WHY SO SERIOUS?




TO ANY OF YOU OUT THERE WHO WOULD LIKE US TO AGREE WITH YOU ON ANY GIVEN ISSUE, 

LIKE SAY THAT WHOLE ETHNIC-NATIONALIST/CRYPTO-NAZI/ROBERT-SPENCER/CHARLES-JOHNSON THING-A-MAJIG ... 

IT AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN. 

HELL, WE DON'T EVEN AGREE WITH OURSELVES HALF THE TIME. 

WE'RE OUT OF OUR FUCKING MINDS.

IBA DIDN'T GET WHERE IT IS BY BEING NICE OR EVEN COHERENT. SO, WE AREN'T GONNA START NOW. 

YOU ALL CAN ALL EAT MY ASS, IF YOU THINK WE'RE GOING TO AGREE WITH ANY OF YOU FOR FUN AND PROFIT. 

BY THE WAY, THE OTHER DAY I WAS WALKING DOWN THE STREET THIKING ABOUT THE SCHISM IN THE BLOGOSPHERE, AND I, UH, ... 

NO WAIT. THAT WASN'T ME.

Pastorius,

You wrote this, why?

midnight rider said...

Something vexes thee?

Pastorius said...

I love it when people agree with me when I set out to prove that I'm a completely maniacal asshole.

;-)

I must have been successful.

Pastorius said...

Midnight Rider,
Yeah, you could say that.

midnight rider said...

Who called you maniacal!?!? Why I'll. . .

Pastorius said...

I'm just putting some people on notice that they can not count on my support.

I ham what I ham.

Pastorius said...

Why, some people might even call us Unhinged Lunatics.

BabbaZee said...

some might say that yes

Well, it should be well enough noticed for what you can be counted upon. As in what you can be counted upon to support or denigrate. I think I'm one of the people that disagree with you, though not without taking due notice of your objections. Be true to your convictions. Somewhere between us the common enemy shall be grist.

Pastorius said...

Macusgermanis,
That's ok with me that you disagree with me. And, you probably were well aware that it's ok to disagree with me. You are an intelligent guy, and I respect your opinion.

Anyone who has spent any time at IBA has probably noticed I get mad at three types of people,

1) Racists/anti-Semites
2) dhimmis
3) people who repeatedly try to get me to do what they want me to do

In this case, I am unhappy about someone who has done the third thing.

And, as you point out, the real issue is who is our enemy, and that would be the Jihadis.

All of us are clear about that. So, we should work from common ground.

midnight rider said...

Some of my best friends are unhinged lunatics. 'course, they're not allowed sharp objects or things that go boom. And might be why I can't get a better job. At least we'll always have beer!

Pastorius said...

Mmm, Beer.

A toast to all the Unhinged Lunatics out there.

midnight rider said...

Cheers! & when beer fails I find it comforting to have my dear Old Grandad tuck me in. Actually, even if beer doesn't fail I have my dear Old Grandad tuck me in. I love my dear Old Grandad. He's such a Wild Turkey. He helps in the unhinging process ;>)

Pastorius said...

I understand.

;-)

midnight rider said...

IBA & Unhinged Lunatics forever! Boilermakers just a wee bit longer! o:late 30 here. Goodnight, Mrs Calabash, whoever you are!

"Somewhere between us the common enemy shall be grist."

I like that.

Yer not completely maniacal, Pasto. There's still parts missin'!

We are the Looooonatics we have been looking for!

Epaminondas said...

Sometimes it's needful to say something and sometimes it's not.

Sometimes it's all so stupid I want to just look at the archives of infidel babes.

Reasonable people can disagree.
WITHOUT VILIFYING EACH OTHER

I assume pasto you have been getting some stupid hate mail, or 'why aren't we saying something' mail.

We are engaged in a fringe effort right now, pushed WAY WAY back by economic issues the size of the glacier that moved across Canada towards the Great Lakes

So let's just get our heads on straight.

No one is going to worry about counter jihad if they are struggling to pay the electric bill.

How much less important is the argument among counter jihadis?

UGH !

If Chucky Schumer gets his way, there won't even be a blog here unless we have CAIR creating a rebuttal for each post.

Pastorius said...

Epa,

I've been getting some "why didn't you say something" mail. Oh yes, and also, some "why did you say this other thing" mail too.

Pastorius said...

