Hate a Friend Essay by Henry Nicolle - October 2010
Remember
the Smothers Brothers? Yeah, them - one of them didn't have a chicken.
We've started six or seven wars since they complained about war and
segregation. They complained that government had abandoned our rules
about how they are supposed to get our permission before killing people
and taking their stuff or pushing people around. No-one paid any
attention.
The Brothers are still alive, performing and
protesting. After having no effect by protest through seven or eight
wars, they have not yet puzzled out that they should DO something
instead of complaining.
Someone from California wrote a song
titled “Who do I have to Hate to Be Your Friend?” Tommy performed the
song, solo. The song has a valid point. In America today, your friends
demand you hate someone. Lefters and Righters hate each other.
Government growthers and Tea-Bagging Patriots tolerate no compromise.
The empowered meet the powerless with lethal violence.
I was
thinking along those lines as I sat at dinner. There are a lot of
good-hearted people who are willing to kill me and people like me in
their belief and self-justification that society will benefit by my
sacrifice at their hand because I will not be submissive.
I've
always wondered about the minds of these people, Progressives,
Conservatives and Christians. What drives these people to dominate and
to command their friends to tolerate the destruction of Liberty? Why do
they so hate self-determined individuals, families, whole sub-groups of
society and often entire societies that they are so eager to violently
impose the doubtful benefits of mediocrity upon all but themselves?
When
a man or woman informs me that I must submit to their will, abandon my
rights, surrender my liberty and give over to them what I have gained
by investing my life's time, labor and pleasures, they have declared
war between us. They are wrong to claim my life merely to dispose of it
for their purposes. They have no claim.
The gracious concept of
relieving the indolent, indigent and incapable by robbing the diligent
and creative risk taker of the fruit of their enterprise is an attempt
to sustain the unsustainable and a foul, evil and despicable thought.
It
is a concept which has taken root in our modern Western world and has
now carried us to the brink of fratricidal collapse. We are killing
each other with gratuitous generosity, funding our goodness by theft
and fraud and delivering our good intentions lubricated in violence by
jack-booted thugs. At each stage of this foul criminality, the
perpetrators wrap themselves in the shellac of good Citizenship, pious
charity, public duty and sacrifice for the common good. Their conduct
remains rape, plunder, pillage and murder, whatever their claims or
intentions.
In case you have not noticed the propaganda emitted
by the government and their media sock-puppets, we are being
manipulated into accepting a violent domestic religious/racial/class
conflict. Over the last two decades of social and economic crumbling
and foreign wars of Empire, we have matured a common belief that our
urban barrios and 'hoods are the breeders of criminal, anti-social
sub-cultures.
The propaganda has fostered the assumption that
these infestations are inherently alien to the American Way through
color and culture conflicts with the White, Christian ethos. They
suggest that Federal crime statistics support these conjured beliefs.
During
the last decade, with our two dominant minorities successfully
demonized in the public mind, additional kindling of color and belief
has been added to the preparation for conflagration. Illegal
immigration has been effectively touted as the cause and core of
bankrupt schools, health care and public services and central to
violent drug wars.
Supplementing this foundation of evil
colors we have now been convinced that the threat of color and culture
has now been enlarged by criminal allies of Middle-Eastern Muslim
color, culture and belief. The die have come to rest and the numbers
which show are snake-eyes.
Half-truths are the ammunition of
liars. We are predisposed to believe government lies because we are
reluctant to openly oppose presumptions of Authority. People with
Authority are killers, pure and simple. They act out their ambitions
and if those ambitions are criminal, they clothe them in the colors of
office, duty and law before they kill. Today, they often don't bother
with color, they just kill.
If you are afraid and pay “taxes”
not owed, have “licenses” infringing your Rights and Liberty, if you
are unarmed to defend your life, you are a killer's facilitator and
accessory.
If you are one who demands that we submit, your hands, not-friend, are bloody.
Friend,
your money and property are gained at the expense of your hours of
life. Who owns you? The stage is set. “Who Must I Hate to Be Your
Friend?”
