Attacks by Zombies and Democrats (but I repeat myself).

Geoff Montgomery (Richard Carlson): It's worse than horrible because a zombie has no will of his own. You see them sometimes walking around blindly with dead eyes, following orders, not knowing what they do, not caring.

Larry Lawrence (Bob Hope): You mean like Democrats?

-- The Ghost Breakers, 1940.

My table at the gun show was next to an end cap display of a tee-shirt company called The Passionate Patriot of Fort Walton Beach FL. This headline, The Walking Dead’ Draws Record 16.1 Million Viewers, reminds me of a tee shirt suggestion I made.

Democrats = Zombies

They are nothing but walking appetites for other people's lives.

They kill unthinkingly and are not bothered by the carnage.

They hate people with firearms.

I'm sure that you, gentle readers, can do better. But there certainly may be something to the theory that, just as the alien invader movie craze of the Fifties was an allegory for Communist infiltration and subversion, the current popularity of zombie shows speaks to the renewed fear of collectivism versus the individual.

bondmen said...: I didn't realize until reading your comment "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" underlying these is really about Communist infiltration! It makes sense and fits perfectly.

And here are some anti-collectivist, anti-National Socialist items discounted which are sure to upset a few authoritarians still possessing a brain stem. http://patriotdepot.com/last-chance-closeout/; October 15, 2013 at 8:33 AM

xtron said...: conservative= citizen exersizing free will

democrat= subject complying with mandates and orders from overloards; October 15, 2013 at 6:28 PM
Paul X said...: I don't buy that any more. Bootlickers come in all varieties.

However it is pointless to argue about it. The "left-right" spectrum is just a device created by the ruling class to divide (and conquer) the people. The only real question is whether a given individual is willing to leave you alone to run your own life. The labels are irrelevant.

"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.

"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.
