I’ve pretty much stayed out of the commentaries and everything else surrounding Sad Puppies and the Hugo, but I’ve paid my money and I will vote my one vote…
BUT, having said that and having read the vitriol coming from the left and now places like Entertainment Weekly, I can’t help but wonder what is next…
Just got back to the hotel and was perusing my normal reads when I happened across an article that struck a nerve with me, based on the last month or so…
This pull quote from Rick Wilson’s article is what set me off, so to speak…
Political Violence Is Never Okay
At some point, the social-justice warrior crowd is going to incite their people into something more than Ferguson or Occupy or Internet harassment. At some point, their fanatic desire to erase God from the hearts and minds and actions of red America will cross a threshold. Someday, in some town, a Christian shopkeeper who becomes the focus of the 4chan or Reddit Rage Machine will be killed by some militant atheist or black bloc kid or some other flavor of crazy. That day, their rage won’t come from the click of a mouse, but from the barrel of a gun.
The full article is HERE from The Federalist website. While it was written about the pizza place in Indiana, how close are we to having something like this happen over something as inconsequential as a book award???
Check six folks… Just sayin…
yep, these sure are “Interesting Times”.

Checking my six is a constant activity, these days. There’s no time for Condition Opaque, anymore.
If the mooslim terrorists don’t get us, the political correctness terrorists will. Thank God for the free state of Florida and our ability to defend ourselves.
Hey Old NFO;
I have been expecting violence to be a means of choice for the left…More since Ferguson. They will get Holier than thou even though they encourage the behavior among their brainless followers. They want plausible deniability in the social wars.

I am always watching my six
When this happens, and I mean when, not if, because the left are getting more fanatic by the day and “scandal” that goes against their beliefs. They will see a rage unleashed from people like us, a rage that has been building for a long time. The stories told about it will instill fear into their great grandchildren when they speak of it in a hushed whisper. We are tired of turning the other cheek, tired of playing the nice guys. We can see the storm building on the horizon, they don’t or refuse to see it.
Folks- Thanks for the comments. I’ve been on the road with little/no access, and now apparently there HAVE been death threats against Larry Correia and possibly Brad Torgerson…
Crap like that is the single biggest reason I hope* for a massive, nasty correction of the market and dollar.
If those assholes are busy trying to exist, the won’t be bugging us. And I doubt they’ll succeed on the existing part.
*hope = schadenfreude. I’m quite comfortable now and realize the world of shit we would end up in.
