           How Do I Hate Thee

Picture

​How do I hate thee, let me count the ways.  I hate thee because there is nary an honest bone in the body of the media elite.  Let’s take what happened in Charlottesville, as an example.  One group of protesters had a permit to protest.  The other side didn’t.  The media portray the one group as neo Nazis, while ignoring the group dressed as ninjas, carrying baseball bats and sticks with nails in them.  

Both groups are clearly idiots.   But the media, including all democrats and some republicans, would have you believe that “Antifa” are freedom loving, anti-fascists.  Yes, if being a freedom loving anti-fascist means beating the shit out of anyone you disagree with, regardless of gender, race or age, while throwing urine at the police, vandalizing public property and setting cars on fire, I guess they are anti-fascists.  

Antifa has engaged in precisely such behavior for at least the last year.  And, they’ve done so across the U.S. and Europe.  However, the media ignored their antics, once they recognized an ally with the same vitriolic hatred of Western civilization as themselves.  

This is not a way of excusing neo Nazis or White supremacists.  I mean, don’t you know there are about 6000 Klan members in the U.S., compared to a few hundred million radical Islamists around the world who control armies, tanks, planes, bombs, and soon to be, atomic weaponry? (Thanks’ president Obama.)  Yes, we’d better watch out for those White supremacists.  They make Islamic radicals look like pikers.

Now, admittedly, some politicians and members of the media are actually oblivious to such goings on.  Apparently, because they have their heads shoved so far up their own asses they’re unaware of alternative points of view.  This is reinforced by living and working only among other, likeminded folk.  To the liberal elite, though, this is de facto proof of racism.  Or, any other negatively perceived “isms” that might come to mind.  Simply put an “ism” at the end of a word, and you will have the culprit responsible for whatever negative feelings you might have about yourself. Free speech must go, as the result.  For the worst thing that can happen to a person, you see, is to feel bad about themselves.  Totalitarian governments?  No problem!  Euthanasia?  Why not!  Just call it something else, preferably with a benevolent sounding name.  After all, words define reality, which is why reality can be defined as whatever you want it to be.  Think of our new genderless world—with 57 varieties of gender—as an example.  Male and Female?  Not anymore!  And, should you use the wrong gender pronoun when conversing with someone suffering with gender dysphoria, you will be fined, sued, and headed off to prison.  Think not?  Look at Canada and parts of Europe, including California (who is floating just such a proposal) if you want to see just how deep this insanity runs.
How about Abortion?   Hey, if you aren’t willing to support my baby, I should have the right to sever my “fetuses” spinal cord.  That’ll teach you, you pathetic right-wingers to be stingy with the welfare.    
How about immigration?  Don’t you know, Native Americans were here before you Europeans?  I saw that on a meme.  So, Americans must be willing to open their borders, without regard for the impact on both immigrants and American born people.  Because legislation by slogan is the surest way to govern. 

Now, finally, how about that Muslim hatred?  Don’t you know that White supremacists commit more acts of terror than Muslims here in the good ole U.S.?  Yeah, I know, there 247 million white people and about 3 million Muslims in the U.S., but don’t look at numbers.  Numbers are racist.

Believe me, I could go on, ad infinitum, about such matters, but what good would it do, when you can run to the Huff Po, or Slate, or The New York Times to find refutation for all that right wing hatred.

​Not much.  Not much at all.
