LIBERALS CELEBRATE THE LITTLETON MASSACRE
|
|
People in Littleton, Colorado say
they are very upset about the release of tapes showing
the shootings there. I saw one person after another
in Littleton expressing disbelief about how their
tragedy was being "used."
But I didn't hear any such complaints about the
blatant use of the tragedy by liberals.
Like vultures, liberals swoop in on every tragedy
that involves a gun, and everybody seems to think
they have a right to. Nobody argues that the same
old gun control measures would have had any effect
at all in preventing the Colorado tragedy. But those
who act so outraged about the tape seem to agree
that anything the left wants to use as grist for
its mill is just fine.
So I am less than impressed by Littleton's supposed
outrage at those who made the tape. And the liberal
media are right in there showing wild resentment
at anyone ELSE who uses their tragedy for their
own purposes.
Recently I read an editorial where a liberal was
quoting a law enforcement veteran who opposed gun
control. Then he said, "In fairness to him,
he expressed these views before the Littleton incident."
In other words, one was to assume that everybody's
mind was changed on gun control by the fact that
two kids went on a killing rampage in Littleton,
Colorado.
Now let me ask you, is there anyone who can take
the liberal crocodile tears about the incident at
Littleton seriously? Are any liberals really concerned
about the people killed there?
As the anniversary of the tragedy was marked by
intense media attention, some people in Littleton
were asking why. Why, they ask, don't we put the
tragedy behind us?
The reason is that liberals consider Littleton one
of the finest occurrences of the decade, and they
want to savor it.

Two people died in a nuclear plant
accident in Japan. It's the first time anybody died
in nuclear energy production in a developed country.
But only those two deaths are important. The Jane
Fondaista media is licking its chops, declaring
that this will probably end Japan's use of nuclear
power.
Japan uses coal and oil for its non-nuclear power.
Would anybody care to estimate how many people in
South African coal mines and on oil rigs died producing
that gigantic amount of energy? No, of course not.
People who die producing coal and oil are just working
people. They don't matter.
By the same token, the kids that died at Littleton
matter. Their deaths can be used to push gun control.
Hundreds of people who die defenseless throughout
America each week are never mentioned.
So working stiffs who die on oil rigs or in coal
mines make no difference. People who die in nuclear
incidents matter. People only matter if liberals
can use them.

MICROSOFT
CASE: A LIBERAL GETS MUGGED
|
|
Some years ago, when the Internet was much
smaller, I was in a political newsgroup shortly before
an election. As we argued along, a message came in from,
I believe, billgates@microsoft.com, though I am not sure
that was exactly right. What was clear from the address
was that it came from Gates himself.
Gate's message was three words long: "A loyal liberal."
Bill Gates is a limousine liberal, just as his family
is. They are affluent northwestern people. Despite his
own genius, it was his mother's connections that got Gates
in with the big-money people. He came a long way on his
own brains and drive. But he did not, as the conservative
debater on CNN put it, go from being a college dropout
operating out of a garage to billionaire status.
I don't like liberals. Their entire program is always
aimed at taking what is mine or attacking my people --
white people, Southerners, Americans in general, and even,
in their environmentalist extremism, being flatly anti-human.
Respectable conservatives always talk about how nice liberals
are. They say leftists are just a bit mistaken. Not me.
I feel that liberalism is evil. It is also unnecessary.
We could have a complete, and far better, national dialogue
if this kind of traitorous self-hatred were not part of
it.
Gates is rich, so conservatives love him dearly.
Conservative reaction to anyone with money is an instant
grovel, just as their reaction to anyone with a uniform
is an instant grovel.
In my early twenties, I was somewhat that way myself.
Then I discovered that we and our heritage are just some
more of the things businessmen love to sell out. Anyone
who doubts me should take a look at the South Carolina
Chamber of Commerce, which was fighting to get rid of
our Confederate flag long before the NAACP weighed in.
So when the Justice Department and the Federal judiciary
decided to break Microsoft up for being a monopoly, conservatives
went straight to the Wailing Wall, tore their clothes,
and screamed as loud as they would if somebody wanted
a dollar less spent on the Pentagon.
I remember reading William Buckley's columns back when
Ferdinand Marcos was a billionaire dictator and invited
Buckley to visit. One worshipful column after another
poured from Buckley's typewriter. It was stomach-turning
worship, even for a respectable conservative falling at
the feet of the wealthy.
Respectable conservatives worship Gates. I look at the
situation a different way.
Gates is a loyal liberal, and two liberal icons, the Clinton
Justice Department and the Federal Judiciary, have united
to split his company up.
I was a professional economist and professor in economics,
so I realize how hideously complicated the question of
monopoly can be, even when it does not involve high tech.
What I enjoy about this situation has nothing to do with
the merits of the case.
To me, Bill Gates is a liberal getting mugged, and I love
it. Liberals who love criminals are asking for me and
mine to get mugged, and they consider racial and national
treason to be the highest virtue. When they get mugged,
they get what they asked for all of us. When their beloved
muggers rob and beat them, I see it is as simple justice.
They got what they asked that all of us should get.
Gates is a liberal who got mugged by those he and his
fellow limousine liberals have wished on all of us. As
far as I'm concerned, they deserve each other.
