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...
Because just about everyone has heard these silly things, like “Christianity is just as threatening as radical Islam”, and reacted by either an eyeball roll, a shrug, or with uncritical acceptance. But John Hawkins points out that there are other ways to play that game, and although we don’t hear too much about these, they do a much better job of reflecting reality:
The more fully people become engulfed by liberalism, the more they embrace political correctness, groupthink, and close-mindedness until their thought process becomes little more than simplistic tribalism.
:
Seldom do liberals realize that they advocate positions that are just as morally repulsive as the grotesque positions they habitually (and usually incorrectly) attribute to people who disagree with them.Want some examples?
:
2) It’s just as bad to support race-based groups like La Raza, MEChA, the New Black Panthers, the Nation of Islam and Al Sharpton’s National Action Network as it is to back the KKK, the Aryan Nation and the American Nazi Party. They may have different levels of societal acceptance, but they’re all race-based groups that are hostile to certain groups of people based on the color of their skin.
:
6) It’s just as bad to support kangaroo courts in colleges that make it easy for men to be falsely accused of rape as it is to be someone who accuses rape victims of having “brought it on themselves” by wearing short skirts. Either way, you’re blaming the victim and making it easier for innocent people to be victimized by the scum of the earth.
From the comments:
Each point in the article is an example of how liberals use identity politics to divide and conquer. The evil here is in not seeing people as individuals but as collections of demographic characteristics they can use to pit one group against another while always claiming to protect the downtrodden from oppressors. In reality they have no interest whatsoever in solving the ills of the downtrodden, they benefit directly from perpetuating the conflict.

“….they benefit directly from perpetuating the conflict.”

“recent polls show…yay for our side”
If it bleeds, it leads! et alia.
I won’t even go into the folks who are paid handsomely by the “market value” of advertising (ie) on the side of the truck involved in the bloody smear on the road, “potentially” seen by any “rubberneckers”, or “On The Scene News” cameras. (what with “free” camera/video phones EVERYWHERE these days.)

- FrodoDLB | 01/28/2015 @ 08:56The Liberals have convinced people that they alone are morally correct. They so far have won on that front. To dispute them is to be an evil to be feared. Fluff up your politically correct talking points with taking the moral high road and the sheep are buying into it.
