Trajan75: DEATH TO AMERICAN WOMEN!!!

So despite the fact that ThinkProgress Watch Watch declared Mission Accomplished in the war against the conservatroll blogosphere, the TP Watchers continue to wage a low-level guerrilla war against progressives. Today, they took issue with a blurb from today’s ThinkFast:

“For the first time since the Spanish influenza of 1918, life expectancy is falling for a significant number of American women.” “This is a story about smoking, blood pressure and obesity,” said Majid Ezzati, of the Harvard Initiative for Global Health, a co-author of the study.

Trajan75, known for his wide pro-genocide stance, responded with this dollop of weak sauce:

Americans should exercise and eat right. It’s our own fault this is happening.

In other words, he’s saying in extremely plain and callous language, that American women deserve death. In Trajan75’s pro-obesity and pro-heart disease fantasy world, possessing another X choromosome is a capital offense. Ladies, I suggest you watch yourselves – Jack the Trajan is out for blood this time!

Trajan75: Women and Children First — TO DIE!!

Our favorite America-denying antifreeze-drinking genocide-advocating fascist-sympathizing anti-semite Trajan75 has now officially stooped to a new low.

Not content to merely eliminate all of the Democrats and Jews from the world, he has now called for the violent eradication of the human species through the mass-murder of all women and children.

In a discussion in this thread our Betelgeusian friend Ix described Trajan75 with this thoughtful characterization:

This is the same clown who dropped out of high school at age fifteen, admits to having multiple arrests, advocates the murder of innocent women and children, becomes aroused at the thought of torture.

Trajan75 then took issue with Ford’s statement thusly:

“advocates the murder of innocent women and children, ”
They’re the enemy and desrve death.

Now, this should be surprising to no one. Someone who counts among his heroes Francisco Franco, Augusto Pinochet, Adolph Hitler, Benito Mussolini, and Slobodan Milosevic would obviously have no problem with the murder of innocent women and children. And it’s an equally predictable view coming from the mouth of someone as keen as Trajan is on recreating the ancient Roman Empire. After all, massacring innocent children is something for which Roman rulers are well-known.

But that doesn’t make Trajan75’s “kill all the women and children” policy any less reprehensible. One can only shudder to imagine what Trajan75 and his little friends will possibly do in the childless, womanless, Jewless, Democratless post-apocalyptic world of his fantasies. Though I suppose they’ve given us one clue.

*shudder*

TP Watch Can’t Handle the Truth!

According to a recent bit of humdrum bloghorrea flushed yesterday into the ThinkProgress Watch series of tubes, it appears I have struck a nerve. Mr. Trajan75 has, it would seem, objected quite strenuously to my characterization of U.S. foreign policy in the latter half of the 20th century as “Imperial.” He did not like this at all, and his objection goes far beyond the de rigeur conservatroll labelling of me as “anti-American” and inviting me to “leave America if I hate it so much.” His objection is so severe that he is, in fact, editing the term “American Empire” out of my comments.

How curious.

Well, Mr. Trajan75 — IF that is your real name — I regret to inform you that I will not be leaving America any time soon. First of all, it’s where I keep all my stuff. Second of all, contrary to popular belief, I do not, in fact, hate America – I love this country, even when it misbehaves. Third of all, and most importantly, I’m not going to let you fucks off so easily.

See, while I do love the United States, I object to a great many aspects of U.S. foreign policy, specifically what I and many published authors have characterized as the American Empire. Unlike the old conquer-and-colony empires of past centuries that required massive armies to maintain, the United States built its empire through staged coups, targeted assassinations, and debt slavery. And although these actions were framed at the time as “stopping Soviet expansion,” the truth is that they were about advancing U.S. corporate interests, as well as those of our allies. It started with Operation Ajax overthrowing Iran’s elected president in 1953 as punishment for nationalizing the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company, and then spread to Guatemala and Chile and Indonesia and Honduras and Cuba and Colombia and Panama and many other places. And where we didn’t use the stick of covert ops and terrorism, we used the Bretton Woods institutions and many self-serving foreign assistance projects to provide carrots that would ensure countries’ continued subservience to U.S. corporate interests, even at the expense of their own citizens. This behavior is documented in many books and web sites, including declassified CIA reports.

Now, I’m all for a country protecting its own interests. I’m all for a country using diplomacy and trade to further its own interests in the world. But these efforts must be grounded in the rule of law. I want my country to adopt a foreign policy that recgnizes its shameful past and participates fairly in the international arena. It’s not about socialism or communism – I believe capitalism can work, but it must be grounded in some rules that protect human rights. We can build prosperity without building empire.

As always, I invite comments or criticism on this topic. However, in the interest of pissing off the conservatrolls, I will be changing their comments to Zappa lyrics.

UPDATE! – TP Watch is blogging about this blog! Too chicken to come over here and debate me blogo-a-blogo, Trajan75 has seen fit to libel me once again on his pathetic internettery, and even threatens me with bodily harm – IN THE PAST:

Toasterhead is a Traitor and If I ever met you I’d spit on you! If I had met you the way I was 15 years ago, you’d end up really hurt. I have no respect for you and will combat your lies. Traitorhead. Long Live America and death to it’s enemies, including you Traitorhread, pray to Allah your Moon God that we never meet.

15 years ago? Oh no!! The conservatrolls have invented TIME TRAVEL!

Look out, Toasterhead of 1993! Put down those Nirvana 8-tracks and flannel shirts and be on the lookout for a basement-dwelling conservatroll from the Internet! He’s armed — with saliva!!

UPDATE 2: Whew. I’m still here. Looks like Toasterhead of 1993 got the message and avoided the time-travelling conservatroll.

Now I can only pray that my past self didn’t accidentally step on any butterflies that would have altered the path of history and created an alternate present in which, say, Al Gore had somehow lost the election of 2000 and gained a lot of weight chasing ManBearPig. That’d be ludicrous, huh? Pure science-fiction stuff, huh?
