At home, the hard-right Alternative for Germany party has scored a string of victories in state elections.[1]"Hard-right," of course, means simple common sense and patriotism. It's a term that will never be published within a 1,000 miles of the term "hard-left," unless the Times allows it to happen accidentally.

Liberalism!
How else to explain the appointment of Anetta Kahane, the former Stasi informer, as the woman in charge of monitoring the internet for "xenophobic" comments? There's an appointment that virtually shouts out one's commitment to the key liberal right of free speech! (Kahane's views on open borders and "diversity" are the by-now-current mad views, and are yet another reason to understand that "liberalism" to Merkel and the New York Times means obliteration of whites. Sign me up!!)
Paying lip service to "democracy, freedom, as well as respect for the rule of law and the dignity of each and every person regardless of their origin, skin color, creed, gender, sexual orientation or political views" is apparently sufficient to establish Merkel's "liberal" credentials. Smale and Erlangernov, ace New York Times reporters, have the political acumen of children. Blowing airy lefty bubbles and indulging in lefty intimidation do not amount to liberalism.

Those on the left still haven't learned that the hard right they fear was really the hard left. National SOCIALIST party ring a bell?
ReplyDeleteWell said. Unthinking people bought the idea they have to fear the Gestapo on the right but "right" is always a vague portion of the spectrum defined no more precisely than by saying that's where all the mean people congregate. Meanwhile the slaughter and torture on the left is invisible to them. It IS "mean" to demand that people live up to standards, law, contracts, promises, custom, and ethical principles. The left's scorn for law, custom, and ethics is a tremendous relief for fallible people and they gladly buy into the animus of the left toward those who demand conformity to standards.
ReplyDeleteConfucius had it right about the rectification of names.
First of all I want to say excellent blog! I had a quick question which I'd like to ask if you do not mind. I was interested to find out how you center yourself and clear your head before writing. I've had difficulty clearing my mind in getting my thoughts out there. I truly do enjoy writing however it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are usually wasted just trying to figure out how to begin. Any recommendations or tips? Kudos!
