Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”
~~John Adams
Hillary blames Trump, Bill Maher blames FoxNews and Drudge, Obama blames guns, yadda yadda yadda. It is all Kabuki Theater, an exercise in not letting a crisis go to waste and being the loudest in the room yelling SQUIRREL!!!
As the Progressives have pursued their agenda of creating a dependency class, an objective moral code is the first thing they needed to destroy. Collectivist ideologies (and racial supremacy or separatism is the crudest of collectivist impulses) cannot allow for moral decisions to reside in the individual.
I’ll lay odds this murderer (I refuse to use its name) had never stepped one foot into a church until it went to this one.
Leftists have pushed, nudged, bullied the notion that group identity based on inherent characteristics (sex, melanin level) is determinative of worth. Individuals don’t really exist and certainly have no control over their own fate. All “luck”, good or bad, that happens to so-call individuals is because of their group identity.
First you hollow out the individual of all responsibility and accountability, then you fill them up with a group-centric ideology based on a characteristic outside of their control.
Being part of the justice system, I routinely see defendants lay the blame for their own chosen, criminal behavior on a myriad of outside forces. Those are the people who end up as our “repeat customers”.
Church or synagogue attendance is far from any guarantee that any one individual will not engage in criminal behavior. However, it is akin to who is more likely to get lung cancer, smokers or non-smokers.
I’ll place my bets on the religious.
This Dylann Roof kid is certifiably crazy, and now we’ve got his “manifesto” with all kinds of hateful leftist segregationist and anti-Jewish memes. He’s no conservative. He’s a flag-burning leftist emo-prog: ‘Leftist Flag-Burner Dylann Roof’s ‘Last Rhodesian’ Manifesto Rooted in Democrat Party Ku Klux Klan Racism’.
heh, Donald, you beat me to linking you in the post. :-)
That “manifesto” is quite the exercise in unthinking recitation of the worst of group-identity hate rants.
My only quibble, please stop referring to the murderer as a “kid”.
taxpayer-funded national soros radio scrapes the very bottom muck out of the bullshit barrel to offer this:
Dylann Roof And The Stubborn Myth Of The Colorblind Millennial
dylan roof, mythbuster!
for fuck’s sake this is what they do with our tax dollars?
oops sorry i forgot the other n for dyldo
ah, 76 million “millennials” and it is only this heinous murderer that destroys a so-called myth.
plus if it’s just millennials what are all eated up the racism how does NPR explain Donald Trump’s pivotal role?
riddle me that
*** To The Officers of the First Brigade of the Third Division of the Militia of Massachusetts
QUINCY, October 11, 1798.
GENTLEMEN—
I HAVE received from Major-General Hull and Brigadier General Walker your unanimous address from Lexington, animated with a martial spirit, and expressed with a military dignity becoming your character and the memorable plains on which it was adopted.
While our country remains untainted with the principles and manners which are now producing desolation in so many parts of the world; while she continues sincere, and incapable of insidious and impious policy, we shall have the strongest reason to rejoice in the local destination assigned us by Providence. But should the people of America once become capable of that deep simulation towards one another, and towards foreign nations, which assumes the language of justice and moderation while it is practising iniquity and extravagance, and displays in the most captivating manner the charming pictures of candor, frankness, and sincerity, while it is rioting in rapine and insolence, this country will be the most miserable habitation in the world; because we have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion. Avarice, ambition, revenge, or gallantry, would break the strongest cords of our Constitution as a whale goes through a net. Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.
An address from the officers commanding two thousand eight hundred men, consisting of such substantial citizens as are able and willing at their own expense completely to arm and clothe themselves in handsome uniforms, does honor to that division of the militia which has done so much honor to its country.
Oaths in this country are as yet universally considered as sacred obligations. That which you have taken and so solemnly repeated on that venerable spot, is an ample pledge of your sincerity and devotion to your country and its government.
JOHN ADAMS. ***
So, about the Quasi-War then.
And, y’know, the principle at the time was the propriety of signing the Alien and Sedition Acts. Against the wishes of the godless Democratic-Republicans, led by that notorious atheist Thomas Jefferson.
Sdferr, I’m appearently a bit dense today. It’s like you poised a riddle I can’t quite tease out. Speak plainly, I beg you…what are you really trying to say?
Is it just me or does that manifesto seem awfully rote?
As in, the kid was interested in carnage and mayhem FIRST, then went shopping for a cause to justify it, because notoriety is much more fun when you link it to a higher cause.
What he wrote sounds more like “this is what a white supremacist says” than anything bubbling out of the depths of his Significant Angst. Notice there are no personal anecdotes about Bad Encounters With Black People but rather simple boilerplate that he picked up somewhere.
There was also zero passion to it. Granted, a sociopath isn’t much of an emotional animal, but they are good at faking it.
