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...
This lady’s date with him sounds like some of my dates with liberal woemen, back in the day. Except for the part about his paying for her dinner. Which she then took home. Alone. To eat in peace and quiet.
He asked me what my views were, so I explained that I’m an independent voter, then went on to describe some of my political views such as personal responsibility, accountability, small government, and how able bodied people who live in a perpetual state of dependency on government disgust me, and should be drug tested to qualify for benefits.
He asked me, “Well, what would you do? Take all those people off benefits and just let them starve?”
“Yes,” I said, then added, “for them to get back on benefits they must work at a job chosen for them by the government.”
This horrified him. I could tell by the look on his face. I knew my friend had punked me, and had instead set me up with a liberal. He went on for a little while longer on how views such as mine are selfish, and that its more noble to take care of those less fortunate.
I countered with facts and information. He shot back with thinly veiled personal attacks.
It was clear that Libdude’s anger was about to reach critical mass as his face turned red, and the veins in his neck started to bulge. As I sat there calmly leaning back in my chair, probably smirking, sweat accumulated on his brow. I don’t know why, but I found that really humorous. I couldn’t resist the urge to see if I could get his face to change from red to almost purple by going on and on about how ignorant, and sometimes even stupid liberals and Democrats are; that they cant debate unless they are calling names, or changing the subject. Looking right in his eyes with a serious look on my face, I leaned forward and quietly said, “I cant imagine having to spend more than a minute or two in the presence of a liberal who is talking about politics!”

It’s been my general experience that where liberals implode most immediately, is where it’s revealed that they don’t live in the same universe as normal people. When you point out that the tenth amendment actually means something, that the second amendment actually means something…if we subsidize an activity we should expect to see more of it, if we raise taxes on something we should expect to see a lot less of it, that you can’t claim to be treating people equally if you’re providing advantages to targeted classes. That if the Government provides a “stimulus” then it must ultimately have a neutral effect, at the very best, since the money had to come from somewhere.
That’s when the sissy-fangs come out, when the hissing and spitting starts. That’s when they change the subject into what a terrible person you must be. And cease on the spot any discussion of what the primary topic is supposed to be. I suppose that’s because this is where they’d have to start admitting they’ve been indoctrinated, and easily, in the very moment of their bragging about what independent thinkers they are. They can’t face the truth.

Ahhh…I think I see the problem here.
There are liberal folk of reasonable discussion/integrity skills. I know some. I’m friends with some.
Those that vote are most assuredly registered Democrats.
There ARE folks who are taught what to think while held in captive audience, and at the mercy of

I’m not sure it’s that they’re “liberals” (by any other name) that makes them stupid in my eyes, but more that folks who are stupid in my eyes ONLY have “liberal” groups to turn to for ongoing playmates.
A societal minimal “default setting” if you will.
Title IX for section VIII?
As for Second Amendment “issues” from Captain Capitalism,
- CaptDMO | 05/11/2014 @ 10:37Ask those, generally of- (hash tag) bring “our” girls home- ilk about the Nigerian “common sense” gun laws, you know,…”for the children”. ESPECIALLY the folks DEMANDING that “somebody” go after these
“newly discovered” evildoers. Ask them to actually read the Islamic “instruction manual” too.
Might want to slip in the whole “If only WOMEN were in charge” bit as well.
It’s really cultish behavior, you know?
My lovely Ladybug, among her many fine qualities, loves her mom and sister – and this bond covers watching horrible Lifetime movies (especially if an actor she’s heard of is in one) and laughing about them with the family. One recent TV dreadful was about a girl who runs away from home and falls in with a lady who is innately good at brainwashing. The runaway gets broken down then consoled, told she’s special but obviously doesn’t want to be if she’s clinging to her old life or wants to have other interests as well, threatened with expulsion and punished harshly, seemingly at random, only to be forgiven and treated generously again… all the classic psych moves to build a prison without any physical restraint.
Libdude shows all the classic symptoms of someone who’s had that done to him by the educational and cultural atmosphere, who’s now out in the wild and trying to deal with someone who’s sidestepped all those traps. The very first warning sign – “What are your views?” – who asks that on a first date? Isn’t that something that is gradually revealed during the natural course of conversation? But there is no such thing in a cultish mind. The cultish viewpoint is uppermost, if not exclusive, and there is only that one side to life. I’ve no doubt Queen A would have been met with the same attitude had she simply professed not to particularly care about the question at all. The snarling would have been about her “inattention” rather than her “selfishness”. No neutrality allowed! Pick a side, and pick our side. Gives me the creeps.
