The Value of Human Action Stems from its Goal

By Con George-Kotzabasis

Yes Nadine, Norheim is pretentiously “morally pure” as any person of inveterate weakness would be. You have noticed of course that whenever he finds himself deplete of cogent arguments he resorts to smart ‘Alecry’, as above. And you must have noticed that Kervick too, the disciple of David Hume is not immune from this intellectually debilitating disease, as his above laconic comment reveals. And his hypocrisy in his “quick question” is astounding, as if his own cascading passionate defence and suggestions of where America’s real interests lie could be supplanted by “...no other life.”

Passion and intellect are vital forces of human action and envelope one’s life. And their value depends on the aims and goals one expends them on. Nadine expends them passionately by defending the justified concerns of Israel of being deluged and destroyed by fanatical Islam and in protecting an outpost of Western civilization in the midst of resurgent barbarity from the malevolence of the prattling and historically ignorant classes that for a long time now attempt to turn the defender against aggression, Israel, into the aggressor. Norheim and Kervick, likewise, are passionately expending these vital forces for their own aims and goals. The difference being between Nadine and Norheim-Kervick that while the former is fighting injustice and malignity the latter are fighting for their manmade phantoms and for the cause of black magic. As their Archimedean point for ‘shifting the world’ is no other than the voodoo politics of a bygone ‘progressive’ demi-monde socialist era.

Kotzabasis' intellectual mission at the Washington Note seems to be to weaken Dan K., Steve C. and myself. I think he's been working on this for a couple of years now. Steve creates a new post, the commenters argue about the topic, and in comes Kotz saying that we are weak and delusional.

By claiming that we are weak, not strong, Kotz somehow expects that we get weaker than we were before he made his claim. And by repeating this claim, by typing it again and again from somewhere in Australia, and posting it on a thread read thousands of miles from his home, he hopes that we slowly get weaker and weaker. Voodoo!

Although I can't speak on behalf of Dan and Steve, I would like to inform Kotzabasis and TWN's readers that it actually works. I have no idea how (there must be some black magic going on here), but immediately after reading Kotz's last post, I felt weaker! And I also felt Kotz's increased strength. Weird!

Repeat your claim once a week, Kotz, and I'll be completely paralyzed around June or July. And you yourself will gain an enormous intellectual strength and willpower; before Christmas, you'll become a veritable intellectual Superman in your fight against Islamo-fascism and the delusional left.

Voodoo!
Go for it, Kotz!

Paul, it turns out that one only needs to change two proper names in a famous poem by William Blake to capture Kotzabasis's sentiment fairly clearly:______
Mock on, mock on, Kervick, Norheim:Mock on, mock on: ‘tis all in vain!You throw the sand against the wind,And the wind blows it back again.
And every sand becomes a Gem,Reflected in the beam divine;Blown back they blind the mocking Eye,But still in Israel’s paths they shine.
The Atoms of DemocritusAnd the Newton’s Particles of LightAre sands upon the Red Sea shore,Where Israel’s tents do shine so bright.

Kotzabasis says,

Kervick

It would be insolent to argue against the great poet William Blake. But you forget that the wind is 'contrarian' and can blow Aeolus like the other way and “blind” the mocked eye. That is why you cannot see “Israel’s tents” shinning “so bright.”
