Another Slavery-Reparations Lawsuit... This One Aimed At The Democratic Party

Gee, usually I find these lawsuits to be political grandstanding that just wastes the time of our court system, but for some strange reason I feel this particular lawsuit has some merit.

Thanks to LauraW.

This guy is right on the money.
If they don't keep 'em down and loyal to the hand outs, who is going to vote for them?

If everyone is middle class; who would vote for them (enough to win)?

This would've been unthinkable in the past. This is part of the Great Change that's beginning to happen en masse as people gradually have begun to understand that Liberalism is a Great Fraud and no matter what the motives may have been, they have messed up everything they have touched. Someday, when Liberalism has been eradicated, you will be very glad and proud that you took part in changing it all.

As Tim Robbins sang (for the wrong reason):

For the times they are a chaaaaangin' back!

Should Liberals be lined up and shot? Most of them are immigrants that are taxing our society. What do you mean by "someday when Liberalism is eradicated, you will will be very glad and proud that you took part in changing it all" 72 virgins? What are YOU doing about it? Eradicate means to exterminate..to kill, to destroy. Talk is cheap 72 Virgins. What are doing to make changes, 72 Virgins? You can't just wait around for things to change, you have to change them yourself. When was the last time you eradicated a piece of shit Liberal? Talk is cheap!

Posted by: Ben on July 20, 2005 03:29 PM

You guys have no idea how much happier I'd be if we could avoid talk of shooting or eradicating people.

And also: "towel-heads" and "fags" and stuff.

Posted by: ace on July 20, 2005 03:32 PM

Not being an advocate for anyone's opinion but 72 virgins stated

when Liberalism has been eradicated,

Liberalism not liberals.

Posted by: Dman on July 20, 2005 03:38 PM

Ben, knowing 72, he is referring to the demise of the ideology, not destruction of people.

To the day the phony American commies finally wake up and realize that their little utopia is for termites, not people.

Ben

Should Liberals be lined up and shot?

That would be a good first step. What am I doing? Trying to get conservatives to boycott the goods and services that support Liberals and Liberal causes, en masse. If we could simply not buy their products or their services we could effect a great tidal change the likes of which we haven't seen since the 60's. I have spoken and blogged it for years, and many times on ACE. But to avoid being ignored I try not to say it too often lately. I also write and email politicians, magazines, newspapers and companies often, including the White House and post the email addresses of people who really need to hear from us.

So Ben, besides trying to bait me, what are you doing?

THE RIGHT MUST BOYCOTT!!!

Posted by: 72 VIRGINS on July 20, 2005 03:46 PM

Never seen thoughts even remotely like this 'Ben's' voiced round here. There was an influx of lefty's a while back, and this 'Ben' showed up round the same time, spoutin this crazed shit.

My guess is that 'Ben' is in reality a lefty playing the pushback game of 'lookit the wacky things that get said on the righty blogs too.'

Might be wrong, but either way, crazed hate shit like his need banning.

So much for trying to defend someone.

Posted by: Dman on July 20, 2005 03:55 PM

Careful, with his cutting insight and witty method technique of assuming "criticism of a philosophy=death camp" (similar to the "Bush>=Hitler") It's obvious that Ben know's what he's doing. He just not a better than average baiter, Ben's a master-baiter. And it shows that he's had a lot of practice at it.

Posted by: HowardDevore on July 20, 2005 03:56 PM

72 Liberals Against The Wall,

Please try to refrain from "liberals should be shot."

It's not really funny. Furthermore, it's hard to criticize terrorism and the killing of civilians when you're supporting (if in a joking manner, though the "joke" ain't comin' through that strongly) the same thing.

Posted by: ace on July 20, 2005 04:00 PM

ACE - I never referred to shooting or killing anyone, the sentence read:

when Liberalism has been eradicated

Ben was sarcastic about it, and so I replied in kind because it is just the kind of thing some whiney Liberal would say thinking "I gotcha now!" to which I replied in kind. And to anyone who can't tell sarcasm from reality, dude, I wish you all the best!

Posted by: 72 VIRGINS on July 20, 2005 04:05 PM

ACE - Its your blog and you make the rules. But just imagine if there had been suit happy lawyers and whiney little PC bitches around in Shakesperes day around when he wrote:

"The first thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers".

Anyway. Back to the original thread, now that it's buried- (thread killah!)
The list of grievances on the linked site is worthy of some time.
Because. You know. Us being the party of white male Nazis and all.

Posted by: lauraw on July 20, 2005 10:27 PM

I doubt seriously that this lawsuit will go anywhere - it certainly won't receive any MSM attention.

