My kids’ school sent a note saying they can wear Halloween costumes to school tomorrow as long as they don’t cover the face because it will “hinder the learning environment.”

I was waiting for the punch line at the end but apparently they didn’t see the irony in their message

Let it sink in.

Why limit it? Just take out all the non-STEM profs, if you wanted to be SURE you didn’t take out any Good Guys… :-p

“A friend of ours in central coast California moved out to Asheville about a year ago. Definitely not a Democrat. She used to be a conservative warrior on Twitter until the threats got too bad.”

I retire from the State Dept in a month and will likely settle in Asheville for a while, at least until I find the right property to build on in the general area. But within the Asheville city limits for more than a few months? No thanks. Gorgeous city, loved living there before I joined the Foreign Service, but it has become a leftist nightmare. In NC we call it “Chapel Hill in the mountains.” However, in that part of the state it is the advanced medical hub, and the small towns nearby are still quite nice and the mountains are spectacular, so as a retiree I’d like to be within striking distance. But, maybe your friend and I can make a difference.

Fair points. But how do you Fix the CDC or Restore Integrity in Medicine without putting serious hurt on some prime malefactors and scaring the living #$%^ out of the rest of them?

Something to ponder on a quiet evening at your farmhouse outside Florence 🙂

I think we’ve always disagreed about being entirely Machiavellian. I agree that frequently one must fight fire with fire, but that doesn’t really address a desirable end point that any politically active person should have. Unless said person is a callous self-serving opportunist, in which case it does.

So, if there was a flesh eating virus … I wouldn’t be picketing to “Save the Profs!” But I might picket to “Fix the CDC” or “Restore Integrity in Medicine.” Because those latter two things are important for everybody.

Call me a cockeyed Samaritan.

Not feeling it today.
We are done as a United Country. Prove me wrong.

The sooner the better.

If you save “the country”, you save the 56% of young progressive white females yada yada yada who are diagnosed as psychologically disturbed; the subversive gurls of both sexes, the liberal grannies, all the people whose behaviors are killing freedom and turning our social and economic lives to shit.

You want to save your smug sister-in-law, your mocking pajama-boy son, the preening libs who’ve kindled fires that will eventually consume them too? … well you go right ahead.

Maybe you can, for a time. I hope it is worth it to you. And if you have emotional attachments to progs, then maybe it is.

As for me, it seems as pointless as these insane discussions we keep having here; as we pretend that a taste for liberty can be taught to the kind of an honorless organism that seeks social affirmation and place above all else. The grazing animals that Aristotle mentioned. Not that some of them are not exceedingly clever and determined, with a real will-to-power.

My only hope is that – and if this gets me tossed once again, so what – “nature” or the Norks or the Chinese, or Ebola or something will do what most of us are too reluctant to do, even to regain our liberties.

Then too, there is always the possibility of some technological break through which will be a game changer. That is what I am actually betting on.

But teaching teaching serviles and psychopaths to value what serviles and psychopaths per definition can never value?

Not worth it. Never was. Never worked. It is just not what they are interested in, not how their lives are internally programmed to play out. They may seem to hum along for the sake of inclusion, but they don’t really grasp nor feel the tune. It is not of them.

And that is why our good friend Zaphod’s Quixotic attempt to save “Western civilization” by saving so called “white people” is so … pointless. I mean half the Swedes alive are enemies of freedom every freedom except the freedom to seek orgasms with anything anywhere at anytime. Most white people are not “Western Civilization. They are consumers, belongers, status seekers. ‘All in the herd, nothing outside the herd’ as a famous Italian fascist once approximately said. [But with what Michael Caine as Alfie once referred to as a nice little private fiddle on the side]

Yeah. Good luck … with your trans boys and girls and your lavatory crawling 15 year olds doling out fellatio, and worse. Save them?

What for?
