The state of Missouri has a ballot initiative to regulate puppy mills, aimed to prevent such typical puppy mill luxuries as forced inbreeding and keeping females perpetually pregnant until they drop dead before age five. Naturally there is a cohort of tea-partiers in Missouri who; well, their language cannot be precisely translated to English, so there's really no way to know for sure, but they seem to think that the measure is really bad.
Well, according to the Alliance For Truth, the main force behind the anti-Prop B movement, there is something much more nefarious afoot (er, apaw) in the HSUS measure. The Alliance For Truth claims that the HSUS has a "radical agenda" and is "misleading the public with its intentions on Prop B. The society seeks only to raise the cost of breeding dogs, making it ever-more difficult for middle-class American families to be dog-owners."
Anita Andrews from Alliance For Truth told TPM that it's a "deceptive, lying bill" that is "trying to purposefully get rid of the breeders." The state of Missouri, she said, has been given a bad rap as "the puppy mill capitol" of the U.S. but "in truth we have the best ribbon breeders in the country." And, Andrews said, the state already has anti-cruelty laws on the books.
"They don't like animals," she said of the Humane Society of the United States.
Andrews also explained that Cass Sunstein, "one of the biggest animal rights activists," and President Obama's Administrator of the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, is tied to the HSUS, and is helping them give Obama "a punch list" of the animals rights activists' agenda.
You see, there's a difference between animal rights activists and animal welfare activists. Unlike the HSUS, Sunstein, and other animal rights activists, animal welfare activists like the Alliance For Truth have "no intention of wiping every animal off this earth," Andrews said. Animal welfare activists believe in hunting and that people should take care of animals.
Rights activists, on the other hand, think "humans and animals are on the same level, ownership of an animal is slavery," and that "animals should have attorney representation" (presumably so every dog can have his day in court).

All this garble raises a somewhat important question; what, to the right-winger, is 'big government'?
In North Platte I knew a man who scoffed at any constitutional challenge a suspect made against an arrest or other police action. This man would always rail on and on against the rights and luxuries that criminals supposedly receive at the expense of victims. Then on the day this man got a ticket for parking the wrong way on a neighborhood street he responded by screaming profanities for twenty minutes, destroying a couple hundred dollars worth of his own property, and calling city hall over and over again, growing ever more enraged as whoever was answering his calls refused to stay on the line and let him abuse her. The tyranny of the twenty dollar ticket would not stand.
In the end it's very simple. The right-winger will support any law or regulation passed by legitimate White Male authority figures, so long as it is seen as telling the poor, the brown, the heathen, or the female what they can't do. He will support the harshest penalties for crimes associated with social outgroups; drug use, prostitution, petty theft, etc, for so long as he sees the law as a tool for keeping these people under heel where they belong. It is those laws seen as imposing on White, Male, Christian prerogative that bring out cries of Marxism. A two percent tax hike on the rich is far more tyrannical than restrictions on contraception, or minority religious rights, not because of the amount of liberty being restrained but whose liberty is being restrained.
It should be self-evident that it is the States security powers; police and military, are the best friends of any would-be dictator. (Which isn't to say that cops and soldiers are evil, it's just the Lockean compromise of accepting State authority in return for civilization.) Yet the right-winger is completely unbothered by the power of the Pentagon or the fact that the US has far more of its citizens locked up than any other democracy. What the right-winger fears and hates is 'bureaucracy'. He is enraged by the host of minor, practical (or perhaps not so much) impositions on his own affairs, the laundry list of rules and regulations that are inevitable in any complex society. He hates the small day-to-day laws that apply to all, not because they impose on his rights as a citizen, but because they remind him that he is only a citizen and not a feudal lord. It is intolerable that he should have to walk twenty feet out the door to smoke a cigarette. It is justice that someone else should sit in jail for smoking a joint.
Getting back then to the rant quoted in the TPM article; who is it that generally runs these puppy mills? White, rural, "Common Clay of the New West" types mostly, and I'd hazard to guess there is also a fair number of loudly self-professing Christians among them. And now there is a proposed law that seeks to tell these Real Americans what they can and can't do with their property; Real Americans are being told that they are entitled to something less than absolute life-or-death dominance of other creatures. Naturally this must be opposed, and to keep with the rarefied dignity of Real Americans this opposition must be presented as a cosmic battle against unfathomable evil.
We can laugh at the hysteria of it, as well we should, but we laugh only because we are elitist enough to think that making any damn sense is more important than being righteous.

Shout Out:http://www.overcomingbias.com/2010/09/opinion-warning-signs.html
Signs that your opinions function more to signal loyalty and ability than to estimate truth:
1. You find it hard to be enthusiastic for something until you know that others oppose it.
2. You have little interest in getting clear on what exactly is the position being argued.
3. Realizing that a topic is important and neglected doesn’t make you much interested.
4. You have little interest in digging to bigger topics behind commonly argued topics.
5. You are less interested in a topic when you don’t foresee being able to talk about it.
6. You are uncomfortable taking a position near the middle of the opinion distribution.
7. You are uncomfortable taking a position of high uncertainty about who is right.
8. You care far more about current nearby events than similar distant or past/future events.
9. You find it easy to conclude that those who disagree with you are insincere or stupid.
10. You are reluctant to change your publicly stated positions in response to new info.
11. You are reluctant to agree a rival’s claim, even if you had no prior opinion on the topic.
12. You are reluctant to take a position that raises the status of rivals.
13. You care more about consistency between your beliefs than about belief accuracy.
14. You go easy on sloppy arguments by folks on “your side.”
15. You have little interest in practical concrete implications of commonly argued topics.
16. Your opinion doesn’t much change after talking with smart folks who know more.
17. You are especially eager to drop names when explaining positions and arguments.
18. You find it hard to list weak points and counter-arguments on your positions.
19. You feel passionately about at topic, but haven’t sought out much evidence.
20. You are reluctant to not have an opinion on commonly discussed topics.
21. More?
-Robin Hanson
Most of these points describe several people I know.
For some reason I'm reminded in particular of this time back in 2004. I was at a family gathering and; was called upon to describe the details of Jenna Cooper's slaying. I recited the known facts as dryly as I could and as soon as I was done a male relative of mine; without saying a thing about this particular case, regally stated his belief that convicted murderers should always get the death penalty.
I was struck by how he obviously considered the chance to assert this belief as the essential point of the conversation; and I'd even say that some part of him believes that murder exists for the purpose of giving others the chance to affirm their anti-murderer credentials. And while this sort of moral vanity has never been uncommon and expresses itself in various ways more harmful than this it was still a damned tawdry display all the same.

