude" was exactly the opposite of what the preening jerk was trying to say, and he said it TWICE!
Right! Tucker did not say "moral turpitude".
Besides missing the opportunity to school Blanchfield on the correct use of the word "turpitude", he also missed the opportunity to ask if he would allow Muslim clients; what he thought about the death threats of Electoral College electors or exhortations to rape Milania; ask him if he will be asking all his perspective clients who they supported for President; and school him on Hitler's rise to power using SA Brown Shirts and burning the burning the Reichstag (educating him on the similarities between several of Hillary's positions and Hitler's - especially economic policy positions would probably be difficult and take too long). Having said all that, I think Tucker has been doing an excellent job of taking idiots like Blanchfield apart. The Alt-left is practicing Alinsky's rules for radicals. They get a few activists to trump up claims/charges against Trump. The useful idiots in the MSM repeat the charges as though they were true. Then the "good" liberals rally and demonstrate against Trump because he is a racist, sexist, fascist bigot don'tcha know. It is a win win. They can all virtue signal back and forth and try to destroy those on their enemies list at the same time.
I did especially like the point Tucker made that what this good liberal is doing is the legal equivalent of what the Christian cake baker did. maybe this needs to go to the Supremes. Can you refuse to bake the cake or sell to those who you disagree with or not??? Can you cancel your concert in North Carolina just because they don't want to allow men in the woman's restroom? I am really getting very tired of the mantra ,but Hilliary won the popular vote, from these lefty miscreants. If you delete California from the national vote, Trump wins by several million. Can you imagine the day that we vote according to the populous and one State gets to decide for the entire country. Thank God for the Electoral College. I give Tucker Carlson Kuddos for being able to converse with some of these Alinsky elites.
I hope that the Alt-left keeps up the bitch-fest.
I believe that it will drive normal main-stream people to the conservative/New Republican side of the fence. I never understood any business leader who gets themselves entangled in politics. The Kelloggs debacle for instance, is idiotic.
Why alienate half your potential customers by insulting them? What an ass. They are located here in Albuquerque NM. The crazy owner is Matt Blanchfield. Here's a link to his failing business........ https://www.1stinseo.com/ :note the whiney note near their phone number.
That guy musta been edjumicated in gubmint skools. "Moral turpitude". Indeed. I think he meant "moral fortitude". We all have brain freezes like that, where under stress of rapid-fire high-content communicating, our brain neurons fail the pattern match and deliver up the incorrect word. It's a harmless error, it's perhaps unfair that we judge him so, but yeah, if you're going to engage in public speaking, it's best to be skillful at it lest your malaprops wreck your message.
A more serious failing is that he throws around the fascism word, without really knowing what he's talking about. Gubmint skool edjumication. The NSDAP formed the Brown Shirts in 1920. A bunch of street toughs, who fought anybody and beat up all NSDAP opponents, although it was primarily left-on-left action between the commies and the NSDAP. We've had two recent examples: the orange-shirted ACORN guys, until O'Keefe exposed them out of existence; and this summer's Soros/DNC/Clinton-campaign-funded and Bob Creamer-organized violence instigation against Trump supporters in the streets of our fair cities. And once again O'Keefe got the goods on them, doing hard-hitting investigative journalism the Pravda mainstream media folks refuse to do. They even have a new/old name for themselves "Antifa" ("anti-Fascists", another age-old totalitarian ploy, always title yourself publicly to be the opposite of what you really are). Fascism, everywhere practiced, does not tolerate dissenting or alternative opinions and conclusions. Think different, and the fascists come to beat the crap out of you. They use every totalitarian trick there is to shut you up, demoralize you, humiliate you, and make you think you stand alone against all of us, and we will we will beat you [down]. There is only one group of people in the USA that act like that, and it ain't the Trumpistas, and it ain't the Repubbies. So yeah dude, you just keep *** that fascist chicken. Jeez, it gets so they all keep repeating the unexamined falsehoods to each other until they no longer even know or care what is correct or false. It must give them great comfort, to know they are members of the true faith in a nation of infidels. If after Jan20, you see the Antifa guys start getting bussed in and showing up in same-colored shirts and causing a ruckus, well, there you go. I reckon when the immigration reforms happen the shitstorms will commence. If the fence-hoppers no longer get their sweet sweet free gubmint bennies paid for by John Q. Gringo taxpayers, and start getting tossed back over the fence, it's going down. |
