Satch has another wrestling camp — actually, it began yesterday — and as I’m home with the baby while my wife is away on business, I’ll be trundling him up and packing him along, too. Which doesn’t leave me with a lot of time to comment.
Still, I wanted to highlight newrouter’s inspired quip, which I’ve used to headline this post.
After more reflection, I can honestly say that all those pollyannas on the GOP-side who rubbed their chins thoughtfully and told you for years that Obama was just another garden-variety liberal with the country’s best interests at heart, and that the “extremists” on the fringe right — with their Visigothic raping and pillaging of the language (I mean, some of us actually called a man committed to re-distributing wealth, forming a transnational progressivist centralized global bureaucratic government, and nationalizing entire industries while systematically undermining the middle class and the capitalist system, a “Marxist”, a “socialist”, and a “liberal fascist”, if you can even believe our terribly unhelpful and decidedly unnuanced audacity!) — were an embarrassing detriment to any hope the GOP had to ever becoming the “Party of the 100%”, have done as much damage to the country as the perpetrators.
Because what their plans were were clear to see. In fact, it took willful blindness not to see it, particularly given Obama’s background, his training, and then his appointments. And when Rush Limbaugh had the balls early on to desire the failure of those plans, he was excoriated and dismissed by Republicans climbing all over each other to distance themselves from such inflammatory rhetoric.
Many Republicans, blind, longing to be considered the “thinking” kind of conservatives — Mitch McConnell, you’ll remember, told us that the GOP was in danger of becoming a regional party, this two years before the biggest grass roots reversal of political fortunes ever, as the TEA Party retook the House, narrowed the Senate, and overtook numerous state houses and governorships — gave cover to the machinations of big government leftism.
And even today, the GOP establishment seeks to be liked rather than to promote an agenda that will force those invested in the idea of liberty to come to them, even if it is reluctantly at first.
Obama has turned the presidency into a lawless, post-constitutional seat of imperial power, where executive discretion rules; his DOJ is a politicized disgrace, featuring an Attorney General who had people fired on his way to ensuring commutations for Puerto Rican Separatist terrorists, represented Muslim extremists while in private practice, and who know has turned the full weight of his office not on some terror group (like, for instance, the Mexican drug cartels he helped arm), but rather on a private citizen who had the temerity to refuse to be beaten to death, an offense that frustrates the sensibilities of totalitarian-minded politicians who believe we need to be disarmed so that, as with an increasing number of other things, we are forced to live in fear and rely on the government to act as our protectors.
In 5 years we’ve watched this country change dramatically. Fundamental transformation. And the TEA Party revolution merely moved career political animals in the GOP into positions of power, from which they still aim to strike deals with Democrats, grow the government, and blast their electoral benefactors as Hobbits whose taxes need some looking into.
The ruling class vs. the rest of us, is what I’ve been calling it for years now.
From the outside. Because that’s where I was exiled to, so that the very same people who 4 years ago were sneering at our Purist extremism can now don the mantle of hard-core True Believers who will lead us in the fight to take back our country.
The one they helped piss away with their “pragmatic” white board politics and their rah-rah Team Republican electoral strategies.
You’ve often heard me say, how we get there matters. Well, there’s a corollary to that: who we get there with matters, too. Because many on the ostensible right merely want to make the right noises; following through is another matter entirely, a point at which we learn that things are far more “complicated” than our little bitterclinging lizard brains could ever hope to understand.
Fuck them all. Rearways. With a cold, mid-sized replica Liberty Bell.

