Demonstrating How the Left Is NOT Liberal

When will the liberals you know finally understand how the Left is not Liberal? And, further has really only ployed that label in the past in order to make its gains?

I think In Left's Always Mutating Mutant Hierarchy, Muslims Are The New Gay by Ace of Spades  will help you get through to those liberals who know you and maybe even love you.

Excerpts:

Jamie Kirchick writes on a bunch of topics related to identity politics in this long piece; worth reading. He examines the Rock-Paper-Scissors hierarchy of victims; Muslims are now at the top of the Victim Period, and at the very bottom, of course, are Jews, who really aren't even considered by the left to be victims at all, even when they're murdered. Even as they lay dying on the street, they're Oppressors.

[Ace quoting Kirchick]:
Consider the administration's initial response to the murder of three Muslim-Americans in North Carolina last week, the motive for which, at the time, was unclear. The day after the incident, with the FBI inquiry into the matter having just been launched, the president himself released a statement declaring that "No one in the United States of America should ever be targeted because of who they are, what they look like, or how they worship." It stands in contrast to White House spokesman Josh Earnest's deplorable remark that the victims of the Paris attack "were killed not because of who they were but because of where they randomly happened to be."
...
The latest FBI crime statistics report six times as many hate crime incidents directed against Jews as they do against Muslims. Likewise in Europe, Jews are more likely to be victimized by hate crime than Muslims, who are themselves usually the perpetrators of anti-Semitic attacks.

It's a good piece, deriding the left's vicious Jacobins....

All of these fanatical movements purge their least-monstrous members. In the French Revolution, the Liberals went to the guillotines first; then the Constitutionalists; then the Girondists. Each group went along with the guillotining of the next group, thinking -- or just hoping -- that if they agreed to guillotine the next batch, they themselves would be spared the National Razor.

But they weren't. Including, in the end, the Jacobins themselves, who were all fed into the guillotines.

I have copied the whole piece (with a different title for the email) and sent it off with a simple introduction asking the questions I asked at the top.

Left Influenced Converted to Liberty Influence By a Single Word

Exploitation.


A liberal friend on becoming cognizant of real news:
"...the conditions of these youngsters from Central America who have been shipped one way or another North (media still silent on such details and seems not likely to investigate further) to be shoved across our borders. An organized invasion. I don't think it would be going too far to call it a warped update of the Children's Crusade. What is going on here?"
I suggested, "I think the word you are looking for, to hang on all this, may be Exploitation."

And a fire lit in her eyes.

Please welcome the newest member of the growing resistance to DC.

You too may have one budding near you.

Just be open to him and primed to offer just the right word.

Counter-Propaganda

I’ve been tweeting variations of this line at each CAGW related story in the hopes that many others begin to repeat its essence.

Marginalize the marginalizers. Rent seekers co-opting science to coerce consensus via expulsion are NOT scientists.

Others will repeat this sort of message until there will be no place you clowns go where your audience has not heard it.

We will pile the ridicule high enough and so that even the most brainless rent seekers among you will look for safer pickings. You will help bring sanity and adults back to proper prominence or you will lose to a Higher authority.

We CAN Beat the Left When We Have Honest Leadership

There was a time when the forces of the Right could win. But it was only temporary wins and it appears the Left knew it. It was because they had a purpose as shown them by leaders who were in on the planning. If there were any on the Right who were planning the opposite, it seems clear that with so many "Progressive" (Incrementalist) Republicans at or near the helm of power, our side was too infiltrated with with agents from the other side. For ages it seems they succeeded in preventing principled conservative thinking from being in power (Reagan being the exception that defeated them) or stay there for long ("Progressive" GHWB claimed to have seen the light to gain our trust, and then dashed them later).

Controlling Education has been a dream of the Incrementalists since the days of John Dewey. Kevin Baker generated some fine commentary over a couple of books dealing with Incrementalist education since the beginning of the last century. That prompted me to recall something in more depth that I've only mentioned in passing here and elsewhere.

What follows is the lesson I learned from an incident I witnessed close to 50 years ago. My readers deserve to hear my report (that you won't find anywhere else) on my own site. I surely hope you guys can help this "agnostic" follow through with his conclusion. I'm pretty sure Kevin would not agree with that conclusion. I didn't even think of that portion while I was posting at his blog. That thought came to me overnight.

Forgive me if I've reported this here before, but it's germane to what has become of education. It provides evidence that the Left was organized and planning their long march early on, and even told us what they planned to do. We either didn't understand or didn't believe them until it was too late. Or is it?

