Reflections From a Murky Pond

I waited a bit before commenting on the 2018 mid-term elections, partly to give a chance for more state-level results to be made easily available and partly to give myself a chance to see what the consensus fall out was. It was worth the wait because the fall out was both unexpected.

The Left’s Lament

The Left’s party of choice, the Democrats flip the House by a small margin, gained a few Governorships, but lost ground in the Senate. And yet, most of them seem pretty damn angry about the results and feel that they lost, in that they didn’t get their “Blue Wave” or their “fair share” of elected offices across our country.

Essentially, these sorts are ranting because the Democrats overall received more raw, ballots across the nation than the GOP did. Hence, they believe that they should have been given more seats in the Senate, irrespective of the fact that each Seat’s election is a standalone item and not impacted by other election results.  Yes, that is correct. They’re whining because their people, concentrated in a relatively few urban areas, didn’t get to dictate how other people’s elections went.

Of course, this is exactly the sort of hysterical and quasi-mindless lamentations one can expect from a group of people who have:

1. Voluntarily segregated and isolated themselves into a small number of “geographically challenged” of “safe spaces”;
2. Believe that their desires and perceived needs are those of the entirety of the country – except for those deplorable racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, Islamophobic, bigoted Fascists in “Fly Over Country;”
3. Are only concerned with “minority rights” when said minority isn’t White people – who are, of course, deplorable racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, Islamophobic, bigoted Fascists.

Yeah, I guess it sucks for them and to be them. Even when they score some level and form of victory, they lament instead of rejoice because nothing short of their total victory over the American people will suffice.

GOP vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan gave his first 2012 campaign speech at the Iowa State Fair on Monday, August 13, 2012, addressing several thousand appreciative Americans…and several Liberals who turned violent.

It’s sad that the fair’s longstanding tradition of “the soapbox” was marred by Leftist violence but not shocking in the slightest.

Despite the Lamestream Media’s incessant lies about Americans being “extremists” and violent, it has always to date been the Liberals and Progressives who’ve chosen lawlessness to reach their ends.

According to reports from the scene, several protesters tried to force their way onto the stage from which Rep. Ryan was speaking. They struggled with police and had to be physically removed from the stage. Other reports indicated that one female Ryan supporter was punched in the face by a protester, and State Senator Joni Ernst, R-Red Oak, was pushed to the ground.

Other reports from local sources indicate that the Liberal thugs not only assaulted Iowa State Senator Joni Ernst, they also assaulted her her husband and 12-year-old daughter.

Rep. Ryan, exhibiting his trademark aplomb, good character, and high-mindedness, was not silenced by the attacks, nor did he allow these thugs to visibly anger him.

It’s funny because Iowans and Wisconsinites, we like to be respectful of one another and peaceful with one another and listen to each other. These ladies must not be from Iowa.

— Paul Ryan

Much to Iowa’s shame, Rep. Ryan was wrong about these vermin. All of the violent protesters were reported to be from the Action Fund of the Iowa Citizens for Community Improvement, a Left-wing activist organization who regularly employs operatives to violently disrupt political events in the hopes of silencing their American enemies.

Paul Ryan seems to be a good man and a good Christian, preferring to listen to his better angels and to turn the other cheek when attacked by our shared enemies.  I, however, follow a different and less forgiving path as do many others in our country. To that end, below are the contact details for these filth’s headwaters in case anyone wants to email, call, or mail them something to show America’s intolerance for their agenda and methods.

Iowa Citizens for Community Improvement
2001 Forest Avenue, Des Moines, Iowa 50311
T: (515) 282-0484
E: iowacci@iowacci.org

Their core personnel can be found here in case any American wants to take the time to find them and show them the error of their ways in a more personal fashion. 😉

What each of us choose to do to these vermin, if anything, is a matter of personal choice. Be aware though that Leftist violence will only escalate in the coming weeks and month if no strong action is taken to quell them and to apply a chilling effect on their willingness to act.

They certainly need to be taught that reciprocity is a two-way street.

America was founded by courageous, well-educated, and well-spoken extremists. At least the current crop of politicians and the Liberals and Progressives in general would consider them extremists by the standards they’ve decided upon in these latter and lesser times.

A Second Amendment Remedy?

Today, George Washington would be on all sorts of FBI, Homeland Security, and ATF watch lists, if they didn’t set him for a “Ruby Ridge.” Indeed, the Liberals and Progressives would decry America’s first President as a right-wing terrorist and un-American for espousing we, the People’s ability to defend ourselves from the government.

Holes In Wall Of Separation Between Church And State?

These days, John Adams would be denounced and would be called a theocrat and a “Christian Taliban” for his simple statement. He’d be classed as a Christian extremist and, like Washington, would be on all sorts of FBI, Homeland Security, and ATF watch lists, if they didn’t set him for a “Waco.”

Liberals And Progressive Hate Jefferson

All that needs to be said about how Thomas Jefferson would fare today is that he would never be able to leave the country for fear of being killed in a drone strike authorized by Obama.

No, those old school extremists who stood up for personal liberty, overthrew a tyrant’s rule, and created the United States of America would be hated and reviled, if not lethally worse, by the Left and the current regime today.

That is why their words are more important now then they have ever been since first uttered. When the nation’s government and a large segment of its residents would vilify its Founding Fathers, were they present today, those great men’s old school extremism is desperately needed once again.

Just about anyone and everyone in the Civilized World has heard of Left-Wing Extremists and Right-Wing Extremists and people in general have a picture in their minds’ eyes of who they are, what they want, and what sort of danger they pose.

It’s just part and parcel of our cultures.

What is seemingly never considered, much less mentioned aloud, is the possibility of Centrist or Moderate Extremists.  It’s axiomatic that the Center and those with more flexible or moderate socioeconomic and/or -political agendas and goals are not going to produce Extremists who might resort to dangerous methods to enact those agendas and reach those goals.

Is this anything more than an assumption predicated upon nothing but anecdotal evidence, and is it a wise assumption?

I would have always unequivocally said yes; political moderates are not a source for extremist behavior. Then I got a comment on a recent post:

There is a 3rd, although unlikely option.

That is for those of us who hate extremists to finally get fed up and kill both sides.

This would, of course be the best possible option. It’s about time that the majority, who do not belong to either of the crazies, finally have enough of this crap and put an end to it once and for all.

Unfortunately, we’re all busy trying to make a living off what the extremists are doing to our economies, and don’t really have the time or energy to do the right thing.

But eventually it’s time to weed the garden.

Unsurprisingly, my initial response was a mixture of humor and sarcasm. Then I sat back and thought about the situation and realized that there’s no reason why there wouldn’t be and/or couldn’t be a radical Centrist or Moderate movement that was more than willing to use Extremists’ methods to reach their ends.

There’s certainly no reason that I can think of for why such Moderate Extremists would be an impossibility. An individual’s place on the political spectrum – Left v. Right – doesn’t have any intrinsic bearing upon how committed they are to their ideology or to what extremes they would go to achieve dominance or hegemony.

With an increasingly frustrated and angry electorate extremism of action is always a possibility and, as Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear showed, that anger and frustration is shared by the Centrists who decry both the Left and the Right.

Perhaps we should finally fully scrap the the idea that the Center is “safe” and consider them as a potential source of extremism as well…
