Gosnell Guilty!

Posted on May 13, 2013 by

One of the best responses to the Gosnell trial and its verdict of guilty today was penned by the Editors of the National Review.

Gosnell is Not an Aberration

Gosnell’s human abattoir is the logical endpoint of our morally fraudulent national approach to abortion, the proponents of which maintain that they wish the procedure to remain “safe, legal, and rare,” in Bill Clinton’s cynically triangulating formulation, while at the same time resisting any and all restrictions upon the procedure. Gosnell’s murders are not an aberrant abuse of the abortion license but an inevitable result of it.

Gosnell’s crimes produced stunning imagery: the severed spines, the severed limbs, a floundering baby struggling for life in a toilet. But Gosnell’s brutality was in fact not much different from what happens on any abortionist’s table.

That we recoil in horror from the images of Gosnell’s crimes is evidence that the casual practice of abortion, and all of the political rhetoric deployed on its behalf, have not yet entirely extinguished the moral sense of those who are confronted with these bloody scenes.

Let justice roll down like waters!

College Student Expelled for Comments on Black Racism

Posted on May 11, 2013 by

If you were an eager beaver educator enrolled in a student teaching program as part of your college curriculum and you were introduced to your middle school students with remarks that included a negative reference about your race, would that bother you?  And if you dared to write about that racial remark on your Facebook page, would you then be surprised to find you had been accused of racism yourself?

Matthew Werenczak was completing his Master’s degree at the Syracuse University School of Education.  As part of his degree requirements, he enrolled in a student teaching practicum at Danforth Middle School in the city of Syracuse.  Danforth has a student population of 493 pupils, 403 of whom are African American.  Matt Werenczak is white.  Imagine Mr. Werenczak’s surprise when his European race was frowned upon in front of the student body by a black ‘community activist’.

For failing to subscribe to the nouveau racist anti-diversity catechism dictated by the Left-wing academic hierarchy, Mr. Werenczak was charged with heresy by the progressive inquisition.  His beaten and bloodied reputation was ultimately burnt at the stake of future career opportunities when Werenczak was expelled for failing to kowtow to a black man and for refusing to shuffle along like a good little guilt-ridden white boy.

But FIRE came to the rescue.  Congratulations to FIRE (Foundation for Individual Rights in Education) for coming to the aid of Matt Werenczak.  And three cheers for Mister Werenczak for having the courage to COME OUT to the public with his predicament.

Let us not forget, that the foul odor of rotting academic ideology and its putrefying impact on the intellectual capacity of students, faculty, and our culture at large can only be cleared away by the clean fresh breeze of public scrutiny.

Paris Riots Protesting Gay Marriage

Posted on April 24, 2013 by

If any lesbian or gay man believes that the issue of gay marriage will be neatly decided and nicely tucked away forever and a day by a convivial pro same-sex ruling by the Supreme Court or by a state legislature or by a state-wide referendum, then these happy-go-lucky ladies and gents of a queerly artless disposition should seriously reconsider their faulty flights of fancy.

Anti-Gay Marriage Riots in Paris

Any social issue that hits at the core of what many people see as a sacred institution or any legislation that is perceived as jeopardizing a foundational moral precept will always bob along on the tidal ebb and flow of public opinion.  Just like the abortion issue, gay marriage will serve as a political football kicked from one side of the playing field to the other with the fans in the stands booing or cheering as the fickle shifts in the communal mindset dictate.

The riots in Paris over gay marriage last night were not the first time that young people, yes, young people, took to the streets to protest the legalization of same-sex unions.  Which should put an end to the stupid supposition that it’s only the old fogies in our culture who stand in the way of ‘progress’ and that once those reactionary relics finally hit the dust, the great gay way will be free and clear.  Dream on, suckers!

Take a look at the video and see if you can spot any old geezers in the crowd.  There ain’t any!  This is the younger generation taking to the streets for the cause of traditional marriage.

Why Are the Majority of the Left’s Top Journalists Jewish?

Posted on April 23, 2013 by

Moby DickAn interesting question raised by the iconoclastic and ever irreverent Jim Goad of Taki Magazine in his latest commentary on the pathetically jaundiced journalism of the Left’s slimy salivating over the bombing in Boston and its gleeful hand-rubbing at the hoped for sighting of that Great White Whale of liberal fiction, that Moby Dick of the Democrat devotees of the terror double standard—the evil Right-wing Conspiracy!

As they hero-worship the for real White homegrown terrorists in our midst, the likes of Bill Ayers, Bernardine Dohrn, and Kathy Boudin, all of whom were rewarded for their terrorist services to the Left-wing cause with cushy jobs in academia, and as they boisterously bellow on and on over the 3-D specter of white privilege, the illiberal non-diverse brothers and sisters of the Pravda profession clearly defy the very diversified ideology they consistently claim to champion.

You decide if Goad is gold.  Check out the crème de la crème of the propaganda hit parade, aka the Left’s Top 25 Journalists.

Here is Jim Goad’s take on the self-hating White Witch Hunt in Let’s Hope the Next Bomber is a Liberal Journalist:

Could it be that the leftist media downplays, or even ignores, such acts of terrorism (from the Left) because that part of the media is egregiously stacked with a wildly disproportionate quotient of a specific minority Who Must Never Be Named Under Threat of Eternal Damnation?  Perish the thought!  (My Jew-sniffing dog sometimes makes mistakes, and it’s not as if Americans of that ancestry always advertise their heritage, but to the best of my research skills I counted anywhere from 13 to 19 “Chosen” peeps from the 25 on that list, which would comprise 52% to 79% of the total and thus a whopping statistical over-representation of anywhere from 2600% to 3950%. And there’s not one black person on that list.  Holy mackerel, Andy!)

Maybe if you’d been able to restrain yourselves from endlessly screaming about the unique evil of white people, I wouldn’t have started to look into exactly who was doing most of the screaming.  Since you apparently can’t help yourself from continually profiling me, don’t cry foul when I start profiling you.  And I don’t think it qualifies as imagining there are Jews in my sandwich when anywhere from half to three-quarters of the hoagie you’re feeding me is stuffed with kosher meat.

It seems evident that the tireless bashers of everything white and male don’t view white males as a powerful oppressor so much as an easy target.

Joe McCarthy was right!

