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...
I think freedomanddemocracy needs a more prominent forum in which he can express his views. He makes my point for me; I could type and type and type, all afternoon long, and I couldn’t express on purpose what this guy is expressing by accident.
He says because he’s a liberal, he isn’t being judgmental. Then he goes through the entire video being exactly that.
He’s a liberal after all. I’m not calling him that — it’s his word.
Very much like a guy who wants to molest kids, becoming a volleyball coach. Or a guy who likes to beat people up, becoming a cop. Or a guy who likes to give orders to others who make more money than he does, becoming an airport security screener. If you want to judge people you become a liberal; then, you get the situations in which you can practice your chosen craft, along with no insignificant degree of what would be called “cover.”
Phil adds a link to this cartoon to a comment. Seems appropriate to the subject immediately under discussion:
Bigotry is subtly different from sexism. Kate, living North of the border, gives us a taste of what kind of bigotry her Canadian tax dollars buy for her — whether she wants them to or not:
…Sarah Palin … fit of pique … the white trash vote … sexual inadequates … she isn’t even female really … Alaska hillbilly … “white trash” … trailer trash … rural, loud, proudly unlettered … toned-down version of the porn actress … overtreated hair, puffy lips … “pramface” … roughneck fuckin’ redneck … prodding his daughter … ratboy … fizzing with rage and revenge … vicious and profoundly dishonest … good fast listing… nervous wreck with deeply strange hair … the hick vote … ordinary hillbilly … racism? … racism … “rectal fissure” … tense no-hoper ladies … white female marginals …
On the other side of the coin, Cassy is getting some help out, and this movement is really starting to take off. Wunderbar! Watch and learn, freedomanddemocracy.

Diane, commenting in the thread below (#34) has some bumper stickers available on eBay. You need to go look at the bumper sticker, just to see her comments. Just a sampling:
I woke up this morning to people on the radio speculating on the exact time, place and moment that Bristol Palin became pregnant. This was being talked over as a way to attack Governor Palin as an unfit mother, who should never had been Governor. “If we just prove that she was ‘being Governor’ at the time of conception, then we’ve got her”.
What on earth has happened to people? Only women who remain childless can run for public office? Only women with perfect families can run for office? The mothers’ of special needs kids are disqualified? If a teenage girl gets pregnant and her mother should quit her job in disgrace?
I will not allow Sarah to stand alone. I am Sarah Palin!
No, no freedomanddemocracy guy. No way are people like you being sexist. No…freakin’…way. Just keep slingin’ that liberal slop, and we’ll think the best of you. We’ll be forced to. You’ll make sure.
That’s what it’s all about, right?

Its been said before and needs to be said a million times:
Progressive Liberalism is a Secular Religion
Being a member of the Progressive Liberal church absolves you from all sin.
Except the sin of heresy, which is the ultimate sin.
Not being a member of the church of Progressive Liberalism means that you aren’t even human. A lesser being than the plants and animals; at least they are part of the environment.
Progressive Liberals are oh, so tolerant of other liberals. But non-liberals? they don’t deserve any tolerance. Only anger, venom, hostility, derision, ad infinitum.
Smell the RIGHTEOUSNESS!!!!
- eman | 09/09/2008 @ 21:58I’m sorry, I couldn’t get past the first minute of freedomanddemocracy’s self-absorbed, pompus rant.
But even that first minute was enough to see that — yup. Morgan’s right.
eman — that was well put.
