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...
Christopher Cook, Western Free Press:
No longer does the leftist feel as compelled to make real arguments. All he needs to do now is shout “Racist!” or “War on Women!” and his job is done. He walks away feeling smugly satisfied of his own politically correct superiority, and the untrained observer is left addled at best, and possibly even swayed by the narrative.
So why they are so vicious? Why do people who self-describe as “compassionate” direct such vitriolic hate and assaults at their ideological opponents? How they can justify painting you as such a monster?
Simple: To them, you are a monster. You must be.
All three of the reasons, I see, have to do with this mindset of “We’re trying to build something wonderful, that means anyone who resists us is terrible.”
But, actually building something takes a lot of work. It’s boring. It involves an awful lot of thinking things out, in ways liberals don’t think. A lot of mundane measure-twice-cut-once stuff.
The thing about conflict is, it creates drama, and when you have drama you have a distraction. We see it every time some of President Obama’s policies lead to misery, which is often. WELL, the problem is, those terrible Republicans in Congress opposed His plan, or didn’t fund it properly, or some such.
It looks like a blame-game. And it is. But every now and then, a very disturbing piece of evidence will come out showing that liberals are drawn to this sort of conflict before the plan has even failed. It’s like they’re anticipating the failure, and therefore the need to search for scapegoats.
That, or the conflict is the whole point. Building things, in addition to demanding thought, isn’t fun to watch. “Us against them” is always exciting, especially to a juvenile mind. That’s my theory, anyway; why today’s liberals are so drawn toward noticing, calling-out, and caricaturing their opposition regardless of whether it’s before, during or after their latest Utopian plans have been engaged. It just doesn’t seem to matter.

The left’s favorite totally accurate, completely bias-free information source, Wikipedia, is instructive here:”
Thesis: ObamaCare will lower healthcare costs.
- Severian | 10/02/2014 @ 11:20Antithesis: That’s impossible, since it’s a several-trillion-dollar government program
Synthesis: “You’re a racist if you don’t chant ‘ObamaCare will lower healthcare costs.'”
So who’s gonna’ be the first racist, misoganist, phallonormitive cisbigot, privileged child of the 1% to turn all the stems and seeds from irrigation reliant choom into textiles, bio fuel, and assorted holistic drugs?
- CaptDMO | 10/02/2014 @ 11:56As long as there’s no profit, and plenty of taxes on the “guest” labor force getting $25/hr, “free” pharma/gender reinterpretation, “supplemental” retirement contributions, for unskilled labor……..
What could go wrong? Sure put a damper on that “Egyption” cotton, and “Afghan” rugs, and Pacific Rim “pharma”.
Don’t be silly.