Bill Maher, the Boston Bombers, and the Hate Hustler

Posted on April 22, 2013 by

Meet Brian Levin, Professor of Criminal Justice and Director of the Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism at California State University.  Brainless Brian is also a grade-A multicultural jackass and a prime example of the pseudo-intellectual posers that are a dime a dozen throughout academia today.  Although Maher treats this Islamophiliac with undeserved deference, Mister Bill lands some good political punches on the puss of this witless wonder.

This credentialed cretin couldn’t spot real hate if it hacked his head off.  And did you pick up on the crack Levin made about Pamela Geller?  His snide remark went nowhere, however—neither Maher nor the audience knew who he was talking about.

Just another taxpayer-supported Academic Apparatchik.

The Boston Bombers and Kathy Boudin: A Tale of Three Terrorists

Posted on April 21, 2013 by

Kathy BoudinAs the good folks of Watertown, Massachusetts cheer on their police force and give thanks to Almighty God that their suburban town has men and women of courage and character helping to rid their little world of the rabid dogs of demonic terrorism, the mushy-headed media is busy with its specious speculations, trying to figure out how two young men raised in America could have turned out to be such vociferous haters of the very country that gave them safety and asylum.

What a short attention span our media moguls seem to have when their Left-wing historical facts fly in the face of hard-core reality.  Well, here’s a little walk down memory lane as seen through the eyes of a man who as a nine year-old boy lived through the terrifying violence of Left-wing terrorism.  And it all happened right here in the good old USA perpetrated by homegrown White Middle Class Left-wing brats.  And yes, Kathy Boudin, currently serving as Adjunct Assistant Professor at Columbia University, was the Marxist mother of this terrorist cell calling itself the Weather Underground.

Here is the compelling commentary by John Murtagh in his article entitled, Tale of Two Terrorists, that appeared in the New York Post the other day.  Mr. Murtagh, the son of a New York State Supreme Court Justice, was nine years old when his father was targeted for assassination by Kathy Boudin and her fellow Weather Underground terrorists back in 1970.

Forty-three years ago last month, Kathy Boudin, now a Professor at Columbia but then a member of the Weather Underground, escaped an explosion at a bomb factory operated in a townhouse in Greenwich Village.  Three weeks earlier, Boudin’s Weathermen had firebombed a private home in Upper Manhattan with Molotov cocktails. Their target was my father, a New York state Supreme Court justice.  The rest of the family, was presumably an afterthought.  I was 9 at the time, only a year older than the youngest victim in Boston.

Despite the misgivings of some, it is reported that Kathy Boudin urged the use of “anti-personnel bombs.” In other words, she wanted to kill people not just damage property.  Before they could act, her fellows were killed in the townhouse explosion. The townhouse itself collapsed; Boudin fled.

She reappeared over a decade later driving the getaway car for the rag tag mix of Weathermen and Black Panthers who held up a Rockland County bank in 1981, murdering three in the process. Survivors of the ambush along the New York State Thruway recount how Boudin emerged from the driver’s door, arms raised in surrender, asking the police to lower their guns. When they did, her accomplices burst from the back of the van guns blazing.

Other than the passage of time, one can find no real distinction between the cowardly actions of last Monday’s Boston murderer and the terror carried out by Boudin and her accomplices. Yet today we live in a country where our leading educational institutions see fit to trust our children’s education to murderers and Hollywood sees fit to celebrate terrorists.

Who is this murdering Medusa who thought she could kill and maim people in the name of her ideology?  Well, here’s an enlightening mini biography of Kathy Boudin courtesy of Wikipedia.

Note that Wikipedia refers to this Bomber Bitch as a radical, not a terrorist, not a murderer, not a killer, but a radical.  You see, when radical is used as the descriptor of choice, automatic credibility and justification of sorts is granted to the killers of cops, kids, security guards, government officials, businessmen, and ordinary Joes and Janes out for a day of fun.  So when the media and their academic partners in crime anoint a butchering bitch or bastard with the euphemistic title of political radical, you can bet your bottom IED that these human shit bags are murdering the masses in the name of whatever load of du jour garbage is currently being served up on their anti-American menu.

Kathy Boudin was born on May 19, 1943, into a family with a Muslim mother and a 1/2 Jewish Father, with a long left-wing history, and she was raised in Greenwich Village, New York. Her great-uncle was Louis B. Boudin, a Marxist theorist. Her father, attorney Leonard Boudin, had represented such controversial clients as Judith Coplon, Fidel Castro, and Paul Robeson.   A National Lawyers Guild attorney, Leonard Boudin was the law partner of Victor Rabinowitz, himself counsel to numerous left-wing organizations. Kathy’s older brother, Michael Boudin, is currently a judge on the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit.  She is journalist I.F. Stone’s niece.

Kathy Boudin attended kindergarten at the Little Red School House and its high school, the Elisabeth Irwin High School in Manhattan. Although she went to Bryn Mawr College intending to prepare for medical school, her interests quickly turned to politics. 1965, her last year at Bryn Mawr was spent studying in the Soviet Union. She was paid 75 rubles a month by the Soviet government and, according to her résumé, taught on a Soviet collective farm. Kathy Boudin also attended receptions and functions with her parents at the Cuban Mission to the United Nations in New York.

Ah, Bryn Mawr College, the academic cradle for so many female Marxist maniacs and such a haven for matriculating super brainy baby butches and their straight lesbian-for-a-semester femme fatales.  But I digress……

There will be some, of course, who say that the Bomber Bitch has served her time and we should all move on and FORGIVE and FORGET.  But somehow, I don’t think that a woman who by rights should have been executed (none of the Weather Underground terrorists faced execution), should now be awarded a prestigious professorship at an Ivy League university in recognition of her services to humanity.  Here is Columbia School of Social Work’s blurb describing Bomber Boudin’s credentials.  Be prepared to vomit.

Dr. Kathy Boudin has been an educator and counselor with experience in program development since 1964, working within communities with limited resources to solve social problems, and supporting individuals to overcome their own odds and develop a sense of strength and direction. Dr. Boudin has focused her work on the HIV/AIDS epidemic, and criminal justice issues including women in prison; mother-child relationships and parenting from a distance; adolescent relationships with incarcerated parents; restorative justice, and higher education and basic literacy inside correctional institutions.