Chrisma Woman Gets Fucking Epic
FREE CHINA
Get white masks on from bed sheets. Water down any subliminal; cell phones, TVs, computers, brown thin long needles, tiny white cubes and subliminators.
New Chinese leaders can improve by having the highest level manage specific services. Natural gas, elem-entary schools, roads, res-ervoirs, electricity, zoning, taxes, rice production, clo-thing, imports, tourism, arid lands, swimming pools and voting can be some services.
Every leader of a separate service can have a complaint center, a freedom center, and technical advisers. Let five upper managers vote on their technical regulations and humane laws.
A less organized teacher is over stressed so she shouts, screams and punishes often. She reorganizes by posting rules and exact repercussions, sets specific goals and a date when work shall be done. She shouts less because pupils know exactly what to do to be nicer and produce more in less time.
A government should let all citizens know the laws and exact repercussions so they all calm down to be nicer and more content.
Let the people have free-dom and they can complain so the people improve easily.
Let the people have free-dom of thought and they get smarter and nicer.
To have made an insideous homicidal method such as a subliminal could end all marriages. A tiny argument and the wife puts a fuzzy on the sternum of her husband and does away with him. Why would anybody even marry in China? Why would anybody attempt to get a job when anybody knows how to
do away with anybody. Anarchy and so much lone-liness without job or family ends all your population soon.
Babies already are dumber from subliminals in China. Babies have softer formed skulls than adults and are more likely to have brain inflammation more pro-foundly sooner.
Governments must never let persons have an insidious homicidal method. There won’t be a government in China. There won’t be a police man anymore. There won’t be persons to pick up the groceries anymore. They would soon be too upset and afraid to get a fuzzy on the sternum.
Making your population so mean to the nicest Americans means Chinese will have even less reserve to do away with each other at the slight-est whim.
All governments should be formed to make citizens nicer.
Can Americans approve of a genociding Chinese leader? No. Dr. Wu in the 1990s revealed that protesters were left standing in toxic waste. After five or ten minutes they fell down and passed away.
The Chinese government has a policy of taking two kidneys from protesters and using their bodies for science.
All Chinese wives are depressed from having a forced abortion whenever they are pregnant the second time and thereafter. Police enter the home and handcuff the wife to the bed and extract the fetus. The husband sometimes is forced to watch.
Chinese can have norplant birth control implanted into their underarm. After 5 years they get a new norplant again from the American company.
Chinese subliminators here answered an ad to teach English. They are nice Chi-nese liking Americans turned into homociders here in the United States.
Although Chinese have made impressive advances with having private bus-inesses and skyscraper tall
cities, Chinese government has put surveillance in every office, store, factory, home, street, TV, cell phone and computer as well as sub-liminals there too.
There are no psychologists in China. It is thought that their government does away with those that have im-perfect mental health inclu-ding those that have given subliminals for a while.
To surrender to Divine is the easiest surrender in history. Wet the subliminals.
We all want freedom of thought to think, to be free to think our own thoughts, to discern good from bad, for freedom of speech and to improve. Chinese all know persons that went to labor camps. A frightened people are too scared to produce very much. Chinese can state “Divine I care for weak persons” for a nicer society.
FUZZY STERNUM
If you feel chest pains put your finger on the sternum. Does the sternum vibrate? If so you have a subliminal fuzzy from Chinese. Keep this list:
Eat garlic or onions
Heating pad on back
Hot potatoes in hands
Mustard poultice chest
Use ace bandage to place
poultice on chest
Epsom salts feet and head
Slouch sitting
Don’t move much
Aspirin
Vinpocetine pill
Hydrogen peroxide poultice
Honey or yogurt on chest
Cough drops
State ‘ema’ transcendental meditation mantra over and over for easy healing of the cardiac area. Start by stating ‘Divine ema, ema, ema” whenever you begin again so your words are shielded.
When you can buy an infrared mat at 888 531-6982 good for any kind of recu-peration. Magnesium oil can relax and healing the cardiac area. Buy at 800 824-4491.
Sleep strips might help at 888 610-3872 with ten for $28.
Do not risk going to an emergency room as they pretend to give EKG with one jolt of electricity. Actual EKG is administered for about 5 minutes to graph cardiac pulse over time. Do you receive a copy of the graph? No. Can you view a CD of your EKG? No. It is a fraud.
Ask hospitals to have only hand written health charts and that you receive a copy after every visit. There are foreigners that now can get MeCentricin software to change any American elec-tronic health record to have lethal doses or advance directives on it.
Instead let’s receive a paper copy of our health chart like we do for a car bill with diagnosis and work done. It is best to have the health chart in our own control anyway.
DIVINE I WET
SUBLIMINALS
In case your home has been entered into by Chinese and you have noticed brown thin long needle subliminals laying around, first wet the subliminals for 10 seconds. State “Divine I wet sublime-inals” over and over while working.
Bar the door like in the middle ages with two metal U shapes bolted to the door and a long steel stick across door. Ask a welder to put one in today.
You may try the door jammer from Home Depot but foreigners push a thin inch wide stick under the door to push door jammer backwards.
All our key hole knobs can be unlocked by foreigners. When you come back from an errand or job check for subliminals immediately.
Put a wind chime above the front and back door so you wake up before wandering outdoors.
If you have had a pair of shoes and socks that weren’t yours on your feet, take off and put by your side. State “Divine Jesus walked on water” for better self management. Fold a sheet over and sew the bottom and the side like a sleeping bag zipper so no one attempts to put shoes and socks on with subliminals and tracking tiny metal or put ivory flake looking devices on.
Cell phones go in water. Throw your TV outdoors. Donate our computer to a community center so you can visit without any self in-fliction while at a public place.
WEST COAST BARRIER
Our west coast shore needs to have land mines all along the beaches. Land mines are a peaceful barrier as long as signs are up every 20 feet or so. Would you rather be tan or alive if Chinese arrive?
EIGHTH GRADERS GET CLASS IN MACHINES
Instead of a class in con-sumerism let’s interest eight graders in how simple machines work. The Crapper toilet, Kodak camera, Alex-ander Graham Bell’s tele-phone and Wilbur and Wright’s bikeplane have simple parts in a generation that tinkered in their base-ments to make a better society.Early sewing machine and washing machine in-terests a girl. The first water and mechanical clock, Gut-tenburg press, radio, wind-mill, stove, door bell and record player helps a new generation to fine new inventions. Building your own home and repairing a bicycle are practical skills to learn. Da Vinci and Edison are studied with fascination.
14 REASONS FOR NO DUMB DRUGS
1. I want to be as smart as I possibly can.
2. One third of Spain’s third graders get high everyday and do not get to fourth grade.
3. Marijuana is a neurotoxin. Users are forgetful, with malaise and lazy welfare behavior.
4. Marijuana is high risk for AIDS behavior. “Oops I forgot the birth control!”
5. Abortions occur from the Oops! Father of not yet born baby gets high from mar-ijuana and does not have a fall in love feeling so he screams at mom of not yet born baby to get an abortion.
6. Marijuana is a high cancer risk.
7. Bronchitis, lung cancer and early full blown AIDS occurs from marijuana use.
8. Divorces are more com-mon from a couple that use pot because one or the other has adultery with a marijuana
high.
9. Marijuana users have more car accidents. Where are the mad moms for users?
10. I want to buy only cruelty free products. Marijuana has blood all over it from dealers doing away with South Am-erican farmers up through Mexico. Drug dealers now do away with druggies getting rehab in Mexico.
11. Marijuana users loose a job easier. Users are late, sloppy, uncoordinated and laugh too much on the job.
12. Manchurians were given much opium from Chinese. Chinese genocided millions.
13. I want to ask 100 ques-
tions on a date sober to contribute towards my finest in a marriage.
14. Let’s close bars with dumb drugs in it and open board game rooms, book club cafes and swing dance clubs.
NORWAY 1980
Norway had no bars and no drugs in 1980. Bars were outlawed since the turn of the century. Norwegians earlier made stills that if not exact toxed their drinkers. Drinkers on skis lost their way and got hyperthermia too easily in the snow.
Oslo had clean cut looking blonds whispering across from table to table in their coffee houses. A thriving social life in the early even-ings occurred without much abortions. Norway’s oil made them prosperous with cradle to grave free medicine. Since then they opened bars and drugs flowed in too.
A dater wants to not be lonely anymore. A dater is lonelier after a one night stand.
A celibate is not as lonely. A celibate dates with interest in the conversation. Can this dater like me a lot after 10 dates? Can he prove he loves me by being exclusive after 10 dates? Can he like my job or studies? Can he like my friends? Can he like my mom and dad? Can he like my sense of humor?
Can she like the roses I sent her? Can she like my sport I do? Can she like what I do after work? Can she like my side when I complain? Can she like what I struggled through? Can she like me if
I have a fault? Can she like me better than anybody else?
How am I going to find this out at the bar? I’m not, not there. A nicer man looks for a nicer place to find a nicer woman.
Did you both confess you went to beach week five years ago and disliked it ever after? I matured this much. Have you matured too? Are you looking to get married?
That’s just the beginning of a mature style of dating. What is this person like in front of my friends? Is she a gracious person? Is she a lout and permiscuous person who goes to the bars a lot? If you don’t want a lout and adul-terer for a wife or husband you don’t want a bar with drugs anymore. Let’s close them down for a while until the drugs are out thoroughly.
WHAT IS A RELIGION FOR?
Religion is for organizing kindness and educating young and old to be kinder. Humans come to church on Sunday to be less lonely, to sing sweet songs, to talk of sorrows as a group, to witness a happy wedding promise to live together for their lifetime to share and protect their children and for their children to learn good from bad so they go to heaven after life. To shame and be shamed helps push a person towards doing nicer effects. Healings are in a church even if you just walk in for a while and sit before a Jesus statute. Where a picture of Jesus is so is Jesus. Ask for a miracle. It can happen.

Humans come to church on Sunday to be less lonely, to sing sweet songs, to talk of sorrows as a group, to witness a happy wedding promise to live together for their lifetime to share and protect their children and for their children to learn good from bad so they go to heaven after life. To shame and be shamed helps push a person towards doing nicer effects. Healings are in a church even if you just walk in for a while and sit before a Jesus statute. Where a picture of Jesus is so is Jesus. Ask for a miracle. It can happen.

