[MD] WHY MoQ IS PARALYzED

[Arlo Bensinger]

[Krimel had said]
So you are actually stating, unequivocally, that you support Ham's 
blatantly racist rhetoric?

[Platt]
Typical leftist ploy. You don't like what someone says so you try to 
intimidate into silence by a personal attack.

[Arlo]
 From one who deploys the Mighty Wurlizter of "collectivist 
totalitarianism" and "statist Marxism" at every turn, I suppose you 
would know. Nonetheless, Krimel is not engaging in a personal attack, 
he is correctly exposing the ugly filth behind the despicable 
rhetoric and jargoning that you and Ham use. But just like you did in 
the education thread, as soon as that is cast into the light, you 
cower away, mutter some bad words about "political correctness" and 
try to act like its you who are the "victim" of some horrible personal attack.

 From bemoaning that you can't use "Obama's middle name" (yet I've 
never seen you use McCain's), to decrying political correctness for 
not being able say "Obama only gets votes because he is black" (yet 
have never answered if it would be wrong, or racist, for someone to 
suggest that McCain "only gets votes because he is white"), to 
appearing concerned about "black crime" (isn't crime crime?), to your 
as yet unanswered remarks about the success of public education in 
Japan and Finland "due to their being monocultural societies", to 
cheering laws to forcibley deny Muslim women the right to wear 
headscarves if they so choose, to my first "encounter" with you on 
this list as you championed "the bell curve"... where you answered 
mark heyman's statement, "But there is NO scientific support for the 
idea, say,  that members of any one  "race" are less intelligent or 
more prone to aggression than members of a different "race" by 
supporting "except for the "The Bell Curve", to recent talks on 
interracial marriage where you supported the idea that "interracial 
marriage" may be behind "the decline of society", to finally the also 
unanswered question, what the hell do you wish you could say but feel 
"political correctness" prevents you? (calling blacks "niggers"? the 
mentally disabled "retards"?)

I've also followed this "elitism" bullshit with a smile, as one on 
hand you hate "elitist perfessers" but on the other rage against 
"egalitarianism". Seems "elite" is only a "bad word" when somehow 
"white and American" don't end up on the top of the pile. The recent 
flak over Obama's comments are so hypocritic, considering these are 
the people you call "moochers", and have proposed that they "have 
nothing to contribute to the dynamic evolution of society". What if 
Obama had said that?!?! You've been quite clear a number of times 
that Joe Miner from West Virginny does not hold near the "value" that 
Mighty Sam Walton does for society. The riff-raff should cover their 
faces with rags when these Captains of Business ride by in their top 
hat and gentlemen's cloaks. Indeed, when I described the poverty of 
the mining communities my grandfather grew up in, your response was 
in paraphrase "if he was too stupid to move, he deserved what he 
got". "Let them eat cake", as it were.

Multiculturalism. I applaud it. Its one of the few good things we've 
done since the sixties. What's most sad is that the champions of 
individual freedom should be the first in line to respect the customs 
and habits of other people. Those "statist totalitarians" are the 
ones who you'd think be pushing for cultural conformity and 
"monoculturalism", as is precisely what happened under Stalin. 
Instead, the freedom fighters demand conformity to the "superior" 
white and American culture, counter "multiculturalism" only with the 
most perverse elitism and xenophobia we have seen since the days of McCarthy.

So, Krimel, on that note we disagree. I do not think we are "past the 
hump", its evident to me that elitist nationalism, xenophobia and 
ridiculous jargoning pandering to the paranoic fears about "statism", 
"collectivism" (whatever that means), and the big bad boogey of 
(gasp!) nihilism are what rules the day. I'd wish you prayers that 
this were behind us would come true, but it'll be a long time before 
we put this disgusting bullshit behind us.
