Things don't go wrong and break your heart so
you can become bitter and give up.
They happen to break you down and build you up so
you can be all that you were intended to be.
Samuel Johnson
RIP, Justice Antonin Scalia

It's amusing to see Bernie Sanders try to explain the concept of his being a democratic socialist (vs a social democrat, like a progressive)— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 13, 2016
A social democrat, like Obama or Clinton, believes in political democracy, reform of capitalism through regulation, and a welfare system.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 13, 2016
A democratic socialist is distinguished from a state/authoritarian socialist through a veneer of political democracy.He rejects capitalism.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 13, 2016
A more inclusive variant of socialism is not an improvement over capitalism. It still enslaves the one to the many and limits the market.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 13, 2016
If Donald Trump can't win Ralph Cramden's vote, whose can he win? https://t.co/uqCFk15Dca— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 13, 2016
I think Ted Nugent got scratched from a Hitler cat descendant https://t.co/N9dd8PiAuZ— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 13, 2016
Econ 101 includes the formula GDP=C+I+G+(X-M).Holding C+I+G constant,a trade deficit reduces GDP:dubious assumption. https://t.co/02EPlcfe6s— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 13, 2016
Given roughly 320M Americans, Donald Trump's campaign is largely based on 11M immigrants. This is Trump's version of the 1%.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 13, 2016
Immigration restrictionists and trade protectionists hypocritically benefit from open state borders and interstate commerce.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 13, 2016
A legitimate exercise of Congress' interstate commerce authority is to waive anti-competitive state policies and mandates, e.g., insurance.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 13, 2016
I don't have an issue with working around special-interest restrictions imposed by any level of government. Presumption should be liberty.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 13, 2016
We need a 12-step plan for the spendaholics in Congress and the White House. https://t.co/hrx55gobIj— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 13, 2016
Trump is ignorant about China: a cratering stock market, a falling currency, capital flight, zombie banks, overcapacity, slumping growth.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 13, 2016
When Trump attacks trade, he is declaring war on the American consumer and on American exporters and their workers: recipe for recession.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 13, 2016
Trump's attack on Pope Francis is typical anti-Catholic rubbish. The failed War on Drugs attracts Mexican drug lords.https://t.co/yrDY8Oozg9— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 13, 2016
Trump's War on Migrants, including the deportation of 11M,splitting up families, is opposed by evangelicals as well. https://t.co/ROa3HN7ijW— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 13, 2016
Donald Trump's professed Christianity is cynical. His migrant policy is contrary to the Gospels, e.g., Luke 10:25-37; Mark 16:15.— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 13, 2016
George Washington the EntrepreneurRIP, Justice Scalia, one of the greatest SCOTUS jurists in the history of the United States. My thoughts and prayers to his surviving family— Ronald Guillemette (@raguillem) February 14, 2016
