‘Our Country Is Being Stolen!’

Posted on | April 3, 2018 | Comments Off on ‘Our Country Is Being Stolen!’

Responding to accounts of an “army” of Central American migrants marching through Mexico toward the U.S. border, President Trump went on a Twitter rant Monday morning:

Mexico has the absolute power not to let these large “Caravans” of people enter their country. They must stop them at their Northern Border, which they can do because their border laws work, not allow them to pass through into our country, which has no effective border laws…..
…Congress must immediately pass Border Legislation, use Nuclear Option if necessary, to stop the massive inflow of Drugs and People. Border Patrol Agents (and ICE) are GREAT, but the weak Dem laws don’t allow them to do their job. Act now Congress, our country is being stolen!
DACA is dead because the Democrats didn’t care or act, and now everyone wants to get onto the DACA bandwagon… No longer works. Must build Wall and secure our borders with proper Border legislation. Democrats want No Borders, hence drugs and crime!

Liberal media reacted by asserting that the phrase “our country” is racist, and pointing out that DACA doesn’t apply to new immigrants.

Education or Indoctrination?

Posted on | April 1, 2018 | Comments Off on Education or Indoctrination?

“There have been many examples in history of rich and powerful states which have been corrupted from within, enfeebled and deceived until they were unable to resist aggression.”
— Sen. Joseph McCarthy, June 14, 1951

Diana West is the author of American Betrayal: The Secret Assault on Our Nation’s Character, and a student of Cold War history. Friday on Twitter, she called attention to this passage from Chapter 10 of Louis Budenz’s 1954 book The Techniques of Communism:

As early as 1924, in lectures delivered at the Sverdlov University in Moscow, Stalin specified “cultural and educational organizations” as valuable allies in the Communist battle for world dictatorship. These Stalin lectures are now the famous Foundations of Leninism, published and studied widely by the Communists. It was in 1933, however, that extensive infiltration began in the schools and colleges of this country — encouraged by American recognition of Soviet Russia, and stimulated by the Open Letter to the Party. The Trojan horse policy of the People’s Front, which had been initiated at the Seventh World Congress of the Communist International in 1935, gave added impetus to this activity. By May, 1937, the conspiracy considered that enough progress had been made in the schools and colleges to justify a special article of directives in that month’s issue of The Communist, then the official theoretical organ of the Party. This article, “The Schools and the People’s Front,” laid it down as a necessity that “Marxist-Leninist analysis must be injected into every class.” In order that this might be accomplished successfully, “the Party must take careful steps to see that all teacher comrades are given thorough education in the teachings of Marxism-Leninism.” It was stressed that “Communist teachers are faced with a tremendous social responsibility.” They must affect the children’s thinking, and they must mobilize other teachers. But all of this was to be done from the work in the classroom to the agitation among other teachers — “without exposing themselves.”

The article cited by Budenz was written by by Richard Frank of the Young Communist League, and is available online in PDF (though incorrectly dated to 1957). It is important to note Budenz’s authority in describing Communist methods. In 1935, Budenz joined the Communist Party USA and subsequently became managing editor of The Daily Worker. In 1945, however, he left the party and became an anti-Communist. What he said about the CPUSA’s strategy of subverting public education was based on direct knowledge gained during a decade as a party insider.

Why does this matter? Well, start by asking yourself this: Why have you never heard of Louis Budenz before? Why haven’t you read his book? Why is the testimony of other ex-Communists — e.g., Elizabeth Bentley — never mentioned in the history textbooks assigned in public schools? If there was a Communist conspiracy to control our public education system, isn’t this exactly the kind of knowledge they would suppress?

Under the control of the Left, our public education system produces mass murderers like Nikolas Cruz and fanatics like David Hogg.

Gosh, it’s almost as if it’s the result of “a conspiracy on a scale so immense as to dwarf any previous such venture in the history of man.”

Police: Transgender Prostitute Murdered in Louisiana Motel by Tattooed Ex-Convict

Posted on | April 1, 2018 | Comments Off on Police: Transgender Prostitute Murdered in Louisiana Motel by Tattooed Ex-Convict

Police say Darrell ‘Amia Tyrae’ Berryman (left) was shot by Dedrick Butler (right).

