These are trying times. But, we must keep on believing we can change things, because the only alternative is to go under with perfect certainty. The great test of hope is to have it just when the situation seems devoid of it.

Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.

I did not call for gentlemanliness. When I speak of a moratorium on the Race Card, it is not one that is asked for nicely but taken by force (be it only verbal force é  la filibuster). The Marxists are oppressors par excellence, and it is not in the nature of an oppressor to cede power unless forced.

My apologies if my point of view is inapplicable to American politics. I’m still reeling from the way the recent conflict with Gaza has been mismanaged by the timidity of my country’s leadership. I’ve come to the conclusion that the biggest problem is not the side of evil, but the moderates, the squeamish, the gentlemanly on the side of good, and my take on all political issues everywhere is now colored by this view.

I never attribute to stupidity what is adequately explained by malice. The Progressive Left are not stupid and therefore should no longer be treated as such.

From Wikipedia:

“The totalitarian aim of the Party is to prevent any alternative thinking–”thoughtcrime”, or “crimethink” in the newest edition of Newspeak–by destroying any vocabulary that expresses such concepts as freedom, free enquiry, individualism, resistance to the authority of the state and so on…

The Newspeak term for the English language is Oldspeak. The Party intends to replace Oldspeak completely with Newspeak before 2050 (except among the Proles, who are not trained in Newspeak and whom the Party regards as barely human and unimportant).”

As Mary McCarthy once said of Lillian Hellman the commie and Pulitzer playwright, “Every word she speaks is a lie, and that includes ‘a’, ‘an’ and ‘the’.” How do you propose to dialogue with these people? If you speak not, you leave them the field, and lie away they will. The race card is their Ace of Trumps.

All kidding aside, how and why does anyone take seriously someone who is obviously functionally illiterate, and whose reasoning (if you’ll pardon the exaggeration) is of a piece with his linguistic skills?

“All Republicans is racist”

“hiddenly”

“Democrats like us”

Somewhere an English teacher is weeping.
