{townhall.com} ~ Like a crack addict who can’t seem to think about anything other than his next fix, liberals can’t seem to think about anything but spewing their emotions at the world. They may be reflexively saying something that makes them feel compassionate, outraged, sensitive or angry, but liberals usually seem to be caught in the grip of some strong emotion.

Of course, it goes without saying that emotion unmoored from logic produces a lot of warped views, but it also mires a person in short term thinking….if you could even call it that. Because when you’re emotional, most of the time you’re not thinking; you’re reacting based on your “feels.” This is where a lot of liberals live 24 x 7 and so, it’s not shocking that their behavior is so thoughtless.

Take rock star Katy Perry’s reaction to the Manchester bombing, "No barriers, no borders, we all just need to coexist.” So, what does co-existing with radical Islamic terrorists who want to kill you mean? Is Katy Perry going to invite ISIS terrorists from Syria to bomb her next concert?

Can you imagine how bizarre the typical liberal reaction to terrorism must seem to the terrorists?

Terrorist: We want to kill you in the name of Allah because we’re good Muslims!

Liberal: No, you’re not. That’s not what you believe.

Terrorist: Yes, it is.

Liberal: No, no…you’re oppressed and probably upset about global warming.

Terrorist: Wait, what?

Liberal: Let’s all co-exist!

Terrorist: How did you miss the entire, “We want to kill you in the name of Allah” thing? What is wrong with you?

Then there are the Trump Administration leaks. Undoubtedly, some of the leaks inside the Trump Administration are coming from his staff, but others appear to be coming from the “deep state.” In other words, Democratic holdovers in the government bureaucracy are leaking information to the press in order to attempt to sabotage a rival political party. Obviously, these leakers are so consumed with their hatred for Trump that they feel politically motivated leaks are justifiable. Except what’s going to almost inevitably happen once a Democrat gets back into office? Republicans in the deep state are now going to leak things in an attempt to embarrass him.

Liberals are so overwrought with emotion that they don’t get the idea that they’re setting precedents when they do these sort of things. It’s like the shock and surprise they experienced when they used the nuclear option to keep Republicans from blocking Barack liar-nObama’s cabinet appointments, only to find that it also meant they couldn’t stop Trump’s cabinet appointments. Wait, you mean that applies to liberals, too? Yes, and those leaks? The next Democrat President is likely to be undermined in exactly the same way.

Look at the liberal threats and violence at universities that have become a regular occurrence. At worst, liberals riot when people they disagree with speak on college campuses and at best, they make threats and do everything they can to rob conservative speakers of their First Amendment rights. Liberals are so supportive of this kind of thing that the police in liberal cities or on liberal campuses refuse to stop the rioting or disruptions.

In other words, conservatives no longer get the same protection from the police. Even illegal aliens are treated better by the police on campuses controlled by liberals. So, when that’s the case, is anyone surprised to see that someone like Based Stick Man was warmly received by conservatives for breaking a stick over a violent ANTIFA protestor’s head? It wouldn’t surprise me if we start seeing armed gangs of conservatives policing marches to protect other people on the Right from armed gangs of liberals since the Left has convinced the police not to do it. This is the world liberals are creating with their short term thinking: one where both sides of the political argument will have armed factions at political rallies. How healthy does that sound for the country?

Liberals do the same thing on the deficit. “Supporting that program makes me feel good! Spend somebody else’s money on it and I don’t like thinking about the debt; so just ignore that.”

They did it with liar-nObamacare. They lied about the bill, assumed no one would recognize they were misled to when the bill became law and cared nothing about creating an expensive new entitlement program when the country is drowning in debt.

They get upset that Trump actually told NATO that if we’re going to be in a military alliance, then the nations involved will have to spend enough on their militaries so that they field an effective military force. How dare Trump try to make NATO useful again!

They’re so blinded by their emotions that they’ll even rank liar-Hillary Clinton as the 6th most beautiful woman on the planet. Seriously.

