My Journey from Frustration to Outrage to Seething Anger
American Thinker ^ | 22 Nov, 2023 | Lewis Dovland

Posted on 11/22/2023 4:43:23 AM PST by MtnClimber

I have had it. My past sense of frustration with the damaging policies of the left has moved to outrage and anger because I’m finally seeing the results of the Big Picture in action. The movement from mere disagreement on key policies to the left’s raw, full-throated imposition of their ideas using administrative actions rather than legislation has placed our society in danger of collapse and the real possibility of a major world war.

A combination of evil psychopaths and craven, effete professors misled and miseducated the bulk of our citizenry, creating cadres of Lenin’s ‘Useful Idiots’ that can be spun up into mobs on a moment’s notice. This, combined with the bumbling ineptitude and ignorance in our administrative state, all add to my outrage.

Let’s look at the list of just some examples of conduct that is beyond the Pale:

- I am enraged that our US Congress continues to pile debt upon debt, with no consequences because it isn’t the politicians’ money (Cloward-Piven). And they can’t be held accountable. They just keep increasing the debt limit.

- I am outraged that Washington absconded with the power vested in the federated structure of our Constitution, which intends for most power to be issued from the states, and then assigned that power to an administrative state, where bureaucrats’ regulations are enforced like laws.

- I am outraged that the Marxism we permitted into our higher education system at blue-chip universities has now created hateful, anti-Israeli, pro-terrorism, Marxist progressive students who blindly believe that Israel must be eliminated.

- I have seething anger about the takeover of K-12 education by leftist teacher unions and school boards that indoctrinate children during their formative years in racism, victimhood, and LGBTQ++ matters, denounce mainstream culture and religion, and tear down...

“A combination of evil psychopaths and craven, effete professors misled and miseducated the bulk of our citizenry, creating cadres of Lenin’s ‘Useful Idiots’ that can be spun up into mobs on a moment’s notice.”

I am slightly consoled knowing that the intellectual elites were the first ones to go once the Stalin and the communists did fully seize power. Many of the ones who spun the gears of the revolution were the first ones purged. Stalin knew damn well that if these people can convince idiots to foment a revolution for Stalin, then they could foment a revolution against him.

I remember reading a book where the author talked about professors just disappearing if they ever said anything that could be hinted at slightly as anti-revolutionary.

Calm down, you’re going to stroke-out. That’s no way to live.

That attitude of apathy and conflict avoidance is EXACTLY what got us into this sorry mess. It’s not really the fault of the tyrannical Leftists; they are like the metaphorical snake, that’s just their nature. ALL of the blame rests squarely upon the shoulders of the “live and let live” types who buried their heads in the sand and refused to stand up and stop the approaching evil.

Do not let these people upset you.

They can take your money and your chattels, but hold on to your mind, it is the most valuable thing you can possess.

The yuppies who voted to get $10,000 student loan handouts are primarily to blame. Too bad they’ll be paying ~$2,000/month rent for years to come instead of getting on the housing ladder. As Xi would say - “eat bitterness”.

My mother’s parents voted with their feet.

My father’s ancestors voted with their feet long before my mother’s parents.

Consider yourselves Jews in Weimar Germany.

As Claire Wolfe once said: “America is in an awkward phase. It’s too late to change the system and too soon to start shooting the bastards.”

“working class families struggle”

Where do we park the new boat & new golf cart?

Two huge new storage places have recently been built within a few miles of my house. A third was built about three years ago.

“Joe Biden”

His mind rots away and he is powerless to prevent it.

Bump to that. In the mean time, Happy Thanksgiving! Still a lot to be thankful for.

I don’t think that’s how it will work in general. Instead, the government will prevent “violators” from travel and purchasing food until they turn in their guns.

Ha.If you don’t believe some righteous indignation is in order here then you deserve what you get.

Clever move by the Democrat/Communists, obscuring the profound difference between two words that sound very much alike -- equality and equity -- but which produce entirely different results when applied to policy and practice.

Democrat/Communists are very talented at this and have been for a long time. It's like the Eagles' up-the-ass shove ... we haven't found a defense against it.

Put each gun collected in its own black plastic trash bag by trees about 100 feet west from highway 80 in the wooded area west of town, and don’t hang around the area.

“refused to stand up and stop the approaching evil”

Evil often bears a trademarked name.

Use your wallets and purses carefully.

Retire as soon as you can. Taper down your business as much as practical.