WBRZ-TV reports:

Police have arrested a man accused of shooting and killing a transgender prostitute at a Baton Rouge motel earlier this week.
According to the Baton Rouge Police Department, the shooting happened shortly after 1 a.m. at the Shades Motel on Airline Highway. There, police found 28-year-old Darrel Berryman dead from a gunshot. In the arrest records, police say Berryman was a “transvestite” working as a prostitute out of the motel room.
Through witness accounts and surveillance video, investigators learned that the suspected shooter, 22-year-old Dedrick Butler, had entered Berryman’s motel room just after 1 a.m. Monday. Police say a friend of Berryman then arrived at the motel but hid after he heard a gunshot come from inside the room. Butler was then seen on surveillance video, leaving the room and taking off in his vehicle.
While investigating the victim’s phone, police found recent messages from Butler. Officers were then able to track down Butler’s vehicle and take him into custody.
During questioning, Butler admitted to going into the motel room armed with a gun at the time of the shooting. However, he denies that he’s the one who shot Berryman.
Butler was booked into the East Baton Rouge Parish Prison on charges of second-degree murder, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and possessing a weapon with an obliterated serial number.

Was this an attempted robbery? Prostituting at cheap motels is dangerous, and this doesn’t seem like a “hate crime,” and yet . . .

Transgender Woman Shot Dead in Motel Is 7th
Killed in U.S. This Year, Rights Advocates Say
. . . Between 25 to 28 transgender people were reported killed in the United States last year, the highest number in at least a decade, according to a report by the Human Rights Campaign and the Trans People of Color Coalition. The violence disproportionately affects transgender women of color. . . .
NeVaa White, a friend, told Mic that Ms. Tyrae had been out since at least 2009, and had a close community of friends. “She made family with her peers in the L.G.B.T. community of Baton Rouge,” Ms. White said, adding that Ms. Tyrae didn’t have an easy life, and that she “was taken away in the very manner she feared.”
Statistics on homicides of transgender people are difficult to compile and are not officially available because the federal government does not collect data based on gender identity. In addition, transgender homicide victims are often identified by the police using the names and genders they were assigned at birth, a practice known as misgendering.

Was “Ms. Tyrae” killed by “misgendering” or by bullet wounds? Pretty sure it was the latter, and there’s no apparent political angle to this crime, but in the Trump era, the New York Times cannot pass up an opportunity to imply that “hate” was somehow to blame.

Derek Weida Doesn’t Grasp That David Hogg May Not Grasp That The 2A’s Not The Issue

Posted on | March 31, 2018 | Comments Off on Derek Weida Doesn’t Grasp That David Hogg May Not Grasp That The 2A’s Not The Issue

by Smitty

Derek is a wounded warrior, trying to cast a Spell of Reflection on the young cameraphile:

I’m actually kinda with the anti-gun folk. There’s no need BUT! I’ve learned that the way I live and the things I believe have nothing to do with how others want to live or what they want to believe. I’m a well regulated idealist. ? The people you’re arguing against… It’s not even about the gun. It’s about the freedom and the right… And you can’t win an argument against that, nor should you (In most cases).

I don’t doubt that there are some sincere, idealistic gungrabbers in the lot. Hogg may be one of them. I submit that, given his recent attacks on Laura Ingraham, whatever idealism propelled him initially, he’s gone Full Commie.
Thus, it seems that Hogg has joined the ranks of those who aspire to demolish the original country founded with the individual citizen as the starting point, not some hegemon and clique of strongmen.
I salute those still endeavoring to engage with these benighted twits. Hopefully we can avoid becoming real enemies, but I doubt it’s possible to be friends with someone who:
a) not only holds ideas at variance with the Constitution, but
b) seeks overthrow of the Constitution not through the stated change process, but through disgusting, passive-aggressive, legalistic fine print means.
The Second Amendment is the most visible front in the assault, but the whole Bill of Rights is under siege by the Left. We give Democrats power again at our peril.
Cindy Sheehan could not be reached for comment. Chiefly due to disinterest.

What Must It Be Like …

Posted on | March 31, 2018 | 1 Comment

. . . to applaud one’s own “courage” in writing? How does it feel to celebrate your “strength” with the expectation that others will admire you as much as Laurie Penny expects to be admired? This question is inspired by a 6,000-word article in which Ms. Penny climbs up on the cross, then worships herself as a heroic martyr to the cause of feminism.

It’s pathological narcissism, to be blunt. Ms. Penny cannot seem to fathom why she is so hated, except to blame “misogyny” for her suffering:

After almost a decade of “awareness-raising” about online misogyny — just like your granddad’s home-grown misogyny, but on the intertubes — it hasn’t got any better. It’s got worse. And the most common response, by far, is still victim-blaming. Of course, nobody deserves death threats. But come on, princess. Didn’t you ask for this, even a little bit? You shouldn’t have been so ambitious. So forthright. So talented. So unapologetic. Careful, or they’ll make an example of you.

