Will the Left Call Off Their Dogs?

 

Most of us hope that if (or hopefully, when) Kamala loses, the Left will tell their constituents to stand down. You can be sure that they are arming with bricks, pipes and matches to protest, although most of them may not be political people at all. I’ve intentionally called their rioters “dogs,” since violent protests show their primitive nature and behaviors.

During the protests in 2020, the Leftist leaders and media tried to pretend that nothing serious was actually happening—we couldn’t trust our lying eyes, as windows were broken and businesses went up in flames. Kamala contributed to a fund that let violators out on bail. And I suspect that this time around, since they had a trial run four years ago, the chaos will be more devastating.

I would like to see the leaders of this country—the outgoing president and vice-president, as well as members of Congress—get out ahead of the election results. Even if they do, they most likely will be ignored. And if they are ignored, their complaints about riots will probably look more like hand-wringing.

So I look forward with qualified optimism and trepidation to learning the election outcomes. Let’s hope the governors wise up and call out the National Guard immediately and enforce law and order.

We deserve that protection.

    Reagan was wildly popular, but he left us with Bush the First. He was a disaster, an extreme socialist and a wishy washy war starting weak man who returned us to the socialism of Nixon and he personifies the “establishment.”

    I always say this. Bush got rid of Paul Volker. Why would you do that? Paul Volker totally knew what he was doing. He largely talked plainly to everybody. Then we got Alan Greenspan, Mr. gobbledygook fed speak, that started all of this.

    I realize people don’t get this, but you start having bad Fed policy and then you can’t reverse out of it.

    As a tree-hugging Oregon native friend of mine reminds me frequently, Volcker was a Jimmy Carter appointment. From everything I’ve read, he was very, very good.

    That’s right. The guy that Carter appointed before him was terrible. Probably the worst. Reagan was a big believer in exploring the gold standard and I think since he wasn’t worried about being reelected for a few years, he talked to Volker and just cut him loose.

    I saw this years ago, but Reagan was really big on committees looking into the gold standard with Ron Paul. I mean, they really got into it. It probably didn’t make the media, though. I’m not saying we have to do that, but what we are doing now is obviously horrific.

    Reagan kept him, HW cut him loose.

    It’s the most embarrassing ever thing in government. Bush 41 and all of his creepy staff got rid of Volker after wiping out approximately 20 to 14 years of brutal inflation in two years. The reason they did that is because the golf delta Fed is political. They wanted easier money so they would get reelected. Then it gets more and more politicized to the point where the Fed is worrying about the stock market. Stupid people were talking about what a brilliant Fed chairman Greenspan was. He was one of the worst, and he spoke in total gobbledygook.