RRA,

I'm working on it. If I can keep trying, one day I can be all loon.

Epaminondas said...

Pasto,
Yah, me too.
Sick of it all.

I agree with somethings on one side and not others.
And vice versa.

AFAIAC ... that's THEIR inconsistencies, not ours.
But around here nobody gets' banned, and everyone can spew.

That's the beauty.
If others can't take a joke...F#$%'em

BabbaZee said...

I have been sick of it for a year
Which is why I really dont "answer" very often when people go all hatey babba for threads on end

Also I dont read the hate mail I am serious

I read the first couple words and delete it

Fuck you, I didnt even read it.

Nyah Nyah

LOL

Pastorius said...

Epa,
Here's the way I see it,

Too many of these people in the blogosphere think their word is the absolute be-all/end-all.

They're right all the friggin time, as far as they're concerned.

I look at history and recognize that sincere and seemingly decent people can make very poor decisions. Having been so informed by history, I recognize that some of my choices might not be the right ones.

Greater men than me have made grave mistakes.

Thus, I do not believe that all my choices are absolutely right.

However, I refuse to be paralyzed from making choices because of the record of history. I will continue to make my choices and express my opinions boldly.

One might notice, when coming to this blog, that there is a certain joke factor. The jokes we make, the look of the blog, the attitude, etc. are all there for two reasons,

1) so we can all have a good time while we're dealing with this very serious subject

and

2) so everyone can be put on notice that we are - and know that we are - buffoons , the brunt of the joke that is the unfolding of history.

The other bloggers might want to take note. Not only should they take note that we don't take ourselves too seriously, but also that, perhaps, they should not either.

For instance, this Vlaams Belang thing. If history unfolds in such a way that those who chose to back VB are proven to have backed a truly fascist organization, and if they approached the subject with no humility, but instead proceeded as if their choices were all absolutely correct, then things won't look very good for them.

"Boy, I went to my grave defending that Filip DeWinter guy, and after he gained power, he did just what the others warned me he would do, and went after all the blacks and Jews as well as the Muslims."

"I guess Diana West and Baron Bodissey weren't right, after all."

Or vice versa, if it turns out that Filip DeWinter really is a reformed racist, well then, the joke is on us, isn't it?

But, the thing is, at least we were in on the joke from the beginning, which is more than I can say for some people out there who are actively driving absolute wedges through the blogosphere.

Fuck 'em if they can't take a joke. Because the joke is being told even as we speak.

YUP

Outside of the blogosphere too

BUT

the relative anonymity and SAFETY of the Blog - you are behind your keyboard and no one is in ACTUALLY in your face brings out the worst attributes in many people

The I ME MINERY

Pastorius said...

Babba Zee,
Some of this mail, which i would not classify as "hate mail" is coming from serious people who, apparenty, would like me on their side.

I don't owe anyone my allegiance to their side.

If my relationship with them is dependent on my allegiance to them on anyone issue, then we have a problem.

Here's something some of these people might want to keep in mind, if you are holding something that looks like it might be a bomb, and I'm saying, "You know, I think it's a bomb," and Diana West is saying, "No, I've seen these before, and I can tell, this one is NOT a bomb,"

and then it explodes.

See the consequences are very large in this case.

So, when I discuss the issue, I'm not going to discuss it by saying mealy-mouthed stuff like, "I think it might be something that could be, possibly, dangerous, in a mildly incendiary way, if it were, so to speak, uh, detonated, or shall we say, set in motion, I am not sure ..."

No, I think sometimes I'll just exercise my own freedom of conscience and say, "I think it might be a fucking bomb."

Got it?

and, of course, Diana West is actively involved in telling us it's not a bomb.

Well, good for her.

I hear a clown laughing somewhere down the hall. Do you guys hear that, or is that just me?

BabbaZee said...

I hear it

and believe me

I understand

Pastorius said...

If we were disagreeing over who's better, the Lakers or the Celtics, it wouldn't be a big deal. But in this case, we are disagreeing over whether or not something is a bomb.

If I say I think it's a bomb, and another blogger gets angry with me, then they are being unfair to me, not me to them.

If they say they think it's not a bomb, and I get angry with them, then I'm being unfair to them.

However, if they say, It's not a bomb, I know it, and if you don't agree with me that it's not a bomb, then you are a jerk, then

they are being an idiot.
