• Shock Article: Bioethicists Suggest Killing Someone With ‘No Autonomy Left’ Is Not Morally Wrong

  January 30, 2012 at 11:40pm

  The progressive refusal to acknowledge the value of individual human life over an evanescent conflation of group rights and collectivist ideology is one of the principal reasons why no peace, no accommodation, no compromise can ever be made with them. Theirs is a reckless, willful and fundamentally evil disregard for the most fundamental of all of our rights: and that is the individual’s right to live.

  This premise is, has been, and continues to be central to the justification for the wholesale slaughter of millions of human beings – and the enslavement and impoverishment of hundreds of millions more. I have written a modest essay concerning the idea of killers without conscience and the pedigree of their ideas. These ideas are on display in the details of 0bamacare, for example. 0bamacare represents the deliberate and willful devaluation of human life – the reduction of people to mere objects. That is the next step on the way to physician-assisted suicide and, if it is not stopped, government-mandated euthanasia.

  But that’s precisely the intent of the so-called “Obamacare” legislation.

  Why else would modernity’s Left seek to ‘move the goalposts’ that define life? And further, to define the value of individual life by its utility? “Utility” – to whom or for what? We have moved from questioning whether any sane human being should be allowed to make such decisions to dithering over who will get to decide. This is monstrous. Monstrous.

• ‘We Will Not Comply’: Catholic Leaders Distribute Letter Slamming Obama Admin Contraceptive Mandate

  January 30, 2012 at 11:34pm

  Pope John Paul II in his 1995 work, “The Gospel of Life” made this observation:

  “This reality is characterized by the emergence of a culture which denies solidarity and in many cases takes the form of a veritable “culture of death”. This culture is actively fostered by powerful cultural, economic and political currents which encourage an idea of society excessively concerned with efficiency. Looking at the situation from this point of view, it is possible to speak in a certain sense of a war of the powerful against the weak: a life which would require greater acceptance, love and care is considered useless, or held to be an intolerable burden, and is therefore rejected in one way or another. A person who, because of illness, handicap or, more simply, just by existing, compromises the well-being or life-style of those who are more favored tends to be looked upon as an enemy to be resisted or eliminated. In this way a kind of “conspiracy against life” is unleashed. This conspiracy involves not only individuals in their personal, family or group relationships, but goes far beyond, to the point of damaging and distorting, at the international level, relations between peoples and States.”

  There is only one way the monsters who seek to impose such a hellish existence on this world can be stopped. Only one way.

• Wis. Protester Predicts Class Warfare: ‘All you F**king Tea Party Baggers Get Ready’

  August 31, 2011 at 12:30am

  Some of these anarchist types might know what to do with a weapon. A lot of ‘em don’t but some do. Trouble with the anarchist mindset is, it doesn’t work well with respect to effective small unit tactics. When it’s time, I won’t be alone. Neither should the rest of you. Even a small three man squad can do some real damage and live to do some more. Find trusted individuals and learn to work together. Have magazines and calibers in common. Those of us who’ve been overseas know the drill. Some of these clowns may have had the same experience, but it‘s doubtful whether they’ll be able to profit from it.

  We will be fighting for everything that matters, and fight we will. They’ll start it. We’ll finish it. With EXTREME prejudice.

  Stay well. Stay safe. Stay armed. Stay free.

• ‘This Is WAR’ — Congressional Black Caucus Travels US Cities Using Violent Rhetoric: Declares ‘War’ on Racist Tea Party, Says Tea Party Wants to Lynch Blacks, Calls for Bank Runs, Civil Unrest in Their Neighborhoods and Homes

  August 30, 2011 at 6:29pm

  Here’s the context: these are the opening shots of the race war this vile and evil administration needs in order to consolidate its hold on power. The recent display of racially charged art in the White House pretty much seals the deal.

  They’re seriously off balance, still not really understanding the shellacking they received last November. The race war gambit is all they have left. They have no idea who we really are and what we stand for. All they can see is an enemy that must be dealt with. That’s you and me, folks. War is coming Don’t go quietly. Make them pay. Dear Lord, make them pay.

  Stay well. Stay safe. Stay armed. Stay free.

