#4 Note that Kucinich invokes the left's Vietnam triumph by citing the fossilized tool George McGovern.

These craven bastards sold out tens of millions of Indo-Chinese in 1975. They did it for no better reason than the pure pleasure of exercising power without responsibility, for that is the essence of leftist power-seeking and the institutional media culture alike.

Leftists like Kucinich are devils, demons incarnate. They delight in the suffering and misery they inflict and revel in their exemption from the consequences. Their authoritarian moralizing only makes sweeter for them.

If they do it again, I cannot answer for what might happen.

The current struggle is about human evolution, nothing less. Human life has changed beyond recognition during the past few centuries. Certain long-established characteristics of human behavior have outlived either their usefulness or our ability to tolerate them and have become dangerous liabilities.

It is no accident that all the evil forces in the world, from lying rhetoriticians and compulsive power-seekers to pop-culture degenerates to violent religious puritans, are somehow gathering on the same side of a global struggle. Contrary to first impressions, we are not under attack from these creatures. It is the other way around: they are under attack from us and from the natural forces of human evolution.

This hellish alliance of leftists, media cultists, and Islamic savages is on the wrong side of the ultimate law of the universe, the law of survival. It is them or us and, in their inherent if suppressed knowledge of their own evil, these seemingly incompatible forces cling together from mutual fear of the coming wrath. We will either eliminate the elements who work against our survival or we will sink back into the barbarous abyss from which we came.

#5 Well said, as always, AC.

Now I have to be a slug, lol, and add my ugly boggle...

What baffles me, if not worse, is that obviously failed (communism, socialism, etc.) and regressive (islam) ideologies are never actually stamped out. Somewhere there always seems to be a population which will, for myriad "reasons" - all bad or simply stupid - allow the recurrence of something as truly and obviously insane as Maoism. The difference between pathogens and destructive ideologies is so small as to make no odds, IMO. So why can't Maoism suffer the same fate as the pox? Now I'll answer my own question...

Related to this take is my reaction to the opinion piece today about the confessions of a coward. Three things jumped out at me... First was that he did have proto-testicles for publishing the piece. Second was that, in spite of his life-long self-education which led him to this realization, he still got several conclusions dead wrong. Third is that he was a Post-WW-II product of our education system - 50's-60's - and the system was already obviously failing in a primary mission: why America matters. Imagine, just imagine, how that item is handled today: teaching overt anti-Americanism.

So, I guess I'm saying that we can't seem to kill off the utterly failed BS and that we are, in the person of the saboteurs of the 60's, creating the very sucker populations, the vectors, which will carry these pestilences forward for yet another generation.

If it weren't for people like AC, I'd recommend we, my generation, all be summarily killed - immediately. Think of it as a backfire...

I've now depressed myself, in spite of your excellent comment, AC. Shit.

#6 They're all ideologies used as tools to concentrate power over the ignorant class.

From kings with nobles and serfs, thru communism, socialism, Maoism, Kimmieism, Islamism - all just kings under different names.

#7 ...Okay, full disclosure: I knew one of REP. Kucinich's sisters, a VERY long time ago. They are a big, warm, loving family who love him to death....but THEY even think he's nuts.

#9 We’re spending over $400 billion a year, money that's also needed for healthcare, for education, for job creation, for seniors.

So we'll quit paying the troop, Dennis? Lay them all off? Add to the unemployment lines? Remember, these are the folks Kerry said are too dumb to go to college.

And we won't buy any more Humvees, or kevlar vests, or high-tech equipment, or helicopters, or bullets. Any of that stuff made in your District, Denny? We'll just shut down those assembly lines and spend the money on .... unemployment.

It's all about choices, Dennis. I thought you were in favor of choice?

#10 Please, .com; I did not mean to further your depression! I didn't rain on your parade, I merely summed up.

You wondered why these -isms do not fail, I merely pointed out why they may fall out of favor, but never really go away. They're all about one guy (or a small group, in the case of the Democrats) saying, "Give me all the power and I will save you from your oppressors!"

Sometimes they have to invent oppressors. Sometimes, it's the Universal Oppressors©, the Jooooos.

Now the good news is that in the good ol' US of A, we have no oppressors, because (hat tip: Old Spook) we are a democratic republic with individual freedoms.

The cloud that goes with that silver lining? The Democrats (or at least the leftists) want to save us from ourselves, because they know what's best for us. They who would be king.

So don't depress yourself; oppress yourself!

