Sipsey Street Irregulars: Once again, a posting policy re-reiteration.

Once again, a posting policy re-reiteration.

Apparently I have to put in caps something I've said before several times:

STOP WASTING MY TIME AND YOURS POSTING LINKS TO SITES THAT A., ARE NOT REMOTELY RELEVANT OR RELATED TO THE POST OR B., DON'T DESCRIBE IN FULL WHAT THEY ARE (BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE TIME TO GO TO THEM TO CHECK THEM OUT) OR C., COME FROM ANONYMOUS POSTERS. IF THEY RUN AFOUL OF ANY OF THOSE NO-NOS, THEY WILL NOT BE POSTED. PERIOD. SERIOUSLY, PEOPLE, JUST DELETING THEM IS A SERIOUS WASTE OF TIME ON ALL OUR PARTS.

I have said before to all of you living in The Free States of America; don't think for one minute what happens behind enemy lines here in Kommiecticut won't someday end up being proposed nationally. This is another shining example. After Sandy Hook, the anti-gun zealots stated (in their own words on video) that this was only the beginning. They want civilian gun ownership abolished, and LEO/Military access to firearms severely limited.; June 12, 2015 at 5:40 PM

Anonymous said...: Respectfully disagree, Dutchman6!

To paraphrase Plucky Duck, "No! Stop! Not my turn to write the blog! Your turn to write the blog! Not my turn to screen the comments! Your turn to screen the comments!"

If I see an article that I think you need to see, I'm gonna post the link in a comment. Period. Because it's the quickest most convenient way for me to get it to your eyes and potentially the eyes of the other SSI readers at my disposal. If you want to dump it, that's your decision. Your blog, your rules. If screening comments is becoming too much of a time eater, and I can see where it could, bring in a screener.; June 13, 2015 at 9:59 AM
Dutchman6 said...: Then they will keep getting deleted. Period. If you want to get me to look at something, send it in an email. There is no difference to you in time, there is plenty difference to me. And advice to "get a screener" is worse than useless. You think that hasn't occurred to me? But with that position comes keys to the kingdom -- passwords, access, trust that their judgment is as informed as mine and reflects my own intentions. People who meet that standard can be counted on one hand and they are all busy as hell themselves. It's like people who tell me, "you should do this," or, "you should do that," without volunteering to make it happen or contributing anything to their bright idea. I may wish in one hand and shit in the other but my Grandpa Vanderboegh long ago told me which fills up first. Again, if you want to send a link, send it email where I can at least see who it's coming from. Otherwise, it's deleted. Period. And all you're doing otherwise is adding to my workload. Thanks for all the help.; June 13, 2015 at 10:36 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.

"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.
