Is Randroid Libertarianism in the DSM-V?

[catsidhe]

The next time a US Republican/conservative/randroid libertarian tells you that Teh Left are all hysterical, superstitious lunatics who hate their fellow humans and only show a façade of concern to look virtuous while they fear those with whom they disagree and substitute group panic for thought... Point them at things like this.


Jim Jones was a Leftist, and all Leftists -- all of them -- are enablers of people like Jones, and Jones was but a harbinger of the Eeeevil Muslim apocalypse and Obama Totalitarian Fascist Police State Which Is Coming Oh My Fucking God these people really believe that the world is going to end because a comparatively progressive black man with an Islamic middle name was elected president.


I really don't trust what else I might say. So I won't.

Has anyone ever wondered why we exit freeways on the left? It must be some sort of conspiracy by those socialist pigs!

Excellent idea

But... the editor of Frontpagemag, David Horowitz, was a Marxist. What does that mean!?

That narrow minded ideologues are the easiest people to brainwash into becoming narrow minded ideologues? The name Windschuttle springs to mind...

I don't think Windschuttle is an ideologue per se.

I think he's best described as a revivalist historian.

All he seems to be saying is that Australian history was right in the 1950s and anything you've heard after that has been Marxist propaganda.

Oh come on, you've got to have a bit of a laugh about that sort of thing. It's like Andrew Bolt trying to prove that all environmentalists are Nazis because the Nazis created national parks in Germany. I won't get into the fact that using his own argument, Andrew Bolt claims that Teddy Rooseveldt was a Nazi.

The blog you linked to has always been a rather unoriginal echo-chamber for extreme neocon talking-points. I used to get riled by that blogger, but then I realised that reacting was a waste of my time and energy.

There's always going to be idiots out there, we do ourselves credit by reacting to them with derision rather than outrage.
