Think Of It As Idiocy In Action

A bunch of leftist morons (yes, I know that's redundant) want to occupy the White House on March 15th.

The Administration is Criminal and if they will not step down, we must storm in, show them how many of us do not accept a criminal government. How can we stand by and watch them kill our brothers, sisters, journalists and friends for their dollars?

We are calling on all Member Nations of the U.N., All Representatives and Justices in the World Court and International Criminal Courts, all soldiers and CIA agents and government officials who have been blackmailed by the dictators to incarcerate Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld. The Political Cooperative will put a new government in place that is comprised of people from Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch and all the organizations that have finally made us aware of the truth of the savage practices and illegal policies of our government in assassinating our own officials as well as people throughout the world who oppose their criminal activity.

My (lack of) God, what a bunch of freaking morons! Never mind the fact that it is their fellow leftists who have run up the hundred million person bodycount.

These bozoids apparently believe in magic. Like the idiots who burn flags, threw "frisbees for peace" during the Cold War, or banged on the bongo drums to effect the outcome of last election.

They apparently believe that physical possession of the magic object will somehow confer special powers to them. But in fact the White House is not a sacred shrine that confers political authority to those who possess it, it is simply the residence and workplace of the President of the United States.

The fact of the matter is that President Bush, or his constitutionally lawful successor Vice President Cheney, could conduct the business of government from a card table in a tent set up in a Kansas wheatfield.

But these Lenin-wannabes also want to repudiate our Constitution.

Those of us who served in the armed forces and have sworn to defend the Constitution have a special name for such morons: TARGETS.

Returning Fire

More muslims become good muslims in Nigeria:

ONITSHA, Nigeria (Reuters) - Christian youths burned the corpses of Muslims on Thursday on the streets of Onitsha in southeastern Nigeria, the city worst hit by religious riots that have killed at least 146 people across the country in five days.

Christian mobs, seeking revenge for the killings of Christians in the north, attacked Muslims with machetes, set fire to them, destroyed their houses and torched mosques in two days of violence in Onitsha, where 93 people died.

"We are very happy that this thing is happening so that the north will learn their lesson," said Anthony Umai, a motorcycle taxi rider, standing close to where Christian youths had piled up the corpses of 10 Muslims and were burning them.

Someone Else's Thought For The Day

Dr. John Ray on the historic appeal of National Socialism:

So why did they welcome it? It is simple. Socialism and nationalism have long been and long will be the two political ideas which have most emotional appeal to people. And Hitler offered both in one package. That package would be powerfully appealing to this day except for the way Hitler's follies discredited it.

Adolf Hitler and the National Socialist German Worker's Party are the crazy relatives that the present day Left goes to great effort to avoid talking about.

The pragmatic brand of socialist (as opposed to the doctrinaire Marxist) will strike the pose that will have the most appeal in the target audience's minds. Thus in Germany, where the army was traditionally held in the highest esteem, the NSDAP assumed in public the form of a substitute army (ersatzarmee) with a mass of clean-cut men in spiffy uniforms marching about in disciplined formations. In the United States, where the standing military was traditionally looked upon with suspicion if not ridicule, the Left rejected the militarist paradigm. Unfortunately (for them, not necessarily for us), they assumed the form of what decent people came to call dirty-stinking hippies, a mob of unwashed savages attired in cast-off or otherwise ridiculous clothing who moved about in a sloppy mass.

The American Left in its manifestation as the Anti-war Movement had in effect taken on the modern form of a barbarian horde. But given that Socialism is essentially barbarian brigandage in modernistic makeup, why should we be surprised?

Meanwhile...Across The Ocean

Somebody is fighting back:

February 22, 2006: Nigerian Christians are fighting back, in response to Moslem attacks over the Danish cartoons (that depicted the Prophet Mohammed in unflattering situations). In this case, Christian mobs went after Moslems and mosques, killing over a dozen Moslems and destroying over half a dozen mosques. Nigerian Christians have found that the only way to stop Moslem attacks, is to fight back. This usually works.

Cheers Greet Cheney at Appearance in Wyo.

"It's a wonderful experience to be greeted by such warmth by the leaders of our great state. It's especially true when you've had a very long week," Cheney told lawmakers in Cheyenne.

"Thankfully, Harry Whittington is on the mend and doing very well."

