Quote of the Day:.

From Gunner of No Quarters:

A lot of liberal anti-gunners have become pro-gun and are probably not happy with that fact.

You might note with all of the gun violence the Brady Center has not issues one single press release. Maybe even they see the people protecting themselves with firearms in the news and know they lost this battle.

Wait! Wait! One More!.

I’ve gotta print this one in toto:

This is the death of democracy in America. This is the end.

The left has been the target of incessant attacks by the right wing in America since the mid-1800’s or earlier. This is naked neo-Nazi fascism. This is full-blown racist genocide. This is tanks-in-the-street martial law. This is Michael Ledeen’s “creative destruction” and Grover Norquist’s infamous bathtub.

The left, long subject to military assaults, COINTELPRO frame jobs, false imprisonment, voter disenfranchisement, prisonmandering, and the like, is now in its final throes as captives locked in death camps to die of dehydration and starve to death at gunpoint. The Democratic Party, with the exception of fewer brave souls than you can count on one hand who have refused to cow in terror before the prospects of Wellstoning and anthraxing, is thoroughly infiltrated and/or intimidated into utter subjugation and submission to the genocidal Republican agenda. And the horrors in New Orleans are now the future of every “blue” city, state, or “stronghold” subject to Bush’s military occupation, for which he will doubtless invent pretexts if none present themselves easily enough, and concomitant genocidal campaigns against Democrats.

The fascist break happened long ago. The genocide in New Orleans is only the beginning of a larger, bolder campaign to exterminate us completely and impose overt martial law (as opposed to the increasing militarization of the police, which is de facto martial law anyway) over every “blue” area Bush feels the whim to point his “eliminationist rhetoric” at. The death squads are out in force in the streets of New Orleans. When the job is done there, pretexts will be invented for them to roam the streets of our home cities, the blue cities. The rank and file stormtroopers are already terrorizing us with chemical weapons like pepperspray and teargas. The death squads and death camps in New Orleans are the next step.

I have one and only one “positive message:” run for your lives. Get out of this country while you still can. Get out before Bush’s “final solution” to the “liberal question” is implemented where you live.

Yes! Please! Get OUT! Leave! Go to France, go to Spain, go to South America. Go to that peon’s paradise of Cuba! Just get the hell out of here! Because George Bush’s military death squads aren’t going to be the ones who want to kill you, we average citizens are. I swear to Odin, you people are too stupid to live.

What color is the sky on your planet, anyway?

Update, 9/5, to add this cartoon found at American Digest:

Holy Excrement, Batman, the Moonbats will be are Frothing!

I just found out that Chief Justice Rehnquist has died. So President Bush gets to appoint not one, but two Supreme Court justices, and in short order. The far Left is already wetting itself over the Roberts nomination.

While I no longer spend time at DemocraticUnderground.com (I feel like I need a shower afterward) I dropped by to see what the caring, compassionate Left had to say this morning about the death of the Chief Justice.

Of course, when Robert “Sheets” Byrd passes, no mention of his membership in the KKK will be made, I’m sure. More from this post, http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=102×1752437:

Guess we’d better turn over a bunch of rocks lickety-split and see what crawls out. – by PurityOfEssence

See why I say I feel like I need a shower? And why violence is becoming less and less abhorrent?

There’s one less racist breathing air I could be breathing tonight.

I would no more express my sympathies than I would to Hitler’s family, Frank Cherry’s family or David Duke’s family.
Rot in hell, Rehnquist. – by nothingshocksmeanymore

Yes, the opposition is all Nazis, all racists, all evil.

These people make me tired. And angry.

I think I’ll clean my Garand.

Remember On Guillotines and Gibbets?.

An essay I wrote back in December? Part of what it was about was the cockroach-like endurance of bad Leftist ideas:

If it is so blindingly obvious to many of us that the ideologies behind, for example, gun control and welfare are so fundamentally flawed, why are these ideologies not dead? Not only are they not dead, in many ways, still flourishing? Why is the demonstrably erroneous ideology of the Left still advanced by people who just want to keep turning up the power, with the resultant escalation of failure?

And I answered my question:

I submit, it is because the Left has never been significantly checked as it strives to spread its flawed ideology. Leftists occupy the majority of journalism positions, both as reporters and editors.

—

Leftists make up an overwhelming majority of educators and administrators in both primary and secondary education. Through these vectors of media and public education the Left has spread its ideology largely without any effective opposition for literally decades. Bear in mind also, I’m not attributing this occupation of media and education to some “vast Left-wing conspiracy.” It’s a natural outgrowth of a philosophy that builds unquestioning “true believers” who take their flawed ideology as gospel and are thereby inspired to evangelize. A fundamental tenet of Socialism is to proselytize the proletariat so that it recognizes the oppressive bourgeoisie and can then take steps to pull it down. The two places to best accomplish this are media and schools, so the evangelical migrate there, and steadily chip, chip, chip away at the proletariat, spreading the “hate the bourgeoisie” meme that produces women who tell mayors, in all seriousness, “It’s my job to have kids, Mr. Mayor, and your job to take care of them.”

Well I just came across a July 27 Theodore Dalrymple piece that illustrates my point, The Triumph of Reason? An excerpt:

In Australia recently, I shared a public platform with an educationist, who had won awards for social innovation in the field of education for disadvantaged minorities. I was looking forward to what she had to say.

I was soon in a towering rage, however. She uttered some of the most foolish cliches of radical education theory, now about 40 years old – theories that I had fondly thought were now behind us, such as the harmful effects upon the children of disadvantaged ethnic groups or families of an emphasis on education as learning, with particular reference to the damage done to their self-esteem by the dominant culture’s fetish about reading and writing.

—

This was all said with such smugness, with such an expression of beatific complacency and self-content, that I wanted to get up and strangle the innovator there and then. As a believer in the necessity of self-expression, she would no doubt have understood.

In Guillotines I wrote:

We’ve not had much success (at defeating bad ideas) because we’re not “true believers.” (M)ost of those of us who recognize the flawed ideology of the Left have to earn a living. The efforts we make in fighting them are on or own time and on our own dime. The Left is getting paid to evangelize, often on our tax dollars. We shine the light, but when it passes they come back out and keep on going. It’s tiring, soul-sapping, and we’re overwhelmed by the media and education vectors.

—

When (or if) the Left finally achieves unbridled control, it will continue in its cognitive dissonance, and keep turning up the power until guillotines are erected in public squares or mass starvation is seen again as a regrettable but necessary step towards Utopia.

Dalrymple:

Halfway through my own reply, however, I suddenly became bored. Why do I spend so much time arguing against such obvious rubbish, which should be both self-refuting and auto-satirizing the moment someone utters it? Why not just go and read a good book?

The problem is that nonsense can and does go by default. It wins the argument by sheer persistence, by inexhaustible re-iteration, by staying at the meeting when everyone else has gone home, by monomania, by boring people into submission and indifference. And the reward of monomania? Power.

It’s nice to know that we’re still on the same frequency, though I too am getting to the point where the idea of physical violence as a solution is getting to be less and less abhorrent.

From Ian Hamet:

Once, we were a nation of competence. We’ve become, I’m afraid, a nation of bureaucrats, middle-managers, and video game obsessives, with a few competent people holding it all together.
