Enemies Within the Gates

Leftists Hate America. Leftists Hate America. Leftists Hate America.
We can pretend the aforementioned is not true but then how would you explain this? Video here. These young nitwits can spin whatever cloak of deceit they want but there’s no hiding the fact that their Religion is Leftism and they hate their country … immensely. Here’s the “brilliance” from one of the narcissists protesters:

My intention was not to cause pain but to visibilize the necessity of honoring all human life and to help a friend heal from the violence of genocide that she carries with her on a daily basis as an indigenous person. While the American flags on the Middlebury hillside symbolize to some the loss of innocent lives in New York, to others they represent centuries of bloody conquest and mass murder. As a settler on stolen land, I do not have the luxury of grieving without an eye to power. Three thousand flags is a lot, but the campus is not big enough to hold a marker for every life sacrificed in the history of American conquest and colonialism.

The emails filling my inbox indicate that this was not a productive way to start a dialogue about American imperialism. Nor did I imagine that it would be. Please understand that I am grappling with my complicity in the overwhelming legacy of settler colonialism. Part of this process for me is honoring the feelings and wishes of people who find themselves on the other side of this history.

  1. my father was in a C-camp for about 1-1/2 years, had special ID (tattoo)Wonder how much I’m owed and by who, or should I just send a request to Merkel for a few million???

  2. Send your request to Uncle Vlad, as he is now in the ‘peacemaking business’. Notably, the “Obama-Nation(tm)” seems to have some difficulty getting the message out that gassing children is a tad uncivilized…and a casus belli for war in Syria.
    Maybe they all have an issue with ‘moral gravitas’…like the student clowns who bewail the dead from 150 years ago who aren’t buried at the alleged site; ya have ta git yer facts straight first.
    At least the ‘evil Bush’ could cobble together a coalition of over 40 nations to deal with Saddam…the present leadership not so much.
    Its like the Spike Jones of foreign policy…

    American Ineffectualism
    Every American ally is cringing with embarrassment at the amateurishness of the last month.
    Apparently, KGB now stands for “Kind Good Boys” and they’ll remedy the “As-sad” situation.

  3. Industrial Grade Stupidity.
    Anyone that mentally deficient is going to have a rough life.
    And the blame is entirely theirs . . . A giant self inflicted wound.

  4. I dunno about hating america. This person is plagued by self loathing. Said loathing is externalized and , predictably turns into ridiculous bullshit.

  5. Same advice I have for all those green snotties in anguish over the supposed human induced environmental convulsions that planet earth and its eco-systems are going through.
    If you’re truly that torn and anguished over your vicarious complicities, go put yourself out of your misery.

  6. Being of first generation British extraction, D’ya think I could go after the good people of Italy, (Romans specifically) for invading Britain and subjecting my rather backward ancestors to good military & organizational skills, good roads, rational governance, appreciation of the arts, hygiene, and much more.
    It really doesn’t matter that it was an exchange of ideas…perhaps some subjugation, or that it was a kick start towards many modern day policies that our present day social order takes for granted…the fact is that it was colonialization and that’s gotta be bad!
    I demand compen$ation and am willing to hold my breath ’till I get it.

  7. That word “visibilize” revealed this person’s character more than anything else she wrote. All these annoying terms popping up right now: cis-gendered, white/male/thin-privileged, triggering/trigger warning, otherkin, two-spirited . . . it’s a whole new language.

  8. As far as I am concerned, there was no need to consult the Abenaki tribe. They are a defeated people who are likely living better now than they would be had the Europeans never arrived. The Normans invaded England and forced the people to speak French, and bend a knee to the Norman conquerors. Later, their descendants invaded and subjected the people of Ireland from whence my mother’s family came. – Cry me a river!