But now William F. Buckley, Jr. has something to say on the subject:

We all know what then happened. But the only thing that then happened that seemed to catch national attention was that the party drove not to the nearest newspaper, but to the hospital.

An account was filed with a local newspaper, and the doleful news came from the hospital that one pellet had entered the heart of the victim. There is little doubt but that he will survive. Mr. Cheney has said that what blame there is, is Cheney's. That detail, by the way is also not fully explored -- conceivably the victim had failed to identify his position when moving forward from the firing line established by hunters moving in parallel.

We can't celebrate a backlash until Mr. W. is back home and well. But here is one observer who predicts that Mr. W. will chuckle over the misadventure, unless, after years of friendship with Mr. Cheney, he only now discovers that he is arrogant, defiant, and that he uses vulgar language.

Something I Found

Disturbing information about THE MATRIX:

The Matrix is based on the 1968 East German play Wirklichkeit ist eine Illusion, also lassen Sie uns sprechen Rätsel, Eintragfaden-Polizei und Tanzkampf ("Reality is an Illusion, so Let Us Speak Riddles, Shoot Police and Dancefight"). The original live production ended with a stunning dance sequence (set to Wagner's Nightsong of the Gun Mechs) which the Wachowski brothers have set side in favor of a silly RoboCopesque sky-shooting fireworks display that resembles an inner-city New Year's Eve celebration from the year 2214.

Dammit! I try to avoid East German plays!

Something most folks don't realize is that the "grunge" look that was popular about a decade ago was actually invented by the German Communist playwright Bertholt Brecht. This comrade had a West German publisher, an Austrian passport, a Swiss bank account, and an East German theatre company with hot and cold running actresses.

Nice work if you can get it, I suppose.

So Anyway

While doing my morning net-surf I found this in a cinematography forum:

My father used to shoot Marxist Chinese propaganga, and I was shocked to see Farenheit 9/11 packed with the most basic techniques of Eisenstein and Griffith.

Being a Marxist for 25 years, I developed quite an appreciation for Soviet cinema. Tarkovsky is probably the best of the non-propaganda auters. Eisenstein was the best Marxist propagandist, while, all the way over in the U.S, D.W Griffith did a hell of a job for the anti-black, anti-semitic Klansmen propaganda with Birth of a Nation.

Propaganda probably alienates people, so i'll knock that off, but, short of going to Yale University, I have yet to see a good Propaganda course taught. I mention the science of propaganda because it is practically inseperable from Soviet film.

It's the second post in a discussion thread on Soviet and Russian films.


Personal note:

During the bi-weekly performance of THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW at the Riverview Theatre someone will raise the question, "how long does it take to read five fucking words?"

The normal callback for this question is, "five fucking minutes!"

I've taken to saying, "five fucking hours in the Soviet version!"

Someone Else's Thought For The Day

Robert Spencer on birds of a feather:

Both the Left and the mujahedin envision a totalitarian state that cleanses the world of evil by force, establishing a just society at the price of an unspecified number of dead. Both are advocates of a supremacist ideology that is immune to self-criticism and unable to tolerate criticism from others.

Is this really a surprise?

Both Islam and Marxism were concocted by the uberparasites of their times, Karl the First Trustifarian and the Big Moh'. Both doctrines must deny the Right to Life -- and thus the subsidiary Rights of Liberty, Property, Free Speech, Et Cetera -- of all persons. Both ideologies must do so in order to establish and maintain the reign of terror and death, in order to control and exploit the productive population, that their parasitic adherents need to sustain their otherwise useless lives. To accept the concept of the Right to Life that underlies the society of consent is for the Marxist and the Mullah the first step in an act of suicide.

(Note to the Anti-abortion activists: Look past the posture of the "Pro-choice" crowd. Why does the Left allow one so-called right when they deny all other rights? I suspect that in denying the start of the Right to Life at conception they are not only targeting the unborn child, they are also targeting YOU.)

So it should be no surprise that the Left is coming out in favor of silencing the critics of Islam. The enemy of their enemy is their friend.

Think Of It As Idiocy In Action

Someone over at the Huffington Post is having a paranoid fantasy:

The inscription noting the duration of Bush's presidential term doesn't read "2001-2009." It reads "2001-BLANK." In other words, the statue says he's going to be president from 2001 through infinity! Everyone knows that Bush is supposed to leave office in January of 2009. No mystery. No uncertainty. The 22nd Amendment makes it so. It's the law. No gray area.

