Personal History

I'm constantly being condemned for having a personal moral standard.  For example:

Question And Answer

What is a Human Being?  Ultimately it comes down to the exercise of moral judgment.

Those who don't exercise moral judgment can do anything.

"Judge, and prepare to be judged."

 -- Ayn Rand

"Judge not, lest you be judged."

-- Attributed to Jesus Christ 

When I was stationed at Fort Benning there were some things that were NEVER done.

My Cup Of Tea

With the extortion scandal that has been exposed in the opposite of progress [LINK HERE] the time has come again to consider the founding of a separate political party.

The apparent fact of the matter is that the scandal fully immerses both parties in both houses of Congress. The prior emphasis of The Tea Party has been to reform the Republican Party. But with the unfolding extortion scandal it appears that The Rot has fully effected the Grumpy Old Party to the core. One component of the scandal has been the illegal payment of family members out of campaign contributions. Even Ron Paul of Texas has transferred money from contributors to his daughters.

The effort to reform the GOP was chosen in part because the historic performance of new parties was dismal. But with the clear signs of The Rot within the GOP it now appears that we may be best off by starting with an effectively clean sheet of paper. The Tea Party will have to become a full service political party.

The path to freedom and the restoration of proper government will be longer and harder but I don't see another choice.

Today

Today is Yom HaShoah. The day to remember the Holocaust.

I should say more on this subject, but I will say this: Those who dehumanize others will only dehumanize themselves.

Update 0435 CST:

Fooldroolcup at Legal Insurrection commented:

If I were a zit-faced Anonymous hacker, I would be cowering under Mom’s bed with a well-founded fear that some muscly Israelis armed with Uzis would burst into my basement “lair” to spread my neurons and glions all over the wall.

Pour encourager les autres.

Seriously.

Given their nihilist ideology I would be okay with that.

Update 0810 CST:

The only way these cyber-idiots would ever come to understand what actually happened would be for them to go up the smokestack themselves.

And that would be too good for them.

Update Monday April 8, 0245 CST:

Harry Binswanger on his mailing list said:

Today on 40th Street near the NY State office building, I saw about a dozen black-coated (apparent) rabbis protesting against “Zionism” and in favor of the Palestinians! Now I know at least why this happened today. The sign I remember was: “Jewish suffering doesn't justify victimizing Palestinians.” Disgusting.

Yes. It is.

"Honorary Aryans," or "Honorary Amalekites." Your call.

The Rule Of The Outlaws

During the course of writing a novel I had a bad guy character state:

“Don’t be silly Madame Keller,” he said in a manner that was clearly speaking down to her, “we all know that laws are only made for the purpose of controlling the little people for the benefit of their betters.”

Under the Primacy of the State the function of law is to control the productive population for the benefit of the ruling parasites. The rulers, and their immediate servants, are not subject to those laws themselves.

David Gregory of NBC News, a statist propaganda organ, is a servant of the rulers. What in the former Soviet Union was called the Nomenklatura.

WASHINGTON (AP) — NBC journalist David Gregory won't face charges for displaying a high-capacity ammunition magazine on his "Meet the Press" news program last month, District of Columbia prosecutors announced Friday.

The city's Office of the Attorney General, which handles low-level crimes, said criminal charges wouldn't serve the public's best interests even though possession of the magazine — capable of holding up to 30 rounds of ammunition — was clearly against local gun laws.

The actual interest of the actual citizens is irrelevant. What matters is the whims of the rulers and those who willfully serve them.

Under the Rule of Law all real laws must be applied to all citizens equally. Such as the laws prohibiting homicide.

As our Socialist rulers and their willing servants regard themselves as exempt from compliance with the laws, on what grounds can they claim to be protected under them?

Now, what are your questions on this block of instruction?

Thought For The Day

I had thought that the villains in my science fiction novel project were a bit absurd. And then I read pages 38-39 of THE DIM HYPOTHESIS by Dr. Leonard Peikoff:

A philosophy professor at the Stevens Institute of Technology makes eloquently real the connection between nihilism and anti-integration. I quote from a letter from one of his students:

An anecdote from his own life... He said that he sat his 5 year old daughter down on his lap one day and asked "Where's Daddy?" She responded by pointing to him. He said. "No, that's Daddy's body. Where's Daddy?" She looked perplexed and then pointed to his head. He responded, "No, that's Daddy's head. Where's Daddy?" This conversation continued for some time until he had reduced his daughter to tears while she screamed, "Where's my Daddy? Where's my Daddy?" I dropped the course very soon after that...."

Over the course of writing this blog I've been accused of being Satanic. Of having my humanity surgically removed. And of being the embodiment of all evil on Earth. But this is simply sick. This so-called man effectively admitted to being a soulless being. And his daughter should have been removed from his custody as a result of this action.

I will have to finish reading THE DIM HYPOTHESIS before I resume writing.

A Letter To The Mayor Of Minneapolis

Your Honor,

Since I moved into the Parker Skyview building in early November I have been subjected to overwhelming noise emitted from the adjacent apartment. I have repeatedly called the police to intervene to no practical effect. As of Christmas Eve I was notified by the watch commander at the Second Precinct that they will no longer respond to my complaints about the noise issue.

Are we now living in a state of anarchy?

Yours respectfully,

Leslie Bates

Philosophical questions. More fun than a baseball bat to the head. (EVIL GRIN)

And some people still wonder why I still vote straight Republican.

Thought For The day

If you want to predict what will be said by the democratic Party and their media prostitutes, all you have to do is take any statement by an old school Nation Socialist, cross out the word "Jew" and write in the words "Gun Owner."

That's how depraved and predictable they have become.

A Suggestion

The mortal remains of the late Amy Winehouse (whose auditory output was never emitted from any radio station that I listen to) should be stuffed, mounted, and placed on display as an example of how not to live. Growing little girls should be horrified at the sight of what that appallingly stupid female did to herself. If anything the premature demise of this stupid tattooed skank should show a clear connection between aesthetic and moral standards, and why such standards are necessary.

Tattooing, especially on a female, is a form of mutilation. There is simply no excuse for it. Tattooing is simply ugly and is very much a clear indication that the person is not practicing reason as a way of life.

And do I need to rant on about drug use?

Yes, I'm being an insensitive bastard, live with it.
