Novanglus, WRT nationalized print media -
it’s just one pebble in the avalanche of bullshit from this administration.

We might be a few months behind actual events. Maybe all the important things we’re fretting about may have already taken place, and the decisions already made.

Imagine if we were watching “live” video feed from a human colony on a planet orbiting Alpha Centauri. All the action we see took place and was sent rippling through the space-time fabric four years ago. We’re seeing it now, and for us the events haven’t unfolded.

In fact, though, all the crises have already played out and resolved for better or for worse.

And nothing we do here and now can affect them.

Dark Vision.

There are currents flowing in the affairs of our world propelled by the inertia of two millennia of Christians trying to fulfill their understanding of God’s charge, opposed for the last 1400 years by Mohammed’s edict to the faithful to subjugate Dar-al-Harb and impose Shari’a upon the infidel, along with hundreds of thousands of Idi Amins and Robert Mugabes who want to lord it over their own people by murdering anyone who stands in their way, and along with the other hundreds of millions of people that probably would just like to be left alone but they’ve been stampeded by Communists, Nazis, Fascists, Peronistas, Mobsters, Sendero Luminoso, Khmer Rouge, Ton Ton Macoute, and Rush Limbaugh in a tutu.

Maybe that’s why trying to get a Liberal to re-examine even a single item in the Encyclopedia of Approved Dogma is like trying to sweet-talk Halley’s Comet out of its orbit.

Cosmic Inertia.

No need to be discouraged. We just have to live our lives joyfully, and make them wonder how we manage to extract so much happiness out of a life that doesn’t bow down to *their* dictates.
