Prudence for Dummies: Asking Politely

Asking Politely

Breitbart reports Jeb Bush says we need to control the border by politely asking illegals to leave.

Mr. Bush, would you please go away?

It will probably work just as well on Jeb as it does on the illegals.

So what would that be in Spanish?:

¿Sr. Bush, por favor márchese?

¿Emigrantes ilegales, por favor márchese?

Spanish isn't my language, so I'll trust the translator. I hope I didn't say something obscene.

Heh.

I don't know, It is very liberating watching the train wreck from the sidelines this time. Just confirms my suspicions.

Now, back to reading "Bunkers for Dummies".

I know what you mean. They all look like losers on both sides.

Plus, given what I've gone through the last couple of weeks, I really don't care.

Sure, there are the kids and grandkids, but they are young. I'll do what I can to help them. The "authorities", though, do not scare me anymore, at all.

The only possible contenders I have seen that look any good are Walker, Jindal and Perry.
Plus, they have governing experience.

I like Cruz, Gowdy and Seesions but they need more experience, although I would certainly vote for any one of them if they get the nomination.

But Jeb? He's far worse than Romney or even Christie or Paul.

Quotables

Don't believe them, don't fear them, don't ask anything of them -- Solzhenitsyn

Tyrannos omnes oportet perire — “It is fitting that all tyrants perish”

The true Christian should not resign himself to the inevitable: he should trust in the impertinence of a repeated prayer. -- Don Colacho

Political tags — such as royalist, communist, democrat, populist, fascist, liberal, conservative, and so forth — are never basic criteria. The human race divides politically into those who want people to be controlled and those who have no such desire. The former are idealists acting from highest motives for the greatest good of the greatest number. The latter are surly curmudgeons, suspicious and lacking in altruism. But they are more comfortable neighbors than the other sort. -- Robert A. Heinlein

When law and morality are in contradiction, the citizen finds himself in the cruel dilemma of either losing his moral sense or of losing respect for the law -- Bastiat

The tank, the B-52, the fighter-bomber, the state-controlled police and military are the weapons of dictatorship. The rifle is the weapon of democracy.

If guns are outlawed, only the government will have guns. Only the police, the secret police, the military. The hired servants of our rulers.

Only the government -- and a few outlaws.

I intend to be among the outlaws. --Edward Abbey from “The Right to Arms”
