Trump Derangement Syndrome.

ACLU board member resigns after Facebook post about shooting people who would vote for Trump

Loring Wirbel has resigned as co-chair of the Colorado Springs chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union of Colorado after facing mounting criticism for a Facebook post that said people voting for Donald Trump should be told "I will have to shoot you before election day."

Yeah sure buddy OK.
"It was intended totally as a joke."
And if any of us made the same joke about supporters of a certain marxist feminist or socialist doormat, we wouldn't be encouraged to resign. We'd be fired, harassed by media, and probably arrested for terroristic threats or some nonsense.

Also, while I look at Trump as the least worst of presidential candidates in the field, I don't get why he's being compared to Goebbels. He wants to block immigration of refugees who are likely (and according to Daesh itself, are) mixed in with a heaping helping of our country's enemies.
Maybe that's not nice, but it's reasonable. And it's far kinder than the Democratic solution to potential foreign threats in our country. Look at FDR's Japanese internment camps, or Carter canceling Iranian entry visas.

But I guess everything is okay when they do it, and nothing is okay when we do.; December 14, 2015 at 12:50 PM

Chiu ChunLing said...: While Trump himself has made a fair job of coloring inside the lines of what should theoretically be political discourse, I think that it is entirely fair for the Republican establishment to notice that his popularity is being driven by sentiments which fall quite far afield of the appeal to ordinary politics.

Not to say that they are right to oppose it, but I can hardly call them deranged for noticing it.

Yes, they'll have to shoot us if they aren't willing to tolerate us leaving their little reservation. Because we'll shoot them rather than go back to being shepherded by those who collude with the wolves to devour us.; December 14, 2015 at 4:56 PM

The answer to the shocking numbers of them is, is to genocide the Communists before they can disarm you. How many examples in history do you need to be PROACTIVE to their upcoming genocide, instead of attempting to be reactive (and failing because you tolerated them longer than incremental disarmament made you willing victims) to once they have disarmed you?

smh...fools still choose to die on their knees in submission to communists and muzzies...
The lack of strategically minded people who are aware to the danger is, well shocking to say the least.

"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.

-- Mike Vanderboegh, The Lessons of Mumbai:Death Cults, the "Socialism of Imbeciles" and Refusing to Submit, 1 December 2008

"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.
