From Article I, Section 9 of the United States Constitution:
No title of nobility shall be granted by the United States: and no person holding any office of profit or trust under them, shall, without the consent of the Congress, accept of any present, emolument, office, or title, of any kind whatever, from any king, prince, or foreign state.
Although no formal title of nobility has been formally granted to Homosexuals by the Federal Government, an effect of noble status now empowers members of that class. That of having a privilege that overrides the Constitutionally guaranteed Freedoms of Association and Religion.
The so-called Gay Rights, which are in fact a body of privileges, elevate Homosexuals to a superior legal status over non-Homosexuals and negate their rights. The superior legal status of Homosexuals allows them to override the rational judgement and conscience of the Citizens and Legal Residents of the United States.
The Homosexual Privilege also places the class in an adversarial position with respect to the Nation as a whole and in danger of retribution should our present crisis with respect to the current occupant of the White House turns into a civil war.
What are your questions on this block of instruction?

So Anyway
During my afternoon walk for exercise I saw the Ford ZX2 that I used to own on the street. Apparently someone bought it from the junkers I sold it to and replaced the alternator and battery. A repair that would have cost me a bit over a thousand dollars.
Okay.
Okay.
OH [BLEEP] !
A possible terrorist action.
According to The Daily Mail website two men dressed as woman attempted to enter the headquarters of the national Security Agency in Fort Meade, Maryland while driving a stolen SUV. They were stopped by a NSA Police officer and a firefight broke out. One of the apparent terrorists is dead and the other is wounded along with the NSA Police officer.
I'll try to check other sites for more information.
According to the Washington Times:
"The FBI says terrorism is not a suspected motive in a Monday morning shooting at the gate of the National Security Agency headquarters at Fort Meade."
Well if this isn't a terrorist action what is it? It's certainly not a sketch from Monty Python's Flying Circus.

Herrenvolk In Aktion
According to the Daily Mail on the last Monday a passenger was assaulted on a light-rail commuter train.
The assailant, who was Black, carried out the assault when the victim refused to give his opinion on the police shooting of Michael Brown.
This assault was Brownshirt behavior straight from National Socialist Germany.
This fact is the Michael Brown was not the innocent lad who gunned gun by evil white cops of Liberal belief but a full blown violent thug. The police officer who performed the deadly force action was properly doing his duty.
So what was Michael Brown really like?
Far from the innocent child depicted in Mainstream Media Michael Brown was a 6' 4" (200 cm) and 295 pound (134 Kg) thug who used his physical mass to intimidate his victims. There is a security camera video of Brown performing a strong arm robbery.
And while finding a proper record online has been difficult I did find this:
Michael Brown behaved as a predatory animal and was identified and dealt with as such. There is no question that he asked for it.
So why the fuss?
Our self-styled Progressive media and ruling class hate actual human life and leaped on this opportunity to attack the men who put their lives on the line every day to defend it. They also exploit the Black population to obtain and maintain political power. In order to do so they have encouraged Blacks in the United States to see themselves as a separate and wrongfully oppressed racial group.
But this was not a unique event. The National Socialists in Germany put forth the notion of a separate and superior racial identity for Germans. And with the separate racial identity came the notion that the rules for living with others did not apply to them.
Here in the United States we are witnessing the racial separation of the Black population and with it the ethical separation as well. That many Blacks are now behaving as Brownshirts with the support of the ruling class is not a surprise as they have adopted the racial doctrine of the National Socialists as their own.

A Reminder
"To send men to the firing squad Judicial proof is unnecessary. These procedures are an archaic bourgeois detail. This is a revolution and a revolutionary must become a cold killing machine motivated by pure hate."
--Che Guevara, Marxist Murderer
Those who dehumanize them themselves cannot claim protection under a human right.
Killing a Marxist is no more an act of murder than putting down a rabid dog or eliminating any other hazard to Human Life.

Here's the link.
How could anyone beleive that?