Real Men Gobble Meat
"'We are 40 days from fundamentally changing America,'(Glen) Beck said. '. . . What the Tea Party movement wants is an end to out-of-control spending, an end to the insanity, an end to the growth in government that is gobbling everything up.'
He also ridiculed first lady Michelle Obama's campaign to get people to eat healthier snacks like apples or carrots.
'Get away from my french fries, Mrs. Obama,' Beck warned. 'First politician that comes up to me with a carrot stick, I've got a place for it. And it's not in my tummy.'
"'The role of the federal government is not to pick out doctors -- it's to defeat radical jihadists,' U.S. Rep. Pete Hoekstra of Michigan said. 'The role of the federal government is not to educate our children. It's to rush to the border and seal our borders.'"
http://blogs.suntimes.com/sweet/2010/09/glenn_beck_mocks_michelle_obam.html
For anyone confused about how a first lady's suggestions to eat healthy could possibly be controversial, the second quote from Rep. Hoekstra should be helpful. Real Men are neither threatened or concerned by anything except enemies, and the beating off of enemies real and imagined is essentially the only important thing that a person or a nation can ever do.
To suffer at the hands of an enemy is so disgraceful that the True Man commits his entire conciousness to preventing it. To suffer at the hands of so-called natural causes, on the other hand, is no more than the will of a God who is manliness incarnate. It is indisputable that the death of one tribe member at the hands of an outsider is far worse than the death of a hundred from heart attacks.
To believe otherwise is to accept that the threat from others is only a very small part of a greater battle against death that we are all doomed to lose; and all right-wing narratives are based on maintaining the illusion of omnipotence. This then is why Glen Beck would rather shove a hard glistening stick up someone's ass than be so queer as to worry about healthy eating.

Remembering Yard Cop
In the Journal-Star today some woman wrote to the editor castigating random Lincolnites for not flying American flags on Sept. 11th. For some reason it made me think of the man I was doing a moving job with back when I was twenty one, he was somewhere in his late forties. While we were riding in his truck from old house to new house he spent the entire trip extolling what he obviously considered to be very important paternal knowledge. He gave pointers on moving this or that piece of furniture. Mostly he spoke of lawns. He spoke of how often to mow, how long to wait for rain before watering, fertilizer, what kind to buy, how much to apply, how often.
He pointed at yellow grass in some neighbors lawn and said "You see that? Put some fertilizer in your grass God Damnit! You fucking scurgy cocksucker!"
And that's all there is to the story really.
"You'll have a house of your own someday right? You see why grass needs fertilizer? You saw that shit right?"

Thoughts on Eternal Culture War
Even as we make progress on specific issues, however, the broader culture war seems to get uglier and uglier. The underlying sentiment that has fueled this conflict from the start --that only certain Americans are "real Americans" who deserve rights and respect -- has not gone away.-Ann Friedman
http://prospect.org/cs/articles?article=the_forever_culture_war
"The main thing I want to say on this is that every time anyone ever predicted that the end of the culture war was just around the corner, I rolled my eyes. I get that people are sick and tired of it, and that’s why they invest in ideas like, “Electing Barack Obama will bring an end to the culture wars”, which is what Ann quotes Andrew Sullivan basically saying. But too bad. Politics isn’t your entertainment. The culture wars aren’t some movie that you’ve seen so many times that it’s lost its entertainment value, and so you can just change the channel. The culture wars are going to drag out for a long ass time for a number of reasons"- Amanda Marcotte

I'm afraid that this is all so. One of the most depressing things about human bigotry is its intractability. There will always be a number of people in every society who are unable to accept any legitimate source of self-esteem except superiority to others. They cannot be 'cured' of pernicious beliefs because they are convinced that hating others is the only possible alternative to hating themselves. Gripes against 'special minority rights', 'political correctness' and 'blaming America first' are usually based on precisely this attitude.
The best we can do is to try to keep the die-hard bigots from handling the reins of power. But this is very difficult since those who believe that they are nothing without power over others will obviously be more strongly motivated to gain it than those of us who do not. And they also have a big tactical advantage; because to believe that power and virtue are the same thing is necessarily to believe that cheating does not exist.
Their biggest advantage though is actually the modernity they reject. Because one of the central tenets of modernity is that societies should accept their own artificiality. It is deeply unsettling for most people to realize that we could have been anyone anywhere at any time*, and so we take great comfort in believing our social identities to be tangible and true. To accept social identity as imaginary is difficult in the best of times, and becomes nearly impossible when society faces some sort of existential stress such as outside attack or economic collapse.
(* Or no one at all, if mom and dad had only bought Ginger Ale instead of Shiraz for New Years 76.)
Yet at the same time the falsity of identity can be discerned easily enough by any average person blessed with the leisure time of modern life. So in times of stress we come to hate the modernity that gives our minds time to wonder into such painful territory. And it is in these times that the general population embraces the gospel of the bigots and raises them to the power they obsess over. When the illusion of tangible social identity is lost it can be restored only by having tangible enemies to pound it against, and once enemies begin to provide this sort of emotional security there must be a never-ending supply of them.
When the USA or some other self-declared egalitarian society suffers the sort of tribalistic spasm we are going through now it obviously appears rancidly hypocritical or at least confounding. But when fascism is understood as civilizations' willful suicide it becomes much easier to understand in general.
Things were so much easier in the days when we lived short sickly lives waiting to be cut down in the next battle with the folk across the river.

Athiest Lesbian Cookies are Delicious: Or, Crypto-Gay is Stranger than Fiction
Hans Zeiger, running for the Washington state legislature, had a bone to pick with the Girl Scouts back in 02.
One might wonder why the Girl Scouts have been spared the painful attacks that have been launched upon the Boy Scouts by the Left in recent years. The reasons are simple: the Girl Scouts allow homosexuals and atheists to join their ranks, and they have become a pro-abortion, feminist training corps. … If the Girl Scouts of America can’t get back to teaching real character, perhaps it will be time to look for our cookies elsewhere.”
This is all nothing but the truth. The Girl Scouts of America are in fact insanely radical enough to treat homosexuals and atheists as human beings, and they even go so far as to teach young women to have positive self-images based upon their actual selves rather then what men think of them. Such an attitude of course is absolute proof of not only supporting abortion but of being sexually aroused by mangled feti. And while true Christian patriots may find it hard to resist those mouth-watering tagalogs it is certainly better to have the wife bake her own cookies rather than lend monetary support to the den of terrorist lesbian fetus rape that the GSA has become. Thank god the Boy Scouts have managed to stand up to the Homosexual menace.
Incidentally....
This is Olave St. Clair Baden-Powell, the woman that Boy Scout founder Robert Baden-Powell married in 1912 at the age of fifty five. He preferred her to keep her hair short and wear proto power-suits of the sort pictured here. He also reportedly convinced her to strap her breasts down so she didn't walk around looking all girly. During the years when their three children were produced Mr. Baden-Powell would often complain of terrible headaches and general malaise. After their last daughter was born he moved to a bedroom of his own and immediately came to feel much better.
"With every hint of sex removed from a relationship he could get on reasonably well with women."
Throughout his life he loved his mother very much. He insisted that all real men love their mothers as themselves, and of course how could anyone do otherwise? Still he founded the Scouts partly because he knew that young boys needed to spend some time alone with each other, away from feminizing influences; so that they could get dirty and sweaty together and so learn that the manly bonds are the ones that really matter in life. Baden-Powell had such a bond himself; a lifelong friendship with a man named McClaren who he called his 'boy'.
A clean young man in his prime of health and strength is the finest creature God had made in the world,"
"Another incident in the book, pages 92-94, Baden-Powell writes to his friend A.H. Tod about an album of naked boys kept by Tod: And possibly I might get a further look at those wonderful photographs of yours!" The album in question remained at Charterhouse until it was destroyed in the 1960s."
He was a admirer of both Hitler and Mussolini before circumstances pitted his country against theirs and he dutifully followed his own flag. Though this was rather predictable I suppose, considering that Scouting shares with fascism the idea that the military aesthetic is not just a strange necessity for extraordinary circumstances but profoundly good in itself. And of course scouting was largely inspired by Baden-Powells desire to build the real men needed to maintain his own country's empire. But I suppose that's neither here nor there.
To return to the central point here's a poster called "Are You in This?" that Baden-Powell made during World War I; featuring a sailor fondling a large canon while a Boy who appears to have ripped the rear end of his pants hands a load of shot to a soldier handling his gun at waist level.
Yes, we may indeed thank God that America's modern Boy Scouts continue to march through the wilderness; with no one but each other to depend on, together in matching pressed uniforms under the guidance of a wise and experienced older man, without the degrading influence of homosexuality. May the flame of the founder's original vision always burn true.