Or is there?

I knew this would slip out somehow, but I never thought the leak would come from a statue. Is someone at the National Guard trying to warn us? Does President Bush plan to use his Executive authority under his wartime powers to cancel the 2008 election because a change in leadership here might embolden the terrorists? The statue says 'yes.'

And then he adds:

UPDATE: From the comments. This will make you lose sleep: Joint Resolution 24. Thanks to commenters Agape and Strangerina. I just wrote the sentence: "Thanks to commenters Agape and Strangerina." Blogging, I adore thee.

Or: "hey guys, lets repeal the 22nd Amendment!"

For those of you who are ignorant of history, which is to say most Democrats, the 22nd Amendment was a Republican response to FDR's violation of the custom established by President George Washington of the president serving only two terms.

Of course if it prevents Hillary Stalinova Clinton from ever being elected to the office of president then President Bush serving a third term would certainly be a good thing.

Republicanism Caused By Brain Disorder, Mutation

In a deformed Republican (capitalist) brain, areas that normally control life-sustaining processes (the Guilt Gland, the Envy Center, or the Everything for Free Lobe, etc.) are miniaturized - while other regions become bloated out of proportions (the Personal Responsibility Lobe, the Self-Interest Cluster, or the overdeveloped and inflexible Spinal Cord that is connected to the Absolute Morality Lobe).

Symptoms of a Republican brain mutation include delusional ideas that democracy is the best known form of government, that capitalism creates wealth, that American culture stems from Judeo-Christian tradition, that people all over the world desire liberty and prosperity, that Third World countries should be self-reliant, that moral standards are absolute and objective, that the individual supersedes the collective, that parents should teach children values and have a wide choice of schools, and similar incoherent ramblings that mimic the speech of the insane. Everyone knows that the complete opposite is true.

As of yet, there is no cure for this disorder, which transforms the entire brain into a regressive biological structure. Fearing that this ailment can be contagious, doctors recommend quarantine and a warning for the public.

Of course we all know the cure for Republicanism, the Lubyanka Breakfast*, right comrades?

It seems that parasites, especially the ones who engage in open crimes, tend to not think about how to actually create wealth. Rather, they tend to feel that it is sufficient to simply take what other people rightfully own.

Calls to act on Soviet crimes

SIXTEEN years after the fall of the Berlin Wall, the Council of Europe became the first international body to consider the crimes against humanity that were committed by the communist regimes of the Soviet Union and other states.

In a debate that relit the clash between Russia and Western European countries, the 43-nation council considered a report by a Swedish parliamentarian that also called on former communist states to teach the truth about their former regimes, erect memorials to the victims and create days of remembrance.

A resolution, adopted by a simple majority, referred to "individual and collective assassinations, death in concentration camps, starvation, deportation, torture, slave labour and other forms of mass physical terror."

I believe that we need to set aside May 1st as a day of rememrance for the victims of Communism.

A Blast From The Past

“In the seventh century of the Christian era, a wandering Arab of the lineage of Hagar [i.e., Muhammad], the Egyptian, combining the powers of transcendent genius, with the preternatural energy of a fanatic, and the fraudulent spirit of an impostor, proclaimed himself as a messenger from Heaven, and spread desolation and delusion over an extensive portion of the earth. Adopting from the sublime conception of the Mosaic law, the doctrine of one omnipotent God; he connected indissolubly with it, the audacious falsehood, that he was himself his prophet and apostle. Adopting from the new Revelation of Jesus, the faith and hope of immortal life, and of future retribution, he humbled it to the dust by adapting all the rewards and sanctions of his religion to the gratification of the sexual passion. He poisoned the sources of human felicity at the fountain, by degrading the condition of the female sex, and the allowance of polygamy; and he declared undistinguishing and exterminating war, as a part of his religion, against all the rest of mankind. THE ESSENCE OF HIS DOCTRINE WAS VIOLENCE AND LUST: TO EXALT THE BRUTAL OVER THE SPIRITUAL PART OF HUMAN NATURE (Adam's capital letters)….Between these two religions, thus contrasted in their characters, a war of twelve hundred years has already raged. The war is yet flagrant…While the merciless and dissolute dogmas of the false prophet shall furnish motives to human action, there can never be peace upon earth, and good will towards men.”

