Commies Isreal

Shorter “Dr.” Paul Kengor, The American Genius:
Communism’s African-American Soviet Republic

    • Occupy Wall Street is part of a Communist plot to convince Negroes to take over Alabama, Georgia and Mississippi and turn those states into an independent Negro Communist republic.

  • ‘Shorter’ concept created by Daniel Davies and perfected by Elton Beard. We are aware of all Internet traditions.™

    Dammit!!! Why don’t they ever invite Florida to any of these Negro Communist State take over parties? ‘Cause I’m thinking that would be better than the governor we’ve got now.

     
     

    Kengor would be a brilliant name for a gorilla. General Kengor, antagonist of the next Planet of the Apes film.

     
     

    How hard would it have been to shop out “author” in teh red name bar thingie?

     
     

    Imma trust the shorter, I don’t wanna put my eyes put.

     
     

    @D-K W: Great idea. I’ll do that later today when I have some more time!

     
     

    Ah, I love the leap of logic from “In the early 20th century, the Communist party was one of the only institution that had the guts to stand up for the rights of black people” to “standing up for the rights of black people is Communist!” It’s a golden oldie.

     
     

    That could have been written better, but you know what I mean.

     
     

    I AM KEN-GOR THE BARBARIAN, CONQUEROR OF LIBERALS!

     
     

    I wonder which part actually scares him the most, “Negro” or “Communist”? Actually, it’s probably “Republic.”

     
     

    Wow, the title of that piece alone is mango-riffic, but dare I ignore the shorter?

     
     

    Occupy Wall Street is part of a Communist plot to convince Negroes to take over Alabama, Georgia and Mississippi and turn those into an independent Negro Communist republic.

    Um, no it isn’t? Is that sufficient?

     
     

    Occupy Wall Street is part of a Communist plot to convince Negroes to take over Alabama, Georgia and Mississippi and turn those into an independent Negro Communist republic.

    Good thing these states are considering new voting requirements, eh?

     
     

    Needs moar fluoride.

    THERE ARE BOLSHEVIKS UNDER YER BED! BE AFRAID, AMERICA!

    Ah, Teh Nigra-SSR, a classic Bircher trope, still alive & well. Yeah, I bet the CPUSA has indeed wished they could get blacks to be their Class War Vanguard – which only proves that they & the Birchers are partners in a symbiotic relationship.

    What’s this?! Obama is a commie-by-proxy TOO? ZOMG, say it ain’t so!

    I bet BOA, GM & Goldman Sachs will be mighty suprised to hear THAT.

     
     

    Always. Trust. The. Shorter.™

    I thought that’s what the right wing wanted, tho: an independent blackity state for the blackity black blacks.

     
     

    Great idea.

    But wait,,, THERE’S MOAR!

    Two words:

    Freaking. Huge. Giant. Sammich.

     
     

    SBJ, the opening:

    Organized Communism has long targeted black Americans, an ongoing effort which has survived the fall of the USSR.

    Someone obviously was forced to read Native Son in school and was freaked out. “Ohmigoz! Commies & Blacks? ‘Tis the End!”

     
     

    I am amazed that these fear mongers can write such obvious paranoiac crap and people take it seriously. Who was it said something about never underestimating the stupidity of the American people? Gullible fucks and they vote fer chrissake.

    Also, autocorrect insists on capitalizing ‘fer’ but has no issue with ‘chrissake’. FYautocorrect.

     
     

    “Kengor” is an obvious and thinly disguised annagrammatic pseudonym for his real identity (dramatically removes pasty-white latex mask to reveal his true apprearance) “Negro-K”! By making whitey seem this stupid, Secret Agent Negro-K is actually laying the groundwork for the New Black Panther takeover fo the US!

     
     

    Occupy Wall Street is part of a Communist plot to convince Negroes to take over Alabama, Georgia and Mississippi and turn those into an independent Negro Communist republic.

    Thus turning the South into an agrarian backwater, worked by unpaid field hands?

     
     

    Ah, I love the leap of logic from “In the early 20th century, the Communist party was one of the only institution that had the guts to stand up for the rights of black people” to “standing up for the rights of black people is Communist!” It’s a golden oldie.

    Okay, there are two responses available with that.

    1) Acknowledge that the Communist Party was right where so many were wrong and by the full arc of history have demonstrated the rightness of an action that may have doomed their abilities to get their economic values accepted by majority of Americans.

    Which would open the door that perhaps the Communists have been right about other things in the fullness of time and we should maybe think about incorporating some of their ideas or at least examining them honestly rather than running away from them in fair or you could just

    2)Claim the historically no-shit connection is actually a sign that the Communist Party was behind rights for black people and thus responsible for all that “unpleasantness” thus allowing you to demonize a popular civil rights movement that has gotten history’s approval, but not your own and also allows you to believe that blacks have just been puppets of white enemies which lets you sleep at night about how the primitive ape men of the black persuasion didn’t really have the intelligence and aptitude to rise up for their rights and demand equal treatment.

    You’d be surprised how many wingnuts choose Door #2.

    Most certainly ignored by you liberals is the economic miracle of the growing South. These states, primarily Rick Perry’s Texas, enjoy the hallmarks of solid economic statecraft: Low to no income taxes. Low corporate taxes. Low regulation. Right to work. Caring for the environment without making it a leviathan’s worth of fetish, and it’s here I know you liberals will hem and haw about how little conservative thinkers like myself care about the environment. I’m sorry, but that concept flunks. We do care about the environment, as long as the science and policy analysis backs it up. You’ve made it a cause down the rabbit hole in of itself, which is foolish. You won’t see that mistake made in the south.

    Want to know why big-state disasters like New York and California are losing families and workers by the generation-full to the sunny South? All you have to do is ask the workers who have made the trip. Who can enjoy the classic American Dream of a two-car garage, a cul-de-sac, and low, low prices every day. Who have the right to work without being subject to unionized flim-flam. It’s remarkable how well the South is doing, your bigotry aside, but even more remarkable how clueless the left is about why.

     
     

    Based on the screepcap, I gotta love the title of his book chronicling the conservative movement in the U.S.

    And what does the “K” in Negro-K stand for?

    KRUGMAN! Or Karl Marx. Or maybe King, as in Martin Luther? Either way, it all fits together, totally. Somehow.

    And what does the “K” in Negro-K stand for?

    Maybe his name is Negork but he was too ashamed of that because it’s stupid.

    Maybe he’s the Kraken I keep hearing about getting paroled or released or whatever.

     
     

    Somebody (braver than I) come up with some quotes – based on the shorter, I can’t stand the idea of wallowing in the mango spew.

    When it comes to blacks and Red-baiting, I’ll never understand why so many of those assholes banged on the nonexistent ties between Martin Luther King and communism while ignoring Richard Wright, who was an actual card-carrying Communist for awhile. Maybe because they don’t know who Wright was?

    Hmm, I smell mango parfait. No swimming for me this time, I’ve got a jetpack!

    Organized Communism has long targeted black Americans, an ongoing effort which has survived the fall of the USSR.

    Yeah, it’s almost like Communism wasn’t just a euphemism for “Satan’s Soldiers” and was actually an ideology that professed to care about the suffering of the common man and the importance of equality and while said groups were inevitably corrupted by their weak protections against said things, they still tried to make pretenses towards those ideals in much the same manner that we still talk up small business and entrepeneaurs while making it impossible to run one or be one if you don’t currently have more money than a small nation.

    Kudos to Peter Wilson, who here at American Thinker highlighted the manifesto of the Revolutionary Communist Party, who are in their glory with the occupation of Wall Street by their Marxist brethren and the usual assortment of easily manipulated liberal/progressive dupes — the dependable, university-trained foot soldiers who fill the streets.

    Gotta love the posts that are so insane they regularly devolve into word salads of random buzzwords crashing into each other. Grr, Commies, rackenfracken Marxist, hsss, liberals, ungh, University.

    I mean, take another look, it doesn’t actually have a sentence in there. He got caught up in stuffing so many buzzwords in there for the seven-minute hate that he forgot to actually have a full sentence.

    Readers of Wilson’s post surely were shocked by what they read. Are there really people who believe these things?

    (open mouth to deliver the obvious retort)

    -Um, never mind. It’s too easy.

    Perhaps the most stunning element of the Revolutionary Communist Party’s manifesto is the call for black Americans to unite into a separate, autonomous republic in the American South.

    It’s always fucking projection. Always, 100%, no exceptions.

    I mean, seriously, blacks forming an autonomous republic in the South? Has there even been a single nutjob among the blacks who’ve proposed this? But there has been unending, unyielding number of racists freaking out who have been demanding the again in “We will rise again” and trying to figure out how they can label their state or collections of states into a free republic. Hell, one of the candidates even openly called for secession from the Union.

    And this idiot doesn’t even have the brains to transpose the projection.

    You are fellating the egos and persecution complexes of white Southerners. Thus, you should argue that they are forming an autonomous republic in the North or at least along the Mason-Dixon line so that they can then invade into the South to “rescue” their “kidnapped” brothers in the Southern States.

    I mean, really! Do I need to write your paranoid projections for you?

    Wilson cited the Revolutionary Communist Party’s constitution, which called upon African-Americans to forge an autonomous region comprising “the southern part of the former imperialist United States of America.” That decision would be made by a special vote in which only African-Americans would be eligible to participate.

    Oh, fuck me, this wingnut is going to have me reading another wingnut’s insane ramblings just to mock him, isn’t he? Hmm, how much fuel in the jetpack? Okay, be back for related mangos.

    Before I depart though, I must further acknowledge that these aren’t crazy mangos, these are projection mangos.

    Making policy that only black men are allowed to vote on that affects the South? Yeah, sure, that’s not at all a blanket transcription of what the whites have been doing in the South for a long damn time, fudging who gets to vote and how and how little it is made to matter with obvious re-districting.

    I know that it is always projection always, but it’s almost a little sad, because there is no flavoring to the projection. He is simply taking something he and his contemporaries do and attributing them wholesale including desires onto his “enemies”: “Communists” and black people.

Maybe because they don’t know who Wright was?

    Yes, but it’s also because MLK is the hero that history has praised. The red-baiting is about tearing down the hero who is right and trying to bury their ideas by association, which is why any liberal with a decent idea is immediately smeared as a socialist who hates America. This also allows them to pretend that MLK’s ideas were foreign propaganda and thus the blacks weren’t really smart and self-aware enough to rise up for their own improvement and thus it’s okay to still think of them as half-formed automatons unable to survive as anything less than servile workers and victims of white authority.

    This is also why Obama terrifies them. One of the slave race has risen up to be boss of everything. If that sort of thing becomes common, then, what next? And what will the response be to an entire country’s history of oppression and bullshit from a tiny and vile subset of our country?

    Sonuvabitch, I’ve been floating for days on my jetpack through the other wingnut, his link to another wingnut and finally to the random Commie nutjobs being cited.

    It’s filled with a lot of stupid ideas, like you do when you are rich guilt-ridden kids who think they can fix all of societies problems but are unaware of the realities of moving around people and infrastructure or the histories of regions and the connections people form with them.

    The part that has the nutjobs quaking in their boots is after a long section about how there will be whole new regions instead of the old states that presumably people would be shipping themselves to in huge land swaps with no hassle.

    After that is an option that if people choose option stupid with the autonomous region and if blacks decide to form an autonomous region they will be given the South instead of prime-real-estate in our developed cities (jesus, what did black people do to you to deserve that).

    They’d further be given the option in their new black state to split from the US and run themselves…you know, in the middle of the worst developed area in the continental US, because we’ve learned from our treatment of the Native-Americans how to fuck minority populations while still giving them “autonomy”.

    And I specifically cite that rather than living with rednecks because of the aforementioned great American house-swap that would be occurring. The rednecks actually make off better because they’ll get a land with better infrastructure to make their autonomous society of Rednecktopia out of.

    Additionally the election that only blacks are allowed to vote in isn’t all elections, but rather the specific resolution on whether or not blacks want the shittiest location in the USA to make into their own Blacktopia.

    So we’re talking about if these fuckwads get into power and people like their dumbshit house-swap idea and blacks decide they want to live in Shittopia rather than having major stakes in most of the major cities in the US and want to vote on making their own country (you know, like Liberia), then they can vote on that. So, in short, if cows fly over the moon while drinking a revised New Coke complete with ice from Hell, then blacks can vote in a meaningless election about whether or not they want the shittiest region in the US without even the joy of pushing around their former tormentors from the region.

    And this has the nutjobs shitting their pants.

