“Mexicans have largely forestalled the potential American influx by keeping Mexico cruddy. Their inept infrastructure, pollution, noise, and high accident rates have gotten across the message that while Mexico is an okay place to visit, you wouldn’t want to live there.”

I read this and couldn’t help thinking of the rise of the Mule in Isaac Asimov’s book ‘Foundation and Empire’. The Mule wasn’t predicted by Hari Seldon in the book and the pundits and pollsters didn’t predict Trump. Panic ensued in the book and now in real life.

“Six months from now, being #nevertrump is going to be the mark of Cain, regardless of the election outcome. If Trump loses conservatives will blame these traitors for the defeat. If Trump wins, the #nevertrump loons will be packed off to the labor camps. Well, we can dream.”

“The duty of the “night-watchman state of classical-liberal theory” is primarily to its own. The classical liberal government’s duty is to its own citizens, first.”

“At the end of the day, all these modern “decaf denominations” which have really done away with “intolerance” and “zealotry” result in a society were nobody gives a damn anymore, a society where the anti-spirituality of the ethos YOLO and DILLIGAF provide the basis for endless consumerism and general stupidification. This is the kind of anti-religion which the New World Order needs – a religion which would unite all of mankind into a single, vapid, shapeless mass serving the NWO and its 1% leaders by consuming, obeying and never asking a question, especially about what is or is not true. This is why the powers that be and the media put such an effort into promoting these “official” religions and why they constantly fawn over their leaders.”

“Generally speaking, objective designations have no place in the postmodern university. They are intolerant and therefore should not be tolerated. We should take a stand by refusing to stand for them. And we should promote our diversity with a single unifying voice. Unanimity in defense of diversity should be our highest priority.”

“The other aspect of this is they love seeing honkies voting. I walked into the polling place and the nice black ladies lit up like I was a long lost relative. At some level, they sense that the presence of the honky is a good sign. We’re the canary in the coal mine. When the honky leaves, your neighborhood is forever lost. Seeing me in the neighborhood and taking the time to vote means there’s still some hope for the place.”
Incidentally, a friend of mine came up with a wonderful scenario for the first debate against Hillary. (In his and my fantasy, Cruz has managed to win the convention. This fantasy would work for Trump, but less well than for Cruz, because Trump is also up to his neck in that swampy intersection between politics and business as usual.)
Here’s the fantasy:Cruz walks out on the stage and announces, “I do not understand why this woman is standing there. Solely on the evidence available, we know that she’s broken myriad very serious federal laws and that she’s substantially harmed national security. In a just nation, she would be indicted and, perhaps, even on her way to prison by now. Instead, we’ve become a nation with two sets of laws — one, a harsh one, for ordinary Americans; and another one, a disgracefully lax one, for those politically connected to the ruling Democrat party. I can tell you here and now that, in a Cruz administration, the law will apply equally to all Americans.”
“The paradox of the individualistic society is that it can only exist if individuals embrace virtues that are greater than their own needs and whims. A society where each individual acts as a little tyrant, pursuing his desires with total selfishness at the expense of everyone else becomes collectivist as the little tyrants turn to a series of big tyrants to get what they want no matter who gets hurt by it.”
