They hate our freedom – and so do Obama and Clinton
“This video is disgusting and reprehensible,†Mrs. Clinton said in remarks at the State Department, broadcast live on CNN. Maybe she should not be telling people who murder ambassadors that they have perfectly good reasons for doing so, regardless of whether they do or they don’t.
Religion and reaction.
Fosetti criticizes Bruce Charlton’s claim that there are only three sides: Christianity, Islam and secular Leftism Obviously most Christians are secular leftists, in that they have chucked the Gospel overboard because of all those horribly reactionary bits commanding patriarchy and commanding toleration of all sorts of things that progressives are not supposed to tolerate, and in the process they have demoted Christ the redeemer to Jesus the community organizer. See Dalrock’s wonderful blog for its magnificent condemnation of actually existent …
Freedom in Russia and the US.
Observe that Brandaun Raub was arrested for calling for the imminent start of Civil War 2, whereas Pussy Riot committed numerous acts of subversion, desecration and obscenity in their own venues without encountering any response, before they were arrested for desecrating someone else’s altar in someone else’s venue. So we are moving from the position that subversion in the US is likely to lose you your job, because your employer may be punished for your views, to the position that …
Pussy Riot attacked freedom of speech and freedom of religion
And the longer they stay in jail, the more secure freedom of speech and freedom of religion is in Russia. If you desecrate your own altar in your own venue, that is freedom of speech and freedom of religion. If you desecrate someone else’s altar in someone else’s venue, you are suppressing their freedom of religion, and, in that an altar is symbolic speech, you are silencing their speech.
Ann Coulter goes anti democracy
Ann Coulter favorably quotes Le Bon Mobs, according to Le Bon, have a “fetish-like respect†for tradition, except moral traditions because crowds are too impulsive to be moral. That’s why liberals say our Constitution is a “living, breathing†document that sprouts rights to gay marriage and abortion, but the age at which Social Security and Medicare benefits kick in is written in stone. Le Bon says that it is lucky “for the progress of civilization that the power of crowds …
A tell revealing central authority over the official line
The most useful tells are short and sweet. You twit someone with something, and their response reveal their real beliefs and real motivations. This tell is, unfortunately, long, tedious and complex, but it not only reveals an elite that believes or pretends to believe in official truth absolutely regardless of evidence, but reveals that there is an official line, and the politically correct know it, reveals that they do not just believe certain improbable things because its is fashionable, or …
Where the doctrine of equalism comes from
“View from the right†is Christian rightist, and there they are arguing all men are made in the image of God, and therefore, equally entitled to rights and dignity. Of course, they can argue this without being totally insane since they believe that everyone has an immortal soul inside, regardless of physical and mental inequality and propensity to depraved acts, but when Christians ditched their Christianity, while retaining equalism, thus becoming progressives, which began with the anti slavery movement and …
The left singularity continues
Increased repression brings increased leftism, increased leftism brings increased repression, in an ever tighter circle that turns ever faster. This is the left singularity
Not the cognitive elite
Government has accomplished some mighty impressive things, the most impressive being the Manhattan project (nuclear bombs and nuclear energy), and the second most impressive being the landing on the moon. After Hiroshima, and before the moon landing, people said “Why don’t we (meaning government) have a Manhattan project to do X†After the landing on the moon, people said “If we (meaning government) can put a man on the moon, why cannot we do X†Well guess what, boys and …