    >1. If an African-American autonomous region is established, in accordance with what is set forth above in this Section, and in this Constitution overall, the territory of this autonomous region shall be within what was the southern part of the former imperialist United States of America–the area where the enslavement and then the continuing oppression of Black people within that imperialist state had its most concentrated historical foundation and roots and where large numbers of Black people still lived at the time of the revolution which put an end to that imperialist state and brought into being the New Socialist Republic in North America.
    2. Further, there shall be the right of African-Americans to self-determination, up to and including the right to secede from the New Socialist Republic in North America and to form a sepa- rate country, with its own independent government, in the same general territory where the autonomous African-American region would be established within the New Socialist Republic in North America. If called for by a vote of at least 2/3 of the members of the legislature of the African-American autonomous region, this right to secede and form a separate country will be put to a vote and decided by such a vote, in which African-Americans who reside in the overall territory of the New Socialist Republic in North America, and who are eligible to vote in elections in this Republic, shall be the only people eligible to vote.

    Now my jetpack is out of fuel and I must construct a boat of dumbshit ideas to row my ass back to the original nutjob.

    I’ve popped in to say hello and to say that I’ve really, really missed hanging here these last few weeks. My lovely Iris is here with me and tomorrow we will be driving from Atlanta to New York. She’s some excited girl! Me too. I’ve never driven to NY, only to DC. It’s a haul I know. I have to tell you that the weather is a shock, what with our coming from the tropics and all. The leaves are changing color and the autumn air is crispy. Iris bought her first coat ever yesterday, a shiny red canvassy job with a lined hood. Cute.Functional. Made in Nicaragua! She said she never dreamt of wearing a coat. Iris’s cheeks are red too, the same red as the coat. She stands at the mirror and wonders at her new cold weather face. I told her just wait til we get to NY.

    Oh, I meant to say something about the communists in Georgia. As of tomorrow, around eleven p.m., when we cross Lake Hartwell into South Carolina, Georgia will be totally commie free unless County (who told me four years ago this Christmas he’d like to try the “commie way” for a while to see if he could get a new pick-up truck out of the deal) just happens to make it back to Cuthbert, Georgia from Texas where he’s been dismantling a gin mill to move to Evergreen, Alabama.

    Okay, back to mango island, my supplies are depleted and I was forced to eat the jetpack. These better be worth it.

    Insane? Yes. The concept is fortunately insane to African-Americans as well as all Americans.

    A) So the point of this post is?
    B) Nice freudian slip there, placing African-Americans as wholly separate from “Americans”. Just goes to show what happens when you use dog-whistles all your life. You’ll go and use the dog-whistle in place of the word you intended and give away the whole game.

    From 1922-30, the Soviet Comintern and American Communist Party launched a long-term effort to relentlessly target black Americans. The Comintern ordered the American Communist Party to identify black causes in the Jim Crow South in particular.

    Yes, how dare a worldview of uniting oppressed groups try and understand the plights of oppressed groups in order to incorporate them into their platform and live up to their ideals.

    Don’t they know that parties are supposed to tell the people what to think, not vice versa?!?

    U.S. government investigators learned about this effort only well after it was launched. Here, too, we can thank the anti-communist investigators that liberals still demonize and portray as slack-jawed McCarthyites: the House Committee on Un-American Activities (run by Democrats, incidentally), the Senate Judiciary Committee (also run by Democrats), J. Edgar Hoover’s FBI, and Harry Truman’s Office of Attorney General (also run by Democrats). Only then did we learn the full scope of what communists were up to in exploiting black Americans.

    Shorter: We were totally right to think that the Civil Rights Movements were Communist Infiltrations and besides those horrific mistakes of the past were all the Democrat’s fault besides.

    But yeah, still love the constant wingnut trait of wholly ignoring the Great Electorate Swap of 1964. Yeah, we know democrats sucked before the Civil Rights Act, that’s where all the racist whites were hanging out before they jumped ship to the Party of Lincoln and made it the “Wrong on Everything” Party. Same reason the black Republican, once a staple of the 50s into a foreign concept.

    Three years later, in 1925, the Comintern selected a small group of 12 black Americans to come to Moscow for training.

    Hey, those at home, do you think he’ll ever actually connect black activist groups with communists or will just spin his wheels about how communists wanted to lobby with black groups and were really the only group that gave a fuck about them in the dark days of Jim Crow?

    Well, no shit Sally, thus, all groups with black people in them are Communist! Also Occupy Wall Street! Anti-communists win forever, neener, neener, neener!

    The current thinking of the Revolutionary Communist Party is not all that revolutionary.

    Calls for revolution are totally not revolutionary because they aren’t new. By this logic then neither was the American Revolution, the French Revolution, and so on.

    For the record, testimony to this plan was provided by several former African-American communists in sworn testimony before Congress beginning in November 1939 and continuing through the 1950s.

    I’ll remind you that the “evidence” for this is the half-remembered bits from a meth-addicted Beckazoid of a famously bullshit investigation by McCarthy that found zero supportive evidence for this and was of course just part of the campaign by Hoover among others to demonize black civil rights workers by linking them to the big bad of the time.

    Basically the equivalent of having a big hubaloo about how OWS is really funded by Al Queda and rather than look for evidence of this, we should just throw everyone into Guantanamo while we “investigate this terrifying link”.

    So, hey, things have gotten a bit better politically.

    Next is basically some more quotes from McCarthy’s investigations as if they weren’t demonstrated to be embarassing frauds perpetrated on the fears of the country.

    Our wingnut has apparently been in suspended animation since the early 50s and thus is unaware that McCarthy found jack and shit but did manage to ruin a lot of lives of people the right considered “unfortunate” thus allowing a hell of a lot of social damage over the next 60 years…

    Ah, I see now why this man is their hero.

    Whether CPUSA or the Revolutionary Communist Party, they never go away. They merely lie in wait to exploit the next crisis, whether in the Jim Crow South or in the efforts of Barack Obama and the Wall Street mob to demonize “millionaires and billionaires.”

    What’s the point of ripping apart this mango? There’s no connection. It’s just, commies bad, so anyone who ever speaks out against capitalism is bad and apparently aligned with fringe nutjobs.

    So yeah, let’s ignore nominees for the position of the Republican candidate openly calling for secession, direct actions against the voting rights of minorities, and the fact that you’ve already admitted that the communists were right about an issue the rest of the US (leaving aside you) has acknowledged as wrong, and just remember that commie equals wrong, bad, invasion.

    This isn’t so much an argument as a time capsule. This is someone who never left the 1950s, their cognition simply stopped and yet here they are 60 years later writing their words on their computer box to be published on the web.

    It’s more tragic than anything.

    And the conclusions are even more horrifying. Given that most of the post is acknowledging that Communists were the only ones to care about a historic wrong, but he still thinks they are wrong about everything and McCarthy was right about the Civil RIghts Movement being a commie plot, the only conclusion is that this person still thinks of Jim Crow as the perfect potential society and that the attempts to rectify it and extend the vote to black citizens was just a commie plot to steal white votes.

    In short, everything is projection, yet again. Freedom was oppression, Oppression was freedom and the commies are the real threat to the voting rights of Americans.

    I now emerge covered in slime and what I pray to god is some form of discarded pudding. I will now cover myself in jet fuel and light it to purge myself of the hideousness.

    In short, pray for me while I shower.

     
     

    Have we heard from the upside downers lately? I’m worried they have been rapturized. Rapturated? Rapturified?

     
     

    This is someone who never left the 1950s

    And who I bet couldn’t be arsed to bring any of the snazzy clothes with him.

     
     

    And yeah, should have stayed on the boat, not because of the horror, but because the conclusions are much more entertaining than the process used. It’s like seeing how sausage is made, you’re just left with a sad empty feeling.

    The comments do have some minor smiles of fail.

    Thanks Mr. Kengor for posting this history. Many anti-Communist Americans have known this history but their numbers have decreased.

    Hee, hee, wonder why, Gramps.

    Yes indeed, and with the radical Islam recruitment in the US prison system it is a wonder that any black Americans escape the liberal tyranny and actually enjoy the freedom this country has to offer.

    Oh, he is trying to bring the Senior Citizens Parade into the 21st Century by trying to link it to muslims, but his heart just isn’t in to it enough.

    I don’t like the idea of black Americans leaving us…. but I LOVE the idea of the socialist left separating from us. I would GLADLY donate to the cause of the creation of a separate state where ALL leftists lived away from us. I would love to see the anti-family, anti-US, illegal-immigrant, welfare-parasites, islamists, progressives, MSM traitors, etc leave us forever.

    Oh, that is the dream. We would love it too. This idiot presumes that his conservative society would survive intact while the liberals would fail because of all their socialism and communism and this is still 1950 when the only models of socialistic modeling were Russia and China.

    I would rather enjoy the look on his face as his society of perfect conservatism quickly devolved into Somalia as the “socialists” he ranted about basically just formed a slightly less committed version of Sweden and still was filled with vibrant debate and arguments among ourselves, because, well, we’re still the left.

    For the communist, it was not enough that laws forcing segregation were repealed. They had to “struggle” for forced INTEGRATION. In other words, the government still held the iron fist over the population, but in the opposite direction. The communists liked to portray themselves as the champions of the “Negro” but the black man was being used. They needed to forcibly “mix the races”. Had they any real respect for the blacks in America they would not have regarded them as being stupid enough to be manipulated. You can always tell what group a Communist secretly LOATHES by whom he champions. They only group they have consistently attacked are straight white men.

    Oh, hey, they couldn’t just have the Grandpa Simpson Brigade remembering when their kids didn’t use to laugh at them when they warn of the coming invasion of the Communists without the Race Warrior.

    I mean, that’s basically the point of the post, even if they are all too old and flushed with nostalgia for the 50s to remember it.

    Luckily this man is here to rant on behalf the poor white man who was FORCED by COMMUNISTS to acknowledge people of other races and interact with them day by day. Was there ever a stronger oppression faced by ANYONE.

    And this is just a sample. Captain Underpants here ranted a whole manifesto on the evils of black people being human.

    It is nice of the right to remind us after Obama’s election just how many people still have a stick up their ass about the loss of segregation and if we’re being honest, the loss of slavery.

    The number of people straight up defending that shit with arguments carefully dusted off and re-presented with nary an edit is truly staggering and a good reminder of what scars we still carry as a nation.

     
     

    Some of us have blogs to write, Pupienus (ITIYRN).

     
     

    Some of us have blogs to write

    Jesus Christ, just post a video or some assfucking poems.

     
     

    Organized Communism has long targeted black Americans, an ongoing effort which has survived the fall of the USSR.

    Organised Zoroastrianism has long targeted white Americans, an ongoing effort which has survived the fall of the Achaemenid Empire.

     
     

    But yeah, that’s the big remaining feeling. These are old frightened people. In the 50s they ran to the suburbs to avoid a society that acknowledged anything other than the white, male, and christian, and now feel like “modern times” have given them an infodump of what used to be half-misshappen monsters they feared and read about in their John Birch Newsletters.

    Their Alzheimer’s probably making the transition more frightening, coming directly from those times to a modern reality of a black president, gay people on TV, and women having jobs outside the home.

    It’d be tragic if they weren’t such horrible people then and thus even worse people now. They obviously were able to adapt enough to have their grandchildren tell them how to use the internet box and those decisions in the past to cacoon themselves in ignorance was theirs and theirs alone to make.

    The best we can do is learn from them and remember this lesson when we are old and frail and strive to defend ourselves best we can from becoming that archaic old coot still ranting about the boogeymen of our era.

     
     

    Revolutionary Communist Party

    Never heard of ’em, but I do love a good party.

     
     

    It was formerly described by Pierce Brodkorb in 1965 as Fulica podagrica.[2] However, this classification has been questioned by Storrs Olson

    Yes, and Sgt. Flugel McHornstrumpot revised the whole thing. Sure.

     
     

    Organized Communism has long targeted black Americans, an ongoing effort which has survived the fall of the USSR.

    Damnitt Smut, all they had to rationalize why the farm animals were rising up and demanding equal rights was that it was all a plot by evil communists to undermine America.

    Not only were these connections debunked, black people then began thriving in positions we denied them, the Soviet Union collapsed and along with them the potential of “Communists” as an origin of fear, and then a black person managed to demonstrate enough intelligence and ability to be elected democratically to be the president of the United States.

    They don’t have anything else from the terrifying prospect of having to regard blacks as anything other than full thinking human beings who aren’t the easily led property of white people.

    So, damnitt time-traveling communists with magic Soviet powers decades after they meant a damn will have to do!

     
     

    So, when something like OWS that involves going against the idea of letting corporations do whatever they want no matter the economic, environmental or social damage gets popular, we start to see this sort of progression:

    1. They’re all lazy hippies
    2. They’re all unamerican freedom-haters
    2. They’re all socialists
    3. They’re all communists
    4. They’re all nazis
    5. ????

    What exactly comes next? I’d kind of like to know what to expect to see all over the mainstream news and righty-tighty blogs in the coming week(s).

     
     

    Rarely Guppert-

    Anarchists?

    Used to be a popular slur back in the 20s and 30s and they do seem to be working their way backward in time, so maybe we’ll get a revival of the terror of anarchists and how we need to resist them in order to have a democracy left.

     
     

    It is nice of the right to remind us after Obama’s election just how many people still have a stick up their ass about the loss of segregation and if we’re being honest, the loss of slavery.

