QUOTE OF THE DAY … from an anonymous student … good stuff, shows what we are up against.

David Davis

We don’t really do quotes of the day for we have not time to scratch our arses…but… 

“It does seem that most people are inherently leftist, simply
because leftist arguments are emotionally appealing on a
shallow level, but to investigate further requires patience -
something most teenagers don’t have.

Just the other day I was talking to someone who first called
themselves a liberal, then said that property was theft, and
then advocated Marxian type of communal ownership. So I don’t
have to look far to see confused people.”

Socialism seems messianic, moral and majoritarian. Always. By hijacking and corrupting the innate human urge to do good, it achieves its ends which are evil.

Everyone wants to help the poor, for example. That’s why we all put up with the crinimally-corrupt and malevolent “Fair Trade” scam, and we don’t roar into supermarkets in our jackboots (all Libertarians wear jackboots, all the time: did you not know?) and tear out the fixtures on which the stuff is displayed, and torch them in the car parks… So it’s only a small step for really nasty guys to pretend that they share your belief in the Gospels of Christ, for example, to make you feel like a shit for not giving them money to “help the poor with”. Then, when you have laughed in their faces, they come back next day, with guns, asking for double.

I remember arguing, in 1977, with a man who would not buy a copy of “The Free Nation” (anyone remember the Freedom Association?) saying he was a “Christian Socialist”. I thought at the time that this was an oxymoron.