A former friend of mine has called me a "zombie nutcase."

Why?

Because I refused to waste an hour of my irreplaceable time to watch a video which purports to be:

A one hour analysis of 9/11 and how it is more likely than not that the government was actually behind the attacks.

What purpose would this video serve?

It would, if believed, terminally discredit the Bush administration and the War on Terror.

Who would benefit from the terminal discrediting of the Bush administration and the War on Terror?

Certainly not the Libertarians, and the Perot faction is for all practical purposes dead as Lenin. Who could possibly replace President Bush and the Republicans as the ruling party in the United States?

The Democrats, of course.

The problem with this is that the Democrats are a bunch of traitors, thieves, and murderers who don't care how high the pile of human bodies is as long as they are firmly seated on top, and thus are objectively unfit to hold any form of public office. And if this wasn't bad enough, as a former Army combat rifleman who refuses to be an mindlessly obedient drone in the socialist collective I would be looked upon by the Democrats as some form of vermin.

And given the explicitly hateful and Stalinist rhetoric coming from the Democrats, it would not be unreasonable to conclude that I could end up face down in an unmarked ditch outside of town were they to return to power.

Instead of watching the propaganda video, I could simply shoot myself and save a great amount of time and trouble.

I really don't have any myself. That the Left will persist in being mentally disconnected from reality is pretty much a no-brainer.

Cindy Sheehan will draw 10,000 people to a protest when she declares: "If Bush doesn't withdraw our troops – I'll set myself on fire." Unfortunately, 9900 of the visitors will bring gasoline and matches.

Actually, that's going to be 9899, if everyone else is going to be so generous then there's no point in myself showing up with petrol and matches.

And Then...

I stopped over at Powerline and saw this:

I just sent off the book proposal draft for the agent who is going to shop it around. In the chapter dedicated to the fake memos, I gave her a pass on stuff like the typos, fonts, etc., because you guys and others have already proved that. Instead I went against her new defense, repeated ad nauseam, and in bold italics in the above excerpt; that ALL the evidence supports the documents. I was running out of paper in tearing apart her own arguments and exposing glaring errors. One example: Twice in the 6 fakes one finds Bush's service number. Problem here for Mary is that these memos are in 1972 and 73. The Air Force stopped using service numbers on July 1, 1969, and switched over to social security numbers, 3 and 4 years prior. All of Bush's released records had the SSNo blacked out as required by law. But old service numbers from Bush's earlier documents were not redacted...

[The fabricator] grabbed the service numbers from released records, not realizing that they would never show up on a 72-73 document. Irony is, he put the anachronistic service numbers in the wrong format - the FG had to be a prefix, not a suffix, like FG 1234567...For a while we used to put the two letter code FG (means Air Guard; FR means Air Force Reserve, FV means active duty Air Force) as a suffix to the new SSNo ID, as in 987 65 4321FG. Later we dropped the two letter code entirely. [The fabricator's] personal experience was with the 987-65-4321 FV format (actually, the Army Guard used different codes), so when he grabbed the service number from files to add a hint of authenticity to the memos, he probably reverted to habit. Stupid, because if you look at Bush's real records, you will see the letters FG as a prefix - he couldn't even plagiarize correctly!

So we don't have to argue about magic typewriters then, eh?

Someone Else's Thought For The Day

Thomas Lifson on why the Left to going batshit crazy:

A sudden loss of status and influence is a profound shock to most people who have spent their lives aimed at the acquisition and enjoyment of socio-political standing. Relieved of the ability to shape the consciousness and behavior of others, a certain number unburden themselves of the inner restraints which kept them from openly voicing the condescension and scorn they have for those whom they regard as their social, intellectual, and moral inferiors.

And that's not all, read the entire piece here.

Leftists as a general rule are material and/or spiritual parasites. Because of this they need to feel that they are in control of the hosts that they feed from.

For Leftists, control is life. Without the apparent certainty that they are control of the productive population the Left's fear of their own perishing kicks in.

Not that there's anything wrong about that... (Evil Grin)

Quote of the Day

From Mark's Signature Quotes pages:

"I hate the Republicans and everything they stand for..."

-- DNC Chairman Howard Dean

That would be the Right of Life, followed by the subsidiary rights of Liberty and Property.

