| There is an adage that reads "never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity... but don´t rule out malice." This is known as Heinlein´s or Hanlon´s Razor (there is only a slight difference between the two). Unfortunately many people only go by the first part of Heinlein´s Razor, leaving out the "but don´t rule out malice" part. People using this heuristic decision-making shortcut often think that even though some things that people do seem very suspect, and even though mental red flags are going up and instinctive alarms are sounding

Should be a Must Read. But it requires reading the whole thing. The last paragraph really sums it up and describes someone we have come to know well. Him and Alinsky, who preached that gradual change would not work. A total teardown of our institutions had to be achieved first so that revolution could take place.

There is malice and then there is sheer evil. That´s the road we have progressed on from 2008 to 2012. Malice was obvious from 2008, but effort was made to cover or mask evil. Now that pretense is being dropped. What 2016 will bring, god only knows.

Leftists prey upon the patience and fairness of conservatives. Add in the fear of being labeled as a racist and the leftists get a free pass on everything.
Everything.
It´s worth noting that those on the left attribute all conservative ideas to malice without bothering to even consider their merits.

Having and pursuing an ideological agenda is neither malice nor evil. It very well could be stupidity.
Pursuing an ideological agenda against the will of the people, using every means and effort to manipulate, lie and coerce certainly is evil.
The Dim agenda is simple. We know what is best and you will like it. We will stop at nothing to achieve it. The GOP agenda is to try and stop the Dims without stooping to their level of malevolence and malfeasance.
A noble objective if the voters vote. The problem in America is that many of the people who can stop this nonsense are sitting on the sidelines because the solutions are not perfect. Good is NOT the enemy of perfect.
If and until the majority of Americans who disagree with the evil and malice of the Dims do not step forward and vote - this will continue until there is no way to change it.
All who can see what is going on needs to be recruiting others to the cause. Otherwise, the end result is inevitable.

From an article on Obama, the Democrats and Alinsky that was published in May, 2008:
In the Alinsky model, “organizing” is a euphemism for “revolution”—a wholesale revolution whose ultimate objective is the systematic acquisition of power by a purportedly oppressed segment of the population, and the radical transformation of America’s social and economic structure. The goal is to foment enough public discontent, moral confusion, and outright chaos to spark the social upheaval that Marx, Engels, and Lenin predicted—a revolution whose foot soldiers view the status quo as fatally flawed and wholly unworthy of salvation. Thus, the theory goes, the people will settle for nothing less than that status quo’s complete collapse—to be followed by the erection of an entirely new and different system upon its ruins. Toward that end, they will be apt to follow the lead of charismatic radical organizers who project an aura of confidence and vision, and who profess to clearly understand what types of societal “changes” are needed.

Revolution. "The status-quo´s complete collapse. "Charismatic radical organizers who project an aura of confidence and vision". Sound familiar?

Near the end of the article when he talks about women being able to serve in all areas of the military, he uses the term "required". Is this a fact? It´s now "required"? Because I was under the impression that these areas were now simply "open" whereas women had previously been barred from those roles.
My thought has always been that women should be able to serve in any capacity they can qualify for. I know the social aspects are a challenge and I understand that. But if someone can physically do the job and has the temerity to tackle it, I call that person an asset to be used in the cause.
Considering neither males nor females are safe from rapists and torturers within our current enemy corps, even that has been equalized.

The dangerous part of this adage is that, to the Left, what they´re doing is not malicious. On the contrary--they believe what they´re doing is for our own good. Of course, they will couch their language in good-feeling platitudes (e.g. "we need to ban assault weapons for the sake of our children", "who doesn´t want to save our environment", "there´s a scientific consensus", "we need to protect our mothers´ and daughters´ health", etc.) They also understand that if they came out and said precisely what they are for (e.g. higher taxes for all, abortion-on-demand, the banning of all firearms, etc.), no one would purchase what they´re selling. So they have to lie. Their lies are intentional, and to us, they are malicious. But to the Left, their lies are for our own good.

Traditional American values based on capitalism and Judeo Christian principles have done more to improve the state of man than any other system EVER. Communism / Socialism / Marxism, or whatever you want to call it is inherently EVIL. This was common knowledge 50 years ago. The left is simply doing the work of the devil. Nothing more, nothing less.

For the leftists who are in power, I don´t believe that they believe they are doing anything for the good of anyone but themselves. For them, it´s all about power and control and who cares about the consequences.
As to tearing down our institutions, as of now most of those institutions are overrun with leftist power mongers. Maybe the revolution that the left anticipates will not be what actually happens. It´s long past time for them to reap the whirlwind.

At the intersection of

The banking meltdown of 2008 certainly looks like it was engineered in Washington. Just way to many coincidences to be bad luck.

I think that I would have to agree with the author. There is just far too much happening in this country to attribute it to bad luck or stupidity. It has to be planned. And the major problem is, that the siren song of marxism, socialism, or whatever ism you chose to call it, is very appealing to those on the low rungs of the socio-economic ladder. They all want the government to take care of them at the expense of "the rich". And they don´t have any knowledge of the horrendous failures of all of these isms throught history. And yet the will vote for them every time.

