Democratic Debate #1 Stream of Conciousness

The rules will be the same as last time. I'll see things, I'll say things. This time, I'll occasionally throw in time stamps, in the hopes that this will be readable this time. Also, unless this gets too long, I believe I'll just do the whole thing in one post.

The Pregame

CNN in Espanol? I hope they don't pander in Spanish as well... well, at least then I won't have to understand it!
8;05 PM: Anderson Cooper admits Democrats are boorish.
8:08 PM; "They've all come prepared." Good, then this will hopefully be better than the Republicans...
8:10 PM: A half-hour pregame? Politics really are just football for nerds.
8:13 PM: "We are just minutes away" 16 minutes is not equal to "minutes away."
8:16 PM: "The candidates are going to try to move to the left." If Bernie Sanders were any more to the left, he'd be in Nascar...
8:23 PM: "Only a few minutes away" 7 minutes is not "a few"

Or Get off the Pot

I blame the ongoing feminization of America for political candidates not being able to commit to say running for office or not. Shit or get off the pot! You think you look like Cincinnatus, but really you just look like every other dithering politician who can't pick his nose without consulting his media team. If you want to be a leader, show leadership and just take what you want.

Meat Culture

So a recent survey of British vegetarians conducted by Voucher Codes Pro showed that 37% ate meat when drunk. Given what lefties (which vegetarians often are) think alcohol does to consent, I wonder how many of those surveyed would claim the meat raped them?

Overseer of Decline

Some aspects of the 21st Century are so insane, so horribly disordered, that it is difficult to get out the words to comment on them. Like, for instance, this story, from Oliver Lane of Breitbart:

"The Bishop of Stockholm has proposed a church in her diocese remove all signs of the cross and put down markings showing the direction to Mecca for the benefit of Muslim worshippers.
Eva Brunne, who was made the world’s first openly lesbian bishop by the church of Sweden in 2009, and has a young son with her wife and fellow lesbian priest Gunilla Linden, made the suggestion to make those of other faiths more welcome."

A million retorts clog my throat, vying desperately with each other to get out. One piously points out,

"For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God."(1 Corinthians 1:18)

One less reverent wonders if this so-called "Church of Sweden" is a Christian Church at all, or merely a means for smug Scandinavian liberals to sanctify their socialism? A third voice genuinely wonders how many of the Biblical requirements for the office of bishop this woman meets? I mean, she by sex fails the easy one. And a whole cacophony behind these merely wail and curse in rage at what has become of a once great civilization.

No One Knows

"But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father." (Matthew 24:36)

"no one knows..."

"NO ONE KNOWS!!!"

And yet, to this day, men insist on disgracing their Lord by stating that they know the thing that He very clearly states that they don't.

To quote Mark Molloy's somewhat tongue-in-cheek article of October 6, 2015 in the Telegraph:

"Chris McCann, leader of the eBible fellowship and all-round God expert, believes the world will be engulfed and destroyed by a great fire on October 7.
The founder of the fellowship has been delivering his Doomsday warnings in his five-part podcast series, Why October 7, 2015, is the likely end of the world.
“According to what the Bible is presenting, it does appear that October 7 will be the day that God has spoken of,” he explains.

I don't recall that part of the Bible. Remind me of how Bronze Age Hebrews used the Gregorian calendar.

A Simple Decision

We can either have immigration, or we can have civilization. Choose one. European Civilization was made by Europeans. Middle Eastern civilization was made by Middle Easterners. The people you let into your country are the society that you will, in time, live in. Where do you want to live?

He Kept us Out of War

President Barack Obama, for his many flaws, has actually not been all bad. And as much as he will eventually have to answer for, his unwillingness to commit to a ground war has, without a doubt, saved innumerable American lives. The sad fact is, no matter how bad the past eight years have been, they could have been worse.

Now President Obama certainly suffers from no fewer delusions than the rest of his set:

"Iran and Assad make up Mr. Putin’s coalition at the moment. The rest of the world makes up ours"

Nonetheless, delusions like these, almost universally held by the chattering classes, become somewhat more forgivable in the face of this admission:

A Stacked Deck

I hardly thought it possible, but Paul Goldman and Mark J Rozell at Politico have uncovered yet another way in which the 14th Amendment is destroying America. History repeating again as farce, that worst of all Amendments has reenacted the Three Fifths Compromise in reverse: allowing illegal immigrants to count in apportioning seats in the House and Electoral College. These states, being leftist, will allow in more illegals and gain even more illicit power allowing them to finalize their election of a new American people.

It should be clear by now that the game is rigged. You cannot win a game against someone willing to cheat at every turn. With each move, they gain in the margins, until their advantage is overwhelming. What do you do when you can no longer win the game? The answer, of course, is to stop playing.

Society is a game, a series of ritualized interactions. But games and rituals can changed, their seeming permanence only lasting as long as their rules work for the players. Just how long do you think Americans will play a losing hand?

New Format

You might notice the new aesthetic here at Pravda Zvíťazí. As much as I loved the pink-orange hummingbirds, I figured it might just be time for a change. Rest assured, I will continue to deliver pink-orange commentary on the same irregular basis as always!

America Universalis IV

Unfortunately, it is, for some unknown reason, utterly impossible to embed Fox News video onto Blogger. As such, you're just going to have to click over to view this video the old fashioned way.
Luckily that means when you vomit, it won't be all over my blog.

If you didn't click over, I'll sum it up. Senator Marco Rubio, one of the many GOP candidates for president is unhappy about Russia's intervention in Syria. It seems that Senator Rubio would rather that it were American lives being wasted in the great Middle Eastern quagmire, And why is Senator Rubio so incensed about Russia's intervention in a war thousands of miles away from America's borders?

