Another country heard from. Pretty funny screed from a Kerodin "birther"?

An anonymous comment received (rather incongruously) in reaction to my earlier post entitled "The Lairds of Fairfax endorse another anti-firearm wolf in sheepdog's clothing."

Dear mikey: Once a commie, ALWAYS a commie. Your not even a natural born citizen your just a commie not a III and no patriot "friend" of mine....fake III asshole. Fuck you.

Well. I guess I'll have to bear that burden. Somehow I don't think this guy is a rabid NRA fan upset at me dissing them. Something else must be sticking in his craw. I've been getting a lot of these sorts of comments lately, but I must confess that this is the first one to accuse me of not being a "natural born citizen." Who knew Obama and I had anything in common? There is further comic irony in the characterization of me as a "fake III asshole," considering I'm the guy who popularized the concept to begin with. If I'm the originator, how can I be fake? Isn't that rather for me to decide? Now as for being an "asshole," I'll not take the time to argue the point since it seems to be an opinion held by certain folks such as Eric Holder, the Aryan Nations, Morris Dees and (unless things have changed without my knowing it) my ex-wife. In my defense, I would merely point out that the glue they normally use to plug up anal fistulas did not work on my esophogeal-gastric leak, so in the strict medical sense I am not, it would appear, an asshole..

Given the ad hominem nature of their complaints, most of this ilk of commentary seems to be coming from Kerodin, Nye and Co. and most gets deleted for being even fouler, more obscene and threatening than this. However, a friend of mine suggested that I share this one with y'all as an example of the intellectual level of my critics. "People ought to know what you put up with just to put out the blog," he said. Well, okay. Here it is. But I have to say, most of them give me a laugh so I don't want to discourage our "Anonymous." Send it on. Chances are that it won't get posted but it certainly tickles my sense of humor.

Anonymous said...: If there has been a recent uptick in those sorts of comments, it's likely the result of fanbois of another blogger. I recently saw something about how you are attacking his "friends" or something. There were even cartoons!; September 8, 2013 at 7:51 AM
Scott J said...: I never figured you were natural born. I just assumed you were found under a cabbage leaf :); September 8, 2013 at 9:32 AM
CB said...: Good job Mike.
When they throw lemons at you, make lemonade. The difference between them and you is that you know who you are, warts and all. (We all have warts, but some folks want to hide them.)
Besides, when the going gets tough for them, they do what the liberals do; they resort to foul mouth rage and say, "There. That will show him who's in command".

Hey guys, I will ask the question: If Mike Vanderboegh had not stayed on top of Fast and Furious, would we even know about it? And which one of you had the guts to write an open letter to Eric and call him by his first name?

Sean said...: Having actually spoken to you in person, twice, I'm convinced you're not an asshole. And that says something, because a friend is some one who likes you, even though they know you pretty well. While I don't know you that well, I think of you as a friend. Your persona comes through pretty clear on your blog, and I think you have more courage than a lot of younger, stronger, and quicker men. You've never tried to hide your past, warts and all, and as a Viet-Nam vet, I've come to respect you, and lot more than many of the so-called FreFor types. I pray for you daily, and I'll send a little something to you when I can. Keep plugging away, and let the nay-sayers fling away, I know you got the right stuff.; September 9, 2013 at 9:56 AM

"Progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress."

I believe that liberty is the only genuinely valuable thing that men have invented, at least in the field of government, in a thousand years. I believe that it is better to be free than to be not free, even when the former is dangerous and the latter safe. I believe that the finest qualities of man can flourish only in free air – that progress made under the shadow of the policeman's club is false progress, and of no permanent value. I believe that any man who takes the liberty of another into his keeping is bound to become a tyrant, and that any man who yields up his liberty, in however slight the measure, is bound to become a slave. -- H.L. Mencken

"The Fate of Unborn Millions. . ."

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die." -- George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

"We will not go gently . . ."

This is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it can't be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly won't be done. The Founders' Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.

But I tell you this: We will not go gently into that bloody collectivist good night. Indeed, we will make with our defiance such a sound as ALL history from that day forward will be forced to note, even if they despise us in the writing of it.

And when we are gone, the scattered, free survivors hiding in the ruins of our once-great republic will sing of our deeds in forbidden songs, tending the flickering flame of individual liberty until it bursts forth again, as it must, generations later. We will live forever, like the Spartans at Thermopylae, in sacred memory.

-- Mike Vanderboegh, The Lessons of Mumbai:Death Cults, the "Socialism of Imbeciles" and Refusing to Submit, 1 December 2008

"A common language of resistance . . ."

"Colonial rebellions throughout the modern world have been acts of shared political imagination. Unless unhappy people develop the capacity to trust other unhappy people, protest remains a local affair easily silenced by traditional authority. Usually, however, a moment arrives when large numbers of men and women realize for the first time that they enjoy the support of strangers, ordinary people much like themselves who happen to live in distant places and whom under normal circumstances they would never meet. It is an intoxicating discovery. A common language of resistance suddenly opens to those who are most vulnerable to painful retribution the possibility of creating a new community. As the conviction of solidarity grows, parochial issues and aspirations merge imperceptibly with a compelling national agenda which only a short time before may have been the dream of only a few. For many Americans colonists this moment occurred late in the spring of 1774." -- T.H. Breen, The Marketplace of Revolution: How Consumer Politics Shaped American Independence, Oxford University Press, 2004, p.1.
