I’ve often wondered why the American Right has been so quiet about V.S. Naipaul. He’s easily the most talented reactionary writer in the English language–maybe the only living talent left in the right-wing zombiesphere. The American Right devotes an insane amount of resources into manufacturing hagiographies on anyone whom they believe makes them look good–even the Soviets couldn’t compete with today’s American Right when it comes to glorifying their pantheon of degenerate cretins like Ayn Rand, Phyllis Schlafly, Friedrich von Hayek… I found a few passages that I think explain why they never liked Naipaul much. Basically, it comes down to this: The American Right only needs “team players”–shameless, cynical hacks who can be counted on to churn out whatever rank propaganda ordered up by the Heritage Foundation. For that, you need a Rotary Club nihilist like Dinesh D’Souza, someone totally devoid of a literary ego, intellectual curiosity or a gag reflex. I was just reading Patrick French’s brilliant biography of Naipaul, The World Is What It Is, and came across this interesting scene from Naipaul’s visit to America in 1969. Naipaul had already started developing a reputation at that point as one of the rare examples of a dark-skinned reactionary Tory from a Third World colony, making him one of the most despised literary figures among the trendy-left.

OHHHHH! The pain is unbearable! PLEASE MAKE IT STOP! ROFLMAO!
"I adore John McCain, support him 100 percent and will do everything I can to support his reelection. As everyone knows, I was honored and proud to run with him. And Todd and I were with him in D.C. just a week ago." (Sarah Palin,Dec 2009) ************************************ DID Palin say or write these things or not? (Me) I don't know or F ing care.

The point is that you libTURD MORONS are most absurd when you TRY to tell other people HOW to think. AND that you libTURD MORONS live in a world where your "salvation" depends on the actions of others NOT on YOUR own ACTIONS. The traditional "Conservative" AMERICAN Constitutional way values the INDIVIDUAL above almost ALL else in society. This includes the right of EVERY CITIZEN to be secure in their individual person AND PROPERTY. You CANNOT have individual LIBERTY under ANY sort of economic collectivism. This has been proven and documented all through out ALL of human history. Collectivism is certainly the blood enemy of traditional American individualism and individual initiative. Read Camus and Sarte, read Louis-Ferdinan Celine and Orwell, read "Waiting for Godot", "Old Friend from Far Away", read Li-Po, and the others of the T'ang, you gibbering idiot. The TRUTH is KNOWN and has been for all of human history, this exact game has been played on every field of this earth. Neither YOU nor your author has some individual gnostic knowledge beyond that of ALL of human history fool. You see the letters, but you just can't cogitait out de actual individual words, and the mere concept of actual concrete defined MEANING completely escapes your small bird like "brain". The "point" is that you are not an individual or an informed "thinker". You are stoopid herd dwelling tool. Sabe? MORON.
Spoiled, stupid and ignorant, brain dead phuckwads, libTURD fools, tools, and idiots, are the real sickness; the messiah "king" obammy and his regime are only the symptoms.
Petey, I didn't appreciate the way you were gang banged when you visited Robin's site. But you're a big boy and can handle yourself quite well. This is my last reply today, so with that I'm outta here!
I almost wacked you again last night when I saw that. Wowee-Zowee … I know that just had to scare the bejesus outta him. That lick and a promise surely did a great bang-up job bring him back in line. You react like the kid saying “I hit you second.” ROTFL …
Sorry Stone. I made the mistake of reviewing that pussy's thousands of posts to and about me here the other day. Won't happen again. Oddly, his comment almost reflects what his old lady screams....(chuckle) Anyway, back on the filter he goes. Won't be an issue.
Proxy IP's are amusing.....lmao
Won't happen again. Standard practice here is to be given a time out to think about it.
Yawn....
Proxy IP's are amusing.....lmao
You probably will need to fork over a little more "insurance".
Whatever. You are almost as dumb and lame as the dwarf, ming. Run along, I'm sure there's a jewish owned building you want to trash.

