“The Progressive Purificationist Hangman”

Sure, what happened to Brendan Eich was a high tech lynching for a religious belief  in traditional marriage – and simply believing what President Obama held at the time.  But what we saw was the anti-Christian / Jewish / Muslim veneer overlaid on what many are seeing as the Left, having believed it has captured all of the ramparts of the Culture Castle, move from one phase to a more dark one: we no longer need to show and act as being tolerant, we own the place.  “Sore winners”, as some are saying, doesn’t come close – “vengeful winners” seems to be apt.  This post from RedState puts it well (emphasis mine):

…The people morally invested in overturning California’s Proposition 8 are no longer willing to work through peaceable means. So if you’re one of the Neo-Fascist jerks who just knee-capped the career of Javascript Inventor, Brandon Eich, you just form up the lynch mob and assassinate your foes using the duplicitous means called Soft Totalitarianism by some.

So what does this Soft Totalitarianism really mean? Funny you asked, the tactics employed by the compassionate champions of alternative lifestyles employed by the Mozilla and the vivacious dating site OKCupidHimmler are explained quite nicely below.

First, it means that any dissent with be met with destruction of your livelihood. The only people with true free speech will be billionaires, because they do not require income. Anyone else who speaks up will be driven out of his job; anyone who aids him will be driven out of her job. Anyone who speaks up in her defense will be driven out of his job, in turn. You are the diseased monkey, and the only permissible act is to throw stones at you. We have un-done civilization itself and reverting to witch hunts and lynch mobs.

That isn’t civilization – real civilization does not require equality except that of equality before the law; no other equality is needed for true Freedom for any other type requires enforcement (which kinda puts the whole kibosh on the whole idea). Diversity is not a faux concept – it really does mean “different things” and not lip service.  Dissent does require tolerance from those in the mainstream – or those that wish their outlook to be the mainstream.  The above is none of those things – it is the action of pretentious bratty children at best and Barbarians that have broken through the gate and heading on to the pillaging.

This is how Romans get turned into Gothic Age barbarians. This becomes an engine of enstupidation and societal decline. The smart, the capable and the creative are hounded remorselessly by the turd-chucking howler monkeys fresh out of some oppressed persons diversity seminar.

The operative phrase is “run amok” except these “high level intelligence” turd chuckers are used to be among the smartest in the room but seriously looking down on the rest who see through their mostly transparent sense of diversity.

Imagine Thomas Edison being ridden out of town on a rail by all the suppressed candle-makers. Perhaps Henry Ford should have been “diversified” the heck out of Detroit by all the suffering buggy-whip manufacturers. You cannot have innovation or intelligent thought when any random interest group Gestapo can ruin your livelihood for deviating from some politically correct Group Think. This gives you the Witch Hunt mentality described by Ernest Steinberg in his paper “Purifying the World: What the New Radical Ideology Stands For.”

The issue and the person(s) can change but the reaction of the Left always seems to be the same.  Proclaiming “tolerance”, they are the intolerant ones that MUST destroy any dissent.  The end goal is not for kumbayah kind of Utopia where people have freedom to be what THEY decide to be, but as we saw in the Soviet Union, the Eastern Bloc countries, Viet Nam, China, Cuba, et al, only the Utopia that is mandated by the top for the rest.  THEY believe it to be that, their gift to the rest of us, but if that Utopia come with chains and handcuffs for the mind (and real ones for the body), there is only a Dystopian future ahead.

For Progressives, there is no looking backwards to see the history of the wretchedness of societies have that gone down that road before – it can only be pixie dust induced asthma and unicorn farts they lay before us, oblivious that this story has never ended rightly in history.  Our ancestors left that royalty / apparatchik serfdom to come here – and these “turd chuckers” wish to return us to that (even as they use such LOVELY terms to do so, right Zandra Rice-Hawkins?).

Intimidation is the name of the game – but only if we allow it: “We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately” and the Progressives are bringing the rope – today.  They have and will continue to “Bring the Pain” – they have learned the political lessons well.  It is time to light our torches and sharpen our own pitchforks as well.

The Republican intelligentsia, political consultants, ne’er do wells, and “how DARE we stand up to them on our Principles” scaredy Candidates are telling us constantly “we can only concentrate on the fiscal issues!”.  Got news for you nincompoops from us in the trenches; keep that up and you’ll soon find out there will be no one left to “concentrate with” – Progressives are fighting not just on the fiscal issues but on the cultural ones as well.  As they continue to change the culture (as Andrew Breitbart held), you WILL lose those that would have stood with you on those fiscal issues.  Every social issue HAS a fiscal cost BECAUSE the Progressives have made it so and you lost it so.

There is no difference anymore between the social and fiscal fights as this whole sordid event shows.  But will the STOOPID Party realize it in time?  Or will they continue to fight by Marquis of Queensbury rules even as you are blacking out from a rear naked choke?
