Alarming News: I like Morgan Freeberg. A lot.
American Digest: And I like this from "The Blog That Nobody Reads", because it is -- mostly -- about me. What can I say? I'm on an ego trip today. It won't last.
Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler: We were following a trackback and thinking "hmmm... this is a bloody excellent post!", and then we realized that it was just part III of, well, three...Damn. I wish I'd written those.
Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler: ...I just remembered that I found a new blog a short while ago, House of Eratosthenes, that I really like. I like his common sense approach and his curiosity when it comes to why people believe what they believe rather than just what they believe.
Brutally Honest: Morgan Freeberg is brilliant.
Dr. Melissa Clouthier: Morgan Freeberg at House of Eratosthenes (pftthats a mouthful) honors big boned women in skimpy clothing. The picture there is priceless--keep scrolling down.
Exile in Portales: Via Gerard: Morgan Freeberg, a guy with a lot to say. And he speaks The Truth...and it's fascinating stuff. Worth a read, or three. Or six.
Just Muttering: Two nice pieces at House of Eratosthenes, one about a perhaps unintended effect of the Enron mess, and one on the Gore-y environ-movie.
Mein Blogovault: Make "the Blog that No One Reads" one of your daily reads.
The Virginian: I know this post will offend some people, but the author makes some good points.
Poetic Justice: Cletus! Ah gots a laiv one fer yew...
As I’ve written before a few times, it being a recent obsession of mine: Conservatism is all about the symbiotic relationship pre-existing — liberalism is all about requiring a governmental program to make one. Conservatives believe, before we even begin to figure out what we’re going to do on any given day, separate classes are already united in common struggles and laboring under common interests. Liberals believe each class is tearing at the jugular of the next one…or else, is having it’s jugular so targeted by the previous one.
That’s what the issues are all about. All of them. Each and every single one, even the ones that appear to be constructed upside-down from this. Terrorism, for example, in which conservatives say we should carpet-bomb the terrorists and liberals say we should drink tea with them. That isn’t about a symbiotic relationship with the terrorists, you know; the terrorists already decided whether or not that was possible, when they started trying to kill us. That issue is about the inherent right to self-defense: Liberals don’t think we’re worth it. Still think liberals are all about universal brotherhood? Here, try this. Lift up all the pablum a liberal has to say about terrorists, how we need to look for “common ground” with them, hear their “grievances,” “negotiate,” make “peace.” Now take all those empty catchphrases, strip them of all the euphemisms for “terrorist” and in the place of those words, put in “conservative” and “Republican.”
Will the liberal still step up to those words and put his name under them?
I rest my case.
But I digress. Liberals don’t think labor shares common interests with management, straights share common interests with homosexuals, women share common interests with men, ethnic share common interests with whites. They don’t believe in any of that stuff. When they want to do something, half the time, supposedly it has to do with making such a symbiotic relationship where it didn’t exist before. The other half of the time, they want to give special privileges and rights to one class, at the expense of another. But they never, ever, ever believe any two classes among us can be swimming in the same direction…can help each other out…can both mutually benefit from a common action.
Voice your belief in Trickle-Down economics, for example — and a whole gaggle of liberals will be down your throat, chastising you, scolding you, bullying you, screeching away. It isn’t that they know you’re wrong. It’s that they can’t afford to have anyone thinking this way.
With that in mind:
Yes, I know they didn’t title it that way, and they aren’t presenting it that way, for they cannot afford to. But it’s true. And there’s a reason this fills you with pleasant thoughts. It’s the way the Good Lord built you. We’re all God’s children. Except for those hate-filled scumbags who walk Creation for no greater purpose than to snuff a few of us out.
Beer: Celebrating our universal brotherhood and our inherent sense of togetherness, Republican style.
H/T: Buck. Although, of course, my raving lunatic liberal-bashing comments are my own, as always.

Ah… you’re not quite the lunatic liberal-basher you think you are, Morgan. Didja check the latest comment to my post on this vid? Now there’s a lunatic lib-basher, LOL! (That said, I like the guy, even though he’s over the top most of time.)
Thanks for the linky-love, as always!
