Friday Spotlight: SamuraiScot

SamuraiScot

A prime example of the anecdote-ridden existence many Freepers live, and it's pitfalls. He spends a lot of time discarding anecdotes he doesn't like, and elevating those he does to a general rule.

Of course, he's also full of the usual extremist Freeper tropes. Wants to abolish the FDA. Thinks liberal women age much worse than conservatives. Believes Muslims to be calculating supervillian-types.

Even his optimism is crazy - he fully believes President Cruz will happen, and will solve all of the above issues when he ends the government.



Nicole Wallace speaks ill of Sarah Palin:

Nicole is looking kinda . . . old. She hasn’t aged nearly as well as the woman who (in her mind only) is her rival. Purity of heart is what keeps one young, unfortunately for Nicole.

Solve all of America's problems: stop caring for the poor!

Eliminating welfare and leaving it to the private sector would have a wide range of benefits, of course—the rebirth of American civilization, for instance. It needs to be dismantled doorjamb by doorjamb, and we could start almost anywhere. Except: I would not start with stopping the rate of growth. That doesn't change welfare's character, which I think is essential to producing a change in people's assumptions about how to live.

If SamuraiScot were A VERY SHOUTY PRESIDENT:

IMPEACH ALL JUDGES WHO IGNORE THE CONSTITUTION OR CITE FOREIGN LAW IN THEIR DECISIONS.

DEFUND ALL AGENCIES NOT AUTHORIZED BY THE CONSTITUTION. YES, THAT INCLUDES EPA, IRS, FEMA, FTC, FEC, FCC, LABOR DEPT., NLRB, DEPT. OF ED., NATIONAL PARKS, DEPT. OF ENERGY, HEALTH AND INHUMAN SERVICES. . .

—LAY OFF ALL STAFF AND SELL ALL OFFICE SPACE AND EQUIPMENT TO THE PRIVATE SECTOR.

THEN, ON DAY 2 . . .

Abolish the FDA, because Stalin.

Abolish the FDA. Like all Progressive inventions, it's unnecessary, unconstitutional, and the impetus for its creation was a set of feverish lies. The FDA owes its nanny-state beginnings to the Pure Food and Drugs Act of 1906—which was inspired, no joke, by a novel—a work of fiction in every sense.

The author, Upton Sinclair, was a Communist writing about the plight of poor immigrants working in filthy conditions in the meat-packing industry. The conditions, like the characters, were invented for the purpose. The novel's title was The Jungle. (As so often happens with Communists, what is politically correct yesterday is treason next week. Surely today, the title would have to be The Rainforest.)

In the 1930s, Sinclair was a fan and supporter of Stalin's purges.

Arab Christians suck:

Middle East Christians are the biggest Jew-haters I've ever seen. They act like coward dhimmies. Get their butts handed to them by the Moslems, getting exterminated—and they come to my church at Christmas time selling carved knick-knacks and complaining about how the JEWS in Israel are hurting their business by taking security measures.

Collateral deaths of Muslim civilians is all a hoax. All of it:

Having researched and followed many, many tragic stories about Moslem victims of Israeli violence and indifference, I discovered that in each case, the story was false. Sometimes the "victim" wasn't really dead, and turned up walking around and joking later on the same video that seemed to show him being killed. Sometimes I'd find that it was the same old woman wailing in front of every blown-up house in the area over a period of years, claiming to Western reporters that her children had been inside each one. Sometimes it was Moslem photographers putting children's toys into wreckage of any kind and selling the photo to gullible wire services. (And somehow, even after the "blast" and dust, the toys always showed up in the picture clean and sparkly.)

And sometimes, the victim really was killed—by other Moslems—on some other occasion, and the body was brought in and dumped where the Western reporters were instructed to "find" it.

More Muslim fakery:

Photo of journalist carrying dead son in Gaza spurs online grief

How poignant and perfect this shot is! How wonderfully well-lit, with his buds all standing around him in perfect position, with perfect expressions.

I wonder how many takes they needed before they got everything right. I'm an aficionado of Moslem phoniness, and if a shot looks too good to be true, it is. They pose everything. Sometimes the dead person has to get up and move to a different position so the fotog or videographer can get a better angle. There are videos of them doing this.

