The Anti-American Americans
2018-11-26
[PJ] So here we are, at Thanksgiving, surrounded by a crowd of arrogant, ignorant, self-proclaimed superior people who proclaim, as was once declared about Vietnam, that the only way to save the country is to destroy it. That the European welfare state is the proper model for us, and that our electoral choices are mostly wrong. And evil. The first anti-American president put it bluntly in an interview with with one of his cronies, saying Americans are "confused, blind, shrouded with hate, anger, racism, mommy issues."

In Obama’s view, we’re unworthy of him and his ruling class. All 57 states’ worth, I suppose. If we dare vote for candidates they don’t like, they feel entitled to change the results. And it isn’t just the usual suspects in the media and the schools; it includes the sorry case of the chief justice of the Supreme Court, Mr. Roberts, who now suggests that judges are fully empowered to undo the clearly expressed preferences of the American people, and that somehow criticism of them, not their outrageous rulings, was the inappropriate act. It was deliciously satisfying to see him slapped down by Senator Grassley, an Iowa farmer who understands better than most how politicized the judiciary has become. He knows how often our judges have somehow come to believe that we have a lot to learn from foreign laws and judges, an amazing development that would have us turn the obvious lessons of the past 250 years upside-down. Just check out where our judges go during summer vacation, and what they do, and you’ll see it.

From Obama to Roberts, our self-proclaimed ruling class have missed the import of the global revolution ushered in by the American Revolution. Indeed, they seem to think that we never should have broken with Britain, so that the confused, blind, hate-filled, angry racists (I don’t quite understand what "mommy issues" refers to) would never have wrecked the world. They do not tell us if we would speak German or Japanese, or maybe Russian.

#8  but will never get the useful idiots who just believe whatever nonsense they are told

See The True Believer by Eric Hoffer. It explains how:

Feminists have no problems with muzlim depradations against women.

Gerbil worming crusaders loves them some private jet.

The people who most want you poor and oppressed sure don't want to join you in that.

It isn't about the common good at all.

It's about believing...

#7  I'm beginning to think that Roberts is a "sleeper cell" for the left.

#6  We've had anti-american Americans since the Cold War. Probably earlier but they became obvious during the cold war. I sort of understand those paid by the communists but will never get the useful idiots who just believe whatever nonsense they are told.

#5  Which is why it's so important to fight rent-seeking wherever it occurs.

The more you allow rent-seeking, the more it expands, of course rent-seeking destroys that which sustains it, which means it is either a temporary affair (AKA marxist societies) or done stealthily (billionaire progressivists picked by "security" services).

#4  Globalism + collectivism = neofeudalism.

The push for neofeudalism contains two powerful groups - globalists (small in number but control vast amounts of capital) and the public sector clerisy (large in number and have access to vast amounts of state power).

Two threads came out of the end of the Enlightenment/Westphalia century. The founding of the U.S. and the French Revolution. One sought a truly new way and was the delivery of the promise of the Enlightenment and Westphalian nationalism, tempered by Christian principles.

The other was an attempt to hijack concentration of state power and rising scientific knowledge to attempt return to the pharaonic model of a society and world domination if possible - only with a slightly different group of thugs at the top.

The mandarins in Brussels and their Blue State model counterparts here in the U.S. are all people who would have sided with King George III in the 1770s. There is a lot of desire in people who style themselves a ruling class to be, well, rulers. There is a lot of desire by people who join an economically protected public clerisy for a system which will give them what they, as twisted, damaged adolescents and sociopaths desire most - perfect economic security at any cost to their neighbors and nation.

The Democrats and GOPe tap into both of those dynamics.

#3  Oikophobia, a hate of the people in their own countries, unites the globalist vermin.
