I've been a bad, bad fox.

Image
Yours truly, the friendliest fox you've ever known, has officially been sent to Twitmo.  I always thought I'd either avoid Twitter jail completely, or totally lose my cool one day and go down in a blaze of glory.  But no... Where did I go wrong? I mean, yeah, I've fallen in with an unsavory crowd of free speechin', gun totin', far alt right neo reactionary red hat conserva trads on Twitter, but that happened a long time ago. What happened lately to push me over the edge? When did I become a threat? It was when I told some rando commie to "Get slapped." That's apparently worth 12 hours in the slammer. And since, y'know, context don't count for shit on Twitter, I figured I'd provide it here, where no one will see it. Now, I'm not a follower of @MattWalshBlog, but he pops up in my feed from time to time. And I couldn't help but click on this disturbing video of a grown adult chasing down and slapping a child. Somehow, my eye...

Why Communists Tear Down Statues

Both Ron Coleman and Jesse Kelly dropped brilliant insights in the last 24 hours that I think dovetail each other. We keep calling them socialists but they have no interest whatever in seizing the means of production (a concept they have no familiarity with), ending private property (which they love when it's theirs) or even leading the proletariat (whom they openly despise) — Ron Coleman (@RonColeman) November 23, 2021 If you’d like to know why statues matter to the communists and why you shouldn’t grab your ankles when they point out a military base named after a Confederate general, do some reading on Mao’s Cultural Revolution. It will explain WHY they do it. (HINT: It’s not about slavery.) — Jesse Kelly (@JesseKellyDC) November 23, 2021 Communists destroy the history of a nation. Lenin did it. Stalin mastered it. Mao was fanatical about it. But why? What sense does it make? A statue of Robert E. Lee? A statue of Jefferson? Fort Bragg? What do they get out of it? — Jesse...

How Influential is the Right?

  These are my thoughts in response to a misread question. As they don't pertain to the question actually asked, I won't copy it here. But I felt these observations worth preserving. First we have to decide what we mean by "influence." As a term, I'm sure you know, the concept of the political "right" originates in revolutionary France, where in the National Assembly, supporters of the king sat to the right and supporters of the revolution sat to the left. Suffice it to say, those on the right proved to be less influential than might have benefitted France in the long run. One could look at the history of modern revolutions and come to the conclusion that the right loses all influence once revolution is seriously on the table. Of course, this is mere consistency of terms. Almost by definition, the left is the revolutionary side. Thus, revolutions occur when the right loses most or all of its influence. By that reckoning, the right enjoys influence most o...

I miss old Hollywood, when they were full of original ideas.

Guest Post: The NFL thinks its fans are racist.

 A while back, I told a friend that I struggle with my NFL fandom because I assume that a lot of the players I admire probably consider me a racist. He immediately pushed back, and maybe he was right. I didn't respond at the time, because it felt like any explanation I gave would sound like McGruber being more racist trying to not be racist. But I think I can explain it better now, with the way things have gone in the United States with Critical Race Theory and Democrats in general. Just recently, the top general in the US said he believed Trump wouldn't step down after losing the 2020 election . This is just one example among dozens of how divided we've gotten in the US along partisan lines.  The more I look into it, the more convinced I am that the "insurrection" on January 6th really was just a protest, not even a riot. I've seen videos of capitol police waving people in through the gates, talking with them calmly, taking pictures with them. I’ve seen vide...
