I learned that from a corporate airline. Something about, “We know you have choices in airline travel today…”

COULDN’T BE BETTER
Re: Peter Ferrara’s Utopia:

Great article by Peter Ferrara. My comment:

Liberals will never allow any enclaves of freedom because liberals are essentially parasites who cannot live without host bodies. They are also tyrants who derive their perverted form of “joy” from telling other people what to do and say, namely, adopt liberal dogma. A country cannot live half-free and half-slave, as a well-known non-liberal once said. We are either going to save America as a free country or turn it over to our liberal uber-meisters. There’s no other choice.

The problem with the the Utopia solution is that the people from them will move out because of crime, high taxation, corruption, etc., then move into a nice state and then start trying to get all the laws that they had in their hell holes passed in their new home. “Californication” is a common name for it.

Some times when they move into a small town and try this crap they get corrected, but so many of them move into the mid-sized and large cities things start going to hell.
I don’t know what the solution is — unless a 5-year waiting period before they could become voting citizens of the new state, county, and town they moved to?

TERMINOLOGY
Re: R. Emmett Tyrrell, Jr.’s Bubbleheads and Dupes:

“Bubbleheads” are United States Submariners. They refer to themselves by that term which is a sign of respect by surface ship officers and sailors. This term has been used for decades. You can easily confirm this by calling the Pentagon and/or the Chief of Naval Operations.

There’s a snatch of dialog in one of the many “Peanuts” movies/TV specials. After Charlie Brown saves his friends from a dangerous situation, they say: 1: Am I dead? 2: Thanks to Charlie Brown. 3. I’m not dead? 4. No thanks to Charlie Brown.

George W. Bush is the Charlie Brown of the left, and will probably remain so long after he’s left office.
