The Left's war against America

Absolutely, a few million $'s per year donated to the violent green jihadists and a little more each year donated to the so called respectable Watermelons over a couple of decades would weaken America.

Using the Watermelon economic terrorism tactics, you work on Kali, Oregon and Washington as these 3 states feed a large part of America and provide the lumber, ores and raw materials needed in a modern society.

The electrical power generated in these 3 states from hydro and nuclear power two decades ago was incredible re the available supply. Now Kali can't meet its power supply and last year in a drought year Oregon and Washington.

Besides closing down nuclear power plants, the Watermelon Jihadists have used bad science and the salmon/steelhead to prevent any new dams and to start the closure of others.

They have used the bad science from the spotted owls to shut down most of the logging from federal lands in these 3 states in the past two decades.

Go to this link to see how Sacramento thanks to the rats and the Watermelon Jihadists could be really short of power in this decade. (Link to Sacramento re lack of electrical power)

These watermelon jihadists have been so successful with their lab states, Oregon, Kali and Washington re their economic/eco terrorism, they are now selling their franchises to go nationwide.

One key to the appeal of the left to the demographics mentioned in the article is that it tends to provide a skeletal, easy-to-grasp framework for what are essentially emotional, and not intellectual issues. The demographic of students is more easily swayed by these because they do not have the necessary time spent in study to understand the realworld complexities of politics - this is the reason so much of leftwing politics consists of a bumper-sticker sloganeering that is painfully superficial to observe. There is no need for intellectual rigor here, it's all pre-packaged and pre-digested.

The appeal to the professors is similar but weighted to the theoretical, that is, realworld events are interpreted strictly with regard to a theoretical framework that is all-subsuming; and that evidence that calls the validity of this theoretical framework into question is vigorously denied or twisted to fit. This is nothing more than the paradigm shift Thomas Kuhn detailed in science in his Structure of Scientific Revolution - (this is, BTW, the real meaning of the horribly misused word "paradigm.") Professors, especially second-rate professors, are like that.

That is what we are dealing with in dealing with campus socialism, not simply a collection of sundry authors from Marx through Foucault, but a system of organizing ideas that carries with it its own set of assumptions, its own canon, its own worldview. More is needed to shake its adherents out of their comfortable little rut than a simple study of competing paradigms such as conservatives offer up in Enlightenment philosophers and political theory. That isn't studied by the left because it is not considered worthy of study - it's an old, passe paradigm from which the world has moved on.

That's neat, and convenient, and saves a lot of work for the intellectually lazy, a curt dismissive wave of the hand sufficing to negate two centuries' body of knowledge. But it won't do, and serious academics know it. The proliferation of universities in the United States has, IMHO, diluted the overall quality of its faculties, and second-rate minds are offering second-rate curricula because that is all that they are capable of. This is Politics Lite, and it shows.

"The Black Book of Communism" is horrible in the banality of Communism's evil. The authors did not write only about Russia. They wrote about the rise of Communism in every country where it took root, and about the destruction of those counties as a consequence. Such as China, North Korea, Cuba, etc. There were some differences in each one, but the destruction of each is the same....starvation, moral degradation, extreme poverty, etc. Islam has nothing on Communism for taking a country back to the Dark Ages.

I think it should be required reading in High Schools.

Another book I read recently is "Koba the Dread" by Martin Amis. It's about Stalin, and Amis' writing style makes the familiar information in the book really overwhelming. Plus there is new information.

Martin Amis is the son of Kingsley Amis, a well-known British Communist. Martin hates Communism. The book also is a diatribe against Christopher Hitchens because of Hitchens' continued defense of Lenin. Amis shows in the book that Lenin was every bit as horrible as Stalin. And so was Trotsky.
