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.