Do we riot now, or….
The current GOP’s strategy seems to be divide and conquer, except they’re practicing it on classical liberals, not the progressive, Marxist Left. They want us to believe there is no place to go and if we have the audacity to take our money and votes someplace else, we’ll be doomed, doomed, doomed.
What these clowns fail to realize, in their desire to hold on to their places on the public teat, is that they’re playing with fire. Some of us have noticed what’s going on for awhile now. More are noticing. We’ve done nothing yet, because the country hasn’t been irretrievably screwed heretofore.
Now, many of us find ourselves faced with our worst fears: Tyrannical Executive Branch, Feckless Legislature and a Judicial Branch which is more interested on being elected Beltway Prom Queen than the Constitution. In other words, the barbarians are at the gates.
I’d riot over it, but I have work to do and stuff like that.
Plus, it sounds like a righteous shoot. So there’s that.
Young guys are punks. The stupidest ones get themselves killed.
Now that we know Trayvon Martin thought he was beating up a gay man, the shooting becomes what if Matthew Shepard had been armed?
What is the situation when the jurors of a public trial are required — for purposes of their own safety — to keep their identities secret, taking on anonymous letter-number designations in place of names? Sum’pins already extremely fucked up in this society, seems plain on its face.
I was on a jury – not a public big deal – but I sure as shit want my name to be private. We put that guy away for twenty years, and I live in Detroit.
Nope. I wanted my name private.
That’s fine as a choice you understand you have to take Carin, but the question is whether we can come to terms with a time when such a recourse was entirely unnecessary, whether we can understand how such a situation itself could exist and how and why the change has come about that the former situation is now made impossible?
No need to think about any of that. On the left the identity group is nothing when the cause demands that they “heel.”
Just as with the feminists who supported WJC’s “right” to poke/pork interns, so too the LGBT crowd will bend over willingly for the Party and not ask for a reach around in return. Party uber alles.

Until the party is required to sacrifice them. It will happen. It always does with the sword of identity politics. Live by it; die by it.
Stand your ground laws, what they are and why they were passed.
“If Trayvon Martin hadn’t been a homophobe he might be alive today.”

Gad, di. That is one of those head-desk types of stories, for sure.
It is important to note that under the racism formula summarized above that removing “whites” from the equation changes nothing. A black man for example can never be racists against anyone. Asians or Latinos for example.
Ill never be a great thinker. I could never come up with this.
I have it on good authority from my Asian friends that all persons who are not Asian (and some who are, depending on their country of origin) are inferior to Asians.
It’s just a fact, they say.

Try a headdesk, bgbear. It’s the sound of someone trying to pound a thought into their head. Maybe it works. In Laurie Pennie’s case, it’s going to take quite a few goes.
I call them Commiecrats for a reason. If you want to call the RINOs “fellow travelers”, OK too.
If a fish undergoing catch-and-release were armed and shot the fisherman, would that be second-degree murder?
Nope. It would be self-defense, because the fish has no way of knowing whether he will be thrown back or thrown into a bucket for eating.

Well if they carry a gun despite hasty attempts to change the law or at least how prosecutors interpret it, then I suspect the sport will rapidly lose its popularity and the word will go out that White hispanics will fuckin’ kill you and they don’t cringe when you say ‘slavery’. They think they are being attacked by crazy people that they can’t reason with so they are quick to pull triggers and cover shit up. And they get away with it a lot and they cover each other’s backs. So seek fatter whiter more isolated game that knows its political place and will let you thump the head until you are good and done and won’t snitch afterward.

There is a fundamental thuggishness about the origins of the Nazis, sure ‘nough. The evident parallels here are getting to be too stark to overlook. Weird too, how the Nazis were all about a nonsensical race teaching, isn’t it?
Yeah about that. You’d think reprocessed, reformulated Marxist claptrap would be old by now. I’m tired of people like this Laurie Penny person judging me for the color of my skin. I can’t help it that I was born white, you know.
The Trayvon mother agrees with the maintenance of the show trial:
*** “This is sending out a terrible message to young teenagers,” she added. “Trayvon was walking too slow. So should they be walking too fast? You know, so I don’t think teenagers at home know exactly what to do now.” ***
It would be simpler had The Trayvon mother explained to the confused children of negritude the truth: that Trayvon himself was a confused thug who brought about his own demise by attacking a man unnecessarily. But truth is dangerous. Better, she thinks, to keep it from herself, and if herself, all the more so the children.