    We never lost slavery, we just “offshored” it.

     
     

    Anarchists?

    And then Freemasons.

     
     

    Rarely Guppert:

    The serious answer is they got nothing. They’ve been having this problem regularly of accelerating to Hitler and Nazis too fast and they really don’t have a location after that. They’ve tried oscillating back and forth between commies and nazis, combining nazis with modern fears to create things like “islamofascists” and of course combining nazis with commies and a few have tried just making long lists of “bad things” like organic-yougart-eating-environmentalist-atheist-communist-islamo-nazi-black-people-loss-of-hair but that just makes them look silly.

    So yeah, in reality, they got nowhere to escalate to and all they are doing is wearing out the potency of the words.

    The socialists would create a state that like ALL socialist states, fails miserably. Within 10-20 years, they would be begging us for food, energy, water and the basics of life. And the only way we would take them back is if they reform themselves and live by the constitution, the rule of law, and the American way of life.

    Um, no it isn’t? Is that sufficient?

    Such a simple answer, and such a COMPLETELY TRUE one to virtually everything Republicans have to say these days.

    Reading rest of thread…

     
     

    The socialists would create a state that like ALL socialist states, fails miserably.

    Several Scandinavian countries would like a word with you.

     
     

    Hmm. That last quote was me – wouldn’t do to be known as Nixon…

     
     

    When it comes to blacks and Red-baiting, I’ll never understand why so many of those assholes banged on the nonexistent ties between Martin Luther King and communism while ignoring Richard Wright, who was an actual card-carrying Communist for awhile. Maybe because they don’t know who Wright was?

    It’s funny because in “Black Boy,” as I recall, the man actually walks away from black communist movements pretty quickly and isn’t shy about criticizing them in the book… but I have a feeling that if they even know who he is, they’d just lump him in with all these other black commies.

     
     

    A GOP operative in Iowa told me bluntly, “This unforced error is detrimental. This misstatement will be the marker referenced as to when Herman Cain blew his shot at the presidency.” Social conservatives take this issue very seriously.

    I don’t like the idea of black Americans leaving us….

    These nimrods are apparently under the impression that “A Spectre is Haunting Texas” was a documentary rather than a 1969 science fiction novel. Also they may have missed the satirical nature of the radical commie Zen-Buddhist black separatist character therein.

     
     

    I haven’t clicked the link, or even read the comments; all I could think from the trusted shorter is: “this is like the Doublemint gum of wingnuttery!!! It’s two, two, two paranoid fantasies in one!”

     
     

    Also and too, if Fritz Leiber can include a radical commie Zen-Buddhist black separatist character when he was writing in 1969 in the knowledge that all his readers would appreciate the satire, this hints at the duration of the time warp in which Dr Kengor is caught.

     
     

    This also allows them to pretend that MLK’s ideas were foreign propaganda and thus the blacks weren’t really smart and self-aware enough to rise up for their own improvement and thus it’s okay to still think of them as half-formed automatons unable to survive as anything less than servile workers and victims of white authority.

    That’s only half the reason they love that theory: they also love it because they get to say “see, we’re not racist, in fact we’re enemies of the white people who’re misleading and abusing the brainwashed black masses, THEY’RE the real racists who’re using you!” It’s why they all clap and cheer when Herman Cain says it.

    History has decided that racism was a VERY bad thing, and while they want to continue being racist, they also very badly want to be exonerated from the label racist, I think. Judging by some of the wingnuts I know, few thinks infuriate them as much as being dismissed as racist, even (perhaps especially) if they are. And that’s the other half of the reason why the notion of white puppetmasters pulling the strings appeals to them so much. See, we’re not racist: what we really hate is the white guy, these black people are just misled!

    And all their obsession with “liberal elite” and rich white liberals like George Soros or Warren Buffet pulling the strings? Same thing, substituting class for race. Half-contempt for the poor and the unions and the OWS types who’re just too stupid to’ve thought this up on their own, half-“no no no no no, we don’t hate poor people, it’s just that these unfortunate souls have been misled and abused by a supervillain!”

     
     

    Anarchists?

    I have heard John Lydon is a difficult man to get along with.

    B) Nice freudian slip there, placing African-Americans as wholly separate from “Americans”. Just goes to show what happens when you use dog-whistles all your life. You’ll go and use the dog-whistle in place of the word you intended and give away the whole game.

    Roflcopter. And just in the last thread we had a conservative telling us that “in MY day, you whippersnappers, we didn’t HAVE African-Americans and Jewish-Americans and Hispanic-Americans, we were all one great big happy AMURIKUN family!”

    I know, right?

    I almost want to give him his wish just to see the look on his face.

    What you mean the left aren’t a bunch of wastrel parasites who cheer Soviet-era communism? And what do you mean its actually the right who have been parasitically sucking the money and services of the left-leaning areas with strong safety nets?

     
     

    Oh, that is the dream. We would love it too. This idiot presumes that his conservative society would survive intact while the liberals would fail because of all their socialism and communism and this is still 1950 when the only models of socialistic modeling were Russia and China.

    Nothing would please me more than to watch the red states, most of which have been on the federal dole since the New Deal and don’t show even the slightest sign of letting up on that, try to strike out and make it on their own without the FLOOD of money from New York and California that’s made it possible for them to have things as basic as roads and electricity. And then build an electrified wall alongside the Potomac just for irony’s sake.

    Alas, it’s not to be… As much as these guys love to talk about secession and no matter how full of shit their rhetoric may be, they’re not going to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs. So America will continue dragging the former Confederacy everywhere it goes like a ball and chain, not unlike France with Corsica.

    Chris-

    Yeah, I had a whole bit written up ripping apart that pile of Buchannan fail, but WP ated it.

    My favorite part was when he started on a big list of what we used to do back in Jim Crow, black and white together as one big family that had never heard of hyphens or self-respect (cause if there was anything most true of segregation, it was how well the races were integrated).

    In that list was “we all listened to the same music”

    Which I thought was great seeing as how he was referencing the time when rock music and jazz music were being demonized as the things destroying white kid’s morality with their jungle music inflaming unnatural black lusts and all that.

    Also “we cheered on the same teams” which ignored the fact that they weren’t cheering on the same leagues, because it was still the time of “negro leagues”.

    But yeah, the Americans = white people is an oldie on the right and it is always hilarious when they fuck up and insert Americans where they would normally insert “white people”.

     
     

    I almost want to give him his wish just to see the look on his face.

    Excuse me but it’s a well-known FACT that liberals are faggy women-tolerators. Where so you think they GOT the cooties?

     
     

    I’ve stopped hearing so much about MLK being a communist, and a lot more recently about how African-Americans should vote Republican because King was a registered Republican.

    See? You’re admitting to it. You’re probably lousy cooties. Listen, we don’t need to give wingnuts talking points. The economy’s bad, and no one wants frank Luntz to start stripping.

     
     

    To be fair, I don’t think the Gooper view of commies as assholes exploiting the poorest elements in society are that far off.

    What that has to do with unions or civil rights movements, I don’t know.

    How that makes the commies any different from fundies trying to bribe or addict people with “charity” or right wing talk show hosts using people’s prejudices to cheat them out of their money, I also don’t know.

    Imagine a law in the US of A requiring hardcore enforcement of Truth-In-Advertising standards in state & national politics.

    Democrats would have to rename themselves “The Special Interest Party” – but that’s not the hilarious part, not by a long shot.

    The GOP would have to run its slate under the brand-name of “The Corporate Communist Party” … golly gee, it’s even got the right initials & everything!

    For once, John “Emo-Boy” Boehner would REALLY have something to cry about.

    Also, I was just listening to Dr. Cornell West, who I admire muchedly. He was talking about having been arrested for speaking on the steps of a public building.

    It got me thinking about left wing personalities and comparing them to righties.

    I guess you’d have to compare Dr. West, professor at Princeton, scholar, author, activist for civil rights, etc x infinity to Ted Nugent, professional piece of shit.

    I never question if I’m on the right side.

    Have we heard from the upside downers lately? I’m worried they have been rapturized. Rapturated? Rapturified?

    I prefer Rapturated – has the hint of suppurated which feels appropriate.

    I gotta say, from one nation which has a history of appalling treatment of black fellas to another – your wingnuts are so much more wingnutty than ours. Most of ours are just out and out bigots, who are easy to handle: they think of it as ‘plain speaking’, when it’s simply incredibly unthinking and objectionable abuse, but still they don’t posit bizarre conspiracies involving the communist party, indigenous people, and a bunch of feral hippy architects from Uranus. No, they just holler their abuse (or mutter it into their beers), and don’t pontificate – they’re much too busy worrying about whether our Prime Minister curtsied properly to HM The Queenie. Which I’m sure you’ll understand is far more important than the rights of a few million black people.

    I don’t know anything about Australian politics, but if it’s anything like Europe, I’d say one of the big differences between European and American politics is that the center right (Labour Party, UMP) and the far right (BNP, FN) are still two different and competing things over there. Whereas in America, the two of them have basically been fused together for a generation or more.

    I went, I read. I wish … but you can’t unread.

    Here is the entire evidence presented for the idea that OWS is the most recent outgrowth of a decades-old Communist-backed conspiracy in which easily-duped university-trained liberals and blacks set up a special election in which only blacks will be allowed to vote, to create a new separatist polity in the Old South through secession:

    I deal with it constantly

     
     

    It is a little sobering to learn that the author of that piece is a professor of political science at Grove City College, a self-acclaimed “Top-ranked affordable Christian college”. Lectures must be memorable on the rare occasions when Prof. Kengor achieves coherence.

     
     

    Chris, it’s the same thing here: we’ve got the Liberal Party, which is basically soft-core conservative, the National Party, which is the same but with a hayseed flavour, and a couple of transient wanky nutbag parties that pop up and deflate a few years later.

    The left has Labor (now almost Liberal-lite) and the Greens (quite left and quite green, and also increasingly popular, getting seats here and there in both Lower and Upper houses).

    Plus about a dozen smaller parties from the Communists to some tightie-righties I’ve never bothered to learn the names of, all of which garner a few hundred votes but hang on defiantly decade after decade.

     
     

    I thought the headline was made up. It was not. Those people are insane.

    Accuse OWS of causing all the damage that Wall Street did to the world economy. Like hippies (errant white children traitors to the race) created a trillion dollars worth of garbage and then destroyed it bringing most of the world’s economies to their knees because those hippies and communist liberals encouraged darkies to buy mansions with welfare payments and food stamps.

    Hey Herman Cain, Hamid Karzai Knows Your Name
    By STEVEN LEE MYERS
    KABUL, Afghanistan – The Republican presidential campaign unexpectedly made its way to Afghanistan on Thursday when Hamid Karzai, the president of Afghanistan, brought up recent comments by Herman Cain during a meeting with Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton.

    As reporters entered the room where the two met for the usual photo opportunity, Mr. Karzai was asking Mrs. Clinton about remarks Mr. Cain made recently in a television interview with the Christian Broadcasting Network.

    “I’m ready for gotcha questions, and they’re already starting to come,” Mr. Cain said in the interview, which was broadcast on Oct. 8. “And when they ask who is the president of Ubeki-beki-beki-beki-stan-stan, I’m going to say, ‘You know, I don’t know. Do you know?’ And then I’m going to say, ‘How’s that going to create one job?’”

    Mrs. Clinton, a former presidential candidate herself, has typically avoided overtly political issues as secretary of state, but she sought to explain on Thursday.

    “He’s a former pizza company owner,” she said to Mr. Karzai.

    “Is he that?” he replied in English.

    “Oh, yes. He started something called Godfather’s Pizza,” she said.

    “Yes, I see, I see,” Mr. Karzai said.

    Mrs. Clinton then turned to the American ambassador, Ryan C. Crocker, and went on, laughingly. “The president was saying he saw a news clip about how Mr. Cain had said I don’t even know the names of all these presidents of all these countries, you know, like whatever …”

    “All the ’stans whatever,” Mr. Karzai interjected, referring to the countries of Central and Southern Asia, including his.

    “All the ’stans places,” Mrs. Clinton repeated.

    Mr. Karzai did not seem to take offense, displaying what appeared to be an astute understanding of campaigning in a democratic country. “That wasn’t right,” he said, “but anyway, that’s how politics are.”

    video is here:
    http://www.esquire.com/blogs/politics/herman-cain-karzai-video-6520690

     
     

    With all due respect, Ms. Clinton, he didn’t “start” Godfather’s Pizza.

    His successes at Burger King prompted Pillsbury to appoint him president and CEO of another subsidiary, Godfather’s Pizza. Cain arrived on April 1, 1986, and told employees, “I’m Herman Cain and this ain’t no April Fool’s joke. We are not dead. Our objective is to prove to Pillsbury and everyone else that we will survive.”[34] Aiming to cut costs, Cain, over a 14-month period, reduced the company from 911 stores to 420. As a result of his efforts, Godfather’s Pizza became profitable[citation needed]. In a leveraged buyout in 1988, Cain, Executive Vice-President and COO Ronald B. Gartlan and a group of investors, bought Godfather’s from Pillsbury. Cain continued as CEO until 1996, when he resigned. [35]

    He “uncreated” a whole bunch of individual franchise stores, and once it became profitable again, he joined a group of investors to buy it.

    gocart-

    Being an ambassador for this country must be such a humiliating job. I remember being in Denmark during the 2008 election and having to explain who this “Sarah Palin” woman was and why was she on the front page of the American News talking about white oppression.

