We just concluded one of the strangest, and most illuminating, weeks in the history of American politics — a week in which the Democrat Party, through its majority control of the U.S. House of Representatives, exposed itself as not just driven by out-of-the-mainstream anti-American and anti-civilization ideologues but by radicals lacking the political skill to carry a message even with the aid of a slavish mainstream media.
That was the takeaway from the Robert Mueller hearing on Wednesday, in which the Democrats’ anti-Trump cleanup hitter was summoned to Capitol Hill ostensibly to set the stage for the long-fantasized impeachment of the president.
But the Mueller testimony bombed completely,

DemonRats are dictator wannabees so they can openly enrich themselves and commit murder with impunity.

Just got timed out on American Spectator same as getting timed out on Washington Times the other day. Can only get the first paragraph. Too bad they do this to us or are they only timing out those of us that read conservative articles?

Nice piece by McKay. His closing sentence in reference to the dim party and the left sums it up nicely,
"Reclaiming our national discourse from idiots and would-be tyrants is well worth doing."
The dim party is on life support and will disappear after November 2020. What will replace it? A radicalized and well-weaponized faction that an equally radicalized msm will slobber all over.

Andrew Weissmann, who had single-handedly put over 100,000 people out of work in investigations of Enron and Arthur Andersen, which resulted in appellate courts throwing out his prosecutorial achievements due to abuse.
And yet he kept 100 percent of his credibility and employability just as Mueller did after he was caught in his crime of keeping three innocent men in prison when he knew they were innocent. They get to come back and come back and come back to destroy even more innocent lives and commit egregious crimes and continue to get promoted and rewarded ad infinitum and they get to do it right out there in the open while flipping off everybody. Hmm, how 'bout that? Still think we live in a representative republic based on the Constitution? If you do, get a bowl. Your purple unicorn is pooping Skittles. Don't want to let them fall to the ground.
Reclaiming our national discourse from idiots and would-be tyrants is well worth doing.
Tell that to the GOP and especially Mitch-BUUUUHHH-BUUUH-BUH-bipartisan McConnel who, along with the rest of the Republicans (including Lindsey-"I'm conservative, no really, I am" Graham) aide and abet the Marxists and do everything they can to help the Marxists destroy Trump.

You left out perhaps the most important: Regardless of what you want government to do more of or do in addition to what it currently does, you cannot get more funds out of the economy to do it. It doesn't matter how right or just your cause happens to be. We have run out of other people's money. In fact we actually got more by attempting to take less. To be a proper democrat you have to pretend to believe otherwise, we should do something for the poor little refugees so let's tax more.
And for my 9th belief, you have to believe that you can accumulate debt forever without dire consequences. As Milton Friedman said, all debts are paid. It may be by the lender. Don't expect them to be pleased with that and offer to loan you more.

The most important thing to remember is not how many dumb things the Democrats demand you believe, or even what they are, but the fact that they demand you obey. They have gone beyond dictatorial. They're full-blown insane. and no matter what the subject is, they fanatically insist that you believe, talk, and act like you believe it too. Or else.

I assume he only listed 7 because of bandwidth restraints. To list ALL of their ''Dumbest Things'' would take a book the size of War and Peace.

This is a well-written summary of the entire democrat plan to impose their brand of "leadership" over the rest of us through such tactics such as shame, diversity, racism and alteration of morals and religion. The battle has two fronts, taking away our means of defense and subsequently imposing socialism under a dictator. Blacks alone are not preaching racism, they have assistance from such useful idiots as Joy Behar, Michael Moore, The Meathead and the many media organizations and congressmen who pander to Blacks for reasons known only to them. Keep the powder dry, it's coming to a head. We either stand up for our legal rights now or lose them for a long time.

Valuable article. Brief and concise, and true. We need to keep reminding the public about the Twana Brawley fiasco, etc., etc.

Just understand; democrats work on an entirely different logic. For example, the mentioned Enron and Arthur Anderson, despite Weissmann's ultimate failure, from a prosecutorial point, is a huge success by Democrat values. After all he tied up huge sums of money of those 'evil's corporate interests and managed to get around 100,000 of their employees laid off! Hurrah! Hurrah! They lost the battle but won the war - which was to do irreparable damage.
They lost nothing, not even Weissmann, who is still kicking around in the highest levels of government. The only others who lost were taxpayers. Legal actions aren't cheap.

Memo to Scott McKay and The American Spectator - - -
If your headline says, "The Seven Dumbest Things" - - then you should provide a list of those seven dumbest things. Otherwise - - you're just wasting everyone else's time.
Buh-bye!

As Thomas Sowell is wont to say: You need to ask 3 questions of these 'know it all' dictators.
1. Compared to what? 2. At what cost? (and that is not just $$$) 3. What hard evidence do you have to support that claim? These little tinpot tyrants promote some sentimental and seemingly laudable scheme or bromide and then the 'problem' actually gets worse. Like with welfare - sounds wonderful at first - feed the poor! but after 5 or 10 years of free handouts to unwed mothers suddenly statistics show that the black family (as well as other families) is collapsing. Do they stop & reconsider their 'solution' - no! They just carry on destroying society - which likely is their goal in the first place.

