Today’s national socialists and their Untermensch

By

Today’s young [and old] national socialist Democrat resisting indivisibles are quick to call people who disagree with them Nazis. Meanwhile, they’ve cut off reasonable feedback from family and friends through ridicule and scorn, and one doubts they’ll ever escape or grow out of the Leftist cult. The worldview inside their self-imposed cult blinders, riven by identity and class divisions, misery, envy, hate, and retribution, is immune from critical analysis. They don’t want to improve conditions for all mankind. They want to take what they think is coming to them.

The lynchpin for the whole syndrome seems to be killing babies – believing that it makes women’s lives better to exercise that sordid tenant of social justice. But abortion sets the bar high for abominations against fellow mankind. All manner of imposition, force, militancy, redistribution, regulation, and yes, retribution, fall well within that standard. On that scale, any force less than termination becomes a reasonable method for the achievement of utopian social justice.

And if human nature weren’t at the bottom of it all, motivating us to do what we do, to create what wealth we can create, to protect the fruits of our labors from theft by others as we must, the Left’s utopia could actually work.

But human nature is our nature, and no amount of Leftist redefinition of that nature can change it. The Left’s struggle to change human nature will always fail. Calling a baby a fetus won’t somehow undo the baby.

Anyone who doubts this can try the following: Rename your hand “anvilus.” Believe it! Now, smash your anvilus with a hammer.

Changing the label for something, or some beings, does not change their nature. It’s been tried before: See Untermensch

Vibrant young people, so intent on changing human nature to serve an unworkable utopian vision, spend gobs of good energy chasing after bad ideas. They deal out insults and rage like Halloween candy when challenged. They cut themselves off from reality feedback by friends and family outside of the cult from whom they might learn and recover sanity.

On the eve of this election, Trump and the Senate did what they could to set conditions to reasonably consider the mess of adjudicated social policies tearing the country apart.

Meanwhile, Obama and the Left aim to take back control to continue their wave of destruction because it makes them feel good about their good intentions. Haven’t we had enough of the Left’s good intentions?

From the perspective of today’s unborn untermensch, those intentions became genocide. Thankfully, the remainder of the Left’s policies, while disastrous, expensive and unworkable, are at least not so deadly.

Dreams on MLK day

By

On this MLK holiday, I have dreams too:

. . .that another more violent, more outrageous, expression of Leftist or Islamic rage will not happen.

. . .that the Left will learn the history of German national socialism’s policy details, and how most modern Leftist demands of government have ancestry in national socialist programs, tried and failed, almost a century ago.

. . .that the Left will realize that national socialism and communism are, in proven effect, indistinguishable totalitarian systems, and that both inexorably lead to mass slaughter of their own citizens.

. . .that the Left will learn that our American constitutional system is based on volitional consent, and that militancy and the projection of force are repugnant to our value system and our way of life.

. . .that the totalitarian Left will end its marriage of convenience with political Islam.

. . .that civilization will return to America and render the hardening of our society, infrastructure, law enforcement, and systems that became necessary to prevent random political, religious and criminal harm, obsolete.

With due respect to the memory of MLK, we have bigger problems to dream about solutions for than race.

“Hong Kong’s pursuit of democracy has entered a crucial stage. After almost 18 months of heated debate, the long-awaited reform package for the chief executive election in 2017 was finally unveiled yesterday. The details, unsurprisingly, dovetail with what Beijing had already decided last August. Imperfect as it is, the proposal is still a step forward.

The outlook, though, remains gloomy at this stage, despite efforts by the government to make the contest more competitive. As many as 10 hopefuls will be allowed to come forward for consideration by the future nominating committee under a threshold lower than the existing one for the chief executive race. But as mandated by Beijing, only two or three candidates who secure at least 50 per cent support from the committee at the second stage will advance to a popular vote.”

Sounds pretty much like Colorado’s caucus system, but the Chinese call it communism.

Hey Obama, It’s All Been Done.

