The True Motives of the "Compassionate" Left
Warning: the video is disturbing.
A British pundit, Virginia Ironside, displays disturbing psychological nudity here. She asserts that a loving, compassionate mother would take a pillow and smother a suffering child. This reminds me a lot of the noted animal rights advocate Peter Singer, a eugenicist who has said openly that deformed babies should be killed. Ironside and Singer represent a fairly common radical leftist viewpoint based on the "quality" of life versus the sanctity of life. Some of my readers have expressed concern over my strong feelings about leftists-here is one of the reasons why I feel as I do about them.

Eco-fascism jumps the shark: massive, epic fail! – Telegraph Blogs
Read about a truly hideous campaign of the Greens to convince people to reduce their carbon footprints. I posted this link to illustrate the true nature of these people.

On Morality
by Joan Didion
As it happens I am in Death Valley, in a room at the Enterprise Motel and Trailer Park, and it is July, and it is hot. In fact it is 119°. I cannot seem to make the air conditioner work, but there is a small refrigerator, and I can wrap ice cubes in a towel and hold them against the small of my back. With the help of the ice cubes I have been trying to think, because The American Scholar asked me to, in some abstract way about “morality,” a word I distrust more every day, but my mind veers inflexibly toward the particular.

Power is the Opiate of the Left
I have been told a few times that I should be tolerant of opposing points of view. Such tolerance is hardly appropriate when the opposing point of view is designed to enslave, plunder, or kill you. There should be no tolerance of leftism in any form, for it is a murderous, evil doctrine that at best reduces all of humanity (except the ruling class) to mediocrity, and at worst, kills us by government.
Much has been said about how the Leftist allegedly begins his career: he sees poverty and human misery, and wants to help. He can't afford to help on his own, because he dreams of ending all human suffering. The thought of finding just one man and helping him directly apparently never occurs to him. Instead, he gets the idea that the government, with it's enormous treasury, can do the job. Ending all poverty is difficult for one man to accomplish. Well, why take the weight of the world on your shoulders? Just go out on the street, find someone in dire need, and help that person directly, with your own money, and with your own compassion. Why force others to do so?

The Floating Fortress
Someone had left a Popular Mechanics magazine in the lobby of my bank, and my attention was drawn to the cover.
For those of you who've read Orwell's 1984, you might recall the "floating fortresses" of that fictitional world. It looks like the floating fortresses will become a reality soon. Read the article.
