The Closing of the Liberal Mind: How Groupthink and Intolerance Define the Left

Posted by eeos @ 23:57 on November 10, 2016  

former U.S. Assistant Secretary of State and currently a Distinguished Fellow at the Heritage Foundation, Kim R. Holmes surveys the state of liberalism in America today and finds that it is becoming its opposite—illiberalism—abandoning the precepts of open-mindedness and respect for individual rights, liberties, and the rule of law upon which the country was founded, and becoming instead an intolerant, rigidly dogmatic ideology that abhors dissent and stifles free speech. Tracing the new illiberalism historically to the radical Enlightenment, a movement that rejected the classic liberal ideas of the moderate Enlightenment that were prominent in the American Founding, Holmes argues that today’s liberalism has forsaken its American roots, incorporating instead the authoritarian, anti-clerical, and anti-capitalist prejudices of the radical and largely European Left. The result is a closing of the American liberal mind. Where once freedom of speech and expression were sacrosanct, today liberalism employs speech codes, trigger warnings, boycotts, and shaming rituals to stifle freedom of thought, expression, and action. It is no longer appropriate to call it liberalism at all, but illiberalism—a set of ideas in politics, government, and popular culture that increasingly reflects authoritarian and even anti-democratic values, and which is devising new strategies of exclusiveness to eliminate certain ideas and people from the political process. Although illiberalism has always been a temptation for American liberals, lurking in the radical fringes of the Left, it is today the dominant ideology of progressive liberal circles. This makes it a new danger not only to the once venerable tradition of liberalism, but to the American nation itself, which needs a viable liberal tradition that pursues social and economic equality while respecting individual liberties.

I agree as see on comments people not happy. I wonder if he’s going to refuse service to all the Trump voters too. What’s he gone do when they order grub lol Say are you a Trump supporter ? What a pompous idiot.

Imagine if someone did that when O was elected. It would be on the media and there would be a Gang of thugs vandalizing his place. The fact is Repubs don’t riot so they think they can get away with saying  what ever they want like they own you.  If they did they’d would be looking for their safe space. Besides that people can’t ask you who you voted for and why it’s private when voting  so theres legal issues here.

Heard on the news that with Trump PMs Oil Bonds will do good but the guy who said it said he thought Trump was dangerous. But Hillary was safe?? Maybe he’s a PM hater don’t remember his name. He’s talking inflation. What inflation? If it comes it will come from the prior deflation. Complaining about the debt. Was he complaing about it when Obana caused more than all the previous combined I heard. Now all of a sudden the they’re worried about it? We’re they afraid of being accused of being called racist if they did? Cowards

Note Keystone may go through but will have to  be careful with environmental issues.

Looks like lawsuit time for those idiots. I can’t believe that what they’re doing is legal.

At the very least grubhub should get boycotted into nonexistence.

Don’t know if this was true or not but if it is he’s gonna have a big law suit coming and maybe legal consequences.

Posted by goldielocks @ 18:20 on November 10, 2016  

It’s gonna take time for new found bullies and double standard laws of Obummer era to realize they aren’t gonna get away with it anymore.

Corporation asks Trump voters to resign. The stupidity never ends. Image  if they did that with  Obama voters. Besides if all his Trump voters the place would probably go into a cluster f lol

I know someone who’s been to the one before the airport. Pretty sure it was that one. I’ll ask her when I see her again. She said there was nothing there though or what she saw. If she saw more I wouldn’t be able to even mention it lol

yeah I was shocked to see how much Colorado changed and that was back in 2000 but you have lib airhead gov workers allowing it too hapoen. Back then I decided to go down town where they had different clubs open at night just thiught Id walk around. Took a taxi had him drop me off there.Two illegal mexicans saw me on the outside walking around .. Like rows of streets with night lights and music coming from different places that had if I remember wooden walk ways. I knew they were looking for trouble so ditched them walked inside a country Western place. Went back out a little later to see those same two chasing a young white guy and almost caught him but I walked out in front of him. ” witness ” He made a big deal out of that asked if there was anything I wanted as in drinks. By then his friends came out, and were gonna look for them.  I said no just a taxi. Decided no more walking around there alone lol

Portugeezer @ 15:55 on November 10, 2016 …..I agree 100%

Posted by Ororeef @ 17:04 on November 10, 2016  

Its just that we are dealing with Politicians and Trump needs to play Hardball with something to deal with .

He’s too honest and he’s dealing with snakes .I hope he can give them what they got coming even if he has to learn their ways .

