Bought my first house

I certainly aspire to a Kennedy-esque lifestyle

except for cheating on my wife

I party like the Rat Pack, my wife is just at the party with me

Sounds like you have a lot of hooch to bootleg over the Great Lakes ahead of you.

Prohibition was the Woke tyranny of its day, bootlegging in the defense of liberty is no vice

I backed Marc Emery and supported his enterprise before, during and after his jail sentence.
No argument here.

well I am a Burkean counterrevolutionary, to wit, all revolutions will end in catastrophe

that's why it's important to say War of Independence rather than American Revolution

because it wasn't a revolution

the British upset the apple cart, they went crazy, the American colonists were simply putting things back to how they had been

similar situation with these puritanical revolutions, be it Prohibition or Woke, it's not revolutionary to resist lunatics run amok

[Smitty-48]

the situation now actually reminds me of a pre War of Independence resistance

the Regulators of North Carolina who were crushed by the British in 1771

that was said to the be the spark that lit the fire to come

that was Blue Collars trying to rise up against the Banksters too

they didn't want a revolution, they were simply backs against a wall

the elites now are behaving exactly as the British did

they are inciting a revolution against the status quo, overthrowing liberty, then calling any who resist the "insurrectionists"

Is the premise that the U.S. is going to deploy missiles in Belarus and Russia won't let that happen? Or is the idea just to make Russia the bogeyman so more authoritarian control passes to wamen?

Russia's main adversary is not even America, the Russians are actually most concerned with deterring the Chinese

China & Russia have a frozen conflict border dispute dating all the way back to when the Czar stole Siberia from China

Bruh. I keep saying, all signs point to nope.

China & Russia are mortal enemies who are driven together in an alliance of convenience against America'

this was the case in the Cold War as well, and why Nixon went to China to end it
