Trolling the Cult of HeWillNotDivideUs

I checked with several sources and they all agree that the wording in Russian, Japanese, Arabic and Hebrew correspond with the translations indicated in the picture. Props to the gentleman above for a masterful piece of trolling.

There a video capture of two guys enacting an ISIS decapitation, bit I lost the link. I’ll post it as soon as I find it. The Non Cultists tend to have a more entertaining program that the drones repeating themselves over and over.

 

The danger of senseless sloganeering.

Always check the source, a nice principle to live by even though we (OK, I ) don’t do it 100% of the times. For many years I also repeated this quasi-legal slogan till I got corrected. Last night, it was somebody else’s turn:

The case I mention at the bottom is Schenck v. United States (1919) and the misquoted passage is the opinion of the court written by Justice Holmes:

The most stringent protection of free speech would not protect a man in falsely shouting fire in a theatre and causing a panic. It does not even protect a man from an injunction against uttering words that may have all the effect of force.

Listen, we are not perfect so expect being corrected. Be open-minded to the corrections, but make sure you are not being led to the primrose patch. Trust but Verify to coin a phrase.

And… don’t be a dick till you have full confidence your opponent deserves it. Some people will actually appreciate the correction even if they will not share your view.

Chris @digitalbrain242 has not returned a comment, nor I expect one that would make sense or be anything else that “YOU ARE A NAZI!” which is the new “You are racist!” And there is a meme for that!

 

This is what the Liberal “Resistance” looks like. (Update)

Portland Airport: The mob attacked a Trump supporter. Somebody landed a “good” punch that knocked him out. Hear the mob celebrate. They are relishing the suffering of the victim.


The Left is now officially thinking they are entitled to exact retribution for your political beliefs. We are in our weird version of Mao’s Cultural Revolution where the enemies of ChiCom were dragged out on the streets and punished by Mob Justice for their heresy.

And this is why you carry… and carry spare mags…. and need to be ready to use them.

Dear Libs: You may want to consider this your warning.

UPDATE: I found a longer version with what happened prior to the battery.

 

Because we are not frogs or tortoises.

This lady did not like the post Why we won’t “help” you? and  left a barrage of posts in my twitter account. First she went Passive/Aggressive with a good dose of Jewish Mother Guilt trip:

Then she switched to veiled insulting the redneck & wishing him not quite a good life and then stomping out:

Sarah Hoyt had a great set of answers too in her Instapundit post (which graciously linked my site and I thank her). One of her best is:

In other words, what you want help with is beclowning yourselves.  And we think you’re doing a fine job of it all on your own.  Besides, we need both hands for this big a popcorn bowl.

But my particular reason, even if they were right and Trumps turns out to be the Recombined Reincarnation of Hitler. Stalin and Pol Pot is because I am not the frog (or the tortoise if you were raised with the European version) in the well-known fable:

The Scorpion and the Tortoise

A scorpion and a tortoise meet on the bank of a stream and the
scorpion asks the tortoise to carry him across on its back.
The tortoise asks, “How do I know you won’t sting me?”
The scorpion says, “Because if I do, I will die too.”

The tortoise is satisfied, and they set out, but in midstream,
the scorpion stings the tortoise. The tortoise feels the onset of
paralysis and starts to sink, knowing they both will drown,
but has just enough time to gasp “Why?”

Replies the scorpion: “Its my nature…”

I just know that you assholes will behave like the scorpion because that is your nature. You cannot simply allow people to live their lives in peace so they either bow to your ideals or they need to disappear even if they are helping you!

So, short answer: I won’t get stung by the likes of you.

Thank God for Trump

In the last couple of days I have read two articles from liberal news outlets how Trump’s election is the end of American democracy.

The first compares Trump’s election to the rise of Chavez in Venezuela.   The other claims the Trump’s America has turned the US into an Arab state.

I am not a populist.  I recognize from history that populism can very quickly turn ugly, becoming governance by appealing to mob rule.  Fortunately, America has a built in barrier against becoming a populist state, it is called the Constitution of the United States of America.  It is a marvelous document, full of negative rights, limiting the power of the government and guaranteeing the rights of the people.

I was not a Trump fan during the election.  I will never forgive him for the way he treated Marco Rubio, who I know, and who is an extraordinarily decent man.

