D-I-V-O-R-C-E

You know who deserves a posthumous Medal of Honor? James Earl Ray [the confessed assassin of Martin Luther King]. We miss you, James. Godspeed.
What the Limbaugh Quote
Hoax Really Tells Us



 In his examination of today's schizo left, Chicago Boy Shannon Love basically validates my own theory.  That they are rabid dogs to be very much feared. Here's a cut  from What the Limbaugh Quote Hoax Really Tells Us -
Watching so many serious journalists and leftist political figures fall for the fake Rush Limbaugh quotes tells us something very frightening about what leftists believe true about non-leftist America. I say, “frightening,” because we evaluate the level of threat that others pose based on our understanding of the amorality of their beliefs. Then we rationalize the harshness of the methods we are willing to employ against them based on our threat assessment. We are much more willing to use draconian methods against people we view as extremely evil than we are against people we judge less evil. As a nation, we were willing to employ much more draconian methods to defeat fascism than we employed to fight anyone else. The same basic principle applies to our internal conflicts as well. The more extreme and dangerous we view our political and social opponents as being, the more tolerant we become of extreme measures to oppose them.

Given this, what does it portend for American non-leftists that a wide and powerful swath of the American left apparently believes it quite credible that a major media figure with an audience in the tens of millions looks back fondly on slavery and approves of political assassination? What draconian methods could those leftists rationalize using if they really believe they are fighting people with such values?

As I have written before, immersion in fantasy is a defining aspect of leftism. As they move progressively towards the left pole of the political spectrum, the realities become more and more immersive while becoming more and more detached from reality. At the far end of the spectrum, the leftists become delusional to the point they believe they are trapped in a gotterdammerung struggle of good versus evil that justifies any action they might take in fighting that struggle. When dangerous fantasies, once the providence of the 5% most radical left, become accepted as true in the 40% just to the left of center, the rest of us are in great danger.

He concludes that Limbaugh is only the "visible  manifestation"of  a fearsome mid-wing America that we know as you and me." His judgment that "They are targeting the rest of us as well"  begs for a possible course of action.   Does he believe in any realistic, nonviolent, way of regaining control of our government?  How?  He stops short, I guess,  because people who do venture into that arena enter into a very black place indeed.  And get their names put on a list.  Ahem.

BTW, I do realize that calling the left out this way will validate their own twisted misapprehensions.  So, there you have it.  One faction can no longer live with the other.  Divorce, a very nasty divorce,  is probably in order.

Well hell, Rodger, aren't all conservatives "threatening the president"? Guess we'll have to be arrested too, like the guy in NJ.
NTM, when's the last time simple graffiti made news; especially if it stated KillBush!

I'm already on it and therefore don't care.

The best way to deal with a "rabid dog" is to shoot it.