# 2, you can get in through your smart phone or a different search engine! The spectator oboviously got bad marketing advice! They would be smarter to track readers by email, demographics and political positions and market that to advertisers!

Of all the lame brained, counterfactual nonsense that the Dems put out and try to get you to believe, the clearest fiction is casting the ICE detention centers as "concentration camps".
As Mr. McKay says: "...anyone in an ICE detention facility expressing a willingness to return to one’s home country may do so at any time, that no work is required of the detainees, that anyone physically harming them is subject to job discipline if not prosecution, and that conditions in those facilities are generally nicer than those prevailing in their countries of origin."
Yeah, perhaps the broadest comment which applies to all of their narrative threads is that facts have no place in their narrative. They insist you believe their narrative, even when the facts are clearly, glaringly otherwise.

The fundamental flaw in their thinking is twofold. On the one hand their ideology is disconnected from human realities and abstract and, thus, they do not want to be challenged with facts and historical realities. The second is that their passion is utterly personal, the direct opposite of abstraction. They are angry over some personal slights or failings or, most often, an inability to belong. Hence they attach themselves to large 'movements' which give them a sense of belonging, attention, and the opportunity to dominate others. This is much more of a sickness than a political orientation. In its larger, politically-correct, victimological forms, the dims' ideology connects their personal failings to some grand historical narrative of oppression, turning them into figures from a larger-than-life romance. The purpose is the same however: to help them feel as if they belong, to give them attention and give them the opportunity to take revenge for their personal failings by dominating others. Their numbers are far larger than one might expect because their fellow-travelers believe that this is the 'right' club to belong to; hence they join without giving it much thought (but a great deal of 'feeling').

The Progressives/Democrats and their sycophants in the MSM are trying to destroy President Trump "deplorable" names.intended to paint him as so terrible that you should not believe him. This is because they do not have any evidence to back up their claims. Even when they present arguments to support their claims they are usually nonsense if not outright lies. Example: Trump has a meeting with Putin and they claim this is proof of "collusion." Never mind that Trump needs to meet with foreign leaders to carry out his duty as leader of the country. The claim is nonsense!
After they have repeated the same slanderous accusations several thousand times people are beginning to realize that the accusations are false. Sometimes there is a total disconnect from Trumps statements and the accusation being applied to it. Example: Trump says "Baltimore is over run by rats," proves Trump is a racist. It only means Baltimore has a rat problem that the city officials are not doing anything to correct. According, to this tortured logic, the mayor of Baltimore must be a racist because she said the same thing!

Excellent point. It is amazing how many of my reasonable friends say they like Trump, but "he needs to stay off twitter" or "he needs to keep his mouth shut" -- but not realizing the genius of his well placed, strategic disruptive tweets. Almost every one of them start an avalanche that causes a myth to come tumbling down, and spearheaded more reclamation of lost social/moral ground for this country than any government or educational program ever could.

And for my 9th belief, you have to believe that you can accumulate debt forever without dire consequences. If this was even remotely a democrat notion, then please explain why Trump will be the first President to run up a $1 trillion annual deficit, other than Bush's Wall Street bailout, which left President Obama with a $1 trillion deficit for FY 2009, techically Bush Jr's last FY. Here's one to ponder champ.... you don't need to spend almost as much of the world on defense every year, particularly when you pay military contractors 50% more than the project costs or deserves. How is it that patriots in the defense industry have no problem ripping off their country.

Nice attempt at sounding intelligent.... of course anyone who actually reads it is dumber going forward. Here is a fact you might want to consider. You have what Trump describes as a booming economy, a tax cut he asserted would boost the economy... yet you have the first President in history to deliver a $1 trillion annual deficit, over twice as much as President Obama's last year. The only other $1 trillion annual deficit occurred when Bush Jr. bailed out the crooks on Wall Street. You gotta love people who rail against food stamps, but never discuss the crooks on Wall Street and the failings of capitalism that allowed it to happen. If any socialist country had the economic upheaval the US experienced in 2008 due to Wall Street, folks like you would rail against the evils of socialism. Of course you never speak much about Switzerland, Sweden, Denmark, Germany (Hybrid Socialism) etc.

"he’s (Trump) willing to expend political capital in fighting these stupidities and leading the way for others to do the same."
That may be Trump's greatest contribution to the Country, speaking truth to the liberal fools no matter how much they scream and deride him. They have used their control of propaganda media and the bureaucracy for decades to undermine legitimate opposition. No one dared to oppose them. Seeing the uncontrolled assault they have leveled against Trump, it is understandable. Further, is is almost astonishing that they have been unable to assemble any legitimate charges against him. The Left screams about how terrible he is without ANY proof. They claim we are fools to support him. Yet, Trump appears to be a very good man. Yup, a boisterous personality and enjoyer of women. Not everyone's cup of tea for personality but far from even being bad, let alone a monster.
He fights for the Country and for us. He fights using the law and precedent. He works to build win - win deals if people are anywhere near reasonable. Those trying to cheat find themselves in dire straights, as they deserve. Fair minded people appreciate his outstanding leadership.
