The Manifesto of the Modern Protester
I found the following in the archives of my first weblog. The hyperlink has long been dead. The author is Nicholas Antongiavanni. Curiously timely in light of the antics of the 'Occupy Wall Street' crowd. This may be only an excerpt. I cannot find the original document. 1. No ill is so trivial that it can be…

A Bit of Freedom Comes to Castro’s Island
Fidel Castro came to power in 1959. In his socialist worker's paradise home ownership was legally forbidden until just now. Suppose you were 30 in '59, at the age when many are in a position to buy a house for the first time. Well, now you are 82 with a year to live. You can…

Demands of the ‘Occupy Wall Street’ Protesters
Here is a list of their individually puerile and jointly inconsistent demands. One wonders how Demand nine: Open borders migration; anyone can travel anywhere to work and live is consistent with Demand two: Institute a universal single payer healthcare system and Demand four: Free college education. Libertarians believe in the foolish notion of open borders,…

The Great Obama Catharsis
A brilliant article by Victor Davis Hanson. Makes the case that we are really better off with Obama than we would have been with McCain. Punning on 'catharsis,' a witty commenter writes, "We have met the enema, and his name is Obama." Obama will precipitate a Huge Dump which will void us of the crap of leftism.…

‘Politicization,’ National Debt, and Global Warming
The Republicans were accused of 'politicizing' the debt crisis. But how can you politicize what is inherently political? The debt in question is the debt of the federal government. Since a government is a political entity, questions concerning federal debts are political questions. As inherently political, such questions cannot be politicized. If to hypostatize is…

Why Pay Taxes . . .
. . . when the government fails to do what it is constitutionally mandated to do such as secure the borders (Article I, Section 8), yet does all sorts of things for which there is no constitutional justification? Or has my reading of the U. S. Constitution been too spotty for me to find the…

Theocracy and the Left
I wrote, "To reverse the scriptural phrase, they will swallow the imaginary gnat of 'theocracy' while straining at the all-too-real camel of Islamo-terrorism." A reader comments, "I'm not so sure it's gullibility as much as flat-out dishonesty half the time. Honestly, when I first heard the 'Dominionist' rumblings again, I thought it was comedy.…

Michele Bachmann and Dominionism Paranoia
Doug Groothuis, The Constructive Curmudgeon, points us to his article, Michele Bachmann and Dominionism Paranoia. Excerpt: There is a buzz in the political beehive about the dark dangers of Bachmann's association with "dominionism"—a fundamentalist movement heaven-bent on imposing a hellish theocracy on America. In the August 15 issue of The New Yorker, Ryan Lizza asserts…

A Summary of Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals
If you want to understand the Left, their tactics, their ruthlessness, and their imperviousness to ethical considerations, then you need to read Alinksy. Summary here. You will then understand what is behind the outrageous attacks of leftist scum bags, such as this guy, on conservatives. They see politics as warfare, and they believe the end…
