Yes, So Nutty

Many times I've riffed on a dark, delicious fantasy about rounding up Tea Bagger types and sentencing them to green re-education camps...[More]

Yes, that's what your kind does.
A second Civil War would be an incredibly destructive thing, but it would feel so good.

No, it wouldn't. Trust me on that, Jeffrey Wells. Or  don't.

Later...

But then we know now not to make Solzhenitsyn's mistake don't we.

"And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago

I did not realize that simple subtraction was beyond so many commentators like this guy.

2-1=1 always 2-1 does not equal 4

Wow Jeffrey. "A second Civil War would be an incredibly destructive thing, but it would feel so good."

Who do you propose should round up the folks you wish to place in re-education camps? You?

My guess is that you plan to use others employing the force of the gun to place these American citizens into your so called "re-education camps."

I suggest you round up these folks yourself. Before you try though, you should form a group of like-minded people who are willing to attack others in your "Civil War." Oh yeah - I suggest first purchasing a gun and some ammunition with which to prosecute your "feel good" "Civil War."

Then go forth beating your puny chest, armed with your new gun, and promote your "feel good" "second Civil War."

And you think tea party members are loony...

I wouldn't be surprised if he collects Michael Jackson dolls.

Jeffrey Wells is nuttier than squirrel shit. He should stick to writing snarky movie reviews and dishing up Hollyweird gossip to his audience of bored housewives and metrosexuals.

Whenever he tries to talk about politics he comes off as batshit insane, crazier than anyone I see on the Right. I don't see any conservatives fantasizing about putting people in gulags, and my normal reading list starts at Steve Sailer and goes rightwards from there.

Then again, one of the important memes we all live with, which has been drummed into all of us since infancy, is: pas d'ennemis a droit, pas d'amis a gauche, and for God's sake don't rock the boat.

Leftists love and revere their extremists and look to them for leadership. Conservatives spit upon and despise anyone one tenth of a millimeter to the right of themselves as "Nazis" and "cranks" and "nutcases."

This is why "conservative" parties always take the form of circular firing squads. This is why "moderate conservatives" are indistinguishable from Ted Kennedy. This is why we keep getting Doles and McCains nominated for the GOP candidacy for the Presidency.

And I wonder if this is why the "reset button" will never be used, because the Libertarians already point at the White Nationalists and say "no, that means we'd have to cooperate with them! Unclean! Unclean!"
