The inspiration deserves a hat tip: Paul Harvey – If I Were the Devil, circa 1963.
Exactly. The left’s Screwtape Letters constitute proof of their functional evil. Progressive leftism is a dysfunction and must be treated as such, especially when the patient becomes virulent and violent. It is not a valid world view or ideology. It is disorder given a formal identity and strangely, a co-equal place in society.
From B Moe above, that Evan Sayet address at Heritage is a real eye-opener. The sort of analysis that explains how self-contradictory behavior emerges from a single principle. Particulary interesting is how he explains the liberal moral imperative against any discrimination and any single moral code (multiculti!) inevitably produces constant discrimination and something that is in fact indistinguishable from a single, universal morality of failure.
George, Insty posted a link to a lecture on Marx a couple of days ago, which also pins down the origin of the contradiction, and the terrible consequences of it.
The left is nothing but contradictions, one of my favorite bar games is pointing them out to friends.
The other day a youngster was explaining how there is no difference between blacks and white, if whites scored better on tests the tests were obviously biased. I asked how the test could be biased if there was no difference.
“I am betting we won’t be seeing “dog whistle” used much on the lefty blogs anytime soon.”
I don’t mean to be disagreeably picky B Moe, but I’m not at all sure that the left has even understood the underlying meaning of the DogEatingMan stories — not, at least, to the extent that they’d feel it necessary to modify their language or rhetoric to avoid a harm.
That is, they don’t, in the main, even perceive the potential for harm to Obama in the stories, so ready are they to dismiss the ridicule as “childish” or utterly lacking in substantive content. They just don’t get it. Which in its own way, makes a kind of sense. After all, they put the man into office and agree with his every precept. Far be it from them to grasp the meaning of the ridicule as fingering Obama as entirely alien to America.

You missed my Twitter account being pestered by a guy who insists race pimps is a dog whistle for blacks I don’t agree with. Rather than, you know, race pimps. Who happen to be black.
Here’s a section of the Hot Air right up on this video:
I don’t think Democrats want America to fail any more than Republicans do, and I don’t think this is really the message of this video. But there is an immense contrast in the vision of what a successful America means between the left and the right. For many Americans, I daresay most, an America that seeks to maintain a facade of shared prosperity by confiscating more and more resources from the most productive among us, and placing them at the disposal of power-seekers in Washington D.C., is not a vision of success at all. It’s a recipe for decline, and friction in our society at a time when we should be seeking out and supporting more effective, and unifying, solutions to the challenges we face.
Why this need to bend over backwards to defend the honor of those who constantly show they lack it?
Why this need to grant good faith motivations to good men in the absence of any supporting evidence?
Enough already. We get it. You are reasonable, collegial men. Now go away and write a couple articles for
Reasonable and Collegial Quarterly
while the rest of us try honesty for awhile.
(Yes, those are rhetorical questions as we’ve obviously covered this ground before.)
Hi Mr. Morgen nota and also bene: Democrats want to turn America into a bankrupt food stamp whorestate what smells like urine.
They fucking hate America. America is that bitch in high school who never talked to them, and now that they have power they’re gonna rape her and rape her and rape her and leave her bloody corpse in that ditch Obama’s always nattering on about.
“If I wanted America to fail”
i ‘d do bush-clinton-bush-obama-romney-clinton. ruling class fun.

“If I wanted America to fail, I suppose I wouldn’t change a thing.”
Hey, isn’t that what David Axelrod was just saying?
A Golden Oldie than bears reviewing.

h/t Maggies Farm and the other McCain.
I watch that video about every year, B Moe. I need to remind myself about that often what the left is really about.
BTW, I just watched the video in this post. Very powerful.
That’s a damn good video.
the video reminds me of who I thought Rick Perry was before I realized he was functionally retarded
Well, he does come from Texas, feets…

That the Left is evil is obvious. But human beings believe what they want to believe.

You could see her brain lock up in her eyes.
Busted! By the people who brought you the John Edwards “love child” debacle.
Michelle Obama “master-mind” behind Ann Romney smear.
B Moe, I hope you had the right fire extinguisher handy.
coded dog whistle…
No giving this President any dog whistles. He’ll use it as a goddamn hunting tool.
I am betting we won’t be seeing “dog whistle” used much on the lefty blogs anytime soon.
Keith Olberman says all this dog talk is a distraction.

They like to think he IS America.

Jeez. Write up not right up.
It really is impossible to overestimate their stupidity.
And an html fail. Maybe I should just have a beer and see if there is a game on.

Safe to say Lt. Col. Frank Slade would take a flamethrower to that place.

This “fail” movie may not be classified as hobbity just yet.
Andy posted it over on Ace this afternoon at 4:36pm (Eastern I assume?) Maybe it has a milk chocolate pragmatism center under the visigothy shell.

Ace reposted it at 10:00AM. I guess he woke up feelin’ hobbity. S’okay. Romney’s advisors will take care of that.