What gave you that idea. war has used Badeyes name a lot of times. This was Badeyes first. Frankly I don't blame him to much. It must be frustrating. I'm just trying to be a little consistent.
blah blah bleat drone..screech......whatever....(whiningskank) Just because I wrote about tiny minds,that didn't mean I was pinging you specifically. BBBBWWWWAAAAAHHHHHAAAA!!!! Easy Pete, youv'e bitch slapped that truck stop mattress so hard her spinning noggin could advertise for the next Exorcist movie:):):
Death to everybody who does not get outta my way. (decided to retire the beatdowns on old worthless retread posters that are bozoed)
Yeah right. Poor wittle frustrated Badeye has posted it many times. And since he also has bragged in the past about doing security checks on people as a part of his business, I think calling it a breach of ethics would be a mild understatement.
No he hasn't. Not here anyways.
That's an outright lie, Stone, and you know it. So, you are either deranged or stupid. I have NEVER posted his name BEFORE he has posted mine. EVER. That includes this site and LP. He's also posted my name on GBR and FR. Go back and read your PM's, Stone. This crap here started with Boofer's butt buddy WhiteSands.
America...My Kind Of Place... "I truly am not that concerned about [bin Laden]..." "THE MILITIA IS COMING!!! THE MILITIA IS COMING!!!" I lurk to see if someone other than Myst or Pookie posts anything...
You're so manly, Boofer. You take me off filter when you ****think*** I'm not posting here...and then claim to be an "injured" party... Is there a bigger joke on the internets than you? Not even Capiaine EriKa comes close. [snicker]
America...My Kind Of Place... "I truly am not that concerned about [bin Laden]..." "THE MILITIA IS COMING!!! THE MILITIA IS COMING!!!" I lurk to see if someone other than Myst or Pookie posts anything...
Some of us now call her WhiteTrash.
I just PM'd him examples of Boofer posting my name...some unedited... I can't understand for the life of me how anyone can take anything Boofer states as being remotely associative to reality. I mean, this asshole was banned from LP because of the little stunt that he tried to pull at my county courthouse. He just doesn't get it. Neither, apparently, does Stone.
America...My Kind Of Place... "I truly am not that concerned about [bin Laden]..." "THE MILITIA IS COMING!!! THE MILITIA IS COMING!!!" I lurk to see if someone other than Myst or Pookie posts anything...
Yea...it left me...reeling... [snicker]

We've diagnosed Stone as having Male Borderline Personality Disorder or BPD for short.
Borderline men frequently engage in addictive, sexually compulsive behaviors, including regularly hiring of prostitutes, having serial affairs, going to strip clubs, obsessively viewing pornography, engaging in voyeurism or exhibitionism, and compulsive masturbation. One borderline man used high-risk sex as his form of self-harm. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hmmm....without untensils? I believe that Stone just tries to be liked in whatever direction the wind happens to be blowing him.

Good question. She acts like Boofer's bitch.
Out of here for now. Have a few chores to do.
That's where you've been?
It's blocked at work...so...add "obsessing over not being able to obsess..."

Glad to see you back.
Actually for once, Wiki has a pretty good definition. "Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is a personality disorder described as a prolonged disturbance of personality function in a person (generally over the age of eighteen years, although it is also found in adolescents), characterized by depth and variability of moods.[n 1] The disorder typically involves unusual levels of instability in mood; black and white thinking, or splitting; the disorder often manifests itself in idealization and devaluation episodes, as well as chaotic and unstable interpersonal relationships, self-image, identity, and behavior; as well as a disturbance in the individual's sense of self. In extreme cases, this disturbance in the sense of self can lead to periods of dissociation.[1] BPD splitting includes a switch between idealizing and demonizing others. This, combined with mood disturbances, can undermine relationships with family, friends, and co-workers. BPD disturbances also may include self-harm.[2] Without treatment, symptoms may worsen, leading (in extreme cases) to suicide attempts.[n 2].........."
[snicker] LOL! Firing blanks in frightening only until it is realized they are blanks. You didn't even blink ... you iron nerved one!
Speaking of "frightening" ... I saw how you LP Kloughns attempted to pick on WTP on LP. Another epic failure. Oh and EVEN MORE EPIC FAILURES.... your abuse of "Beyond the Sea" as though because he has remained quiet about your butt-boy, "yukon" that you surmise he is somehow "GUILTY" ... too much fun watching WTP wrap you boys around "yukon" exit holes.
Excellent diagnosis, doc.

Honestly, I just haven't seen so many laffs on one thread.
I saw that too, LOL. The Yukons are driving elPee into a crater.
Just a suggestion, he reminds me of a couple we had in the local nut house. The 'splitting' is especially evident.
Now, the LP Kloughns have turned on YOU over @LP. The hate that runs through their minds is incredible.
I thought about joining in but I'm so bored with the yuklowns they're not even worth the trouble to screw with them anymore. I did poke old tater with a stick a couple of times this am just to get him pissed off.
i couldn't resist poking tater with a stick this am. it'll probably keep the losers busy all morning.
Well, they have turned their attention to you with Gatlin's new thread timed just after your post to me here on LF. These folks are out for blood.
no kidding the site's in a free fall where every other post being about the yuklown conspiracy theory
From my observations they've got the following on their hit list: We The People, TooConservative, InfoWarrior (who they incorrectly believe is Bill D Berger), The Leadpenny and Judge Parker and maybe beyond the sea (aka Otis). I'm not sure how they treat Willie Green as he is a target to lots of others.
I hope they stay away from here. After Ibluafartsky departed this place was humming pretty well until Stone's Borderline Personality Disorder kicked in.
