Peggy Noonan may have brought the RINO outrage (
yeah, yeah, yeah), bit Mencius told this tale of an idiot five years ago in a way that
even Progressive "Intellectuals" will get it:
As a progressive, you regard the fields of public policy as more or less scientific. The 20th century is the century of scientific public policy.
And just as there is no German physics or Catholic mathematics, there
is no German public policy or Catholic public policy. There is only
public policy. There is no "who." There is no rule. There is no world domination. There is only global governance.
So
we see why it's inappropriate for George W. Bush to "politicize" the
Justice Department. It is because the Justice Department is staffed
with legal scholars. Is George
W. Bush a legal scholar? Is a boar hog an F-16? When politics
intrudes on the realm of science, it's more than just a violation. It's
a kind of rape. One is instantly reminded of the Nazi stormtroopers,
dancing around their flaming piles of books. One, if one is an
American, is also reminded of the mindless jockery that ruled one's
high-school years. Do you, dear progressive, have any hesitation about
picking a side in this dispute? Of course not.
Do you, dear progressive, have any intellectual hesitation about picking a side in this dispute? Of course, you will certainly run across many who care for nothing but a cheap tribalism. And this is where you put the intellectual stiletto in betwixt the intellectual ribs, making them justify how what George W. Bush did was
ZOMG it was so bad we'll never recover EVAH and why Barack Obama has a perfect crease in his trousers.
Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules
1 comment:
They enemy IS living up to his own book of rules. His book of rules is "do what it takes to win". When they need more detail, they read Alinsky.
Your enemy's book of rules is not YOUR book of rules that he's been making you live up to all these years. Get it? The rules the left bullies you about are YOUR rules that they are making YOU live up to. Not their rules. Yours.
When the left tells you to live up to your own rules, that does not mean those are THEIR rules. The rules they demand you follow are the things they want you to do to benefit THEM. OK? Those aren't the things they plan to do to benefit you, and as a matter of fact they don't plan to do ANYTHING to benefit you. They never did and they never will. Why would they?
Why would professional hypocrites, thieves, liars, and demagogues timidly and placidly let their enemies order them around? GOP morons love taking orders from their enemies, but the left isn't that stupid. If you tell them to do something that benefits you, they will simply laugh in your face, because they understand that this is a war and you are the enemy. When they tell you to do something, they are doing it to screw you. They naturally assume you will do the same. They know righties are helpless trusting suckers, but the most helpless, trusting infant makes an occasional amateurish attempt at being clever.
Why do you think the left are as stupid as the Republicans? When have they ever acted that stupid? when have they ever failed to run rings around the Republicans? Never. The left's useful idiots are idiots, but the useful idiots are not the whole left. And even the useful idiots are smarter than the master strategists of the right, because they never, ever take orders from their ENEMIES. Hello? Why would they do that? Because some mysterious force compells them to stay true to their beliefs? Their only belief is that whatever's good for them is good, period. The double standard is in everything they do and say.
THINK about the Alinsky line you quoted. Don't do the usual Republican Head in the Sand Whistling Past the Graveyard thing and pretend that you're WAAAYYY smarter than the people who've been living Alinsky's rules for decades, just because you finally read about one of those rules on the internet and took five minutes off from your IT job to write a glib quickie about it. These people LIVE Alinsky's rules, professionally, for their entire adult lives. That's what they do. They're professional demagogues.
Christ, the mainstream right depresses me.
