Another sign of a EXTREMELY LOW VOTER TURNOUT ELECTION ON THE WAY, there is relatively no interest in the Dead Tree picks for Council. Sadly, they haven't provided much coverage to back up their selections . . . TKC has only made a handful of endorsements within the course of the blog but there's no arguing that a nod from The Star is now of little or no importance to an otherwise solid list of recommendations. The Star's endorsements for the Kansas City Council's at-large seats

ReplyDeleteGubbermint oF CKMO Mayoral Selfie Of The Day
Voting based on what the Star says to do is an endorsement for failure and higher taxes.
ReplyDeleteYour Mayor is obviously an idiot.
ReplyDeleteMandatory voting coming to a socialist country near you, soon.
ReplyDeleteSuperdave for the win!
ReplyDeleteThe Star is mesmerized with the faint memories of decades ago when downtown KCMO was the center of the metro region and 18th and Grand was where anyone who was anybody just had to go and get their blessing.
ReplyDeleteAll of KCMO amounts to only about 26% of the metro population these days and it will continue to shrink.
Who cares about these KCMO politicos and the mess they continually make?
What is these candidates opinion on getting behind and falling into lockstep to back local lunatics like this who want to blow $4 Billion to put coke and hamburger ads into your driving experience.

ReplyDeleteThe neo-fascist, quasi-religion of “Warmism”, followed by proponents of the ludicrous CAGW hypothesis, is quackery-meets-fundamentalism wrapped in post-normal demagoguery for those who despise God. Like most religions (and Warmism is just like most religions) all you need is belief and a good story, rooted in just enough historical fact-y-ness, to keep the gullible reading, believing and most importantly, paying.
ReplyDeleteIf you believe hard enough, and have an unshakeable faith in the words of your priests, you too can justify ignoring the massive gaps of truth, logic, reason, fact and scientific proof, upon which the dogma is undeniably based if only to yourself and your fellow travellers.
This is Creationists v Evolutionists Pt 2; this time though, it is the “deniers” who must have 100% of their fossil record ready for inspection, all day, every day, while the warmists support their case with faith, smear, the bitterest of invectives and very little else.
The CAGW myth is the perfect quasi-religious death cult for collectivists of all flavours; from the casual left-ish folk on the Clapham omnibus who distrust “organised” religion and think nebulous concepts like social justice, equality and fairness might not be too bad, despite not being fully aware of what they actually mean in practice, right up the lefty food chain to the committed hard core, lunatic fringe fanatic who will gladly help set fire to the world as long as they get to rule the cinders once the flames subside.
It ticks every single box just as it covers all the bases.
As much as anything, the left seek out policies and positions that make them feel better about themselves and superior to those they despise (i.e. anyone who disagrees with them). The Warmist religion allows them to do just this. It allows them to indulge their Marxist/socialist redistributive tendencies to the full. The pipeline of cash from poor people in rich countries to rich people in poor countries, in the name of Warmism, is likely to only benefit arms dealers and German car makers but this fact barely raises a flicker of concern in the Warmist and why should it? How much better can you make yourself feel than when you’ve just convinced yourself you are saving the world? Questions, especially those that may spark doubt, are to be avoided at all costs.
Ask any semi-literate subsistence farmer, in the developing-world, why the crops failed, chances are you will be told it was God’s will, you will be told the same thing should the crop be bountiful, or if his goat gives birth to twins or dies of disease. This is the fundamental and unshakeable truth and no amount of argument or reason can lay a glove upon it. The parallels with the pronouncements of the CAGW fantasists are obvious and just as deluded; if it’s cold – that’s a sign of global warming, if it’s warm – that too is a sign of global warming, if it’s a long cold winter, that’s just weather but if it’s a long hot summer THAT is climate change. God’s will, GIGO-coded and fudge-factored, biddable and compliant, finally subservient to the socialist redistributionist New World Order and its Warmist acolytes.
In the apocalyptic religion of Warmism, today’s particular cause (tactic), is nothing less than saving the entire world. Although the cause may have evolved from working practices and the closed shop, the villain, the embodiment of evil, the Warmist’s depiction of the Devil (every religion needs one by the way) betrays the cult’s Marxist/socialist/collectivist roots; the banker, the wealthy industrialist, the capitalist, the land owner, the church and the conservative remain constant as figures of hatred and envy, with the so-called “denier” replacing the heretic at the stake.
Well 9:45 I would like to know that and how they stand on other issues too. If only this city had a beacon of hope in journalism. If only there were some outlet that wasn't beholden to the interests at City Hall. A journalist with courage and committment.
ReplyDeleteIf we had the TKC Questionnaire you might know where they stand on the issues, instead we get TKC's month long debate on how the campaign is going to be nice, except it isnt. lolz
WHERE IS THE TKC QUESTIONNAIRE?!!??
Waiting for it to be signed, sealed, and delivered to the candidates.

Newspaper endorsements will soon pass into history. The internet enables access to more information so we can make up our own minds.
ReplyDelete12:11 Except when the internet doesn't have the information for us to access.
ReplyDeleteI.E. where can I go to find the candidates stances on a range of issues?
Obviously not TKC as promised.
