It turns out the STFUSexists has a pretty good readership, mostly college-age feminists, from what I gather. And what holds these youngins together is summed up by Robert Stacy McCain, who notes:
Anyone who has read Thomas Sowell’s The Vision of the Anointed (as everyone should) recognizes in this a signature trope of elitist liberalism: “We are enlightened and sophisticated, whereas conservatives are benighted and bigoted.”In other words, the little women at STFUSexists are intolerant know-it-alls who know little when it comes to conservative ideology and politics.
And on that note, looky here: One of Miss Olga's readers was moved to write a full post after skimming my blog, and then writes:
I just got done looking at his blog as well and that was the first thing that struck me, how naked Katy is fine and dandy on a cover because she is ‘classy’ to Lady Gaga’s dead-body using weird. I also noted the obligatory nods to ‘Socialism’ without any clear understanding what that is or intelligent tying of it to our current president. My favorite had to be the pic of him outside of Kohl’s buying ‘patriotic clothes’, stocking up for the 4th as he puts it. Normally, I wouldn’t notice or care, other than to remark that he looks a lot like a homeless guy in that get up, but on a tea bagger’s, lefty watchdog blog I kind of take it more as it was intended-as in that he is more patriotic and therefore more deserving of having a voice in this country. This is my biggest angst/source of hilarity with these assholes, that they claim so much love of our country while having absolute disdain for the election process and for the rights and freedoms that this country actually stands for (or should be).Where to begin?
Well, first I'm dyin' to know what's the "homeless guy' tip off at the pic. I mean seriously ... I just shaved, LOL!!
And I know GSGF is lovin' it:
Besides that, well, no need to go on too much about all of this. I would like to know the basis for our friend's claim that I haven't "any clear understanding" what socialism is, nor an "intelligent tying of it to our current president."
I guess our little one didn't spend much time in the archives. One of my widely read posts during the campaign was "The Ideological Foundations of the Obama Phenomenon," illustrated with a cartoon that might well describe the thinking of Miss Olga's followers:
And if I don't mind saying, I know a thing or two about ideology, and one thing I know is that my knowledge is most assuredly not based on the same kind of self-annointed omnipotence we find among leftist little tikes like these.
For edification, here's a few suggestions, since I doubt our little know-it-all is quite as versed on Marxist theory and praxis as she implies.
Let me recommend:
David Priestland, The Red Flag: A History of Communism.BONUS: Walter Russell Mead, "Literary Saturday: The Communist Manifesto."
Jamie Glazov, United in Hate: The Left's Romance with Tyranny and Terror.
Leszek Kolakowski, Main Currents of Marxism: The Founders - The Golden Age - The Breakdown.
And here's the perfect quote (at Hole Snipe):
Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery."
-- Winston Churchill