A right of the individual is a restraint upon the powers of government and society as a whole. Which is perfectly all right for those of us who are rational and productive. But to those who irrationally choose parasitism as their mode of existence an individual right is like staring at the muzzle of a shotgun that is aimed at their own heads.

Because a rational individual cannot be expected to willfully consent to having a parasite living continually at their expense, the parasite must resort to force and fraud in order to sustain its own life.

Thus the parasite tend to favor dictatorships, with a fully functional apparatus of censorship and repression, over free societies with governments that are accountable to the citizens.

To the parasite, power over the productive is life.

Any restraint on that power -- be it the freedom of speech and press, the rights to self defense and to bear arms, or the process of democratic election -- is a danger to the parasite's continued existence. Thus the parasite must oppose tyrranicide, the liberation of the oppressed peoples, and the establishment of free republics.

On the issue of violent crime it appears that the sympathies of parasites are not with the victims but are with the criminals, thus they publicly object to the execution of a quadruple murderer but care nothing about his victims.

How could any rational person not be disgusted by such antics?

Someone Else's Thought For The Day

Dr. John Ray has something to say about some self-styled philosophers:

And for me any philosophy that fails to give an account of mind, ethics, cause and self is quite simply failed philosophy. And a philosophy that denies that any of those things are real is therefore fit only to be ignored. As it happens, however, there are lots of failed philosophers about and they have somehow conned the taxpayers into paying them a lot of money. They call themselves "postmoderninsts" and, as far as one can make any sense at all of what they say, their essential credo seems to be "nothing is real". When I come across such garbage I tend to be overcome by the wish that I could hit the so-called philosophers over the head with a baseball bat and then say to them: "Don't worry. Nothing is real so I didn't really hit you over the head with a baseball bat. Just carry on as before while I get ready to hit you again". I think reality would be rapidly rediscovered under those circumstances.

As a former U.S. Army combat rifleman I personally prefer the butt-stroke to the head for that sort of thing.

Today in Pizzaland

Some bitch stiffed me on the tip with a check for the exact amount and then had the fucking nerve to call the store to complain about MY conduct.

Never mind the fact that the streets were covered with snow and ice.

And I didn't ask if she was a Democrat.

And for the second night in a row I just started screaming, just incoherent screaming, after returning home.

I had an idea for a screenplay about the pizza delivery business. In it there would be a scene where the main viewpoint character, a driver, returns to the store to find a nun neeling outside the entrance with her rosary in hands praying.

The driver asks the manager what the nun is doing out there.

"Praying for the souls of the damned."

"But why here?"

"Why do robbers rob banks? That's where the money is."

There, I feel better now.

Think Of It As Evolution In Action

From The Corner at NRO via The Instapundit:

CPT does not advocate the use of violent force to save lives of its workers should they be kidnapped, held hostage, or caught in the middle of a conflict situation.

Four members of CPT (Christian Peacemaker Teams) were kidnapped by terrorists in Iraq. But given that pacifists are at best essentially useless to Humanity in General, this would really not be an actual problem. After all the terrorists could have kidnapped and eventually murder four actually innocent people.

The CPT website had an interesting question at the head of its page:

What would happen if Christians devoted the same discipline and self-sacrifice to nonviolent peacemaking that armies devote to war?

The answer for those of us who live in the real world is that Christianity would effectively become extinct.

Now, what would the death toll of CPT volunteers in Iraq be if all of them were to have their throats cut by Allah's own death squad?

It would be an acceptable one.

Quote of the Day

The Guru has been kind enough to pass long this quote from President Theodore Roosevelt:

"In the first place we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the man's becoming in very fact an American, and nothing but an American ... There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag, and this excludes the red flag, which symbolizes all wars against liberty and civilization, just as much as it excludes any foreign flag of a nation to which we are hostile ... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language ... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."

The Guru also had this to say about a certain municipality:

It is an axiom that people get the government they deserve. This certainly seems true of San Francisco.

Rant of the Day

I'm posting this in the morning dead thread over at Little Green Footballs:

Gary Trudeau and Ted Rall represent respectively the high and low ends of the visual component of the "intellectual" branch of what I will henceforth call the Kool Kommie Klan.

We must remember that Socialism is essentially a Master/Slave ideology. If you pardon me for quoting the First Trustifarian: From each according to their ability, to each according to their needs. And for the socialists, as with the antebellum slaveholders, the needs of the masters will always be much greater than the needs of the slaves.

