Fall Of The West Reason 485868666: Progressives And Violence

"I can't wait to write a defense of the drone strike that takes out Julian Assange."

Lord, these people are shameless.

No, not Muslim terrorists.

Big government progressives like Time's Michael Grunwald.

"Fair point. I'll delete. @rober1236Jua my main problem with this is it gives Assange supporters a nice safe persecution complex to hide in."

HE alone advocated the MURDER of someone and somehow he makes himself the victim? Cla-ssic. 

He later apologized. 

Whatever.

Never heard of the guy until I spent some time reading up on him. Along the way, I came across this priceless gem:

"There’s dangerous stuff out there, and while it’s probably fun to stand with Rand, I’m more inclined to stand with the public servants keeping us safe, even when the al-Qaeda operative they ice in Yemen is an American citizen, even when they shut down an entire city to hunt for a single teenager, and yes, even when they try to regulate coal plants and oil rigs and Wall Street casinos that would greatly prefer to be left alone. That’s why I pay my taxes, and that’s why I don’t feel like I’m being tyrannized when I pay them."

Putz. And not cute in a Potsie or Ralph Malph kinda way.

And Limbaugh is apparently the nut job.

Notice how he goes right past due process and the rule of law as long as the "gov'mint gets their guy" because he "pays taxes" to do that.

America was born from resistance to tyranny, and our skepticism of authority is a healthy tradition. But we’re pretty free. And the “don’t tread on me” slippery-slopers on both ends of the political spectrum tend to forget that Big Government helps protect other important rights. Like the right of a child to watch a marathon or attend first grade without getting killed — or, for that matter, the right to live near a fertilizer factory without it blowing up your house.

Did I say putz? Silly me. More like turd. Notice he uses examples where the government failed to protect citizens.

Just for kicks, apparently he defended the Solyndra disaster.

Anyway. /sigh.

Time spoke out against Grunwald's tweet but as of yet he still has his job. And some food girl loses her job for saying "niggar" decades ago.

I guess hoping for someone to be killed is less outrageous than saying a taboo word these days on the left side of the equation.

Note: When people call for the death - or at least look forward to writing about the death of - other people to push an agenda, it merits being put under my 'Fall of the West' category.
