Seconded. That first paragraph, in particular, is an all-time great! Sad to think that I once voted for the idiot Kerry back when he opposed the Shrub and Darth Cheney. Oh well, live and learn, I guess.
Meh, I get so tired of these JHK analyses and proclamations that most of us here on CFN already know. Sure, they're exquisitely worded and expounded upon per usual, but there are just blogs like this one, where there's just SIMPLY NOTHING ELSE TO SAY.
That said, I appreciate out host for letting us vent our spleens anyway. Cheers.
First it must be said that Mr. Kunstler is an exceptional writer, with a marvelous turn of phrase. However, as per your critique, his columns represent the mindset of conservatism. Conservatism itself is no better than some vague platitudes that hang on the wall ('lower taxes', 'smaller government', 'free market').
For the past 70 years conservatives have done nothing but whine and complain. The best they can offer is a laundry list of the latest leftist outrages, then sit back and say "It's obvious this is wrong", without ever analyzing how and why it's wrong, nor any clue about how to effectively confront it. No wonder conservatives have conserved nothing, not even women's bathrooms.
Meanwhile the masses of traditional people keep listening to and voting for conservatives, then wonder why nothing ever changes as the wokusts keep implementing their agenda. If the masses really want change, they should vote for the so-called 'far right', but they've been groomed by wokusts to think the far right are all racist nazis who engage in 'hate speech'. Such false caricatures keep them voting for weak patsies whom the left can easily control. What a perfect setup for the wokusts... both traditional voters and conservative leaders are thus proven to be oblivious morons.
Well, the Left is right you know. America was founded by Whites for Whites, racists in other words. But they think this is a bad thing - as if people build nations for other peoples. Did the Chinese build up China for the Blacks? Or the Whites?
No, the original Americans built lives for themselves, it was individualism against collectivism. They built lives in the wilderness and then had the audacity to tell the King of England he and his army couldnтАЩt just take it away.
The aristocratic minded southerners were able to continue on for another half century, but the individualistic North eventually won again.
Now itтАЩs another battle. The Democrats are, as always, on the side of collectivism and the abolition of freedom. We must muster the strength to fight for freedom and liberty once again.
I think I linked to a video he didn't like, or something. But we had been dueling somewhat before that. I try to be gracious, but apparently not enough sometimes. Stuff happens. What are ya gonna do?
SWIM can tell you what YOU can do. Start smuggling some of that good stuff being held hostage in Bomb City and give it Iran. They know exactly what to do with it. Evidence immediately destroyed. And, you know, "plausible deniability."
10/01/24: At the risk of causing offense, I've have to say that I never discuss my "sources/references." The only thing that counts is results. As for infighting, I'll rate that as an unlikely ingredient.
One of your very best, James. Monday is definitely better because of you.
Seconded. That first paragraph, in particular, is an all-time great! Sad to think that I once voted for the idiot Kerry back when he opposed the Shrub and Darth Cheney. Oh well, live and learn, I guess.
TGIF, especially when JHK blogs.
Today's Monday not Friday. Worse living through acronyms.
Oh, my, Lugh not reading intent again. Barbara stating Mondays are better because of JHK, I just added Friday to that.
The road to hell is paved with good intent.
You two are too cute. ^u^

I view it as talk therapy, if nothing else. "Water cooler" talk, if you will. And that's not a bad thing either.
What did you write as Disaffected at Jim's homesite that ostensibly pissed him off, BTW? I missed it, it had been deleted apparently.
Asking for Zaz.
I think I linked to a video he didn't like, or something. But we had been dueling somewhat before that. I try to be gracious, but apparently not enough sometimes. Stuff happens. What are ya gonna do?
Got it. Thanks for the elaboration.
I got booted from here and still don't even know why. Neither does our host. Or so it is said.
SWIM can tell you what YOU can do. Start smuggling some of that good stuff being held hostage in Bomb City and give it Iran. They know exactly what to do with it. Evidence immediately destroyed. And, you know, "plausible deniability."
Respectfully, don't even joke about something like that. Nothing good can come from it.
SWIM isn't joking. There is one target and we all know what it is. Just pull the trigger and there ya go. Problem solved.
Please stop. This is not an appropriate line of commentary in a public forum. Nor a private one either, I'm sure.
09/30/24: The "October Surprise" will hit between October 7-11th, and it has H. Clinton and M. Garland dead-center in its sights.
Sources/references? And might it have to do with in-fighting?
I read some time ago that one knows when the end is nigh when the so-called 'elites' start in-fighting-- I mean, beyond the norm.
10/01/24: At the risk of causing offense, I've have to say that I never discuss my "sources/references." The only thing that counts is results. As for infighting, I'll rate that as an unlikely ingredient.
Agree. Still stunned that with Evil Google I actually have to type the word "substack" to get here.
Anyhow, your readers would enjoy my recent series on the concept of Suppression, the coordinated media and political-class refusal to admit that a story is a story. The most recent is "What Suppression Is Not," https://pomocon.substack.com/p/what-suppression-is-not but the most popular and important is "The Rationales of the Knowing Suppressors, Pt. I" https://pomocon.substack.com/p/what-suppression-is-not
agreed!
