Social commentary

More from the tolerant left

Showing their true colors.

 From The Federalist

Every passing day since the presidential election bears this out. The spasms of outrage and protest that have rocked the country since Donald Trump’s election have revealed what should have been plain to see for a long time: progressives are through debating; they are interested only in enforcing their views.

They believe they have won the culture wars, that there is no room left for dissent on matters like gay marriage, abortion, and transgender entitlements. They believe, too, that questions of public policy, from health care to entitlements and welfare, have been settled once and for all. Any remaining dissenters should feel the full weight of the administrative state, with all its powerful mechanisms.

Don’t want to bake a cake for a gay wedding? We’ll put you out of business. Donate to the wrong political cause? You’ll lose your job. Don’t want to pay for government-mandated birth control for your employees? We’ll haul you before the Supreme Court, even if you’re a group of septuagenarian Catholic nuns. This is what you’ll get when you mess with us.

Of course none of this happened overnight, and it’s not going to change anytime soon.

Fasten your seatbelts.

We live in interesting times.

 

Fascism in America

And it not coming from Trump. But being taught on our college campuses.

deepredpond  my very obscure piss ant little blog Stands with Oleg Atbashion founder of the Peoples Cube.

Remember all those college protest for free speech and against the Vietnam war.  That was then this is now. Those then young protesters are now in charge and they will brook no dissent from the party line.

Read… and be ready to fight…for you rights.

What was it like to live in a totalitarian society? Go to practically any college campus and find out.

This is not parody

From  the Lennyletter.

When people told me they hated Hillary Clinton or (far worse) that they were “not fans,” I wish I had said in no uncertain terms: “I love Hillary Clinton. I am in awe of her. I am set free by her. She will be the finest world leader our galaxy has ever seen.”

Read it all.

What does this remind me of?

Oh yes, now I remember.

Hitler was a Socialist.  But you knew that…didn’t you?

 

This is interesting.

Note the phrase ENGAGED IN ILLEGAL ACTIVITY”.

Well at least it seems that they know how to spell.

Trump Wins!!

I was preparing for the worst, and hoping for the best.

Living here in the Peoples Republic of Vermont You know that your political views are in the very minority. While the results of the election is very gratifying to me they weren’t for one member of my family.

You try to instill your values in your children for 17 years.  They go to college and the instructors destroy them within two semesters.  Teenage rebellion, and that they believe they already know everything there is to know.  Of course this is nothing new.

“If your not a liberal at 20 you have no heart. If your not a conservative at 40 you have no head”  Winston Churchill

When I was in high school the indoctrination was just beginning. Teachers who had been working since the end of WW2 were retiring.  They were being replaced with people in their late twenties, fresh from college.

Did a tern paper on Eugene Debs, Got an “A” on it.  I guess he liked what I had to say about him. Socialism seemed very cool to me then.

Over the course of life you learn from your successes, your failures, things that might have been, and things that you would never change. And reading, lots and lots of reading.

My opinion, America has been granted a reprieve.

For now.

 

 

History and Future

History and future, what has been and what has yet to be.

Leftist, Marxist Communist, Socialist, progressives all concur on this point.  The march of history points to the inevitable triumph of a Progressive utopia.

But if a certain change is truly inevitable, why is it important for human agency to lend a hand, indeed to struggle mightily on its behalf? Here we turn to the critical matter of timing. While a change may be inevitable, the intervention of man can and will speed up this most desired of happenings. Man can function, in one of Marx’s favorite obstetrical metaphors, as a “midwife” of history.2 Man’s intervention could give the inevitable a helpful push.

Progressives in the west and especially in America have been very patient. They dedicate themselves to a cause even though they understand that they most likely were not going to be alive when final victory was achieved. It is their religion.

But will it really be so? Is Socialism a historical inevitability? Well if “the intervention of man” can speed it up then the intervention of man can stop or at least slow it down.

Obama care, which was intended to fail from its inception was to be a stepping stone to single payer. “Free” healthcare the best avenue for big government to place a dog collar around the necks of the people

Sadly, we have had at least three recent examples where one man might have changed the course of history, but they turned out to be cowards.

Former Senator Ben Nelson of Nebraska, a “pro-life” democrat,  who in the past had voted with republicans against his party leadership. He even had a favorable rating from the NRA. But on Christmas Eve 2009 his vote was what put Obama care over the top.

Question, How many thousands of pages of the Obamacare bill were there that Congress had no time to read?

One Vote.  Party loyalty came first over his “principles”. He did not want to go down in history as the man who de-railed the first black presidents signature achievement and the goal of 100 years of “progressive” politics.

Next: Chief Justice John Roberts who decided that he did not want to go down in history as the man who de-railed the first black presidents signature achievement. He stated that the law was unconstitutional as written. So he took it upon himself to re-write it as a “tax”  which made it constitutional. That made it 5-4 siding with the leftist on the court. then he wrote both the majority and minority opinions.  Then he left town in a hurry.

I didn’t know that the Supreme Court was allowed to re-write legislation.

One vote Chief Justice Roberts did not want to go down in history as the man who de-railed the first black presidents signature achievement.

Finally we have the head of the F.B.I. James Comey.  who gave a laundry list of why Hillary Clinton should be indicted then weaseled out saying that they couldn’t find intent.  I guess that he did not want to go down in history as the one who indicted the potential first women president.

Hillary should be in prison for treason.

Update: Comey is perhaps trying to redeem himself, A revolt in the ranks of the F.B.I. may have persuaded him.

In Comey’s defense he is dealing with the most corrupt and politicized Justice Dept.  that country has ever known.

Three men who could have changed the course of history (or future) for the better. And they decided to take a pass.

Inevitability ??