“In the long period of rankling unrest and rising discontent preceding the Revolution all sorts of schemes were worked up for the establishment of a new social order and a new method of government. The ends proposed by the reformers varied greatly, but the means were always the same. They wished to make use of the central power, as it stood, for shattering the whole social structure.and rebuilding it on lines that seemed to them desirable. For, to their thinking, only the central authority could bring this “ideal State” into being, and there should be no limit to its might, as there was none to its right. The one thing needed was to persuade it to exercise its power in the right direction.
. . .
Such notions were not confined. to books; they had taken root in people’s minds and were implicit in their ways of living; in fact, they entered into the very texture of everyday life throughout the country. It never occurred to anyone that any large-scale enterprise could be put through successfully without the intervention of the State.
. . .
To the mind of the great majority of people only the government was capable of maintaining order in the land. The populace had a salutary dread of the mounted police, and of them alone, while the landed proprietors regarded them as the only force in which they could feel some confidence. The mounted policeman was, in fact, the embodiment of law and order, not merely its chief defender. “No one,” we read in the minutes of the Provincial Assembly of Guienne, “can have failed to notice how the mere sight of a mounted policeman is enough to bring to heel even the most truculent disturbers of the peace.” For this reason every man of property wanted to have a detachment of mounted police posted at his door, and the records of the intendancies are full of such requests. No one seemed to have had the faintest inkling that the protector might one day become the master.”

“No change is permitted”

By

“It takes people putting their thoughts and ideas together to actually accomplish something. These ideas must take into consideration the reality of the situations and the means to correct the problems.” Jerry Bishop, 6-11-14, The Prairie Times

Jerry wrote these words in a lead editorial where he also took exception to being labeled a leftist. Well if the shoe fits Jerry, you may as well put it on and lace it up. Look at the rest of the authors Jerry printed in this same Viewpoint edition of his fishwrap:

Paul Crisan, notorious planner, eco-green anti-business zoner, and leftist.
Robert Thomason, Democrat Party official, notorious leftist.
Jill Duvall, Democrat Party official, notorious leftist. (2 articles)
Anne Johnson, advises Republicans to “vote outside the party.”
Susan Shick, Democrat Party official, notorious leftist. (2 articles)
Name Withheld, advocates for totalitarian planning control.
Kelly Dore, “government’s role is to work with people to make their lives better.”
John Dorman, “commissioners have to manage the business of the county.”

Non-leftist viewpoints: None.

Not an individualist in the bunch, including Jerry. Not a hint of recognition in the whole lot of them that it’s the private sector who create wealth, provide jobs, and solve problems. These people share an obsession with all things collective and governmental.

Now let’s face it, government is the 900 lb. gorilla in the living room of Elbert County. There is no substantial private sector here so there’s little else to talk about in a local newspaper besides government. Government is the largest employer by far with the largest payroll in Elbert County.

It doesn’t matter which party controls here, government’s been used by all parties to keep Elbert County’s economy stuck in the 19th century from as far back as anyone remembers; and this will remain the case for the foreseeable future.

It would be so much more honest if all of these collectivists could just hang a sign out at the county border saying that Elbert County is a preservation zone where there will be no economic growth, no enabling of the private sector, no new jobs, and no changes. Perhaps they could purchase the right to name the county Pleasantville.

Just get rid of all the legal mumbo jumbo in county zoning, dump all the expensive lawyerly jargon that pays lip service to the illusion of property rights and constitutional liberties, and replace it with a simple sentence; “No change is permitted.” Put that on the sign at the county border.

Then all the leftists could go off to other battleground locals to community-organize and inflict their advocacy, and people would know before ever considering putting down roots here just what they’re in for.

Think of all the time and money this would save. All of the public meetings we now have with foregone conclusions – gone. All of the empty rhetoric from government officials and would-be government officials – gone. All of the legal work around the regulatory edges – gone. People in the private sector would still drive to town for work. The number of government employees could be cut way back. And Jerry would have to find something else to publish and write about.

Let’s stop kidding ourselves. The myth of American freedom in Elbert County is an expensive joke. Freedom, as an ideal, deserves better than this. If we’re not going to serve it, then we should at least stop sullying it.
