It’s the eighth anniversary of FredHJr’s death — 13 Comments

  1. Very astute, well-crafted comments by FredHJr. He described the left and its moving parts so well. We lost a treasure trove of knowledge when Fred passed on.
    RIP, FredHJr.

    The human brain is capable of many things. To have developed writing, mathematics, the concept of money, the clock, the water powered loom, and the steam engine, which all contributed to the industrial revolution, is what it is capable of at its best. The desire and schemes to control other people through treachery and violence is what it is capable of at its worst. If more people spent their time providing goods or services to other humans and less time trying to control the way others live, we would all be much better off. Heck, even a pleasant hobby like fishing, golf, hunting, hiking, or? is a better way to spend time than in the quest to control other people’s lives. The left is always trying to control others while the right just wants to be left alone. That is one reason why the left keeps moving the ball further down the court. They’re playing a totally different game than we conservatives.

  2. “Now, with the latter part of the 20th century behind us and the dawn of a new millenium, the totalitarians in both civilizations have mated and allied, creating a very large and powerful force.”

    Years ago, visiting an old restored industrial facility, I saw a machine called an Attrition Mill. It consists of two steel disks rotated at high speed in opposite directions, crushing the material to be milled between them.

    I was immediately struck by the metaphor: Western civilization is caught in a gigantic attrition mill, with one disk being the Islamofascist enemy and the other being the Totalitarian Left.

  3. Would that our legislatures could come up with a concept of being “left alone ” I guess we would give up a lot trying to live
    “Off the grid”so to speak. But I know some folks are trying to, it has to be hard though , A Ted Kaczyn ski life. The liberals
    treat us like insects we must belong to this hive or else.
    The Founders would be shocked,

  4. I come an go from commenting on this blog but am always impressed by the quality of comment here. Truth be told I don’t think I saw as clearly as Fred the double jeopardy in 2009. And I would add with the benefit of viewing it from today that we really were looking at a double double. Until recently, we were being governed by leftists who are not only in an unholy alliance with the islamofascists, but also with the Liberal Internationalists who fancy themselves citizens of the world and have no loyalty to God or Country. For all his faults, Trump saw the perpetrators of this double double and is managing to have a go at them. He engaged the first with his promise to restore border control and the second by calling out the problem of a working class left to rot. The Obushtons had no intention of lifting a finger in either of those areas.

  5. I remember FredHJr and was saddened by his loss. Thank you, Neo, for remembering him. How time flies! If you had asked me to guess how long it was since we last heard from him, I would have answered 3-4 years only.

  6. From the perspective of “been there, done that,” FredHJr’s comments on the left warned less knowledgeable readers where we were going.

    Neo and many of the commenters here- myself included- left the left, but few of us had the perspective of FredHJr.

  7. I had not yet ever visited this site at the time of his death, but the first time I saw Neo post on the anniversary (maybe 4 years ago?), the handle sounded familiar to me, and I looked in the archives here and saw that FredHJr was a well respected commentator at PajamaMedia, so that is probably where I first encountered him in the mid 2000s.

  8. Western civ is too enamored of the gods that the 1st Commandment told the Jews not to worship. Demi gods = nephiliim

  9. Time is flying by too quick. It seems like yesterday I wrote on this blog every day, read Fred’s words and yet I have my own battles to fight.

    Miss you Fred. I hope your family is doing well. Prayers for them.

  10. I came to this blog a couple of years ago, and I only comment now and then since I don’t have much to add, but Fred seems like a person I’d like to one day emulate in erudition, love the West and familial commitment. I suppose I have the time since I believe I’m one the youngest here. And maybe one day I’ll meet Fred once I turn to dust, where I’ll bring up neo’s blog – I’ll he’ll smile and give a quip.
