In Last 24 Hours Dem Protesters Have Assaulted a Young Woman, Tortured a Camel, Called Opponents “Bad Jews” & Attacked Gay Black Tea Partier…They Must Be Very Proud

With a video clip behind each one.

dwd comments:

They’ve pretty much offended every group out there…where are the animal rights groups denouncing this? How about the women’s rights groups? Gay rights groups? The NAACP / Jesse Jackson / Al Sharpton? Religious figures? How about environmentalists outraged by all the trash and signs just dumped on the ground when the union members left the protests?

Anyone? Anyone?

Crickets…

because these flagrant offenses don’t fit the leftist narrative[.]

My dictionary defines “civility” as “a. civilized conduct…b. a polite act or expression.” To have it when two sides disagree about something, both sides need to agree to the simple code of “I recognize the other person or party has a different take on things and that’s just fine.” “That’s just fine” meaning, not quite so much that there’s nothing worth doing; since of course both sides are going to have some demonstrations, and participate in exchanges of ideas, in order to change some minds. But it is not recognized as an urgent problem in desperate need of fixing, that the other side has influence. There is no recognized imperative to neutralize.

This would contradict the very foundation of modern leftist thought. Look around — every single thing they want is a “basic human right.” Even if it only became a basic human right minutes ago, when they decided it was one. Not because a Higher Power gave it to us, or because we need that right in order to enjoy some other right. No, it’s a “basic human right” because, and only because, this enables them to say there must be something wrong with you if you don’t go along.

Every single leftist recognition that a certain thing ought to be a certain way, is paired up with another leftist recognition that all “good” people agree with this, and therefore, if you’re not agreeing you must be “bad.” If you don’t agree, and you still have some ability to convince others to also disagree, then that has to be fixed. It’s time to go “activist,” to “get a little bloody” as they say.

They want society to be perfect. But at the same time — and this is the dirty little secret — they’re anarchists.

Until leftists who influence other leftists can say “I think X, but I can see how a reasonable person might think not-X,” you cannot involve leftists and have a civil discourse. About anything. And they can’t say that. They don’t believe it.

I have a new definition for ya.

Awesome!

There’s a “circle theory”, that the end result of an unyielding drive to make society more orderly, is indistinguishable from the end result of an unyielding drive to dismantle its rules and promote chaos instead of order — therefore, the chaos/order spectrum is shaped like a ring, with the two extreme ends meeting at a point somewhere. I happen to believe in this.

I further believe that leftist politics are all about that point. They want to live in a world where might-makes-right, and of course they want control of the might.

I’ve never met Tabitha Hale, but she seems -from a distance- to be a nice young woman. However, even if she were a raging bitch, she would not have deserved this shit.

If I’d have been there, I’d likely have been caught on camera as an ugly Teabagger because I would have beaten the ever loving crap out of that asshole.

Of course, I don’t have any tolerance for assholes who strike women, so there’s that.

I can just imagine if it had been my little bit of a wife (5 feet flat) who had been assaulted. The goon would have had to go into witness protection to prevent me from getting to him. I hate bullies, I hate bullies who hit women more and I will likely kill anyone who puts a rough hand on my wife, or make them wish that I had killed them.

There is also no outrage over the Japanese children who will now go hungry, after that country’s whalers were recently chased out of the Antarctic ocean areas…by environmentalist whackos pulling up alongside the whalers and harassing the whaling ships. The whale meat that isn’t used for research is sold for human consumption – in a country that’s bursting with people, has little arable land, and virtually no other food supply. It relies almost exclusively on rice, and whatever it can harvest from the ocean or import.

The whaling operation was forced to abort operations and head home early because of the greenies’ actions – playing “chicken” with 30,000 ton ships (theirs and the whalers’), throwing objects at the whaling ship, damaging the equipment used for whaling after it’s deployed in the ocean, and in some cases actually boarding the ships. They put tens of millions of dollars of property (as well as human lives not their own) at-risk just to make some political statement…over an animal species, which contrary to popular belief, isn’t endangered and is being hunted legally under international law.

The producers of the TV show “Whale Wars” are now breaking their arms patting themselves on the back for chasing those bad, evil, nasty Japanese whalers out of international waters and “saving the whales.”

I can’t believe the country hasn’t sent some kind of naval patrol boats to protect the whalers, or asked the US to get involved. I can tell you one thing for sure – the Japanese of the 1930s and 1940s would have dealt with this kind of provocation just a LITTLE differently.

They’re not “protesters.” They’re not “activists.” They’re Red Guards.

One of the ironies I most enjoy is that I know far, far (far far far far far) more about the history, theory, and practice of leftism than all but the best-educated leftists, and can see their bullshit rhetoric for what it really is. These guys consider themselves the “vanguard of the proletariat,” and so anything they do — no matter how contradictory it is of their stated “principles”– is completely justified.

Racism? Sexism? Anti-semitism? Hah! None of it matters, so long as you’re supporting the great proletarian cultural revolution (which means, of course, that the proles live how you tell them to live, while you do whatever you want).
