    The same way self-styled conservatives reconcile their Big Brother restricting trade and financing Big Pharma's Mengele experiments. They try to change the subject. If that doesn't work they make up a reason why it's "expedient".

    So as far as you're concerned, someone saying that Trump could and should have solved the problem this thread's about makes any thread all about any excuses for all Trump's failures. Got it. You hijacked the thread. His first comment was totally relevant, but then (finding you didn't have a leg to stand on, as usual) you changed the subject. He went along with it for a while, yes, but now is days later and you're still foaming at the mouth. Besides, you settled the question already, you know: Sane people don't consider "he didn't do it, his lawyer did it for him" exculpatory.

    I've seen that argument before. "I know people can't be trusted to make rational decisions because I'm not capable of making rational decisions, and that's why you have to support the totalitarian I've made the rational decision to support!"

    The only person I see trying to restrict me is you. Are you sure you measure up to that description? You have to have people you can trade freely with or you will be forced to engage in free trade against your will..? The comedy never stops.

    The fact that this stuff even needs to be explained just goes to show how far we've fallen. Making childbirth into a clinical affair was the first stage. Next, the act of intercourse itself was made clinical (condoms, barriers, etc.) COVID turned out not to be nearly as deadly as it seems the depop types had hoped, but it was still great for practicing "social distancing" and for covering up the doorway to sexual intimacy: the human face. The final stage will be the full castration of humanity, as a species, and we are on the verge of this with AI/robotics poised to absorb most, if not all, human sexual energy, thus sterilizing the entire species. That may sound like hyperbole, but if I had told you in 2017 that, in 5 years, there would be a fully conversant AI, nearly indistinguishable from a human and much smarter and more fluent than the average human on most topics, would you have thought that was hyperbole? Of course you would have, unless you're one of those people who believes every "secret government technology" rumor. Right now, they're working like mad on artificial womb technology. This isn't just "scientific curiosity" or "economics-driven technological innovation". What is the great economic problem being solved here?! Obviously, there is none. Contrary to popular perception, sex isn't just a dopamine hit, and it's not really about "getting off". Intercourse is a fundamentally spiritual act, in fact, it is one of the deepest and most important spiritual acts of all. That's why it's so important to get it right, and that's why strategic-objective #1 is to fight the coming attempted castration of our species. They want a human-free future. And if we stop making love, they'll get what they want. Note that I said "stop making love", not "stop making children". We can keep making children, yet become un-human. The real purpose of the coming physical castration, is spiritual castration, that is, the removal of our soul from within us, that inner mystery that is what makes us human. That is the thing they're ultimately seeking to eliminate. They want to make you -- the living you -- into an automaton, a machine, and they want to deny that you are conscious at all, and I can back those claims up from their own writings. They want to make you into a piece of furniture, while you yet live.

    Pretty much, yes, that's the idea. As a result of many complex social dynamics, the collective intelligence of humans in a large, unorganized group tends to be well below the population average. The population average isn't even very good. So, the intelligence of a large, unorganized group of people (such as the electorate) is horrible. Economists have partially explained why this happens in rational ignorance theory. There is such a thing as rational stupidity. If it doesn't matter to me to invest effort thinking something through, why will I bother? And if my choice (vote) doesn't make a difference in the ultimate outcome, then why would it matter to me to invest effort into it? The root problem is that the majority-vote mechanism for decision-making doesn't scale. For this reason, if I were in an "emperor pro tempore" position, I would basically "hold hostage" the issues that the everyman cares about (e.g. sports regulations and nonsense like that) in exchange for action on actually important issues, such as the Fed, strangulating regulations and taxation, uparmoring of police (that is, reversing it), and many more. "One for you, one for me." You give me one of my issues that are actually important, I will give you one of your issues that you care about. In this way, the populace would become motivated to actually fix the country. "He fixed the baseball pitch rules!" Who gives a damn about baseball pitches. But if I could use that (or something equivalently trivial, but which the everyman is deeply passionate about) as a bargaining chip to force Congress to start the process of shutting down the Fed, that's precisely what I would do. "You want fentanyl off the streets. OK, but first, give me my #1 action-item."

    I do. And while I am still skeptical of more intrusive regulations, I can not stand to see our country hollowed out, as you said, by the lowest bidder. I stated in the auto tariff thread, I was a Pat Buchanan "America First" man, long before I was a Ron Paul "Libertarian" man. What is going to be really painful to watch, is the progress and cost of rebuilding. Gonna be a nightmare for truckers, the only two routes to get north or south through Baltimore now is I-95 and I-895.

