Liberals like poor people, that’s why they’re trying to create so many of them.
Anarchists are dickheads. It’s a universal trait. Every time I see some black-clad, bandanna-wearing, pimple-faced pack of idiots talking about “resistance” and “direct-action,” I start praying that they will actually one day have to live in a state of widespread anarchy. In a truly anarchist environment, these are precisely the people who would wind up lying in a ditch with a bullet in their forehead first.

I’m going to list three unrelated quotes from recent news stories in order to make a broader point.
Michelle Malkin: Nickelodeon is at it again
This story is one of several Linda Ellerbee uses Sunday night in a “Nick News” special to illuminate a troubling consequence of our ongoing response to the complex issue of immigration.
Ellerbee starts the show by stressing that she’s not taking sides in the larger immigration debate, just reminding us of its impact on children.
Obama Attempts Damage Control, Fallout Over Pastor’s Sermons Unclear
In an interview Friday with FOX News, Obama said he personally never had heard the pastor’s controversial comments, though he joined his Trinity United Church of Christ nearly 20 years ago. He said the sermons now sparking controversy didn’t resemble the ones he remembers from Wright, which, Obama said, stuck to messages of faith, values and helping people in the community.

“Contrary to media claims that Wright preaches racial hatred, church leaders who have observed his ministry describe him as a faithful preacher of the gospel who has ministered in a context radically different from that of many middle class Americans,” the statement reads.
If you need a constant reminder of just what media, political, and social elites think of you, just print out those quotes and put them on your wall. What possible explanation could there be for intelligent people making those kinds of statements in an age when their every word and action is preserved for posterity?
Linda Ellerbee, Barack Obama, and the person who wrote the statement for TCU’s divinity school are publicly attempting to put forward explanations that any semi-intelligent person with basic reading comprehension skills or a two second Google search could tear apart. The simple explanation is that they assume that the general public will swallow their explanation whole and go on about their day. In short, they think you’re an idiot. These aren’t morons, all of them have college degrees and Obama went to an Ivy League school. They just assume that you and I are too stupid or too lazy to give their statements even a moment’s thought.
They are aided in their effort by media drones who dutifully write out whatever bullshit explanations our betters deign to give us. Of course, that only holds true if the elite in question is expressing proper political or social views. If President Bush tried to get away with something like this, they’d pick him apart like vultures on a carcass.
If you want to earn my unabashed hatred as a public figure, just try even once to throw this kind of crap at me with an honest expectation that I’ll swallow it. The good news is that in an age where millions of ordinary people have an outlet through the web to call these assholes to the carpet, they won’t be able to get away with it… as much.
The bad news, the National Guard bombed your apartment. The good news, it was just practice. My favorite part:
Called a Bomb Dummy Unit 33, the training munition came from an F-16 fighter jet, now under armed guard at the Tulsa Air National Guard Base.
At least we can feel safe knowing that the F-16 won’t be escaping the base and terrorizing multi-unit residential areas across the state. (Yes, I know they put it under guard so that it can’t be tampered with while they conduct an investigation.)
Moral retards come in so many forms that they are almost boringly repetitive at this point. Every once in a while, however, one of them manages to screw up a painfully simple situation with distinction. I’m far from a fan of government involvement in issues of morality that don’t have a direct effect on the safety of others. That being said, the moral math on this one is pretty fucking simple.
public library computer + viewing child pornography = call the police
It’s a no-brainer, if you work as a librarian, and you observe a man viewing child pornography, you dial 911 and have the cops haul his ass to jail. Unless of course you’re employed by the government in a management position. In that case, you fire the librarian and insist that other employees call a supervisor to determine the correct course of action when a patron is downloading kiddie-porn in full view of the public.
Bureaucracy is an asexually reproducing organism. Its primary purpose is to increase its scope and power. There are certainly good people who work in bureaucracies, but anyone who loves bureaucracy itself is an asshole.
Dutch parliament bans sex with animals
The Dutch parliament voted unanimously Thursday to outlaw bestiality and pornography involving animals.
Sex with animals and the making of animal pornography now will carry a punishment of up to six months in jail under the measure.
Current Dutch law forbids bestiality only when animals are found to have been mistreated.
I wonder if some poor bastards had to actually sit down and come up with criteria to determine whether an animal involved in bestiality was “mistreated?” Well, yes, evidently they did, and the current standard says that the prosecution must prove that the animal was an unwilling participant.
I want someone to actually bring the sheep in and put it on the stand:
Prosecutor On the night in question, did you give the defendant any reason to believe that you would willingly participate in sexual activity?
Victim Mmbaaah.
Judge I’m afraid you’ll have to answer the question “yes” or “no.”
but this may be the greatest sentence in the history of the English language:
In my experience, every red-diaper baby socialist patchouli sponge worth his organic tofu dreadlocks acts, talks, and thinks as though he is in a battle against Absolute Evil.
Incidentally, anyone who has watched a few episodes of “The Unit” has probably noticed that David Mamet’s views, while not readily mistaken for Rush Limbaugh, certainly aren’t Code Pink either.
The Eliot Spitzer thing has been done to death just about everywhere, and I take every bit as much glee in seeing the hypocritical bastard get his just desserts as the next guy. As I plowed through the endless torrent of media coverage on the scandal, I came across this piece in the NY Times. See if anything jumps out at you in the first sentence of the article.
By now everyone is covering the story of the bomb blast at the recruiting station in Times Square. I’m sure there will be more than enough speculation about who the responsible parties are. I won’t venture a guess this early, but whoever they are let me put my vote in for public flogging and hanging.
I understand that there are tremendous pressures in the news business. As much as I complain about the media in general and print “journalists” in particular, I do understand that, in an age of instant information and 24/7 coverage, attention to detail may occasionally suffer. That being said, I would like to think that even the AFP would be capable of better than this piece of shit. Here are a few of the more choice parts:
The explosion sparked an immediate and large police response — one of the legacies of the September 11 attacks six years ago, since when the city has been on a constant and heightened state of alert.
Surely you remember the good old days of September 10, 2001 when the police response to a bomb going off in the middle of Times Fucking Square would have been much more casual.
Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said the blast was the result of an improvised explosive device that could have caused serious injury or even proved fatal.
As opposed to harmless explosive devices that can warp doors, but are utterly incapable of causing injury.
The Department of Homeland Security was swift to say there was no information to suggest an imminent threat to the United States after the blast.
The White House said the explosion “doesn’t appear to be terrorism,” adding that it was closely following the investigation.
If these fuckers were as swift and decisive in fighting terrorism as they are in denying it, I’d sleep a lot better.
However, traffic was being allowed through Times Square, affectionately known as “the crossroads of the world,” and subway services, shortly suspended after the blast, were back to normal, sparing the city rush-hour chaos.
I want to get a job writing wire reports for the AFP just to see the manual they must hand out. I bet it has a whole section on awkward non sequitors.
