Good rightwing journalists are at such a premium, and I think we lost one of the best.

We have been busy behind the scenese working on something big!

What do you call it when someone steals someone else's money secretly? Theft. What do you call it when someone takes someone else's money openly by force? Robbery. What do you call it when a politician takes someone else's money in taxes and gives it to someone who is more likely to vote for him? Social Justice.

Over the weekend, my pal and fellow LSFer Bill ran across a piece on BigHollywood discussing the Conservative virtues of Star Trek (TOS), specifically the episode "Patterns of Force" (the Nazi episode). This is the episode that was banned in Germany for decades because of the Nazi motifs.

Not having watched "Patterns of Force" in years, I sat down and watched it.

In the episode, the Zeons, another planet in system that contains two habitable (and inhabited) planets, serve as a metaphor for the Jews of WW2, while the Ekosians, who inhabit the second planet, serve as a metaphor for Nazi Germany. The rise of Nazism on Ekos comes about thanks to the meddling of a Federation researcher, John Gill, who was sent there some years ago to observe the Ekosians. Gill, being a professor of history decides to meddle in local affairs and uses Nazi Germany as the binding force, hoping to keep it benign and set himself up as dictator.

Andrew Price provides a good analysis of the episode, pointing out why, despite Hollywood's (and Roddenberry's) Leftist leanings, this is very much a Right-wing episode.
 

Liberals desire powerful government. They believe that even totalitarian regimes can be good so long as they are run benignly. Indeed, you'll often hear liberals suggest that we should suspend things like rule of law and free elections or give the state tremendous power so it can achieve some supposedly noble goal that can't be achieved the legal way.

A lot of this sounds familiar and explains why Hollywood Lefties like dictators such as Castro, Hugo Chavez, Mao, and a host of others, including (and especially) Castro's Lieutenant, Che Guevara. As those elected members of the Democratic Party here in the United States continue to push for more control over the American People, the more Hollywood Lefties love them.

Price makes a darn good point in his closing argument that "Patterns of Force" is rightwing in that it "warns that you cannot have a benign dictator. It warns the problem is the concentration of power itself, because the misuse of that power is inevitable. And no matter what the intentions may be for the creation of the state, the very concentration of that much power will attract someone who will misuse the power for evil." And yes, that is a very conservative message.

One last interesting point. John Gill was a professor of history, an Ivory Tower elitist who believed he knew what was best for the Ekosians. Sound familiar?

If you are looking for the right ammo to have on hand for the Zombie Apocalypse, this may be just the stuff you are looking for.

The video says it all.
