WE NEED THIRD PARTIES, as I often point out here at Balladeer’s Blog. I woke up this morning to literally DOZENS of questions and comments from overseas readers asking me why the perpetual children called Democrats always seem to live in a bizarre parallel universe that does not match reality in any way.
One of the reasons is because the privileged white trash on the debate stage last night must try to appeal to the increasingly deranged Democrat base as more and more of us #WALKAWAY from that cesspool of insanity to become Independent Voters.
Polls are not the end-all and be-all of course, but to use just one example, Gallup got results saying that 42% of Americans reject BOTH the Democrats AND the clueless Republicans and identify as Independents. 29% of the respondents identified as Democrats and 27% identified as Republicans. Other polls get higher or lower percentages for each of those, but the trend has definitely been for more people identifying as Independent Voters than as members of our outdated and hopelessly corrupt major Parties.
Trump, a former Democrat like me, was never accused of racism until he ran against the race-baiting Democrats
De facto Third Party President Donald Trump has done more for the working class and the poor of all colors than any other president in my lifetime. Period. Privileged white trash like movie stars and the white-collar criminals called career politicians hate him for that. The snow-white faces on the debate stage last night lecturing the rest of us about diversity was surreal.
Their absurdly apocalyptic worldview is outrightly insulting given the pampered, bloated rich pig existence led by each and every one of those candidates.
So, for you overseas readers who asked me about this since you said the country you see never matches the insane gibberish spouted by hardcore Democrats, remember that Gallup Poll: 42% Independent, 29% Democrat and 27% Republican.
Because it’s Primary Season the Democrats last night were trying to attract the slobbering partisan psychopaths who believe the comic book level “good guys vs the bad guys” and “dark psychic forces” nonsense they vomited onto the debate stage. They know they can’t reach the rest of us aka adults who live in the real world and are capable of discussing our political differences without demonizing each other. Continue reading
While serving in the Tsar’s Imperial White Hussars (cavalry) and after seeing action in the Khivan Campaign, the future Russian Bill had a violent falling out with a superior officer. The exact nature of the conflict is not known and years later the Countess Telfrin would refer to it only as “a political affair.” 
Tatenbaum certainly looked and otherwise fit the part of the Old West Gambler better than the rougher outlaw he later became. He was described as a dandified dresser and sported expensive pistols. In addition he was well-spoken, well-educated and fluent in at least four languages, all of which would have accounted for his popularity with the ladies. His supposedly handsome face, curly blonde hair and moustache would have helped.

It’s been quite awhile since one of Balladeer’s Blog’s “Liberals and Conservatives and …” items, largely because of how increasingly outdated and irrelevant the labels Liberal and Conservative have become in recent years. 
Even the meaning of the word fascism comes from fasces, the ancient symbol involving a bundle of rods or sticks with an axe-head protruding from them. From there the axe-head was largely dropped and fascii (plural) from then on referred to the bundle of rods or sticks.
