My sentiments exactly:

I do not want civil discourse.


As Glen Reynolds put it, "...an inspired rant."

I don't for one second believe that "civil discourse" (or discourse of any type)  is what these folks really want anyway.  They want you to shut up and comply.  Period.

The Spectre of Communism hangs over a building in New York City

From moelane.com, via Instapundit:

A reporterette takes a shallow dip into a pool of pseudo-intellectual, self-delusional doublespeak masquerading as rational thought, and comes up short of the obvious conclusion--which is, as Moe Lane put it--"Marxism is intellectualism for stupid people."

These people walk among you.  Okay, not too many out here in the majestic big square red states (although there are a few), but quite a few in those nasty little blue states. Now you know how Obama (and Barney Frank, and Bernie Sanders, and Dennis Kucinich, and...well, you get the idea) got elected--by pandering to these knuckleheads with their deeds while pretending to be centrist in their words.  It's all in those books on the shelves behind the reporters head, folks...

Best comment I saw from the YouTube site:

"There's nothing lamer than a Marxist living in the West, reaping the fruits and benefits of capitalism. He probably has the entire works of Lenin on his iPad."

Best comment I saw on Moe Lane's site:

"...or as Reagan put it, "How do you tell a communist? Well, it’s someone who reads Marx and Lenin. And how do you tell an anti-communist? It’s someone who understands Marx and Lenin."

Yes, at the risk of seeming un-trendy or mean-spirited, I am questioning these people's sense of patriotism.  If you are out to undermine the foundations upon which this country was built, while telling me that it's all because you love your country so much that you want to change it, then yes--I think skepticism of one's level of commitment to the constitution is warranted.

Or as we say out here in those square red states, " Don't pee on my back and tell me it's raining."