When in Rome do as the Romans do..Promise what you need to ,then reneigh if you have to  when dealing with them…I find it a repugnant way to do business ,but they dont.    They do it to you ,so they have NO right to complain when you do it to them..

I never did business like that  ,but thats what he’s dealing with..  Wish him Luck ! Thats why I would hold Pardons over their head while always promising MAYBE  !  The Sword of Damocles always held over their heads held by the slenderest of threads . let them negotiate under stress ,not him , NEVER  Committing to anything !

Trump always said always be prepared to WALK AWAY  from negotiations if they are intransigent ( like the Iranian deal) ,I hope he sticks to that  !  He knows what he’s doing ,I hope he sticks to what worked for him in the Past.

A strong dollar helps dumb consumer americans

Posted by eeos @ 16:37 on November 10, 2016  

Now we can buy up all kinds of shite we don’t need. I mean hell, a strong dollar can’t do much to the US economy…we don’t make anything! We have twice as many people working for the grubberment as we do in the manufacturing base. Holy smokes!

No Silverngold there’s not crapola below the airport. A weird ass shrine to new world order it is. I’d guess that Denver is a national intelligence base, EPA and FBI stronghold, satellite and space community, and a huge federal government outpost too. I wouldn’t doubt that a second capitol city backup plan emerged from Denver, if DC was nuked or EMP’d. The airport is most likely capable of landing every plane in the US skies in a total blackout event (if the control tower backup generators actually start). There’s also enough solar panels on site to keep a skeletal power situation in place during daylight hours assuming the west isn’t EMP attacked.

Colorado is a blue state. It’s one of the highest degree holding states in the union. Lot’s of conservatives in the outlying regions, but you have a ton of socialist living in the cities. All my friends are hook line and sinker democrats. US colleges have truly poisoned minds of the people in my generation and younger. Dumb fools.  I’m sure many would never speak to me again just for casting a Trump vote. So I did it. Eff off establishment and war crime families.

You know that Denver has been overrun by liberals, the LGBT crowd, illegal the immigrants, socialist and marxist obama sympathizers, a huge homeless population and has the highest home value inflation in America. I’m very glad other states are legalizing, I’m sick of all the 49’ers that keep coming in the Green Rush. It’s over inflated an already bloated real estate market to a white hot situation where people are in bidding wars for real estate.

I see mkts now as very confused, with idiot Algos running prices……yes Trump will build, but Copper up near 50 % in a few days…..pluuuuueeezzze.

Can imagine that the likes of Bezos is in shit street, as is Munsk and his maniacal dreams..yet as of now Trump is not in control, so all sorts of lunacy is likely….I am staying low profile…short term.

If you have to leave don’t try to outrun it by even going the opposite direction of the wind trying  to distance yourself it can move too fast. Ie coming from the north your moving south but in the direction the wind moving. Pick the least dangerous path of there is less foliage and things that burn  if possible and go east or west.

Eigher that or in the direction the best food and coffee can offer including fellow tenters lol

If we’re to believe it’s the bank stocks, interest rates and bonds are causing this reaction in the PM complex

Posted by eeos @ 16:14 on November 10, 2016  

I have a hard time understanding why Gold didn’t hit $5K when we were at the abyss.

 

Gold and Silver stocks are shit. I don’t care how much wealth people have accumulated in them. Just give me cheap phiz with minimal spread. Hope the banks are ready for long lines at the bullion windows.

Ororeef @ 15:41…Thanks!! Sometimes I scare myself with my own thinking, LOL

Posted by silverngold @ 16:11 on November 10, 2016  

What my very long term charts show is gold will reach a target of $2300 in May 2017. Now with this latest revelation I speculate that the way that is achieved is by gold reaching $1533 at the time the US dollar is devalued by 50%, bringing gold to $2300.

We do live in interesting times!!

Feeling pretty stooopid

Posted by Buygold @ 16:07 on November 10, 2016  

Who would’ve thought markets were going to act this way after a Trump victory?

My last three JNUG trades have been winners but not looking good now.

Nothing quite like gold trading in the universe.

Moggy hope you get out OK. I was in Knoxville a couple of weeks ago and the locals were saying how dry it was.

SNG…Ipso…Goldie

Just found out there is fire west of me and in Tennessee, too, so every way out is problematic…north is the most dangerous as the Nantahala Nat’l Forest has issued evacuation orders.  Officials suspect someone deliberately set this fire.