• Omaha Schools Spend $130,000 in Stimulus Money to Buy 8,000 ‘Social Justice’ Diversity Manuals

  July 15, 2011 at 8:57am

  And while we’re all focused on this issue, other special interest groups have been busy. Read it below and weep. Then get your kids out of the public school system. Separation of school and state!

  HOMOSEXUALS TARGET TEXAS SCHOOLS The Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN), who sponsored a Massachusetts workshop that exploded into a national scandal because it used taxpayer dollars to teach children how to engage in homosexual acts, have made public schools in the South (Texas is one) a priority in their nationwide quest to have homosexuality taught in classrooms. Established in 1994 and now with 85 chapters nationwide, GLSEN describes itself as the nation’s largest organization combating anti-homosexual bias in America’s schools. GLSEN caught the eye of concerned parents last March by sponsoring a workshop that gave educators and children, some as young as age 12, descriptions of homosexual acts laced with graphic language and diagrams. Another class criticized “the religious right” and featured a video that likened the views of conservative Christians toward homosexuals with those of the Nazis against the Jews. Source: Don Hinkle: “Schools in the South listed as homosexual activist group’s target.”

• Omaha Schools Spend $130,000 in Stimulus Money to Buy 8,000 ‘Social Justice’ Diversity Manuals

  ““The book is sort of a combination of Freud meets Marx meets Barney meets Ben Stein in his role as the teacher in ‘Ferris Bueller’s Day Off,” Herald columnist Robert Nelson writes.”

  The blatant and persistent denigration of white people and the rejection of a ‘color blind’ approach has its roots in what Herbert Marcuse described as ‘repressive tolerance’. Loosely rendered – tolerate no other ideas or opinions except for the politically correct. Free speech fro me and not for thee.

  Our institutions of public education are in desperate need of a housecleaning of Biblical proportions.

• Update: Recorded NPR Exec Makes Resignation Immediate (With Juan Williams Reax)

  March 9, 2011 at 9:03am

  A response to one the usual local PBS ‘beg letters’:

  TO: Claude Kistler, KSPS station manager
  RE: Request for contribution

  Dear Claude,

  I received your letter asking me to contribute to Spokane’s ‘public’ television and radio stations. It was very kind of you to offer me a membership in what I’m sure is an exclusive and sophisticated group, the “Friends of Seven.” But something tells me that I might not fit in.

  Sure, you mention programming such as “The Antiques Roadshow,” NOVA and “Masterpiece Theater.” Great stuff, mostly. But you failed to mention some of the other programming that you routinely present. There’s your history of showing anti-Israel / pro-PLO programs such as “Days of Rage” and “The Faces of Arafat.” But this is hardly a recent phenomenon. Let’s go back ten years or so. In a well-documented example, NPR ran 32 – yes, that’s 32 – reports concerning Baruch Goldstein’s killing of Arabs in Hebron in February 1994. In each case, much time was spent on the type of weapon used, and the exact nature of the casualties was described in detail. By way of comparison, let’s look at NPR’s coverage of Arab terrorist attacks in that same time frame. Two months after Goldstein’s rampage, Hamas blew up an Israeli bus in Afula – multiple hideous casualties, body parts strewn about; NPR ran a total of 3 stories. One week later, Hamas bombed an Israeli bus in Hadera – same hideous toll; NPR ran 1 report about it, and like the previous report, no mention of the nature of the casualties. How about the October 1994 Tel Aviv bus bombing, which left 22 dead? Eight – count ‘em – eight whole stories on NPR – and one of them called Hamas “terrific community organizers” who help to “develop young people” and who promote “business projects like honey, cheese making, home-based manufacture.” You left out the hate preached in their schools and mosques, the “home-based” bomb- and rocket-making enterprises – yes, indeed – great “community organizers.” That’s about as fair and balanced as a carnival ring-toss game.

  Others besides myself notice that when Israeli men, women and children are slaughtered by these monsters, you merely call them ‘Israelis.’ True as far as it goes, but by failing to mention that the casualties are in fact men, women and children, your use of the sole term ‘Israeli’ is an attempt to strip them of their human identity. It’s an old propaganda trick, and pretty transparent to the attentive observer. But you seem to recover your sense of humanity when you report Palestinian casualties – NOW we hear about women and children and ‘unarmed’ men.