Dr. Boudin is employed by the Center for Comprehensive Care, HIV AIDS Center, at St. Lukes Roosevelt Hospital where she is developing programs related to health care for people who are HIV Positive and counseling patients individually and in groups. She is currently a consultant to the Osborne Association in the development of a Longtermers Responsibility Project taking place in the New York State Correctional Facilities utilizing a restorative practice approach.  Dr. Boudin also has been a consultant for Vermont Corrections, the Women’s Prison Association, and Family Justice.
She has provided training and supervision to social workers as they work with individual people in prison.

She received her Ed.D. from Columbia University, Teachers College.

No mention of her 20-plus year sabbatical in a US prison.  No mention of just how she got an Ed.D from Columbia while incarcerated for heinous crimes nor who paid for the diploma.  And by the way, she’s on the lecture circuit—she gave a talk at NYU Law School just the other week where she was hailed as a celebrity hero.

Mind-boggling, isn’t it?  So I’ve got to ask, what are we going to do about it?  At least the relatives and survivors of the Weather Underground’s murderous terror acts demonstrated outside the event while the Bomber Bitch gave her talk at NYU.  And the Boston Marathon bombings have at least temporarily put a bit of a damper on future Ivy League lecture tours for this smug arrogant killer.

And maybe that’s the one horrible positive to come out of this horrendous terror attack in Boston.  For it took the horror of 9/11 for those IRA-supporting Irish Americans to wake up to the gruesome reality of the murder and mayhem that they were helping to fund across the pond.

It would seem that when terror attacks blow your own friends, family, and neighbors to smithereens right there in your own home town, it sort of wipes off the shiny ideological gloss of that Marxist anti-American apple that the media just loves to polish.  It only takes one close-to-home horror for most folks to see the worm-eaten core of academic malfeasance.

Joe McCarthy was right!

Rush Limbaugh on Gay Marriage: Another Nugget of Stupidity

Posted on March 29, 2013 by

MoronAh, how refreshing to listen to the nifty natter of the holy High Priest of conservative thought, that clever chappy of bluster and blowhard who gives out his weekday gems of god-inspired guff to the ever eager ears of the eternally gullible.  Yes, Mr. Rush Limbaugh, the Talk Radio raconteur broadcasting his puffed up pontifications on political and social matters, professing his wisdom to the conservative masses who cling to each and every word as if these sassy syllables were priceless pearls of acumen and sagacity.

Limbaugh’s latest breathtaking analysis proffers his feeble attempt to explain away the social success of the gay marriage marathon, a cultural phenomenon that has been running non-stop across America’s social scene for many years now.  Mr. Limbaugh dismisses this drawn-out decades-long shift in the American psyche with a quick flick of his wilted wit.  Here is Limbaugh’s take on gay marriage:

The language game, the left really excels at changing the language to benefit them politically, and they do it in such a way that a lot of people on our side have no idea what’s happened until it’s too late and the issue is already lost, which this issue is. This issue is lost. I don’t care what the Supreme Court does, this is now inevitable — and it’s inevitable because we lost the language on this.  I mentioned the other day that I’ve heard people talk about “opposite-sex marriage,” or you might have had heard people say “traditional marriage.”

I maintain to you that we lost the issue when we started allowing the word “marriage” to be bastardized and redefined by simply adding words to it, because marriage is one thing, and it was not established on the basis of discrimination. It wasn’t established on the basis of denying people anything. “Marriage” is not a tradition that a bunch of people concocted to be mean to other people with.  But we allowed the left to have people believe that it was structured that way.

I would go so far as to say that there are some people who think marriage is an evil Republican idea, simply because they’re the ones that want to hold on to it.   Right Scoop

Dear Mr. Limbaugh, hate to break in on your fast-food approach to American politics, but you’re clearly suffering from an old myopic condition cleverly summed up by that ancient adage—You can’t see the forest for the trees.  Or to put it another way, you are stupidly mistaking a symptom for the actual disease.

The use of language to shape perceptions, opinions, and mindsets is nothing new.  It’s just one of many useful weapons in the political arsenal of any faction fighting for societal dominance.  What was a fringe, radical and anti-American viewpoint in the 1960s and early 1970s is now a cynical mainstream attitude strutting its stuff across college campuses, TV screens, newspapers, K-12 classrooms, corporate boardrooms, and across almost every public venue in our culture today—all neatly packaged as tolerance, empathy, and superior sophistication.  Just how that societal transformation came about should be the key question pondered by every conservative who still has a few remaining little grey cells to contemplate the magic manipulation of Western culture.

But Lord of the Manor Limbaugh sure gets one thing right when he states that “a lot of people on our side have no idea what’s happened until it’s too late and the issue is already lost”.   Oh yes, that statement says it all.  Conservatives are consumers of culture, not movers and shakers.  And they’re also outrageously naive, living out their lives semi-detached from the culture at large, randomly bitching and moaning only when an unsavory issue disturbs their glorious isolationism.  What!?  The world changed???  How did that happen???  Huh???  Huh???

Sweet mother of god, what morons we have turned out to be.

The Left controls basically every public communication outlet there is across the board, from entertainment to news to education. And it’s from these cultural bastions that the Left wages war on America.  They are free to shape and reshape language at will.  They are free to provide a public stage for any issue or group they so choose.  They can create entertainment programming that cleverly pushes any political or social issue into people’s faces.   And such an ability to reach the masses means they can virtually dictate the correct way to think, the correct way to behave, the correct way to vote.  Conservatives on the other hand, play a losing game of endless defense, ineffectually huffing and puffing and basically getting nowhere.

How, pray tell, could conservatives allow or disallow the redefining of any cultural term?  Conservatives are close to powerless—we don’t set the societal agenda, we don’t define the terms, we don’t directly shape our culture.  Why?  Because we don’t have consistent access to mainstream America.

For Limbaugh, the cultural culprit is simply language and his response to this assault against a traditional definition is typical of all reactive conservative responses today—he blames the Left.  The Left did this, the Left did that, the Left co-opted our language.  And us poor sad-sack conservatives just never stood a chance—we were too deaf, dumb, and blind to sense the obvious.

Dear ones, it ain’t the Lefties who are responsible for the devolution of America, it is us.  We vacated the cultural playing field long long ago and we continue to view culture as either akin to some bewildering miracle or as a personal possession solely owned and operated by the Left.

