It isn’t entirely true that, as Lord Acton said, “Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.” It’s often the case that power simply allows people the luxury of lowering façades and showing their true colors.
A good example is the recent behavior of many on the Left. Commentator Donald Kaul just wrote that he had no problem with guns being pried from their owners’ “cold, dead hands” and that Republican leaders should be dragged around a parking lot with a pick-up truck. A European college professor recommended the execution of “Climate Change Deniers” and the Pope. Closer to home, an American academic called for NRA president Wayne LaPierre’s “head on a stick” in some profanity laden tweets. And then there was voice of moderation Harry Belafonte; he didn’t ask for blood — only that Barack Obama arrest political opponents (prompting me to spoof a song in his honor).
Ah, it’s a long way from Woodstock and peace and love, isn’t it?
You might not expect such hostility, with Barack Obama’s reelection and the liberal dominance of our culture; you might think the leftists would be satisfied with their many legislative wins and be busy planning political strategy. Think again. As I wrote recently, with liberals’ victory in the culture war — and it is over — they’re now embarking upon something else: a pacification effort.

They crack me up.
Sure they will. They have done it many times before throughout history.
And every time they do, more of them die than kill. And so another era of relative stability reigns. Until, like muslims, they rebuild and do it all again.
It’s all happened before and will all happen again. And because most of living America has been miseducated to believe otherwise, it will all come as a shock.
For those over 35ish-40, it’s not.
Every single day now, i see stories in the mainstream media that are like 3rd reich stories about Jews.
This week alone, i have read how the NRA and it’s members should be declared a terror organization, that GOP leadership should be dragged behind trucks, that those who oppose Obama should be arrested, that the constitution should be suspended or ignored completely, and that all gun owners should be publically exposed because they are similar to child molesters. That was just this week.
There is no issue like slavery to be decided. They have simply declared war on us because they hate us for opposing their revolution. Everything they say in the papers, and in the government chambers, they -literally- intend to do.
We are not seeking to do anything to them, but they are obsessed with changing us into their image. This will not end well unless they stop their effort. But i know they won’t. Sickening to see this actually happening here after we saw this act all over the world. Our turn in the barrel i guess.
Remember one thing. Most raging libs will not do anything but hide in a closet when the revolution launches full force by their heros.
And most cops will not risk life and family to participate. Nor will the lilitary.
Sure a number will. As we say in Germany.
But this ain’t 1036. And a whole bunch of us are not going willingly on a cattle car.
They will do what they will do. And they will reap the whirlwind outnumbered literally thousands to one. Because when you get right down to the actual ‘needs of the ‘revolution’, there are WAY more internet Libs than Bill Aytes types.
They ain’t doin SQUAT.
Could have I made any more typos than I did in that post?
I doubt it....
“Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely, and Leftist Power always has a f***ing excuse.” -theDentist
Let's hope that what Japanese Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto (supposedly) said -- "I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve." -- still rings true.
You are absolutely correct. Take a look (if you can stomach it) at Democratic Underground sometime. They hate us to the bone and would gladly send their fellow citizens off to the gas chambers, machine gun pits or method of mass killing of their choice to see their utopian vision through.
Anyone who gives up their guns knowing what the Left thinks of half of us is a damn fool. Remember Bill Ayres' comment - something to the effect that 25 million Americans will have to be killed in order to create the changes the Left is looking for.
It amazes me that the people who are so dead set against the death penalty as punishment for murderers and rapists are the very same people who literally wish to see people who don’t agree with them politically to be killed.

We may need to bitch-slap 150 million.
Oh, i wholeheartedly agree with you. My comment that it’s sad to see it happening here is that no good will come of it. But they will never be able to prevail against the citizenry that resists.
There will indeed be no “getting on the trains”. That is their big mistake. They saw gun confiscation whined about and complied with in England and Australia. Then they saw it fully complied with. They truly expect the same response here.
This is ending in a fight, a blind man can see that. A determined revolutionary regime is determined to openly abandon the constitution and enslave us,,,and the targeted population is armed to the teeth, heavily experienced, and has nowhere to flee.
If they do not stop, it will almost certainly happen. Their articles are more hate filled each month as they whip each other into a frenzy. Something will trigger them to make a move, we will defend ourselves, and it will be “on”.
And the left will be killing us soon too if we don’t stand up while we still can.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
They would kill us now if they could. They just can’t get away with it .....yet.
Hey Kaul, Pluck Yew!
“there are WAY more internet Libs than Bill Aytes types.”
They have scrupulously avoided any sort of military training, work as a street cop or sheriffs deputy, work as a lumberjack, welder, metalworker, construction worker, farmer, etc.
99% of them would find themselves deeply unprepared for a shooting war.
Our side is filled with people who have encyclopedic knowledge of military history, they have the shop skills to build IEDS, they can shoot rifles with astonishing accuracy, run an insurgency, and fight well.
When I was in high school (and this was many decades ago) the only book that I was assigned to read that was even remotedly relating to anti Communism was "One Day in the Life of Denosovich (the only Solzhenitsyn book that was officially released by the USSR)." That was how bad things were and we never learned about the Holodomor; see Harvest of Despair (caution 55 minutes long) until Robert Conquest wrote The Harvest of Sorrow many many years later.
Just as addition/along the lines of your posts (and I agree totally with them)...
One of the things I have said is that These people for the most part cannot survive a campout without a power inverter, microwave and a cell phone for Pizza delivery.
When the SHTF, most will quickly starve and die from medical related problems...if not die of exposure without power. Also consider that libs with skill will quickly resort to human slavery. It’s in their makeup as history shows. Most of the survivors will become the slaves of the ‘strong’ libs and be relegated to sex slavery and manual labor. Road Warrior Scenario.
History does not lie.
But like you say Our team is far better prepared. Even those of us that lack the actual skills to thrive have the mindset to do so. No, not all and we will have attrition too. But most can and will learn what to do. And those that know how will teach.
The mindset of the lib is to horde such knowledge as knowledge is power.
People think I’m in tinfoil land saying that. But when you wargame this out, that’s the result.
Run thee to Amazon and get “48 laws of power” by Robert Greene.
That’s all of it in a few hundred pages. Everything needed to know about 21st century earth.