"It diminishes America's importance!"

Quick Quiz!

According to the Vice-Chancellor of Germany, what shapes German culture?

Is it this?

How about this?

America, Enemy of the Faith

When I was a child, I used to love the Left Behind books. They painted a picture of a world in which the Christian Faith, so dominant in my upbringing, had been divested of its prominence, stigmatized, and eventually openly persecuted. The days of the early Church, of martyrs and prophets, were re-imagined in the modern world, as God made His last desperate attempts to offer salvation to a people whose hearts grew cold.

Independence for Catalonia, Independence for All

The Catalan people will soon face a unique opportunity: the chance to take tangible steps towards joining the community of independent nations. Most nations to gain this privilege have only done so by force of arms and the blood of their countrymen. Determination and faith will be required of them nonetheless.

Not surprisingly, the leaders of the West's unsustainable multinational empires are against this move:

"US President Barack Obama and British premier David Cameron, among others, have called for Spain to stay united."

I would assume if Blessed Kaiser Karl of Austria could be reached from beyond the grave, he also would oppose this measure, along with a majority of the final Emperors of Rome.

This alone should be enough to give the Catalans direction. If those who have turned their States into an endless misery of racial violence and hatred, of political and religious persecution, desire that you do one thing, it would be most wise to do the other. The Leader of the Slave World is not at all to be trusted.

Getting Away With Murder

Bruce Jenner will be, quite literally, getting away with murder. However, when you consider the price he paid to do so, I wonder if prison might not have been a better alternative. If you are famous and, more importantly, if you are useful, you are above the law in the West. If, on the other hand, you are not... Well, I'm sure Indiana will be much safer without the high treason of a broken taillight breaching domestic tranquility.

Of course, how you do depends on how much murder you commit. Realistically, Bruce Jenner only committed one negligent homicide. This merely entitles him to be feted throughout the media, and his peculiar sexual fetish declared to be bedrock truth. If, however, you are responsible for 7085 murders, you might just be anointed President of the United States.

Debate #2: Winners and Losers

As promised, and as done with the first debate, below are the ranked performances of the GOP contenders in the second main stage debate. I promise you, you likely won't believe who came out on top...

GOP Main Stage Debate #2 Stream of Consciousness Final Block

BLAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!

Women on Money
The Virgin Mary. Queen Isabel of Spain.
Best pick to Jeb: Thatcher is a decent pick.
This "nation" is shit because every woman has the right to live the life she chooses, erase the lives she doesn't, and manipulate the lives she wants.
Codenames
Son Goku
Jeb just wants Trump's approval. Hopefully when Trump gets the nomination, he'll let Bush hang out with him.

GOP Main Stage Debate #2 Stream of Consciousness Block #4

Getting bored now, but I'll hold strong!

WEED!!!
More "rule of law" bullshit. The other side won't hold to it, why should we?
The ends don't matter, so long as the means are ok.
Weed isn't just like smoking a beer, you don't get alcohol poisoning from weed.
Also, what Fiorina doesn't mention, is that her child died with drug laws in place!
Guns
And Jeb stands up for something. I'm shocked, but maybe there is a thin veneer to his conservative claim after all.
And Cruz learned to keep talking.
"Climate Change"
Phew! None of them are giving in! Whoohoo!

GOP Main Stage Debate #2 Stream of Consciousness Block #3

If you haven't figured it out by now from the two consecutive posts of babble, I'm publishing my stream of consciousness responses to the main stage GOP debate as it happens. More traditional posts will follow, but I wanted to respond to this one as it happens.

Random Middle Eastern Brigands
A good Trivial Pursuit score is not a strong country. Point Trump.
They don't recruit "Americans" Rubio, they recruit Muslims. Know the difference. (Hint, it starts at Tours.)
Spending is not equal to strength. America really does worship money.
Bush on Bush
Dude can't even lead this debate, how will he lead the world?
Trump knows the word "dais." Not so much the word "militaristic."
Low blow Trump.
I don't think Bush kept all those guys he sent to the sandbox safe.
"Haha, Walker agrees with me! Eat that Trump!" "And that matters, Jeb?"

GOP Main Stage Debate #2 Stream of Consciousness Block #2

And we're back for block #2!

Immigration
"We don't have a country" Excellent point.
The Germans could deport that many people, Christie... They could do it 70 years ago. They didn't need any fancy technology.
Dr. Carson decided it's story-time..
...Reasonable though. Do something that works.
Man, Trump sure insulted Jeb's wife by calling her a Mexican. Who in the world would want to be called that?
"We have been talking about it for 25 years" And doing what Carly?
Defending our country isn't worth hundreds of millions of dollars. - Jeb Bush
Why shouldn't the kid show you respect, Mr. Bush and ask the question in English? Oh wait, he'd have to respect you...

GOP Main Stage Debate #2 Stream of Consciousness Block #1

Walkout, Trump looks tired, Cruz personable.
Introductions
Paul seems angry in his intro. Chill bro, chill.
Huckabee, nice intro. Disarms opponents. Don't know why he doesn't poll higher.
Rubio pulling the Reagan worshippers early. Good call.
"Think of the children!" - Dr. Carson.
Conservative doesn't mean what you think it does, Mr. Bush.
Sorry Mr. Walker, Rubio beat you to the punch on Reagan. It has no power now.
Kasich, you're only the third one on this wagon. Is this the canonization of Ronald Reagan? Is Pope Francis int he audience?
Nice and punchy, well done Mr. Christie.
