Question

Why do Leftists have such a problem with tyrannicide?

We must take into account the fact that the Left's ideal of society is one where the State controls all aspects of human life and where the refusal to submit to the will of the State is a punishable offense. Punishments which include the penalty of death.

In short, the Left seeks to establish a state of tyranny.

This may explain why they have a problem with those who practice tyrannicide.

Thought for the Day

Having a Democrat whine about someone else engaged in the sexual abuse of others, being corrupt, or having a dictatorial lust for power, is like Larry Flynt complaining about someone else being obscene.

This thought for the day is brought to you by the number three and the Minbari letter "Tri."

Mouth Dropping of the Day

The Bolshevik Broadcasting Collective brings us this bit of moral excrement:

The environmental costs of long-distance trade need to be properly taken into account... We must manage international trade in a way which is socially and environmentally sustainable, working towards global agreement on a raft of measures such as taxation on fuel and import tariffs designed to support home-grown businesses... This will help offset the environmental damage caused by ships like the Emma Maersk plying international waters filled with MP3 players and plastic toys.

-- Dr Caroline Lucas, Green Party MEP for South East England.

What, afraid that one of those container ships will bring in the rope that your ass will be hanged with?

Voluntary commerce is a distinctive part of the human mode of life. To oppose commerce is to oppose human life. And those who are part of the opposition to human life, which is an inherent part of being in a Green Party, are nothing less than enemies of Mankind.

And we have no obligation to debate the enemies of Mankind, our moral obligation is to identify them and destroy them. Totally.

Thought for the Day

One thing we have to watch out for in the coming election is the old graveyard vote. While Chicago, Illinois is most noted for its army of dead voters, the state of Massachusetts has the fourth oldest group of dead voters thus possibly explaining the continued presence of such trash as Ted Kennedy and John Kerry in the U.S. Senate.

(Florida's earliest graveyard constituency only speaks Spanish and is therefore ineligible, the Jamestown colony in Virginia never developed into a big city, and North Carolina's first settlement simply disappeared.)

Of course with a written language and civil records being a requirement for the registration of undead voters, we in the United States can only take a distant second place to the Mexican Republic, whose civil societies predates the European presence on this continent by centuries.

The dominance of dead voters, including Aztec Emperors, in Mexico may explain the only recently broken dominance of the PRI (Institutional Revolutionary Party) in Mexican elections.

Well, that's my civics lesson for the day.

MigueldowninMexico at Little Green Footballs has just informed me that Mexico uses a photo I.D. card system to prevent cheating in their elections.

When did they start doing that?

Democrats Being Democrats

Having grown up in Chicago, I see the resistance, mainly by the left to voter - ID's, as their fear that this would eliminate the Democratic Party machine tactic known as "vote early - vote often". With just a cards with printed names on them and very accomodating election judges, a group of people can travel from precinct to precinct all election day long and cast multiple votes under multiple names. And I'm not talking about things I've heard are done, I'm talking about things I've seen done with my own eyes. That is how the Chicago machine overcomes a strong downstate Republican vote almost every election. My parents, who were staunch party Democrats, used to brag about how they helped rig the vote in Chicago doing that.

I remember my dear late Mother being pissed the day somebody pulled some old ballot boxes out of Lake Michigan years ago when a pier was being replaced (which is where a lot of Nixon ballots apparently ended up on election night in 1960) cause she said they should have had sense enough to dump the stuff farther out where it would never be found. Boy were they unhappy when I grew up and became a conservative. I'm sort of the apostate in the family.

When my dad was in school in Chicago in 1976, he was offered $10 a precinct to ride one of those buses. He had 1.5 kids and my mom stayed home with us, but he didn't need the money that bad.

Still goes on to this day. Drive by any precinct polling place in Chicago this election and you will see some smarmy looking guy with bad breath and 3 days beard growth standing on the public sidewalk just outside the door. That will be the ward-heeler. He will have a pocket full of voters cards ready to hand out anytime you need one to vote - Democratic of course. He will also be keeping track of who has shown up to vote so far and who has not. You can literally be walking by, a vistor from out of town, and they will shove a voter card into your hand and push you towards the door. But you never hear of this from the Chicago newspapers like the Sun Times and the Tribune.

My question is: CAn we now do away with the polite fiction that the Democratic Party is a legitimate political faction and start treating it like the gang of traitors and thieves that it really is?

Think Of It As Idiocy In Action

Today is World Vegan Day.

It is an occasion when a bunch of basically stupid and useless folks can strut about and pretend to be morally superior to the rest of us. Actually they do it every day but today they get to be really hyper about it.

For example, did you know that humans use much less land and water if they eat crops directly rather than through the intermediary of an animal? This is because farmed animals consume much more protein than they produce: most of the protein from their vegetable feeds is used for the animals'’ bodily functions and not converted to meat, eggs or milk. More water and land is therefore needed to grow crops for farmed animals to eat, leading to deforestation, water scarcity, soil erosion and increased pesticide use.

Let's start with the fact that not all land used for pasture can be converted for grain or veggie production. Let's also note that a large part of what meat animals are fed, such as hay and shredded corn stalks, is waste material from food production for humans. The elimination of meat production would actually require an increase in the use of land for farming in order to make up for the deficit in food production.

In other words, the Vegan propagandists are engaging in mental inversion mode as usual.

And let's face it, a diet without meat is unbalanced. The vegans that I've met tend to resemble socialist labor camp inmates without the labor camp haircut. And they tend to do stupid things like voting for Democrats or neocommunist trash like the Green Party.

