A Thank You to Charles “Icarus” Johnson

I have attacked and exposed Charles “Icarus” Johnson as a Neo-Stalinist progressive. I have pointed out his nasty hypocritical attitude and treachery of friends. Tonight I will do something different, I will thank him!

Charles, If you never had LGF, I never would met fabulous intelligent people. Many of these people have help change my opinions and perspective. They have taught me many facts and events I was not aware of. I owe all this to you Mr. Johnson. You had the greatest commentators in the Blogosphere and for that I will eternally be grateful.

Charles “Icarus” Johnson, I am also grateful that you help with the success of Blogmocracy. When we first started here as LGF2, it was a blog that just was dedicated to exposing you. As you began to ban people and they came here, it changed the tone of this Blog. These posters like Goddess of the Classroom, Iron Fist, Coldwarrior, Island Libertarian and others were some of my favorite people to read on LGF. Even others that at LGF I had issues with are now some of my closest Blog friends now! As they came over here, I stepped up my game and began to focus on the Progressive Movement. Your actions have validated the fact that Progressivism is an Evil Ideology based on Control. I became an improved and now respected blogger because of my new audience. many of whom helped change my mind on issues and made me realize the error of my past ways.

Charles, Thank you for helping to build Blogmocracy!

I dedicate this video for you!

We are going to make it!

FYI- This Video by the LOX was filmed in Miami and I saw the shooting. It was filmed Memorial Day Weekend 2001.

    Rodan, that is a beautiful letter you wrote thanking Charles.

    You are right, I had met some of the most interesting community of people anywhere at LGF1.0

    Babba, Mamawinger, Ploome, Buzzsawmonkey, Zombie, TQCincinnatus, Kirly, Ma Sands, Carl from Jerusalem and so forth…

    And several blogs were born as a result…

  35. 35 | October 26, 2009 9:50 pm

    Oh hell, I’ll hop on. From, you know, the DARK SIDE.

    I’m thankful for the focus on Europe. First, for our look at jihad, and for the scrutiny against the fascist extremists who were exploiting that. Not talking about Vlaams Belang so much as Pro Koln, Manfred Rouhs et al.

    I second that he had a good crew of commenters. Medaura inspired me to take a look at the Jiricek Line and to conclude that the Albanians moved from north to south – i.e. that the Serbs moved into Kosovo after the Albanians did. I’m glad for the debates even when I disagreed, for instance against Medaura over abortion & against Zombie over marijuana.

    Thanks for the two years, off and on.

    I’m thankful that LGF shone a light on the intelligent-design movement in Texas & Louisiana, which is something Conservative blogs wouldn’t do.

    Thanks for the book recommendations. Thanks for Tom Waits.

    Thanks for inspiring me to get a Kindle.

    Thanks for the original Parachat Lounge. Yeah, the one I betrayed.

    Thanks for taking the hattip on the “black press” meeting, and for front-posting my “creationist meltdown form letter”.

    Thanks for buzzsawmonkey.

    Thanks for the Jews and the Catholics and the atheists with all their debates.

    I *would* be thankful for the look at RS McCain except that, it happened too late, and now it’s just a mud fight between hacks on the right and hacks on the left…

    Thanks for the JavaScript code I adapted for one of my work projects, which showed me how to count down the length of my post as I was typing it.

    Thank You Blogmocracy for bringing so many familiar “nicks” (intelligent and talented) posters back into my life!!!

    I can’t remember what took me to the 1.0 blog the first time. But I do remember literally laughing out loud at the wit and wisdom expressed in the comments section. While I think the humor might have evaporated over there, I’m so happy to find it has coalesced at 2.0. Come for the humor, leave with the expanded horizons.

    And it’s still kind of funny over there. Like CJ’s very recent post and a response. Sort of a metaphor.

    With all the Hard Leftists there now, it will be interesting to see the reactions at LGF in either a rematch between Hizb’ALlh and Israel or another crisis withe the Arabs Muslim Colonists (Palestinians).

    Actually Circuit City is strictly online now….

