Rush Limbaugh's December 2018 Limbaugh Letter has an article titled "Demonizing White Men." It highlights -- with actual quotations from people in the media, academia and the political and entertainment arenas -- the attack on white men as a class. You can decide whether these statements are decent, moral or even sensible. Should we support their visions?
Don Lemon, a CNN anchorman, said, "We have to stop demonizing people and realize the biggest terror threat in this country is white men, most of them radicalized to the right, and we have to start doing something about them." Steven Clifford, former King Broadcasting CEO, said, "I will be leading a great movement to prohibit straight white males, who I believe supported Donald Trump by about 85 percent, from exercising the franchise (to vote), and I think that will save our democracy." Teen Vogue, a magazine targeting teenage girls, wrote, "Not only is white male terrorism as dangerous as Islamic extremism, but our collective safety rests in rooting out the source of their radicalization." Economist Paul Krugman, a New York Times columnist, wrote a column titled "The Angry White Male Caucus," in which he explained, "Trumpism is all about the fear of losing traditional privilege."
There have been similar despicable statements made by academics. James Livingston, a Rutgers history professor: "OK, officially, I now hate white people. ... I hereby resign from my race. F--- these people." Stacey Patton, a Morgan State University professor: "There is nothing more dangerous in the United States than a white man who has expected to succeed and finds himself falling behind." Stony Brook University sociology professor Michael Kimmel explained, "White men's anger comes from the potent fusion of two sentiments: entitlement and a sense of victimization."
Then there's the political arena. Sen. Bernie Sanders: "There's no question that in Georgia and in Florida racism has reared its ugly head. And you have candidates who ran against (Andrew) Gillum and ran against Stacey Adams who were racist. ... And that is an outrage." Michael Avenatti, criticizing the GOP senators during the Brett Kavanaugh hearings: "These old white men still don't understand that assault victims and women deserve respect and to be heard." "What troubles me is ... they're all white men," commented former Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm regarding GOP senators questioning Christine Blasey Ford at the Kavanaugh hearings. William Falk, editor-in-chief of The Week, said, "There's something odd about the overwhelming white maleness of Washington's current leadership."
Not to be outdone, entertainers have hopped on the demonizing-white-men bandwagon. Joy Behar, talking on ABC's "The View" about senators supporting Kavanaugh, said: "These white men -- old, by the way -- are not protecting women. They're protecting a man who is probably guilty." Actress Gabourey Sidibe, also on "The View," said: "Older white men are a problem, y'all, for everyone. We're all at risk." Moira Donegan wrote an article for The Guardian titled "Half of white women continue to vote Republican. What's wrong with them?" Renee Graham wrote a column in The Boston Globe that counseled, "Memo to black men: Stop voting Republican." Comedian Chelsea Handler tweeted, "Just a friendly reminder for the weekend: No white after Labor Day, and no old, white racist men after the midterms. Get out and vote."
That is just a partial list of statements that would be viewed and condemned as racist simply by replacing "white men" with "black men," "Mexican men" or "Asian men." You can bet the rent money that university presidents and media executives would sanction any of their employees for making similar broad, sweeping statements about nonwhite men. Suppose a white anchorman said, "Black people are the greatest murder threat in this country." I guarantee you that he'd be shown the door.
There are only two ways to explain the silence by people who should know better. Either they agree with the sentiments expressed or they are out-and-out cowards. Decent American people ought to soundly reject and condemn this brazen attack on white men. I think that the attack is on masculinity itself and that white men are a convenient scapegoat -- for now.
...liberalism really is a mental disorder.”
The majority of liberals use marijuana and other recreational drugs.

You are right. Along with school indoctrination, TV and Hollywood the literally “dopey” statements by Dems are affected by the now commonplace drug use since 1966 or so.
There is a category called “daily marijuana user” I heard used when they were drug testing the school bus drivers in one state. Then I ran into a passage in Hollies and Crosby Stills & Nash singer Graham Nash’s autobiography Wild Tales “I have been a daily marijuana user since....”
Despite all the ridicule of the campy classic Reefer Madness and warnings by J. Edgar Hoover , there is a lot of evidence of the deterioration of brain function from marijuana. Along with “lack of interest in a full time job” the users are not always half asleep. Some have sudden explosive outbursts and become violent. This aspect is downplayed or deleted from stories.
My terribly misguided state of Michigan’s voters enacted a law to legalize marijuana use. Shocking and disgraceful.
I pray that it isn’t my car or yours that faces a delusional drug user at the wheel of his vehicle crossing over the lines to face ours head on.
In short, lemon does not see white people as people. This happened in the 1930s and 1940s when Jewish people were not considered people and were eliminated.I
Buy guns an ammo, folks and never give them up. State after me, “I sold them all a few years ago, officer.”
JoMa
Maybe mulatto men, like Don Lemon and 0bama, are the real racist demonizers.
They dehumanize, then they eliminate. Already in progress.
They plan to eliminate Whites, after taking all our money.

