The Ranting Patriot

Increasing the distance between the [combatants]—whether by emphasizing their differences or by increasing the chain of responsibility between the aggressor and his victim allows for an increase in the degree of aggression. — Ben Shalit The Psychology of Conflict and Combat” In Lt. Col. David Grossman's book -   On Killing: The Psychological Cost of Learning to Kill in War and Society - he explains the further removed a combatant is from his enemy, the easier it is to attack and kill without emotion, without sympathy and most importantly, without remorse.   According to Lt. Col. Grossman, "t he enemy combatant as 'sub-human' is what psychologists call 'in-group bias.'  By devaluing those who are not of our 'tribe,' they are viewed as threats.  That bias is manipulated with propaganda and indoctrination, which motivates and justifies the 'tribes' hate and actions towards another clan."  In other words, dehumanizing the enemy places the atta...

Something has gone very wrong with this election, so now  it comes down to this...    " Texas Asks Supreme Court to Rule Election in 4 Battleground States Unconstitutional" The future of our long-standing and fiercely proud Republic is now in the capable hands of the most storied group of jurists in the world, the United States Supreme Court.  Upon its broad shoulders rests not only the outcome of this country's most important election but the sheer, ponderous weight of the integrity and strength of our Constitution and the tyranny it stands against.  In question is the "Election Clause" of the Constitution, which confers the power to regulate election rules to the state legislatures, and the state legislatures only.   Not the Governor, not the Secretary of State, not local officials or election judges.  In Pennsylvania, the lawsuit alleges "... Pennsylvania’s Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar unilaterally and without legislative approval modified ...

“It’s time to put away the harsh rhetoric. To lower the temperature. To see each other again. To listen to each other again. To make progress, we must stop treating our opponents as our enemy. We are not enemies. We are Americans...” - Joe Biden Whiskey. Tango. Foxtrot.   Are you kidding me? Joe Biden and the Progressive Socialist Traitors can bite me. Because I voted for President Trump - and no other reason - I and every other supporter who had the sheer audacity to vote for the man have been viciously, repeatedly, and relentlessly attacked as racist, misogynist, xenophobe,  homophobe, etc... for four straight years. We have been called ignorant, lazy, and stupid ( what Liberals really mean when they say "non-college-educated"), and most infamously, deplorable.  President Obama notoriously explained away Conservative American's frustrations with his socialist agenda by calling us "bitter," depicting us as clinging to our "guns, and religion" while ...

No one will - or should - trust the outcome of this election.  It's that simple, isn't it?  You will be forced to accept the outcome of the courts, but let's face it, you will forever doubt its veracity... and that, in a very small and nuanced way, says everything about Democrats and the Donald J. Trump Presidency. At this time, the election is still being counted, but those on the Left are floating on Cloud Nine!  Why? Because in their heart of hearts, they know the count will continue till Trump is defeated, and their nightmare, where Hillary Clinton lost to the loud, coarse, and uncouth Trump - the monkey wrench thrown into the Democratic Socialist machine - is finally over, and even as they suspect the truth, that the election is actually being stolen, they are not only fine with that but will celebrate the outcome... because the "ends justify the means," and the "ends" are ousting Trump at any cost. And if Trump should somehow win? Well, hell, we wi...

  We are on the precipice of the most important and contentious election day in this country since 1860.   With the violence approved support of the extreme and radical progressive-left, this country is on the verge of losing our Constitution, our freedoms, our values, our aspirations, our way of life, and most importantly, our future.  We are in the fight of our lives, a fight for the soul and moral compass of this 'great experiment in liberty.' and it's a fight we cannot lose. If you don't believe this, you are uninformed and clueless. Every Trump supporter must vote.  You cannot sit at home and watch from the sidelines.  You cannot come home from work and decide you are too tired to get to the polling station, that your one vote won't make a difference, that your single vote, your lone vote, is unimportant. You must vote! We need your vote, the down-ballot candidates need your vote, the House of Representatives needs your vote, the Senate needs your vote...

441. Odd number, 441. The number itself doesn't say much. Could be big, if compared to the number 1, could be small, if compared to 1,000,000. Could be tiny, if compared to 10,000,000. Or, it could be infinitesimal. in·fin·i·tes·i·mal /ˌinfinəˈtes(ə)m(ə)l/ adjective - extremely small. an indefinitely small quantity; a value approaching zero. So, let's say 441 compared not to 1, or 1,000,000 or even 10,000,000... lets compare it to 100,000,000! 44 ÷ 100,000,000 would equal 0.000004%. Would you agree that for all practical purposes, that would be infinitesimal? Of course, it is! Statistically speaking, it's damn near zero. Let's put that number 441 into perspective. Baseball players get roughly 500 at-bats a year. To arrive at 100,000,000 at-bats, a ballplayer would have to play for 200,000 years! If he had 441 hits over that span, he would only reach base once every 453 years! Can you imagine?!?! 162 games a year x 453 he would only reach base once every 7...
