The pitiful screams of the unresisting Baptist pastor attest to the Taser’s barbarous effectiveness in that role. It’s interesting and appropriate that the last part of the video is set to the strains of the Christian hymn Be Still My Soul which takes its melody from Finlandia composed by the heroic Jan Sibelius. At once patriotic and proudly subversive the Finlandia Hymn was a protest against the political repression of the Finns by the Russian Empire. We’ve clearly reached the point at which any authentic American patriot is going to be treated as a subversive by the armed enforcers of Washington’s empire. ___*No not every police officer does this kind of thing. Many of my acquaintance are just as alarmed as I am over the growing militarization of law enforcement and the pathological arrogance of the rising crop of uniformed enforcers.

” A good thing to say and many a president of the Elks the dd Fellows the Moose the Knights of Pythias and the Ancient and Mystic rder of Hoot wls has said something similar: We will not bend our principles so as to please people we didn’t like in the first place. As Proust said in his “Remembrance of Things Past” — or in French “A la recherche du temps perdu” his memoir of doing research or “recherche” as a temp at Purdue and of the mysterious Madeleine who was one of the things he remembered but don’t let me give away the whole book you should read it for yourselves — “Nous sommes qui nous sommes”: We are what we are and that is the heart and soul of Republicanism today. ” ther choirs are ambitious to venture into African idioms and jibway chanting and Bulgarian nose flute music but these old men gather in their old blue blazers and sing “Juanita” and doggone it I really really love “Juanita” and it’s about time I admitted this.

And that’s the Republican Party.
