What can you do against the lunatic who is more intelligent than yourself, who gives your arguments a fair hearing and then simply persists in his lunacy? ~ George Orwell (6/25/1903 to 1/21/1950)... Eric Arthur Blair was an English novelist, essayist, journalist and critic known by his pen name George Orwell. His work is marked by lucid prose, awareness of social injustice, opposition to totalitarianism, and commitment to democratic socialism.
The following post from Libertarian lunatic wing dinger Willis V. Hart, via his blog.
Willis Hart: On the Lunatic Left and War Criminals... Call George W. Bush (an admittedly ineffectual President) a war criminal and then quote mass murderer Joseph Stalin, not to underscore the evil of the madman but his good 'ol common sense. Thoroughly unbelievable. (2/25/2014 at 2:47pm). |
This because I posted the following quote by Joseph Stalin on another blog where the topic at hand was "political quotes to ponder". Quote as follows...
Joseph Stalin: Mankind is divided into rich and poor, into property owners and exploited; and to abstract oneself from this fundamental division; and from the antagonism between poor and rich means abstracting oneself from fundamental facts. |
The quote doesn't continue from there with "and the way to right this wrong is by subjecting the people to the rule of an elite class who will live like kings by stealing from the people and also murdering millions of them". That would represent the truth of what Stalin did, but he promised to right the wrong he describes with this quote in another manner. Obviously Stalin lied to the people. Now, that does not change the fact that the quote DOES represent a "fundamental fact", even if a mass murdering madman said it.
So, what the eff is Willis' problem? Likely he agrees with his buddy Dennis who remarked that Stalin is my "hero". No, his problem (which I didn't know before) is articulated with yet another commentary that he posted 2 hours and 13 minutes after the first one.
Willis Hart: On Buttressing Your Opinion Via Quoting Joseph Stalin... Call me old fashioned but once a person slaughters over 40 MILLION people, I really don't give a rat's ass what the fiend thinks about ANYTHING, and it astonishes me beyond comprehension how anybody would. Really. (2/25/2014 at 5:00pm). |
Now I understand the Hartster's mistake... I wasn't "buttressing my opinion" by posting the quote, asshole. While I do agree with the fundamental fact contained within the quote, if I had actually been presenting an argument (or attempting to "buttress my opinion") I wouldn't have quoted Stalin (for obvious reasons). I posted it because I was curious as to the reaction it would get. I never figured it would result in 2 posts from Mr. Hart, as well as a decelaration that my posting the Stalin quote "creeps me out the most" from the idiot.
OK, I don't even know why this should be necessary, but let me say that I condemn the murdering that took place under both bush and Stalin. Both lied and presided over murdering for which they are (or will) surely burn in hell for (and yes, I am aware that more people were murdered under Stalin). Quoting someone is NOT an endorsement of them, nor is it the same as declaring said person to be your "hero".
That Willis persists with these vile lies, even after I issued a clarification for the half-wits who concluded that a quote sans any commentary was the same as me saying I admired the murdering under Stalin.
And I didn't say anything when Lester and Dennis both quoted the sociopath Ayn Rand. And I do know at least one of them believes in this POS and her "greed is a virtue" evilness... evil that includes referring to those who accept government assistance as "parasites" and "leeches".
I'm not afraid to call out evil when I encounter it; as with Rand, who fantasized about killing a train full of parasites and leeches (and their enablers) in her weighty tome "Atlas Shrugged" (AS).
when a railway worker in AS decides to punish the wicked socialist government by making a train crash happen, Rand implies the passengers had it coming. She runs through the politics of the train crash victims, implying they were accessories to the socialist government that is being justly punished... [one victim was] an elderly school teacher who who spent her life turning class after class of helpless schoolchildren into miserable cowards, by teaching them that the will of the majority is the only standard of good and evil..." And so endlessly on, through over a dozen deserving victims. "There was not a man aboard the train who did not share one or more of their ideas", she notes - so let them burn. (excerpt from a 3/10/2009 HuffPo article by Johann Hari). |
I also call out the evil of Stalin, a wicked liar who preyed upon his countrymen who only desired fairness and a life in which they were the ones who benefited from the fruits of their labors. And the evil of George W bush, a man who greatly desired a war with Iraq so he could gain political capital (and hand out "reconstruction" money to his cronies) - and lied about WMD that Saddam didn't have - and scared the American people with imaginings of mushroom clouds - to get it.
