Nice try, but some of us are paying attention. 1776 was the first stop on that great burst of freed minds. But then something happened on the way to a thinking morality: some sonofabitch denied reason in order to preserve morality as the domain of faith/feelings. And lo, the Left was born out of the aborted Age of Reason, spurning God -- but not belief itself.

A hungry skeptic ought to be more awake on point than a well-fed Southern Baptist, right?<BR/><BR/>As far as Comrade Ayers, I wrote this to David Codrea when he forwarded the link to me:<BR/><BR/>"You know, there's an original copy of Prairie Fire in my 'Benedict Arnold period' papers at the Ohio Historical Society. I remember reading it and thinking it was too haphazard and "bourgeouis" -- full of horseshit and wishful thinking -- written by somebody who had little understanding of the "real working class." On Ayres and the Weathermen I was right, but looking back I've got to laugh at how self righteous the serious full-of-shit leftist can be. And boy, was I full of shit back then. ;-)"<BR/><BR/>Of course, I didn't know they'd got as far as talking about disposing of the "dregs of the old society." Not surprised though.<BR/><BR/>However, Billy, I will say that if I can make the journey from commie puke to a Christian advocate of republicanism, hope still springs eternal for you. ;-)<BR/><BR/>Even so, I promise not to proseletize on insecure tactical channels. I'll leave that job to my RTO. ;-)<BR/><BR/>Mike Vanderboegh<BR/>IIIAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2469109905542911409.post-27652394934652448882008-10-24T14:31:00.000+01:002008-10-24T14:31:00.000+01:00"I'm living proof that Chesterton was wrong."There..."I'm living proof that Chesterton was wrong."<BR/><BR/>There are very few Atheists -- or maybe the better word is Materialists -- who hold a Christian worldview, the source of individual rights. <BR/><BR/>Materialists who espouse individual rights are espousing a contradiction of their own premises (see Without a Prayer: Ayn Rand and the Close of Her System by John W.

KNOWING who Ayers was (and has remained-he's unrepentant), he STILL associated with him (and more, probably involving strategizing and active cooperation). In light of the information in the video here, THAT is cause for great fear if he should get into the White House (esp. with super-majorities in Congress).<BR/><BR/>All that I can say about those who would attempt to murder large numbers of Americans for trying to preserve our way of life is: "Weatherman, come and take them!" http://moviesonline.ca/TheFeed/index.php?id=300-laydownyourweapons<BR/><BR/>Molon Labe!<BR/><BR/>IIIAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