Watching the histrionics carried out by the Left during the final days of the election and beyond, had pushed me in an uncomfortable direction where I am being driven to support Trump just to watch him steam roll the Left.

It is Trump’s steam rolling of the left that should make the Left say “thank God for Trump.”  See, Trump’s ability to exact populist retribution against the Left is tempered by the limitations of the Constitution.

For the eight years of the Obama administration, the half of America in the land between the coasts had an elitist, far Left Progressive agenda rammed down its throat with a pen and a phone.

Your religious beliefs are just homophobia and your are a bigot and have to pay.

All a teenage boy needs to do to be allowed to undress in a locker room in front of a bunch of “mortified” teenage girls is call himself a girl.  If that boy wants to go camping with the Girl Scouts, he can do that too.  If that makes you uncomfortable, that makes you a transphobe and a bigot.

If you want to take a Yoga class at the YMCA, that is cultural appropriation and you are a racist and bigot.

If you think that it is wrong for illegal immigrants who have been convicted of crimes and been deported to come back to the US, be protected by sanctuary cities, and then shoot or kill US citizens in a DUI; you are a racist and a bigot.

If you think it is a bad idea to let poorly vetted people from nations harboring ISIS into the US, which might allow terrorists to sneak into the US under the cover of refugee status; you are an Islamophobe, a racist, and a bigot.

We’re tired of that.

We’re tired of being called “bitter clingers,” “deplorables,” uneducated, ignroant, racists, homophones, xenophobes, bigots,  rednecks, and mouth breathing knuckle-draggers.

 

Hillary wanted to overturn the The Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act, to encourage people to sue gun manufactures out of business.

This is just another example of a Progressive trying to destroy an industry that  they don’t like.  Screw the people who work in that $13.5 Billion dollar industry.  Just as Obama’s reduction of coal mining  was going to cost over 125,000 jobs.  These people already lost their health insurance to Obamacare, why would any DC elites care if they lost their jobs too?

We were tired of having our lives managed by bureaucrats who graduated from a handful of elite Ivy Leave colleges.  To enter eight more years of that, with those same bureaucrats feeling they’ve been giving license to micro-manage our lives is not an attractive prospect.

Especially when those people fully admit that that don’t get what life is like outside their bubble.

Michael Moore was right, Trump was the “human Molotov cocktail” that Middle America could throw at the elites.  The elites should be glad that Middle America threw Trump.

See, the alternative wasn’t eight years of Clinton pushing more of the same Left wing Progressive agenda.

The alternative was actual Molotov cocktails.

Maybe I am everything that the antis think I am.  When the culture columnist of the New York Times calls all of America between the coasts  the “dance of the low sloping foreheads” my first thought is does he forget who in America owns the 300 Million guns that the NYT thinks is too many?

Take Middle America.  Have progressive government regulations destroy their livelihoods.  Have a near Trillion Dollar stimulus plan completely skip over their states, and help those only in America’s biggest and bluest cities.  Have what the media claimed to be the smartest man to hold the Presidency have less than 3% growth for his entire term.  Have progressives ignoring the crisis that they are facing.  Then let the media and and Hollywood insult and degrade them as the last safe, acceptable form of bigotry in the country.

Do that for eight years, then up the ante and do it again for another eight.  I would have guaranteed that at some point a NYT journalist would get on TV and say something about Middle America that is worse than “low sloping foreheads” and the NYT editorial staff would find itself stood up against a wall facing a firing squad of ex coal miners who have been unemployed and bankrupt for a decade.

Trump is a peaceful transition of power from the hands of the Progressive elite back to that of Middle America.  The Progressive elite needs to understand that this is the best option that could have happened.  The Sans-Culottes beheaded the French Monarchy.  The Bolsheviks shot the Romanovs.  Trust me, the Flyover rebellion would have drained the swam by dumping the bodies in the Potomac.

The election of Trump was a safe and lawful release of the pressure that had built up in Middle America.  Clamp that pressure relief shut and Progressives risk causing the whole thing to blow.

The Left needs to accept their loss and take their lumps.  If they are smart, they can use the limitations of the Constitution to restrict Trump from going to excess.

If they think they can stop him altogether and turn back this shift in America, they need to remember who owns the guns in America.
