Earlier this month Andrew Sullivan, a well-known writer, once in the center, now on the left, nominated me for what is apparently his lowest badge of distinction for defending citizens who shoot to wound graffiti vandals, or "taggers," while committing their vandalism.
Under the heading, "Malkin Award Nominee," Sullivan provides a quote from my radio show:

Good job Viking2002.
Personally I like rock slat and a short 12 gauge.
Salt. Not slat, slat.

Thanks. I searched but somehow missed it. (slaps self)
today the graffiti writers shoot and kill innocent people.
... conservatives tend to view higher civilization as more fragile than the left views it. Conservatives believe the line between civilization and barbarism is under constant assault and is not necessarily enduring.
Conservatives are better students of history than are liberals. The road of history is littered with the carcasses of advanced civilizations.
Someday ask me about my experiences with graffiti on my small factory building in Camden NJ. The fines I had to pay unless I repainted it. And of course when I did repaint it the “artists” came right back and did it all over again. But hey, I'm a businessman, I can afford it.
No. On second thought I won't waste your time. I spoke with my feet and moved the hell out and left the barbarians to the cesspool they made for themselves.
And , oh yea, took my jobs with me ! That's how cities die, folks.
Quite right. I take notice of your term, “professional homosexuality” which says so very much in two words.
One of the foreign columns assaulting our civilization is the professional homo. In order to defeat them, they must first be recognized. Great term.
Following Praeger’s advice will get you arrested in most (maybe all) states of the union. Vandalism is not a crime which permits you to respond with deadly force (and legally, shooting someone is “deadly force,” even if, as Praeger recommends, you aim for their arms or legs).
Indeed.
And, in fact, the lesson of history is that no civilization survives. It advances until it dies.

Actually, I’m sorry. I cannot get the search function on FR to work for me! I wish it could be improved. Then again, my compooter skills are poor. If you read my comments in that thread, you’ll see that I’m quite passionate about the topic! And,,,, I don’t mind it being restarted again so more people can comment.
Clarification on fines...the city of Camden NJ decided to withhold annual business permits unless you followed their program to clean up all the graffiti by repainting your building...talk about punishing the victim!......after I did it twice with the same results and gave up and let the “art” stay, they didn’t issue the permit and fined me for doing business without a permit.....but the city wouldn’t try to protect your property....that would be too logical for these scumbag democrats......moved out and let them sue me !
We must be ever vigilant to protect our civilization, because we understand that rudimentary fact. They do not. It's that simple.