But now the socialist master class, both here in the United States and abroad, now see themselves being dispossessed of what according to their ideology is rightfully theirs. Control of their slaves and the products of slave labor. What should not be a surprise to us is that the response of the socialist master class and their supporters is in many ways similar to the actions of the antebellum slaveholder class and their supporters.

Those who reject the chains of the Left are subjected to public ridicule and slander by the self-styled intellectuals and subject to physical violence by the goon squad, with the ski-mask replacing the white sheet as the attire of choice.

If you will pardon me for the use of shocking language, to the master class of the Left, we who reject the chains of Socialism are (regardless of our actual race) no better than a bunch of "Uppity Niggers." It should be no surprise to us that they are treating us as such.

Think Of It As Socialism In Action

Or how not to run a manned space program:

The day after Lin Biao's death, Li Zhengjun and Xu Peigen were at Mount Zijinshan Observatory, Nanjing, to discuss construction of a special astronaut-training machine. Immediately thereafter, Unit 714 came under special scrutiny. '714' was a homonym for 'armed revolt'. The investigators concluded that it must be connected to the plotters in some way. Even though equipped with only one telephone, the security special case team decided that Unit 714 was the headquarters for the alleged coup d'etat. In retrospect it is obvious that the office could not have been connected with the alleged plot, since Mao Zedong and Zhou Enlai had signed the order to establish the office, but not Lin Biao. Such considerations did not deter the investigators and the leaders of the unit were detained for sustained interrogation.

Nevertheless the project was not cancelled and those that remained continued their work. The astronauts reported for training by November 1971. The immediate problem was that the budget was not in hand to fulfil the training plans. Major General Yang Guoyu and State Planning Committee Director Yu Qiuli were in charge of the material supply for the project. The spacecraft mock-up, housed in a large hall, was built of wood and cardboard. Astronaut food in toothpaste tubes was being produced, while the astronauts were supposed to undergo their strenuous training regime living only on steamed bread.

Qian Xuesen himself was unwilling to bring up the issue of provision of necessary funds with Zhou Enlai. Finally Yu Qiuli attended a meeting where Mao himself was presented with the need for additional funds. Mao reacted by blaming the project staff for inadequate moral resolve and declared that the nation must take care of terrestrial needs first. Space could come later. Faced with no budget, and pilots that had not been able to fly for months, the astronauts were released to return to their units. On May 13, 1972, the final staff member of Office 714 returned to his unit and China's first manned space project was officially wound up.

Apparently the initial design for a Chinese manned spacecraft would basically be a clone of the American Gemini system.

Sometimes it really helps when the enemy is being stupid.

Announcement

The Dumb Plumber has moved over to blogspot.

Why he calls himself a "dumb" plumber is something that is beyond logical understanding, for example:

Chris Ewen’s letter to the editor on Friday correctly points out that most of the ‘children’ killed by guns are actually, gang members, thugs, rapists, murderers and muggers, whose numbers shouldn’t be combined with innocent children to ‘fluff’ statistics. This is a very important observation and shouldn’t be taken lightly. Since children will always be killed by guns through accident, mishandling, and gross stupidity, these losses should be minimized by caring parents and not lawmakers. On the other hand, the aforementioned murderers, gangsters, etc., should be required to attend target practice, so that their intended victims will be sporting toe tags instead of filling the jails and hospitals at taxpayer expense, after the inevitable confrontations.

Hopefully the improved aim will severely reduce their numbers and ultimately improve the prospects for the rest of us.

Oh... sarcasm...

A Question

Dr. Sanity raises the following question about the Democrats:

What does it take to get serious about the fact that we are fighting for our survival as a civilization?

I would as a guess give the answer that the Democrats are fully well aware of the fact that we are fighting for the survival of civilization and that they are for all practical purposes on the opposite side.

Civilization in both the moral and economic aspects is based on the principle of consent. But since productive people cannot tolerate any form of sustained parasitism, those who seek to exist as parasites must destroy the society of consent and replace it with a political order where the parasites would enjoy a superior status over the productive.

One form of the rule of the parasites is called Islam, another form is called Socialism.

(And I should point out here that Socialism is toxic to humans whether it is practiced by the Communist Party of the Soviet Union or the National Socialist German Worker's Party. It doesn't matter if grape flavoring or orange flavoring is added to the toxic brew -- poison is poison.)

