Escaping the Plantation

It's always nice to be reminded that some Americans still have the character to swim against the tide:

On a tip from Thulsa Doom.

You guys should read the email I just got on my blog for posting that. It REALLY ruffled the liberal feathers. So... with that said... BE SURE TO SEND THE LINK TO YOUR LIBERAL FRIENDS! This junk is like Kryptonite! Lemme know if you guys wanna see the email... it made me lol.

Wow, I watched every second of that. Wish he didn't edit so choppy.

I like the peanut butter reference, and that is all I will say, watch it and you be glad I didn't spoil it. We should start a campaign or interent term like nuttergate.

This guy rocks. It's refreshing to see intelligent people that think for themselves instead of always playing the victim.

I wonder how long it will be before the super-liberal youtube.com takes down this video.

I'd be interested in reading the hate mail from your blog. What blog is it, if you don't mind my asking?

Posted by: Anonymous at October 5, 2008 11:05 PM

it's just a myspace blog i keep. nothing big doings. And it wasn't really hate mail... more like really frustrated mail. this video scrambles their minds, i think:

_____________________

I decided to send this as a message just because I don't want a bunch of people jumping in and starting a huge myspace fight.

You and I are on different sides of this presidential race, and that's great. That's the beauty of everything our country stands for. But some of the things that dude said on that video, I have a problem with.

-Everything below is what I initially typed in response to the blog. So the first paragraph may be redundant.-

I'm going to try and do this in the most civil way I know how. I respect your political opinion, and I'm not going to play who's better or who's worse. But after watching that guy speak, I feel compelled to say something, because that was about 9 min and 45 seconds of contradictory statements.

"Conservatism and Christianity are not synonymous with being perfect."

Conservatism is defined as follows by www. dictionary. com :

-http://dictionary. reference. com/browse/conservativism

It says its a political OR theological orientation. Theology. Christianity.

Christianity is defined as followed by that same site :

http://dictionary. reference. com/browse/christianity

-To be a Christian is to be Christ-like, which means try to be like Christ, who was perfect.

Linguistically AND logically, Conservatism AND Christianity ARE synonymous with being perfect.

The fact that he threw V for Vendetta out as an example for proving that torture can't help anything? Does this guy speaking know that Alan Moore wrote V for Vendetta? And it's not a Hollywood written script? Because if he did, he wouldn't be dumb enough to say what he did. You know V for Vendetta like I do. What he said was proof that he has NEVER read it.

And as far as Sarah Palin goes? Dude...She proved her mettle in the VP Debate by saying, "I may not answer questions the way you expect me too." More like, she just won't answer the question. She dodged questions worse than Hilary Clinton in the first Democratic Candidate primary.

There's nothing wrong with being conservative. I myself hold quite a few things that most conservatives hold near and dear, near and dear as well. I was raised in an incredibly strict conservative Christian household, so everything that conservatives throw out about keeping good morals, and anti-abortion, and everything else, I get it, man. I really do. But what I can't get is that a lot of conservatives, AND conservative republicans try and keep a moral code that does not apply to everyone anymore. Our country was founded to allow freedom of religion and freedom from religion. To not like someone or to treat them differently for being liberal(which by the way I also looked up on dictionary. com) is in contradiction to conservativism. The morals are good man. But they don't work for everyone and everyone shouldn't have to live by them. They shouldn't be patronized for not being conservative either. Not all of us are immoral, or amoral. This whole paragraph is not an attack at you, but at what the dude in the video said.

This is just my opinion, I am in no way trying to start a political argument with you, because I won't go there. We're all wrong anyways. No matter who comes into office, we're all f***ed. We're all guilty of only seeing our side of the story, especially when it comes to politics. But McCain and Obama are just two sides of the same coin, and we, the people, are just the metal in between.

_____________________

So basically a bunch of split hairs about literal definitions of words as opposed to the true meaning of said words in context(ie: Christianity isn't as much about being perfect as it is about striving to be like Christ-- Christians have zero chances of being exactly like Christ... but we are supposed to try our darndest to be). We have the usual calls for moral relativism, the dissolution of absolute truths, patronizing statements about faith issues and an insincere "respect" for our differing viewpoints-- all standard liberal fare. The issue about the writer of V for Vendetta is a moot point in that it doesn't really matter who made the film-- what matters is that the writer of the original work was indeed a liberal who promotes liberalism. It just happened to be picked up by Hollywood and was produced as a really crappy movie.

Personally, I think it has less to do with being upset about being called out and more about the confusing feelings a liberal deals with when a black man "speaks out of character" as per the "typical" pattern of thought attributed to blacks by the Left. I think it creates a cognitive dissonance for them that causes all kind of odd side effects.

Thoughts?

hell yeah motherfuckers keatingeconomics.com. King Obama has taken us to greatness again.

Let's look at McCain's ties to the Italian con-man or Charles Black and Jonas Savimbi or The U.S. Council for World Freedom...The McCain campaign has opened a huge can of worms by resorting to a smear campaign!

Posted by: Roschelle at October 6, 2008 4:17 AM

Did Charles Keating firebomb your house?

WAAAAAAAAAAH!

Did Charles Black murder police officers?

WAAAAAAAAAAH!

Did either one become John McCain`s close MENTOR?

WAAAAAAAAAAH!

That was awesome. So was the Drill song he's got put up there.

Posted by: Naqamel at October 6, 2008 9:04 AM

That guy is awesome!
He clearly has a good head on his shoulders, and knows the issues better than 90% of the disciples of Obama's cult of personality.