He’s conveniently dead, SW.
This was; along with shot the unarmed, harmless teen; the main lie which was pushed out on March 7th 2012 by Crump & Parker assisted by Reuters, AP, and CBS with their lying animations of the event. The payday for the law firm depended on getting this storyline into public circulation.
I want sanctions on Crump & Park and Associates. Surrender of their law licenses would be good, too. And monetary damages in the millions for the Zimmerman’s.
To quote a charming rake and rogue from the Old World Old School:

…
A show trial from the start
Via Glenn Reynolds, who adds, “[f]rankly, for the government to help organize and manage rallies and protests against an individual charged with a crime looks like a civil rights violation to me. I hope Zimmerman’s lawyers go ahead and sue[.] The discovery process will be fascinating.”
I think that is more accurate as the protests were originally to get Zimmerman arrested. Once he was arrested that opened the door, under Florida law, to there being civil lawsuits over the death of Trayvon. This was the most important thing for the Martin family and their law firm.
Has O’Mara filed to indemnify Zimmerman against any liability for damages that a civil suit would bring? I know it was talked about, but other than the protestin’ and lootin’ in California (what?), I haven’t seen much more about GZ. I assume he is lying low and letting his lawyers do the talking, as he should.
Astute observation geoff.
From Ernst’s link above.
The CBS morning news coverage, which I’ve linked to before, was the show which had the animation which had Zimmerman shooting Trayvon without any reason except race. Plus it had the Martin family and Ben Crump walking a reporter through the scene relating their version of the event on camera and how wonderful Trayvon was as a kid.
There you go. If it was on TV, it must be true.
Do you suppose CBS created the animation themselves, or did Crump & Park and associates provide to them?
“was the show which had the animation which had Zimmerman shooting Trayvon without any reason except race ”
trying to taint the jury pool?
Best Bond girl ever, Ernst. Hands down.
Of that I’m not sure but what was shown at that link was shown in another CBS show with a bit longer animated piece and another one showing a completely different scenario in which Zimmerman beats up Trayvon and then shoots him at close range was shown on the Charlie Rose show. Both those are on Youtube. Here and here.
Said so myself on many occassions, and will maintain until the day I day that, had Sean Connery stuck around for it, OHMSS would have been the best film of the entire franchise.
Oops second link.
Clever of Zimmerman to bruise up Martin’s knuckles with his nose and the back of his head like that. What won’t those white-hispanics do when they take into their heads to shoot little black boys?
It has that golden toned ring of the “truthy.”
This: “continue to act in a manner that is consistent with the facts and the law”, and this: ” what he called “the tragic, unnecessary shooting death of Trayvon Martin”, are mutually exclusive unless they admit that Trayvon was the party responsible for his own death, and thus one is (or both are) either wrong or a lie.
That “hold all evidence” looks suspiciously like an underhanded means to deny Mr. Zimmerman the return of his property, namely, his firearm, holster and clothes.

New Black Panthers Conspire to Violate 18 USC 245, Holder Snoozes
*** “Blackness is another issue entirely apart from class in America. No matter how affluent, educated and mobile [a black person] becomes, his race defines him more particularly than anything else. Black people have a common cause that requires attending to, and this cause does not allow for the rigid class separation that is the luxury of American whites. There is a sense in which every black man is as far from liberation as the weakest one if his weakness is attributable to racial injustice.”
When asked to explain the passage, Holder replied, “It really says that … I am not the tall U.S. attorney, I am not the thin United States attorney. I am the black United States attorney. And he was saying that no matter how successful you are, there’s a common cause that bonds the black United States attorney with the black criminal or the black doctor with the black homeless person.” ***

This is a choice that was made by the US civil rights movement around 1964. To weld their entire being to the cause of the far left, the “New Left”. This “choice” is now an enforced one and what is enforced is much more than “black” but is an entire way of living, speaking, and thinking that must be done every minute of every day, or else bad things will befall you.

