The Mainstream Right: Full of Openness and Love

From my Facebook page: “Wow! Levin deleted every single comment and post in your favor or mentioning your name, none of which were hateful. It doesn’t get much more cowardly than that.”

Unlearn the Propaganda!

    Tom, you do have some hidden support, though. George Friedman of Strategic Forecasts (StratFor) is not generally known a a libertarian but made this comment as part of an article he posted this morning. He was referring to the U.S. Wars since WWII and this particularly egregious example in Libya.

    “I am not making the argument that constant accommodation to reality does not have to be made. I am making the argument that the suspension of Section 8 of Article I as if it is possible to amend the Constitution with a wink and nod represents a mortal threat to the republic. If this can be done, what can’t be done?”

    The whole article is worth reading here: http://bit.ly/gDBLAp

    Dr Woods,

    Levin and Co’s responses to you have been downright Lincolnesque which is appropriate since that tyrant is one of their idols to be worshiped. Lincoln jailed editors and closed newspapers not friendly to his cause. Levin and Co have deleted you from cyberspace as best they can and work to marginalize you and anyone who disagrees instead of having and actual debate or exchange of facts.

    Thank goodness they cannot jail those who disagree with the war machine…yet.

    Look how he treats his callers who bring up any topic questioning his views. This should be a surprise to no one. This just proves he wants his audience to think he is “The Great One” and nobody can refute him.

    Proof that faith-based pacifists like Tom don’t understand coercion or those who best wield it:

    Maximal-capitalists like Tom don’t have a ‘pot to piss in’, despite the logical and empirical proven fact that capitalism is the most effective system known to man for delivering societal health and well being.

    Why?

    Statists are far more effective at wielding armed force. Moreover, ‘useful idiots’ like Tom facilitate statist schemes with dangerously absurd and naive notions that armed force should only be used as a last resort when all other options have been exhausted.

    Essentially clueless anarchists like Tom are fighting geopolitical battles with boxing gloves against statists at home and abroad who are using knives and guns.

    Moreover, Tom’s well intentioned, but ridiculous, notion that nullification is the answer to domestic statist abuses will only serve to balkanize the last bastion of nominal capitalism on the planet and guarantee predation of the disparate and weaker former United States by statist coercion from abroad (see communist China, Mexico, EU, et al)

    Lastly, these pacifists are grand hypocrites since most of the anarchist-capitalists regularly receive a paycheck from Uncle Sam, hence if they didn’t have double standards, they wouldn’t have any standards.

    Not one of them is willing to sacrifice “sacred honor or life” to defend any of the empty rhetoric they spew ad nauseam (sic).

    And this has what to do with this post? I delete irrelevant posts. My blog is not a place for you to repeat neocon talking points. If you have something relevant to the post, say so.

  • Ridin’ Dirty

    My mistake, I meant to post on the ‘Presidential War Powers’ thread.

    Of course, I am not surprised to be threatened with deletion since this seems to be a habit among anarchist-capitalists.

    Nonetheless, you can delete the preceding post since I will repost in the appropriate thread.

    My bad.

    That takes the cake. Here I am allowing you to post at all, while Mark Levin deletes everyone, no matter how courteous, who asks if he’s interested in a debate or who mentions my name. And you say my side is inclined to delete people. You are as blind on this as you are on everything else.

    Since the federal government at home and abroad is busy speading social democracy of the type that has done so much for Detroit over the last 45 years, you warmonger types must be Hillary-loving social democrats. Personally, I’m offended that our young people are going overseas to have their eyeballs, jaws, spleens and legs blown off to spread Clintonista social and economic policy. After all, it’s done so much for places like Zaire/Congo, Uganda and Rwanda, not to mention Detroit. And we all know that social democracy in a multi-ethnic nation leads to ethnic conflict and often slaughter.

    The neo-cons are the offspring of ex-Trotskyites like Irving Kristol. And we all know that you can’t argue with a leftist.

    Is this satire? I find it hilarious. 3rd paragraph: “Statists at home” point directly to people like Mark Levin. So we are to listen to statists at home to fight statists at home? 4th paragraph: “Nominal capitalism” is capitalism in name only. Perhaps US could benefit from balkanization by fighting statist coercion from domestic sources. 5th paragraph: “regularly receive paycheck from Uncle Sam” is hearsay or outright lie.

    Is Mexico, EU, & China the modern day neo-con boogie-man? Obey the domestic statists or else these foreign statists will come and bring their statism to our “free” country!
