- Thorfinnsson replied to Macon Richardson on Herding Hamsters and Other Cosmic ReflectionsWould you prefer "Animal Assad" (not bad honestly if inaccurate) or "Gas Killing Animal"? I'm quite pleased with myself for the Assman coinage.
- REX DICKERSON commented on In Search of Intelligent Latin PolicyMan. Once again, Fred subjects us to his incessant rant about ze poor Mexicans and the Alt right. BUILD THE WALL. KEEP FRED OUT!
- Pat Kittle replied to Steve Gittelson on Herding Hamsters and Other Cosmic ReflectionsThanks, I'm familiar with Jim Goad from TakiMag (which banned me years ago). Recently (as you likely know) all commenters (& all their previous comments) are banned from TakiMag -- allegedly because some criticized Jews: -- [ http://takimag.com/article/gag_reflex#axzz5D9nCpS6k ]. A fa...
- Simply Simon replied to Jesse James on Herding Hamsters and Other Cosmic ReflectionsJJ, I understand your anger, but I would be happy if just the major perps would be convicted. Sunday the Austin American-Statesman ran a comprehensive story commemorating the entire incident as it unfolded. Basically it was your Federal government at its worst. Yesterday the same paper ran an...
- Steve Gittelson replied to Pat Kittle on Herding Hamsters and Other Cosmic ReflectionsGoad is a vassal of TakiMag. Cutting and pasting from one webzine to another is considered gauche, if not outright illegal for various and sundry copyright reasons. Unz is an okay guy, and reasonably restrained with regard to the multitude of crazies who use his comment-sections for, sometime...
- Patricus replied to Diversity Heretic on In Search of Intelligent Latin PolicyYes Fred. I am not aware of anyone who has advocated the removal of Latins who are American citizens. Where do you find this alt right information? Discouraging illegal immigration is not racist. It is common sense until such time that nation states go away. We are losing 50,000 per year t...
- Pat Kittle replied to Steve Gittelson on Herding Hamsters and Other Cosmic ReflectionsWhy do you "suspect Goad is verboten on UR"?
- Steve Gittelson commented on Herding Hamsters and Other Cosmic ReflectionsJust a bit more real truth from PCR. Carry on ... All of America, indeed of the entire West, lives in The Matrix, a concocted [and false] reality. Western peoples are so propagandized, so brainwashed, that they have no understanding that their disunity was created in order to make them impo...
- dearieme replied to Anon on Herding Hamsters and Other Cosmic Reflections"the British seem to have used it in Iraq": they didn't apparently. After WWI Churchill wanted Iraqi villages bombed with tear gas but it wasn't actually done. (This knowledge came from the internet and therefore is even more open to correction than usual.) In its way it would have been quite...
- Rhett Hardwick replied to Anon on Herding Hamsters and Other Cosmic ReflectionsGas Masks, standard issue in many wars. We used to buy them at "war surplus" stores when I was akid.
- Macon Richardson replied to Thorfinnsson on Herding Hamsters and Other Cosmic ReflectionsThe "Assman"? Do we really need such cutsie nicknames in order to discuss matters of merit and importance?
- Steve Gittelson commented on Herding Hamsters and Other Cosmic ReflectionsPCR's latest is really good. I love it when he gets to ripping, and doesn't stop for 2000+ words or so. It reads a lot better than Toynbee, fersher. The working class, designated by Hillary Clinton as “the Trump deplorables,” is now the victimizer, not the victim. Marxism has been stood on i...
- Achmed E. Newman replied to Rurik on Herding Hamsters and Other Cosmic ReflectionsAGREED (nothing more to say)
- Rurik replied to Steve Gittelson on Herding Hamsters and Other Cosmic ReflectionsYea, gotta give Goober his due, sometimes rural folk are resourceful http://www.dumpaday.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/funny-redneck-doorbell.jpg
- Anon replied to Jesse James on Herding Hamsters and Other Cosmic Reflections(different anon) Seems pretty reasonable.
- Steve Gittelson commented on Herding Hamsters and Other Cosmic ReflectionsFred likes to fulminate over all things Trump (and us Deplorables – calling us ‘gas station loutsWho among us does not secretly wish to be a Mayberry Goober? Pumping gas, tuning carbs, changing tires, washing windshields? Drinking beer and playing poker after 5PM, and looking down the blouse...
- Rurik replied to Steve Gittelson on Herding Hamsters and Other Cosmic Reflectionsit’s a wonder there’s anything left of this country at all. spiritually, there isn't just as morally, the ZUSA is a dead husk. This country has absolutely zero credibility or standing in the world anymore. All they've got is a military they can use to menace and bully the rest of the plan...
- Anon replied to The Anti-Gnostic on Herding Hamsters and Other Cosmic Reflections(different anon) not because a megalomaniac like Hitler thought my gracious, chemical warfare is just too cruel to inflict on my enemiesIt was and is widely thought to be unethical, probably because it is like a poison. It was quite effective in limited scenarios, which is why it was used in W...
- The Anti-Gnostic replied to Anon on Herding Hamsters and Other Cosmic ReflectionsYou can move uphill or upwind or outflank gas in a lot of situations. As Fred notes, it's not too effective which is why Hitler didn't use it, not because a megalomaniac like Hitler thought my gracious, chemical warfare is just too cruel to inflict on my enemies. Napalm and flamethrowers are way ...
- Jesse James replied to Anon on Herding Hamsters and Other Cosmic ReflectionsCS gas such as was used at Waco, TX by the FBI and US Army killed 88 Americans on 4-19-93. Trump needs to send 103 cruise missiles against US the bases involved in those murders of unarmed civilians: Ft. Hood, TX; Anniston, AL; Washington., DC and San Antonio, TX.
- Teeny Duck commented on Herding Hamsters and Other Cosmic ReflectionsFred is right. If you doubt him then Read the "Personal Memoirs of Ulysses S. Grant."
- Steve Gittelson replied to Rurik on Herding Hamsters and Other Cosmic ReflectionsYeah. Sociopath. Gives me the shivers. Bill is the same, but conceals it better. I mean, WTF, the guy had state troopers bringing him any pussy he spotted on his lunch break. Jesus, the rejects this country brings to the White House ... it's a wonder there's anything left of this country at all.
- Steve Gittelson replied to Gregorio on Herding Hamsters and Other Cosmic ReflectionsVonnegut was an honorable man, and good writer. Salinger was a hack.
- pyrrhus replied to another fred on Herding Hamsters and Other Cosmic ReflectionsIndeed, the people want it very much...But the elites depend on the loot provided by enormous military budgets, and sanctions they can work around....Historically, empires are rarely allowed to shrink until the home country is completely bankrupt.
- Steve Gittelson replied to seeing-thru on Herding Hamsters and Other Cosmic ReflectionsStringing these bastards upside down from meat hooks in public squares may be too ordinary a ministration, so better and brighter ideas need to be supplied by minds keener than mine.Oh, I don't have any, er, revolutionary ideas as to what to do with those who are pleasured to call themselves "jou...