    I can’t imagine how it is when the party across from you is one-white-cat-stroke away from full-on-supervillain enjoying your awkwardness in trying to explain the various nutjobs that make half of our political “debate”.

    Yes, Mr. President, I am well aware a potential candidate for our highest office just openly dismissed knowing of your country as a meaningless factoid because he’ll just be bombing it anyways. I urge you not to take it personally, he probably won’t win.

    I see…I will distract myself from this frightening prospect by looking up where I can import a proper white-long-hair feline.

    Of course, Mr. President. Now you also wanted to discuss about this Fox News and why it seems to think everyone with your skin color is a terrorist in training who would be better off nuked from orbit just to make sure?

     
     

    Seriously, though, some of those conversations in Denmark were just hilarious in retrospect.

    “But, isn’t it your black population which has been historically oppressed, so why is she talking about the tribulations whites have suffered?”

    “Who is this Reverand Wright, is he also running for office?”

    “Why are so many people obsessed with the religious affiliation of Barack Obama?”

    Hell, most of the questions about Sarah Palin in general. You thought Americans were frightened of the prospect of her being one failed heartbeat from the Presidency? Hoo boy, nothing compared to overseas. They were pretty much holding their breaths on that one.

     
     

    And then I’m going to say, ‘How’s that going to create one job?’”

    If, Gods forbid, you get elected you will obviously have to hire somebody who know something about what’s going on in the world around you. So that will create one job.

    It is a little sobering to learn that the author of that piece is a professor of political science at Grove City College, a self-acclaimed “Top-ranked affordable Christian college”. Lectures must be memorable on the rare occasions when Prof. Kengor achieves coherence.

    Grove City College is an odious little place. It is worth your time to read its wikipedia entry. Just one of its little quirks is that it doesn’t need to follow title IX in athletics, because not only does the college take no federal funds, it also doesn’t allow students to get federal tuition assistance of any kind. So, affordable or not, it is going to pile a whole bunch of high interest debt on its students.

    I imagine it as a place where the creepy crawlies of the reactionary right can hide from the sunlight of mean old liberals or common sense or objective reality. It has connections to lots of think tanks whose only advice is to end the minimum wage and cut taxes. It is supposed to be the second most conservative college in the US. (second only to Mussolini state?) If the John Birch society had a college, this would be it.

    You thought Americans were frightened of the prospect of her being one failed heartbeat from the Presidency? Hoo boy, nothing compared to overseas. They were pretty much holding their breaths on that one.

    They were correct to do so. Part of me did likewise.

    Like many overseas, I too know first-hand just how incredibly different each end of a loaded gun looks. The 2008 US election was only a “landslide” compared to the last one – in truth it was horrifyingly close, given just how feebly & stupidly McCain ran the marathon buffet* of steaming POOP that was his campaign … & given the level of EPIC FUBAR inherent in the potential synergy between a collapsing global economy & the not-at-all-unpredictable results of a McCain-Palin presidency.

    It may be helpful to consider that for a lot of these people, The Cold War will never end. They have a pet theory about “Teh Wounded Bear” either sneaking to victory from decline ( ICAN HAZ ZENN NINJA JIOPOLITIX NAU PLZ? ) or shooting its nuclear wad wholesale to ruin the amber waves of Rust Belt grainlike things in a fatalistic Crazy Slav blaze of glory.

    Plus, all those SLBMs & SLCMs make a bitchen security-blanket, silly libs!

    Was thinking last night that if you thought what you saw in the sex scenes in R rated movies was realistic, and you had no other information, you would probably have the mistaken impression that all women have vaginal orgasms, every time they have sex, at the same the time the man does, and make the mistake of wondering what your problem is. Now you see more intimations of oral sex, but the sex scenes still lie like cheap rugs.

    That’s what you get for working graveyards. If it’s not jackhammers, it’s a four hour symphony of gas-powered blowers and weed-wackers. My all time favorite was six months after I moved into a rental house in East Austin (a neighborhood that was being gentrified) I woke up to the sound of a man outside my window scraping paint off the side of this huge clapboard house with a manual scraper. About as close as I’ve ever come to wanting to push a man off of a ladder. It went on for a month, then I just moved in with some Earth Firsters across the street until I could find an affordable apartment.

    Nobody cares—it’s something o’clock in the morning. People who do things in the morning are better than you, even if they’re selling swizzle sticks and you’re driving an ambulance—they’re better than you.

    Enjoy the anti-suicide netting around your factory:

    In a speech in Detroit today, Herman Cain introduced another component to his 9-9-9 plan: opportunity zones. In those zones – which would be given to economically-distressed areas – there would be certain benefits, such as “deductions to employers for the total amount of payroll employed within in the Zone, subject to income limits,” and “anyone living in the Zone will get a deduction (not a credit) and anyone working in the Zone will get a deduction (subject to income limits),” and “means tested bene?ts should be restructured or reformed so they don’t counteract the incentives for work.”

    One in five mothers have had to skip an obligation to stay home with their diaperless child?

Fuckers refuse to fix it under their recall/extended warranty plan too, even though it seems to meet all their requirements. Want to charge me mega-$$$ to fix a nearly worthless laptop, yeah, uh no thanks. I’ll just buy a netbook or something for a tiny fraction of teh cost. At least I’m vigilant about backups.

    The idea of baking the motherboard in the oven does have a certain visceral appeal, even if it doesn’t fix it.

    Chargers will go and play the J.E.T.S. Jets this weekend. This week, super genius and full time douchebag and Jets coach Rex Ryan informed the San Diego media that if he had won the SD coaching job over Norv Turner, he would most definitely have won a Super Bowl or two by now.

    Might be an interesting game, since little Phil Phil likes to jack jaw as much as Big Sexy Rexy.

    It’s at the regional Apple service center already. No genius bar nearby, just a local Mac store that doesn’t seem to be able to really do anything besides sell iPads.

    The “easy fix” is supposed to be free, but it’s not easy — a new logic board (motherboard). The video card is soldered on and was a crap unit that was very quietly “recalled but not really recalled” — there was actually a class action suit against nVidia over it. Apple are evidently quite reluctant to actually fix them for free. There are several long threads about it on the Apple support forums.

    I’m still considering calling corporate customer relations, but I’ve already wasted too much time on it.

    “President Obama’s astonishing failure to secure an orderly transition in Iraq has unnecessarily put at risk the victories that were won through the blood and sacrifice of thousands of American men and women. The unavoidable question is whether this decision is the result of a naked political calculation or simply sheer ineptitude in negotiations with the Iraqi government. The American people deserve to hear the recommendations that were made by our military commanders in Iraq.”

    jim:

    It may be helpful to consider that for a lot of these people, The Cold War will never end.

    A bit of a late response, but of course it won’t.

    The Cold War was amazing for the right-wing. It provided an unending and dramatic “Existential Threat” against which no amount of military expense would be enough, which could be used to justify any invasion of a small nation you wanted to push around to demonstrate the might of your penis (they would have fell to communism, if we hadn’t invaded), and which was constantly threatening the heartland.

    Additionally, it could be used to fulfill any amount of paranoid fantasies, infiltration, or apocalyptic thinking. This was a huge organization and they were crazy and everything was on the brink of a knife’s edge. Wanted to believe you’d go to Heaven without risking your soul on a life-long lived on Earth? Cold War had you covered. Wanted to worry about semi-plausible oppressions that weren’t happening but could in order to justify not giving a fuck about actual oppressions? Cold War gots you covered. Sure, it’s still a little obvious, but hey, worrying about Fluoride being a commie plot may not be too crazy, after all, those commies had some nutjob ideas sometimes on how to bring down the US.

    And socially?

    It was like Christmas. You had the infiltration fear based purges which single handedly destroyed all economically-left-leaning activism in this country. The Red Scare was a glorious cover to jail the entire political edifice of one’s enemies, which led to the slow death of a true economic left in this country, any real counterbalance to corporate corruption.

    Hell, they even managed to knock out the Unions as they started to purge themselves for America and thus knocked out anyone who still believed in the ideas of a Union and could best protect it against attack.

    And it served as a great all-purpose weapon against social activists from the left. Since the commies were all about equality of man, any social movement unapproved of by the right must have been infiltrated by commies or run by commies. You had free reign to infiltrate and destroy and defame anyone who called for positive cultural change and were able to argue that pushing for monoculture in entertainment was actually just standing up for America. Same thing for straight up white supremacism. You were just fighting the fight at home against communist infiltration and takeover.

    And religiously? Commies were atheists, which meant anything bad in religion that wasn’t yours. You had a great bully tool to attack the people starting to fade away from the church pews as long as you raised up capitalism as a God. It was a Devil’s bargain most churches seized immediately. And they were very much rewarded. Upholding moral standards in the fight against communism allowed a strong lock on culture for at least a decade, erasing the acknowledgments of divorce, abortion, homosexuality, criminality, black people, interracial romances, and so on that had started to be acknowledged in entertainment. Now in the moral fight on communism, you could stamp it out and pretend every life was leave it to beaver and no held a religion other than christianity. You even got to erase the nasty black spot on the record that was Hitler’s religious crusade on behalf of God. People needed a connection between bad guys, so you could just lay that on his “atheist and pagan” nature and equate him with the current bad guys the Ruskies.

    It made campaigning a breeze. You could support openly criminal culture-warriors and belligerant psychotics, because it made sense to want a “strong leader” who wouldn’t “look weak” to the Ruskies and it made sense to hide away all real problems because the Ruskies made fun of internal conflict so electing a man who simply promised to lie about everything that was happening and say it was all wonderful looked like a master strategist who really knew how to take it to the Ruskies.

    You even got a connection to anti-asian oppression, because the Chinese instantly replaced the Japanese and everyone knows those slanty-eyed bastards look alike.

    And they won big, the aforementioned erasure of the economic left, election of figures like Nixon and Reagan who got to work setting time bombs everywhere that made it nearly impossible to fix their reigns, a great tool by which to bludgeon Democrats until they were reflexively frightened of even standing up for their basic principles (no, don’t call me commie again, I’ll be good), a single-hand mental compartamentalization for rationalizing sexism, racism, homophobia, a desire to destroy the country just to hurt one’s enemies, and of course the huge coup of entirely capturing the religious in this country, tying much of religion to support of an insane form of capitalism and far-right social movements, thus allowing one to continue to pump them for votes simply by throwing a few Jesus bones out and supporting what you wanted to support already.

    Since the Wall fell, the right has been scrambling to find something that can replicate that glorious success for them, but have come up short. Things like Islam are too obviously weak to be an existential threat and commies becomes increasingly archaic and ranting about government is quickly crumbling as a dog whistle.

    They are still at the moment riding the major infrastructure victories they still carry from that time, but I think they know that it will only be so long before anyone who remembers commies as something to fear will be gone and before the idea of religion itself becomes so poisoned that liberal religions will either directly split away and recruit themselves or religion itself will be seen as something that is a sign of poor moral character.

    Not to mention how much capitalism worship is beginning to rust in the light of the day and without the fear of the commie to keep us supporting terrible ideas simply out of patriotism.

    Probably why so many right-wing candidates right now seem to be running on how eagerly they would press the button to reignite a nice World War III again.

     
     

    You near a Genius Bar?

    do. not. like. the one time i was at one, they were supercilious little twerps…i do not appreciate attitude…

    Trust me, they’re supercilious little twerps even when you’re not there.

     
     

    Also, Illuminati Repton, I got a bone to pick with you!

    You got me turned on to manboobz*

    And now I know about the “Men Going Their Own Way” movement, which are guys who’ve decided that since women being whores who drain money and bodily fluids from the men they date, the best way to hurt them back is to deny them the glorious company of a complete sexist douchebag who thinks women have cooties.

    Now, it may seem like this is just a nice reward to women, because who wants to spend any time with complete tools who weren’t getting anyways! Well, no, see they are going to do male-bonding things instead, maybe even go gay for choice just to show women (but they aren’t gay, they swear, that’d be faggy). And they’ll convince every guy everywhere to also join them in the He-Man Woman’s Hater Club and cut off the cock supply to “swing sexual power” back their way. So, while they’re having a big gay orgy, women will be forced to come back, hat in hand and apologize for thinking they are human beings and worth more than a cum dumpster.

    Well, given the whole belief in gay as a choice and apparently the whole reverse Lysistrata thing, you’d probably wonder, what’s to stop women in this magical kingdom from just going gay themselves and cutting out douchebag men entirely, seeing as how sexual and romantic orientations are illusory in a Matrix sort of way.

