One of the BEST moments in my life was seeing Hillary Clintoon's sniveling crying face, when she conceded the 2016 election to President - elect T - R - U - M - P...

GAWD, I LOVED it...!!!

Her obit will start off with, "Hillary Clinton, failed 2016 Presidential candidate, has died..."

As joyful an experience as seeing the Berlin Wall fall on 9 Novmeber 1989...

I had friends in East Germany and also West Berlin, I was SO happy that the vile DDR regime crumbled...

One Dresden friend was in prison for the crime of "Attempting to flee the Republic"... he had tried to cross into Austria from Hungary in 1984 and was caught...

I also had Czech friends, their Velvet Revolution was so very inspiring...

The East German and the Czechs were very brave; despite despotic regimes, freedom eventually prevailed...

I had visited both places for extended times in the late 70's, and I stayed with my friends there... even the fact that they hosted me, a guest from "the capitalist West" in their homes, earned them "marks" on their secret police records...

In the 60's I had a lot of penfriends all over the world, from 1965 a nice West Berlin family, and from early 1968 a nice Prague family...

The letters from the Czechs were full of hopeful news about Dubcek's attempts to have "socialism with a human face"...

After the August 1968 Warsaw Pact invasion, the letters they sent were heartbreaking - by the end of 1968, strict censorship of mail was re - instated, so we could not write freely to each about "political matters"...

I consider myself very lucky to have seen socialism "live and up close" - the human misery, the Berlin Wall, the Stasi and STB spying on everyone (I have a Stasi file, even as a Western visitor)... the awful red tape even a Western visitor had to go through, e.g. visas, "minimum daily currency exchange"...

As one of my Czech friends who was a communist party member told me, "Greg, we are like radishes - red on the outside and white inside - no one takes socialism seriously..." She and her husband joined the party for career reasons: she was station manager at Prague Airport for Lufthansa, a nice job with travel benefits... he worked in the Economics Ministry... they had a lovely home in a leafy Prague suburb, a VW Beetle and a Fiat ("An ITALIAN Fiat, no one of those crummy Russian 'Lada' copies!", they said, lol...)...

Ah, Cold War memories...!!!

I haven't followed very closely, but hasn't Trump replaced enough
high-level judges by his own cronies to always be acquitted of
everything?

Our socialist, I'm sorry, democrat friends have flipped the following
prose to fit their philosophy and are eagerly awaiting the results.
They won't be good for anybody.

They first came for the Communists,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist.
Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew.
Then they came for the trade unionists,
and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist.
Then they came for the Catholics,
and I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant.
Then they came for me
There was no one left to speak for me.

I just pulled a Joe Biden and plagiarized.

And it's coming a LOT faster than you think - for example, here is some bad news for Scotland, and for free speech in general... read and weep...!!!

"… I am truly appalled that the legacy of Thomas Aikenhead and the Scottish Enlightenment…has been trashed by the Scottish Parliament and the Yousaf Government with the Hate Crime and Public Order Act. From April 1st 2024, saying the wrong thing at your own dinner table, let alone in a drunken pub rant like young Thomas did in 1697, will once again land you in significant trouble with the law, 327 years, eight months and 24 days after Thomas died.

R.I.P. The Scottish Enlightenment 1697-2024

by Alex Tabarrok March 22, 2024 in Current Affairs History Law

https://marginalrevolution.com/marginalrevolution/2024/03/r-i-p-the-scottish-enlightenment-1697-2024.html

"The Scottish Enlightenment will die on April 1st 2024, exactly 327 years, eight months and 24 days after the incident that provoked it. For on April 1st the Hate Crime and Public Order Act (Scotland) 2021 comes into force, an Act which will criminalise speech and opinion deemed ‘hateful’ even if spoken in the privacy of your own home...

On January 8th 1697, Thomas Aikenhead, a 20 year-old student, was marched the two miles from the Old Tolbooth Prison on the High Street to a windswept sandy hillock just to the west of the causeway that crossed the marshes between Edinburgh and the port town of Leith, known as Gallow Lee. Surrounded by the pious prayers of the clergymen of the Kirk (the Church of Scotland), Thomas was hanged by the neck until he was dead...

What was Thomas – a murderer? A rapist? Was he one of Edinburgh’s notorious ‘Resurrection Men’? No. Young Thomas’s crime was that in an Edinburgh tavern on Christmas Eve 1696, he had a drink and went on a rant offending the Church and its stranglehold on Scottish culture. He was reported, arrested and tried: “The jury found Aikenhead guilty of cursing and railing against God, denying the incarnation and the Trinity and scoffing at the Scriptures.”...

Thomas Aikenhead was the last person to be hanged for Blasphemy in Britain. As such he became a martyr and inspiration. The hanging of a young man for the crime of having a rant in a pub late at night became seen as an act of tyranny and oppression so heinous it was the spark that turned a barren minor nation on the north west fringe of Europe into the blazing furnace of ideas that was the Scottish Enlightenment. Ideas that would change the world forever...

… I am truly appalled that the legacy of Aikenhead and the Scottish Enlightenment…has been trashed by the Scottish Parliament and the Yousaf Government. From April 1st 2024, saying the wrong thing at your own dinner table, let alone in a drunken pub rant like young Thomas did, will once again land you in significant trouble with the law, 327 years, eight months and 24 days after Thomas died...

Mr. Yousaf, his ministers and those who drafted and will enforce this law would do well to remember how history judged those who hanged Thomas Aikenhead on that bleak winter morning on the road to Leith. In doing so they should recall that this gross act of overreach and tyranny was the high tide of the power of the Kirk, power which was swept aside by the forces unleashed when the people said ‘enough’..."

Agreed! I still have a piece of the wall somewhere as a reminder of the
evils of socialism.

I think this is an important divider when I discuss politics with people.
Most, if not all people who love socialism, have never experienced the
effects of it themselves and think it is some ideal system where you never
have to work and the government feeds you.

Most, if not all people I talk with who have experienced socialism up
close, or who are skilled at thinking logically and scientifically, hate
socialism and will do anything from allowing that mind-sickness from
spreading again.

Reminds me of a story I heard last summer. The parents of a friend of the
family where communist party hot shots. They were so powerful in the party
that our friend got a car for his birthday present when he turned 18.

After a lot of drinkign he crashed the car into the gym of his school and
was expelled for causing so much damage.

He went to his parents, who went to talk with the principal, and all was
forgotten.

He is probably the one I know who is most nostalgic about those times and
he is also, for some strange reason, very pro-Putin.

Best regards,
Daniel

Noooo! Don't tell me they were inspired by swedens hate crime laws? If you
say "negro" or criticize immigration you can get fined! The left setup a
hate-group with the goal of searchign facebook and fining retired people
who were not informed of which words were deemed illegal.

Of course punishment was swift in 2015 with a wave of several 100 of
thousands of arabians, and now we have low intensive civil war in some
suburbs not speak of car burnings, crime and rape. =(

to the Supreme Court where he can get a free pass from the judges
there. luckily though he's still be dumb enough to violate laws
that even they cannot wriggle him out of.
