Sipsey Street Irregulars: David Codrea on Commie Times Columnist "Mr. Moustache."

David Codrea on Commie Times Columnist "Mr. Moustache."

This is Thomas Friedman, senior foreign affairs columnist for the New York Times.

No, wait, THAT'S Joseph Stalin, collectivist butcher of millions. THIS is Thomas Friedman, modern-day apologist for collectivist butchers.

Friedman, like Stalin before him, is very proud of his moustache. This has caused a number of people to make him and his "I know better than thou" attitude the subject of cartoons.

Sorry, folks, I picked up another bug on Friday and I've been knocked for a loop -- temp, alternate freezing and burning up, sensitive skin (?), nausea, etc. Didn't even look at the computer all day yesterday. Awoke today feeling better, but with 400 plus e-mails in the in box. One of the first I saw was this from David Codrea about a Thomas Friedman column in the New York Times.

"One-party autocracy certainly has its drawbacks. But when it is led by a reasonably enlightened group of people, as China is today, it can also have great advantages. That one party can just impose the politically difficult but critically important policies needed to move a society forward in the 21st century."

Attached to the quote was David's reaction:

Shameful and treasonous. Typical unmasked New York Times apologia for tyranny. This almost makes me want the commies to take over just so they can enact their predictable purge of the "intelligentsia."

Anybody still think we can reason with cancer?

David Codrea

Friedman strikes a dictatorial pose.

Well, scratch a liberal, get a communist, I always said. And, no I don't think you can reason with cancer or any other type of collectivism.

This is where Thomas Friedman, advocate of the common collectivist dictator, lives.

"What does he eat for breakfast?" asks Michael Collins.

"Why does he want to know what I eat for breakfast?"

PS: Best "get well" call from yesterday. At the height of my misery, Bob Wright called me. His question: "Nobody came up behind you and stuck you with an umbrella, did they?"

Very funny, Bob. Very funny.

I guess the raising of the PRC's flag on the White House lawn today in commemoration of the founding of Mao Ze DUNG's people's paradise proves the point.

Hope you get to feeling better, Mike.; September 20, 2009 at 9:17 PM

Babadaboopie? Bibbida babbada!

Indeed. Also reminds me of a Vandals song from back in my youth.

http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/t/the_vandals/power_mustache.html

Ahh, youth.. but here's a quip, which I've been holding dear since I was a wee lad:

Mustache is a symbol of repression and of hate

Never trust a man with a butt
Broom on his face

It's the facial marking of the man who holds you down

The
Source of all your problems, every city, every town

Stalin, Hitler, Schneider,
Just to name a few

got to kill the mustache before it grows on you!

......

As I said... ahh, youth. But, You know.. I've never sported a mustache, and it's because of that song... every time I see a certain kind of mustache (I believe we can identify these with toothpicks and blood-spatter wire, if we are so inclined), it reminds me not to grow one... I end up growing a full beard instead.. not that Ted Kaczynski hasn't helped in that department...

I need to shave.; September 20, 2009 at 9:44 PM
Anonymous said...: Sheesh! I didn't realize that a moustache (my moustache?) was such a symbol of SocCommLiberalism! And here I've had mine on for the better part of 30+ years (minus two short times for basic and NCO training), as I've slowly been learning about, maturing, and growing toward conservatism.

What shall I do? Oh my!

And DON'T tell me to shave it off. If I do, my wife wouldn't recognize me, and I'd be shot next time I came home from work.

"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken

"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

"We will not go gently . . ."

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

"A common language of resistance . . ."

"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.