    I mean, you’d be hate-fucking some man just to show the bitches and they’re all laughing it up in a lesbian orgy while they try on each other’s flannel and plan U-haul routes.

    Well, the frightened chipmunks of this movement have the answer:

    Lesbians don’t exist.

    Brilliant!

    And if they did they couldn’t meet sexual needs. And really, they couldn’t meet sexual needs, women only have needs for stealing male money and draining precious bodily fluids for communists. So maybe there’s one or two lesbians out there who are basically just men and fulfilling the male role, but the women will totally still be out there waiting to suck their cock.

    I must say, I encourage all douchebags who shiver at the thought of your cum dumpster asking for cuddles to join this movement. Remember not to give in until women are begging you to join regular society. Weakness of resolve is a sign that the feminine drugs they implanted in you are taking hold. You must be endlessly vigilant and remember all those happy heterosexual, bisexual, and homosexual relationships are just figments of your imagination. As are all lesbian sex scenes.

    Seriously, though, I thought the wingnuts quoted here were disconnected from reality.

    *And there’s the long, slow, lob over the plate.

     
     

    cut off the cock supply to “swing sexual power” back their way.

    Brilliant strategy. I predict a huge win here.

     
     

    Cock Supply was big on AM radio in the late 70s. As I remember it.

    Love how Fox News has essentially become one-stop shopping for disgraced Republican public figures to get their makeovers and become “one of the tribe again”.

    It’s like they are playing a game, wondering how blatantly they can be the propaganda and image-refurbishment team for the GOP before they finally get some manner of official rebuke.

    Hell, with our corporate personhood laws, I’m half-expecting Fox News to be the official Republican vice presidental candidate in 2012.

     
     

    Cerebus, isn’t that ADORABLE?

    Fucking lesbians: how do they work?

     
     

    Trust me, they’re supercilious little twerps even when you’re not there.

    ROFL!

    OK, but seriously, bbfk, you can’t let them intimidate you or whatever it is they make you feel. I flat-out refuse to be embarrassed in situations like that.

    When hubby and I started, erm, “fine dining,” I refused to feel uncomfortable. If I had a question, I asked it. Period. Never once did someone look at me as if there were lobsters crawling out of my ears.

    Just approach those folks with earnestness and confidence. And if they don’t treat you respectfully, FINISH THEM.

     
     

    Just approach those folks with earnestness and confidence

    To quote grandpa__B, born 1885 in the Russian Empire and died 1970 in the Bronx, “Walk like you expect the air to part in front of you”.

     
     

    OK, this is depressing me.

    A couple weeks back, I mentioned the (cooking) “Holy Trinity” on my blog. So I went to Wiki to make sure I wasn’t getting it horribly wrong. And along with the Holy Trinity of Cajun/Creole cooking, there was this long list of the Holy Trinities of cuisines all over the world. Now that list appears to be gone. WTF?

     
     

    Since the Wall fell, the right has been scrambling to find something that can replicate that glorious success for them, but have come up short.

    Which is why they continue to talk about socialism as the number one enemy (see also Obama, Occupy Wall Street, and all that bullllllllllshit). It’s hilariously sad (for their voters at least): they seem to be actually more terrified of socialism now than they were during the Cold War.

    That entire summary of Cold War politics was quite spot on, and it always makes me wonder what would’ve happened if FDR had used anti-fascist hysteria during World War Two the same way. I mean, there was definitely war hysteria and it had some ugly consequences, but it was never used as a partisan weapon (that was the innovation with McCarthy & co). Imagine if Democrats had gone all-out in attacking Republicans as “fascist sympathizers,” brandishing lists of “card-carrying fascists” in the GOP or on Wall Street, and generally encouraged that kind of hysteria… might it have damaged the Republican brand as seriously as McCarthyism damaged us?

    Not necessarily saying it would’ve been a good idea, but still worth thinking about. God knows they’d have had to do a lot less making-shit-up to tie Republicans and big business to the Nazis, than the Republicans did tying communism to us.

    BTW, I was poking around Amazon today and found these collections of retro candy. I’m not a big candy eater…but I think this would be a really thoughtful gift for someone who is. Also fun for mixing things up at Halloween.

    But mostly I just think candy is fun.

     
     

    Mittens haz a sad because we’re leaving Iraq:

    Romney does not like the idea of a US victory? Snarky people are going to wonder about his loyalties.

    Romney wants US troops occupying a country against the wishes of its free, independent, democratic government? (we know the Iraqi govt. is free, independent & democratic because that’s what the troops invaded to achieve).

    Nothing honours the sacrifices of people who have died in Iraq like continuing an occupation so that more people can get killed.

     
     

    vacuumslayer-

    I think the best part is that their worldview is basically based on the mutability of sexual desire, that heterosexual men can choose to be asexual or homosexual for a long time so that their choice celibacy hurts their intended victims more than themselves, but seem to have never considered that the same would apply to women in this insane world.

    What? I know we were just projecting onto Lysistrata, but women aren’t allowed to boycott us, that’s just unfair. And they can’t just turn lesbian, that would ruin all my plans, so they don’t exist and women will too be demanding to suck my cock as long as I hold out long enough.

    It’s just so gloriously puerile and pathetic.

    The guys who don’t even believe in female sexual desire are even better (even though they have the same frightening, sex is an exchange of force with one person tricking another into giving up the goods rape culture shtick), because they seem unaware of the idea that the gold-digger stereotype is a)not really a real thing for the most part and b) not a universal female trait that replaces sex drives or a desire for companionship. Additionally, they seem to think a woman being denied the “welfare” of his money won’t just, you know, take his job instead and support her damn self rather than bend over backwards to be his whore for his expired coupons to Arby’s.

    Overall, it is just an amazing look into how far people will go to not have to change their insane and impossible worldviews and life-choices.

    My idea is not based in reality, you say? Well, damnitt, I will disbelieve in as many lesbians, female orgasms, and women’s ability to work outside of the home as I need to to make it a reality!

     
     

    cut off the cock supply to “swing sexual power” back their way.

    Reverse-lysistrata policy assumes unbroken male solidarity with no-one breaking the cock-blockade and bringing comfort to the enemy. Good luck with that.

     
     

    Yes, but in order for us to come running after to them, wouldn’t that depend on us being so hungry for cock we could just couldn’t hold out on anymore, thus making their “women NEVAR EVAR enjoy sex” theory null and void?

     
     

    Chris:

    Well based on the UK, which did just a little of the fascist hysteria thing, we’d probably have gotten socialized medicine and a strong economic safety net.

    But hey, it is what it is.

     
     

    That’s the problem with MRA and various groups sympathetic to their cause, whatever the fuck that is, is that they have to hold so many beliefs that are anathema to each other. I always thought the cognitive dissonance was crazy bad in wingnuts…but the manosphere fuckfaces take it to new, impressive level.

     
     

    vacuumslayer-

    You would think so. But there are more compartments in a wingnuts mind than there are stars in the sky.

    I think they rationalize it as their unending hunger for men’s wallets (what with being incapable of working outside the home or surviving without a man’s paycheck and all) and the chance to drain men of their precious bodily fluids (apparently pregnancy is just a huge con, with either women exploiting it for massive alimony payments and state welfare by having kids or for the chance to have abortions which are like the greatest activity ever, what with the free party hats and free Satan) would be what will be causing them to be hungry for cock and waiting outside the door.

    Smut-

    Yes, even if everything in the Universe worked the way they wanted, it wouldn’t work the way they wanted it.

     
     

    Yeah, but a lot of these same guys will also make the “boys in crisis” argument that women are graduating from college at a higher rate than men, doing better in school (at all levels) generally, and are eschewing marriage–BITCHES!!!–for high-powered careers and poly-cat companionship.

     
     

    vacuumslayer-

    I always thought the cognitive dissonance was crazy bad in wingnuts…but the manosphere fuckfaces take it to new, impressive level.

    I know, right?

    I knew a lot of it, but I had never really dipped into the super-insane shit so I was unaware that they had found whole new levels of batshit that make “commies are behind OWS and blacks taking over the South” guy look like a lucid clear thinker with well-reasoned ideas.

    It’s kind of a wakeup call that all the anti-feminist trolls I had encountered so far in their “women are mental children” and “gayness doesn’t exist” and “all sex should be commodity based and attraction really works like rape by coercion” ways were just the lucid and reasonable tips of the icebergs.

     
     

    My ex-wife was a liberal almost all the time, but for some reason she disliked gay men. She thought they were “turning away from the woman” out of spite.

    Which, come to think of it, might not be a bad strategy for the bitchers about bitches.

     
     

    Yeah, and I actually don’t think a lot of those dudes believe what they write. I think they have online presence for a reason. I think they say these things with the intent to wound, but to first and foremost SHUT WOMEN UP. That’s a big of part of the whole “all feminists are fat and ugly” tack. Well, gosh. Nobody wants to be fat and ugly (that I know of).

     
     

    Nobody wants to be fat and ugly

    Many trolls haz sads.

     
     

    Yes, but in order for us to come running after to them, wouldn’t that depend on us being so hungry for cock we could just couldn’t hold out on anymore, thus making their “women NEVAR EVAR enjoy sex” theory null and void?

    No, it depends on in I flex this here muscle.

    HMMMMMPHFFFFF!

    You can’t resist it.

     
     

    Biggest male FAIL:

    Hatin’ on lesbians while being voracious consumers of lesbian porn.

     
     

    Yeah, and I actually don’t think a lot of those dudes believe what they write

    Seriously, though, there really exists a helpless feeling of a loss of control by men. That’s why they hate feminists–they’re under the misguided impression that women once needed men. The way society was set up prior to the 60s and 70s, that was essentially true. The hating shit is all part of the grief process. Anger and denial, specifically.

     
     

    vacuumslayer-

    Well, yeah, first rule of wingnuts of all types is that it is projection always, 100% of the time.

    So the group that spends day in and day out complaining about how feminists are taking away their freedom of speech and just want them to sit back and take an unequal state of affairs are just airing their projection of their desire to get women to shut up once and for all about an equal state of affairs and return quietly to 1950s gender roles like they are supposed to.

    See also all the whining about how 1950s gender roles are the “scientifically proven” equivalence point of men and women that we will gravatate to naturally as soon as feminists stop bitching about how they actually feel and just surrender to it like good whores.

    Given the universality of the “its always projection” rule, I wonder if the craziness of any group of conservative activists can be directly tied to the obviousness of the cause they are fighting agains and how much society has already accepted as given the tenets of the side they are fighting for.

    Much like how anti-gay forces seem to have stepped up their insanity game now that they are starting to strongly lose the court of public opinion.

    For the “traditional family” fighters trying to return us to the standards of 50s television and the days when women were property and knew better than to be anything else, the sheer impossibility of their task causes the insane projection to shoot into the previously unknown, showing that there really is a hole with no bottom.

    You are forgetting that only MRA’s have worthy and worthwhile cocks, and teh cocks of those effete femi-Nazi sympathizers are totes unsatisfying, what with their consideration of sexual partners as actual human beings and all. Plus MRA’s are honourable and will stand in solidarity with their bros before hos. They are totes not complete losers who can’t get laid and are so desperate that they’d fuck anything that wasn’t going to press charges afterwards.

    It’s troo. I read it on teh intartrons.

    vacuumslayer-

    Well, one of my good friends who is a feminist lesbian (!) has been falling into the nice-guy/PUA/shithead crowd.

    The appeal is actually a pretty good hook. They promise that sex will be easy if you start believing in this bullshit worldview, that all the shyness or the risk of rejection will disappear as long as you believe in the cult teachings and start your way down the rabbit hole.

    So you start using the techniques and of course, they don’t work in granting what you want (usually a meaningful relationship with love and respect, but could even just be fulfilling sex with a non-coerced partner who actually enjoys it and wants to try out more), but all the cultural messages are saying it works and all that you are being asked to swallow is pretty rancid if it isn’t true, so you start doubling down, continuing the tactics, becoming more distanced from women and the type of relationships you want and you need to double down more else you’re just an asshole who’s wasted a bunch of your life following bullshit.

    And now this bullshit is getting threatening, because if you are in the tribe, you’re a man and a top dog, and you have access to all the homosocial support that in this country can be so important for men thanks to sexist systems of oppression that create things like “men’s clubs” in businesses and the like.

    So you can’t leave, otherwise, you are the vagina, and you have spent weeks and months soaking in a culture of how the vagina is a target of the hunt, the raped and the abused, the negged and the worthless. If you leave, you’ll be worthless and besides, all the promises are that you’ll be rolling in the pussy anyday now.

    Continue with that long enough and they’ll start giving you enemies for why you aren’t rolling in the pussy. Feminists trying to screw up the game, gynocracies designed to cut out beta males and Nice Guys TM, the loss of societal masculinity.

