"'Dzhokhar Tsarnaev' is Chechen for 'Bill Ayers'." (Seen in Facebook)

"QUESTION OBEDIENCE"

Nathan Stocker came with that in Facebook. If this stoopid country had about sixteen brains per capita, those two words would corner huge percentages of the T-shirt and bumper-sticker market.

In Dealings With Them

Fri, 21 Dec 2012 02:29:50 GMT

There is a ghastly ahistoricity in these complaints against the antiquity of the Second Amendment. What very few understand is the power-relations of the progression of arms in the past five hundred years. In 1789, the flintlock musket was the "assault weapon" of its day. It was every bit as dangerous and menacing then as the AR-15 is now. Anyone who doubts this need only reflect upon the fact that civilians took their weapons into battle against the greatest military power in...

"End Game"

Thu, 20 Dec 2012 17:16:59 GMT

In a discussion of the gun-control hysteria, I was told, "So I leave it to you to propose the endgame." This is what I wrote: I don't know what you mean by that, but I can tell you this with all the authority of a lifetime of study and observation: This is a cultural problem about the existence of values. None of this is -- at this point -- a dispute over which values to hold, but about the very existence of values to begin with: what they are and why...

That Terrible Autumn Thing

Wed, 31 Oct 2012 19:08:22 GMT

It's just terribly sad to watch all this voting going on. All this pride in an unaccountable huddling around un-human ideas -- ideas which never integrate the crucial attribute of human individuality and everything that means -- in order to distribute raw force upon every each-other of a people indignantly clamoring for peace and brotherhood; these contradictions and evasions cannot but work to deaden the soul with gloom for any broad-stroke of an American future. A man might steal...

The Whip Of The Week

"Poor Obama. He was prepped and ready to debate a conservative Republican and he instead found himself in the Democratic primaries." (Kim Shady -- cited by Kyle Bennett, Facebook)

Where They Were

Sat, 29 Sep 2012 03:17:55 GMT

By the first decade of the twenty-first century, people who lived in the United States were voting for their lives. By then, too many of them had no way of knowing how evil this could be, because they had never lived what had been lost; a middle-aged person could recall vestiges, at least, of a common-sense approach to life communicable to nearly everyone around him in any matter of everyday conduct, where many a grown man or woman in their early twenties or even thirties could not....

The Fatal Defect of The Democratic Republic

No republic can stand the realizations of evil men that democracy is a natural market for lies.

Studies In The Fundamentals Of Futlity

"So you're OK with people suffering needlessly? And you're OK with killing 17,000 people a year? Because if you are, admit it. Don't hide behind 'we can't afford it.' Sure, that's a viable position. Darwinian, but viable. 'Decrease the surplus population' is Scrooge-like, but viable. If you'd rather not raise taxes on the fortunate and on health care freeloaders, that's a viable position. If you want to continue to allow people to be sick and to...