When you’re getting machine-gunned on the battlefield of culture, you have basically three strategic options at hand:

  1. You capitulate the field of battle to the enemy and simply go with the cultural flow.  This strategy sees defeat as a foregone conclusion, so why not look hip and savvy and simply join the in-crowd.  And of course, surrender affords many Republican politicians the perks of Quisling status: power, money, and recognition.

  2. You hunker down and try to keep from being annihilated, occasionally firing a few rounds of your own at the enemy which occasionally find their mark.  This is the strategy of many if not most of the conservative battalions of counter-culture warriors, of whom Limbaugh serves as Chief of Staff.  The plus with this strategy is that you get to pretend you’re actually taking on the enemy, when in reality you’re just reacting, out of fear and frustration, to the enemy’s tactical maneuvers.

  3. You develop a long-term strategy to take out the enemy’s cultural machine gun nests which have kept you pinned down and on the defensive.  Such a strategy takes years of effort and risk, but it’s the only way to win.  If you don’t know what those nests of gunners look like or where they’re located, then please fall back to Strategy #1 because you’re simply too stupid to put on the uniform.

The Left doesn’t own the culture.  They simply control the means to manipulate it.  And until we learn from their successes and begin to apply those lessons learned, we will continue to be nothing more than fringe movements on the periphery of American life.

No matter what your take on gay marriage, when it comes to culture, those who control the deal of the deck ultimately control the game.

Resurgence of Traditional Catholicism: The Latin Mass

Posted on March 25, 2013 by

Passion Week is upon us.  And this holiest of holy weeks of the Christian calendar is a very fitting time to acknowledge the undercurrents of change that are sweeping through the deep catacombs of the Catholic Church.  Change that signals a return to ancient tradition and a resurgence of core Catholic beliefs.

The appeal of the Latin Mass to so many younger members of the Catholic faithful is one of those key elemental shifts in the Church today that signals this traditional reawakening.  The revival of sacred ritual expressed through the sacred language of the early Church is a growing phenomenon, while at the same time, parishes with protestantized services are losing members by the droves.

The video below highlights some of the frictions and factions within the Church hierarchy and among its laity in America today.  And as you’ll see, the Traditionists are taking off the gloves and going for the progressive jugular with a blessed vengeance.

Valley Forge Park and the Blow Job Jamboree

Posted on March 24, 2013 by

No CruisingAh, the beautiful vista that is historic Valley Forge Park!  The lovely rolling meadows of open country spotted with wooded spinneys of birch and beech.  The forested slopes of oak, pine, and sycamore descending down into the lush valley of the Schuylkill River.  And the rustic reconstructed cabins commemorating that dismal winter of 1777 – 1778 when so many dedicated patriotic men suffered and died.  Yes, this American landscape of birthright and beauty belongs to our Revolutionary heritage and quite rightly offers a trusting public a naturally healthy setting for family fun and recreation.

But beware, all you tourists, dog walkers, and joggers galore, for this scenic paradise is also peopled by a very unseemly segment of the human population.  And the skulking scum contaminating picnic areas, parking lots, bathrooms, pathways, and trails has turned Valley Forge Park into a national Blow Job Jamboree.

When you trek through the woods at Valley Forge Park, be sure to take in the uplifting sight of cruddy condoms littering the wildflowers and grasses along the way.  And when you hike on down to the banks of the Schuylkill, you’ll truly marvel at the semen-dripped tree trunks gracing the greenery.  Golly, on a busy crude-ball cruising day, you might even catch a glimpse of the lowest of the low sucking another woebegone creature’s dirty cock.  Heck, I’ve even been told that some serious butt pumping has been spotted in the bushes along side the 18th century ruin down by the train tracks.

On a weekend morning or afternoon, take a drive to Varnum’s Picnic area just off of Route 23, right across the road from the von Steuben statue.  As you enter the parking lot, you’ll notice solo men sitting in their cars or pickup trucks keenly cruising every vehicle that enters the lot.  Note how their heaps are backed into the parking spaces to ensure a good view of all incoming meat.  Watch their queer quickie dance of sexual seduction as they flash their headlights at one another, stroll around the lot, or take periodic walks into the woods to see what set of genitals might follow.  And don’t miss out on a visit to the onsite public restrooms, whether it be the ladies or the gents, for there’s always some diseased leftover love trinkets for you and your kiddies to discover.

So where is the Park Service during all of these devious doings?  Well, our dedicated uniformed lads and lassies seem to spend a lot of their time across the road where the image of Baron von Steuben looks out over the asphalt paths that sweep across the park.  It’s here, you see, where the normal folk are getting busted for daring to walk their dogs without a leash or for failing to properly scoop poor Fido’s poop.

Yes indeedy do, our perky park rangers just love scaring the shit out of the innocuous canine crowd.  But when it comes to curbing the bad behavior of the human animals on the other side of the street, our boys and girls who don the flat hats, just can’t seem to confront the real criminal rats.

Abortionist Gosnell Goes on Trial—His Attorney Cries, Racism!

Posted on March 20, 2013 by

Gosnell Mug ShotKermit Gosnell, the Philadelphia abortionist who is facing the death penalty on eight counts of murder for allegedly killing born alive babies at his house-of-horrors ‘clinic’ in West Philadelphia, went on trial this past Monday.  And his defense attorney, Mister Jack McMahon, wasted no time in declaring to the predominately black jury that his African American client was an innocent victim of racism.

This is a targeted, elitist and racist prosecution of a doctor who’s done nothing but give back to the poor and the people of West Philadelphia.  It’s a prosecutorial lynching of Dr. Kermit Gosnell.

Targeted, elitist, racist, lynching—my oh my, McMahon sure managed to jam plenty of malarkey into that two-sentence ham sandwich of his, which of course he hopes will be ravenously consumed by every black person sitting on the jury.

But let’s be fair now….Jack the Lad must surely be speaking from his deep-seated concern that all god’s children should see the right side of justice.  And just as surely, he must be expressing his powerful personal commitment to American jurisprudence.  Yeah, right.

Get a load of Jack the Legal Eagle in this video clip from 1986 when this phony light bearer for the black community was serving as an Assistant DA.  This tape in its entirety was used by his political opponent during McMahon’s losing run for the office of District Attorney.

The prosecution in the Gosnell case has laid out their charges very clearly, showing just how this abortion entrepreneur gave back to the People of Color in West Philadelphia.  Gosnell stands accused of:

  • Running a rogue ‘clinic’ where he performed late-term abortions which are illegal in Pennsylvania.