    Eventually, the pressures of conforming to an ever-escalating show of masculinity by violent hatred of women that is also demanding proof of rolling in the pussy because of it, leads to ever hightening expansions of violence, until you’re ready to shoot up anyone that ever got near to an ex-girlfriend who was foolish to think you were a “project” that “could be saved”.

    So yeah, that’s how they get hooked while young.

     
     

    Mittens haz a sad because we’re leaving Iraq

    Mitten can fuck himself with a flaming baton. He’ll just have to drink somebody else’s blood—the blood-sucking s.o.b.

    I sent a letter to the White House today expressing how pleased I was with this news and asking if the administration is planning anything to mark this special occasion because this country needs to have a party—the happy kind—not the shit we’ve got.

    Bring them all home by Christmas. Merry, merry, merry Christmas, Happy Hanuka, Happy Holidays, whatever you say about Kwanza—hallelujah.

    Also expressed my wish that the soldiers would no longer be serving more than two dangerous tours, and those that have could get a chance to serve in a country that we’re not at war with (would that exclude the U.S.?), or get out and get a decent job. I forgot to mention school. I have no idea if they get a G.I. type bill, or what.

    Am working on another, more serious letter considering veteran’s care and the utterly craptakular state of Tri-care insurance for veterans. Got to call my rep’s office, and the DAV and get some information then prepare my letter for Senator Ron Wyden with…a drum roll, please….numbers and dates. shudder.

    The guys who have done multiple tours and are getting out should be taken care of, with no delay, at no cost to them. No excuse for them to be wandering around, fighting to get medical or psychological care, after the extreme and prolonged stress they’ve been through. We’re going to have to talk about the brutality of stop-loss and these people doing four or five tours in official and unofficial combat zones, sooner or later, and I think this is a good time—before they all come home from Iraq.

    Anyone with ideas, information, sources, personal stories, or contacts with veterans who served multiple tours in Iraq and/or Afghanistan, please let me know.

    Thank you for your consideration,

    wileywitch

     
     

    Sonuvabitch!

    FYWP ate a long post explaining how non-MRAs get sucked into being MRAs.

    Basically, the shorter me is PUA and bitches ain’t shit worldviews are sold to men and some lesbian women who aren’t getting any and feel they are too nervous or too scared of risking rejection to be normal and do what works or are in that “No one will ever want me, I’ll never get laid/meet someone to spend my life with” state you do when you are young or haven’t gotten laid or dated for awhile.

    That bad decision then gets reinforced with acceptance of really toxic masculinity that a) makes you incredibly undesireable to women, b) kind of a rapist, thus ensuring whatever sexual encounters you do get are unsatisfying and brief affairs, and c) make the idea of leaving the worldview really hard.

    This c) part is because you’d have to acknowledge you wasted time you could have spent in decent relationships, maybe even sacrificed some good chances at a meaningful relationship on garbage and potential rapes. So to protect your mind from that and the threat of being made into the “woman” role by your old friends and what they view of those in the women role, including the violent urges and desire to rape, keeps you in and keeps you doubling down on evil until you are ranting about how lesbians are fictional and women are just sperm vampires who can only love money and how you totally aren’t lonely and wishing you could just be held and told that everything is all right.

     
     

    So basically it comes down to their being fantastically unsuccessful with women, which is what I always assumed.

     
     

    It was bad enough when I got off active duty in 1991 and couldn’t get a job.

    I can’t even imagine how tough the job market is going to be for these people coming back from Iraq.

     
     

    Overall, it is just an amazing look into how far people will go to not have to change their insane and impossible worldviews and life-choices.

    Many of these throwback men don’t believe in Darwin’s theory of Evolution, but they like them some lame socio-biology (Did you know that ducks rape? Hmm? Case closed.It's natural for men to rape women (and girls)), and they think they believe in Social Darwinism. Of course they should dominate, because they are bigger and stronger than women. But Darwin didn’t say that the biggest and strongest prevail.

    “It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change.”

    liberal women 1 conservative men 0

     
     

    But Darwin didn’t say that the biggest and strongest prevail.

    Otherwise we’d be up to our necks in Tyrannosaurus right about now.

    But, again, that’s at odds with a lot of their “Alpha, Beta, Zeta, Pi, Pookie, Wookie, Muffy, Tuffy” system. Because a lot of them complain of being Betas, which I imagine would make them evolutionary losers (according to how they understand it, which apparently is not at all).

    You know what’s also natural? My desire to punch scores of people in the throat. Yet I don’t do it. What’s up with that?

     
     

    My grandfather deserted my grandmother and was possibly Southern mafia and may or may not have lost a couple of fortunes. SUPER-CLASSY.

    Oh geez, Chris, I don’t know. It all sounds very weird and distant to me. There’s A. LOT. of stuff that went down on both sides of my family that could easily be in some juicy “great American novel.”

     
     

    What’s baffling to me is that apparently a lot of these guys are YOUNG. Very young. So what’s what with nostalgia for something they never experienced?

    The socially backwards nerd in high school, gets an “ugh” and an eye roll when he tries to talk to the pretty girls, resentment…

    Juxtapose that with pop culture forcefeeding them the “bitchez and hos all want me” bullshit…perfect recipe for a little ball of hate and resentment who thinks blowing his load all over a girl’s face is something that women deserve. Where do you think the desire for anal sex comes from? Strictly a domination thing.

     
     

    Are girls routinely that mean? I was always really nice to all the nerds in high school. I saw no reason not to be.

     
     

    So basically it comes down to their being fantastically unsuccessful with women, which is what I always assumed.

    The concise explanation…

    Some people just take rejection way too personally.

     
     

    Are girls routinely that mean? I was always really nice to all the nerds in high school. I saw no reason not to be.

    No, they aren’t. But if you’re that kid who just tries way too hard, gets stuck on the girl who isn’t attracted to you, or just happens to stumble across a stuck up bitch, that can all get started that way.

    Also, I’m guessing you picked up a few stalkers along the way…

     
     

    “No, they aren’t. But if you’re that kid who just tries way too hard, gets stuck on the girl who isn’t attracted to you, or just happens to stumble across a stuck up bitch, that can all get started that way.”

    That’s the weird part for me. Granted, it hasn’t happened a lot, but I have been hurt by men. But I’ve never taken that as a sign that all men suck. Recognizing that all men are, you know, INDIVIDUALS.

     
     

    But, again, that’s at odds with a lot of their “Alpha, Beta, Zeta, Pi, Pookie, Wookie, Muffy, Tuffy” system.

    Our good friend MRAL offered his explanation for this. You see, he may be an Omega is the current system that’s been rigged by the “fymynysts”, but his strength and intelligence would make him an Alpha in an unspoiled environment.

     
     

    Yeah, well, look on the conservative side of the aisle. ALL muslims are terrorist. Gays are pedophiles. Women are things you ride like an ATV….

    Some people see life in broad generalizations that defy reality. That’s how people like W get elected president.

    How many racists have you encountered with the same old crime victim story? Generally the story is complete bullshit, and everyone knows that’s not an excuse to hate a whole race of people, yet that sort of thing isn’t all that uncommon.

     
     

    That’s the weird part for me. Granted, it hasn’t happened a lot, but I have been hurt by men. But I’ve never taken that as a sign that all men suck. Recognizing that all men are, you know, INDIVIDUALS.

    OK, Spear, I’m kind of new to the MRA ranking system. What is an Omega?

     
     

    I reckon all the dumb assholes who complain that women are just gold-diggers and men are just dogs should get together.

     
     

    OK, Spear, I’m kind of new to the MRA ranking system. What is an Omega?

    I’m not sure if this applies anywhere outside of MRAL’s fevered imagination, but an “Omega” is someone at the bottom of the heap who can’t possibly get anyone from their desired gender.

    Omega men are people like him who are ostracised for their (in his case) lack of height, facial asymmetry and so on (Not, notably, his clearly expressed views of women).

    Omega women are fat women full stop. In his mind, Omega men are oppressed, but Omega women should get no sympathy because they could easily become Betas or even Alphas if they got some exercise and didn’t eat as much.

     
     

    I reckon all the dumb assholes who complain that women are just gold-diggers and men are just dogs should get together.

    I think they generally do end up together. They often subsequently appear on TruTV for one reason or another.

    “I think they generally do end up together. They often subsequently appear on TruTV for one reason or another.”

    ROFL!!!!!

     
     

    Ok, the out and out hatred of fat women is something g I’ve never understood. You not attracted to fat women? That’s fine. People are allowed to have preferences. But the cruelty and loathing I’ll never get.

     
     

    Oh, and thank you, Spear.

     
     

    Me either, except when they’re BITCHES!

    Organized crime is everywhere, only the traditions and people change. My best friend growing up told me his dad used to play poker with a bunch of guys from the Chicago Outfit, and that they were pretty much cool as long as you stayed out of their shit. He gave us some lessons in poker, that’s for sure – even if we were only playing for change. That taught me that I do not have a good poker face. He always kicked our ass.

     
     

    Well, HE’S ALWAYS THERE. I think we’re all studying that asshole.

    Well, that sounds weird…

     
     

    ” best friend growing up told me his dad used to play poker with a bunch of guys from the Chicago Outfit, and that they were pretty much cool as long as you stayed out of their shit. He gave us some lessons in poker”

    OK that last was way upthread.

    I must admit that I was every kind of dork, dweeb and spazz that these shitheads complain about but I GOT FUCKING OVER IT. And I learned a bit about being more social in college, as well as hooking up with a woman about 10 years older who taught me what was what.

    “Bookmarked that, libs!”

    A poker shill is someone who aggressively sells andirons and other fireplace accessories.

     
     

    Damn you for making me laugh at a joke that dumb

     
     

    A shill is a player that sits at the poker table but is paid by the house to do it. They keep the tables full and keep people playing because you need a critical mass of players at a table to keep the play going.

     
     

    They get a small wage and get to keep their winnings.

     
     

    Oh, ok. A poker seat-filler.

    OK, Spear, I’m kind of new to the MRA ranking system. What is an Omega?

    Ultimately comes from Ethology and the talk of alpha wolves and beta wolves and so forth, because canid behaviour is such a useful guide for a primate society.

    All filtered through that kind of pop ethology that projects one’s ideas of an ideal society onto wolves or baboons or some other animal species that’s never done us any harm, and takes the resulting beam-in-the-eye misunderstanding of animal behaviour as a justification for human social iniquity.

    Broiled cod steaks au naturel. Finely diced shallot and a few tarragon leaves go into a broil safe pan. Cod filets, sprinkled with salt and pepper get laid on top. Pour about 1/3 inch dry French vermouth into pan. Dot the tops of the fish chunks with butter. Under the broiler until the top of the fish is slightly browned and the juices are syrupy. Remove fish, add a big dollop of butter and a slight squeeze of lemon juice. Whisk over heat to make a light liaison, drizzle over teh fitchy.

    I used to hear “I bet you left a trail of broken hearts a mile wide” a whole lot for a long time. I had no idea what they were talking about, and said as much. It really puzzled me. In my mid-thirties I got an earful from a woman friend who was a friend of a man I went out with. She told me I really hurt him. I had no idea that he was serious about me and wanted to keep seeing me. Why didn’t he say so? Also, some of the sexual activity he suggested didn’t strike me as romantic. I was shocked.

    I don’t mean to be mean, but most of my life it’s been true that if I’m not interested in a man, I’m totally oblivious to his overtures. Guess it’s because I have had a lot of male friends and a lot of ADHD.

    I’ve been hurt a couple of times, but never got dumped. Kinda makes me afraid that I will be. Oh, god, no, spare me—this is the one for the rest of our life. Unless we die together.

    I also love how so many of the MRA types on the looney-end of the fence seem to think that a) feminism is responsible for 1950s patriarchal problems b) but we need to return to 1950s patriarchy to solve all our issues and c) Betty Draper and Mad Men is a current era documentary.

    Going through the manboobz archive (which should totally be a euphemism for something), there’s lots of complaining about how “women just want to spread their legs and shoot out kids” and “lack any ability to go into the real world and work” and “see how Betty Draper is affected by feminism’s obsession with the sex culture” and “feminists are responsible for a sex transaction culture that is cutting out the beta males because all of the alphas have harems of semi-hot feminists” and so on.

    Which, um, feminism fought and still fights against a lot of it. The idea that a woman should be forced to stay at home and raise kids rather than have the option to work and have a career and validation outside of the home, the idea that a woman is more than a sex object, the idea that sex should be a mutual affair and that both parties can explore monogamy or polyamory as it suits them and their relationships, the movement away from having to tolerate someone who mistreats you because “you’ll never do better”, and so on.

    Which, yeah, MRA whining about how feminists are against the things that feminists are for and MRAs aren’t is par for the course, but it starts getting time-travel silly when they start whining about how they’re getting fucked over by plain-old-fashioned sexism which is quickly becoming archaic and it’s all feminism and the sexual revolution’s fault.

    Yes, feminists should really start working on the feminine mystique and allowing women to work in any other field than as a man’s brood mare. We’ll get right on that, wise old MRAs.