  I don’t know – perhaps I lack the sophistication, the requisite multicultural sensitivity to grant a pass to the Islamic Jihad and Hamas homicide bombers for what is, to NPR at any rate, an understandable and forgivable approach to dealing with Israel.

  I suppose that my outlook is positively Neanderthal by NPR’s lights because I can’t seem to nod my head with approval when you demonize gun owners and gun rights organizations. Perhaps you don’t recall – but I do – that, during an NPR news magazine and documentary broadcast, an NPR commentator, Bebe Moore Campbell, gave a harangue against the NRA for having attended a particular meeting. She said that the NRA had gone there to tell Korean merchants that blacks are criminals. She said that the NRA initials should stand for the “***** Removal Association.” She said that the NRA wanted sixteen year old boys to carry Uzis because “the gun would probably be used to kill a black person.” Well, hey – one man’s ‘hate speech’ is another man’s courageous crusade against evil gun owners, I suppose.

  Somehow, I don’t resonate to the upbeat, hopeful tone of voice your announcers use when the names of prominent leftists and socialists like Bill Clinton are mentioned versus the thinly veiled contempt evident when your announcers are obliged to utter the names of folks like Bush and Reagan.

  You bemoan the fact that only 24% of your funding comes from money taken under the threat of force and/or imprisonment from folks like me. That just breaks my heart. In a better, freer world, I’d have some say about the ‘redistribution’ of my hard-earned dollars to your essentially anti-American enterprise. And you would receive none:

  • I am not in the habit of supporting those whose views are diametrically opposed to my own.
  • I won’t contribute to those whose liberalism amounts to crimes against Man, nature, justice and reason.
  • I refuse to send so much as a penny to applauders of socialism, communism and any other tyrant who happens to oppose the United States.
  • I will not reward sympathizers of those who bomb innocent Israeli women and children.
  • I would have none of my hard-earned money go to those who regard duty, honor and a willingness to fight for one’s country as the sneering punch line to a liberal party joke.

  In short, you will receive nothing from me or my family, and I will actively work to see that you are defunded of the government subsidy that you currently receive. And by the way – your letter mentions your ‘slowing membership growth.’ Could your pro-tyranny, leftist bias have something to do with it? Ya think?

• Podesta: Obama Can Use ‘Armed Forces’ to Push Progressive Agenda

  November 18, 2010 at 7:25pm

  In reply to pamela kay.

  There’s a clear pedigree of ideas on display in the 0bama administration, and Alinsky’s methodologies are but one of the strands deeply woven into the DNA of leftist ideas. We can easily follow the line back to Rousseau and deSade, but for our modern era, we can look to Antonio Gramsci, Herbert Marcuse, Alinsky and the Cloward-Piven duo. The commonality that they share is that of the “long march through the institutions,” the subversion of popular culture, art, politics, language and religion – all with a view towards destroying and discrediting it all and replacing it with a grinding, totalitarian feudalism at best – or something far, far worse. We’ve had sufficient examples of just that latter case in the last century and this one, I think. So we can‘t say that it hasn’t been done.

  But the practitioners of the destructive Gramscian meme have an ugly surprise awaiting them, and it is this: Socialism, Communism and all of the various totalitarian ‘isms’ provide nothing more than the framework for the exercise of power – absolute power. Absolute, murderous power, as history has so clearly shown. So, no – they don’t work, and they were never intended to ‘work’ – outside of the minds of wishful thinkers and coercive utopians. The will to power as exercised within those frameworks is responsible for the slaughter of over 200 million people over the last 100 years or so – and the impoverishment and enslavement of hundreds of millions more.

  And unfortunately for us all, the same ideas that have animated history’s worst mass murderers have had a happy home in the White House for the past two years.

  If these monsters succeed in acquiring what they’ve striven for over the past few generations: absolute power – they will be quite content to live in a world lit only by fire, ruling from atop a stinking pile of rubble and corpses as long as they think that THEY will be the ones doing so. Millions of us dead. The rest of us in chains. That’s their goal, their vision, their unholy cause. Why? Because they can. Because it works for them.

  There will be only one way to stop them.