Absolutely right.
This has to be a deliberate leftist strategy because otherwise Nancy Pelosi wouldn’t have started saying “white” and “white supremacists” in statements.
Like the years they said “glass ceiling for women” “working families” “fairness in taxation” “we have always been a nation of immigrants” “protect a woman’s health by keeping abortion legal” “health care is a right” and other cliches. All part of the leftist deliberate plans of attack for each phase of their power grab.
Mentioning the demonized whites is a truly dangerous trend.
If anyone objects they are fired, insulted on TV and shunned forever.

"Disarming us?"
Hell, any of "us" that haven't been picking out "project mayhem" targets already probably aren't worth disarming....
Agree and it's wise to have storage somewhere other than your home.
Great article ... am sending the link to folks I know who don’t participate in this forum, but would profit from reading it.
Got a link? I'm not too familiar with the landscape over there.
Huh ... that reminds me: I haven’t bought a gun yet this year.
Those advocating genocide are his slavish handmaidens and promote his wickedness, stupidly thinking it is to their own gain. Fools, all. But history has shown they are exceedingly dangerous and too often successful in their pursuit of mass murders and destruction. Now they are working feverishly in our midst.
That reminds me of something I saw recently on TV about WWII. During the FDR, Churchill and Stalin meeting, FDR stated to Stalin that "God is with the Allies." Stalin replied that the devil is with us (USSR) because he is a communist. (paraphrased)
You’re right that is an excellent thread over there

Leviathan already figures in the Hebrew Bible as a metaphor for a powerful enemy, notably Babylon (Isaiah 27:1), and some scholars have pragmatically interpreted it as referring to large aquatic creatures, such as the crocodile.

A pragmatic interpretation indeed, as the crocodile is the quintessential swamp creature:
Job 41
14 Who can open the doors of his face? his teeth are terrible round about.
15 His scales are his pride, shut up together as with a close seal.
16 One is so near to another, that no air can come between them.
17 They are joined one to another, they stick together, that they cannot be sundered.
The scales are his protective armor, including but not limited to the entrenched Obama holdovers, the alphabet soup agencies, the media...
Q: Who can open the doors of his face?
A: That guy wearing a MAGA hat. Even (or especially) a 17 YO HS student named Mr. Sandmann. He's got big dreams that allow him to open the face of and stare down the throat of the Leviathan. And then make some nice boots.
What's the perp description for the worst of the worst character who "needs to die?"
- white
- American
- male
- Christian
- "privileged", educated
- rural type, drives a truck
- polluter (just look at all the carbon emmissions from his gas engines and his wood stove too)
- gun owner
- hunter, outdoorsman (how many more environmental crimes involved there)
- veteran
- home schooler (he's obviously hiding something and brainwashing his children against the LGBTQXYZ agenda)
- climate change denier (what else will he deny?)
- MAGA supporter
(That Jews have been hated forever goes without saying... it boils down the the heart of who a person is, and the dangerous threat that he creates merely by existing.)
God is watching. The Biblical pattern is the element of surprise, when at the last moment it all goes horribly wrong for those whose system is "too big to fail".
Redemption comes from the unlikeliest direction. The destroyers won't know what hit them.
I know I sound like a broken record but:
Peaceful coexistence with the Left isn’t possible. We need to stop pretending that it is.

There are many on the right that are going to be widowers and childless unless they get their families under control.
This is getting serious.
I read that as an ambiguous statement. Does the perceived "white men's anger" come from the "entitlement and a sense of victimization" of liberal snowflakes? Could be.
A few of us have long recognized that a war on American white males began in earnest around 1965 with the passage of a landmark act that enshrined it into American law.
The Civil Rights Act of 1964 was the camel’s nose under that tent. And when combined with the 1965 Hart-Cellar Immigration Act that shifted immigration from Europe to the the 3rd world, it set in motion the process that has led to the demonizing of white American men and their ancestors.
The demographics of America in 1965 were 90% white and 10% black. “Other” was so insignificant as to not even be counted.
With 90% of the population being white, our political and cultural betters were quite comfortable with throwing a good portion of white America under the bus.
After all, it wasn’t going to affect those in the upper tiers of society, with money and power. It would just be the lower class rubes, the ones that the current National Review believes should just die off.
With non-white immigration continuing at record levels, National Review’s wish is coming to pass. The white America that ‘Boomers were born into is the defacto enemy of all that is good, woke, progressive, and socially just.
And don’t be surprised at all of the useful idiots among Republicans and Conservatism, Inc who will cheer this on. It’s why a Nikki Haley is comfortable in joining the Left in their culture war against any memory of the Confederacy. After all, like the rest of the post 1965 imports it’s not her ancestors being demonized and erased. And it won’t stop there.
The Civil Rights Act of 1964 was the camel’s nose under that tent. And when combined with the 1965 Hart-Cellar Immigration Act that shifted immigration from Europe to the the 3rd world, it set in motion the process that has led to the demonizing of white American men and their ancestors.
Indeed, this has been coming to a head for a long time. Many whites still have yet to realize or understand it. Or are so conditioned as to be oblivious to it. You can not defend yourself if you don't understand the threat. We are under attack specifically because we are white and defenders of the West. We must organize or eventually we will be crushed.