    Oh wait, you’re ranting about how that’s evil because it’s the reason you don’t have a woman to use as a brood-mare, if you could get one, not that you want one, because they are all bitches.

    I know, I know, par for the course, but there is a certain level.

     
     

    I reckon all the dumb assholes who complain that women are just gold-diggers and men are just dogs should get together.

    I think they generally do end up together. They often subsequently appear on TruTV for one reason or another.

    Okay, then. WTF is a green Manalishi with a two-prong crown?

    I reckon all the dumb assholes who complain that women are just gold-diggers and men are just dogs should get together.

    Well, they do, but being both nominally heterosexual dudes with severe issues about “being the woman” in a relationship, they never seem to pair off.

    Cause that’s the thing, most of the people who hold the vile views of women tend to be the same people who hold vile views of men, believing them to be out-of-control animals, unable to prevent themselves from raping anyone in a short skirt, as unthinking brutes who must punch through their problems or are unable to muster the intelligence to treat a woman with genuine respect and grow as a person and be fully human.

    Those who view men as dogs tend to be the exact same people who view women as gold-diggers, though they may occasionally make an exception for themselves.

    No, I’m not a gold-digger or I’m not an animal, so why won’t those bitches/fellow sexists love me?

    And the female sexists tend to just be trying to play “the good woman” to the He-man woman-hater clubs in the hopes that they’ll be made honorary men and spared the oppression they’re heaping on the rest of the women and thus will be allowed some small amount of privileges as scraps from the table (see also Sarah Palin and Phyllis Schaffley).

    But yeah, overall the deep and abiding issue is the same one with all these wingnuts.

    They don’t want to address their privilege. They don’t want to hear about it. They don’t want to think about it. They don’t want society to continue evolving and leaving them behind. And they certainly don’t want the systems they place to punish the filthy minorities in question to come back and inconvenience them in anyways.

    And often they want to expand the oppression to punish minorities for “talking back” and various imagined crimes, but they would be expanding the oppression anyways to lift themselves higher and trying to make themselves feel better about their bland mediocre lives on this floating rock even if the minorities gave them the society they demanded.

    And above all, they want to act like they are being oppressed for it. They want to claim the moral authority and be welcomed as heroes whenever they tell a minority group to sit down and shut up or to stop whining about oppression this or oppression that. They want to be cheered for oppression, never encounter a differing opinion, a slight break in the fantasy and they want to embark on fantastical adventures of imaginary slights and oppressions that should be treated as real, vague projections they conjure to alleviate their guilt (demonstrated by more oppressive times having even stronger projection conspiracy theories about the minority groups in question).

    And they want to be able to torture, kill, beat, harrangue, stalk, and use every tool of official and unofficial authority to beat down and wear down minorities into submission.

    And they want to be hailed as Gods, triumphing over a terrible foe that was doing real damage to their everything at the same exact time.

    And that is the shorter every single right-wing comment ever written in the whole of human history.

     
     

    Do I know what it is? No. Do I give a shit? No. Does it rock? FUCK YEAH!

     
     

    The idea that a woman should be forced to stay at home and raise kids rather than have the option to work and have a career and validation outside of the home…

    I agree with what you’re saying, but there is another truth left out of that sad refrain that women did this and that—Most poor woman have always worked. The woman always staying home was a middle class affectation and it worked for some civil servants or tradespeople who made good wages and had good benefits.

    The family wage began to break down in the late fifties and then men entering the work force did not feel that they were making enough to marry and raise a family. The bachelor class was spawned and cultivated. The purpose of Playboy magazine was to sell consumer products to this new demographic of single men who had enough money to lavish gifts on themselves and their dates, but not enough for the ol’ ball and chain, so to speak. The naked woman was in there to say, “We’re not fags. We just really like nice things and shopping for them.”

    So now, a lot of women who would have been ready to marry a few years earlier were now having to find ways to support themselves. The third wave did not rise up so much to say that women should be able to go out and work—women were being forced to work, but were not making enough money to support themselves, and were being treated like shit.

    Middle class housewives were often bored, no doubt. Betty Friedan did a study in which a lot of housewives were given a hypothetical situation in which they could have cleaning appliances with a stunning array of attachments and officious looking doo-dads, or a button that cleaned the house. Guess what they wanted?

    I agree with what you’re saying, but there is another truth left out of that sad refrain that women did this and that—Most poor woman have always worked.

    True, sorry for leaving that out. And for those poor women, having expanded opportunities and even the possibility opened that a woman could at least have the illusion of working in a middle class job through educational improvement would have meant something if anyone could ever break out of their economic class and if the lower classes jobs haven’t constantly been trying to eliminate women trying to break into male-dominated fields.

    But for those outside those fields, the possibility of women to actually be “bread winners” in their own ways not only helped delay the collapse of the middle income bracket, but also made it so for women the options weren’t “guaranteed poverty” or “ill-advised marriage and spending one’s life as an unrespected house slave”.

    You’re right though that this didn’t help those hired as house slaves by rich people.

    Organized crime is everywhere, only the traditions and people change.

    Organized crime is everywhere, but not on the same scale. Everyone has some sort of group-crime going on at some level, but not everyone goes on to spawn criminal empires on the same scope as the Italian-American Mafia. I was just curious at the term “Southern Mafia” because I’d never heard of anything coming out of the South that was anywhere close to the Chicago Outfit, the Five Families or other organizations that get called “mafia.”

    (Which doesn’t mean anything, I’m no expert, hence the curiosity).

     
     

    I was just curious at the term “Southern Mafia”

    I think today they call it the “GOP”.

     
     

    Wait. There’s a Southern Mafia?

    At one point during my New Orleans years I found myself waiting tables in a restaurant that was a retirement gift for one of this guy‘s bodyguards. Periodically, a bunch of old mobsters, all retired by then, would come in for lunch. The staff would joke about where we’d duck if anyone came in the door with a violin case.

    The catering gigs to the owners house out in Metairie were interesting as well.

    It was fairly common at the time to run into folks there who wished the mob still ran the town. There was money, anyway, they’d say.

     
     

    I think today they call it the “GOP”.

    Have for some time. From the link,

    In 1960, Marcello donated $500,000 through Teamsters Union president Jimmy Hoffa, to the Republican campaign of Richard M. Nixon, challenging the Democrat John F. Kennedy.

    Right-wing history is a mental juggling act. You have to be able to briefly grasp at a series of ideas in succession that would fall to the floor if you tried to hold onto them all at once.

    1) Democrats are Communists
    2) McCarthyism had it right about Communism
    3) Besides, if McCarthyism was so right-wing, how come most McCarthyites were Democrats, hmmm?
    4) But to the extent that McCarthyism was bad, it was the Democrats.
    5) Democrats are Communists.

    Watts had famously promised “I’m prepared to accept whatever result they produce, even if it proves my premise wrong.“

    This is precisely what NOAA had found: “Clearly there is no indication from this analysis that poor station exposure has imparted a bias in the U.S. temperature trends.”

    Needless to say, Watts has imploded on his blog, WattsUpWithThat.com.

    His big strategy for attacking his fellow confusionists: “There’s only one problem: Not one of the BEST papers have completed peer review.”

    That wins the award for perhaps the most hypocritical statement ever made by a denier. Watts has spent years attacking the integrity of scientists based on nothing but his un-peer-reviewed nonsense.

    Hey Watts, you want some toilet paper to wipe the shit off your chin?

The purpose of Playboy magazine was to sell consumer products to this new demographic of single men who had enough money to lavish gifts on themselves and their dates, but not enough for the ol’ ball and chain, so to speak.

    I don’t buy that. Bachelorhood dropped dramatically in the first half of the 20th century and was at historic lows in the late 50s. The percentage of unmarried men didn’t begin to rise again until the mid-60s, and even then it may have been that women had more opportunity, not that men couldn’t afford to marry them.

    Median household income also continued to climb until the 1970s. Higher percentages of young men were able to find jobs, complete high school, and going to college.” Comparatively speaking, the 50s and 60s were economic golden years for men who wanted to start families.

    Rising opportunity for non-white men and women may have threatened white male masculinity. Perception is often different from reality. The commodification of women could also be seen as part of the larger trend of marketing goods to the expanding middle class. In other words, it may have been an issue of more prosperity, not less. But pin-up girls, bachelorhood, and men buying from catalogs were not new phenomena.

    He finally proved the Communist nature of our Kenyonesian Muslim President.

    When a genuine civil-rights tragedy, the case of the Scottsboro boys, hit in 1931, CPUSA was on site and ready for action. The comrades wasted no time converting the Scottsboro case into a major communist campaign.

    And how fruitful was that effort?

    It was that particular recruitment tool — CPUSA’s cynical Scottsboro campaign — that caught the attention and began drawing into the Communist Party a young journalist and editor in Atlanta named Frank Marshall Davis, who decades later would advise a Hawaiian adolescent named Barack Obama.

    How dare those fucking Communists misuse such an incident as the Scottsboro rape trial to spread their evil, when everyone knows that there were just tons of other groups just waiting for the chance to defend those falsely accused black kids?

    I mean, all those other defenders were just standing by, waiting, just waiting for the opportunity to jump in and defend them, to make this minor, but really nasty incident a national issue. Just waiting. Waiting, waiting. Waiting. Really. They were totally there.

    And no less a scholar than Jerome Corsi proved that not only was Frank Marshall Davis someone Barack Hussein Al Majlis Carlos the Jackal Trotsky Stalin Obama knew of as an amusing figure of a black radical in a dashiki, but was an adviser.

Halved brussell sprouts in a roasting pan, toss with olive oyl, salt and pepper, some lemon zest and roast those pups until they’ve got some crispy, nutty brown leaves.

    …now more than ever is when we need a commander-in-chief, not a constitutional law professor lecturing us from a lectern.

    Why is it that whenever a right-winger says “commander-in-chief” it comes out sounding like “Supreme Leader”?

     
     

    If we had fewer gun laws in Texas, this kind of violent crime just wouldn’t happen.

    The pair were haggling over the price when police said the man hurled the armadillo at the 57-year-old woman twice. The woman was struck in her leg and chest, and suffered bruises, police said.

    So far, investigators have been unable to track down the suspect, who they said could face assault charges

     
     

    Why is it that whenever a right-winger says “commander-in-chief” it comes out sounding like “Supreme Leader”?

    Because it sounds better than the original German.

     
     

    Now that someone stole his teleprompter, Obummer won’t be able to any more Kenyan law professoring. Suck on that libs!

     
     

    Pup puts mescaline in his salad? That would make dessert a lot more interesting.

    you mean you DON’T?!?!?

     
     

    If we had fewer gun laws in Texas, this kind of violent crime just wouldn’t happen.

    An armadilloed society is a polite society.

     
     

    These people wouldn’t know a real communist if one hit them between the eyes with a copy of the Manifesto.

    Oh, that reminds me—I have a paperback copy of “The Communist Manifesto” that I picked up from a free book shelf in the recreation area of the V.A. rehab center I stayed in for about a month. Haven’t read it yet. At the time I was studying Judith Butler’s “Giving an Account of Oneself” and was spending a lot of time contemplating statements like

    The recognition that one is, at every turn, not quite the same as how one presents oneself in the available discourse might imply, in turn, a certain patience with others that would suspend the demand that they be self-same at every moment.

    Yeah. That would be kinda nice, huh?

    It may be that only through an experience of the other under conditions of suspended judgment do we finally become capable of an ethical reflection in the humanity of the other, even when that other has thought to annihilate humanity.

    It just so happens that I

    … am that other who has thought to annihilate humanity.

    and

    “”the universal…appears as something violent and extraneous and has no substantial reality for human beings.” ~ Adorno

    Is the following not the current Republican party?

    …nothing is more degenerate than the kind of ethics or morality that survives in the shape of collective ideas even after the World Spirit has ceased to inhabit them—to use the Hegelian expression as a kind of shorthand. Once the state of human consciousness and the state of social forces of production have abandoned these collective ideas, these ideas acquire repressive and violent qualities.

    Perhaps it would be helpful to me to review Butler before I read the manifesto.

     
     

    Btw, do Communists eat BBQ? Cause I might hafto quit the party if that’s a dealbreaker.

    That is good question, comrade, best submitted to committee for secret picnic in glorious people’s picnic ground.

     
     

    If frozen armadillos are outlawed, only outlaws will have frozen armadillos.

     
     

    It’s all good fun until someone gets hit with a frozen armadillo.

     
     

    Next time you order up a litre of frozen armadildoes, as for Hiltre™ tequila by name. You’ll be glad you did.
    .

     
     

    “It was unclear why the squirrels were in the freezer,”

    Of course that was before the days of Reality TV.

     
     

    We’ve got armadillos in our trousers! It’s really quite frightening.

     
     

    Never fails.

    To make me giggle.

     
     

    Pretty good baseball game tonight.

     
     

    My armadillo don’t want none unless you got buns hon!

