1. The Supreme Court allows the promotion of violence through its enablement of corporations and entire industries to meddle in politics, driving out the most responsible politicians who are replaced by the most irresponsible. Corporate person hood, the permission to lie, making it impossible to either punish or outlaw lying in politics and in broadcast or print media.
2. The Republican Supreme Court we've had for a long time now, has baldly enabled the gun industry which backs their party. It has a direct role in the promotion of serial mass murder in the United States. It is way past time to stop lying about that.
3. Our Constitution has not only failed to protect us from the combined forces that have conspired to produce these serial mass murders, it has defects that make it simple for thugs in robes and in legislatures and executive offices to do what has been done. Our Constitution which didn't prevent the Supreme Court from making corporations immortal, super-persons and, specifically, the horribly written Second Amendment and the idiotic permission to lie given by some of the most muddle-headed pseudo-liberal rulings of the past half century combined to produce the epidemic of mass murder by gun which is the real terror campaign against the American People.
4. The foolish founders believed that a sense of honor would be a sufficient replacement for a sense of morality and explicitly written legal documents, even as their own actions disproved that belief. Their attempts at poetry as legislation are in the most serious need of correction from the two centuries and more of living with their bad decisions and, in their foolishness, they made it almost impossible to do that under the rules they made. Our Constitution is most in need of being knocked off of the pedestal that the beneficiaries of the status quo which is killing us have glued it to.
NEWSLINE: "The Holocaust: Ben Carson Says Genocide May Have Been Avoided if Jews Were Armed"
ReplyDeleteNo,Ben, you big dummy -- the Holocaust could have been avoided if somebody had shot Charles Darwin.
:-)
Who knows, Sims, maybe that's true. We know that while he was in prison he was reading the eugenics text of Fischer, Baur and Lenz, probably the most science Hitler had ever read and it base what they said about the heredity of characteristics, race, the ranking of people according to biological "fitness" on natural selection. If natural selection had never been invented by Darwin or if he'd rejected the eugenics interpretation of it in the 1870s the scientific racism that flowed, directly and explicitly from the reading of On the Origin of Species and, especially, from The Descent of Man may not have come up. It was, afterall, Darwin's closest colleagues and supporters such as Galton and Haeckel who immediately made that interpretation of his ideas, with his support and his closest colleague of all, Thomas Huxley, who, as Lincoln was abolishing slavery in the United States, said that the result of turning slaves from "well kept animals" into "inferior men" would be their extermination, for which he shed as few tears as Christopher Hitchens said should have been shed for the inhabitants of the Americas in his Nation column in the fall of 1992.
DeleteI posted your comment so 1. I could point that out and 2. so people would see the kind of crass stupidity you would like me to post here but which I sometimes spare my readers. Let me guess, Duncan didn't with this comment.
You're right, Sparky. Centuries of European Christian anti-Semitism weren't the cause of the Nazi Final Solution to the Jewish Problem. What was I thinking?
ReplyDeleteIf you were smart enough to pose a trick question, the trick would be the last five words because you've never had a thought in your shallow, ignorant life.
DeleteThe Nazis were engaged in trying to destroy the Christian churches of Germany and Europe as they were murdering Jews, none of the Nazi high command could have been said to have been good at following the teachings of Jesus or his early followers, several, notably Hitler's second in command, Martin Borman and his chief of propaganda Alfred Rosenberg were viciously anti-Christian atheists. So, no, Sims, the evidence would indicate that their genocide against Jews and other groups was based on their understanding of biological science, not religion. Hitler was as explicit in his intentions of wiping out the Pols, he announced that policy to the troops on the eve of the invasion of Poland, telling them to kill as many Pols of all ages and genders as they could. Polish clergy was especially targeted and, even as they faced genocide, as well, the Pols, most of them Catholics, had the best record of any Europeans in hiding Jews from the Nazis. That's straight from Yad Vashem.
A better question would be why, as it was obvious that the Germans were preparing to murder Jews, in the days after Kristallnacht and countries such as Britain were proposing to take in Jewish children David Ben-Gurion said, "If I knew that it was possible to save all the children of Germany by transporting them to England, and only half by transferring them to the Land of Israel, I would choose the latter, for before us lies not only the numbers of these children but the historical reckoning of the people of Israel."
And, you don't want to go into it but Ben Hecht had some really eye-opening and horrifying things to say on that count, as well.
Your concern is noted, boychik.
ReplyDeleteOh, yeah, I can see the smoke from your little brain working that response out from here. Or is that someone burning trash without a permit?
DeleteIt is perhaps no accident that this subject is the one you always double down on.
ReplyDeleteSims, you've played that card way too often and way too dishonestly for anyone who knows you to believe it. Just your ignorance on the relevant topics involved would make anyone who had bothered reading about it discount you as anything but a dishonest creep who plays on his ethnicity on the frequent occasions that he can't argue his way out of a wet paper bag. I knew gay men who did the same thing and they were as big a bunch of assholes as you are, Irish guys, too. Irish guys who had never been discriminated against or suffered anything but who would gas on about supporting the IRA and drunkenly pick fights on who was or wasn't sufficiently anti-Brit. You have no credibility. you never deserved to have anyone make the assumption that you might.
