Diamonds are fungible. So what?

The “blood diamonds” moniker is a racket. Why don’t we hear about “blood coca” funding the FARC or “blood oil” funding Wahabbists?

Don’t get me wrong. I love human liberty and hate these totalitarian dictators, but liberals use guilt as a weapon.

Where are all the articles about Christian persecution in Sudan or Iraq? The Left only likes to attack modernity as if we’re causing all this. I’m tired of their bias and lies.

Do I want to own “blood diamonds”? No, cubic zirconia are good enough. Do I want to read liberal guilt screeds? No, toilet paper is good enough.

You’ll note their “solutions” always involve some central authority of “good” people who’ll not hurt anyone and control everything to our benefit. Utter garbage. Do you think Obama would make a good diamond czar?