Given that he shopped around for a place to shoot up—a mall and a university, neither of which would be a “black target”—I’m thinking that his 6-month-old racism was concocted to enable him to kill, not the other way around.
di
also note in its “manifesto” that the murderer laments being able to find accomplices.
Kinda puts a dent in the “ALL SOUTHERN WHITES ARE RACIST RWNJs!!”
di: RSM or someone he retweeted pointed out that if you look at a pic of Manson, he’s got ‘crazy eyes’, but our modern mass-murderers tend to have ‘dead inside already’ eyes. Possibly as a result of all the “stop being so annoyingly boyish, you boys!” drugs they stuff into the kids these days.
Manson reflects the can-do, go-getting spirit of America in the ’50s and ’60s. Sure, he might have been a bit ‘kooky’, but he was very clearly an ambitious man-with-a-plan.
Roof, on the other hand, is a fitting symbol for the “just f***ing kill me already” dispair of a 2015 America that’s only still running on inertia, if anything at all.
Church or synagogue attendance is far from any guarantee that any one individual will not engage in criminal behavior.
Church membership is like gym membership: belonging to a gym does not make you an athlete in the slightest degree.
Neither does wandering around the floor in your gym togs, towel around your neck, and a hydration facilitation device (water bottle) in your hand as you check out those who actually are exercising.
Or doing a couple-three minutes on a treadmill or a stationary bike once a week.
Or being diligent in January and half of February and never again.
Gym membership can be worthless or it can be fruitful, depending on the dedication and perseverance of the individual. It requires showing up when you totally don’t want to, enduring pain and discomfort, and generally doing a lot of boring, rote stuff that is beneficial nonetheless.
Also to be noted is that a person can get into shape without joining a gym, but they still have to work out, still have to sweat, still have to be dedicated and persevere.
So next time someone asks why so many church members are rotten eggs, just lay the gym membership analogy on them: same principles apply, and probably the same bell curve.
Possibly as a result of all the “stop being so annoyingly boyish, you boys!” drugs they stuff into the kids these days.
Do we know whether he was on ADDerall or any other mood-altering meds?
He was busted for possession of some stuff you use to get off opiates. He may have been tweaking when he committed the massacre. Who knows?
But the smirk he laid on the cameras when caught indicates to me that he’s more likely a sociopath/psychopath—a bad seed from the off either because of a brain lesion in the frontal lobe or low Serotonin sensitivity. Not because of abuse or other environmental factors.
How else do you sit there for an hour amid those sweet, sweet people and still massacre them in cold blood?
That plus his shopping around for a place to shoot up and his failure to actually join up with Stormfront (having taken “Storm” as his middle name the way many of those freaks do) indicates that mayhem was his first goal; starting a race war was a pretext.
Consider this as indicative of just what the leadership of the Democrats think about the mental and emotional maturity of those in the identity group they call African-American.
**** Longtime Democratic strategist Bob Shrum said on MSNBC Friday…
[…]
“I cannot imagine the horror that could’ve occurred if people were sitting around with concealed weapons, this thing started and you had a full-scale gunfight,” Shrum said Friday. “You might not even have three survivors.” ****
One wonders how they forgot and left out “losing” from the appellation “longtime [losing] Democratic strategist Bob Schrum”, since losing has been Shrum’s distinctive way? Well, that, plus the insertion of the rhetorical “I’ll Fight” into the mouth of just about every candidate in every campaign he’s ever run. And lookee there, Hillary has adopted it too.
That Shrum guy is dead on. Everyone knows once the guns come out the shooting doesn’t stop until everyone is dead. Then the last one shoots himself. It’s just the nature of guns, you guys should know this…
Or just a kid who could be anyone, except for the toads squirming in his head.
Easier that way, so’s the enlightened can shrug it off.
Black people used to oppose the klan. By the 70’s they were so successful that the old Klan was literally restricted to the woods and dying out. Some of those who opposed them gave up and decided to form their own klan. And they first thing they did was declare it racist and pro-Klan to appose their new klan. The 2nd thing was they got creepy faux revolutionary academics to proclaim that racism could only be white since black people are entitled to say and do the same stuff without it being stigmatized because they declared that white people always had power and black people NEVER had it even if it appeared otherwise.
And now no one is arguing about what is right in front of them but what they are allowed to think ought to be in front of them if they don’t want to be a pro-Klan racist.
The deck is stacked. It’s the same old bamboozle.
A sicko couldn’t even find any klan to hook up for his grandiose atrocity with yet he is all of southern culture and white america and an evil magical mind controlling flag and the GOP and the 2nd amendment?
“That Shrum guy is dead on.”
Canada should change their name to “inert object fearing quivering pussy-land”.
And I don’t mean cat or vagina when I say pussy. I mean a cowardly passive weakling doormat smeared on gluten-free milquetoast.
