Someone Else's Thought for the Day

Bowing our heads in sorrow and remembering the innocent Fallen is noble and necessary, but if—after we raise our heads and dry our tears--we don’t do something to stop the purveyors of evil, then what the flock is the point?

Oppose evil or at least get out of the way of those who are doing so. Is that too much to ask?

Actually, for the Left, it is.

According to many on the left, the people of a nation need a leader to think for them and to collectively direct their lives. In the view of the Left the Russians needed a big brother or father figure such as Stalin, the Chinese needed a Mao, the Koreans (all of them, not just the northerners) needed the father and son team of the Kim Dynasty (any sympathies the Left ever had for fellow socialists like the Austrian Corporal or the Loud Mouthed Italian fellow have been quietly dropped down the memory hole) and that we Americans now need a Kerry (Or in 2008 a Hillary) to guide and comfort us.

In the view of the Left the people of Iraq were grievously harmed when we removed their local version of Big Brother from power. Never mind the death and terror that their so-called leader, his sons, and their political apparatus rained down upon them. The people of Iraq, like all other ordinary people in the view of the Left, are hominid livestock who can’t live without the guidance of a shepherd.

This is, of course, a total fantasy.

The Shepherd Fantasy, as I am presently calling it, appears to be a psychological device that members of the left use to evade knowledge of, to mentally blank out, the fact that they are not really productive or otherwise useful members of a human society but are truly nothing more than a bunch of parasites and outright predators who are feeding off their betters.

As Ayn Rand once pointed out, they need us. We on the other hand, have absolutely no use for them.

So why won’t the Left get out of the way of those of us who fight evil in this world?

Because they know that sooner or later, we will properly identify them for what they are, and that we will eventually turn our guns upon them.