(And another thing: What part of "National Socialist German Worker's Party" do some university produced drones not understand?)

The good doctor goes on to say:

If I saw an individual behaving as our country's leaders in Congress are behaving right now, I would have to conclude that they are acutely suicidal and represent an imminent danger to all of us.

Absolutely God-damned right.

Somebody May Be Seeing The Fnords

In the comments section of Dr. Sanity's discussion on BDS, Ric Locke puts forth another possible factor in the possible origin of Bush Derangment Syndrome:

BDS sufferers are overwhelmingly members of the intelligentsia, at least as self-defined: academics, "artists", and the commentariat, and related wannabees. They have in common membership in a subculture that is, geographically, largely confined to cities and the Northeast, and tends strongly to be passed down in families.

George W. Bush had every opportunity to become one of them. His father is a member in good standing of that culture; his mother is a Pierce. Absent malign influences, a reasonable person could have looked at young George and predicted that he would grow up to be, for all practical purposes, John Kerry.

Instead he went off and actually joined the "red staters", complete with religiosity and drawl. Apostasy always causes heartburn in the Faithful -- the fear that, if it happened to him, it could happen to them or their descendants, too. How could such a thing happen? Shun him! Shun him!

This reinforces the evidence that Leftism is for all practical purposes a religion.

And Then She...

Ann Coulter writes about the quality of the courage of Edward R. Murrow while ripping George Clooney a new terminal orifice (with a Hat Tip to Hog On Ice):

As even liberal reviewers have noted, it was hardly an act of bravery for Edward R. Murrow to attack McCarthy. The New York Times was attacking McCarthy, The New York Post was attacking McCarthy and The Washington Post was attacking McCarthy. Every known news outlet was attacking McCarthy. McCarthy was in a pitched battle for his life, his career and the fate of the nation. Murrow merely jumped on the liberal bandwagon -- and rather late in the game. (You want bravery? Try sitting all the way through "Solaris.")

I own the DVD of Soderbergh's version of SOLARIS. I usually play it with the commentary track on because I found the conversation between Steven Soderbergh and Jim Cameron on the making of the movie to far more interesting than the film itself.

For real bravery in sitting through a movie one should try viewing the orginal Soviet version of SOLARIS in one sitting. Of course Andrei Tarkovski's version of SOLARIS was by Soviet standards a good film, having not been cut in any way by the Soviet censors. Of course being (Les affects a Russian accent here) a good Soviet film, it was not subject to the aesthetic and editorial standards that were common outside of the Soviet Union. My personal theory on the origin of the film was that Mosfilm Studios was short about two hours and forty minutes in the science fiction quota in the current Five-Year Plan and turned to Tarkovski to fill the gap:

"Comrades, we are short one-hundred and sixty-five minutes in our science fiction quota! What shall we do?"

"Have Tarkovski fill it for us."

"But Tarkovski makes really dense and boring films!"

"Comrades! We must make every effort to heroically fulfill the goals of the Five-Year Plan!"

Or something like that.

Granted, the cinematography (apart from the cheesy effects sequences) was well done and Miss (or I suppose at the time, comrade) Natalya Bondarchuk comes across as being more talented and visually interesting than any of the current generation of Hollywood glamdroids, the original Soviet version of SOLARIS was just too damned long. A properly edited version would more closely resemble the Soderbergh version, except that the actors would actually have talent and would lack any visible signs of a trip to the plastic surgeon. (Something about Natascha McElhone's lips just says collagen injection with big ugly letters, this is something that just ruins a movie for me.)

Thought for the Day

I just posted this thought in a comments section over at Political Yen/Yang on the nature of the Left:

They have an idea, it is to replace the society of social and economic consent that we live in with the social and economic primacy of the parasites over the productive. Or as their primary philosophical source (and founding trustifarian) put it, "from each according to their ability, to each according to their needs." And as there is no limit to the needs of the parasite masters there will be no limit on the burdens imposed on the productive slaves.

Poison is poison no matter how much grape flavoring one adds to it. They cannot avoid knowing that their ideal society is toxic to us and thus have no effective choice but to attack the opposition on trivial issues in order to head off a public examination of their basic ideological premises.

Political ideology is basically a means of giving the appearance of positive virtue to actions that are morally intolerable to the victims.

