Soon.

Our leftwing pals might also be interested/appalled to know that Fred Phelps of the Westboro Baptist Church was a Democrat.

Yep.

Pass it on….

I fear that you and I and most of us here are operating at a distinct disadvantage. That the lefties eagerly, yea gleefully, tie these sorts of shootings to righties, offers them a distinct advantage, seen in the successful demonization of righties. True, it’s hardly the only way in which righties are demonized, and it’s hardly the only technique used to demonize righties. But it’s a key part of the ongoing, successful demonization of righties.

You and I and most of us here go into battle with one arm tied behind our back. We are depriving ourselves of the weapon of deceit, which, when nurtured and cunningly implemented, blossoms into Big Lie propaganda. It’s a very powerful weapon, as I’m sure you and most of us here know from the experience of being on the losing end.

But I can’t use it; it’s just not who I am. It’s not who you are and, I will venture, it’s not who most of us here are. We are fighting at a distinct disadvantage, and I hope it doesn’t turn out to be a critical component of our undoing. My fear is that it already is and will so continue.

I don’t buy into the assurances of those who insist that eventually the truth will out, the the judgment of history will render the correct verdict, or something like that. I sure as h#ll wish I could buy into such optimism.

Some folks let things slide like water off a duck’s back. Others hold on to every, real or imagined, slight as if it demands retaliation on the magnitude of Armageddon.

You just never know what lives within that stranger – a friend or a monster.

Communal living and left-wing ideology are not equivalent.

The consolidation of capital and labor; the marginalization or evisceration of competing interests; the formation of monopolies by design; are a historical recipe for human and civil rights violations.

The difference is consent, motive, and outcome. While the difference may only be in degrees, the predisposition is observable. It stems in part from the way people reconcile the moral axioms of individual dignity and intrinsic value.

The long, dragged out appeals process is certainly a factor in favor of your position. I discount it for two reasons; though serious, it is another separate issue and to be just, justice must be proportional. Cruel and unusual punishment has a flip side. Two months in the county lockup for rape would be unconscionable, so too with life imprisonment with conjugal visits, TV, exercise equipment and ‘three squares a day’ after having ended other’s lives. Some cannot stand imprisonment, many more adjust quite easily.

I oppose the death penalty for one reason, it usually costs society more than a life sentance given the long, dragged out appeals process. A small cell and meager rations and never standing under the open sky is relatively cheap even over a 50 year period. Plus, there is no ‘fame’ associated with a life without parole sentence, and zero legal fees. Let them languish in solitary confinement and go moon bat crazy. Or let the families of his victims carry out the execution. In my family it would be a dinner invitation with Iowa hogs.

Strictly speaking they are ALL anti-religions — as they promote man ABOVE God/ deny God.

Alternately they are all neo-paganisms.

Or, perhaps, macro-narcissism, a narcissism of the collective elites — or wannabee elites.
