The original "Clash of the Titans" film is still my favorite. The remake was watchable but it's tough to recreate the wonder of a classic film. My favorite part of the original was the scene where Perseus steals the eye from the Stygian Witches.
He uses the eye to barter for the information he needs to confront the Kraken. The mythical Stygian Witches, although they couldn't see in front of them without the eye, had the ability to see portions of the future.
Obviously, I do not have that ability, but it doesn't take three witches with mythical powers to see that there are some troubled waters ahead for liberty and freedom if we don't organize, vote, and fight back.
Note: I am not a glass-half-empty kind of guy, I'm just concerned and want to draw attention to the following items. Also, I recently penned a piece here at Conservative Review discussing a positive, conservative path forward which is right in front of us.Here are some troubling items that the conservative and libertarian movements need to watch with their collective eyes.
Colorado Single-Payer Healthcare
After the devastating failures of both the Obamacare exchanges and the Obamacare co-ops in the state of Colorado, one would think that far-left supporters of a heavy government footprint on our healthcare system would hang their heads in shame.
Mass cancellations, double-digit premium hikes, and Obamacare exchange chaos would, with a modicum of honest media attention, sink bureaucratic medicine for good. But the far-left never sees their inevitable policy failures as roadblocks.
They use their media allies to use the crises their unworkable policy "solutions" have created as invitations to double-down and introduce more of the government poison.
That is what is happening in Colorado where a group of far-left activists have succeeded in getting a single-payer healthcare proposal on the 2016 ballot even after the abysmal performance of Obamacare in the state. It's troubling how immune to reality the modern far-left has become.
A similar single-payer initiative was tried in the deep-blue state of Vermont and, after the eye-opening numbers came in, and the new, elevated, confiscatory tax-rates to pay for the program were announced, even the liberal governor decided to scrap the plan.
Hillary Clinton, Eligible to be the President, but not Eligible to Protect the President
During my twelve years in the Secret Service I had the pleasure of working with some very talented and dedicated men and women. But occasionally, we would hire a rotten egg.
When this happened, and the subpar agent inevitably did something wrong, he or she would lose security clearance. This was the preferred method to rid the Secret Service of below average performers, because having an active security clearance was a prerequisite for continued employment.
Upon losing it the agent would typically "resign," realizing he or she would be fired eventually for losing the clearance.