SnG…this is the usual fire season; this year is more dangerous than other years because of the severe drought we’ve had.  Wind is expected tomorrow, not good.

Goldie…I’ve kept a bug-out-bag in my car for the past 22 years and am down to only one indoor pussycat…I’ll see what tomorrow brings before packing a bag for him.

Here’s some information about the fire west of me:

Rough Ridge Fire Morning Update – 11/10

Incident: Rough Ridge Fire Wildfire Released: 3 hrs. ago

Related Information

Rough Ridge Fire Update: November 10, 2016, 10 a.m.

FAST FACTS: The Rough Ridge Fire is 10,336 acres and 13% contained. 296 personnel are assigned to the fire. Resources include 9 crews, 2 helicopters, 7 engines and 2 dozers.

Location: Cohutta Wilderness Area on the Chattahoochee National Forest

Current Fire Situation: Due to the persistent drought conditions and rugged terrain in the Cohutta Wilderness, fire managers are evaluating firefighting options with an emphasis on firefighter safety. Where possible, strategic firing operations, indirect fireline construction and air support are being used to slow fire progress and contain eventual spread through the wilderness area and National Forest System lands.

Its not EXTREME in fact I expect it ,just like my BREXIT CHART I JUST POSTED IMPLIES  ..a 25% devaluation would boost Gold overnight and boost EXPORTS  the same !   in Fact CARS would be the same price bought in Mexico or the US…  simply by a devaluation.Trump is well aware since he’s been talking about how the Chinese do it to us….if anybody paid attention…

think gold is getting into the buy zone–gold futures down 1.3% & JNUG down 20%-also silver up

Posted by Richard640 @ 15:34 on November 10, 2016  

Brexit had a 25 % increase in Gold Price for British Pound,we Want OURS ! and we want it NOW !

Thanks for that post.

For me, a genuine LOL!

Okay, here’s some extreme thinking!!

Posted by silverngold @ 15:28 on November 10, 2016  

Hillary lost…..but do any of you remember when Obama took office in 2009 it was rumored that he had sent Hillary to China to give China eminent domain over the US in the event the US defaulted on its debt to China??? At the time it was discounted as nothing but a conspiracy theory but since that time the US and Canada have been overrun by Chinese buying up real estate in our two countries.

Now Obama is stepping down and he has proven himself to be no friend of the US with his destruction  of the Constitution……and Hillary is now toast too with Trump’s landslide victory and Hillary hopefully on her way to prison for treason once Trump takes office……and all the bought and paid for criminals in Congress (and that is most of them) are pretty sure to be exposed, tarred and feathered, and run out of town once Trump takes over.

So what is the odds that as a parting shot Obama devalues the US dollar which is the same as defaulting on America’s debt to China…..and the bought off Congress approves this….and it happens before Trump takes over on January 20th????? That would basically give America to China on a silver platter and cause untold chaos in the US as well as giving Trump an impossible situation to handle before he is prepared to deal with it.

Is this totally within the realm of possibility or probability????   And might it also explain some of the bizarre stock market behavior as well as the tanking price of gold????

Or am I crazy or what??????????????????????

Trump needs to play hardball

Posted by Ororeef @ 15:27 on November 10, 2016  

and Tell Obama and the Clintonistas …its over !….either the DEMS suppport my plans and pass my agenda or Hillary& BIll go to JAIL and that might include Obama involved in the Cover Up..  ..There will be NO PARDONS ,and he will not say so in advance what his tactics will be.   They will be under threat of Jail for Trumps term because they are a wiley bunch and cant be trusted with any sympathy ..They must be kept under threat or they will go back to their usual tricks.  and if their friends in Wall st crash the Markets The Dems will PAY for it !    Just like Mexico will pay for the Wall !  Its not complicated….

Just put a 35% TAX on all money being transferred to Mexico ,just like the Tax on Cars coming from Mexico .That way all those untaxed earnings earned in America get TAXED at the Border before they go there !   WE do have control over the flow of money across borders  ..the Democrats put that in PLACE !   Its time it was used for Americas benefit to lower taxes on US..and Balance our Budget thank YOU DEMOCRATS for that !

Hope they can get them contained. Just in case maybe pack a go bag with the most important things near by. . Keep any Mr Kitties inside so you don’t have to worry about finding them in a rush. Even miles away I seen how fast fire can travel. Fast as a jet, literally so if you can smell smoke your not out of the danger zone. Which way the wind blows can help determine but then I seen in ” in mountains” wind just pick up out of nowhere.