A Recycled Rant From 13 Years Ago
Inherent in all Socialist doctrines and public statements is the implicit premise that the non-socialist is a mindless or soulless animal without rights and should be treated as such by the ideal socialist state. If there is anyone who has a right to be offended at such public utterances it is the victims of Socialism.
Of course the Socialist Twit is going to be offended when the truth is spoken. Socialism is in practice the destruction of persons and entire societies as a whole. Socialist doctrines are the lies that the socialist must tell himself in order to avoid the self realization that he is in fact a thief and a murderer.
Of course the truth is going to hurt their feelings. So what?
A Socialist is not bothered when one of their number publicly incites a mob to murder elected officials and their families because said officials appear to be complying with the Constitution to which they are subject. They apparently see this as normal and acceptable behavior. But because the Socialist cannot--or will not--believe that there is a higher standard of personal and political behavior they will freak out every time they see a bunch of farmers get together for some target practice in fear that this is the mob that is coming after them.
In order to live each man require accurate information in order to make correct moral decisions. Valid knowledge is like food and oxygen, a necessary requirement of human life. Because the range of the senses of each individual is limited, men have through the practice of verbal (and later written) communication used each other as a means of extending the range of their own senses, and thus improving their own prospects for survival.
Societies that value knowledge will generally tend to be more economically and technologically advanced than those societies that devalue knowledge. Whenever a military confrontation occurs between Rational states and the Irrational, the Rational as a general rule will come out on top of the struggle.
If we treat our own right to life as sacred, then we must treat the Truth as nothing less than sacred. Those who demand that we ignore the Truth or would forcibly prevent us from learning the Truth should be treated as nothing less than Enemies of Mankind in General, to be dealt will as wolves are.
That's pretty much my rant for today.

THINK OF IT AS GERMAN PHILOSOPHY IN ACTION
The essence of the philosophical trend initiated by Kant and brought to fruition by Hegel could be summed up in three words: Reality Is Unreal.
This notion allows an individual to dismiss truths and believe falsehoods. For example Sandy Sheedy, a member of the Sacramento City Council, has publicly stated that it is possible to fire an unloaded gun.
No, seriously, she actually said it.
“There have been several people that have been shot by an unloaded gun.”
(You Tube Link)
In practical effect a truth is held to be untrue and the impossible is deemed to be possible.
How can there be a reasoned debate on any issue when the opposing party has clearly renounced reality?

Capitalism is NOT Imperialism!
Contrary to what the followers of Marx believe Communism and Imperialism are in fact systems of exploiting the productive by force and are thus opposed to Capitalism.

Military Coup Please
Barack Obama has again demonstrated that he does not understand the concept of proper function of government. According to Breitbart News the current occupant of the White House has called for mandatory participation in elections.
This is compulsion which is used to control livestock. This statement clearly shows how The Big Zero actually see us. Not as People living their lives in Freedom but as animals to be controlled by force.
Barack Obama must be removed from power now.

Fact Check
The absolute first thing taught in Infantry Basic Training at Fort Benning is the the maximum effective range of an excuse is zero.
The fact is that Islam denies the rights of all men and mandates violence against all who refuse to submit to the obviously false doctrine. All the Muslims in the so-call Palestinian territories should consider themselves fortunate that they aren't taken out and machine gunned because they are collectively asking for it.

Another Suggestion
This was a piece submitted to the original dead tree version of The Resister.
LET'S MAKE A DEAL?
After months (or more likely years) of fighting, the beltway brigands declare that they are seeking a negotiated settlement to the Second Civil War. After they make the usual noises about "power sharing" arrangements, etc., etc., the head of our delegation answers thus:
In effect, the enemy is offered conditional amnesty.
The point in favor of such a deal is that we cut our own losses in blood and treasure.
The points against are, firstly, while the deal is expedient, it is fundamentally unjust. The individuals responsible for the subjugation and slaughter of American citizens (the Waco massacre, etc.) are basically getting away scot-free.
The second point against it is that it is contrary to the nature of the beast we are facing. Although the deal allows the enemy to take their loot with them, plunder (on the part of the leadership) was not their primary goal, unrestrained power over us is. The apparent governing principle of (to name an example) Clinton's behavior in public office is L'Etat cest Moi, literally; "The State, that's Me". The leader is held to be synonymous with the state, opposition to malfeasance on the part of the leader is treated as anti-government hatred, in effect as nothing less than treason. Clinton's consistent answer to criticism of his actions has been to defame his victim's and his critics, and to demand silence and obedience regardless of the consequences to his subjects.
The statist leader refuses to be subject to any legal restraints, nor does he pay heed to any superior authority. His victims, those persons who are to be subjected to his whims must be silenced and disarmed. This is nothing new, the military arm, be it a sword, a pike or a firearm, is the symbol and instrument of political authority. The citizens of a free nation, armed and ready to defend their lives and liberties, have a commanding voice, which a politician may ignore only at his peril. Augustus Caesar understood this when he depoliticized the citizen body of the Roman Republic by replacing the citizen militia based army of the republic with a mercenary force loyal to himself.
If presented with a "take the money and run" deal, a power addict would very likely refuse to accept. I would not be surprised if Bill Clinton, following the example of such statist trash as Adolf Hitler and Salvador Allende, ultimately ends up taking the final exit while cowering in a final redoubt.
As much as each of us may prefer otherwise, the coming struggle is certain to be a long, bloody, fight to the death.