    Apologies. The counter-point is that these issues are actually quite complex and subtle, and the "conventional wisdom" on both left and right tends to be so wrong that it's just beyond belief. If you'd like to understand where I'm coming from, overall, I highly recommend Thomas Sowell's excellent and highly readable book, Basic Economics. I read that book in 2007 and it turned my world upside down. Note that I was a highly conservative Republican at that time, both culturally and economically. I had no idea how messed-up my economic beliefs were until I read BE. And, as a conservative, I was an economics genius compared to any typical moderate or left-leaning American. It's a problem so enormous that sometimes I despair of how it will ever be corrected. Milei-level of drastic is a bare-minimum. I think even more drastic measures would be required in the US because the stakes are so much higher. I don't even think about it very much because it's just too much to bear... I think we should not double-down on failed policies, and the War on Drugs is a proven failed policy. That doesn't mean I'm pro-legalization, I'm just anti-NEW-measures-which-are-proven-failures. We don't need to empower cops any more than they already are. And what else are you going to do to "get fentanyl off the streets" besides empowering our already tyrannical, redcoat police-forces?! What we need to do is wake up, as a nation, and start addressing the hard problems, in order of hardness. So yes, that means we need to confront the hardest problems first. And first among those is ending the Fed. That doesn't mean we need to complete the project of ending the Fed before addressing fentanyl. If I were "emperor pro-tempore" of America, this is the deal I would strike: if my fellow Americans are so eager to get fentanyl off the street, first pass a resolution that the Fed is going to be ended and set up a committee to research how that will be done, and then move on to fentanyl. And I would apply that same bargain for every issue that suburbanites care deeply about, because suburbanites automatically care about the wrong things. That's no fault of their own, because there is no good reason why they should care about the right things, that is, the incentives are all wrong. My point still stands: the government itself is the problem, not the solution. Adding more of the poison won't cure the problem created by the old poison.

    I highly recommend HBO's miniseries "Chernobyl". It is, IMO, the best television produced since "The Sopranos". Gorbachev, in his memoirs, stated that Chernobyl was the single final reason for the fall of the USSR. And the show makes it clear why that is.

    For the same reason that there are no requirements to have assist tugs escort vessels all the way to the sea buoy. For the same reason bridges do not have massive rock "rip raps" around them to stop a vessel. For the same reason cargo vessels are not built to the redundancy standards that the vessels I served as master on are built to. Because it's cheaper.

    If you're right, then the main battlefield is spiritual/religious. Which if you take a look over my post history in the last several years, is what I've been constantly harping on. This is not just politics anymore. It's spiritual. We need a renaissance of biblically-based Christianity in this country, because that's what it was built on. We've since gotten distracted with Yoga and Wicca and every new-fangled thing to come down the pike. Sure, the other religious perspectives are free to exist, but they are objectively inferior in terms of not only moral teachings but, even more importantly, their theological view of God, humans and society. A nation of people living in religious delusion is guaranteed to be unfit for a republic based on individual accountability and self-determination. OK and "First do no harm". The VERY first step is to stop causing new/fresh injuries. If someone is in a severe roadside collision and they are injured and in need of EMT, the first step is to let go of their ankle and stop dragging them along the side of the road causing new injuries to their spine/whatever. So, the first step that WTP need to take is to put a full-halt, forthwith, to all expansionary measures. That means: stop printing new money, stop expanding government expenditures, stop increasing government revenues, stop issuing subsidized credit to banks/etc. stop increasing regulations, stop making new laws, stop approving new weapons systems, stop deploying more troops, stop opening new theaters of war, etc. etc. etc. Also, do not allow the Fed to trigger a deflationary collapse... they need to be "freeze-framed" and forced to maintain exact ceteris paribus until WTP decide through Congress what to do with them and how to disband them. IOW, stop dragging the poor collision victim along the pavement and causing more and more massive new injuries. Once we STOP making new injuries, we can start the discussion over how to prepare for the arrival of the EMT, i.e. how to reverse the past century+ of ever-increasing damage that has been done by layers upon layers upon layers of government corruption and misguided interventions. That's not what I meant. What I mean is that they are taking a self-solving problem and they are characterizing it in terms of something that "WE need to stop." Self-solving problems can usually just be solved by freeing up private parties to defend their own property. When a homeless person gets shot and killed for trespassing in the loading dock of a local business, and the police arrive and say, "Good job, we need private citizens to defend their property so the whole burden is not on us", and no charges are pressed, the rest of them will flee like a flock of birds to some new destination. I don't have anything against the homeless, I've been homeless myself at one point. It can happen to anyone, most Americans do not realize how thin the line between themselves and homelessness. But these scourges are always the result of prior bad policy, and then the ruling class just uses the scourge itself as excuse to call for even more bad policy to fix the previous bad policy. This is the cycle of modern omnipotent government that has been going on, unchecked, for over a century.

    I just started looking at the Constitution Party platform since you recommended it awhile back. There are some good things in it, but there are also some concessions to statism that I think are dangerous despite the fact that I'm moving away from strict anarcho-capitalist libertarianism. They support regulation of "obscenity", which isn't really defined, they support some drug restrictions, and they are careful to show their respect for agents of our currently illegitimate state (veterans), as well as condemning attempts to cut their benefits despite the fact that they are paid out of our pockets and for participating in unjust wars for an unjust system.

    The Constitution Party isn't all bad, and I might support some of their candidates, but I don't think there is any party I can support on principle (LP is pro-choice so not an option) I respect strict theonomy even though I'm not sure I agree with it yet. I don't think anybody believes what I'm starting to believe these days.

    OK, so my question is, with relations to Galatians, how is it that you can call Roman Catholics on this board "brothers" even though they add works to the gospel just like the Judaizers did? How is adding baptism as a requirement in order to be saved any different than adding circumcision as a requirement?