It is impossible to competently govern a nation based on pure emotion and short term thinking. Additionally as a practical matter, it’s impossible to cut a deal with people whose entire rationale for doing things is, “A celebrity told me what I should believe and now I have to do it” or “I heard a sad story yesterday; so everything has changed.” At some point, liberals have to engage in some long term thinking that goes beyond, “As long as we’re in charge, everything we do is okay,” or our country is going to get dragged down the tubes along with them.

{townhall.com} ~ Democrats just lost another election, this time in Montana. Unless they are willing to do some down-on-your-knees, cry-out-to-Jesus soul searching, the only way they’ll win another election is if they collude with the Russians to steal one the way Donald Trump didn’t.

It’s going to take much more than an Olivia Pope-style scandal “fixer” to fix what’s wrong with the Democratic Party. Putting a cowboy suit on an anti-gun, big government liberal like Rob Quist who regularly does gigs at a nudist resort in Idaho, was about as effective as putting lipstick on a pig.

It was also a naked attempt to blanket a semblance of normalcy over a Democrat Party that better represents the characters in the Star Wars cantina scene than those on Main Street or Your Street, U.S.A.

That’s why Greg Gianforte won Montana’s special election, despite being charged with assaulting a journalist one day prior.

After reading reports and listening to the audio of the altercation, I thought Gianforte’s response was kind of sexy. Before the snowflake generation evolved, that’s how manly men resolved their differences. And still do, in places like Montana and Alaska, where men aren’t ostracized for being men. They duke it out, brush it off, shake hands and go on their way.

Republicans should be on guard that the leftist-controlled media are not there to get facts; they are there to get at them. Reporters who “just happen” to have a recorder turned on will do their darnedest to bait politicians into physical altercations. As tempting as it might be, there’s no place in politics for body-slamming obnoxious metrosexual snowflake reporters, or any other kind for that matter.

Democrats and the left-leaning media had nothing to say when in 2004, Al Franken emerged from a crowd and body-slammed a guy who was trying to shout down then-Governor Howard Dean. Democrats promoted that clown to Senator but are outraged at Gianforte.

Let’s not forget that the violent political climate propagated by today’s progressive-left is to blame for fostering a culture of violence. Violence, not manly wrestling matches.

The Democrat Party is overrun by violent far-left extremists who regularly display their antipathy to things they dislike using violence. Setting fires, throwing Molotov cocktails, smashing windows, throwing rocks at police, destroying private property, and physically attacking Republicans like what happened at Berkley in February was the norm long before Donald Trump arrived on the scene.

Normal Americans watching this appalling behavior have come to understand that just like terrorists, these leftwing anarchists the Democrat Party harbors cannot be reasoned with, so defeating Democrats at the ballot box is America’s only hope.

Despite the barrage of Trump-Russia nothing-burgers the media cooks up and dishes out daily, regular Americans believe what the Democrat Party stands for is far worse. Democrats are out of touch to believe that their globalist, gun-grabbing, anti-Christian, anti-free speech, anti-capitalism, Russian-boogiemen-around-every-corner, race-baiting platform of victimhood would win the hearts and minds of regular people.

What’s flabbergasting to Democrats is that America’s proverbial “abused wife” on the other side of the aisle has finally conjured up the courage to put her foot down and say, “No more! Not in my house!” No more to the lies…no more to the abuse.

Shocking?

Only to those who refuse to take an honest look at themselves and the political party to which they associate.

