ON YOUR MARK, GET SET, GROVEL!!

Since I started discussing how respectable conservatives are professional grovelers, it is amazing how many people have begun coming up with examples. Once you become aware of this phenomenon, you begin to see examples of it every day.

Actually, the situation is even worse. It is not just conservatives crawling and apologizing to liberals. It is also conservatives doing the old tummy-up before their moderate masters in the Republican Party.

Many years ago, a friend of mine observed that "Every four years, conservatives go to the Republican Convention. Every four years they get kicked in the teeth and come up smiling."

In his very first speech as president in 1989, Bush Senior denounced Reagan. Bush Senior promised a "kinder, gentler America" than that evil old tyrant had produced.

At the very beginning of the Bush Administration in 1989, the Bush people fired all the Reagan appointees in every agency of government. I remember that in February of 1989, one Bush agency head bragged that he had been the first to clear out all the Reagan people. At the 1992 Convention, after Reagan and Buchanan spoke, one Bush leader said, "That's a relief. We've finished with the damned conservatives!"

Now Bush Junior has blasted conservatives. He denounced social conservatives and he denounced congressional conservatism. Only the truly retarded were surprised.

Of course Bush Junior denounced conservatives. That is what Republican moderates always do. The next day, he sort of backpedaled and explained his remarks. But even as he did so, one of his staffers explained why Bush was following his denunciation of conservatives with a little sweet talk. "After you hit a dog," said the Bush spokesman, "You pet it." Once again, this is what Republican moderates always do.

The dog has been whipped, and now the master has petted him. As far as the eye can see, conservative tails are wagging. Of course, they fussed a little. Conservatives always fuss a little when they get kicked in the teeth again. Nobody cares, and for good reason. They're already telling each other that it's not really that bad and Bush is OK.

Bush, Dole, Ford -- Republican moderates were all losers in the general elections. Moderates are losers, and they are an infinitesimal part of the Republican Party. But they always get the nomination, and conservatives always take their kicks and come up smiling.

So there is a kicking order, exactly like the pecking order among chickens. The liberals are at the top. Conservatives are at the bottom. Moderates are in the middle. The whole point of being a moderate is that you give liberals half of what they want. For a moderate, liberals are always the ones who set the agenda. Moderates then compromise with each new liberal proposal, giving them part of anything they demand. When liberals say jump, moderates reply, "Yes, master, but does it have to be so high?"

Moderates are the liberals' crawlers and obeyers. Conservatives are THEIR crawlers and obeyers.

What a despicable, pathetic crowd respectable conservatives are!

ANOTHER EUROPEAN GOVERNMENT KIDNAPS A FOREIGN RIGHTIST

An 87-year-old British woman who spied for Stalin says she would do it again. She will never be prosecuted. She is a media heroine in Britain.

General Pinochet was the Chilean ruler who overthrew Communist rule in his country. He is now being extradited from Britain to Spain. A British court has ruled that the 83-year-old Pinochet must be sent to Spain for trial. He is to be tried there for actions that occurred under his rule IN CHILE.

Unlike Stalin, Pinochet ended his rule by turning Chile over to an elected government. Unlike Stalin, Pinochet had no agents trying to subvert the governments of other countries around the world. None of that matters. All that matters is that Pinochet was a rightist, and the old lady who spied for Stalin in Britain was a leftist. No former Communist has ever been tried for what happened under their regime. No Leftist will ever be tried for this sort of thing (See December 5, 1998, article, "Only the Right Can Incite").

Margaret Thatcher denounced Pinochet's extradition as a "judicial kidnapping… which would do credit to a police state."

Some years ago, an American who put Nazi propaganda on the Internet FROM HIS HOME IN THE UNITED STATES was seized in Denmark and sent to Germany for trial. German law prohibits Americans from putting pro-Nazi propaganda on the Internet in America, since it can be read in Germany. So this American is in prison there for four years.

American publications, of course, backed this kidnapping of an American. You see, they said, this guy was "hiding behind the first amendment" in the United States. Those were the words they all used.

Interesting. None of these publications ever says that repeat felons are "hiding behind the Bill of Rights" when they are let off. In those cases, the criminals are just "exercising their civil rights."

In the 1950s, witness after witness went before the House Committee on UnAmerican activities and refused to answer the question, "Are you, or have you ever been, a member of the Communist Party?" They claimed their right to refuse to testify against themselves under the Fifth Amendment. No one in the liberal media said they were "hiding behind" the Fifth Amendment.

Documents found in KGB files now make it clear that Soviet penetration into the highest levels of the United States Government existed at a level liberals denied hotly until very, very recently. But they would be the first to insist that this did not justify taking constitutional protection away from American citizens.

Liberals insist that the protections of the United States Constitution should not be denied to Americans even to protect real United States security interests. But they are all for allowing foreign countries to kidnap an American to protect Germany. It is necessary to protect Germany from a revival of the Third Reich, a revival which will be caused by the propaganda of one American.

And that is the least of it. Would we praise an action that takes a leftist American away from the protection of the United States Constitution and kidnaps them into countries where those protections do not exist?

What do you think liberals would have said if one of those Americans suspected of being Communists had been extradited to Spain or South Africa, where they could not claim the protection of the Fifth Amendment? Would liberals have approved of that?

Liberals would have gone ballistic. So would respectable conservatives.

Every respectable conservative publication in America either backed this kidnapping of an American or stayed silent.

Conservatives were too cowardly to say anything when the American Nazi was kidnapped. But even some of these cowardly morons are beginning to see a pattern developing with the seizure of Pinochet.

Obviously, what happened to Pinochet is entirely a result of the fact that he was an anti-Communist, while those who helped Stalin are heroic. Many conservatives are upset about Pinochet. Now they are feeling a little bit threatened. The threat is beginning to dawn even on these cowardly numbskulls.

I keep sounding this warning: anything that can be done to anyone by the left not only CAN be done to you, it WILL be done to you (See September 11, 1999 article, "Waco: Conservative Cowardice and Stupidity Helped It Happen").
