Liberals’ Lust for Their Own “Infinity Stones”
www.TrevorGrantThomas.com ^ | 5/11/2018 | Trevor Grant Thomas

In spite of a wide array of characters with varying story lines, Marvel Studios has done a good job of weaving a common thread throughout multiple films in order to bring most of their characters together in Avengers: Infinity War. …

Thanos—the chief antagonist of the film—is, of course, a murderous thug. He has tremendous power and is bent on having things his way. And “his way” means killing off half of the universe. As the film makes clear, he is motivated to do such in order to bring “balance” to what he sees as an over-populated universe. …

The so-called “Infinity Stones” are the common thread skillfully woven throughout many of the previous Marvel films. There are six of these stones, with each giving its owner a unique and tremendous power. As explained in Guardians of the Galaxy, “…Whoever controls all six stones and wields them using the Infinity Gauntlet has the power to reshape reality.”…if one possesses all of the stones—Thanos’ goal in Infinity War—then one gains “omnipotence and omniscience.” At the end of Infinity War Thanos has all of the stones. He merely snaps his fingers and his plan for population control takes effect. …

Whether big government liberalism, socialism, communism, and the like, modern leftists have long lusted for the power to “reshape” the world into their perverse version of “reality,” and a mere snap of their fingers would suit them just fine. …

Of course, the real-world equivalent of the Infinity Stones is totalitarianism, and far too many of today’s American left are far too comfortable with an all-powerful state led by those who are “wise in their own eyes” and devoted to the “theology of self.”

I’ll take the key to time and Romana II in her prime. K9 is very welcome too. Who doesn’t love the tin dog? Excepting Tom Baker. He was jealous that K9 got more fan mail.

Not that familiar with Doctor Who. Sorry. (Are the modern versions any good? I’ve thought of giving them a try.)

Most of the new series is very good. I’ll reserve judgment on Nurse Who.

The effects and writing have matured.

Key to time was a 4th Doctor serial. Full of the 70s low budget camp and effects.

And one stone to rule them all?

There really is nothing new under the sun, is there?

Ha! Not sure if The Avengers are going to have to make a trek into Mordor or not.

Infinity Stones? Feh.

I just want to be "Q" for a day. Or maybe two.

I’ve noticed modern versions on Netflix and/or Amazon Prime. Might have to give it a try.

Capaldi was my favorite out of the new run.

Tough competition though, the other Doctors were good in their own rights.

When I was getting a graduate degree in nursing at the University of Washington back in the 90’s, the faculty held up this blasted woman as some sort of “role model.”

In an indictment of themselves and their cause(s), the left has long held Sanger—and the like—in high esteem. Tragic.
