Good point Robert. He was considered so brilliant during the '60's, especially in the Speech/Communication Arts and Sciences field at my grad school. Generally this was when he stayed close to his linguistic and semantic theories. However, when he preached "libertarian socialism," my warning flags went up. I used to run into this "idea" at the anarchist conferences we had in the '60's in NY City. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libertarian_socialism Despicable man. Nice to see you. Trump did very well in your beautiful state. A...

I find it somewhat disquieting that those few of us here on OL who supported the Trump candidacy from early on are still attempting to "convince" folks that Donald Trump is a remarkable individual person standing above an impersonal, tribal culture. However, here is just another testimonial about what this man is about. You shall not crucify Donald on a gold dollar sign... A...

This thread is a gold mine of information. For example, a few posts up thread, on December 8th, Michael noted the following: "Trump is making the mainstream nuts. They are totally off their game right now." December 7th, the Huffington Post reversed their ban on covering Trump that they had installed back in July. Today, Rush's first hour was another brilliant analysis of how great a threat Trump is to the entire industry built around the corruption in Washington and the entire industry that is built around electing the corrupt politicians to work the Juggernaut for the "establishment," which includes the media. A...

Perfect example of how unconnected and effete the Power Elite is from actual folks who can actually reason and actually come to logical conclusions that will not be deflected by the trickle down "whoring of the media."

Welcome to OL Brenden: I am usually the nosy one who asks are you a student, worker, or, business person. I have been falling down on my welcome wagon duties which I like because I love OL and it is the only place on the internet that I call home. Thanks for your service. It is interesting that Ayn had no "police officers," or, military members as characters in Atlas, or, The Fountainhead. I never noticed that before you began sanctioning being a "victim" by being tentative about how OL would feel about you as a soldier and government employee. I have no problem at all with it and half my family was in police and fire and the other have doctors/medical/research fields. As Michael just said, you will have no problems here on OL. Welcome. A...

Tony: You may not have seen this angle. However, as a photographer who has covered actual news and took pictures of Mandela, what do you see of this angle? If I was the Secret Service Agent, I would have shot this prick the minute he got past the first ring of agents. Apparently, from his own mouth he stated that he has been planning this for over six (6) months. He should be in a Federal jail awaiting trial, or, in a box. A...

Fascinating response. OK, I am done arguing with you. However, I do enjoy your music. A...

So, if a candidate you supported for President told you to do something, you would, of course do it? You are absolved of any individual control over acting? Interesting theory on rational thinking. A...

Kasich has been out there saying Trump's words cause violence, so it's all on Trump. Kasich can go fuck himself. He deserves zero consideration. http://www.newsmax.com/Headline/ann-coulter-fox-traitors/2016/03/13/id/718860/?ns_mail_uid=6735229&ns_mail_job=1659549_03132016&s=al&dkt_nbr=k8cagri2

I have pointed that out to many folks. In fact, I commented earlier on this thread about a "security issue" at the Trump rally, one of the first. And I noticed his automatic reaction to the "disturbance" in the aisle off his right shoulder and he moved towards the disturbance and appeared to me to be balanced and prepared to repel or respond. I remember Peter taking the "PC" route and saying that was not wise. Frankly, I do not agree. Sometimes you need to "cut down the angles of attack by moving into and closer to the attack." Non life threatening example is a goalie moving out towards a breakaway to "cut down the angle." In The Hunt For Red October, Connery goes head on into the torpedo if I remember correctly. In Vietnam, the North Vietnamese Generals talked about "grabbing the belt" which meant getting in close and inside our "technical battle space" that we controlled with air and artillery. A...