     
     

    So I just got done watching “X-MEN: FIRST CLASS”

    Not bad! mainly watchable because of the guys playing young Professor and Magneto. They were both pretty brilliant–amazing screen presence…and young Magneto is…easy on the eyes. Rawr.

    January Jones does an amazing job playing a robot. What? She wasn’t playing a robot you say? Now I’m confused.

     
     

    FINE THEN! Me and my super-awesome movie reviews are going Galt!! I anxiously await the demise of socialist Sadly!

     
     

    What? She wasn’t playing a robot you say?

    They prefer the term “Cylon,” I think.
    .

     
     

    I thought First Class was pretty good as well. Watched it on a big projection TV stoned to the gills, so that may have influenced my thinking.

    Pujols (heh – poo holes) just crushed a three run shot into the upper deck – now 11 to 6 Cardinals in the top of the sixth.

     
     

    I liked First Class a lot, other than the whole “only black guy dies first (despite having the power to adapt to anything) and only black woman turns evil” thing.

     
     

    That Pujols guy is pretty good. Just hit another, this time a two-run shot.

     
     

    Theoretically, a baseball game could go on forever.

     
     

    Theoretically, a baseball game could go on forever.

    You mean they don’t already?

     
     

    I’ve seen lots of “forever” baseball games. Do not ever forget the 86 Mets. Baseball is not about the clock.

     
     

    Holy crap! Three home runs! Ties Reggie Jackson.

     
     

    Baseball is not about the clock.

    Per George Carlin, the lack of a time element is one of the basic differences between baseball and football (and most other sports, I guess).

     
     

    Forgot to include Babe Ruth along with Jackson.

     
     

    Per George Carlin

    How much do we miss him?

    I see Lewis Black standing in, angrier, but still funny and pointed in the right direction.
    .

     
     

    I always thought of Black as more the heir of John Belushi than of Carlin.

     
     

    WRONG! Baseball is ALL about the cock.

    In other inane bullshit, tsam’s fledgling attempt at food pR0n:

    Need dinner for 8 (count ’em) EIGHT picky teenage girls, one of which does not eat meat.

    Garlic and olive oil, fried until slightly brown. Basil and sliced mushrooms added, cooked until mushrooms brown. Tomato sauce, paste, then diced tomatoes. The trick: Spinach. Simmered for a while, then some Cavendar’s greek seasoning, sea salt and a little more basil.

    Pour over noodles and serve with garlic bread. 8 screeching, shrieking, happy teenage girls, full of food. tsam retreats to the bedroom to watch Pujols tie Mr. October’s record for 3 homers in one series game.

     
     

    I always thought of Black as more the heir of John Belushi than of Carlin.

    I can see that, but Black seems less… absurdist? Than either.
    .

     
     

    Yes Jeff I agree about Lewis. Cept for Carlin’s last stand about how they don’t care about you. Carlin nailed it. And it makes me sad.

    Tsam – calm down; sweetie. GIIIIRRRLLLSSS are very hard, but it’s
    kinda cool when you finally figure them out.

     
     

    I don’t know if I can do food porn, but I’ll give it a shot.

    For the Lord of the Manor: BLT (bacon cooked slowly) with mustard, half a Vlasic Farmer’s pickle (just discovered these (nice minimal packaging(wondering if the lid will fit on our mason jars, and if the lids for the mason jars will fit on this pickle jar))). A serving of Kettle Jalapeno Potato Chips (in what appears to be a fine vinyl bag that has to be cut with scissors and will probably outlive me); and for dessert—a huge hunk of watermelon. His beverage of choice is a glass of Coca-Cola in a flute with no ice.

    For the Lady: BLT with mayonnaise (h8trs gonna h8t), potato salad, a pickle spear, a glass of instant tea with lemon and no ice. For dessert —honeydew and red grapes.

    Tomorrow we’re having our first Christmas present from me delivered—-a 42″ Panasonic TCL42U30. Now I won’t have to pay to have my photos blown up to see what they look like full-sized. Later this week, another present—a new futon for the couch. This is the second television I’ve ever bought. I bought one about 15 years ago because I realized that I had no idea what anyone was talking about at work because I didn’t watch television. I sold it six months later when I moved. BUT NOW, WE LOVE MOVIES and I’m gimp enough to want to sit down to watch one all the way through now.

     
     

    Helen;
    I love having them around. They’re loud and hyperactive, but 3I of them are my daughters. Im just not good at cooking and stuff, so I was all proud of myself that I got all. Of them to eat!

     
     

    Looking at the teevee schedule tonight, a zombie was heard to say “Huh. Look at that. They’re on the third game of the World Series already. Oh well, don’t care.”

     
     

    I liked First Class a lot, other than the whole “only black guy dies first (despite having the power to adapt to anything) and only black woman turns evil” thing.

    Yeah, the sexual and racial politics of that movie were really really off. And the last couple of minutes just completely fell apart because “Magneto needs to be the bad guy” and some other poor script decisions.

    But overall, it was fun, it was reasonably well scripted, reasonably well acted, and the big moments were definitely exciting.

    Overall, it was enjoyable.

     
     

    -a 42? Panasonic TCL42U30

    Awesome.

    Years past, before the Masters of The Universe destroyed the construction industry, I did the HDTV and home theater system for the home, it is still in use, when U-Verse crap service is able to muster a picture.

    This year, I am looking at a Logitech gadget that allows us to use an iPad to control all the devices. Geek Zombie.

     
     

    Hey Tsam – here’s my girl story from tonight: Megan is her name. I adore her and I taught to remember my birthday by adding 40 to her age (she is (9) and she got all confused tonight and thought I was 59. NO NO NO it’s only 49!!!!!!! OMG did I freak? Oh yes I did.

     
     

    OK:

    Fuck AT&T U-verse. They do not know the fuck what they are doing.

     
     

    Seriously, they make WordPress look like a kindly old grandmother who gives you cookies and reminisces about fucking Dragon-King’ father.

     
     

    Cookies????

    My other half is a geek. He just finished building a multi-media computer to go with the telly. Hopefully, that will spare us some of the problems of purchasing single use items. The DVD player craps out. No problem. Blue Ray takes over the world? No problem. He also has a programmable remote (my Christmas present to him a long time ago) he can use for the whole smash, and a blue-tooth keyboard. (Uh-oh. He just said the remote lasted a hell of a lot longer than he expected it too (he says he can turn a web tablet into a remote)) I have some Harmon/Kardon speakers we can plug into MMC too. Evidently most flat screens have crappy sound. Guess they figure you want to buy—or someone else wants you to buy—a sound bar or surround sound.

    Sometime this week, we will kick back on the couch with the nice new futon, and watch movies on the best television either one of us has ever lived with. What shall we name it? He said, “Dieter” but that’s the name of one of my old printers. It will speak its name to me, sooner or later.

     
     

    Ronald Reagan, sex criminal.

    And Men’s Rights Advocate:

    “‘The evening up to that point had been quite romantic,’ she writes. ‘But the actual intimacy with Ronnie was without grace.’

    “’He made sure I was aware of the length of time he had been ardent. It was 40 minutes. And he told me how much the condom cost,’ the actress writes. But…the stunning revelation to the young girl was that Reagan had no clue that she was a virgin – despite all the obvious signs.

    “In fact, he couldn’t understand why she didn’t have multiple orgasms and told her she needed to see a doctor because she was abnormal.

    ‘And maybe a doctor can find out why it hurt you so at first,’ he said. ‘There’s something wrong with you that you should fix.’

    “Numb with embarrassment, Piper recalled his words as ‘cold and just plain stupid.’ ‘He offered not the slightest trace of humor or kindness. His insensitivity had been wounding and, in retrospect, even cruel.’

    “Years later, at the end of Reagan’s last term in office, he invited her to a ‘goodbye gala’ for old friends. With only bad memories, she turned it down.”

     
     

    Via Booman, an interesting Time article from 1945 about the killing of Mussolini.

    “It Is Finished.” The bodies lay on the ground for many hours. Then, to give the mob a better view, the partisans hanged Mussolini and Petacci by their feet from a scaffold on the Piazza. “Hah!” jeered an onlooker, “Mussolini has become a pig!”
    http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,797481-1,00.html

     
     

    Yeah, but did Ronnie ever email a picture of his schlong? Then, its totally different.

     
     

    When I and other correspondents reached the scene, a howling mob was struggling for place beside the heap of cadavers. Partisan guards vainly fired rifle and pistol shots into the air to keep the crowd back. We drove our jeep to the edge of the scene, I clambered atop the hood.

    Note to Jonah Goldberg, “Partisan” was a euphemism for leftist (not necessarily communist but perhaps)

     
     

    I am the only one who finds Ronald Reagan’s sex life more offensive than Mussolini’s death.

     
     

    “Per George Carlin, the lack of a time element is one of the basic differences between baseball and football (and most other sports, I guess).”

    In football the object is for the quarterback, also known as the field general, to be on target with his aerial assault, riddling the defense by hitting his receivers with deadly accuracy in spite of the blitz, even if he has to use shotgun. With short bullet passes and long bombs, he marches his troops into enemy territory, balancing this aerial assault with a sustained ground attack that punches holes in the forward wall of the enemy’s defensive line.

    In baseball the object is to go home! And to be safe! – I hope I’ll be safe at home!

     
     

    GoMo!

    Now we gonna get The Donalde crapping all over the rug in the S/N living room.

    I suppose it’s good sport. Maybe the whole “Carl is Tintin” thing can be resolved.

    Or not.

     
     

    Donalde! Come out and plaaay.

     
     

    Yes, it is I, Jay Ambrose! To once again provide the schooling that is the modern Conservative Thought. Here you have badly maligned this great thinker and phD holder with your liberal tropes and tripes. He has demonstrated with great precision and accuracy the historical linkages of communism and black controlled Democrat Party hegemony. All you can do is blame his toupee and the righteous institution at which he holds forth his teachings. Shame on you again. Obama now has his communist mob working the streets to bring down a Capitalist System that is the envy of the World. Why would such a thing be done if not for the money of Soros and Buffet? Obama will misuse his TelePrompTer to tell his robots what to do. But, we the Tea Party will not be tread upon and sullied with that liberal filth. Our buses will come to those rallys you can be assured of that. And the world will see where the violence tendancies come from. Acorn vote fixing is gone and with it are the fabricated Democrat wins. It will be GOP landslides from now on. You libs are about to be buried in them. Get used to it and get digging.

     
     

    Jay, its is customary to provide a link to the Onion when you copy/paste from it. It is an internet tradition and everything.

     
     

    Well, Jay-bang! I don’t know who ya are, but you should read the labels more carefully, and only work with solvents in a well-ventilated area.
    .

     
     

    The only traditions I am interested in are American Traditions like The Bible.

     
     

    Isn’t the bible middle eastern?

     
     

    No! And Jesus was a tall blond.

    Next question.

     
     

    Ha! Foolish liberal fell right into my Conservative trap. It’s not where The Bible comes from, it’s what you do with it that counts. Only in American have we used it properly as a foundation upon which to build our mighty orifice of Freedom and Capitalism. It’s a Freedom Tradition that crushes believers in Statism, Fascism and Socialism into the dust rather than tolerating them. That’s the way a true American uses The Bible and that’s nothing like the middle east.

     
     

    No! And Jesus was a tall blond.

    Tricia Helfer, who was also a Cylon.
    .

     
     

    The exclamation point after my name only cost me 15 IQ points!

    (brb, shiny thing)

     
     

    Definitely a fake fake Jay Ambrose.

    Why would such a thing be done if not for the money of Soros and Buffet?

    Indeed, why would two very successful capitalists wish to destroy capitalism? gocart, is that you?

     
     

    I usually have to pay money to go to a buffet.

     
     

    When I and other correspondents reached the scene, a howling mob was struggling for place beside the heap of cadavers. Partisan guards vainly fired rifle and pistol shots into the air to keep the crowd back. We drove our jeep to the edge of the scene, I clambered atop the hood.

    It is deeply offensive for anyone to be touting the “success” of their foreign policy when it has resulted in so much death and carnage. Nobody misses Hitler and Mussolini, but the costs paid by innocent people in having them killed are so huge that anyone who struts around as if they’ve achieved something great should be shunned — at a minimum.
    These are obviously lies made up by the US military-media complex to cover-up the US imperial expansion, and these so-called “partisans” mere puppets of Dear Leader Truman. Just you wait; The US Empire will have military bases in Italy in the next century! After all, what did Mussolini ever do to us?

     
     

    I love David Alan Grier. An underrated comedian if ever there were one.

     
     

    I know it’s too late, but I looked up Grove City College on studensreview.com; it’s more like Pensacola Christian College (controlling, obsessive about their branch of Christianity and the sex lives of the students, unaccredited) without the nice Florida beaches the latter school has.

    I think these unaccredited “Christian” colleges are a blight on the American educational system – students can’t move on to graduate work, and many people who transfer find they have to retake classes. Also the value of the diplomas are limited; in Grove City’s case you have to stay in Pittsburgh, otherwise nobody knows what that school is.
