Google – All in for Hillary? No – anybody / thing that’s NOT on the Right

Powerline has the right of it: “IT’S OFFICIAL: GOOGLE IS A DEMOCRATIC PARTY FRONT”

Well! It seems that all of Google were crying in their cups when Trump “stole” the Presidency from Hillary (“Not fair, it was HER turn and we were ALL with HER!”). Brietbart got ahold of their TGIF video held after the election and it is clear that they aren’t happy. This is not news to a lot of us that follow this kind of stuff – Eric Schmidt, former CEO and Chair, made no secret of supporting Obama to the max and many of Google’s (and other Silicon Valley companies) engineers took “Sabbaticals” to staff up his and Hillary’s campaign tech crews (in addition to doing a bunch of spin-offs in the same vein).

This shows the ideological bent of these folks back in 2016 and we knew it existed well before that. The highly publicized event of a Google Engineer, James Damore, who was fired simply for questioning Google’s diversity policies really started to wake up us “non-WOKE” folks along with the documented results of biased searches (as well as the demonitization or outright shutting down of various YouTube conservative channels (which is owned by Google)). What transpired before is now coming to screens near you.

Time to start thinking of Google and Youtube and the rest of them (e.g., Facebook, Twitter) as the online version of the Left’s Antifa? SILENCE!!!

Who knows how long this video will stay up on YouTube…

A bit more from the Brietbart post gives a better quick taste – you DO want to at least scan through it (emphasis mine):

More than 50 student groups at New York University have pledged to boycott Israeli goods and academic institutions, and are urging the school’s administration to join the cause. Led by NYU Students for Justice in Palestine, the petition of support urges students to boycott brands such as Sabra Hummus and Hewlett Packard, boycott Israeli academic conferences and schools, … Read more

But the Left already KNOWS the reality – they just whine about the Perception

Yeah, while I’m not an NRA member, I’m more of his type, a (late) middle-aged, unassuming, smiling, Dad-bod kinda guy. No orange vest though. But the Left needs a scapegoat and so it manufactures one, especially when it slows down the speed of Statism. (H/T: Powerline)

The evil hypocrisy of the “progressive” Left

Melanie Phillips: Journalist, author, sociological philosopher — Melanie Phillips: English journalist, author, sociological philosopher…and former Leftist

I can’t stand coercive statism. Neither can the lady on the left, it turns out. Slavery to the state these days is generally supported by left-wing hypocrites who champion their own self-aggrandizement while posing as “lovers of humanity.” The most murderous statists of all time—from Lenin to Stalin to Hitler to Mao to Ho Chi Minh to Fidel Castro—all claimed to love humanity, yet they created violent, tyrannical dictatorships. What motivates such people? English writer, sociological philosopher, and former Leftist Melanie Phillips explains it all:

Well, for one thing you could have had an assault rifle with a high capacity magazine at hand….

DENMARK-ISLAM-CRIME — Danish free-speech advocate—and former “young Marxist”—Laars Hedegaard (AFP/Getty images)

Less than three weeks ago an Islamic assassin attempted to murder Danish journalist and free speech advocate Lars Hedegaard. After missing at point-blank range, the would-be killer and Hedegaard scuffled, after which the guy with the gun ran away.

The reaction of the Scandinavian mainstream media is interesting. It included denouncing Hedegaard and wishing the assassin had been better with a pistol. Here’s some of what Hedegaard has to say about the incident and its aftermath, from today’s Wall Street Journal:

Notable quote: The horror of Leftist statism.

September 26, 2018October 2, 2012

Some of history's communist dictators: Enslavers and murderers of MILLIONS of human beings.

This is a quote from Peter Hof, an historian and author of “Our Century,” discussing the human attraction of otherwise sane human beings to statism in the form of the political Left:

The rhetoric of the Left is always beatific, romantic, and idealistic. But when we look around the world, whether at present or historically, the Left is consistently our worst nightmare — a horrific collection of all-powerful, centralized governments. Beginning with the Soviet Union…

The Natural Escalation of Leftism’s Evolution

September 26, 2018August 17, 2012 Steve MacDonald

In a post of mine a few weeks back, when Captain Psycho P.h.d Orange Hair shot up a movie theater and ABC News then reflexively exhorted, “Tea Party! Tea Party! Tea Party!” with Tourette-like self control, I touched on something that I’ve been observing most of my life and only realized what it was and have been able to recognize it these past few years. It is that the core of leftist, or liberal, ideology consists of the belief that everything is open to and subject to politics. Everything can, should, and, eventually, must be politicized. Once something becomes political, it’s open to debate and thus can be modified. This is what drives them “Forward,” as Lenin and Obama would say.

“The Dark Knight Rises”: Arise, capitalism and freedom….

September 26, 2018July 30, 2012

Has anyone seen The Dark Knight Rises? I haven’t. Not that I have anything against Batman. It’s just not a movie that was on my A-List (and nothing need be said about the killings last week in Colorado; this is about the movie, not the apparently insane killer).

Now it is.

In today’s Wall Street Journal, novelist and PJ Media contributor Andrew Klavan has a fascinating interpretation of the movie. In the Journal column, Batman Battles the Politics of Resentment Klavan shows the movie to be “a bold apologia for free-market capitalism [and] a graphic depiction of the tyranny and violence inherent in every radical leftist movement….”
