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...
Conservatism means if an idea is repeatedly demonstrated to be flawed and/or dangerous, after awhile you put it on the shelf where it belongs.
Liberalism means you keep finding excuses so you can implement it over and over again, without regard to whether there’s any variance in the results.

How about:
- Fai Mao | 12/01/2009 @ 17:02Liberals believe that the end justifies the means but conservatives do not.
Well that’s good, too; but it doesn’t work for all issues all the way down the line.
Some asshole dragged a little boy to death underneath his car. Hit and run; cops are looking for him. I told my son if it was up to me, the perp would die by the same means he inflicted on the other. My son told me if he ever takes charge of the country, he’ll see to it that’s how it works. I made the point that there really aren’t too many ideas that are more “centrist” than this. “Extremist conservative” would mean you want something to happen to him that’s worse. To want something to happen to him that’s equivalent, is perfectly moderate. Where in the world did we get any other idea?
On that issue, it’s the “conservatives” that say the end justifies the means. The liberals have some higher ideal they need to support…which can’t be stated coherently.
- mkfreeberg | 12/01/2009 @ 19:49Good point
I was not thinking in terms of criminal justice but things like stealing from tax payer “X” to give to non-taxpayer “Y”
Liberals cannot seem to see that doing evil (Theft, desembling, and such) to bring about a good end turns the good into evil.
Does that make sense?
- Fai Mao | 12/01/2009 @ 23:04Absolutely.
They’re after a social code and tax system that “works for the benefit of everyone”…but their concept of “everyone” is skewed. In fact it’s the antithesis of what “everyone” is supposed to mean.