I Think I'm going to Stay Alone
I despise relationships; except no, they're fine for what they are, on the physical level, but I do abhor intimacy. I have nothing but the deepest contempt for casual entitlement to intimacy, be it from my family or from former girlfriends. To say that I value my privacy over all else would be understating it. The truth is that I value only my privacy. From the family I was born into I get nothing but filth, obligation, vulgarity, and noise; what more could I ever hope for from my own family? Eternal damnation; going to my grave without ever having the slightest hope of ever escaping human notice again. No.
If I feel any passion, it is to seek revenge against everyone who has ever attempted to pry into my interior, it is to defy everyone who blindly assumes that love is universally preferable to singlehood, that relationships are by definition of central importance to my and everyone else's life, to spit in the face of every man who cracked a stupid and vulgar joke to me on the unthinking assurance that sharing a common sexuality was the slightest bit meaningful in any way.
There is no God and no natural order commanding me to abide such tyranny. And I won't.

I Had This Neighbor Once
We were watching the exorcist once. She said she had heard that the fleeting shots of Captain Howdy weren't meant to be there. Apparently Black lord Satan himself had corporeally manifested himself onto the film for the purpose of gritting his teeth and waving his arms around a bit.
She was average looking but the freckles all over her torso were cute.
Daley Jr. Retiring
He was an enlightened despot, at least, striving to improve his realm instead of seeing power as the ultimate end and letting the mountain he had authority over rot away while he and his cronies partied at the top. He brought Chicago into the 21st century with aplomb while other Great Lakes cities wither bitterly in the 1950's, good for him.
Though he was of course thoroughly convinced that he was the only person on Earth who could make Chicago better, that its citizens were his utterly dependent children and that he therefore had the moral right to do whatever he needed to to retain power, lest his children get lost in the wilderness. But this is a perfectly typical conceit among politicians. Chicago really is cleaner than it's ever been, for what little that's worth. And it's current position as an alpha world city wouldn't have been possible if Little Richard hadn't occasionally acknowledged the humanity of non-White Chicagoans, a major policy departure from his father.
Another major deviation from Dad is choosing to actually retire instead of dropping dead in office, which shows that he's at least sane enough to imagine existence without power, an increasingly rare thing among our modern political class.

My Parents Have a Cat
It is the son of my former cat Telly, very big for a housecat, about twenty pounds. Not fat just naturally big. Bulls-eye is his name. He likes to hunt rabbits out by the railroad tracks. Often he will bring them into the family home still half alive, several he abandoned in the kitchen. One he bit the head off of and disemboweled on the living room carpet. One he left mortally wounded in the kitchen for whatever reason. Bulls-eye went to lounge on the couch all purrfull and pet-like while the rabbit made a futilely struggled to a hiding place under the kitchen sink, bled to death there, and went undiscovered until my parents noticed the smell and the flies several days later. There are blood stains on the carpet in any odd number of places.
He's deathly afraid of thunderstorms and likes to be scratched behind the ears.

Last Night
I dreamed that President Kennedy was making a goodwill tour somewhere in the Arctic north. It may have been Greenland but I think it was Canada. It was summer and he was dressed in a white t-shirt and matching jeans. He was carrying a golf club and jockishly knocking balls out of the natural amphitheater where people had gathered to see him. Everything was brown, nothing alive anywhere save for the human crowd.
It wasn't the actual person of John Kennedy, this I realized straight away, more like the spirit of badass or something along those lines.

Future of America Hinges on Chemical Makeup of Projectiles
I mentioned in a post a few months ago that it seems to me that many in the gun and hunting communities actually seem to enjoy imagining themselves to be much more opposed than they actually are because they would rather be hated than accept the fact that they are generally ignored. The recent flap over the petition to the EPA to ban lead in bullets and fishing tackle would seem to be the ultimate proof of that.
The proposal was brought by several wildlife and environmental groups concerned by various studies showing that natural predators and scavengers were getting lead poisoning from eating creatures who had either survived human attack or been left with a bit of meat on their bones after being butchered. There are of course several other metals besides lead that bullets can be made out of. Ammo companies may or may not have been forced to raise the price of an individual bullet or shell by a penny or two. The proposed regulation would have added no noticeable burden to the lives of anyone, but would have only made the lives of various birds and coyotes a little healthier.
There are of course other perspectives, like this one from a Pennsylvania blog called 'Snowflakes in Hell'.
This is not about lead in the environment; it is about abolishing guns via removing the ability to shoot them. Either way, the results are identical. The gun-grabbers have more ploys than stars in the sky. When one fails to become law, they have are ready to propose another one to take its place. Four Supreme Court Justices recently voted against laws that would enable citizens to protect themselves against criminals who would invade homes, rape, rob and murder law-abiding residents, and to effectively scrap the 2nd Amendment. The only way to stop the hijacking of the country is to vote out those in Congress who pass laws such as those that restricting our rights to self-defense in the first place. It is a constant battle, and without the financial and legal support of the “evil” NRA, people would have to quickly learn how to barricade themselves in their homes. I can’t wait until November rolls around.
It's all very clear. Forcing ammo manufacturers to produce their wares with something other than lead would obviously make it impossible for people to own or fire guns because, well you see, bullets would be made out of copper or something now and, well all of those hundred-shell boxes I bought for two bucks a piece back in 89 would all be worthless now and... and.... because I said so hippie.
The petition was shot down over the weekend thanks to this sort of opposition. One could chalk it up as just another case of liberals knuckling under to the screams of bloody-minded idiots; but I for one am incapable of pretending to have one tenth of the passion on the matter that the professional hero/victims of the hunting community do, and I suspect this is a sentiment shared by many others on the left. It would have been better for the birds and such if the rule had gone into effect but mostly it seems very mundane.
Opponents of the idea 'won' this round because of the belief in their number that there is no such thing as mundanity. The True Man knows that absolutely every decision is a choice between good and evil, that any choice not presented as a way to fight for this or that sacred principle is illegitimate, and that finally any commitment to a good principle is hardly worth making unless this principle is under constant peril and in need of manly defending. Much of the pseudopopulist blather against bureaucracy in the right is based on precisely this attitude. People who have this attitude fascinate me. They are doomed to lifelong frustration in almost any human environment they find themselves in, because the sort of mundane and pragmatic decisions made by the EPA and other bureaucratic agencies are essential in any remotely organized society. The only life that such folk would ever truly be happy in is that of fourth world warlord; indulging in the glory of eternal life-and-death struggle while still enjoying the perks of modern technology back home at the fortified mansion.
The 'Snowflakes in Hell' commenter quoted above is yet another right-winger who believes his enemies to be too strong and too weak at the same time. He is both on the brink of losing everything he holds dear and on the verge of a smashing and absolute triumph at the ballot box. The reason he is able to believe such obvious nonsense is simply because he wants to. Who among us wouldn't love to feel like an invincible underdog, to have our egos fed with both power and pity at the same time? The fact that reason tells us that an invincible underdog is impossible means only that we would feel better by dumping reason and embracing struggle, will, and entitlement in its place.
Entitlement is also a big part of what is going on here. The pushiest voices in the guns-and hunting rights crowd are not satisfied with merely being allowed to shoot and hunt, but demand that society and all of its institutions acknowledge their superior virility, assume out of hand that their personal hobbies are perfectly good in every way. Any suggestion that there could be any negative effects even tangentially related to hunting is unacceptable. There is also the fact that wildlife groups, environmental groups, and the EPA all operate under the basic assumption that non-human creatures exist for reasons beyond being dominated by men, and for many people this assumption is intolerable madness.
Beyond all else though is a sense of proper masculinity so cartoonishly extreme as to make this crowd mentally ill. They convince themselves that their personal arsenals are the only thing preventing a Lovecraftian orgy of blood, rape, and free health care because they can conceive of no positive self image except that of Heroic Warrior. The problem here is that any society having any hope for stability, including our own, is built on the idea that heroic warriors should be made as unnecessary as possible; so that any place enjoying any degree of tranquility will always be too liberal for such people. Adhering to a Heroic warrior self image doesn't enhance virility but rather leads to the same sort of frustration and bitterness felt by an elderly parish priest.
And so the adherents of this ideal are in the end damned to stupidity; willing to swallow any bucket of goat spunk that allows them to believe that they are moments away from winning a fight that will never end.