What? Skeleton of the most famous Musketeer, D'Artagnan, possibly discovered in Dutch church closet.
Dumas picked four names of real musketeers out of a history book, D'Artagnan, Athos, Aramis, and Porthos. So there was an actual D'Artagnan, though he made most of the story up. (Or, you know, all of it.)*
Charles de Batz de Castelmore, known as d'Artagnan, the famous musketeer of Kings Louis XIII and Louis XIV, spent his life in the service of the French crown.
The Gascon nobleman inspired Alexandre Dumas's hero in "The Three Musketeers" in the 19th century, a character now known worldwide thanks to the novel and numerous film adaptations.
D'Artagnan was killed during the siege of Maastricht in 1673, and there is a statue honoring the musketeer in the city. His final resting place has remained a mystery ever since.

A lot of Dumas's stories are based on bits of real history. The plot of the >Three Musketeers, about trying to recover lost diamonds from the queen's necklace, was cribbed from the then-almost-contemporaneous Affair of the Queen's Necklace. And the Man in the Iron Mask is based on real accounts of a prisoner forced to wear a mask (though I think it was a velvet mask).
* Oh, I should mention, Dumas says all this, about finding the names in an old book, in the prologue to his novel. But authors lie a lot. They frequently present fictions as based on historic fact. The twist is, he was actually telling the truth here. At least about these four musketeers having actually existed and served under Louis XIV.
Fun fact: You know the beginning of A Fistful of Dollars where the local gunslingers make fun of Clint Eastwood's donkey and Eastwood demands they apologize to the donkey? That's lifted from The Three Musketeers. Rochefort mocks D'Artagnan's old, brokedown farm horse and D'Artagnan is incensed.
A commenter asked which should be read first, The Hobbit of LOTR?
Easy, no question -- read The Hobbit first. It's actually the start of the story and comes first chronologically. It sets up some major characters and major pieces in play in LOTR.
Also, the Hobbit is Beginner-Friendly, which LOTR isn't. The Hobbit really is a delightful book, and a fast read. It's chatty, it's casual, it's exciting, and it's funny. In that dry cheeky British humor way. I love that the narrator is constantly making little asides and commentary, like he's just sitting next to you telling you this story as it occurs to him.
LOTR is a very long story. Fifteen hundred pages or so. The Hobbit is relatively short and very punchy and easy to read. If you don't like The Hobbit, you can skip out on LOTR. If you do like it, you'll be primed to read LOTR.
Oh, I should say: The Hobbit is written as if it's for children, but one of those smart children's stories that are also for adults. Don't worry, there's also real fighting and violence and horror in it, too.
LOTR is written for adults. (It's said that Tolkien wrote both for his children, but LOTR was written 17 years later, when his children were adults.) Some might not like The Hobbit due to its sometimes frivolous tone. Me, I love it. I find it constantly amusing. Both are really good but there is a starkly different tone to both. LOTR is epic, grand, and serious, about a world war, The Hobbit is light and breezy, and about a heist. Though a heist that culminates in a war for the spoils.
The Hobbit Challenge: Read two more chapters. I didn't have much time. Bilbo got the ring.
I noticed a continuity problem. Maybe. Now, as of the time of The Hobbit, it was unknown that this magic ring was in fact a Ring of Power, and it was doubly unknown that it was the Ring of Power, the Master Ring that controlled the others.
But the narrator -- who we will learn in LOTR was none of than Bilbo himself, who wrote the book as "There and Back Again" -- says this about Gollum's ring:
"But who knows how Gollum had come by that present [the Ring], ages ago in the old days when such rings were still at large in the world? Perhaps even the Master who ruled them could not have said."
In another passage, the ring is identified as a "ring of power."
I don't know, I always thought there was a distinction between mere magic rings and the Rings of Power created by Sauron. But this suggests that Bilbo knew this was a ring of power created by Sauron.
Now I don't remember when Bilbo wrote the Hobbit. In the movie, he shows Frodo the book in Rivendell, and I guess he wrote it after he left the Shire. I guess he might have added in the part about the ring being a ring of power created by "the Master" after Gandalf appraised him of his research into the ring.
I never noticed this before. I know Tolkien re-wrote this chapter while he was writing LOTR to make the ring important from the start. And also to make Gollum more sinister and evil, and also to remove the part where Gollum actually offers Bilbo the ring as a "present" -- Bilbo had already found it on his own, but Gollum was wiling to give it away, which obviously is not something the rewritten Gollum would ever do.
But I had no memory of the ring being suggested to be The Ring so early in the tale.

Tomorrow is March 25th, "Tolkien Reading Day," because March 25th is the day when the Ring is destroyed in the book. I think I'm going to start the Hobbit tomorrow and read all four books this time.
The only bad part of the trilogy are the Frodo/Sam chapters in The Two Towers. They're repetitive, slow, and mostly about the weather and terrain. But most everything else is good. Weirdly, the Frodo-Sam chapters in Return of the King are exciting and action-packed and among the best in the trilogy. (Though the chapters with everyone else in Return of the King get pretty slow again. Mostly people talking about marching towards war, and then marching towards war.)
