Being Banned from Alternet

A few months back a friend of mine posted an article from "Alternet" concerning why public schools suck so badly these day.  The article was complete rubbish but what fascinated me were the comments section (as is the case with nearly every article I read).  The *ahem* article was focused on how the religious right are at fault for the failing public schools.  As I said... rubbish. The comments section was overflowing with noting but sycophantic yes-men all chiming in with nothing but total agreement with a heaping pile of tired cliches (e.g. Republikkkans are the devil, they hate women, they hate poor people, want to see them all drink dirty water and die, and various other gems).

Enter The Bearded Bow Tie Guy (that's me, queue dramatic music).  With one simple post asking them to prove the misogyny and racism, it exploded.  I received SO many replies to this with all sort of "proof" such as "the proof is in the pudding!" and "how can you not see that?" and my personal fave.. "You're obviously too obtuse to think on our level here."  Ahh.... the fond memories.  I digress...

Recent case of the Mike Brown shooting in Ferguson MO drew a lot of the same comments.  Some were, sorry to say, EXTREMELY racist toward white people.  I know that most of you on the left are like... "so? that's acceptable!"  WRONG!!  If you mark out ANY group of people and make comments akin to extermination, you are no better than the swastika sporting knee boots that stomped all over Europe mid last century.  If you sanction those acts, yes, even by "liking" them or "voting them up," you're wearing the shiny black knee boots too my friend. 

So, by asking the same questions and painting scenarios for them to try and get them to see their racism, I got the boot from their site.  HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!  *Note to self: slide that one on the calendar as a red-letter day.  There was no explanation and no reply to my inquiry why as of this posting. 

NONE of my postings were racist in any way shape or form.  Unless of course you're an overly sensitive liberal or girlyman.  But I repeat myself...

A Little 'Slight of Phrase"

Picked this up off social media comments today…

“There are historic parallels to how another extreme party turned a different democratic government in Europe into a dictatorship. One rule at a time, slow erosion.”

Oddly enough, the author was referring to the Republicans in the House and their purported part in the current shutdown. 

I say ‘oddly’ because as many of you know, the NAZI party name translates in to “National Socialist German Workers' Party.”   Newsflash… there is one of the two major parties that leans toward socialism in this country… just sayin. 

To further your edification on this you may want to check out a book called “Liberal Fascism: by Jonah Goldberg.   This book lays it all out as to how the Left in this country is, in fact, far closer to the Nazi party than the Right as portrayed in various media outlets.  

Interestingly enough, I never heard the phrase “Godwin’s’ Law” passed around so much until AFTER Mr. Goldberg’s book came out.  I think partly because since then, and the following year when Obama was elected, many have learned from his book and turned the charges of Nazism back toward the place it belongs. (See Notable Examples)

Face it, if the left in this country had their way, we would be controlled in our speech (re: political correctness) controlled in our habits (smoke in a building much these days?) and controlled in how we live our lives in general.  And these are just a few examples of how the Left actually works to control the nation… a few elites in DC telling the rest of us how to live our lives.  Think about it folks… this is where we’re headed.  Socialism has been creeping up on us for the past century at least.  

**Caveat:  The right in this country isn’t much better.  There are some in the Republican Party that are in lockstep with the Democrats and wouldn’t bat an eye at pushing through socialistic legislation designed to control.  Oddly enough, one of the first 'side-steppers' of the Constitution in our history was a Republican.  

An Article That Actually Makes Me Throw Up In My Mouth A Little...

Click here to view Wow... just wow.

Are you freakin kidding me???

First off, I think it’s VERY telling that this writer won’t mention the political party that fought tooth-and-nail to keep an entire people in bondage as well as supported the Jim Crow laws.  Guilty conscious anyone? 

This is a prime example of how the LSD crowd is resorting to petty name-calling and highly inaccurate comparisons to try and stir up their followers to frenzy.  Calling the stalwart House Republicans the “New Confederacy?”  Really?  Project much?

Mr. King… please provide concrete proof that the invalidation of key parts of the Voting Rights Act will result in groups of people having their right to vote taken away.  Waiting…

“Hold on to that Confederate money, y’all. Jim Crow just might rise again.”  It has risen again Mr. King.  It’s in the form of your ilk convincing millions of minorities that they are unable to function without the Government standing over them legislating fairness.  There was a point in time during our history when (Americans of African Decent) AOAD had a strong family bond, off-the-chart work ethic, and considered education, articulation, and hard work to be virtues.  Many, unfortunately have bought in to the hype that the deck is stacked against them and have given up.  Maybe it’s my days on active duty when I worked with (and for) many individuals that were not male, not white, and could work and manage circles around many a white male.  I refuse to believe that any one group is incapable of success and needs Big Brother to give them a hand up (out?).  The LSDs lost the fight to keep people in chains so now they resort to making them dependent.  This monstrous ACA that will effectively exercise control over our health choices (with the IRS in the lead no less) is just another attempt to control (bind) every citizen of this great nation.

I would say “shame on you” but I know that’s a concept long forgotten by LSDs.  I am certain that there are many like-minded readers of yours who have read, shared, and smugly saying to themselves “Boom!”  But to those of us who took the Red Pill, this is an entertaining piece of fiction at best.

Blame Game Anyone? How Abour A Sprinkle of Pettiness?

So let me get this straight… the Republican-led House has sent multiple amendments to the Democrat-led Senate along with offers to meet and discuss. As I understand it, the House has actually conceded from their earlier position of totally defunding the ACA to delaying it and requiring that our elected ‘leaders’ receive the same plan that’s being foisted on the rest of us. (Isn’t that compromise?) The Senate has ignored the compromises and refuses to meet with them; but it’s the Republican’s fault?

Can someone please explain this to me? 

While we’re at it… could you also please explain the absolute pettiness of the Left these days?  One only has to watch some of these articles being posted on social media as well as (ahem) “journalists” to see a TON of name-calling(childish) and tired descriptive (bomb’s strapped to their chest, extortion, gun to our heads, etc).  When will the LSD crowd grow the hell up and come and talk, negotiate, and compromise like grown folk??

Sorry folks, the ACA (Obamacare) was, and still is, a VERY unpopular piece of legislation back when it was rammed through both the House and Senate (both controlled by Dems at the time).  So you can’t expect me to have ANY sympathy for you when a group of duly-elected representatives stand up to these shameless tactics!  

Shame on you all for being so petulant that your signature prize of socialism is being railroaded!  Boo freakin hoo!!!
