“They saw their injured country's woe;
The flaming town, the wasted field;
Then rushed to meet the insulting foe;
They took the spear, - but left the shield.”
Protests! What “protests”? You mean those Riots that destroyed millions of dollars of property? You mean the vandalism of public monuments? You mean the looting and arson of businesses? You mean the Killings? And what did this coast to coast spree of criminal violence — from Seattle to New York — have to do with George Floyd? How does tearing down a statue in Virginia or Ohio do anything to prevent police brutality in Minneapolis, or anywhere else?
One reason we cannot have civil discussion in this country is because our media so distort reality — by the abuse of language and other means — that words themselves begin to lose their meaning. What does the word “racist” mean? We are told that George Floyd was a victim of racism, simply because he was black and died at the hands of a white police officer, but where is the actual evidence of racism on the part of Officer Derek Chauvin or the other accused officers in the case? Officer Chauvin had been previously accused of misconduct, and there is some indication he may have had a personal grudge against Floyd — they evidently knew each other — but I have yet to see any evidence clearly proving that racism was the motive of Chauvin’s actions on May 25.
To ask for evidence, I suppose, is racist, because everything is racist. Merely being white is racist, so if you’re white, it’s probably just a matter of time until some activist notices your existence and decides to destroy you personally. Something you said or did was racist, or maybe you didn’t say anything, but silence is violence, so the mob will show up, the “unrest” will begin, and they’ll burn everything to the ground.
The next day’s headlines will describe a “mostly peaceful protest,” as if the attendant destruction and violence was trivial.
Thanks to the ceaseless machinations of The LEFT, life on earth has been transformed into an INFERNO.
NOTICE THIS, please before you PERISH in the FLAMES:
The LEFT has never presented ANY viable ANTIDOTES to the HORRORS they've promoted and manufactured in order to advance their maniacal quest for ABSOLUTE POWER.
The Left never ceases to COMPLAIN. It's ALL they DO –– along with their Hectoring, Badgering, Mocking, Lampooning, Sarcasm and Vilification of ANYONE who tries to give us HOPE and particulrly those who dare to DO anything the least bit CONSTRUCTIVE.
Do I hate LEFTISTS?
INDEED I DO –– with all my HEART, SOUL and MIND.
Now GERT can be happy, because I've given him plenty of FUEL for his GIGGLE MACHINE.

Paranoia, paranoia Everybody's coming to get me Just say you never met me I'm running underground with the moles, digging holes Hear the voices in my head I swear to God it sounds like they're snoring
I'm only happy when it rains I'm only happy when it's complicated And though I know you can't appreciate it I'm only happy when it rains You know I love it when the news is bad Why it feels so good to feel so sad? I'm only happy when it rains
Pour your misery down Pour your misery down on me Pour your misery down Pour your misery down on me
He does have a point. I could moderate comments, but I choose not to. Civilization requires an Executioner (Joseph d'Maistre). I just don't care to be one.
When I had The Sentinel (a self-professed Nazi, homophobe, general racist and antisemite) comment at DYWP, I allowed his comments to stand but NEVER unchallenged. Sentinel's crapola was rebutted by moi, each and every time. And when he was occasionally crapflooding my site I did sometimes hit DELETE. It's my party and I can cry if I want to.
Rebutting Stinkah's stuff would not take much time or effort. Most of his crap is so outlandish it almost rebutts itself. His take on the Lincoln, the Civil War and Wilkes Booth e.g. was priceless.
Why rebut history and our opinions of historical figures? Can't everyone have their own opinion? We aren't "totalitarians" are we?
We need to learn to accept our neighbors, no matter how different from us. If that means we need to carry side arms, so be it. Perhaps people wouldn't voice their extremism so often were duels still sanctioned. So long as my home remains my castle, who gives a f_ck what their neighbors do or think. That's my take.

ROFLOL. You rebut my opinions ALL THE TIME! What's wrong with a little debate?!? Are all opinions born equal? Of equal value? Does Holocaust denial count as a valid opinion?
A Holocaust denier (e.g.) would be 'welcome' at mine but I'll be damned I'll let it stand unchallenged!
Short review: as lame as it is long.
ReplyDeleteBut the comments were very entertaining, thanks for that!
ReplyDeleteAlso I thought El Stupido said the economy is bouncing back at a rate of knots?

Don't go, Stinkah, this is too much fun. And we need to discuss the Hippies yet! Inquiring minds need to know!