    They still exist, believe it or not

    As an unfortunate stockholder of Circuit City (trading on the pink sheets for a bit under a penny a share until final bankruptcy settlement), I had to check this out. Going to CircuitCity.com, you find the following:

    On May 19, 2009, Systemax Inc. purchased the Circuit City brand and website. Systemax Inc. has been in business since 1949. Systemax Inc. is a leading multi-channel retailer of computers, electronics, and industrial products in North America and Europe. Systemax Inc. is a publicly traded company on the NYSE under the symbol SYX.

    So, yep, CC still exists online. The purchase probably helped pay down some amount of the original CC’s outstanding debt — no joy for stockholders though.

    Sorry for your stock loss. It’s been a very bad 12 month period to say the least.

    Yes, SYX bought out the name CircuitCity. They also own some brick and mortar stores, TigerMax and CompUSA. I wonder what the entire CircuitCity online valuation is in that the entire company of SYX, which is an industrial division and a technology division, further broken down into bricks and mortar, and then some online, has only a $500 million market cap.

    It was just a metaphor for 1.0. Formerly great, now not so much.

    Because he insists on using the phrase “intelligent design” in the narrow sense in which it is used by Biblical creationists, since they are his carefully selected straw man on that issue. To acknowledge the existence of other notions of intelligent design, e.g. that evolution is itself the intelligent design, would muddy the waters for him, since the primary aim is beating up this fundamentalist straw man.

Because he had fabricated a crusade for himself to do with evolution/ID teaching in the schools and made this his flagship issue. Recognizing the existence of more subtle views that reconcile the two would have just detracted from his little show.

    Yes. He was adamant that ID = Creationism in disguise. He refused to acknowledge that ID was an attempt to locate a Creator in the biological world, rather than in the Bible. Yet was quite happy to admit that a Creator was compatible with evolution. The presence of God in the flagellum (irreducibly complex)might be specious – but not more so than the presence of God in the Universe (unexpandably complex).

    But, see, that narrow sense of ID is used by the lobby that want creationism taught in schools and it serves as a stealth euphemism for fairly literal interpretations of Genesis. What Charles was doing was to exclude all other possible senses of ID in order to maintain his focus on the fight against that lobby, but that made it impossible to discuss the question rationally.

    Charles really lit into that. “WRONG!” was his first cry, after which he went into a rant solely about the (supposed) “creationist” bill Jindal signed in La., which was, of course irrelevant.

    That was the first time I realized that he has serious deficiencies as a thinker.

    I was renting a room from the guy who hired me, and part of the deal was that I got to get up a 6AM to shovel horseshit out of the stable, then go take a shower, put on a suit and tie and sit in traffic for an hour with 90% humidity.

    Didn’t take me long to decide that that was not where I wanted to be.

    Kerrville is a wonderful place. So is Fredericksburg. The hill country is one of the most beautiful places on earth. At least in my umble opinion. There is so much of Texas to explore though it can be hard to remember everywhere you should go. If possible there is a place called Camp Beans near New Braunfels that is awesome. The sites are really cheap and they are right on the river.

    Yeah they are ruining the political demographics here. It is tough. The added businesses and revenue are great, but over time they will do to our state what they did to theirs. We have several things in our state constitution to help stop or slow the process, but eventually it may not be enough. The balanced budget amendment is one of the big ones. Every state and the federal government should have one.

    In Fredericksburg there is the Admiral Nimitz museum. Very informative and lots of fun if you like military history. There are little German towns all over. Even in the Houston area. Most are quaint and not a whole lot to do, but some of them are full of historical monuments and family friendly attractions. There are some really good travel guides of Texas you can find. Historical societies have some of the best little known places for you to see. The Shiner brewery in Shiner Texas is pretty cool too.

    Oh, well you are right about that. Although, we have been doing fairly well here in Texas. It isn’t all peaches and cream, but the housing market and the job market is better than damn near anywhere else in America. There are tons, and I mean tons of businesses moving here from all over. Michigan is one of the biggest. I will say though that for the most part the people from Michigan and Wisconsin are good folks. Atleast in my experiences. Other than their funny accents they share a lot of views and ideals with us. :-)

    IF there were lower taxes, fewer restrictions on businesses, free trade…

    Wouldn’t the economy skyrocket from the worst government produced recession in decades?