Evidently, it has never occurred to Ms. Penny that anyone who isn’t female could be targeted by harassment, either online or in the real world. Nor does she consider the Left’s punitive treatment of conservatives to be harassment. Never in a million years would Ms. Penny consider, for example, how the SPLC’s “hate map” inspired domestic terrorist Floyd Corkins to attack the Family Research Council office. Nor would Ms. Penny give any consideration to Becky Garrison, targeted by Obama’s IRS because of her role as a Tea Party leader. What about James Damore, fired from his job at Google for daring to criticize the company’s “diversity” agenda? No, anyone targeted by the Left deserves whatever harm befalls them, in Ms. Penny’s judgment, so that it is only her own suffering — as a left-wing woman — which is heroic and deserving of praise. Because misogyny!

Don’t bother Ms. Penny with the details of how her ideological allies have harassed and threatened Ann Coulter, Michelle Malkin, Dana Loesch, Laura Ingraham, et al. It is too much to expect Ms. Penny to take notice of how many men on the Left have been abusive monsters (e.g., Communist historian Herb Aptheker or the lecherous Ted Kennedy), nor has she bothered to ask why all those “Occupy” encampments in 2011 seemed to attract so many predatory perverts. The reason Ms. Penny never notices any of this is because she is an ideologue, a comrade of Communists; in her 2014 book Unspeakable Things, she praised the work of Bolshevik commissar Alexandra Kollontai.

While pretending to be a victim of misogyny, ostentatiously writhing in agony on her self-made cross as a heroic martyr of the feminist cause, in fact the reason Laurie Penny is so hated is because she is a bad person — selfish, dishonest and cruel — as I explained in March 2016:

Laurie Penny is a hatemonger.
Let us cease mincing words about the kind of “feminism” that such monstrous creatures have popularized in the name of social justice.
Laurie Penny is to women’s equality what Richard III was to the British monarchy, a vile and loathsome stain. Her relentless vituperation of white males, like her celebration of “genderqueer” lunacy, expresses the infantile rage of a spoiled brat. Her antisocial personality traits are conveniently rationalized by a soi-disant “progressive” ideology that provides her warped mind with demonized scapegoats (white people, males, capitalists) whose alleged evils (racism, sexism, greed) she can congratulate herself for denouncing.

Nobody loves Laurie Penny, because she is unlovable, but her powers of rationalization are so well-developed that a couple of years ago she chose Valentine’s Day as an occasion to denounce “compulsory heterosexual monogamy” as a prison of “modern patriarchy”:

I have spent most of my twenties single, sometimes by choice, and sometimes because I was dating men and unable to locate one of those who didn’t try to hold me back or squash me down.

In other words, it’s not her fault nobody loves her, it’s those awful men — patriarchal oppressors who want to hold her back and squash her down.

As a coping device to resolve her cognitive dissonance, perhaps this self-flattering explanation suits Ms. Penny’s purposes. It would not be possible — she lacks the self-awareness necessary — for her to question the destructive ideas to which she has devoted her life. Instead, having celebrated her heroic suffering at such length, she took to Twitter to lament the effect on her dating life.

 

Having been doxed and SWATted and hate-listed by the SPLC myself, I might be able to muster some empathy for Ms. Penny, except that she never extends empathy to others. She is so intensely selfish that she is almost sociopathic in her indifference to the suffering of others. She wants to blame her “vague but tenacious reputation” for her misfortunes, without bothering to wonder if (a) she deserves her bad reputation, or (b) if men are “scared away” for other reasons.

“Only when we recognize that ‘manhood’ and ‘womanhood’ are made-up categories, invented to control human beings and violently imposed, can we truly understand the nature of sexism. . . .
“Questioning gender . . . is an essential part of the feminism that has sustained me through two decades of personal and political struggle. In the end, feminists and the LGBT community have this in common: We’re all gender traitors.”
— Laurie Penny, “How to Be a Genderqueer Feminist,” 2015

Gosh, Ms. Penny, I can’t imagine why men don’t want to date a “genderqueer feminist” who despises “compulsory heterosexual monogamy.” Instead, they’ll ignore you as you enjoy your heroic suffering there on your cross, surrounded by admiring feminist disciples.

It’s rather lonely being the Genderqueer Messiah, isn’t it?
