Quote Of The Day

The engine of tyranny is a blind, indifferent juggernaut, insensible to reason, justice and equity, and so necessarily inimical to them. It matters not the good intentions of the hand that launches it into the affairs of men. Once started, it moves almost of its own volition, corrupting, consuming and destroying everything in its path. It is a fundamentally nihilistic phenomenon. Its power is both centripetal and centrifugal, on one hand drawing its potency from that which it can corrupt; on the other, crushing or flinging aside the incorruptible.

--Edward Cline

Quote Of The Day

"A fear of weapons is a sign of retarded sexual and emotional maturity."

-- Sigmund Freud

Quote Of The Day

 When I left high school I promised myself I would never subject a child of mine to public education.

Quote Of The Day

Conservatism is as much a respect for reality as a respect for tradition. But tradition summarizes a lot of reality. So conservative thinking must change as reality changes. There is no unchanging body of doctrine in conservatism. Conservatism is an attitude, a realistic attitude. Leftists, by contrast, believe whatever suits them, reality regardless.

– John Ray (Ph.d)

Quote Of The Day

"Plastic shredders? We used to dream of 'aving plastic shredders. When I were a lad, we 'ad to get oop at three o'clock in t'morning and work 27-hour day at secret police headquarters, rending dissidents with ordinary garden rake. But tell that to yer yoong war protestors today, and they won't believe you."

Contrary to popular belief, we science fiction writers don’t predict the future -- we try to prevent undesirable futures.

-- Sir Arthur C. Clarke 

When I spent two weeks working in a Republican Party fundraising call center the use of what our boss called the "effenheimer" was grounds for termination from employment and we had to exercise caution in the language we used in general.  One day I tacked up in my cubicle the following verse:

Yea though I travel in the Valley of Death, I shall fear no evil, for I'm the kind of person whose character and conduct may not be discussed in the call center.

Of course after two weeks of listening to a bunch of "family farmers" and elderly whine on and on about how they're entitled to a piece of the taxpayers money I was ready to start dropping some F-bombs myself.

 

Quote

Blacks were not enslaved because they were black but because they were available. Slavery has existed in the world for thousands of years. Whites enslaved other whites in Europe for centuries before the first black was brought to the Western hemisphere. Asians enslaved Europeans. Asians enslaved other Asians. Africans enslaved other Africans, and indeed even today in North Africa, blacks continue to enslave blacks.

– Thomas Sowell

“Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it”

Quote Of The Day

My wealth is spear and sword, the stout shield which protects my flesh; with this I plough, with this I reap, with this I tread the sweet wine of the grape, with this I am the entitled master of the serfs.

-- Cretan Warrior (Quoted by John Keegan in A HISTORY OF WARFARE, page 242)

The parasite basically views the productive population as a form of livestock.  Therefore anyone who objects to this status or otherwise resists the moral and legal primacy of the parasite is identified as a diseased animal and is dealt with as such.  Sometimes the whole herd is subjected to culling, as the Ukrainians were under Stalin, Lenin’s command to kill the Kulaks weren't aberrations, they're simply instances of the normal behavior of parasites in power.  Rational people will tolerate the long and drawn out appeals process for death penalty cases, as frustrating as it is, because they want to be certain that an innocent person won't be put to death.  The parasites, when they're in absolute power, simply don't care.  Rational people believe in liberty and justice.  Parasites on the other hand, don't care how high the pile of human corpses is as long as they are firmly seated on top.