Late in the 2nd trimester of my freshman year at Michigan, the first teach-ins against the Nam war were organized.  I only caught a glimpse of what was going on. But shortly thereafter came the student votes to condemn UM participation in war industry through research grants. Naturally the Engineering School led the voting bloc that constantly voted down the resolutions.

Well, after the SDS lost another vote, some bitch grabbed a bull-horn at an unusual rally site behind the UGLi* and declared
"the only reason we lost is because you're all ignorant. Don't worry, we will educate you." 
Most of us went off to work after college to do something productive. She and her ilk, no doubt, went to work as an educrat and thus infiltrated our education institutions. We let them sow their wind, and now nobody should be surprised that we are reaping the whirlwind -- the familiar mindless sloganeering of a herd of indoctrinated sheeple as we witnessed last fall in the Occupy movement.

The reason it now starts in the primary school classroom is that those 60's radicals first began to fully infest the teaching colleges then. According to CS Lewis in "Men Without Chests," the first seeds of that invasion began in British teaching colleges during the 20s and 30s.

Like I wrote up at the top, the "Progressives" were well planned from the start to incrementally bring about their complete control of the West (which is to say the world), while the rest of us were complacent at best. They thrived because they could use Alinksy rule #4 to force us to be tolerant of them by hiding behind the 1st Amendment. Good luck getting the same tolerance now that they are in charge. PC disguises Leftist bigotry and allows them to make rules -- which they enforce ruthlessly -- to silence us.

The question that is pressing us into service is, :
"Can the Right find and keep real leadership once again to thwart their plans and begin the reclamation of liberty?"
Probably. But only with reference to and appeals to God. I cannot think of any more in-your-face conflict with the Left (sinister) forces than bringing Him into it.

-----
*A relatively small rally on the grass between the undergraduate library and West Engineering, probably to catch the attention of us engg students. IIRC, most rallies were staged out in the center of the Diag, on and North of the steps to the graduate library. Her words still ring in my ears. I fully suspect that was the whole reason they were there -- so that if they succeeded eventually, her words would be a form of gloating before the fact.

It's not over sister. If you're still alive, useful idiots are the first to wind up in the gulag because they are viewed as too dangerous by the inner circle.

Principles of Plenty

Below the break is a fine speech. My readers can learn some wisdom from it. But still I sigh. It adheres quite well to Hanlon's Razor.
Benjamin Franklin once observed that experience keeps a dear school but fools will learn in no other.  The last few years in Washington have proved that there are some people who can’t even learn from experience.  
Since we know that there are cronies who have not been harmed by this administration -- in fact cronies who have done quite well indeed -- that a bit more application of Heinlein's Razor is surely appropriate.  Yes it would set Mr. McClintock apart from the majority of politicians. It would not even be much of a gamble because the SKUNCs would undoubtedly attack him for applying it.  But Tom has survived the SKUNCs before, and will likely again. He worked hard to get to Congress, overcoming huge forces who were against him --cough -- Schwarzenegger -- cough-- Karl Rove -- cough. He would seem to have an in with destiny. Maybe the next Treasury secretary?


At some point malice and not ineptitude becomes so obvious, that to be silent on the matter is to go along sheepishly with the lie that the emperor is not naked. The future is begging for the brave, clear visioned. Maybe not today, but tomorrow my friends. Soon.

The Latest Marxist Agit-Prop

Is it possible that Ace, who is such a know-it-all, is completely uninformed by the revelations of David Horowitz?

Regarding how Ace responded to Romney hecklers stories at Likely Liberal Plants Continue Heckling Romney.

Ace came up with a viable solution to deal with this latest street theater. And then he frets that it will look bad. Well duh you biggest moron. Is that the extent of your analysis?

Anyone who recalls from one of David Horowitz' books -- I think Radical Son -- how he attended Marxist "summer camps" where agit-prop and street theater were taught and tested and creepy little red monsters emerged. That fact ought to be clear in how brazen are the hecklers as they remain on message and unperturbed to all efforts at ending their disturbance. Romney acts like he's appealing to the understanding of a real human being. That's been totally drummed out of these creeps. All that they want to do, what they are aiming to do, is be kicked out so that the media cameras can catch the desired reaction.

What we do to fight back? Film them in action and run it in counterpoint to the nightly news as portrayed in by the Statist propaganda media.