    And if it did, wouldn’t the labor industry thrive to the point where it could afford to pay legal wages instead of hiring illegal workers?

    And if that happened, wouldn’t the illegals want to become citizens in order to earn higher wages?

    Nah. We’re gonna fuck it all away.

    I actually am partial to passenger trains even if Amtrak is the boondoggle that keeps on giving. I still support it out of Nostalgia for trains though perhaps avoiding the mismanagement wouldn’t hurt. The service has improved drastically over the past 10 years and can you imagine travel on the east coast with out the Northeast Corridor!! I think that is the most profitable sector within the enitre AMTRAK system.

    Speaking of former 1.0 posters, in the NY-23 special election, Doug Hoffman gets the nod from a certain satirical writer.

    http://iowahawk.typepad.com/iowahawk/2009/10/iowahawk-endorses.html

    Iowahawk Endorses

    Unless the candidate is me, I have made it a practice to abstain from issuing formal endorsements for political races. In the case of Douglas Hoffman, the Conservative Party candidate for the US Congress in New York’s 23rd district, I will make a happy exception.

    Canuck reader Maryann Crabtree forwards this photo [Go to the link for a look.] of the candidate posing proudly in front of his Two Lane Blacktop – worthy 1955 Chevy 210 2-door sedan. Note missing rear bumper. Note radiused rear wheel well. Note nose-up gasser stance. Note the all-bidness custom paint, which appears to be a blend of Hugger Orange and Riverside Red. An educated guess tells me that lurking under the hood is a high winding destroked 301 small block, mating a small journal 327 block with a 283 crank, with a set of Doug Thorley or Hooker headers huffing through glass packs. White ball Hurst shifter atop a Muncie 4-speed, natch. Visual cues indicate this photo was taken circa 1969; thus, while his Congressional cohort was tripping on brown acid in the mud at Max Yasgur’s farm, Mr. Hoffman was gearslamming down the quarter mile at Fulton Speedway.

    Yessirree bob, this photo tells me everything I need to know about Mr. Hoffman, and I enthusiastically give him my full support. As it turns out Mr. Hoffman still loves cars, and his family is still involved in the classic car restoration business. This, I have learned, is now the basis of attack ads from his Democrat and Republican foes in the race.

    Which tells me everything I need to know about them.

    Hey Newt ‘Mr. Conservative’ Gingrich, buy a clue. When you’ve lost Iowahawk, well, you ain’t shit.

    Well, you see, every promise from zero comes with an expiration date.

    This whole ‘expiration date’ meme has gotten very annoying. It assumes Obama meant what he promised at one point, which I do not believe to be the case. As Joe Wilson so succinctly put it, “[He] lied.” Obama never means anything he promises. And what’s most frustrating to me is he gets away with lying with no follow-up or derision. I fear how low Obama can sink our Nation. He’s taken a pretty good running start at that already — and sinking this country’s the only job he’s done anywhere near approaching competent.

    I am not calling BHO a Commie,

    I am. From what political philosophy do you think ’share the wealth’ comes? If Obama weren’t a commie rat-bastard, how the hell did all those commie advisors end up working in the White House? Especially after filling out that lengthy White House application questionnaire?

    http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/11/13/transition.questionnaire/index.html

    The Obama transition team is sending a seven-page, 63-item questionnaire to every candidate for Cabinet and other high-ranking positions in the incoming administration.

    The questions cover everything from information on family members, Facebook pages, blogs and hired help to links to Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, American International Group and troubled banks as well as lawsuits, gifts, resumes, loans and more.

    Or do commies get the short form? “Do you heart Chairman Mao?”

    Don’t know if this has already been posted, but Der Spiegel conducted an interview with Charles Krauthammer.

    http://www.spiegel.de/international/world/0,1518,656501,00.html

    Some of my favorite quotes:

    (Riffing on the Nobel Prize) – “He is a man of perpetual promise. There used to be a cruel joke that said Brazil is the country of the future, and always will be; Obama is the Brazil of today’s politicians. He has obviously achieved nothing. And in the American context, to be the hero of five Norwegian leftists, is not exactly politically positive.”

