the left should be forcibly expelled. they are a purely parasitical class, their leaving will not damage Aerica in the least. talking about the hard left here, the true believers.

I’m reminded of Sherman’s statement that there were 300,000 Southerners who needed to die, because they were useless troublemakers (I paraphrase). Incidentally, he wasn’t talking about “rednecks,” who live to this day. He was talking about some planters–not all planters, just the most extreme group, the ones who believed they had a right to have other people do their work for them and who believed they had a right to kill anyone, black or white, who felt otherwise.

Look at the present situation: it’s similar. The Left believes that they should be philosopher kings, just like the planters Sherman was talking about. (John Calhoun used Plato’s ideas about Rule of the Wise to justify slavery).

They live in areas that largely are ruled by their own warped ideas, yet it isn’t enough for them; they want to put the whole nation under their own political stasis. (Note that when visualizing the future, they never have any really cool ideas, like settling space or enriching mankind through atomic transformation. They just want “affordable health care.” Sounds like something out of Aldous Huxley).

They view themselves as sexually gifted, as did the planters and, before them, the British Cavaliers. All these groups were reactionaries who were fighting truly liberal ideas, yet they viewed their alleged sexual superiority to the Puritans/fundamentalists as being far more important than their desire to suppress far more important freedoms than sex.

Honestly, I believe that, like it or not, we’re going to be forced into a Shermanesque solution to our Leftist problem.
