Midknight Review -- new and revised: Well, I got my first "comment" under the new rule.

First, here is the new rule:

Printed at the bottom each post, you will find this statement: Want to leave a comment? Simply address your comment to vpjohndavid@aol.com If it is not full of filthy assertions and/or intellectually dishonest commentary, it will be published as a featured post without your email address or your name. In fact, if you do not give me express permission to add your name and/or address, it will be automatically excluded. If there is a post you are responding to, indicate that in your mail. I don't expect to see any such emails from the liberal Left, being that their cowardice is limited to "anonymous" commentary and threats. Understand that you can disagree with my point of view. You just can't do so in such a way as to kill active brain cells in the process of reading your mail.

The comment? "Why the f . . did you come up with this rule? Afraid of real dialogue. Can't stand the heat so you burned down the kitchen. Can't allow facts thrown your way that totally debunk your conservative "agenda?" What a joke you are. We are running your kind out of town. Guaranteed. Just wait and see and it will start happening this summer."

I have written to this clown, now that he is no longer a cowardly "anonymous." I must give him credit for having the courage to identify himself. Most Progressive Disruptors hide in the shadows.

If he responds to my return post, I will update with that response.

But to answer his questions: The reason for closing the "anonymous comment line" is rather obvious. the New Progressives (most of them Millennial, I believe) were raised without any serious rules, got trophies and stars for their participation. Their mom's put bumper stickers on their cars, bragging on their child's nothing accomplishments, and, now, after 20 years of this sort of parental crap, we have a generation of adults who think society owes them "success" and associated privilege.

I actually believe that it is the Millennial class (born 1982 - 2004) who demonstrates in the streets, cries about this past election, has little claim to mental stability, has no respect for others, refuses to obey the rules, and, in short, cannot handle reality. And it will take time from these folks to "pass through the system" (a scatological term used with purpose and fore-thought).

The Stated Nonsense from the Left now includes these Progressive goals:

July 2, 2008, Obama had this to say: "We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we've set. We've got to have a civilian national security force that's just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

MICHELLE OBAMA: "Barack knows that we are going to have to make sacrifices; we are going to have to change our conversation; we're going to have to change our traditions, our history; we're going to have to move into a different place as a nation."

“ . . . . . . they have become a generation of activists possessed with that most American of ideas – that people who love their country can change it.” -- Obama the Radical

On September 30, Van Jones told MSNBC "I think everybody should hold onto your seats. October is going to be the turning point when it comes to the progressive fight back."