    (On the UN) – “No. The UN is worse than disaster. The UN creates conflicts. Look at the disgraceful UN Human Rights Council: It transmits norms which are harmful, anti-liberty, and anti-Semitic among other things. The world would be better off in its absence.”

    (On Afghanistan) – “No. The strategy he’s revising is not the Bush strategy, it’s the Obama strategy. On March 27, he stood there with a background of flags, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on one side and Secretary of Defense Robert Gates on the other, and said: “Today, I’m announcing a comprehensive, new strategy for Afghanistan and Pakistan.” So don’t tell me this is revising eight years of Bush, he’s not. For all these weeks and months he’s been revising his own strategy, and that’s okay, you’re allowed to do that. But if you’re president and you’re commander-in-chief, and your guys are getting shot and killed in the field, and you think “maybe the strategy I myself announced with great fanfare six months ago needs to be revised,” do it in quiet. Don’t show the world that you’re utterly at sea and have no idea what to do! Your European allies already are skittish and reluctant, and wondering whether they ought to go ahead. It’s your own strategy, if it’s not working, then you revise it and fix it. You just don’t demoralize your allies.”

    (When asked to describe ‘The Obama Doctrine’) – “I would say his vision of the world appears to me to be so naïve that I am not even sure he’s able to develop a doctrine. He has a view of the world as regulated by self-enforcing international norms, where the peace is kept by some kind of vague international consensus, something called the international community, which to me is a fiction, acting through obviously inadequate and worthless international agencies. I wouldn’t elevate that kind of thinking to a doctrine because I have too much respect for the word doctrine.”

    I have this to say: When I first saw LGF, I began visiting it semi-regularly (the many posts made it rather difficult to keep up as I was visiting several other blogs). It wasn’t too long afterwards I began visiting Gates of Vienna (it wasn’t through LGF that I became acquainted). When the blog war between LGF and GoV started, I didn’t know what to think, but it didn’t take too long for me to side with GoV.

    As time passed, I found LGF to be more and more irrelevant. The vitriol and the name-calling and the accusations increased. The accounts of commenters being banned for absurd reasons increased (eventually, I started an account at LGF to see how long I lasted and I didn’t last too long).

    Then I came across this place, another blog subjected to the same accusations, name-calling and vitriol as every other blog LGF had been attacking. What I’ve seen here at Blogmocracy is what I believe LGF used to be before its fall.

    I continue to visit GoV, as well as Jihad Watch, Atlas Shrugs, Michelle Malkin’s blog, The Brussels Journal (occasionally) and of course this blog. I’m glad I have been visiting those great blogs, and I’m glad I have been commenting here.

    So, for what it’s worth, thanks, Charlie.

    I’ve always hated commies. Maybe it was the nuns in school, or maybe it’s because my father’s side is Hungarian and I was born earlier in the same year (1956) as the Hungarian Revolution against the Soviets. [In my college library in the late '70's, I happened upon a LIFE magazine article about the Soviet-Hungarian 1956 Olympic water polo match, the one where the pool ran red. That also affected me.]

    I still remember how pissed my father was at Carter for giving the Crown of St. Stefan back to the Hungarian commies in 1978. (We had been entrusted with the crown (taken it?) after WWII, and had kept it in Fort Knox.)

    It still amazes me that 20 years after the fall of the Berlin Wall, we are now taking on commies in the frikkin’ White House. That’s no joke to me.

    But a few people were saying, “…except in our Universities and in our government bureaucracies and places like that.” I felt then that the last stand against Communism would be here, simply because so many of them had wormed themselves into positions of influence, and were amoung those who were the loudest in proclaiming there were no more Communists.