The only way to stop the hijacking of the country is to vote out those in Congress who pass laws such as those that restricting our rights to self-defense in the first place. It is a constant battle, and without the financial and legal support of the “evil” NRA, people would have to quickly learn how to barricade themselves in their homes. I can’t wait until November rolls around.
It's all very clear. Forcing ammo manufacturers to produce their wares with something other than lead would obviously make it impossible for people to own or fire guns because, well you see, bullets would be made out of copper or something now and, well all of those hundred-shell boxes I bought for two bucks a piece back in 89 would all be worthless now and... and.... because I said so hippie.
The petition was shot down over the weekend thanks to this sort of opposition. One could chalk it up as just another case of liberals knuckling under to the screams of bloody-minded idiots; but I for one am incapable of pretending to have one tenth of the passion on the matter that the professional hero/victims of the hunting community do, and I suspect this is a sentiment shared by many others on the left. It would have been better for the birds and such if the rule had gone into effect but mostly it seems very mundane.
Opponents of the idea 'won' this round because of the belief in their number that there is no such thing as mundanity. The True Man knows that absolutely every decision is a choice between good and evil, that any choice not presented as a way to fight for this or that sacred principle is illegitimate, and that finally any commitment to a good principle is hardly worth making unless this principle is under constant peril and in need of manly defending. Much of the pseudopopulist blather against bureaucracy in the right is based on precisely this attitude. People who have this attitude fascinate me. They are doomed to lifelong frustration in almost any human environment they find themselves in, because the sort of mundane and pragmatic decisions made by the EPA and other bureaucratic agencies are essential in any remotely organized society. The only life that such folk would ever truly be happy in is that of fourth world warlord; indulging in the glory of eternal life-and-death struggle while still enjoying the perks of modern technology back home at the fortified mansion.
The 'Snowflakes in Hell' commenter quoted above is yet another right-winger who believes his enemies to be too strong and too weak at the same time. He is both on the brink of losing everything he holds dear and on the verge of a smashing and absolute triumph at the ballot box. The reason he is able to believe such obvious nonsense is simply because he wants to. Who among us wouldn't love to feel like an invincible underdog, to have our egos fed with both power and pity at the same time? The fact that reason tells us that an invincible underdog is impossible means only that we would feel better by dumping reason and embracing struggle, will, and entitlement in its place.
Entitlement is also a big part of what is going on here. The pushiest voices in the guns-and hunting rights crowd are not satisfied with merely being allowed to shoot and hunt, but demand that society and all of its institutions acknowledge their superior virility, assume out of hand that their personal hobbies are perfectly good in every way. Any suggestion that there could be any negative effects even tangentially related to hunting is unacceptable. There is also the fact that wildlife groups, environmental groups, and the EPA all operate under the basic assumption that non-human creatures exist for reasons beyond being dominated by men, and for many people this assumption is intolerable madness.
Beyond all else though is a sense of proper masculinity so cartoonishly extreme as to make this crowd mentally ill. They convince themselves that their personal arsenals are the only thing preventing a Lovecraftian orgy of blood, rape, and free health care because they can conceive of no positive self image except that of Heroic Warrior. The problem here is that any society having any hope for stability, including our own, is built on the idea that heroic warriors should be made as unnecessary as possible; so that any place enjoying any degree of tranquility will always be too liberal for such people. Adhering to a Heroic warrior self image doesn't enhance virility but rather leads to the same sort of frustration and bitterness felt by an elderly parish priest.
And so the adherents of this ideal are in the end damned to stupidity; willing to swallow any bucket of goat spunk that allows them to believe that they are moments away from winning a fight that will never end.

Thoughts on the Champions League Draw
All of these teams have played each other at some point in the past five years, and a solid dozen of the last sixteen can be easily predicted. The 'World's Biggest Club Tournament", is too fucking big and too fucking long. There is no novelty, and no spontaneity, just a giant bureaucratic orgasm designed to shovel money to the elite clubs and keep them entrenched at the top forever.
I know that the ship has long sailed, but I say reduce the entire field to fifty six teams; the fifty two national champions, the previous year's finalists, and then the runners-up from the top two, three, or four leagues as needed to pad the field out. Sixteen teams, (likely the champions and runners-up from the top twelve leagues) get a bye to the second round, the champions of countries 13-36 start in the first round, and the winners of the sixteen smallest leagues play an extra preliminary round to start things off. Seed the clubs in five pots of eight teams each for the preliminary and first rounds, and than four pots of eight teams each for the second round. After the second round place the remaining sixteen teams into four groups of four (seeded 1-4 again) with only the group winners advancing to the semifinals. Knockout from there of course, (with the final over two-legs instead of the somewhat arbitrary single game on neutral ground) and since there can be no more than two teams from even the biggest countries playing each other they could be kept apart unless both make the final.
The number of games that a big-league team would have to play to win the Champions League would be twelve instead of the current thirteen. The biggest beneficiaries would be teams from middle to low-middle leagues like Poland or Sweden who would now have to play only one extra round instead of three. And hell, even with modern economics making the gap between big and small bigger than ever, I'm sure that the likes of Partizan or Zilina could beat a Real or an Inter over two legs once every six years or so, and it would be fucking wild when they do. And if the barrristas in Wicker Park wearing Barca or Man U jerseys don't like it then good, fuck em.
One could go on and on about the benefits, the return of the Cup Winners Cup, the return of teams you've heard of to the Europa whatthefuckever, an actual summer break to the club football season, but again I do realize that it's all a hopeless dream. So for now I turn my sporting attention to American games and wait for the possibility of something interesting happening in Europe to rise with the spring.

The Latest on Cracked.com
"7 Famous Works of Art With Bizarre Mistakes You Can't Unsee"
And starting right away with number 7.
By the Cracked.com method of dating, the large Romanesque cross of Sand Damiano was made about four centuries before the events of Assassin's Creed 2. It is famous for being the cross that Saint Francis of Assisi prayed to before receiving his miraculous vision to reform the Roman Catholic Church.
Also, for inadvertently featuring a giant dong on the holiest figure in the Western world.
Ahem. Certainly amusing yes, but not at all inadvertent. What part of "ALL GOD and ALL MAN" does the author fail to understand anyway?
Also bear in mind that it is blasphemous to all mainstream branches of Christianity to suggest that Christ ever "defiled" himself, and so the 'dick-pack abs' motif developed as a way of showing what thirty+ years of untapped demigod lust would look like. Naturally you'd end up with a savior capable of literally defiling himself.
Do Depeche Mode or Type O Negative think that they discovered the similarities between desire for Christian salvation and desire for a man's body? I very highly doubt it. These were/are pretty cultured guys, and it's really very obvious.

Predator: Crypto-Leftist Propaganda
_-_The_Predator.jpg)
"What’s the point of Predator’s stupid code of honor and only attacking the armed, when he is completely impervious to most of our weapons? It’s like taking pride in only beating women with acrylic nails or something"-Ruthless Reviews
Exactly as much point as there is in endowing Native Americans with superhuman strength and bravery a hundred years after slaughtering them in masse; none at all of course, except to serve the conquerers ego. It seems that Predators want to have it both ways just as humans do. Travel great distances to exploit a race who hasn't the slightest hope of fighting back against your weaponry and then convince yourself that it was a perfectly fair fight against savage superwarriors.
"War of the Worlds" was an anti-colonial fable you know. The Martians have superior technology after all, doesn't that prove that they're better than us and entitled to have the run of the place? And I think that 'Predator' is very much "WOTW"s spiritual sequal in a sea of inferior remakes. Notice how closely the American strike force's laughibly easy battle against Latin guerrillas mirrors their own helpless slaughter at the hands of the Predator. And then there's the Predator himself; what's up with those dreadlocks? Clearly the films eponymous villan was intended to be "The Other" made flesh. A shrieking jungle demon, a darkly humorous display of what any of the White Man's victims would actually be like if they were half as badass as we said they were after the fact.
I've always found Billy Sole's "Indian trackeer" role to be wincingly cliche, especially given the fact that he has an intrinsic understanding of 'the land' despite being Navajo in the film and so from a perfectly different landscape. His 'spiritual understanding' of his impending death before the Predator is also groaningly stupid, though now that I think about it perhaps not as much as before. Perhaps 'Chiefs' better grasp of the hopless situation has less to do with any contrived Native mysticism and more to do with cultural memory, old stories of what it was like to stand completely helpless before a ruthless alien force.
Another thing that seems not as silly as before is Schwarzeneggers' 'gone native' turn at the films climax. But of course Arnold can hardly be accused of going native when from a relative standpoint he already is one. His victory then can be more properly understood as the act of going guerrilla, or precisely the method by which various Western empires and their client states have been lade low in the past sixty five years. The Predator's petulant self-destruction and refusal to show this Native the slightest regard even after being defeated by him is very similar to American reactions towards setbacks in Vietnem, Afghanistan, Iraq, or any number of other third-world debacles; a sense that simply refusing to aknowledge our failures is enough to erase these failures from existense.
And so after Vietnam came a glut of 80's action movies in which White American supermen triumphed in one foreign jungle after another again and again. On the surface it would seem that 'Predator' is nothing more than another tired brick in this wall of cinematic denialism. But I am convinced now that the movie is actually a subversive masterpiece, camoflauged into the cultural landscape as perfectly as its namesake villan blends into the jungle.

