Rant of the Day

Zombie over at Little Green Footballs quoted from a rant by Leftie twit Henry Rollins:

Meanwhile, over at Vanity Fair, Henry Rollins is on a roll:

"I have been reading material at conservative sites and the content contributors can’t seem to get over the fact that Britain is in love with president Obama and his wife, Michelle. There are stupid cartoons of Ms. Obama wanting to “fist bump” with Queen Elizabeth, assorted whining about the fuss P.M. Gordon Brown made over the president and the first lady. I think it really gets to these frustrated sub-literates that millions of people all over the world love Barack Obama. They remember clearly the last several years when their born-again Texan went abroad and how well all that went. Perhaps some of these mouth-breathers are reading this screed now. Hey, knuckle-dragger! Isn’t it a downer that president Obama will be received exceedingly well all over the world and perhaps help the entire planet become a more peaceful and prosperous sphere?"

Remember the days when Vanity Fair was a respectable publication?

Well I have to admit that Vanity Fair was never really on my reading list. And I will admit that English was not my favorite subject in high school. But I can say that I have more published articles on legal and moral issues in print (in THE RESISTER under the pseudonym of R. Hemmerding) than Die Grosse Null could even be bothered to contribute to the Harvard Law Review while he sat at the president's desk of it.

So in my specific case the name-calling engaged in by Rollins has no basis in reality. Furthermore, I have actually read on my own initiative the actual military and political history of the Western World and not the fantasies of frustrated tenured Marxists with delusions of mental and moral superiority.

I recognize as an unevadable fact of reality that as long as someone wishes to impose his will on another, or take something from another person by force, there will be violence. And as long as there are groups or nations that seek to impose their will on other groups or nations by force, there will be wars.

Peace, Freedom, and Security are in practical effect, the absence of predatory individuals, groups, and nations. That is to say, the absence of enemies.

(I've noticed that some people insist on not understanding this. But I digress.)

If Die Grosse Null were to actually carry out the policies that he advocates the result would not be peace, love, and happy chocolates on a national or worldwide scale, but simply more violence. With the possibility of Second Civil War here in the United States or a Third World War.

Henry Rollins' belief in his own mental and moral superiority is simply an illusion. Unfortunately it is an illusion that does not require the deliberate misuse of drugs to create.

What are your questions on this block of instruction?
