This is what Marxism always devolves into:

Fascists, commie, Marxist thugs using force to shut people down.  This is why allowing commies and other various flavors of Marxist into government always results in tyranny.

One of the staples of Portland, Oregon —”Portlandia” to TV viewers— is the annual Rose Festival, now in its 82nd year, and it has for several years now featured a kickoff parade, akin to the Rose Parade in Pasadena on January 1 every year. But this year’s parade, scheduled for this weekend, has been cancelled. The reason: It was going to include—gasp—Republicans!And this is too much for the hardened left, which threatens to shutdown the parade by violent means if it includes Republicans. And the city of Portland has caved.

I think the Multnomah County Republicans should still do the parade.  With guns.  Lots of guns.  Guns on their hips, guns in their hands.  And tell the Leftist fascists that they had better bring plenty of body bags, because the GOP ain't gonna pay to bury the Marxists out of their own pockets.

Two more posts about Milo

One from a brave women who I've linked to previously, Moira Greyland:

Milo has said openly what is done in secret: these relationships are very common, and usually the way a young men comes into the gay community is through a rape or another sexual experience which is forced on him. The boy then is in the position of admitting he was unmanned, admitting he was a victim, coping with prosecution and victim status, or shutting up and hoping it will go away. Worse, because bodies respond, the boy is in the appalling predicament of having not hated all the sensations. For many, the easiest conclusion is to decide one is really gay, rather than to decide one is a victim. 

Often the victim part is not figured out for years.

And another from a guest poster on a blog I hadn't read or seen before.  I found both of these at Vox Day, along with a vid from Stephan Molinew...  Molyniew...  That Stephan guy.  Anyway, the post, An Open Letter to Milo:

Four of those little boys are now dead. Three died very young, one older but still young. One a suicide, and the others in situations that were brought on or complicated by The Disease. None of them married. None of them had children. They left their mothers behind, questioning, grieving, inconsolable, loving. Think of it: five families were prevented from being formed.  

When I see you, and you are a wonderful human, I see the father and husband you could have been. What child would not love to be hoisted on your shoulders, and what woman would not blush from your attention?  

I understand that the abuse happened, and that there is a direct line from the abuse to your “chosen” lifestyle—did you choose it, or did you think there was no other way? Or did that man so long ago set the course for you?

Just think - we could have had an actual, honest to God conversation on a very unpleasant subject, and we could have had it while telling the SJWs to take their shrieking hysterics and blow them out their ass.  We could have advanced the cause of conservatives ahead by leaps and bounds.

Instead, thanks to the SJW howler monkeys and the NeverTrump backstabbing shitstains like Evan McMullin, we took that opportunity and threw it overboard, never to be seen again.

UPDATE:  OK, I can't seem to get off this kick regarding Milo and the so-called "conservatives" who attack him.  So here's John C. Wright's point of view:

A question for my fellow Catholics: when is the last time, on a nationally syndicated program of any kind, you heard a popular voice praising the Catholic Church, or saying she is right about everything? 

I can answer for myself: it was Milo, on Bill Maher, and in his speeches in colleges, freely available on the internet. 

And before that? I can name no one. I am not old enough to remember Fulton Sheen. 

Is he a shameful and terrible spokesman for our beautiful Church? Yes, indeed, I fear he is. When I get to heaven, I will certainly chide Saint Mary Magdalene the whore and St. Matthew the tax-gathering collaborator, wag my finger under their noses, and demand to know why persons of doubtful morals speak up for Christ, embarrassing the righteous and the just.

(.....) 

It is true that Milo jokes about homosex in a fashion that makes light of an abomination. But it is not for this that he is on the receiving end of the Two Minute Hate. 

It is because he will not bow to the violent and bloodthirsty idol called Political Correctness, who is a jealous goddess, and will have no other gods before her. 

And I will restate for the record that Milo has exposed three different pedophiles, which is three more than all of his critics and attackers have ever exposed in their lives.  Evan McMullin and his "Reagan Battalion"...

Hell, that right there pisses me the fuck off.  That backstabbing, Hillary-supporting, liberal shitstain claiming to be a conservative McMullin, calling his organization the REAGAN BATTALION?  Evan McMullin is so far to the Left of Ronald Reagan that even associating the two of them should be considered a crime.  Against honesty if nothing else.  A crime against accuracy in your vocabulary.