  • Maiming young women through his own incompetence and the use of untrained staff.

  • Using outmoded drugs and improper methodology forcing women to deliver live babies that were then killed by his staff with scissors.

  • Causing the death of a refugee woman from Bhutan when his staff gave her a lethal dose of anesthesia and pain killers.

Well, as we all know, in today’s progressive wasteland of slimy sloganeering, one person’s baby killer is another chump’s champion of women’s rights.  So stabbing crying newborns with a pair of scissors, perforating women’s wombs and bowels, and infecting young girls with STDs could actually mean that poor old Creepy Kermit is headed for instant stardom on the liberal hit parade.

Perhaps the white women at Planned Parenthood will declare Gosnell their Population Controller of the Year.  And perhaps the Caucasian chicks at the National Organization for Women will praise Brother Kermit for taking a pair of scissors to those pesky colored kids who dared to be born alive.

It’s a topsy-turvy world out there, ladies and gentlemen, and anything is possible in our through-the-looking-glass reality of today.

Who Killed Swing Music? The Federal Government, That’s Who

Posted on March 19, 2013 by

Swing MusicHere’s a little mini tutorial for our decidedly dopey conservative ‘leadership’, all those pompous pumpkin heads who still struggle to gain a remedial understanding of the plain and simple concept of shaping culture.  So for those Talking Heads who may have missed my previous Culture for Dummies post entitled The Unbearable Stupidity of Conservatives, I offer from the grab bag of American history, a little factual fable for the stubbornly fatuous.

Once upon a time, when American GIs were slogging their way across the Pacific and getting their butts blasted on the beaches of Europe, the federal government of the United States, in its ever insatiable hunger for the too-few funds of the patriotic faithful, levied an excise tax against the restaurant and entertainment industries.  The Cabaret Tax, as it was called, gobbled up a hefty rate of revenue from the dance club and roadhouse owners across the country.  These establishments provided the venues for the bands and singers and the popular dance music that young Swing-crazy customers came to hear and cheer.

Dramatic shifts in popular culture are usually assumed to result from naturally occurring forces such as changing tastes or demographics. But the Big Bands didn’t just stumble and fall behind the times. They were pushed.

In 1944, a new wartime Cabaret Tax went into effect, imposing a ruinous 30% (later merely a destructive 20%) excise on all receipts at any venue that served food or drink and allowed dancing.  By 1949, the hotel dine-and-dance-room trade was a third of what it had been three years earlier.   The Swing Era was over.

But clubs that provided strictly instrumental music to which no one danced were exempt from the Cabaret Tax.  It is no coincidence that in the back half of the 1940s a new and un-danceable jazz performed primarily by small instrumental groups emerged as the music of the moment.  Bebop was born.

The GOP, along with the conservative faithful that it clearly no longer represents, still believes that culture shifts simply come about by way of naturally occurring forces.  And when any political entity’s calculated take on the hows and whys of culture is akin to a caveman’s open-mouthed astonishment at the magic manifestation of fire, is it any wonder that the only viable options these idiots can fathom are the reactive either/or strategies of the politically impotent: resist at all costs or placate and pander.

Raw Talk About Race

Posted on March 18, 2013 by

Within the corrupted confines of William Penn’s Quaker paradise, that was quaintly christened The City of Philadelphia, there is a raging controversy over a tepid magazine article that dared to raise the issue of race from a white city citizen’s perspective.

Take a Look

Being White in Philly: Whites, Race, Class, and the Things that Never Get Said by Robert Huber has garnered a huff-and-puff rebuttal from the mayor of this union-bound financial sinkhole, Michael Nutter.  But Mister Mayor hasn’t been content to just voice his disapproval of the piece, oh no. The Mayor has also instructed the Human Relations Commission to investigate the state of race within the City of Brotherly Love and to punish Philadelphia Magazine for daring to publish what is in essence a straightforward and truthful exposition of how some white citizens of Philly feel about rubbing shoulders with their black neighbors.

The HRC couldn’t wait to jump on their old worn-out blow-hard bandwagon, characterizing the article as ‘insensitive’ and ‘perpetuating stereotypes’.   Gee, it would seem that the members of the HRC haven’t spent much time in the working-class neighborhoods of Philly, neighborhoods that used to be safe, clean, and healthy when they were predominately white neighborhoods.  Yep, let’s just say it the way it really is.

When you read the article, you’ll see how much the author soft-peddles his thesis–it’s most definitely written from a liberal perspective.  But even the hint that some blacks in Philly are a serious threat to the health and well-being of their white neighbors can not be tolerated by the pseudo tolerant zealots that dominate the America of today.

There are now thousands of comments to Huber’s article over at Philadelphia Magazine.  And it’s in the comment section that the real raw talk about race gets a public platform.  It’s a genuine dialogue of divergent views, the good, the bad, and the ugly.  A far cry from the nauseating goody-two-shoes bullcrap that will be served up at the HRC black victim-hood rally coming soon to a Philly multicultural neighborhood near you.

Here’s one of the better perspectives offered up by a newcomer to our American shores:

Blacks are not the only group of people who have suffered. My family emigrated from Serbia. People in my family and other Serbs were pulled out of their homes at gun point, beaten, raped, starved and killed mostly because of their race and religion.  It was a bloodbath.  Brutal.

When my family was lucky enough to come to America legally, they were dirt poor.  Yes, some people discriminated against them in America but they didn’t let that ugliness turn them into “professional victims”.

They worked long hours at very difficult menial jobs for very little pay yet they persisted.  And they even ended-up owning their own business. And they considered it an honor to learn English and a privilege to become an American.

My family had pride and determination—they didn’t cry poor-mouth or tell others that there was little to no food in the house.  They never had their hands out or whined and complained about their hardship. They just worked hard.  And they insisted that their children study and be good students as well as hold after-school and summer jobs and help with work in the house.  No slouching off.

The choice in life is to stay stuck in a past that keeps you a miserable slave and fills you with hate and rage or forgive and forget the past, and give yourself and your children the best quality of life possible.

And be loving and appreciative.  You are responsible for your own happiness or unhappiness in life.

Hard work and taking responsibility for your own life and the lives of the babies you create.  Unfortunately, these are basic human values missing from inner city black culture.