I remember seeing a tragic still shot of an old Arab woman crying to Allah in front of the ruin of her poor little house where she had lived for 50 years, hit by an Israeli bomb. (Boo!) A few months later, she appeared crying to Allah in front of a different ruined house where she had lived for 50 years.

Poverty is caused by attitude:

Poverty is caused by behavior, not a lack of cash. That's why expropriating funds from anyone by force to transfer them to the poor does no good.

Females on juries - just another bad idea.

The goal of requiring female jury duty—and combat duty—is to break open the family to the claws of the state. It's to make the household a temporary grouping, instead of an autonomous unit that governs itself, and to make every person, including small children, individually subject to state authority. This statist religion requires that no decision be too private to be subject to the review and intervention of the state. And that the state be subject to no one.

Only gays get AIDS:

There was a campaign by homosexual groups a few years back to sell the idea that we had to devote the equivalent of the entire Pentagon budget (or whatever) to fighting AIDS—using the claim that AIDS "can happen to anybody," that is, including normal males. And when you looked at the stats, which came out a year or two later, it was clearly, bizarrely untrue. Okay, a lie. It's what they do best. I guess it's cute and puckish somehow.

Of course, previously, the same, petulant individuals were trying to get money for AIDS research on the grounds that it was a special, gay, victim thing.

But before that, the disease was called, in the epidemiology field, GRID—for "Gay-Related Immunological Disorder." That had sent the militant homosexuals into a frenzy that someone would dare oppress them by associating them with a disease so horrible it suggested the wrath of God.

Soon they adopted the disease (and the fund-raising potential) as their own—a dignifying tragedy that was somehow Society's fault. And AIDS became for them like the Ring for Gollum.

Today, with the "norming" of homosexuality into more institutions, the incidence of AIDS is skyrocketing again. (Among homosexuals.)

Soon Conservatives will sweep Cruz into office:

I think a lot has changed in the year since this was written. The conservative base is waking up like an angry bear in springtime. Cruz is playing very strategically by rolling up support early from a huge constituency that could get him numerical support and a huge amount of money—Evangelicals. He has a clear advantage over all the other candidates in this.

Where necessary, conservatives and delegates should ignore the stupid rules, show up at the convention with a plan, and make trouble. They could turn a prissy, control-freak convention upside-down in no time.

Not a fan of vaccines:

Here in the U.S., my kids didn't get shots at all, and are now grown. We raised them to play outside, wash their hands a lot, clean their cuts, and take Airborne if they felt a sore throat coming on. They've always been healthy as horses.

Women, post-college.

Once you're out of your early 20s, different things make you happy—it happens first among the women. They're not queens of the universe anymore, and they get practical so fast, it makes your poor male head spin.

Marriage survives because of self-interest—enlightened, wise, far-seeing self-interest. When government doesn't put itself in the way, marriage not only survives, but dominates.

Civil Rights was a Communist Plot:

JFK distrusted Martin Luther King and the Civil Rights movement with good reason: It was run by white Communists, of whom MLK was one of their major puppets. For a taste, search for King's 1967 speech where he comes out against the Vietnam war. He says a couple of anti-Soviet things, and then proceeds to endorse a good dozen Soviet-backed revolutions in Africa and South America while trashing the U.S.—calling our country "the greatest purveyor of violence in the world today."

Biotruths about homosexuality:

The overwhelming observation of most people is that everyone you know who is a homosexual had an overbearing mother and an absent or aloof father—or an incident of molestation, or both. Heck of a coincidence.

The other logical possibility would be if the father's absence—in person or in personality—somehow produces a response in the mother carrying the early-stage child in utero to reduce the developing boy's testosterone "bath," such that he is born "less male." And that this factor would produce same-sex attraction, rather than some other effect you might expect, such as hermaphroditism. I've never heard of evidence for that, but it's pretty much the only "Born This Way" scenario that would make sense to me.

porno-twisted minds and slut-styling

Boys with porno-twisted minds and slut-styling girls are all signal and no message. That's what's depraved, and leads to depraved behavior.

In a sense you don't get it because you haven't really absorbed how different boys are from girls—because of our feminist-infested public discourse. What enrages the feminists is that nothing happens unless boys do something. Girls spend energy trying to get boys to do something. The crazy ones do this in a crazy way. The "objectifying" slides into crazy when everything goes into manipulating the other person—which is contemptuous of him.
