ELECTION 2016 IS COMING.

The folks who are getting the free stuff don't like the folks who are paying for the free stuff, because the folks who are paying for the free stuff can no longer afford to pay for both the free stuff and their own stuff.

And the folks who are paying for the free stuff want the free stuff to stop.

And the folks who are getting the free stuff want even more free stuff on top of the free stuff they are already getting!

Now the people who are forcing the people who pay for the free stuff have told the people who are receiving the free stuff that the people who are paying for the free stuff are being mean, prejudiced, and racist.

So the people who are getting the free stuff have been convinced they need to hate the people who are paying for the free stuff by the people who are forcing some people to pay for their free stuff and giving them the free stuff in the first place.

We have let the free stuff giving go on for so long that there are now more people getting free stuff than paying for the free stuff.

Now understand this.

All great democracies have committed financial suicide somewhere between 200 and 250 years after being founded. The reason? The voters figured out they could vote themselves money from the treasury by electing people who promised to give them money from the treasury in exchange for electing them.

The United States officially became a Republic in 1776, 238 years ago. The number of people now getting free stuff outnumbers the people paying for the free stuff.

In 2012, they were 47%. Now they are dangerously nearing 51%.

THIS WOULD BE A PERFECT ANALOGY for the progressive worldview except for the fact that progressives believe that they've already evolved.

AMMO GRRRLL on customer service: An oxymoron, or what?

And she's absolutely right about the South, which is part of the reason why we're moving there soon.

Northerners: come to visit (if you must), but please don't stay!

BILLIONAIRE GEORGE SOROS warms up to coal as stock prices hit bottom.

One can't help but wonder if Soros' demonization of coal was an intentional act of stock manipulation for personal profit....

THE WEB knows all, and tells all.

And more seriously, snoops. I've already turned off automatic updates for Windows, and am seriously thinking of removing some already-installed updates (i.e., KB2952664, KB3035583, and KB2990214).

PROGRESSIVES ON ERADICATING POVERTY: kill off all the poor people.

It's the same approach they want to use to eradicate Alzheimer's.

HARD DATA (that is already being ignored by the left) on mass shooting incidents.

This was posted at PowerLine before the Roanoke murders yesterday.

HILLARY: can't do math. Or millenials.

WANTED: 'Presidential' candidate.

The complete cartoon is here.

FROM MY EMAIL: just when you thought you've seen everything.

No reason to stand on your feet waiting to get your welfare check. Just put your flip-flops next in line and go back and sit on your ass and play games on your iPhone.

Is this a great country or what?

AN OPEN LETTER to the Republican Party of Virginia:

So now I read that the Republican bureaucrats in Virginia and North Carolina are considering removing Trump from the primary ballot because he won't commit to the Republican party should he not be the candidate.

The Republican party already has a reputation as the Stupid party -- why are you insisting on proving it? Buy a clue. The Donald is leading because he is willing to stand up, confront the PC crowd, and tell them to sit down, shut up, and go play in the childrens' sandbox while adults debate the direction this great country will take.

Do you seriously think that Republicans should be apologizing for sins uncommitted to 'people' who would never consider voting for them in the first place? If you do, the Republican party deserves the appellation Stupid party.

Grow up. Grow a spine. And ovaries (see Carly Fiorina). Embrace Trump, emulate him, and engage America on issues, not on which Republican can be least offensive to those whiny progressives in their fantasy land of rainbows and unicorns.

Will they listen? Or remain the Stupid Party?

HILLARY CONDUCTS FIRST DEBATE ... with Black Lives Matter. I don't know whether it's a good sign or a bad sign, but what bothers me is that she believes in force - government force - to make the changes she desires. Watch starting at 1:10 in the video.

WHY DONALD TRUMP may become the Republican candidate for President of the United States:

They're big, they're brass, and he has a spine of steel. Of the current Republican candidates only Carly Fiorina has the (ovaries) to match.

DON'T CRY FOR ME ARGENTINA AMERICA:

AHEAD OF THE CURVE? Once, maybe, but not any more.

POPULAR MECHANICS: the (unofficial) state cars of America. None of my cars made the list....

GO HOME. Go home now.

HEARD ON WTOP RADIO: Without medical breakthroughs, dementia will double every 20 years.

Not to worry, the breakthrough has already happened: it's called ObamaCare. Dying early and often will 'cure' Alzheimer's.

IT WAS NECESSARY to destroy the environment in order to save it.

It worked in Viet Nam....

THE PATIENT DIED, but the doctor's doing just fine …
