The WaPo is correctly telling us that democracy dies in darkness. They simply don’t finish, and tell us that they’re doing they’re best to keep us all in the dark.

Mostly, they’re gaslighting us at every opportunity.
Exactly. Since when did the tyranny of the majority become the ultimate goal? When did we stop speaking of liberty, and substitute it with democracy, as though no one should notice the difference?
If, as Jesus said, Narrow in the path, and few are those that find it, then upholding democracy as though it were synonymous with justice would be the best way to ensure the degradation and ultimate destruction of any society.

But the media needs to interpret things for us because ordinary people presented with the facts get easily confused. Anyone old enough to remember might think it’s already too late to stop the Earth from being consumed by the same runaway greenhouse effect that destroyed Venus, and not realize that ackschulully no scientists ever said anything like that, never happened, we have until 2030 or 2050 or so to stop the 2°C of warming that will merely devastate the planet.
People studying the scientific facts without the assistance of the media might even believe real scientists are really talking about 2° total since pre-Industrial Revolution times, aka since the end of The Little Ice Age, notice we’ve already had about a degree and a half warming since then, so it’s really already about as bad as they hope to prevent. Obviously it’s much better to let the media tell us the truth we should be believing.

How many here, the day after 9/11 One and Two, still harbor the resolve of an American filled with dark hate and cold rage? How much treasure is still to be taken from us? I’m sure the families that had members murdered on those days would give much treasure to have their treasures returned. Even now, 18 years later, the families only have the taste from the salt of their tears to carry them on.
Greenpeace activists have suspended themselves from the Fred Hartman Bridge, effectively shutting down the Houston Ship Channel to ships trying to enter and leave the port:
Coast Guard has closed off just a portion of the channel. Now since energy is a National Defense issue and these people are disrupting international commerce, does this rise to being terrorism? Does this deserve any response beyond waiting for these hanging Greens to dry up and drop off? 😉

See, that’s the problem with living in the suburbs of quiet, placid, calm Salt Lake City. (sigh…..) Nothing fun like this happens here. Lots of talk from the Lunatic Fringe Libtard Left, but little action.
If I were there, I guar-an-damn-tee SOMETHING would happen. Shoot at them with paintballs or 22LR. Maybe pour paint or “buckets of blood” (anyone remember that song?) from overhead. Cut the support lines? hehehehe Watch the scramble.
I feel about them the same way I feel about the protesters laying on the sidewalk in front of the new Canadian Chik-Fil-A. Don’t walk OVER them, step directly ON them.
Then just leave them there and let the clowns debate about it; maybe the green eels will even join them…that would be fun!