Why isn't David Horowitz hot on this story? Maybe he WILL be. Sure seems to be where he's got the expertise.

Updates:
73 How is it that the Moron in Chief here either does not know or -- what is more likely -- does not dare identify this as agit-prop? And then goes on to fret that his prescribed course of actions would look bad. Is that the extent of your analysis Ace? Dare not look bad at all costs? Perhaps you've been made an offer you cannot refuse.

Og quips in IM:
"Agit-prop? Why nobody of any consequence uses that term anymore. It's so 60s."
Yeah, now it is so much easier for SKUNCs to aid the Left in getting away with agit-prop. Like the "victim" Romney here, who would never dream of filling a pedagogical remedial function like a true man opposition should. Or like Ace.

The Rotten Demonization of Anti-Abortionists

The single biggest dirty trick that abortionists and their propaganda arm have done was to paint anti-abortionists as anti-woman. It worked much as reverse psychology works. If those in power deem you must have children, you show them. It worked like a charm, at least since the 1920s, to drive some women to endorse abortion on demand. And thanks to media giving the feminists such a high profile, they did it by telling women it was a way to rebel against The Man. Thus that Leftist boogeyman name for the Establishment wound up having a double meaning that was quite useful for the radical feminists (misandrists).

The reality is that abortionists are an arm of the Left's anti-human squad. That squad is revealed in the following Venn diagram.
Venn Diagram of Anti-Human Sentiments


This diagram suggests that all the hatreds, of men, of women, of marriage and of new births, are all subsets of misanthropy. It should be plain as day that abortion, among all the hatreds above, has played a pernicious role in exacerbating the other hatreds. It was intended to play the primary role in reducing the number of people on the planet. It certainly succeeded in the West through persuasion, and in China through tyranny. The third world's resistance to abortion has advanced the advocacy of post-birth abortions. Once the Globalists attain their dream -- God forbid -- of total control, it is a certainty that any masking of such intentions will be totally discarded.

Here is how you can readily identify abortion as a fundamental program of the Left. The Left almost always modifies a good thing in order to promote a bad thing or to create a bad thing out of a good thing. For example, justice by itself is wholly unfit for the goals of the Left. so they invented and exploited the concept of social justice for ages. And now they're wreaking havoc on our economy with a new one called environmental justice.

And with abortion, the Left has been in full out mode in creating modified humans; subhumans if you will. Here is a partial list of the people being killed by this Leftist program. they are fetuses; they are unwanted children; they are malformed children; they are diseased children; they are functionally impaired children; they are burdensome children, they are unwanted children. Never, no never, are they considered simply children let alone persons.

Dividing up children in this manner has made it possible to convince many parents to hand over their children to the abortion mills. And now the state is on the verge of making it mandatory. How ever they have "modified" the meaning of children, the victims of abortion are still all children.

And none of us should be surprised at this. Tyrants, by their very disregard for their subjects, are full out misanthropes. They value people only to the extent that they are useful, and then discarded when deemed of no further use. Subdividing children in this manner is simply another form of divide and conquer: the despots' favorite means to achieve their end.

The public is constantly preached to about how we must fight the Left's invented "fears." Homophobia, Xenophobia, and Islamophobia for instance. But of the Left's deadly misanthropy, you hear hardly a word -- unless you come to this blog. Why is that? Hmmmm?

Once again, here is the question that virtually everybody in power or behind a microphone pretends not to hear:
How is it that we never hear you direct a harsh word at the Malthusian, Utilitarian and Green nutcases?

A Tragic Loss for Two Generations

More on this in coming days. Expect a new and controversial series.





These are posted under fair-use for purposes of commentary. They are part of the movie "Song of the South" that Disney Corporation refuses to put out in DVD. That refusal has been because the PC crowd has labeled it raciss.

These cartoon vignettes were based on the most famous work of anthropologist Joel Chandler Harris, Uncle Remus: His Songs and His Sayings. The stories are thousands of years old and were intended to teach children to be wary of the behavior of scheming adults.

Today the kids instead are taught -- and adults were taught -- Occam's Razor and Hanlon's Razor. These full scale denials eradicate a good portion of how we once taught vital lessons to the young. Instead, they are taught
  • to throw out the thought that people would ever scheme. 
  • That people never weave a tangled web to cover their deceits. 
  • And they only make innocent mistakes.

But these stories may well be the source of Heinlein's Razor. "Don't rule out malice," because the malevolent, they lay low.

Many thanks to Og for his aid in finding these.
