Quote of the Day
I have another couple of problems with progressive America. It was your great idea that we were going to change all human behavior by changing dictionaries. How did that work out?
How is that doing? How is defund the police doing? How is communities of color doing?
How is non-gender pronouns doing? Let me tell you how it’s doing. It ain’t doing worth a f*ck.
You did irreparable damage to people that are trying to affect policies to help immeasurable numbers of people. Finally, I hope that come Tuesday, that we’ll finally be able to wash the stench of this assaninity off of our brand.
James Carville

It is rare that I agree with Carville. Perhaps it is the stopped clock story type of thing. But it would be more like he is right in one out of every 8,640 seconds.
Regardless of how infrequently his says something that is true, I found this nugget in a rabbling he released yesterday.
I struggled with how to describe what happened with the Democrats that Carville is ranting about. I chatted with Copilot, Claude, Grok, and Gemini about it. Gemini gave me the best summary:
The movement didn’t fail because it was “too ambitious” (a bridge too far); it failed because it replaced broad-based, coalition-building reform with insular, ideological purity tests. By prioritizing academic theories over the daily concerns of ordinary working people, it committed the ultimate political error: it lost touch with common sense.
Will Carville get his wish on election day, and Democrats finally learn the appropriate lesson? The mainstream media seems to think the Democrats will do well in the election. But I think I am hearing a slight change in tone as we get closer to the big day. I don’t think they are as confident as they were a month ago.
Reading too much into one election, no matter how it turns out. Totalitarian leftism has never gone away since its debut in the French Revolution. What has mostly gone away is robust conservatism. There are some green shoots in MAGA, AfD, Restore but sustaining momentum against the combined forces of the Left and the Establishment Right is most difficult.
The Mouth From The South…just another leftist prick has been desperately seeking relevance…
He’s right about *tactics*, not any of the actual issues.
“This stuff doesn’t sell well to the public and gets in the way of us holding power” is that he is right about. It did damage to “the brand”. That’s his only objection.
So yeah, he’s “right”, but not about anything substantive. It’s like pointing out that the serial killer who successfully avoided the police was “correct” in his use of tactics to escape. It is not redeeming in any way.
That level of “right” happens decently often from Carville.
Again and again, I must point out that one cannot declare a program either a success or a failure without first having established it purpose.
All leftist revolutions operate by demoralizing and destabilizing their target populations. They introduce poisonous ideas and irritations as a way of nudging the thinking of the people, over time, into such a state that they’ll no longer fight for the principles, culture, security, or prosperity of their nation. The people forget who they are, and instead end up in a distracting game of pleasure, blame, shock, anger, worry, and resentment.
Toward that end, I can confidently say that the Progressive operations of the last dozen years or so, as carried out by Democrats, Republicans, and world powers, have been quite successful!
Do not be so fixated upon the details and compelling drama of the game that you fail to recognize that you’re in an arena designed and operated by the enemy!
Such is the power of the Dialectic Method.
The mission that’s been driving most of the drama, intrigue, and trauma of the last five hundred years has been the utter, complete, and brutal eradication of every scrap of victory gained as a result of the Protestant Reformation, and that mission is now very nearly complete. The “deadly wound” is now almost totally healed. Today’s so-called “Protestants” could not tell you, nor do they any longer have the slightest inkling, what the protest was about. Start quoting Martin Luther to any Lutheran today, for example, and you’ll only enrage him. He’ll hate you. Thus the (formerly) Protestant world has become the “false prophet”.
Now the pushback against all of the “Woke” BS, the socialism, mass immigration, cultural rot, gender confusion, race-baiting, and all the rest, will end up being a call for “sanity” and a call for “Christianity” coming from the civil powers. But what most people will end up welcoming instead, because it’s already been set up for us as the “solution”, is a global, authoritarian system of church, state, and economy that will be the very image of the system of the Dark Ages. Babylon. Antichrist. The beast, with the whore (the Roman Church) riding the beast.
True fascism at its finest. But this time with high tech. Any complaints that it’s being too harsh will be met with the declaration that it’s better than the chaos we had (which they caused!), so shut up and be thankful, or else! Ordo ab Chao: now you know what it means.
Welcome to the Book of The Revelation of Jesus Christ. You know, it’s the last book of the Bible, which, being lied to, you’ve been told cannot be understood. You’re living in it, in every detail!
I agree the Democrats and to certain extent the Republicans had a lot of people demoralized a few years ago. They had lost touch with reality and appeared to be headed for a touchdown in the full-on insanity endzone. But they got voted out. And look at how fast things are changing in the legal landscape for gun owners. Many of those changes are likely going to stick around for decades if not longer.
Your view that a Protestant future is the only worthwhile future is not accurate. I will grant you that Protestants made some valuable contributions but they certain have had their faults. For examples I suggest you look at the pre-civil war Protestants who claimed the Bible supported slavery or the Protestants responsible for the Salem Witchcraft Trials.
“Welcome to the Book of The Revelation of Jesus Christ. You know, it’s the last book of the Bible, which, being lied to, you’ve been told cannot be understood. You’re living in it, in every detail!”
The problem with your claim is that it has been made many times before. Often just as well.
“No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.”
When is it “the last days”? We *will not know*.
“I hope that come Tuesday, that we’ll finally be able to wash the stench of this assaninity off of our brand”
My spidey-sense tickled at this. Is Carville privy to Donkey internal polling?