  9. These brainless morons are committing theft and, were there any individuals who had placed the flags in the grounds with any balls, they would have gone up to the beached whale from Canada and asked her politely to return their flag. Had she refused, they would announce that they were making a citizens arrest and then use whatever force necessary to get her to return the stolen property. A good legal beating when resisting arrest would possibly knock some sense into her; more brain damage couldn’t possibly make her any stupider.
    We’re letting certifiably insane people engage in actions which, not that long ago, would have been met with fists and boots making it very likely that such stupid actions would not be repeated. Only the masochistic or suicidally stupid would persist in acting like total louts.
    These “protesters” are creating a fictional idyllic past which might be acceptable if one is 4 years old, but for someone who’s supposedly in university, this mode of thinking is extremely regressive. It can’t be reasoned with and the manner in which one deals with destructive unreasonable people is force.

  10. I’m getting really tired of manufactured indigenism. If the writer is so conflicted with his guilt he can do the honourable thing and off himself and leave some space for those who wish to live in the present. His friends can post a youtube video on his behalf in lieu of a wake. Oral history has never been worth the paper its printed on, and last I looked, North America had at least two, maybe even three, colonizations before either the vikings or modern Europeans got here. Certainly, the “first nations” were especially quick to appreciate the influx of European technology, especially firearms, for the purpose of armed conflict with their “brethren”. The bow passed from common usage in less than 30 years aomng FN and the tribes were some of the best customers of eurobusiness.
    Odd that FN oral history never talks about the misery of keeping your longhouse warm and clean in a Canadian winter. ancestry has stories of valour, hardship, war, famine, disease, skullduggery and enlightenment. Time for FN to learn to sing a new song.

  11. My last para got whacked – it should read: “Odd that FN oral history never talks about the misery of keeping your longhouse warm and clean in a Canadian winter. Everybody’s ancestry has stories of valour, hardship, war, famine, disease, skullduggery and enlightenment. Time for FN to learn to sing a new song.

  12. I would qualify that statement by saying leftists hate the America that existed prior to the politically deconstructed hull we have now. Like all lefty pet peeves this one is steeped in fantasy. They hollowed out the political system decades ago and the economic system was left to function in the uber-taxed/regulated post-constitutional USSA is crony capitalism and kleptonomics – a monopolist/oligopolist shadow of true free market capitalism and demand economics.
    The only thing lefty rails about now in loathing America is that they feel they are not getting a big enough chunk of the swag the parties steal to buy their vote – that and the fact they don’t all work for the government yet, in some lush sinecure or entitlement sloth.
    To lefty the hollowed out Amerika is “bad” because it went insolvent paying the tab for American socialist decadence and now can’t afford the liabilities of the entitlement system because they broke the back of the private wealth engines of the nation, which have either gone off shore or on the dole.
    Yes Amerika ia baaaaaad because it has not make the lefty horde a rich and powerful controlling force in exchange for providing nothing more substantial to the nation. society or its economy than constant protest.

  13. Yeah well this is one of the features of a free society.
    “Those who trade freedom for security, usually get neither.” or words to that effect.

  14. Funny how FN history never mentions how the Iroquois extirpated the entire Neutral tribe from Ontario. And the Hurons. And the Algonquins, and etc. Or how they got the whole Grand River from the British Crown, but the only reason the land was available is because the -Iroquois- had killed everybody on it already.
    There’s a lot that doesn’t get mentioned in FN history. Like how all of the above happened before the eeeevile White Man got here.
    In Ontario the eeeevile White Man put an end to slavery and genocidal warfare that had been going pretty much nonstop for hundreds of years.
    The b@st@rds.
    Tell you what else. If we all left tomorrow morning and moved to Alpha Centauri, the First Nations would have the warfare and slavery deal back up and running full bore inside of 80 years. They’d be living in stick houses and paddling birch bark canoes again inside 20years.

  15. I swear I’m neither French nor Belgian, but trying to parse your comment with FN=”Fabrique Nacionale d’Herstal” was a might confusing. I am but a Yank, nevertheless I finally figured it out.
