Here comes the nihil from the South...

Iowahawk on the watery hypocrisy of the mentally ill.

The car really exploded as three photojournalists were strolling by, even though the pictures show it is just burning. Honest it did.

Tyrant's NIGHTMARE.

Insuring homocidal nihilism.

BINGO.

Wearing a little thin three years after 911...

Cold Fury spells out 3 1/2 years of blogging very nicely indeed. (Hat tip Glenn.)

Hugh On Dhimmitude

Well, that's what I would call it:

The party of Truman and JFK has a problem when its advance media guard does not celebrate the rise of a democracy from the ashes of a dictatorship. More than a problem, actually, a collapse at the core. It is now, at best, the party of Henry Wallace and Teddy Kennedy, and that's not a party remotely close to the American mainstream.

And he also has a snapshot of the near complete silence of the leftist bloggers on the coming of democracy to Iraq...

"The Party Of Return"

I just heard Krauthammer on Fox News use the phrase "the party of return" to describe a lack of positive agenda and ideology by Saddam's dethroned thugs and their Qaeda "buddies". His point was they are all about going back to the way things were -- that is to the thugs having the power to slaughter, brutalize and starve their former victims.

The obvious question is: just what exactly has changed here?

The obvious answer is: their brutality is no longer covered up. Simple as that. Oh yes, and our military and more and more of the formerly oppressed Iraqi masses get to kill them back.

But then I got to thinking about the Dhimmi-crats -- and their lack of a positive agenda and a longing to return to "the way things were". And their support for thugs in Iraq -- and attempts to keep brutal murderers off of death row here at home -- makes perfect sense.

Doesn't it?

Atta girl!: "Free speech should be safe, legal and rare"?

Nihilism Is

As nihilism does.

As Michael points out in his piece, the Dhimmi-crat activists are well characterized as exhibiting Stalinist behavior.

Dhimmi-crats would also argue that there is no connection at leading from nihilism (capitalized : the program of a 19th century Russian party advocating revolutionary reform and using terrorism and assassination) to Leninism to Stalinism to maybe 100 million dead or so. Well I suppose you can argue with me all day and wear me down to only 30-50 million -- what was the point of that?

By the way, the word assassination is of either Persian or Arab origin.

And if the Dhimmi-crats don't live on character assassination then how to explain this?

Perfect evidence that they are themselves the victims of the very memory hole they are trying to impose on the rest of us...

But luckily there is no racism at the highest levels of American government.

And at night when he goes home to relax and put on his white pointed cap, he fumes that those brown people in the Middle East are too stupid for Democracy...

UPDATE: A comment on Roger's blog pretty well puts it in perspective:

Byrd filibustered and voted against the Civil Rights Act. If he had his way, not only would Condoleeza Rice not be secretary of state, she would not be allowed to vote.

In 2000, Hillary told a NARAL rally that the Republicans wanted to take away a woman's right to vote. In 2004, John Edwards told a NARAL rally Republicans wanted to take away a woman's right to learn to read. But only Robert K. Byrd stepped up and did anything about it, by gum

Byrd voted against both Thurgood Marshall and Clarence Thomas, votes that made him the only Senator to have opposed the only two black Supreme Court nominees in U.S. history.

Byrd wasn't just a member of the KKK but was a "Kleagle" -- an official recruiter who signed up members for $10 a head. He wasn't just a Klansman, he was a Klan pimp, spreading their poison for pretty pathetic pay.

Byrd wrote the following, three years after he claims to have ended his ties with the KKK: "The Klan is needed today as never before and I am anxious to see its rebirth here in West Virginia" and "in every state in the Union."

Byrd also wrote that he would never fight "with a Negro by my side. Rather I should die a thousand times, and see Old Glory trampled in the dirt never to rise again, than to see this beloved land of ours become degraded by race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen from the wilds."

Where is the Congressional Black Caucus (Democrats all, since they won't admit African-American Republicans) on this? Where is Barack Obama?

Makes me want to wretch at the lunacy of it all...

Did I mention that nihilism IS the Dhimmi-crat party?

UPDATED AGAIN: And did I mention they think of these people as their "friends"?:

DEBKAfile’s intelligence sources expose a uniquely brutal Palestinian atrocity committed and videotaped last Friday, Jan 21, by Fatah-al Aqsa Brigades in the main square of the Balata camp south of Nablus.

Mohammad Mansur, 23, accused of collaborating with Israel, was not shot dead as Palestinians claimed; he was slowly dismembered. Knives and axes were used to chop off his fingers and toes first, then his limbs.

No ambulance permitted to collect his remains, which were thrown into a dumpster. Nablus governor and Fatah leaders issued dire warning against revelation of this horror.

Did I say wretch? That doesn't even begin to describe it...

Well, OK -- Finally, The Next Post Comes

It wasn't the next post but those two bullets were from the Merriam-Webster definition of the word "nihilism"!

The other missing definition snippets were:

• a viewpoint that traditional values and beliefs are unfounded and that existence is senseless and useless.
• capitalized : the program of a 19th century Russian party advocating revolutionary reform and using terrorism and assassination.
• TERRORISM.

Surely your eyes are opening a bit at this point? Maybe more than a bit???

Sensing's Rope-a-Dope roundup.

Harsh

But it'll bring a smile to your face:

Ominous Foreshadowing

I am debating which of these best describes the current state of the Democratic party:

• A doctrine or belief that conditions in the social organization are so bad as to make destruction desirable for its own sake independent of any constructive program or possibility.
• A doctrine that denies any objective ground of truth and especially of moral truths.

It's a difficult choice isn't it?

And if you don't think this is ominous foreshadowing then wait till my next post...
