Thoughts For The Day

You have to accept responsibility for your own life.  No one can live your life for you.

Arthur C. Clarke once described himself as "mildly cheerful."  Okay.

When political power's reduced, a lot of so called problems go away.  We have to look at concepts with skepticism.  Concepts that appear to be valid ideas (Marxism and Prohibition) may through direct experience turn out to be bad.  Instead of objectively observing the real world and thus learning how to become the master of it, progressives willfully ignore the facts of reality and stumble about in a surreal fog from error to error, and to ultimately stumble about from disaster to disaster.  Progressives openly state their desire to rule over the whole of Humanity and then proceed to conclusively demonstrate they’re totally unfit to do so.

Adolf Hitler by himself was impotent.  It was the the supporters of Hitler that made him powerful and lethal.

Anyone who believes that President Donald Trump is bad may not have been lied to, but that''s certainly the way to bet.

Revolutions (real revolutions, not Marxist ones) happen because the government fails to function.

The false prophet L. Ron Hubbard was a piece of excrement that took advantage of the First Amendment of our Constitution.  The Church Of Scientology was apparently upset about that the American public was more concerned about the loss of the Space Shuttle Challenger (and the seven people aboard) than the death of L. Ron Hubbard.

Political Correctness isn't correct.  Political Correctness is in fact wrong.
 
Some predators have created an academic culture that's now opposed to rational thought.  Falsehoods are now treated as facts and truths are held to be untrue.  And if a failing grade isn't sufficient to silence the critic then open force will do.  So what's to be done and how do we respond to the insanity?  If we were to respond to the predators as Stalin did to those who rightfully refused or were unable to obey him their academic and urban centers would be reduced to piles of smoking rubble and there would be mass graves from coast to coast.  It would be Sodom and Gomorrah all over again.  So when do we get Biblical on them?

There's no such thing as a balance of nature.  The Terrestrial Biosphere is a dynamic environment within a dynamic universe.  The average planetary temperature varied from tropical to almost frozen over long before Man ever appeared on the scene and will continue to do so long after Man has conquered the stars.  No amount of coercive force by the greens and their socialist allies will ever change those facts.

The redneck whose personal library consists only of The Bible is likely better educated than most Marxists.

President George Washington once said something on government: "Government is not reason; it is not eloquent; it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master.”

A dilemma:

Originally posted on Dec 8, 2003

Question: You're walking down a deserted street with your wife and two small children. Suddenly, a dangerous looking man with a huge knife comes around the corner, locks eyes with you, screams obscenities, raises the knife, and charges. You are carrying a Glock .45 and you are an expert shot.

You have mere seconds before he reaches you and your family. What do you do?

The conservative answer to the dilemma is stated in a single word. The liberal on the other hand wouldn't live long enough to complete the train of what we'll politely refer to as thought.

When I used to write for The Resister I wrotea feature called the "Moral Decision Game," in which the would-be patriot insurrectionist had to deal with an anticipated moral problem. The situation that I presented in the proposal (published as MDG#0) for the feature involved unarmed pro-socialist demonstrators blocking a choke point. (When I showed MDG#0 to my landlady she asked me how she was supposed to clean the blood and gunk off of the tank treads.)

My answer to anyone who would claim that shooting the assailant in the problem presented by the editors of Human Events is a violation of the right to life of the assailant is that the right to life is the right to live a human life. the life of a rationial and productive individual. It is not a right to behave as a subhuman animal.  A right is a concept and as such can only apply to those who understand (or in the case of children, can be expected to learn) the concepts and adhere to them. Those who choose to act like animals have surrendered any claim to any human right.

The Life Program

Anti-fracking protestors attach themselves to gas pumps in England.

What will they do next?

The fundamental premise of the Environmentalist or the Green Movement is that Human Life and thus Human Action is evil.   Although a mere handful of Green "thinkers" have come out for the complete extinction of Man many activists are content with simply striking a pose by physically interfering with rational men.  And some pro-communist politicians, who are already pushing the Death Program in their nations, have added to their anti-human postures by adopting Green positions.

The Life Program is easy to understand.  The Human Life is where persons with active rational minds are by right are free to use their knowledge to create real things of value for themselves in the real world.  Real Governments are established to protect people on the Life Program.

The Death Program is the exact opposite.  But being elected on the Death Program is effectively impossible.  As an alternative advantage is taken of those who have been taught the doctrine of Altruism.  That a person exists to be used by others without their consent.

Can there be compromise with The Death Program?

No.

Ayn Rand answered this question by stating that to mix food and poison always results in poisoning.

Any questions?
