Thoughts For The Day

Anyone who believes that there is no difference between Right and Wrong is wrong.

Peace is what happens when you run out of targets. 

H. Beam Piper once wrote that political revolutions occur in a nation because the ruling class becomes discredited.  The Republican Party has to a large degree discredited itself by their continued insistence on practicing politics as usual and their continued practice of making deals with the other side.  We're about to receive a hard lesson on political incompetence.  And contrary to what Asimov once wrote, violence will be the first thing that our rulers resort to.  I still remember Waco.

"Change" is a magic word that the material and spiritual parasites use to make themselves feel good about their desire to exercise control over the productive members of society.  The fact of reality is that those of us who are by choice or by default in the Conservative faction generally prefer to deal with other people on the basis of consent.  We generally don't object to a change in the material or social aspect of our lives as long as it is done by consent.  But The Left who presently style themselves as Progressives know that most of us won't consent to being leeched off by willful parasites.  Therefore they seek to "change" our society back to the barbaric structure of a lord/serf structure, with themselves holding the whip over the rest of us.

A totalitarian is a totalitarian.  It doesn't matter if the bullet in your head was placed there by a National Socialist, or a Communist.  What does matter is that you're the victim of someone who truly believed that you and other people existed to serve as tools and materials for the construction of their ideological fantasy and who also believed that those who don't submit are trash to be disposed of.  Every member of the founding leadership of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union was once in the custody of the Russian Police for their revolutionary activities.  They should have been put to death, but were instead imprisoned and eventually released.  Adolf Hitler was arrested and tried for his attempt to overthrow the State Government of Bavaria by force.  He should have been hanged for treason but was instead imprisoned and released.  Tens of millions of people died because persons in positions of authority didn't recognize the danger that these violent revolutionaries represented and failed to exercise the full powers available to them to prevent the great massacres of the Twentieth Century. 

It's very easy to predict what a self appointed opponent of Fascism will say.  Just take a mouth dropping of a National Socialist and replace the word Jew with the word Fascist.