Hairspray Woman: She Calls Herself the "Chrisma Woman" and she's been Stuck on this "Cell Phone Subliminal" Thing Lately
PHYSICIANS WERE SELF INFLICTED BY CHINESE
In a block long building on 18th and O street was a medical building. Within weeks all the physicians were self inflicted and passed away. A Chinese woman moved in to practice medicine. The newspapers publicized everything except how the physicians passed away.
The physicians in their homes heard a voice from their cell phone and computers to do away with themselves and they did.
Throw out your cell phone, TV and computer. The electrical machines are made in China and have sub-liminals in them. Put jelly on one ear for the other kind of awful voices.
AMERICANS ASK
How did you figure out cell phones, TVs and computers have subliminals?
Americans were making grave mistakes. A Nobel prize American economist was saying our economy was getting worse and gave no answers when his book had many.
A phrase “a throw away neighborhood” was said by a civic leader when only the Chinese say that statement.
A forgery document sug-gesting it was the consti-tution extolled to “self in-flict” Americans and is still on a website under “U.S. Constitution” with the wrong date.
A Moslem foreigner headed
the Federal Communications Commission to try to have all health records electronic and centralized to go to Wash-ington DC. Nobody needs health records to go a thou-sand miles away. He was putting in “Yes” next to the word advance directives so Americans could be exter-minated.
What else did the Moslem foreigner do wrong? Federal Communications Commis-sion was not checking our imports to see if we had subliminals.
Take the battery out of your cell phone and listen for a tiny wrerr wrerr sound. All cell phones that we have found have subliminals. Throw them away.
IMPROVE SCHOOLS LOW COST
Get the welfare mom to work as a tutor in grade schools. She will be proud of herself in her interest in improving children’s minds.
It is not an expensive program. She receives her check like any other but it is a welfare check. The kids can appreciate the attention with a smile and better grades.
HOMELESS SHELTERS
Volunteers working in a homeless shelter should be the homeless themselves and not outsiders. Even if a homeless person receives a dollar a day for wiping the table they are industrious and thinking more about the work they will do.
Homeless need lockers so
their items don’t get stolen.
Christ centered shelters help with an array of classes and bible studies. A van that goes to a clinic, dentist and optician can lift the homeless to better mental and physical health so they leave sooner with work.
State art councils can let artists give workshops where the participants after the class take with them tools to make sellable crafts.
Homeless can have direc-tions to a employment agency even on the sidewalk if nearby.
Homeless in the day can go to farmers market that agrees to have vendors also. Free licenses for vending can improve chances of employ-ment March to October.
A man with a sign “willing to work” gets picked up immediately. A college edu-cated women goes to clean house for a week before she gets a higher esteeming job the next week. A man flips pan cakes for passer bys.
Brownies and lemon aide are a tasty treat for visitors next to the fruit stand. One man invites another to pick an-tiques out of a landfill site.
A math whiz with two years of college puts up a sign as a tutor. An older man in a wheel chair does tax forms on the spot. Puppets give a show for kids each day.
The city supplies plug ins for food vendors and American computers. Low fallutin entrepreneurs do all the rest.
Homeless shelters are not listed in the phone books. Let’s get signs up right away!

Whoever Wrote the Wikipedia Synopsis for "Gin and Juice" , Thank You you Beautiful Soul
"The song begins with a sound effect of a human urinating[3], followed by an interlude in which an unknown male is speaking, denouncing one of his associates for either committing mater-sodomy in the immediate vicinity or for having bad breath, it remains unclear which. The unknown male requests some bubblegum, presumably to remedy the situation.
We are then introduced to the narrator, Snoop Dogg, as he discusses the exigencies of his life; his hometown of Long Beach, California, is very dramatic. He finds the will to create his unique musical style amidst all this drama, and does so daily. He then entreats the listener (affectionately called a “g”) to enjoy his tale in said musical style.
Mr. Dogg's tale starts at 2 am in his home, where a party has been taking place and is continuing late into the night, because his mother is away. Women are copulating in his living room, presumably in a lesbian fashion, and intend to do so until 6 am, when they will leave. Mr. Dogg and his associates decide to join the sapphic women. Ever-prepared, they pull condoms out of their pockets before turning off the lights and shutting the doors behind them.
After making it clear that his regard for the females does not involve love, Snoop Dogg and his associates decide that the use of one ounce of marijuana would be a fitting tribute to the act and his regard of the situation and the women. Rather than go into details of what is taking place behind closed doors, he tells the listeners (affectionately called “motherfuckas”) to reminisce of revelry in general, preferably while bouncing.
The said revelry consists of the chorus line and the subject of the song title: cruising down the street, smoking marijuana, and sipping on gin and an unnamed juice. The unnamed juice is likely of citrus origin, though the properties of gin are agreeable to all fruit juices. It is possible that the previous scene, and the upcoming scenes, are projected memories of the narrators told in the present tense. Mr. Dogg then attempts a chiasmus about his constant preoccupation with pecuniary matters.
In another memory, Snoop Dogg has procured a bottle of Seagrams brand gin, and is intent on consuming it himself, but his associates have worked up a thirst as well. They present their empty cups for Mr. Dogg to fill, but have not offered any payment for the alcohol. Mr. Dogg is angry at the prospect of sharing his alcoholic beverage without consideration, as these requests happen all too often. He acknowledges their requests, but reminds them that his needs come first.
Mr. Dogg quickly diffuses the situation by reminding the listener that he is very good at cultivating music that captivates his listeners. He wants to know, “Who listens to the words that I speak?” This is most likely a rhetorical question. We do not learn if he ever does share the Seagrams.
Mr. Dogg leaves the party with his beverage to the middle of the street, presumably because his house party has grown beyond the bounds of his yard. He meets a young lady named Sadie who had previously dated one of his associates. He flirts with the young lady, but does not expect physical contact because the weather has remained a sultry 80 degrees Fahrenheit. As she initiates physical contact with his testicles, the heat becomes too much. Snoop tells Sadie to get off of his scrotum and informs her she will not get further contact with that part of him. He says “at ease”, likely to calm down Sadie, but also in an attempt to relax all involved. Mr. Dogg then runs off to engage in an act of mobbing with his associates (affectionately called the “Dogg Pound”) in order to cool off and feel a breeze. He urges all to do the same.
We return to the chorus narration, where Snoop Dogg continues to consume marijuana and gin and juice while cruising in a vehicle. He is still concerned about his financial situation, stated in an identical chiastic manner.
The narrator then recalls a memory that happened later in the same day[4], presumably at the house party. His friend, Dr. Dre[5], pays Mr. Dogg a visit, presenting him with several bottles of Tanqueray brand gin and a very well-endowed joint of marijuana. The marijuana is of a strength colloquially described as lethal, as he cleverly alludes to through a reference to the bubonic plague[6]. The combination of drugs proves too intoxicating for Mr. Dogg, and he is forced to imbibe less vivaciously, but he refuses to stop altogether. Dr. Dre then introduces Mr. Dogg to some women who he has brought from a neighboring city in Los Angeles. Snoop Dogg makes his intents to bed (or cot) the women clear, but warns them beforehand that he does not intend to make them climax nor stay with them after copulation has occurred, because he does not love them. Women whom he does not love he refers to as “hoes”, the origin of which is unclear, but is in no way related to the garden tool.
The song ends with a repetition of the chorus one more time, where some spontaneous words are uttered after the title verse (a slang word phonetically spelled BEE-OTCH). Mr Dogg's mental preoccupation with money matters is restated multiple times."
We are then introduced to the narrator, Snoop Dogg, as he discusses the exigencies of his life; his hometown of Long Beach, California, is very dramatic. He finds the will to create his unique musical style amidst all this drama, and does so daily. He then entreats the listener (affectionately called a “g”) to enjoy his tale in said musical style.