It’s getting nigh unto impossible any more to continue to make pathetic excuses for what is essentially a dysfunctional and dangerous inner city black culture. Decades of affirmative action, minority quotas, job and college giveaways, diversity scams, media pandering, victim-hood ideology, and government checks—and what do we have to show for it?  Gigantic chips on the shoulders of a generation of illiterate inner city Blacks whose social values are so criminally corrupted that they have become an intrinsic threat to society at large.

Why Are So Many Lesbians Fat?

Posted on March 13, 2013 by

Fat CatThat earth-shattering question is being asked by researchers at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston.  And just to show how important it is today to pander to the sexual minority movement, the National Institutes of Health have awarded the hospital a $1.5 million grant (aka taxpayers’ hard-earned money) to discover why 75% of the dyke domain is overweight.

Feds Spend $1.5 million to study Obese Lesbians.  “Obesity is one of the most critical public health issues affecting the U.S. today,” the grant states. “Racial and socioeconomic disparities in obesity are receiving increasing attention; however, one area of disparities that is only beginning to be recognized is the striking interplay of gender and sexual orientation.”

Goddess forbid that these chuckle heads actually admit that so much of what passes for an alternative sexual orientation lifestyle is down right unhealthy in one way or another.  But somehow I don’t think that any researcher today, especially one living and working in the liberal la-la land of Massachusetts will be stating the obvious any time soon.

Check out the story over at Fox News, read the comments, and put in your two cents worth.  I couldn’t resist responding to a comment made by a self-described overweight lesbian by the name of Jo Ann Jury who seemed to think that blubber was a courageous anti-male political statement of sister solidarity.  And she also absurdly remarked that most lesbians don’t really care much about weight when choosing a partner.  Well, based on my personal experience of usually being the slimmest lesbian at any dyke gathering, I can attest to the fact that lesbians do indeed dig svelte.

Here’s my Fox News retort:

As a slender lesbian, I’ve got to say: What absolute nonsense, Jo Ann!

It doesn’t take a million dollar grant to see why so many middle-aged and older lesbians are fat and unhealthy.  And the fat epidemic has nothing whatsoever to do with men nor with any other left-over lesbian feminist hogwash from the 1970s.

There are myriad reasons for the majority of middle-aged lesbians being overweight, such as: depression, lack of self-respect, poor self-image, junk food diets, poor health habits, lack of exercise, etc.

And the lesbian lifestyle, with its serial monogamy, endless cheating, shallow sense of community, can all be added to the mix here.

Maybe you need to stop carrying your fat as a badge of faux feminist courage and begin to treat it as the emotional and physical health issue that it is.

And lesbians do indeed care about weight and appearance, just like anyone else.  But heck, if 75% of the potential dating pool is overweight, well, that doesn’t give one much of a choice, does it?

Nun Pleads Guity to Voter Fraud: A Little Nunsense from the Left

Posted on March 11, 2013 by

Geraldine--The Devil Made Me Do ItIt would appear that even a 25-year membership in a Catholic religious order coupled with a distinguished Deanship at a Catholic college can’t cleanse the political soul of some of these holier-than-thou Lefty Fraus.

Sister Marguerite Kloos, member of the Sisters of Charity and the Dean of Arts and Humanities at the College of Mount St. Joseph located in suburban Cincinnati, stated that she would plead guilty to the charge of illegal voting.  Last November, Sister Marge not only cast her own ballot in that hard-fought presidential election, she also pulled the Obama lever a second time in devout remembrance of one of her dearly departed colleagues.

Sister Marge has shown a little humility by having the decency to resign from the Deanship.  But she also serves as Associate Professor of Religious and Pastoral Studies and teaches a course entitled Feminist Theology and the Spiritual Care of Women.  Feminism is a theology?  And taught as such at a Catholic college?  Well, well, well.  Now you know how I magically divined that this dame was a dyed-in-the-wool social justice Democrat who just couldn’t resist the self-righteous temptation to perpetrate a political fraud.

If you take a look at the mission statement of the College of Mount St. Joseph, you’ll get an idea of why a Catholic college education today is nothing more than a corrupted load of Left-wing crapola:

The College educates its students through interdisciplinary liberal arts and professional curricula emphasizing values, integrity and social responsibility.

Emphasizing values and social responsibility…..and within that loaded political context the college clowns toss in the word integrity.  Sounds benign enough, doesn’t it?  But what the actual values are for this Catholic institution can only be implied since the mission statement seems to sidestep any defining specificity.  But it doesn’t take an angelic visitation to glimpse the Marxist-Socialist-Feminist Multicultural angle that is probably saturating most of this Catholic college’s liberal propaganda courses.

So all you good Catholics out there, forget about God the Father, and the hell with Jesus Christ, and who gives a hoot about the Holy Spirit.  There is a new sacred Trinity within the religious and educational bureaucracies of the Catholic Church today.  And all you know-nothing laity out there must now genuflect to the godhead embodied in Marx, Lenin, and Barack Obama.

And when you worship the ideologies of atheistic posers to political power, a little voter fraud in the name of THE PEOPLE seems small indeed when you’re in the service of the secular Satan.

Getting Paid to Loaf—A Non-Working Workers’ Paradise

Posted on February 6, 2013 by

Yep, in our brave new Obama world, many do indeed get paid handsomely to simply loaf for wages.  And the paychecks with the most dough for daily doing nothing come imprinted with the stamp of the union label.

Whether it’s billions of dollars for Obama’s greedy needy campaign, better known as the Pay Our Political Cronies stimulus fund, or the financial fiascos of the poor and perpetually pathetic United States Post Office, the ready cash for humankind clunkers keeps flowing and flowing and flowing.

Productivity be damned!  GNP be gone!  Inefficiency, incompetence, greed, and corruption have got all the goof-offs in their porky hip pockets.  And the sorry tale of the American economy becomes just another Abbott and Costello routine.

What, exactly, is standby time?  Due to union agreements, postal workers can’t be laid off or reassigned during periods of low mail volume. Even if they’re not needed on the job, postal employees still show up at work (and get paid) for what’s known as standby time—which basically amounts to hanging out in a break room, conference room, or cafeteria for a few hours, perhaps all day.  The scene calls to mind the New Yorker story about “rubber rooms” where New York City teachers accused of incompetence or misconduct sit idly for months, sometimes years, doing nothing except showing up to continue collecting paychecks.

AND….