“The essentialism is strong with this one”, says the wizard about the AG.
I’d have gone with Marxist dialectic myself.
And the first adjectival modifier that pops to my mind when I think of Eric Holder is the corrupt Attorney General.
Duplicitous, decietful, partisan, crooked, lying, contemptible and dispicable all come to mind before black as well.
It’s closer to Aryan race theory than anything particularly Marxist I think, albeit substituting Black for Aryan, at least on the basis of the face of the quotation he carries around in his wallet.
It is, sdferr. Almost, if not quite, a critical race theory.
You gotta believe that CJ Roberts’ statement from a couple of terms ago that (gisting) “if we aim to cease discriminating on the basis of race we have to stop discriminating on the basis of race” has crawled up Holder’s ass and taken eternal root in his hate organ (otherwise known as his brain — which wouldn’t be all that far distant from his anus in any event).
A short crawl indeed. Holder and that woman who blogged or tweeted about how all whites are hatey racists and always will be, should get together for a chance for Holder to berate her face to face. She might even let him smack her around—all in the name of reparations, and that.
It’d do them both a world of good. Us? Not so much.
It isn’t exactly power that corrupts but immunity that power can, but not always, grant. The result of years of crying racism has been a grant of immunity for those who follow the will of the left and consider themselves as black, no matter their actual pigmentation or ancestry.
This grant of immunity destroys both the immune and all around them as is seen in the wreckage of 51 years of black Democrat administration of Detroit. Absolute immunity makes for absolute corruption. And who is more absolutely immune than Holder, but his boss.
Trouble is that immunity card only plays domestically. It has no worth overseas and its value even here is falling except among the ruling class who still believe it to be solid gold not the drossy thing it is becoming.
Critical race theory is Marxism with the racial dialectic supplanting the material. Think of privilege as the equivalent of “controlling the means of production.”
The dross keeps coming.
I love it. When they refuse to lend you money, it’s because they’re racist. When they agree to lend you money, it’s because they’re racist. If they misplace your loan application, it’s because they’re racist.

*** Ignorance of the causes, and original constitution of right, equity, law, and justice, disposeth a man to make custom and example the rule of his actions; in such manner as to think that unjust which it hath been the custom to punish; and that just, of the impunity and approbation whereof they can produce an example or (as the lawyers which only use this false measure of justice barbarously call it) a precedent; like little children that have no other rule of good and evil manners but the correction they receive from their parents and masters; save that children are constant to their rule, whereas men are not so; because grown strong and stubborn, they appeal from custom to reason, and from reason to custom, as it serves their turn, receding from custom when their interest requires it, and setting themselves against reason as oft as reason is against them: which is the cause that the doctrine of right and wrong is perpetually disputed, both by the pen and the sword: whereas the doctrine of lines and figures is not so; because men care not, in that subject, what be truth, as a thing that crosses no man’s ambition, profit, or lust. For I doubt not, but if it had been a thing contrary to any man’s right of dominion, or to the interest of men that have dominion, that the three angles of a triangle should be equal to two angles of a square, that doctrine should have been, if not disputed, yet by the burning of all books of geometry suppressed, as far as he whom it concerned was able. ***

OMG. that is FRIGHTENING that a man with this narrow way of thinking has so much power.
What is the disillusionment among black people that they feel some bond based on skin pigmentation? They CHOOSE that. It’s not based on anything else but a desire to continue their victimhood.
And it’s based on a lie, by someone who lives in a gated community away from the dregs of society. That “bond” really is nothing more than politics.
Otherwise he’d give a shit about all the black kids who die at the hands of other black folks. Or the shitty education system. Or the shitty parenting that leads these kids astray in the first place.
He’s really got brass, doesn’t he? He’s the Attorney General of the United States. His wife is an obstetrician. Their three kids go to schools mine could never afford in a million years and he’s Down with the Struggle?
Fuck him. The man is a fool. A dangerous fool.
The only “bond” he has with a black criminal or homeless person is how it can work to his political advantage.
If there’s a God, he can bond with his peoples while he’s in the slammer.
We’ve seen the race pimps continue on for decades w/o ever having a come to Jesus moment.
So I’m not holding my breath that Holder will ever be held accountable for his words and actions.
