nah uh
High-School Security has revenge fantasies.
What a bunch of bull . I cannot even describe how stupid, and repulsive this post is. Please commit suicide now.
(Psst. Hi-skool Security is a troll. I like to make fun of him anyway.)
Don't feed the troll...
Except that it is all speculation about what thoughts random people might have had with no real information. Which is exactly the kind of behavior the piece is ranting about.
Not that I disagree with the premise, but calling this a good piece is poor judgment, in my opinion.
people are liars and want the best of both worlds? the sky is also blue
I agreed with the piece because many Americans do tend to parrot out the opinions of their favorite talking heads in lieu of doing their own thinking and formulating their own opinions on issues.
Even worse, many of these numb skulls listen to and watch the most repulsive and disgusting of the talking heads that one can pay attention to in this country. In turn these hate mongers as I call them end up playing a role that is not inconsequential to the electoral process by virtue of motivating their listeners and viewers to 'take action'. As a result you have cancerous lesions like the tea party that have formed on America's political landscape. Sad but true.
...more on point is the lack of critical thinking skills by what has become a majority of voters in the U.S.....if tea baggers have all the answers, why haven't we heard them?
Oh, I agree. I think at least 95% of the people who talk politics have absolutely no clue about anything they are talking about. They just parrot talking points and opinions that parties or celebrities have supplied....
I'm just saying the author participates in the very behavior he complains about, picking out opinions he disagrees with and suggesting there's no thought behind them without knowing anything about it. To me, that means the author thinks they are one of the idiots.
Keep whistling past that graveyard, you ing lef s. You are subhuman. You deserve to have every bone in your body broken before being tied up a pole and left to die, with the birds plucking out your eyeballs as you wail in agony. I see your cowardice. I see how before the Muslims you drop your pants and bend over. You self-censor so they won't hurt you. Message received: you submit to violence. And you live on in your dream world thinking the other shoe isn't going to drop on the homefront. You live in total denial. Make no mistake: the American people are going to rise up and slaughter you. There is something like 0.8 firearms per American civilian floating out there, and I guarantee your side doesn't hold too many of them. What do you think is going to happen as the years drag on with no economic recovery? They're going to be looking for someone to blame, someone to get revenge on. And I'll be happy to point the finger at the "intelligentsia," the liberals, the gots. And in their desperation, they will lash out. And then we will rule. With you gone, we will take what was yours and give it to them, and they will love us. Call me a "troll," whatever, fine. But deep down in your heart, in that place of fear you keep locked away, you know that is the future. But you deny, you kick the can down the road. That's fine. When the day comes, we know you will be obsequious. You will try to give away everyone who ever trusted you in an attempt to save your own life. And we will take them, and then you too.
National Socialist German Workers Party writ in America?
If you really want to throw in with the Alex Jones crowd, be my guest.
The parallels are not as strong as you think for this to come to pass. One has to be careful to make the adage "those who forget history are doomed to repeat it" into a an iron straightjacket.
History teaches important lessons to be sure, but the one constant in the universe is change.
The future is not written yet, and events tend to make monkeys out of people who are the most certain of their predictions.
I agree. And your continuous posting of blog op-eds certainly highlights this point.
Cormac McCarthy is so ing overrated.
I thought Dan was an american.
"one constant in the universe is change."

Here's Artistophones seeing in Greece a couple 1000 years ago exactly what the VRWC is doing to USA today
"The ancient Greek playwright Aristophanes spent his life battling the assault on democracy by tyrants. It is disheartening to be reminded that he lost. But he understood that the hardest struggle for humankind is often stating and understanding the obvious. Aristophanes, who had the temerity to portray the ruling Greek tyrant, Cleon, as a dog, is the perfect playwright to turn to in trying to grasp the danger posed to us by movements from the tea party to militias to the Christian right, as well as the bankrupt and corrupt power elite that no longer concerns itself with the needs of its citizens. He saw the same corruption 2,400 years ago. He feared correctly that it would extinguish Athenian democracy. And he struggled in vain to rouse Athenians from their slumber."
permitting political leaders who shout “I shall never betray the Athenian!” or “I shall keep up the fight in defense of the people forever!” to get their hands on state funds and power would end with the citizens enslaved.
“The truth is, they want you, you see, to be poor,” Aristophanes wrote in his play “The Wasps.” “If you don’t know the reason, I’ll tell you. It’s to train you to know who your tamer is. Then, whenever he gives you a whistle and sets you against an opponent of his, you jump out and tear them to pieces.”
(Here, Ari is talking about Tea baggers as tamed, trained attack dogs)
Aristophanes too lived in a time of endless war. He knew that war always empowered anti-democratic forces. He saw how war ate away at the insides of a democratic state until it was hollowed out. His play “Lysistrata,” written after Athens had spent 21 years consumed by the Peloponnesian War, is a satire in which the young women refuse to have sex with their men until the war ends and the older women seize the Acropolis, where the funds for war are stored. The play called on Athenians to consider radical acts of civil disobedience to halt a war that was ravaging the state. The play’s heroine, Lysistrata, whose name means “Disbander of Armies,” was the playwright’s mouthpiece for the folly and self-destructiveness of war. But Athens, which would lose the war, did not listen.

I would agree. Which is precisely why the "war on terror" needs to be entirely re-framed, especially by conservative s who have no clue what/who it is we are actually fighting.
By all means, read something else then.
I bet this speech inspired everyone at the club house.
sky is blue.
Oddly enough, the guy behind the troll is one of the more intelligent people I have gotten to know here.
I am not sure if this is representative of his true feelings, although I doubt it. Seems more like a pretty good attempt to get people's goat. He is subtle as all get out sometimes.
Saying that, I feel like I am revealing the magician's secret a bit. Occasionally he will sucker some conservative or other into agreeing with his more extreme diatribes, such as this one, and it is interesting to see.
HS's game is blank parody or it's totally real. I'm frankly not sure which.
its hard to tell with whottt. probably depends on the narcotic of the week.
My hypothesis is someone else. Not telling who.