So far, 34 companies that were offered federal support from taxpayers are faltering — either having gone bankrupt or laying off workers or heading for bankruptcy. This list includes only those companies that received federal money from the Obama Administration’s Department of Energy and other agencies. The amount of money indicated does not reflect how much was actually received or spent but how much was offered. The amount also does not include other state, local, and federal tax credits and subsidies, which push the amount of money these companies have received from taxpayers even higher.

The complete list of faltering or bankrupt green-energy companies:

Evergreen Solar ($25 million)*

SpectraWatt ($500,000)*

Solyndra ($535 million)*

Beacon Power ($43 million)*

Nevada Geothermal ($98.5 million)

SunPower ($1.2 billion)

First Solar ($1.46 billion)

Babcock and Brown ($178 million)

EnerDel’s subsidiary Ener1 ($118.5 million)*

Amonix ($5.9 million)

A Lesson for Black History Month: Stop Your Whining!

Posted on January 29, 2013 by

As the cold climes of February draw upon us, we are once again faced with that official government-sponsored 28-day festival of obeisance innocuously known as Black History Month.  This yearly exercise in collective condescension typically highlights the accomplishments of historical Black figures, those hard-working heroes from times gone by who serve the progressive purpose of providing role models for the kiddies while keeping the victim-hood hustle safely status quo.

WhiningYou certainly won’t find conservative Black role models offered up for admiration by the divide-and-conquer culture marauders, even though this February marks the 37th anniversary of Black History Month in America.  Men and women like Les Brown, Herman Cain, Allen West, Tim Scott, Thomas Sowell, Condoleezza Rice, Clarence Thomas, Michael Steele, J. C. Watts, Gary Franks, Jennifer Carroll, Alveda King, and Edward Brooke certainly aren’t on the liberal hit parade of African American people to be emulated, admired, and respected.  Instead, each of these fine men and women represent the modern-day Left-wing version of the Invisible Man—they embody the new Ralph Ellison prototype of racial oppression.

Yes indeed, the Uppity Negro Mentality is alive and well, creatively reinvented by white progressives who diligently denigrate successful self-made African Americans.  Ain’t it amazing, that almost 148 years after the close of the Civil War, American Blacks are still expected to shuffle along for the Democrat Man.

Flim-Flam Feminism Explained

Posted on January 8, 2013 by

Isn’t it amazing how a grassroots struggle for women’s rights has morphed into a bureaucratic big money estrogen industry politically fueled and fleeced by academic and corporate flim-flam feminists?

Here’s a classic feminist convoluted ‘conversation’ that nicely expresses the intellectual pretenses of the Weird Sisters of the Women’s Studies Stalinist Movement.

Feminism: Freedom to be the Taxpayers’ Dependent

or to put it another way….

Woman: Government’s Bitch

Helen MacInnes, the Queen of Spy Thrillers, is Back on the Market

Posted on January 8, 2013 by

Helen MacInnesLast summer, Helen MacInnes’ bestseller spy novels were reissued in paperback and now some of her classic spy thrillers are available electronically from Amazon for download to your Kindle.  If you’re not familiar with Helen MacInnes’ books, you might be aware of the exciting films that were produced based on four of her novels: Above Suspicion (1943) starring Joan Crawford and Fred MacMurry, Assignment in Brittany (1943) starring Jean-Pierre Aumont and Susan Peters, The Venetian Affair (1967) starring Robert Vaughn and Elke Sommer, and The Salzburg Connection (1972) starring Barry Newman and Anna Karina.

MacInnes traveled extensively throughout Europe during the 1930s with her husband, Gilbert Highet, a university professor and a secret agent for the British Intelligence Service, MI6.  MacInnes experienced firsthand what she later described in her first spy thriller, Above Suspicion—the totalitarian twisting of the European continent during the rise of the Nazis in Germany and Austria.

Here’s a little background on this grande dame of fiction from Wikipedia:

Helen MacInnes was born in Glasgow on October 7, 1907.  She graduated from the University of Glasgow in Scotland in 1928 with a degree in French and German.  After receiving her M.A., MacInnes continued her studies at University College, London, where she received a diploma in librarianship in 1931.  She married classics scholar Gilbert Highet on September 22, 1932.  In the 1930s, MacInnes collaborated with Highet in translating German literature, which helped finance their summer travels through Europe.  These European excursions gave MacInnes the exposure to the locations which would become the exotic settings of her espionage thrillers in later years.

In 1937, MacInnes and her husband moved to the United States when Highet accepted an appointment as Professor and Chairman of the Department of Classics (Latin and Greek) at Columbia University in New York City.

MacInnes’s third novel, Assignment in Brittany (1942), was required reading for Allied intelligence agents who were being sent to work with the French resistance against the Nazis.   Her 1944 book, The Unconquerables carries such an accurate portrayal of the Polish resistance that some thought she was using classified information given to her by her husband.

In her later books, she shifted her subject matter from World War II to the Cold War and continued to produce about one book every two years until her final novel Ride a Pale Horse (1984).  She died in 1985.

I devoured MacInnes’ espionage novels when I was a kid at a time when you could only find copies of her stories hidden away in the local library.  So it’s fantastic to see there is a renewed interest in her work.  I highly recommend her books.

Calling All Conservative Lesbians in Seattle, WA

Posted on January 6, 2013 by

If you are a conservative lesbian living in the Seattle metropolitan area, then please take note of the following social Meetup group that is getting underway in your neck of the USA.

Get Connected

My friend and I in the Seattle area are trying to form a social group of lesbian conservative women for social events and chat sessions. We are sincerely concerned about the state of our nation and would like to have a social connection with others sharing our same views.

If you have felt as though you don’t fit in certain situations because of your conservative leanings, have felt shunned within your social group or been labeled a “traitor” of the gay community, this is a place for you to feel comfortable and to socialize.

We would like to form a community of women that are informed of the current issues, want to discuss them, vent their frustrations, and feel safe in a supportive setting.  We are not looking to change anyone’s mind. The women of this group don’t agree with the issues 100%, but have similar viewpoints on fiscal and government conservatism.

We are concerned about government overreach and the chipping away of the constitution and individual rights. We may not all be religious, but we are against the squashing of religious freedom, particularly what we see happening to Christian beliefs.

We are against Obama’s handling of the economy and feel that his agenda does not include the best interests of the country.

