I Hear Those Jackboots Marchin'

The forces of Anti-Libertarianism strike again on Erik's Rants and Recipes. According to Ann, the talented web-tech-design person behind the scenes here, we now have Blacklist. Many thanks to Ann!

I will dedicate this Blacklist to the Cause of Perpetually Stamping Out the Good Reputation of Paul Robeson (pheh! pew! yuck!). Of all cultural figures, the most repulsive has to be Paul Robeson (pheh! pew! yuck!). He was educated at the finest schools, had a college sports career, a law career, a music career, and a film career, made a ton of money, yet embraced Stalinism, even to the point of betraying a friend to death. He made a ton of money singing "Negro Spirituals" all the while denouncing religion. He was a traitor to every party that he owed allegiance. In blacklisting his good name for eternity, let's take a moment to pray that he repented, because otherwise a man of his depravity would undoubtedly be eternally farted out of Lucifer's least part.

While speaking of blacklisting I always think of Satan's little club, those turds at the American Civil Liberties Union, and that makes me think of my dislike of civil libertarianism in general. I read on a blog or somewhere that the government is monitoring blogs. The linked article had the usual pissers and moaners crying "domestic spying!"

It sounds like these folks are in need of a castor oil cocktail. Blogging is publishing, and it is publishing in a particularly accessible form. We charge no money (although some ask for contributions to help keep the blogging a higher priority than it would otherwise be (as a person who makes his living from writing, I certainly understand Mark's position)) and, in fact, try to encourage as many people as possible to come to read our blogs. To have any expectation of privacy is daft. I suppose these ACLU numbskulls would have the FBI shunning the newspapers as well.

So, in the spirit of blacklists and in the memory of my hero, Sen. Joseph McCarthy of happy memory, let it be known that June 1, 2004 is the last date that I will accept as innocent when the Keilholtz Dictatorship seizes the membership lists of the ACLU. You have been warned. Any name found in active status from that point on, will be viewed as guilty of violating the law, even though it may take another 20 years to establish the Keilholtz Dictatorship.

Furthermore, while ACLU members are still invited to the San Fermin festa, they will be required to ply the Duce with jugs of cheap red wine to assuage his wrath. The only person who is automatically uninvited is Paul Robeson himself (dead Commies are not usually the life of the party, you know). Even his good for nothing son can come, provided he pays the proper tribute.