As she initiates physical contact with his testicles, the heat becomes too much. Snoop tells Sadie to get off of his scrotum and informs her she will not get further contact with that part of him. He says “at ease”, likely to calm down Sadie, but also in an attempt to relax all involved. Mr. Dogg then runs off to engage in an act of mobbing with his associates (affectionately called the “Dogg Pound”) in order to cool off and feel a breeze. He urges all to do the same.
We return to the chorus narration, where Snoop Dogg continues to consume marijuana and gin and juice while cruising in a vehicle. He is still concerned about his financial situation, stated in an identical chiastic manner.
The narrator then recalls a memory that happened later in the same day[4], presumably at the house party. His friend, Dr. Dre[5], pays Mr. Dogg a visit, presenting him with several bottles of Tanqueray brand gin and a very well-endowed joint of marijuana. The marijuana is of a strength colloquially described as lethal, as he cleverly alludes to through a reference to the bubonic plague[6]. The combination of drugs proves too intoxicating for Mr. Dogg, and he is forced to imbibe less vivaciously, but he refuses to stop altogether. Dr. Dre then introduces Mr. Dogg to some women who he has brought from a neighboring city in Los Angeles. Snoop Dogg makes his intents to bed (or cot) the women clear, but warns them beforehand that he does not intend to make them climax nor stay with them after copulation has occurred, because he does not love them. Women whom he does not love he refers to as “hoes”, the origin of which is unclear, but is in no way related to the garden tool.
The song ends with a repetition of the chorus one more time, where some spontaneous words are uttered after the title verse (a slang word phonetically spelled BEE-OTCH). Mr Dogg's mental preoccupation with money matters is restated multiple times."
All Hail Justice A6381H2
Tim Wildman of the American Family Association recently wrote a piece for the LA Times op-ed page regarding the overturning of prop 8. Among the list of perfectly solid pseudo-populist claims is the following passage..
This judge believes that defining a person by sexual behavior is the same as defining a person by skin color. And given the fact that he is widely reported to be homosexual, it is obvious he believed this before the case was even brought to his courtroom. Walker should have recused himself, but he had a legal and political statement he wanted to make.
It certainly is shocking that a judge of the law would be so arrogant as to make a legal statement, but unfortunately this is a problem that goes far beyond this particular case. Of more immediate concern is the fact that Judge Walker is 'widely reported to be homosexual.' Dear God, but this isn't even the tip of the iceberg! The horrible truth is that throughout history there have been thousands of rulings regarding sex and marriage laws made by thousands of different judges, and every single one of these judges have been biased by the fact that they themselves had sexuality. Surely any fair-minded person would be outraged by this fact.
And I'm afraid that this problem requires nothing less than the most radical solution possible. If we are not willing to eliminate all sex laws completely than we must accept that they continue to be enforced only through institutions existing beyond the nation-state, and indeed beyond the human race.
I therefore call upon the International Court of Justice at the Hague to formally invite this fellow, The Honorable A6381H2, self-replicating Amoeba, to preside as sole arbiter for all legal questions regarding sex, marriage, and family law for the entire human species.
I can assure you that Mr./Ms. A6381H2 is most eminently qualified for the position, having gained super intelligence from an industrial accident on Lake Baikal and from there earning doctorates in both international law and world religion at the University of Moscow. In addition Mr./Ms. A6381H2 is fluent in twenty of the most commonly spoken human languages and is an excellent tennis player.
It is true that such an action would effectively make Mr./Ms. A6381H2, (or any other hyperintelligent single-celled asexual being) the most powerful living entity to ever exist. I can see how this would be a cause of concern to many, especially those who are already suspicious of multi-national institutions. But when you consider that the podunk county judge signing your marriage certificate may have very well had sex last night, or at the very least was up late writing slash fiction involving Betty Rizzo and Elizabeth Bennet, we simply have no other choice.

Tales From North Platte
Saturday was my last day back home for my grandmother's funeral. That night I had arranged to meet two cousins of mine at a downtown bar called 'The Den' for a rolling clam bake through town. I arrived at the bar about ten minutes before they did and passed the time with a bottle of beer.
At the other end of the bar was a woman in her early twenties, 5-8, black haired, brown skinned, thin yet still perfectly soft and shapely, gorgeous. Misty was her name, she said hello and we struck up a pleasant conversation. When my cousins arrived I told her I would love to see her later that night and she said o.k. maybe. We exchanged numbers and I made my way out the door.
I told my cousins about her and they said we should go back and bring her along. I agreed that this was a fine idea. So we pulled back into the bar parking lot and I walked back up to the bar to talk to her. I said that I had left to smoke a joint with my cousins and she was now invited. Misty was slightly hesitant, saying that some other fellow had said he would buy her a drink, but then she said okay, that it would be better if she left anyway since her ex-boyfriend was right across the room.
I suppose I should have asked if she had a boyfriend but this question always seems to escape me. I was perturbed but only slightly; because what the hell is an ex-boyfriend anyway? As we stepped outside into a parking lot I felt a foot scrape against the back of my legs. I turned around to see a short brown guy with arms out and fists clenched.
"Fucking Wasichu with a little dick" he said; pride compels me to insist that this is only half true. At any rate though this was far more trouble than I had had any intention of getting into. I was simply looking for whatever level of good company I could find. I would soon enough be back in a town big enough for ex-lovers to keep themselves the hell out of the same bar, and it never occurred to me to do anything but to get myself the hell out of this nonsense. I backed away from the ex-boyfriend with an eye for any furtive movement, got into the backseat of my cousins car, and told him to go, now.
After I explained to the relatives what had happen my male cousin; a former construction worker who measures at about 6-5 and 250 pounds, said that I should have summoned him out of the car, and that 'he would have taken care of it. I told him that thank you but no, to which he expressed exacerbation. Without asking he picked up his phone and called a friend of his named Greg, a man known for being more or less a professional drunken fighter, and asked if he would like to have a pitcher of beer with us at the Den, and that by the way his cousin Josh was being hassled.
"What the fuck are you doing?" I asked.
"Just chill Josh I got this" he said.
"No you don't. I'm not having any trouble. I'm not having any legal complications in this town on the night before I leave, and I have no fucking interest in paganistically claiming a woman through violence."
"That's what women want Josh."
"Right. Well man, I know that there are some women who are attracted to that, but they tend to be just as fucked up as the guys they get with you know? I mean they're really not worth having."
At this my cousin and his wife both turned to me with deeply offended looks. "What the fuck does that mean Josh?" They asked.
"Oh, nothing I guess." I said.
To call this an epiphany would be too much. Still it was a jarring reminder. I come from a culture and a family where a man who thinks that the trouble with fighting is not the risk of being beaten but the fight itself is considered terribly strange, at best.
A few minutes passed before we happened to roll back past The Den. There were four cop cars in a lot covered with broken glass. The police had gathered six or seven men into a huddle shouting angrily amongst themselves and at the cops. The jealous Native boy was in the front of all of this trying to spasm his way out of a pair of handcuffs.
"See Josh, you just needed to wait half an hour" my cousin said as he laughed.
I never did get back in touch with Misty. Beautiful woman, like I said. Writing all this down reminds me of just how beautiful she was.

Shirley Milbrodt Beran
My last grandparent died Sunday night at the age of 83. Several years ago, when she and grandpa both started their decline, she predicted that she would outlive him by about six months, and this turned out to be so.
The photos of Grandma in her twenties show a woman who looks freakishly similar to my mother at the same age. All her life she had the same mischievous smile when she was happy. Always quite thin and, even when young, quite pale, a neutral observer of the time may of been surprised that she was able to birth five kids safely.
I once heard my Aunt Sue said that Grandma 'married late'. She was 24. Right then. She smoked a brand that doesn't exist anymore until she was fortysomething, by which point her hair was already going white, and by fifty she was just the most imposssibly perfect cartoon of a Grandmother. I love her very much.