#12 If I may volunteer my impressions as a Gen-Xer, .com. The rot in your generation has been transmitted wholesale to my generation, via leftist professors and journalists seeking to make little clones of themselves (by means other than reproduction, of course).

These same power-hungry, self-absorbed assholes are the same ones who declared a "right to be happy," and had affairs, got divorces, and ruined our families. Their army of Mini-Mes will do the same thing, but Gen-X moonbats aren't gripped by it to quite the extent 60s radicals are. The Gen-X leftist outlook is profoundly empty and cynical, and many of them are totally aware of it. For the most part, they're not moonbats by conviction, but by default: "moonbot" might be a better term.

Not being leftists would make them unpopular, and there's no objective truth anyway, so they don't see any reason to evaluate things rationally and change their minds. To a significant extent, I think it's psychological, a product of the dysfunction in their families. They're sick puppies, and that's not a good situation, but most are not what you could call True Believers.

Further, our parents' narcissism has caused plenty of blowback. A lot of us grew up, evaluated their mistakes, and came to understand that simple (but hard) stuff like morality, duty, and integrity would have prevented all the pain -- both in our families and in the political sphere. It's said that morality and religious conviction and conservatism are deepening among Gen-Xers, and our fuckwit parents (and professors) are largely why.

So, cheer up! They sold us the rope with which to hang them. You know what they say, be good to your kids because one day they'll choose your nursing home. Many of us are looking forward to that, so save a few dirty hippies for us!

#13 .com-
Actually, she was kinda cute. The thing to keep in mind is that she (and the rest of the family) never, ever EVER wanted you to mention their last name in public - his reputation in Cleveland, frankly, sucks outside of his district.

#16 I know a lot of us boomer Vietnam vets said "Never Again!", and meant it. Kucinich is playing the same tune played in 1975. I will not allow him to destroy Iraq like the 1975 Congress allowed the destruction of Vietnam. I've already started writing letters to the editor of my local newspaper. He's going to get thoroughly sick of me. So are the editors of the Denver Post, the Rocky Mountain News, the Pueblo Chieftan, and the rest of the newspapers here in Colorado. So is my representative in the House of Representatives (a repuglycon), and both senators (one of each). That's the nice thing about email - it's cheap, and you can harass the he$$ out of people, and make a point that otherwise would have been missed.

#14 I vote for cutting off Kucinich's funding.

I vote for cutting off Kuchinich's wiener - at the neck - if he follows through on this. Just call it a slight accident during circumcision.

Some people are cynical, some people are stupid, and some people are just plain evil. I'm beginning to believe the donkey party attracts the latter like flies to sh$$.

#17  Is Dennis' sister still hot? Or does he have any hot daughters or wives or anything? I would love to get one of his family members on the internet. I could wear a Kucinich mask on film. That might make for some good blackmail material.

#18 I'm embarrassed that Kucinich is a rep from my home state, Ohio. (There...take that you Dixie Chicks.)

Not that it will do any good, but I just emailed a copy to Kucinich's offices in Ceveland and Washington the post in today's Opinion section captioned: "An Honest Confession of an American Coward". Kucincih will never read it because a staffer will intercept it and delete. But that post is all about Kucinich, his generation, his ilk, and what the anti-war Boomers have wrought.

Somebody, please, tell me I'm wrong: Are those of us who "get it" really in the vast minority?

#21 During the Kucinich race for the Presidency in '04 some of the impartial press noted Dennis was single and available and a real catch. :) Even had a date Dennis contest....

From the looks of Dennis, I expect to see him on one of those Dateline stings.

exJAG: The rot in your generation has been transmitted wholesale to my generation, via leftist professors and journalists seeking to make little clones of themselves (by means other than reproduction, of course).

Credit where credit is due: Gramsci's "long march through the universities" idea was a stroke of (evil) genius.

Atomic Conspiracy: Contrary to first impressions, we are not under attack from these creatures. It is the other way around: they are under attack from us and from the natural forces of human evolution.

Reminds me of a preacher I heard once talking about the verse "And the gates of Hell shall not prevail against it." He was astounded at how many Christians took that as a defensive view of Christianity under siege when it is just the opposite. It's a call to offensive action against the forces of darkness.

exJAG: moonbot: I like that!

#32 Some of you Baby Boomers are awfully nice, actually, and quite useful too, and I refuse to blame you for the misbehaviour of those whose mothers refused to spank them as needed. .com dear, I've a nice mug of Earl Grey to cheer you up with, and some scones with clotted cream for BA, because he's confusing them with crumpets.