What are your questions on this block of instruction?

And Now For Something Completely Different

Is Fidel Castro Ruz existentially challenged? Who really knows? But now we present...

The Dead Dictator Sketch!


The cast:

MR. RANGEL, A CONGRESSMAN
Charles Rangel, A Well Known Friend Of Fidel

DAN RATHER, A SHOP OWNER
Dan Rather, Another Well Known Friend Of Fidel


The sketch:


A customer enters a pet shop pushing a large leather chair with a dead Fidel Castro in it.

Mr. Rangel: Hello, I wish to register a complaint.

(Mr. Rather does not respond.)

Mr. Rangel: Hello, Miss?

Dan Rather: What do you mean "miss"?

Mr. Rangel: I'm sorry, I have a cold. I wish to make a complaint!

Dan Rather: We're closing for lunch.

Mr. Rangel: Never mind that, sir. I wish to complain about this dictator which I purchased not half an hour ago from this very boutique.

Dan Rather: Oh yes, the, uh, the Norwegian Blue...What's, uh...What's wrong with him?

Mr. Rangel: I'll tell you what's wrong with him, sir. He's dead, that's what's wrong with him!

Dan Rather: No, no, he's uh,...he's resting.

Mr. Rangel: Look, sir, I know a dead dictator when I see one, and I'm looking at one right now.

Dan Rather: No, no, he's not dead, he's, he's resting! Remarkable dictator, the Norwegian Blue, isn't, it? Beautiful beard!

Mr. Rangel: He doesn’t look the slightest bit Norwegian. He's stone dead.

Dan Rather: Nononono, no, no! He's resting!

Mr. Rangel: All right then, if he's resting, I'll wake him up! (shouting at the chair) 'Hello, Fidel! I've got a lovely fresh capitalist enterprise for you to confiscate on if you show...

(Dan Rather hits the chair)

Dan Rather: There, he moved!

Mr. Rangel: No, he didn't, that was you hitting the chair!

Dan Rather: I never!!

Mr. Rangel: Yes, you did!

Dan Rather: I never, never did anything...

Mr. Rangel: (yelling and hitting the chair repeatedly) HELLO FIDEL!!!!! Testing! Testing! Testing! Testing! This is your nine o'clock alarm call!

(Takes Castro out of the chair and thumps his head on the counter. Stands him up and watches him fall to the floor.)

Mr. Rangel: Now that's what I call a dead dictator.

Dan Rather: No, no.....No, he's stunned!

Mr. Rangel: STUNNED?!?

Dan Rather: Yeah! You stunned him, just as he was waking up! Norwegian Blues stun easily, sir.

Mr. Rangel: Um...now look...now look, sir, I've definitely had enough of this. That dictator is definitely deceased, and when I purchased it not half an hour ago, you assured me that its total lack of movement was due to it being tired and shagged out following a prolonged speech.

Dan Rather: Well, he's...he's, ah...probably pining for the fjords.

Mr. Rangel: PINING for the FJORDS?!?!?!? What kind of talk is that?, look, why did he fall flat on his back the moment I got him home?

Dan Rather: The Norwegian Blue prefers keeping on it's back! Remarkable dictator, isn’t he, sir? Lovely beard!

Mr. Rangel: Look, I took the liberty of examining that dictator when I got him home, and I discovered the only reason that it had been sitting in his chair in the first place was that he had been NAILED there.

(pause)

Dan Rather: Well, of course he was nailed there! If I hadn't nailed him down, he would have stood up and gone VOOM! Feeweeweewee!

Mr. Rangel: "VOOM"?!? Sir, this man wouldn't "voom" if you put four million volts through him! He's fucking demised!

Dan Rather: No, no! He's pining!

Mr. Rangel: He's not pining! He’s passed on! This dictator is no more! He has ceased to be! He’s expired and gone to meet his maker! He’s a stiff! Bereft of life, he rests in peace! If you hadn't nailed him to the chair he'd be pushing up the daisies! His metabolic processes are now history! He’s off the twig! He’s kicked the bucket, He’s shuffled off his mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the fucking choir invisible!! THIS IS AN EX-Dictator!!

(pause)

Dan Rather: Well, I'd better replace him, then. (he takes a quick peek behind the counter) Sorry sir, I've had a look 'round the back of the shop, and uh, we're right out of dictators.

Mr. Rangel: I see. I see, I get the picture.

Dan Rather: I got a slug.

(pause)

Mr. Rangel: Tell me, does it talk?

Dan Rather: Nnnnot really.

Mr. Rangel: WELL IT'S HARDLY A FUCKING REPLACEMENT, IS IT?!!???!!?

Dan Rather: N-no, I guess not. (gets ashamed, looks at his feet)

Mr. Rangel: Well?

Dan Rather: It leaves a trail of blood.

Mr. Rangel: Yeah, all right.

So What Else Is New?

The limousine liberals, a bunch of folks who haven't quite grasped the fact that Karl Marx was full of it, are calling for a riot when their efforts to regain power over us fail.

That's right, they will take by force that which they could now obtain by consent. Or at least they will try.

After all, even without the armed forces and the constabulary in the mix, we on the Right still outgun, and out-martial-knowledge, the Left in all of its manefestations.

I'd say bring it on but I haven't been doing as much target practice as I should.

I also should load a few mags with gloves on. Wouldn't want to leave fingerprints on any spent casings at the scene of any incidents.