    Government
    “The most revelatory passage in the so-called ‘plain English’ version of the health care bill that the Senate Finance Committee approved on Tuesday (without ever drafting the actual legislative language) says that in the future Americans will be offered the convenience of getting their health insurance at the Department of Motor Vehicles. This is no joke. If this bill becomes law, it will be the duty of the U.S. secretary of health and human services or the state governments overseeing federally mandated health-insurance exchanges to ensure that you can get your health insurance at the DMV. You will also be able to get it at Social Security offices, hospitals, schools and ‘other offices’ the government will name later. Page 19 of the committee’s ‘plain English’ text says: ‘The Secretary and/or states would do the following: … Enable customers to enroll in health care plans in local hospitals, schools, Departments of Motor Vehicles, local Social Security offices, and other offices designated by the state.’ This is the bill’s most revelatory passage because it sublimely symbolizes the bill’s true aim: a government takeover of the health care system. You do not get food at the DMV. You do not even get auto insurance at the DMV. But under what The Associated Press inaptly calls the Finance Committee’s ‘middle-of-the-road health care plan,’ you will get health insurance at the DMV.” –columnist Terence Jeffrey

    The OIC and the UN yet again try to stifle Christianity.

    The UN and the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) are tying to pass the “Defamation of Religions” resolution. Which would in essence silence criticism of Islam and forbid Christians for preaching the gospel. More here at the ACLJ.

    And then nobody can legally speak the truth about the Qur’an or say anything that is not flattery and praise about Islam or Moslems.

    Rasmussen has Zero at -11 today (the 29% strongly approve is probably going to be with us until Zero really pisses off the far left – not passing their precious “public option” (i.e., the road to single payer) may do it, plus maybe FINALLY getting needed troops to Afghanistan). This is I think the 13th straight day of double digit disapproval.

    Christie 3% over Corzine, of course this is within the margin of error, so it could be as high as 6% over or dead even. Hoffman is looking better in New York’s 23rd. I wish I could say that Harmer is going to been perennial office seeker Garamendi here in the California 10th (my district) but the Donk clowns in this area will vote for a carpetbagger if it means he’s a Dem.

    A former Marine who fought in Iraq, joined the State Department after leaving the military and was a diplomat in a Taliban stronghold in Afghanistan has become the first U.S. official to resign in protest of the Afghan war, the Washington Post reported early Tuesday.

    http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/10/27/official-resigns-protest-afghan-war/

    I find the timing and circumstances very curious and supecious.

    Not only that, but the level of activity changes. They’re like seagulls in the morning outside the restaurant; just waiting for some scraps. And then when Chuckles tosses out some fish heads, there’s a mad scramble and a lot of squawking.

    I was browsing through the LGF archives last night picking random dates from 2002 – 2008. What a difference! First of all I was struck by how many great posters used to be there (many are here under different nics), also the threads were totally different. The LGF of those days had its head on straight and knew what was important (winning the war) and what was peripheral (creationism). I still am perplexed as to what made him change.

    Oh, so this is where everybody went last night!

    I saw the same quiet thread still at the top this morning and was afraid all of the admins had been hit by lightning.

    Morning, folks.

    Hey, are #s 246 & 247 actual quotes?

    I had fun on LFG until CJ went after Robert Spencer. After that, I was branded as a Geller and Spencer lover. Sharmuta, sensing that I was no longer viewed favourably by CJ, stopped dinging up my comments. At around the same time, Medusa and her gang started circling. It was a hostile environment for me from then on.

    And Thank-you Rodan and others responsible for giving us another place to go to. Like you, I learned alot from the other posters at LGF1. I don’t post much, usually due to time constraints, but I admire all of the intelligent, witty people who are here. God bless all of you for writing things that make me laugh out loud during these very trying days in America.

    I see a better comparison to an old high pressure firefighters hose….when it worked, it did a lot of good, killed a lot of fires and maybe saved some lives…but then the cracks and the pin holes made our favorite hoser hit the wrong marks, missed the real fires, and started to hit bystanders harder than any flame…then there was no way to control the hose and it went out of control…onjly to be wrestled to the ground by the three stooges (see the pic of them in its a mad mad mad mad mad mad world.) Iceweasel, jimmah, and sharmuta the stinky.

    No matter how much the hose did before, it just isn’t up to fighting the good firefight