In conclusion I'd like to say Willis can take his "creeped out" BS and shove it. Stalin also said "one death is a tragedy; one million is a statistic", and there is truth in that... but I surely am not "buttressing my opinion" that mass murder is a inconsequential thing in quoting him.
The vile liar Dennis can take his absurd accusations of "Stalin worship" and stuff them even further.
The quote at the top of my post is a "buttressing of my opinion", BTW. George Orwell, author of "Animal Farm" and a democratic socialist, was an outspoken critic of Joseph Stalin. Wikipedia notes that Orwell was "actively opposed to the controversial ideology of Stalinism. The Soviet Union, he believed, had become a brutal dictatorship, built upon a cult of personality and enforced by a reign of terror".
For the record I am in agreement with Orwell... on lunatics (like Willis V. Hart) as well as in regards to Stalin. Also in regards to his support for democratic socialism.

The potential of a human mind going to waste is indeed a sad sight to witness.
ReplyDeleteStalin was a butchering tyrant that exterminated millions of his own for political reasons and to safeguard his own power.
To compare President George W. Bush, who was elected twice to the office of the Presidency (just like President Barack H. Obama), or Ayn Rand to the dictator and murdering tyrant Joseph Stalin is insane.
But carry on Mr. Sanders. Such is your right and I'll defend it.
RN, I discussed and condemned the evilness of these three sociopaths (Stalin, Rand & bush) - I did no comparing. Obviously Stalin is in a league of his own. As for bush being "elected"... if you want to believe that I really don't care. It isn't the truth, but lots of people believe things that aren't true.
ReplyDeleteAlso, you can whine about your mind going to waste, or you can do something about it.
Since you made it personal I was talking your mind. Once a jackass Mr. Sanders you will always be a jackass.
ReplyDeleteRational Nation (via the Contra O'Reilly blog): Off topic, Mr. Sanders' trashing machine is working overtime at "Sleeping with The Devil" cesspool of the macabre.
ReplyDeleteCorrection, RN. I'm reply to a trashing of me on Will's Hart's nauseating cesspool of a blog. And "cesspool" IS an accurate description for a blog where lying about someone having Joseph Stalin as a "hero" takes place. RN, who obviously enjoys himself there, can stuff his condemnation of my blog.
As you jackass lack the balls to run my prior comment. Oh, that's right, you're probably just baiting me. Well I know your game jackass so have fun. You really are pathetic.
ReplyDeleteRational Nation (via the Contra O'Reilly blog): Hey Will, Mr. Nauseating trotted over here, copied my comment and pasted it on his blog. Of course he added his own typical literary hiccup. Well, took some heat off you and dmarks for a bit. And I enjoyed playing the dude. Oh, I did post a couple comments over there he hasn't published yet. I Figure he won't. The guy is a real piece of work. Later Will...
ReplyDeleteNow ALL your comments pertaining to this true post about what a jackass Will Hart can be are published. Happy? BTW, I assume that when you said " I enjoyed playing the dude" you refer to your lie about me trashing Will when I was actually responding to a trashing FROM Will. Also that *I* "took it personal"... another lie that RN told with the objective of "playing" me.
I figured as much. I mean, I'm pretty sure that Dennis believes his 100-percent-the-opposite-of-reality lies, but I figured RN was a little smarter. Thanks for that, at least. Hope you had fun imagining you were "playing" me. :)
Feel free to stop by in the future and "play" me some more. LOL.
Hey dude, Don't go getting any ideas. I'm not interested in a bromance with you.
ReplyDeleteI'm outta here.
Well, since Dennis thinks a "bromance" is when two guys dislike each other and argue online, that must mean since RN ISN'T interested in that... he wants to be friends? That wasn't the idea I was getting, for the record.
ReplyDeleteHey RN, how about a Kiss!
