All in favor of banning Emma the Troll?

Ah. That's why she was banned. She might be accepted over at TrollKingdom.

And I did. Review the same post for "son of a threelegged bitch" as well. Other remarks anent Radar's character and intellect may be found elsewhere, of a non-choirboy tone. Naval service can among other things make you eloquent.

I don't recall linking those two terms anywhere in my writing. My problem with the Democrats as presently constituted and led is they're too socialist and much too statist, and unable to fight undemocratic enemies. While these are three strikes, none of these is necessarily atheist, and I really don't beat up on atheists much, though I do regard them as unfortunate and am not shy about saying so. "Progressive" is something chiefly progressive of enlarged state power, and too much power centering in the State is bad for humanity. Tends to keep humans subadult, and that can't be good.

When you come up with stuff like that, Sam, should I perhaps start questioning your reading comprehension? You never seem to get beyond finding what you expect to see there, and I keep seeing your expectations getting out of line.

I presume you meant "monarchist," which I know you've spelt better in the past. Copyedit, m'boy, copyedit -- you do have an hour or two's window. Again, I question your comprehension of what I write. Erik von Kühnelt-Leddihn was an unabashed monarchist, and I've said so -- about Erik. My ideas of how to run a real-world nation run much closer to republics, and democratic ones. Standard-issue American, really. English conservatives tend to monarchism; American conservatives to republicanism -- something that in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century England was regarded as a dangerous radicalism.

Oh, and for the record, I'm NOT defending Radar. Radar can get quite nasty without my help.

I agree, and think it shows sense on your part. I like when you do that.

EvKL's case that fascism and communism fundamentally confound "left" and "right" as popularly understood was unusual, all right, and striking. But he made the case very well in Leftism Revisited. I found it persuasive; I would not have agreed with the idea before he laid forth the argument.

I feel alienated and somewhat annoyed that I have not been alienated and annoyed by this "Emma".

Actually I think he meant "muncharist". It's some kind of lesbian term from what I remember.

Goddammit.

Hobbs always approved of smooching.

Well that's all well and good, but you need to remember that
Immanuel Kant was a real piss-ant who was very rarely stable.
Heideggar, Heideggar was a boozy beggar who could think you under the table.
David Hume could out-consume Wilhelm Freidrich Hegel.
And Whittgenstein was a beery swine who was just as sloshed as Schlegel.
There's nothing Nieizsche couldn't teach 'ya 'bout the raising of the wrist.
Socrates, himself, was permanently pissed.
John Stewart Mill, of his own free will, after half a pint of shanty was particularly ill.
Plato, they say, could stick it away, half a crate of whiskey every day!
Aristotle, Aristotle was a bugger for the bottle,
And Hobbes was fond of his Dram.
And Rene Descartes was a drunken fart:
"I drink, therefore I am."
Yes, Socrates himself is particularly missed;
A lovely little thinker, but a bugger when he's pissed.

The site she got that from fucks [with] everybody's childhood. It may be the largest repository of Pokémon pr0nz anywhere.

It's also the only place I've ever seen porn of Elfquest and Girl Genius.

Don't think I've seen any Alley Oop...

What site?