The beauty of the article is that the reader is making a mental list of all the demonstrations of malice that have been witnessed in the last 6 years. Then the choice of women being required to be represented in all combat roles is such a perfect example because there has been zero grass roots agitation for this. An earlier example in exactly the same vein is bringing back the draft. I think of these folks as ´fellow travelers´ associate them in my mind with the walking dude from Stephen King´s The Stand.

Every past attempt to make this communistic ideology work was beneficial only to the very top tier, until the whole thing grew so top heavy it collapsed. Sad to say, it was the millions who lost their liberty, possessions and lives who paid the price. But in the case of America, it is becoming clearer that those pushing us over this cliff will also pay an awful price, as there are puppet masters behind the curtain, on the world stage who will throw the complicit in with the downtrodden.

The standard-bearer of the movement hell-bent on taking over everything we Americans have held dear for well over two centuries is His Glib Nibs, BHO. Over the past four years, it’s become frighteningly obvious that what they worship more than anything at all is power. Power at ANY cost! Nothing trumps it. They will do anything to achieve it and likewise to retain it. Furthermore, they count on a broad cross-section of our citizenry to be and remain ignorant of what is taking place in what is still our nation. That the preponderance of our media is in lockstep with them renders a no-contest outcome virtually assured. When was the last time we heard “journalists” assertively query, and follow-up with more queries, Obama or his cohorts as to the purpose of the purchase of a billion or more bullets? Are there that many skeet flying around loose? Beware! Malice in Blunderland is running rampant!

Was 0´s decision to retire for the evening that the Benghazi attacks were occurring malicious, stupid or both? I doubt that there was an absence of malice. After all, it was just four more white guys dying, as many more had already done in Afghanistan. Even the Navy SEAL who killed Bin Laden and has a list of service related disablities has been hung out to dry.

As soon as you can afford an assault rifle with a telescopic sight....buy one. And when ammunition again becomes available (and it will), buy a lot.
When the time comes, the regular army will not obey orders like: "Attack Peoria." Stinky the Gunrunner´s in-house militias in FBI, HS, etc., will be overwhelmed by a heavily armed citizenry.
Vote tea party in the primaries; Republican in the regular election; get ready to fight.

Democratic Party officials believe that Kevin Strouse is exactly the kind of candidate who can help them retake the House next year. He’s a smart, young former Army Ranger — good qualities for any aspiring politician. But what party leaders really like is that Strouse doesn’t have particularly strong views on the country’s hottest issues. Immigration? Tax policy? “Certainly I have a lot of research to do,” Strouse acknowledged in an interview Thursday as he announced his candidacy in a suburban Philadelphia House district.

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank

Carbon emissions in the US were at their lowest level in 2012 since 1994, according to figures released by the US Energy Information Administration. We did it without carbon trading scams, the EPA making carbon dioxide a poison, or obeying the dictates of the Kyoto climate Treaty. We did it partly because of decreased economic activity as a result of the Obama recovery-that-isn’t, but mostly because of good old fashioned market forces; competition between natural gas and coal: Energy-related carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in 2012 were the lowest in the United States since 1994

It is amazing just how wrong economists were in their predictions for the number of jobs that were to be created in March. The “consensus” figure was 200,000 — a far cry from the actual number created which was 88,000. Totally “unexpected,” as usual. In one way, you can’t blame them. After a better than average gain in February of 236,000 (revised upward this month to 268,000), along with some positive numbers in housing and consumer spending, there were no doubt many analysts who began breathing a sigh of relief and believing that the long-awaited jobs recovery was upon us.

Rich Lowery in the New York Post (4-02-2013) accuses the liberals of being the new climate deniers, considering that they don´t recognize that there´s been no global warming for the last fifteen years. This shouldn´t surprise Lowery. When the liberals hang onto the neck of a cause, they don´t let go. They have ignored murders, rapes, wars, nuclear proliferation, and everything wrong with the world to focus in on their little area -- the horror of carbon emissions. You´d think liberals would have learned from their earlier panic about overpopulation

President Obama will propose a budget next week that embraces a risky strategy of courting Republicans for a grand bargain on the debt while angering Democratic allies with cuts to the nation’s entitlement programs. White House officials said Friday that Obama’s budget would cut Medicare and Social Security and ask for less tax revenue than he has previously sought. The budget, to be released Wednesday, will fully incorporate the offer Obama made to House Speaker John A. Boehner (R-Ohio) during December’s “fiscal cliff” talks — which included $1.8 trillion in deficit reduction through spending cuts and tax increases.

President Obama´s biggest gaffe yesterday when speaking of California Attorney General Kamala Harris was not in flirtatiously complimenting her as "the best-looking attorney general," but in introducing an observation from the system of beauty into a forum that was about the system of power.What´s that, you say? Irin Carmon does a great job in Salon in laying out the bounds of propriety for when it´s appropriate to talk about a woman´s looks as a general matter. But I´ve long felt we lack a solid theoretical underpinning for easily discussing these issues, and why precisely it is that