Thought for the Day

A comment I posted over at Political Yen/Yang concerning the lack of an effective response to Muslim rioters by the self-styled national government of France:

We have to remember that the Left (wherever it is) regards existing societies as an evil to demolished in order to make way for their perfect fantasy collective. Anyone, or any group, that acts in defense of the existing society is evil in the eyes of the Left.

Which is of course why the Left passionately hates the Police and the Armed Forces, both of whom have traditionally stood in the path of Holy Marxist Revolution and thus the establishment of the Holy Communist Society where all activities and relationships are dictated by the self-appointed revolutionary saviors and enforced by the compulsary power of the state.

The obvious corrolary is the Left appears to have a passionate love for the destroyers of civil society such as violent criminals and organized terrorists. They appear to especially found of those who murder police officers, such as Fidel Castro and Whatever Whatever Mumia. (No, I won't bother to look up the correct spelling.)

For a Leftist government (pardon the contradiction) to authorize the use of deadly force against any group of rioters would constitute a betrayal of its fundamental political premise, that civil society -- where economic and social relationships are based on consent -- is fit only for destruction.

Everybody's A Fucking Idiot!

Steve H, writing from the Holy City of Coral Gables, Florida writes about a certain propaganda musical:

I just saw an ad for the movie, Rent. I can't believe this botched abortion of a show is popular enough to become a movie. Have you seen it? I saw it a few years ago, on a trip to New York.

Here's the basic plot: there are a bunch of poorly defined characters living in the general area of Greenwich Village. One of them gets AIDS. The other characters are real sympathetic. Then another gets AIDS. Then another one. Then another one. Pretty soon, everyone except the audience is sick. Various characters die. There's a lot of singing. The show ends with no resolution, as if the playwright went out for coffee while writing the last act and never came back.

That covers it, pretty much. The message? I wasn't able to figure that out. I know they were trying to say, "AIDS is real bad." Point taken. I don't recall anyone taking the center of the stage and saying, "Hey, maybe we should stop screwing around and shooting up!"

Few things outside of the realm of Islam can be as disgusting as a bunch of overgrown spoiled brats indulging in narcisistic whining about the consequences of their own irrational behavior.

These fucking idiots complain that the United States government spends billions on munitions and delivery systems while the search for a cure to their pet disease goes unfunded.

I have some news for those fucking idiots, there is no fucking cure for fucking stupidity.

The national defense of the United States, whose citizens are for the most part decent, rational, and productive, is mandated by the Constitution. There is not one word in the Constitution that mentions, let alone mandates, that the Federal Government do anything to clean up the mess made by self-indulgent fucking idiots who act without even the pretense of rational foresight.

The fucking idiots chose the path of mindless pleasure and indulged in unrestrained sodomy and heroin use. In doing so the fucking idiots had dug their own graves. Well now the fucking idiots can now fucking well lay in them.

One has to wonder what psychoactive substance Mr. Pinter has ingested, and how to avoid being dosed with it ourselves.

I was going to do a rant which would speculate on how anyone, including Comrade Pinhead, could possibly believe that Liberation is Oppression or that Tyrannicide is Murder, and that using a portion of the national armed forces to knock over a couple of dictatorships is somehow more vile than totally mobilizing an entire nation in order to wage a total war of conquest and subjugation against an entire world.

Humberto Fontova at Capitalism Magazine puts Che Guevara in perspective:

Nazi Germany became the modern standard for political evil even before World War II. Yet in 1938, according to both William Shirer and John Toland, the Nazi regime held no more than 20,000 political prisoners. Political executions up to the time might have reached a couple thousand, and most of these were of renegade Nazis themselves during the indiscriminate butchery known as the "Night of the Long Knives." The famous Kristallnacht that horrified civilized opinion worldwide caused a grand total of 71 deaths. This in a nation of 70 million.

Cuba was a nation of 6.5 million in 1959. Within three months in power, Castro and Che had shamed the Nazi prewar incarceration and murder rate. One defector claims that Che signed 500 death warrants, another says over 600. Cuban journalist Luis Ortega, who knew Che as early as 1954, writes in his book "Yo Soy El Che!" that Guevara sent 1,897 men to the firing squad. In his book "Che Guevara: A Biography," Daniel James writes that Che himself admitted to ordering "several thousand" executions during the first few years of the Castro regime.