And the socialist is not bothered when a Politically Correct Moron like Alec Baldwin publicly incites a mob to murder elected officials and their families because said officials appear to be complying with the supreme law to which they are subject. The Socialist apparently sees this as normal and acceptable behavior. But because they cannot or will not believe that there is a higher standard of personal and political behavior they will freak out every time they see a bunch of farmers get together for some target practice because they fear this is the mob will come after them.
Give me a break.
Socialists will also object to any statement of fact and demand that we be silent.
No.
In order to live each man require accurate information in order to make correct moral decisions. Valid knowledge is like food and oxygen, a necessary requirement of human life. Because the range of the senses of each individual is limited men have through verbal and later written communication extended the range of their own senses. This effectively improves their own prospects for survival.

And on the second thought I still believe it.

Moron Of The Day
Mark Urbin found this bit of nonsense:
In effect this moron believes that a verifiable fact of reality is not real. The moron apparently also believes that his genetic and cultural background exempts him from responsibility for the harm he inflicts upon others. Well so did numerous members of the SS but that didn't stop us from hanging a bunch of them after the Liberation of Europe from National Socialism.
If this moron wants to act as an old school Nazi then we should be able to treat him as such.
What are your questions on this block of instruction?
UPDATE AT 1600:
Mark has linked to a comment on this idiocy:
"In the post you’re about to make, replace cis/white/hetero/male people with the Jews and if the result sounds like something that could be straight out of Mein Kampf, you should probably reconsider your social justice blogging habits."
Racial Polylogism is as insane for Blacks as it was for the so-called Aryans.

Were Hillary Clinton to actually win a Presidential Election we can be sure of two things. First she will be firmly in touch with her inner Stalin and second that there will be no subsequent Presidential Election. People with a bad case of power lust are fairly predictable that in that way.

Eleven years ago someone posting under the name of Ordog Johnson coined a new word:
It is not clear to them that they will ultimately lose, and drag a great numbers of muslims with them to their obliteration. Part of the parcel to defeat Islam would be to Carthagenize any of their major sites (and minor ones in the follow up). It will be bloody decade or so, with a lot of victims in either camp when number of muslims would be larger in order of magnitude, but after all is done, the Islam would be a footnote in history books (or files)

News
Meanwhile in the real world:
Nidal Hasan, the Army psychiatrist convicted in the November 2009 shooting rampage that left 13 dead and 31 wounded, was sentenced to death Wednesday by a military jury.
Prosecutors had sought the death penalty, saying Hasan's murderous rampage at the sprawling military base here left tragic and devastating loss for victims and loved ones.
Hasan, 42, was convicted last week on 13 counts of premeditated murder and 32 charges of attempted premeditated murder. He appeared expressionless upon hearing the verdict, which came less than two hours of deliberations.
The death sentence required a unanimous verdict by the jury of 13 military officers. At minimum, Hasan faced life imprisonment. Still, while Hasan could be the first serviceman executed by the military since 1961, the appellate process could take years.
Before an execution date is set, there will be automatic appeals at military courts for the Army and the armed forces, said Victor Hansen, a military law expert at the New England School of Law. Hasan could also ask the U.S. Supreme Court to review his case and file motions in federal court. Moreover, the president must eventually sign off on a military death sentence, which would be carried out by lethal injection.
Of course I fully expect the blank file in the White House to not sign off on the death sentence.
