It's Impossible to Exaggerate the Evil Qualities of Your Enemies
"No, no, no! It's impossible to exaggerate the formidable qualities of the Jew as an
enemy." - Adolf Hitler It didn't surprise me at all that Trump's enemies refer to him as a fascist and Nazi and
racist and sexist - and an evil monster who is going to st...

A Cartoonist and an Unknown Blogger "Thus imperceptivly the man of words undermines established institutions, discredits
those in power, weakens prevailing beliefs and loyalties, and sets the stage for the rise of a

Words Are the Most Powerful Drug Known
Rudyard Kipling said that. And he would have known (I still have a paperback copy of his The Mark of the Beast and Other Stories - which I'd had since I was
12). He knew of which he wrote. I also have a copy of Mein Kampf , which I was never able to finish...

I Wonder If Trump Has His Own Intelligence Service And Files On People
"He has cast down the mighty from their thrones, and has lifted up up the lowly. He has filled
the hungry with good things, and the rich he has sent away empty!" - Luke 1:52-53 I certainly would. Apparently J.Edgar Hoover did, which is why no one could rem...

Horror and Politics
I've had an interest in horror fiction probably since about 12, when I read The
Hobbit and encountered Gollum. Probably even before that, if
you count the folk tales my parents read me as a little kid (folk tales - misnamed "fairy tales -
are almost all ...

On Carrie Fisher
I never liked Carrie Fisher as an actress. I thought Princess Leia wasn't funny and was abrasive and
unfeminine. And there wasn't any chemistry at all between her and Harrison Ford. But in real life Carrie was very witty and smart - and I've always been at...

The Intellectual Virtues are More Important than the Moral Virtues
The church fathers, such as Thomas Aquinas, put the intellectual virtues above the moral
virtues - including chastity (which is not the same thing as celibacy). These were smart men and
they had a lot of experience with human nature (which is
why Donald ...
