Just saw something over at Ace that reminds me that people must be stubborn, or just plain mentally lazy, or they are not what they seem to be.
Ace referred to himself as "right". Well, for the record, yours truly is not on "the right". The term "right" is in reference to the dialectic that I mentioned just the other day. If you are going to use a dialectic, don't use that one. That dialectic is the one that the commies like to use. Therefore, if commies use it, I won't use it.
Instead, I'll use the one that Reagan set forth in the speech that launched his career. That dialectic, which he didn't name as a dialectic, is one about freedom v. tyranny, as opposed to the one about left v. right. I'll rename it as freedom v. SLAVERY.
SLAVES ARE NOT FREE. Leftist regimes ARE NOT FREE. If we set the argument up as FREEDOM VERSUS SLAVERY, then the only ones favoring SLAVERY are the leftists themselves. Those on the side of FREEDOM cannot lose. Who would, if they had the choice, choose to be a slave?
Leftists love for you to label yourselves as on the "right" because they can call you fascist, and like Hitler. It is a dumb trap to let yourselves fall into to allow that. Don't use it. Those who do aren't going to be trusted by yours truly anymore. Either there's something wrong upstairs, as in "nobody's home", or you're trying to pull something on me. I'm not going to buy anything you sell if you keep doing that.
Ronald Reagan's 1964 speech
Look for it at the 4 minute mark.
