New Flavor Milkshake: “Liberal Tears”

by Vanderleun on June 30, 2018

Who says there’s no good news?

Yes, I know it’s not civil and not nice to express these “feelings, nothing more than feelings,” but these days I just can’t help myself.

A wise man once opined, “Schadenfreude is a base and ugly emotion, and one can’t help wondering what Thomas Aquinas, for example, would have made of it.”

Talk about your guilty pleasures.

A reader of National Review once commented that the concept of Schadenfreude was a particularly Germanic phenomenon, and asked William F. Buckley whether there was a comparable phrase/philosophy in French.

Buckley’s reply was, “Joie de vivre.”

Those are good, but nothing can compare to those compilations of the libs the night HRC lost, and nothing probably ever will. I still bring one or another up and watch it every now and then.

One can still get a Chocolate malted at Michael’s Dairy Ocean Ave, New London, Ct. Yes the ice cream is made on site. None. Better. And I make my own ice cream. Unfortunately we’re awash in libprogs. My change up malted is a Banana shake with a real Banana blended in. Makes me feel like I’m 8 yrs. old again.

Day Lewis was brilliant in that movie, as he tended to be. The milkshake in question had bourbon in it, so there is that.

Only by Fire is Fascism Finished

Year upon year in Earth’s darker forests,
Heaped at the foot of the trees,
Dry drifts of wood rot and leaf fall increase
Which sunlight shall never seize.

The vampire by sunlight or stake.
The wolfman by silver in bone.
The demon by bell, book, and pentagram.
The fascist by fire alone.

The ash that descends in the September skies
Where the leapers swam down the stones?
Best answered by bombs from mid-heaven at prayer
With that fire which hollows the bones.

The vampire by sunlight or stake.
The wolfman by silver in bone.
The demon by bell, book, and pentagram.
The fascist by fire alone.

If their god decrees war, God’s war shall prevail.
His lessons are seared in His stone.
No dreams shall defer, nor wishes erase,
The answers that burn in the bone.

The vampire by sunlight or stake.
The wolfman by silver in bone.
The demon by bell, book, and pentagram.
The fascist by fire alone.

Only by Fire is Fascism Finished.
This Sin is demanded that Your Line may Live.
Only through Fire is Freedom Reborn.
Each generation pulls the Sword from the Stone.

Van der Leun: The Normblog Bio of Your Host“From a student radical/hippie/leftist of the Free Speech Movement/Vietnam Day Commitee era and a full-on Democratic Liberal in the decades after, I think I’ve evolved a politics that is neither right nor left but is, in its elemental nature, draconian. In the last 20 years, I’ve taken apart my beliefs with a sledgehammer. Now I’ve got to put the surviving parts back together with tweezers and other ‘shabby equipment, always deteriorating’.”