So Evan McMullin and his swarm of SJW howler monkeys and backstabbing traitors aren't bringing down Milo because he's a pedo.  That's just an excuse, and it's a pathetically weak excuse based on actual, y'know, FACTS.  They're bringing him down because he's a threat to their power.  They're taking out one of the most effective weapons against the Left because he threatens to upset the establishment apple cart.  Which once again highlights the fact that the 2016 election wasn't about Left vs. Right.  The GOP, huge parts of it including Evan McMullin, are effectively just another branch of the Democrat Party.  The election of Donald Trump was a rejection of that section of the GOP.  McMullin is now butt-hurt about it, and he's taking down as many of Trump's supporters as he can.

We can't rest on our laurels.  2018 calls.  And backstabbing, Hillary supporting, liberal shitstains like Evan McMullin will be constantly attacking the people who he perceives as taking away his goodies. We have to be punching back, twice as hard.

Gutless

So first Sony pulls "The Interview" and practically begs Kimmy Dimmy Jong Un not to be mean, which causes some theaters who were going to show the movie to switch to another movie in it's place.

That movie?  "Team America, World Police".  Awesome, thinks I.

Now the distributor for that movie, Paramount, prevents those theaters from showing it in place of "The Interview".

If you ever wanted to know what kind of craven, gutless pathetic wimpy little bitches run Hollywood, you now have your answer.  This is disgusting.

This enrages me. And it should enrage you.

Obama sells out the Kurds for cheap.

They’ve been shafted again. The editors of Bloomberg note that the Turks are watching ISIS destroy the Kurds, in much the same way as the Soviets stood by and let the Nazis crush the Warsaw uprising. 

If there has been one group of people that we could actually trust to do what they say they were going to do, (other than Israel), it's been the Kurds.  And they could have been our strongest ally in the Middle East of all the Muslim groups.  Instead, Obama is letting them be slaughtered wholesale.

The next time someone turns down our offerings, remember that we allowed our allies to die in lots, rather than lift one single finger that might upset some turbaned dictator.  The destruction of America's foreign policy under Obama is complete.  He has alienated our allies, destroyed alliances, given our enemies hope and strength, and killed future alliances dead before they even had a chance to start.

Is Obama was actively working to destroy America, or is he so incompetent that he destroys everything he touches?  At this point, how would you tell the difference?

Ragin' Dave's Quote of the Day, Naming the Evil edition

John C. Wright, found over at Vox Populi:

In sum, their philosophy consists of the single principle that no philosophy is valid. Their ethics consist of a single precept that making ethical judgments is ‘judgmental’ that is, ethically wrong. Their economic theory, socialism, consists of an arrogant denial that the laws of economics apply to economic phenomena. Their theory of psychology says that men do not have free will, because cause and effect is absolute; their theory of metaphysics is that subatomic particles do have free will, because cause and effect is statistical, approximate, uncertain, incomplete, and illusory. And on and on. All their thought is one self-refuting statement after another.

Philosophically, theologically and morally, the modern mindset is an end-state. Once a man has utterly rejected reason, he cannot reason himself to another conclusion. Once he has rejected morality, he has no sense of honor to compel him to live up to a philosophy more demanding than narrow selfishness.

If that doesn't sum up the Obamanation, I don't know what does.  And it certainly nails the type of people who fill my current cesspool living space of Los Angeles.

Read the whole thing, and Vox's commentary on it as well.  In order to defeat the enemy, you must know the enemy.

Compounding Failure

So, while reading this piece regarding a ProgNazi named Arne Duncan taking out his frustrations on "White Suburban Moms", I came to a point in the piece that I just really, really wanted to highlight:

A few years back, the Achievement Gap Initiative at Harvard found that 12 percent of black 4^th grade boys were proficient in reading — compared to 38 percent of white boys. It found that only 12 percent of black 8th grade boys were proficient in math — compared with 44 percent of white boys.

12% of black 8th graders are proficient in math.  44% of white 8th graders are proficient in math.

Less than half of the students in the 8th grade are proficient in math.  At a cost of roughly $9k per student nationwide, less than half the students are learning what they need to learn.  If that does not prove how worthless and damaging the publik skool sistim truly is, I don't know what else could be shown.

The rest of the piece highlights how the Federal Government is doing it's level best to prevent local and state leadership from improving their school systems.  It's rather sickening, when you realize that our schools are horrible failures because the FedGov is making them horrible failures.  We need to destroy the Department of Education, get rid of it completely, and start over fresh.  There can be no reform of a totally corrupted, debased system.