We would like to spread the word that the ideals of conservatism benefit all Americans including gay people. Free markets, individual liberty, state sovereignty, the right to bear arms are what made America a great and prosperous nation, and we are currently watching it being transformed into something far from that. We stand for individual freedom, so of course, we are proponents of gay rights.

If you want to get together with other like-minded women while being free and authentic with your views, come join us for some good food, discussion and fun.

To contact us and join the group go to the following link: http://www.meetup.com/Conservative-Lesbians-of-Seattle/

Now surely, if there are conservative dykes living within the confines of the ultra-progressive Starbucks socialist justice jurisdiction, then there are most definitely many more Liberty Lesbians living all across this great land of ours.

Get Connected!

Why Talk Radio Can be Hazardous to the Conservative Cause

Posted on January 2, 2013 by

If you are a connoisseur of Conservative Talk Radio, you may be unwittingly undermining the very cause you hold so dear while at the same time sucker-punching your battered psyche into the depths of clinical despair.

WARNING: Your daily dose of didactic diarrhea spewed forth from the ever open mouths of radio’s right-of-center provocateurs can present an insidious hazard to your mental health and a corrosive curse on the conservative movement.

Talking Heads

Here are the Seven Deadly Syndromes inflicted on the patriotic public by Conservative Talk Radio:

  1. Defeatism.  Too much of what passes for discussion on conservative Talk Radio is a seemingly endless stream of negatively reactive babble that boldly goes where only the Borg would dare to tread.  After three hours of being pummeled by a Tokyo Rose of Talk Radio, who wouldn’t fall to their trembling knees in total submission, screaming out the mantra of the cowardly crowd-pleaser: Resistance is Futile!

  2. Victimization.  The sense of helplessness engendered by listening to hours worth of cultural catastrophes supposedly befalling the country we love can only lead to a Victim-hood mentality.  And that Woe is Us meme seeps into the pores of the faithful spreading its poison of passivity and resignation.  Wringing one’s hands in a daily dirge of Look What They’re Doing to Us! doesn’t keep the troops aware and ready—it keeps them dispirited and depressed.

  3. Anger Creation.  Why would anyone subject themselves to a solid soaking in stress hormones day in and day out?  Yet many of our brothers and sisters in the conservative cause do just that—bathing their psyches in aural doses of manufactured frustration, fear, and anger.  The big talkers sure know how to manipulate the masses and the anger addiction is an easy string to pull when you’re peddling perdition.

  4. Sensationalism.  Hyperbole is the name of the game for so many of these Talking Head hosts.  Hype, hype, and more hype to keep the listeners hooked and the advertisers happy.  With so much outrageous exaggeration dished out every day, it becomes nigh unto impossible to see the forest for the tease.

  5. False Sense of Security.  So many conservative radio listeners seem to think that the well-paid entertainment fixture issuing worth his or her per diem diagnosis of doom and gloom is a godlike guru.  Not only do the actual words of their Glorious One register with the adoring public, but all the vocal nuances of inflection, tone, and pitch are devoured by those folks desperately seeking solace.  On those occasions when the politics seem to be headed in the Right direction, the laity cling to any reassuring pronouncement parceled out by their yammering secular messiah.  Perhaps a sermon needs to be preached on the pitfalls of worshiping false commercial idols—or maybe Obama’s 2013 inauguration speech might bring some of these simpering sinners to salvation.

  6. False Sense of Community.  Many conservatives look to Talk Radio as their on-air friendly neighborhood hangout where like-minded compadres meet to offer up their public say while giving the loyal listener that warm and fuzzy feel of community.  Needless to say, Talk Radio can certainly augment a sense of connection among conservatives, but don’t mistake the radio for a relationship.  If we’re not going to bother to create thriving local conservative communities, we can pretty much forget about changing America’s culture.  The personal is indeed political and the grassroots local level is where the seeds of long-term change are planted.  A gem of genuine wisdom that for some bizarre reason conservatives refuse to grab hold of.

  7. Group Think Reinforcement.  Continuing to listen to the same old pack of howling hyenas baying over the bleeding carcass of Lady Liberty day in and day out only reinforces the same old unworkable and impotent mindsets. What the conservative movement needs more than anything else is effective leadership.  Competent leadership brings new ideas, better strategies, exciting energy, and renewed commitment.  Don’t look to the motley crew of conservative on-air blowhards with their  defensive bombast and Chicken Little hysteria to provide even a semblance of sane, let alone strategic, discourse.

Talk Radio has an important role to play in the world of conservative politics, but unfortunately, the current crop of conversationalists for the most part does very little to contribute to the cause.  To the contrary, too many of them are nothing more than Talking Turnips and Paranoia Pumpers.

But there are exceptions….My general exemptions from the Turnip and Paranoia brood, based on the radio shows I get to audit, are: Bill Bennett, Michael Medved, and Dennis Prager.  But even Mr. Prager seems to be caught in a web of down-talking depression.  He, more than any other on-air talent can articulate the role of culture and its impact on politics.  But Mr. Prager needs to extend the positive concepts highlighted during his Happiness Hour to the rest of his weekly programs—geez, there are times when you’ll need to pop Prozac after listening to his down, down, down delivery.

Hugh Hewitt is informative and Mark Levin has the courage of a street fighter.  We need more of that kind of tough-it-out spirit.  But if they, or any other conservative radio or television personalty, think that our battles are strictly at the ballot box, then all the moxie in the world won’t bring us victory.

Based on the popularity of some of these icons of on-air hot air, don’t look for any change in the line-up any time in the near future or beyond.  Whinging, fear-mongering, sharing that sense of victim-hood and fake family, and of course the clarion call of the lock-step herd, are all very powerful substitutes for strategizing, planning, taking risks, forming real connections, and making things happen.

Keeping Christmas Out of the Secularized Closet

Posted on December 31, 2012 by

Hope everyone had an enjoyable Christmas.  And I also hope that the word holiday hardly ever slipped out from between your culturally clenched teeth.

To close out this Christmas season, I’d like to offer a special salute to those honorable and brave souls who are celebrating the spirit of Christmas front and center on the American, as well as the International, public stage.   Yep, the Christmas flash mob is alive and well, doing its bit to keep our Christmas heritage out of the secularized closet.

Please take particular note of the last video in this 2012 sampler—an airport homecoming Christmas celebration offered by the Northern Ireland Tourist Board.   It’s religiously awesome!
