People are encouraged to disagree and discuss their disagreements; that is social discourse. If we all only spout the comments and views of DU or the Freepers, communication and exchange of ideas will never take place.

For my money, and the even more valuable and quite finite quantity of “time” I find Kim’s blog eminently worthwhile.

Would that I could say the same for others.

Well, no. That was sort of my point—that that form of argument is BS.

A secondary point was that the “socialist” part of “National Socialist German Worker’s Party” probably shouldn’t be taken any more seriously than the “worker” part.

I also don’t understand why you would make fun of a man’s name.

You also apparently don’t understand that I don’t think his name is funny. I do think it’s funny that there are probably people running around right now mispronouncing the name of the author of a screed on “pussification” in that specific way. I think that’s funnier than a proctology manual written by “Seymour Butts.”

Making fun of somone’s name is quite harmless, but it displays a lack of cultural awareness. Those of us who travel and/or hang out with folks from different cultural backgrounds rarely find names funny.

Of course, I don’t find blonde (or racist) jokes funny either.

Why is this argument BS? Liberals hit us with “Bush=Hitler” lines constantly. I personally don’t think most liberal folks are like Hitler, but the fact remains that Hitler was a socialist who wanted the government to have a great deal of power. I view anyone who wants to empower government with distrust.

Hitler claimed to be a worker and that makes him like a conservative? Nice try, but who runs for office claiming to be a lazy bastard, or out of touch elitist? Hitler also loved dogs and children. So what?

It’s not my fault if you can’t tell the difference between someone calling you a name, and someone thinking it’s funny that you probably get called a certain, ironic-in-light-of-a-certain-writing, name a lot.

Hitler was a socialist, like many liberals.

He also claimed to be a “worker,” like many conservatives.

The difference between you and me is that I realize that this kind of argument is BS, and you seem to think it establishes some sort of intellectual dominance.

What are the wingnut’s excuses?

Gosh, I wonder where they get that from.

If Kim du Toit was personally part of the abuses of apartheid, why did he spend a short time in the slammer for protesting it? I’ve posted this before and no one has answered.

So what if Kim speaks provacatively? People often speak in metaphor. This is especially the case with blogging. Don’t worry, no one wants everyone in Africa to die.

I also don’t undertand why liberals constantly compare conservatives to Nazi’s. As far as I’m concerned, Hitler belongs solidly to the liberal camp. Let me break it down:

Hitler was a socialist, like many liberals.

Hitler had the government playing a role in everyone’s life, like many liberals would have.

Hitler was very pro-Arab, as many liberals are.

Hitler hated Jews. American liberals claim to hate only Zionism, but I don’t know. Some of those protesters make me wonder.

Hitler enacted gun control and censorship.

Moreover, rather than ecourage debate, many liberals have simply branded us as neaderthals, fascists, unenlightened, or just plain stupid. Nazis were big on dehumanizing and villifying people.

I don’t know what you guys are all about, but it’s fun to come here and watch the Nation of Riflemen invade your space and dominate you intellectually.

But since the criticisms have nothing to with substance and everything to do with emotions and rancor it kinda makes this post kind of pointless joke, doesn’t it?

1. I was drafted. Draft-dodgers in S Africa didn’t have the “Canada” option they did here—not that I would have taken it.

2. In Namibia, we were fighting against foreigners—Cubans, E. Germans and such—and it was when the Army shifted its focus from border duty to local duty that I decided to emigrate rather than shoot other S Africans.

3. Spending a little time in an apartheid-era prison and three months in court for protesting against the apartheid policy is, generally speaking, not the mark of an apartheid supporter.

4. As for being an Afrikaner, I renounced that part of me a long time ago, publicly (via a letter to the largest morning newspaper in the country), but you weren’t to know that.

5. Sorry if I don’t fit your little stereotype of the typical racist Afrikaner. You’ll just have to find another one to pin on me, because this one doesn’t work. Nor do a lot of the others. Good luck.

Other than acting as an outlet for my irritation, my blog’s goal is to turn this country back into a nation of riflemen—armed citizens who stand ready to defend the Constitution against enemies both foreign and domestic.

I stopped counting “new shooters” I’d influenced when the total went over 1,000—about a year ago.

Perhaps that’s what’s got you nervous. Tremble, you bastards, because I’m not going anywhere.

Even if you do think I’m the “Worst Blogger”.

You can argue as to whether you agree with the content, but how can you argue about the meaning of the content? Kim’s writing is about as clear and unambiguous as it gets.

Do I agree with Kim? On this one, yes. I grew up in South Africa, and the post-Apartheid ANC-run New-South-Africa is a wonder to behold.

The Apartheid years may have been horrible, but the worst is yet to come.

All he does is gather news stories and present them in their own words, with clearly defined commentary.

He makes people THINK.
I wouldn’t use Glazers or Hydrashoks either

Let’s first consider the case of the ones thinking they are trolling : “my bullshit is 2nd degree bullshit, and i made you answer, which means i win, haha”. I’ll put them here in the same bag’o freaks as the others.

Past that, it’s fascinating to observe this mecanism of transmutation of sexual, class and society frustrations and insecurities into some political right wing golem. The dutoit guy is the one who was all unbalanced in his glorious manhood by some oatmeal advertisment, right?

Being a crazy rightist has become an social, even sexual pride salvation thing. Damn, must be good to be a rich, educated, rightist in the u.s. : you have all the benefits of the system, and the poor, unhappy ones proudly keep themselves in check.