DeleteI figured it was time someone said it, I doubt your buddies at E-ton will.
Listen you crackpot jackass --
ReplyDeleteEvolutionists didn't round up my relatives, put them into box cars, and ship them off to death camps.
European Christian anti-semites did. You know, the whole Final Solution to the Jewish Problem. You may have heard of it.
What the fuck is wrong with you, as if I didn't know.
"European Christian anti-semites did"
DeleteTo pretend that the idea of natural selection wasn't behind the Nazi's racial genocide, blaming that on anti-semitism is a. ahistorical, b. a vulgar reduction of the significance of THE NON-JEWISH GROUPS WHO WERE EQUALLY MARKED FOR EXTERMINATION, INCLUDING CHRISTIANS. The Pols were as marked for extermination, they were on about the same schedule as Jews, just behind them. If the Nazis hadn't been defeated the Pols, other Slavs, other racial and ethnic groups, would have also been wiped out by the same policies. The group about which you had no problem taking a swipe at, the Roma, were being murdered at the same time as Jews were being murdered in large numbers, in the same death camps, in the same gas chambers and incinerated in the same ovens as Jews were being killed, most of them Christians. Only it's clear they mean nothing to you.
Keep defending the indefensible, Sparky. It makes you look SOOOO good.
ReplyDelete:-)
No, let's have this out, once and for all. You couldn't care less about any of the victims of the Nazis other than those you can claim some use for, for yourself. You don't care about any of them, they are nothing to you, whereas, for me, all of them were equally of worth, all of them equally of more than mere value, all of them were equally as murdered, equally as wrongly, even as wrongly as those members of my family who died fighting the Nazis, none of those victims of Nazism having any more value than any others because people are above the vulgar transaction of assigning value. That is the case for me because I take The Law and the teachings of Jesus seriously.
DeleteFor you, it's all a question of what they're worth TO YOU, of how they can be used BY YOU.
THE FINAL SOLUTION TO THE JEWISH PROBLEM.
ReplyDeleteWhat part of that don't you understand?
What part of this don't you underestand?
Delete"Our strength is our quickness and our brutality. Genghis Khan had millions of women and children hunted down and killed, deliberately and with a gay heart. History sees in him only the great founder of States. What the weak Western European civilization alleges about me, does not matter. I have given the order – and will have everyone shot who utters but one word of criticism – that the aim of this war does not consist in reaching certain designated [geographical] lines, but in the enemies' physical elimination. Thus, for the time being only in the east, I put ready my Death's Head units, with the order to kill without pity or mercy all men, women, and children of the Polish race or language. Only thus will we gain the living space that we need."
Hitler in a speech he gave August 22, 1939 to officers who would be in charge of the invasion of Poland the next week.
It's clear what part of it you don't think is at all significant, all of it.
Of course, the answer is "all of it."
ReplyDelete:-)
You know, I was just watching Chaplin's THE GREAT DICTATOR. It's amazing how many speeches there reference Charles Darwin and evolution.
ReplyDeleteI give you Hitler telling his troops to kill every man, woman and child who are Polish and you give me Charlie Chaplin.
DeleteAnd people at Duncan's Brain Trust think you're brilliant.
You can go on proving what I said about you as many comments as you like, I'm going to post this exchange. People need to see it.
That is the case for me because I take The Law and the teachings of Jesus seriously.
ReplyDeleteWhere did Jesus teach? Fairleigh Dickinson?
I'm going to post this exchange. People need to see it.
ReplyDeleteThey sure do, you crackpot moron. They sure do.
:-)
To take the murders of Pols, Roma, etc. seriously makes someone a "crackpot moron" in the Simels mind.
DeleteAs I said, keep proving what I said, It's OK by me.
Jews? The Holocaust?
ReplyDeleteJust a coincidence.
:-)
The sum of Sims
Delete" Genocide against the Roma, Pols, Slavs, etc. Naw, can't use them, mere details."
Okay, this is just deeply sad, Sparky.
ReplyDeletePlease -- go have an ice cream party with David Irving.
Oh, but, you're the one who is discounting genocide here, not me. You've got a lot more in common with that scumbag of a liar than I'll ever have. He only disbelieves one genocide more than you seem to. I haven't heard you acknowledge any others.
DeleteI hear you're writing a Dr. Seuss book, Sparky.
ReplyDeleteHOW THE JEWS HIJACKED THE HOLOCAUST.
While it's obvious that your ego is boundless, Sims, let me break this to you as hard as I can, you don't comprise "The Jews", you certainly don't even comprise most of the Jews, not even the Jews who I've known. You don't even comprise all of the Jews who happen to also be assholes who I know, most of the Jews I've known who were also assholes are far smarter and less assholish than you are.
DeleteYou actually know some Jews? Wow, I'm impressed.
ReplyDelete:-)
Try harder, Sims, that wasn't even second grade level comeback.
DeleteSo you don't know any Jews?
ReplyDeleteI think what you've really been meaning to say for about the last five comments is, "I got nutthin". Which would be the first true thing you'd said here.
