The following is a net blogger post by “Mark D.” regarding an article http://www.city-journal.org/html/16_2_oh_to_be.html by Theodore Dalrymple who observed that the most trivial violation of “political correctness” called down the greatest and most immediate response by British law enforcement, while the most egregious violent crimes went ignored:

Mark D. writes:

“May I suggest that, grounded in liberal anthropology, anarcho-tyranny is perfectly consistent, and in fact required… Liberal anthropology is derived from Nietzsche: it affirms the sovereignty of the individual will, that the individual human will is the highest and best value, and asserts that the individual will is the arbiter of all value. Within society, all individual human wills are considered of equal value, validity, and worth; and there is no principle (e.g., God) by which to discern among them. Society is then a contest of a will to power, of asserting one’s preferences over those of others.

“On the ‘anarcho’ side, this translates into affirmation of the individual human will over such traditional values as private property, public order, and even human life. Abortion is the perfect example of this. If a crime of violence is committed, a conviction may be sustained, but a long incarceration is viewed with suspicion, as the imposition of a collective will over and above the highest good – the individual will that committed the crime. It is not legitimate within a liberal community to assert the communal will over (and) against an individual human will (unless, of course, that individual human will contests the über principle of liberalism itself)… .”

Since Sheriff Arpaio insists that convicted felons pay a price, he is “imposing the collective will over and above the highest good – the individual will that committed the crime.” That is why the Left hates him so much.

I wish both candidates good fortune in the election and I am lobbying my contacts in Arizona for contributions and votes.
