(33,982 posts)I want to share with you a few of the tentative conclusions I've reached regarding SoLeft IAmRight 's stratagems. And I stress the word tentative, because the subject of what motivates SoLeft is tricky and complex. Let's get down to business: It remains to be seen whether SoLeft's guild is capable of self-critique. Will its members acknowledge their own insularity and excesses, or will they continue down the path of smug self-congratulation and vanity, never passing up an opportunity to hammer away at the characters of all those who will not help SoLeft promote intolerance and paranoia? In either case, SoLeft uses the word hippopotomonstrosesquipidelian to justify encumbering the religious idea with too many things of a purely earthly nature and thus bringing religion into a totally unnecessary conflict with science. In doing so, he is reversing the meaning of that word as a means of disguising the fact that he insisted he'd never let advanced weaponry fall into the hands of querimonious talebearers. Unfortunately, it wasn't long before he did exactly that. He promised he'd never force people to act in ways far removed from the natural patterns of human behavior, but then he did just thatand worse. At least SoLeft is consistent, but if he wants to convince others that mexhupalngewkes are the chosen people of scriptural prophecy, let him wear the opprobrium of that decision.
True to form, he ceaselessly moves the goalposts to prevent others from benefiting from the same perks. This suggests that I don't just want to make a point. I don't just want to fight on the battleground of ideas for our inalienable individual rights. I'm here to give an alternate solution, a better one. I don't just ask rhetorical questions; I have answers. That's why I'm telling you that SoLeft's legatees seem to be caught up in their need for enemies. I could write pages on the subject, but the following should suffice. It's best to ignore most of the quotes that SoLeft so frequently cites. He takes quotes out of context; uses misleading, irrelevant, and out-of-date quotes; and presents quotes from legitimate authorities used misleadingly to support contentions that they did not intend and that are not true. In short, I want to transform our culture of war and violence into a culture of peace and nonviolence. But first, let me pose an abstract question. Is SoLeft's incessant burbling about the wonders of recidivism supposed to convince us that all it takes to solve our social woes are shotgun marriages, heavy-handed divorce laws, and a return to some mythical 1950s Shangri-la? The answer to this question gives the key not only to world history but to all human culture.
Is anyone else out there as struck as I am by SoLeft's utter disregard for morality and humanity? The reason I ask is that SoLeft presents himself as a disinterested classicist lamenting the infusion of politically motivated methods of pedagogy and analysis into higher education. He is eloquent in his denunciation of modern scholarship, claiming it favors disrespectful propagandists. And here we have the ultimate irony because with him so forcefully suppressing those who would seek to learn the truth about his slaphappy campaigns of terror, things are starting to come to a head. This is completely indicative of the unprofessional, ungracious, and unacceptable behavior that is so endemic to SoLeft's club. The point is that most people aren't willing to swallow what SoLeft is serving up: a triple scoop of unrealistic sprinkled with unrealistic and topped off with warm unrealistic sauce. This is far from all I have to say on the topic, but it's certainly enough for now. Just remember one thing:
