Hey, No More Assaults on Lex!

By lex, on October 17th, 2008

Or middle aged ladies marching through Manhattan expressing their free speech rights, either.

Lovely to read the comments of those who just don’t see the problem here. As for me?

It hits too close to home.

    It’s a marketplace of ideas, so they say. You can generally tell those who’ve run out of ideas first — they resort to less intellectual means, though perhaps no less persuasive.

    Based on some of the comments I read from this “inclusive” and enlightened bunch (I couldn’t stomach reading too many of them this early in the day) it seems the guys who drove the planes into the twin towers were attacking their own.

    May I volunteer, as an “older than middle-aged lady” to protect Lex from the assaults of the effete elite limousine liberals of the East. And from those rude folks who hope some day to become limousine liberals? There is nothing enlightened about these people. They’re living in a dreamland of the 1940s, except they’ve left their good manners behind. As I recall, we all had good manners drummed into us back then, so the effects of socialist/communist doctrines were somewhat blunted by Western Civilization behaviors. Not any more. The manners of the schoolyard now dominate the behaviors of those educated in the most elite schools and colleges, except our still great military schools, like “trade School on the Severn” and West Point on the Hudson, and the Coast Guard Academy wherever the heck it is. And if I’ve left any important school out, please tell me.

    It’s a devastating reflection on our present-day society, that the best- behaved, most intelligent, most courteous people in it are our military. Bless them.

    On The American Thinker today, Saturday October 18, 2008, Beth Bernat has the Quote of the Day: “The society which scorns excellence in plumbing as a humble activity and tolerates shoddiness in philosophy because it is an exalted activity will have neither good plumbing nor good philosophy: neither its pipes nor its theories will hold water.”

    Greetings:

    Interesting but true, I understand that the assault occurred on Lexington Ave. in New York City. Colloquially, that avenue is referred to as “Lex” as in 49th & Lex.

    I fear I may myself be accused of not getting the joke, but the comment above reminded me of this case of not getting the point

    Fbl … at least it gave me a chance to be cranky about limousine liberals. I have all this worry, see, that the Right will not be allowed to prevail on Nov. 4, in spite of the best efforts of the grown-ups in this badly run schoolyard. So I find myself venting here and there until my husband gives me a cold look and tells me to take a chill pill. For the first time since I married him I’ve told him he doesn’t understand me….

    Fbl, thanks for the link. It’s interesting how everyone who says anything anymore is investigated by the media. Oh, wait, anyone whos says anything conservative….

    Sometimes I wish for the old days where if someone in a crowd hit a woman, instead of being arrested and charged and getting his day in the media, he’d just get flattened by the nearest bigger guy or guys and the thing would go away. But then, that’s just me I guess.
