Today a horrible tragedy occurred. A plane crashed into an office tower in Austin, Texas. This building houses an IRS office and was deliberately struck. The attacker, Joe Stack, a 53 year old Software Engineer who also burnt his house and left a suicide letter. The Progressives on blogs like Daily Kos, Huffinton Post and the jazz artist groupie blog, Little Green Footballs, were already blaming the Tea Parties. Well to their horror, this man is not a Rightwinger He appears to be a Progressive!
Below are excerpts of his Suicide Note/Manifesto he left for authorities.
As government agencies go, the FAA is often justifiably referred to as a tombstone agency, though they are hardly alone. The recent presidential puppet GW Bush and his cronies in their eight years certainly reinforced for all of us that this criticism rings equally true for all of the government. Nothing changes unless there is a body count (unless it is in the interest of the wealthy sows at the government trough). In a government full of hypocrites from top to bottom, life is as cheap as their lies and their self-serving laws.
I know I’m hardly the first one to decide I have had all I can stand. It has always been a myth that people have stopped dying for their freedom in this country, and it isn’t limited to the blacks, and poor immigrants. I know there have been countless before me and there are sure to be as many after. But I also know that by not adding my body to the count, I insure nothing will change. I choose to not keep looking over my shoulder at “big brother” while he strips my carcass, I choose not to ignore what is going on all around me, I choose not to pretend that business as usual won’t continue; I have just had enough.
The communist creed: From each according to his ability, to each according to his need.
The capitalist creed: From each according to his gullibility, to each according to his greed.
Read it all.
This guy clearly is a Progressive. His language is that of the Left. Also his career gives it away. A majority of IT workers are Leftists and being in the industry, I can confirm this. The media was all ready to accuse him of being a “Tea Bagger”. Well they are now not stating his political views for some reason. They know he’s a Progressive like them and will not reveal this. Mr. Stark reveals his Ideology in his manifesto and uses Leftist talking points. If the shoe fits, wear it!
My heart goes out to the victims and their families of this tragedy.
Update: I changed my title because Nevergiveup brought up a valid point. This man clearly was on the Left but It’s still early and all of the facts are now out. Also taking advantage of a tragedy for a political attack isn’t right, until all the evidence is in. I do think he is a Progressive but for the sake of the blog’s credibility, I will ask this as a question.
(Title Update Hat Tip: Nevergiveup)