Cruelty, Violence Logical, Natural In Religious

Expression, Christianity Not Perfect

by Rick Wells

{rickwells.us} ~ Part of the lie festival that liar-nObama headlined in Germany on Thursday included a few comments on religion, clearly he hasn’t given up on the caliphate just because he’s no longer the figurehead of the destruction of America... He’s gotten more ambitious and that, as well as pressing the establishment of world government under the UN oligarchy, is why he’s in Germany with Europe’s leader of the globalist caliphate creation, his counterpart, Angela Merkel. It’s clear that the audience knows nothing of liar-nObama when they sit silently as he says, “I’m always humble” and then corrects himself to the still hilariously absurd, “I try to be humble when it comes to my faith.” Anyone who’s been paying attention during the 8 year disaster knows he’s not humble about anything, ever. liar-nObama never identifies himself as a Christian or an Islamist, only making generic references to his “faith.” As the number one Islamic salesman and enabler in America we can take a not too wild guess as to what his religious preference is. It’s got nothing to do with a cross and dying for the sins of believers in the world...http://rickwells.us/obama-cruelty-violence-logical-natural-religious-expression-christianity-not-perfect/

Chaffetz Fires Back After FBI Won’t

Give Him Comey’s Memos On Trump

by Jack Davis

{westernjournalism.com} ~ House Oversight Committee Chairman Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, is not taking no for an answer...The FBI told Chaffetz on Wednesday that it would not, for now, hand over documents that included former FBI Director James Comey’s internal memos of his meetings with President Donald Trump. Published reports based on leaked excerpts from those memos have portrayed Comey as saying he felt pressured by Trump to drop investigations into former national security adviser Michael Flynn and Russian meddling in the 2016 election. The FBI did not refuse ever to supply the documents, but said that it could not hand the documents over in light of the appointment of Robert Mueller as special counsel to investigate issues related to alleged Russian collusion with the Trump campaign... http://www.westernjournalism.com/chaffetz-fires-back-after-fbi-wont-give-him-comeys-memos-on-trump/?utm_source=Email&utm_medium=PostUp&utm_campaign=WJDailyEmail&utm_content=2017-05-26

Amid North Korea dangers, US to launch

first-of-its-kind missile intercept test

by foxnews.com

{foxnews.com} ~ The Pentagon announced plans for a test that would involve shooting down an intercontinental-ballistic missile — similar to what North Korea has launched — in just a few days... U.S. military personnel plan to launch a custom-made missile from the Marshall Islands and aim to shoot it down in space by firing an interceptor missile from a base in California. The missile is meant to simulate an ICBM, meaning it will fly faster than missiles used in previous intercept tests, according to Christopher Johnson, spokesman for the Missile Defense Agency. The target is not a mock-up of an actual North Korean ICBM... http://www.foxnews.com/world/2017/05/26/amid-north-korea-dangers-us-to-launch-first-its-kind-missile-intercept-test.html

On insurance coverage:

CBO and JCT estimate that, in 2018, 14 million more people would be uninsured under H.R. 1628 than under current law. The increase in the number of uninsured people relative to the number projected under current law would reach 19 million in 2020 and 23 million in 2026. In 2026, an estimated 51 million people under age 65 would be uninsured, compared with 28 million who would lack insurance that year under current law. Under the legislation, a few million of those people would use tax credits to purchase policies that would not cover major medical risks.

CBO and JCT estimate that enacting that version of H.R. 1628 would reduce the cumulative federal deficit over the 2017-2026 period by $119 billion.

On premium costs:

CBO and JCT projected premiums for single policyholders under H.R. 1628 (before any tax credits were applied) and compared those with the premiums projected under current law for policies purchased in the nongroup market. H.R. 1628, as passed by the House, would tend to increase such premiums before 2020, relative to those under current law—by an average of about 20 percent in 2018 and 5 percent in 2019, as the funding provided by the act to reduce premiums had a larger effect on pricing.

 

Starting in 2020, however, average premiums would depend in part on any waivers granted to states and on how those waivers were implemented and in part on what share of the funding available from the Patient and State Stability Fund was applied to premium reduction.

 

Although premiums would decline, on average, in states that chose to narrow the scope of EHBs, some people enrolled in nongroup insurance would experience substantial increases in what they would spend on health care.