Mosques and the People who Love to Hate Them: Part 2.
"'As a mother and a grandmother, I worry,' Ms. Serafin said. 'I learned that in 20 years with the rate of the birth population, we will be overtaken by Islam, and their goal is to get people in Congress and the Supreme Court to see that Shariah is implemented. My children and grandchildren will have to live under that.' '“I do believe everybody has a right to freedom of religion,' she said. 'But Islam is not about a religion. It’s a political government, and it’s 100 percent against our Constitution.' NYT-8/9/10
But even as the mayor called for the mosque to be embraced, those opposed to the project pledged to aggressively fight it, using both litigation and public pressure. A prominent Republican and foreign policy analyst said he was working with business, civic and political leaders to organize a campaign to persuade architects, contractors and donors to steer clear of the project. He said they would also aggressively scrutinize any donors who supported it.
The Republican, Daniel Senor, a former high-ranking official with the coalition government in Iraq, said that anybody who works with the center “needs to know there is going to be a real stigma associated with this project.”
“Do they really want to be involved with something so detrimental, that might set New York back?” he asked. NYT: 8/3/10
"Glaringly
Obvious
Projection", wagged some poster in a FARK.com thread on this matter yesterday.
And indeed, the modern Republican party sells itself on the promise that conservatism is not just a general tendency of tendency of thought, but the means of combining all truth; physical, moral, religious and philosophical, into an objective concrete whole. It goes without saying that there can be no honest disagreement with any part of this unified truth, it is only embraced in whole by the worthy or rejected in whole by the damned.
Further it is taken as a given that for anything to physically exist is necessarily to battle for supremacy over other things of the same kind. It is understood that all belief systems exist primarily as pretexts for seeking temporal dominance, a dominance which rightfully belongs only to those who have embraced the real truth of American conservatism.
(In that vein, this Daniel Senors veiled threat of extortion is about as vile and bilious as it gets.)
This basic mindset certainly can and certainly has been just as easily embraced by Muslim supremacists, Leftist revolutionaries, or any degree of neo anti disotata you could think of. There are many complex reasons for why fanatical, absolutist appeals to this or that person. For the purpose of this post let us state simply that there are emotional comforts to be had in convincing oneself that we are here mainly to fight each other. There is relief to be had in putting death into a human form that can be fought back against, and maybe even the promise of a bastard immortality for those who fight and hate and believe enough.
Even George W. Bush warned against picking a fight with Islam as a whole; obviously such a fight would be catastrophic for everyone involved. But what those pundits and editorializers who mildly scold the bigots about the dangers of causing a rift with the Muslim world or whatever is that this is exactly what they want. A grandiose, furiously burning, Olympian, apocalyptic 'Clash of Civilizations' is precisely what they want. And as "their" country and "their" civilization grows ever more pluralistic and leaves them ever further behind, they are only going to want it more and more.
They will never have the cosmic triumph they were promised. They will never be the demi-warriors they were taught they had to be and assure that they were. Those of us who do not share their sickness can pity them, otherwise there is little else to do but dismiss them as the fascist brats they are.

Mosques and the People who Love to Hate Them.
“Survivors of the Holocaust are entitled to feelings that are irrational,” he said. Referring to the loved ones of Sept. 11 victims, he said, “Their anguish entitles them to positions that others would categorize as irrational or bigoted.” -Abraham Foxman, Anti-Defamation League, quoted in NYT 7/3010
Foxman made this statement in regards to the ADL joining the opposition to a mosque being built several blocks away from ground zero in lower Manhattan. To understand how an organization which since 9/11 has made many brave stands against creeping Islamophobia and general xenophobia one need only read the line 'entitled to feelings that are irrational.'
Now it's certainly true that bigotry as reaction to outside attack is the easiest kind to understand. If someone noticeably different from you commits some horrible act then of course there is great comfort in convincing yourself that the thing that makes them different is the reason for why they did it, and that more importantly your own difference from them means you need never doubt your own immunity from committing such evil. So the sad truth is that suffering through an outside attack can make good-willed people not generally prone to bigotry suddenly succumb to it.
This is easy to understand, but still bullshit; adhering to a prejudice that is understandable is certainly not the same thing as being entitled to it.
Now for those who had been prone to bigotry before it can be pretty well assured that any sort of outside attack will produce a strutting told-you-so paternalism among them. In the North Platte Telegraph last winter there was one among its stable of lunatic screechers who admitted to being glad for 9/11. The far right considers the WTC attacks as indisputable proof that their eternal-struggle view of the world was the correct one. 'Different peoples exist for the purpose of attempting to impose their wills on each other, and not one of them has any right to do so except for us. For we are the worthies, we are the people, the only people on Earth who exist for our own sakes. Everyone else exists only out of reaction against us,(Note how there are still those who use 9/11 as reason to restrict Latin immigration and their actions are nothing more than acts of behavior born out of fearing us or acts of misbehavior born of not fearing us. Let all those who speak the absurd lie of peace now see what happens when they don't fear us."
Keep in mind that the circle of 'us' may be tightened or expanded as needed for whatever the argument of the monument demands. Since the worthies are, after all, destined to total victory in a struggle that is destined to never end, it goes without saying that this involves a great deal of slapping reality around. The Germans and French will at some times be included in the circle as part of 'The West', and at other times be cast out of it as socialist faggots. The residents of the cities where the 9/11 attacks actually occurred can be accepted in the circle as sacred victims for who the worthies pledge to extract revenge, and at other times be excluded as, well, socialist faggots.
What it basically comes down to is a desire to keep the circle of us as small as possible, because where's the honor in being worthy unless almost nobody else is? And yet the Worthies' claim to dominion is based on a stated commitment to protect what they seek to dominate; And so they must occasionally express devotion towards Coastal American and Western European cities while at the same time obviously hating these places and the modern cosmopolitanism that the they represent. So beyond the basic core of White American Christian Conservatives it's never at all clear just who does constitute us but that's not important. It will all work out in the end as long as it is perfectly clear who they are.
And on this point let us be clear indeed. Hatred of Muslims is the greatest sacrament among those Americans who hate religiously, and will remain so until such time as we are attacked by roving gangs of Neo-Odinic Icelanders or proto-Marxist Argentines. The last serious foreign attack, whether it happened yesterday or a century ago, will to the Worthies forever be the ultimate proof that we are doomed to slaughter without their control.
Let it be understood that a refusal to allow the Lower Manhattan Mosque, in addition to violating the Constitution, would fail in it's intended purpose of soothing the worries of normally tolerant people who have been shocked out of their senses for however long by the attacks. The general public's suspicion of Islam-in-general will fade over time, just as suspicion towards the Germans and Japanese did. And Preventing the mosque would only give fading Islamophobia a fresh breath of life through official sanction.
Worse yet would be the message that such an action would send to those Worthies who lust for eternal apocalypse, against either Islam or whoever else is available. Note how opponents of the mosque describe it's building as an act of 'conquest' by Islam as a whole and plead with officials to not 'submit'. Absolutely every human action is an act of either dominance or submission to these sick minds, and they have invented this controversy out of thin air for the express purpose of showing that, lost elections be damned, they are still the rightful owners of American culture.
The American Right has recently gotten very busy abusing this or that brown minority as a means of regaining political power, and it is to our shame that this seems to be at some level working. Still it towards them that we should be careful of showing no signs of surrender towards, for they have been threatening our liberty far more than any Al-Quida bird brain for some time now.

Dr. Kevin Pezzi: Behold the Ubermench Comith
Dr. Kevin Pezzi can cure cancer.
http://www.second-opinion-doc.com/cancer.html
Dr. Kevin Pezzi is better at math than Bill Gates. http://www.lose-weight-easily.net/dr_pezzi.htm
Dr. Kevin Pezzi has made his own penis grow "bigger than some porno stars" through sheer force of will. http://www.sexualtips.net/ae.htm
Dr Kevin Pezzi will tighten your vagina.
"Sweeping problems under the rug may be good for magazines, but not for their readers. In recent years, we've seen some major strides in frank discussions of male problems such as impotence (you've never seen a Viagra ad, have you?), but imagine that there was a drug that tightened the vagina. Would we ever see this advertised? Would we ever see female sports stars with loose vaginas become spokeswomen for the drug? Never in a million years! So why doesn't anyone bat an eye when sports stars or washed-up politicians with impotence become spokesmen for Viagra?"
-The Pez.
"You could spend the rest of your life reading about sex in books and on various websites, and you still wouldn't know half of what I do."
Amen he is God.

Thank you Judge Walker, for being so shockingly activist as to read the equal-protection clause of the Constitution literally. The news from San Francisco is especially heartening in light of our own little bush-league rat of a governor out race-baiting again.
Freedom is not a zero-sum game but rather exactly the opposite. It is impossible to have freedom for yourself without allowing it for everyone else. Those who would rather have a feeling of superiority than freedom are traitors who have always lost out in the end and forever shall.
Love, freedom, and justice. We are winning. We will win.

Hairspray Woman Vs. Micheal Moriarty Mashup
One is a deranged vagrant toiling in Nebraskan obscurity, the other is a former "Law & Order" Star who is now a paid and published writer for Andrew Brietbart. See if you can tell who wrote what.
We must just respond to this Communist Collective and its Dictator with another form of C.C.: the Christian Collective.
Do not fool yourselves: Communism is a faith, a Devil-worshipping religion!
Communist tyranny, coupled with its own version of Gestapo, Islamic Jihadists, are intent upon not merely the “fundamental transformation of the United States” but the utter and compete destruction of the Judeo-Christian Civilization.
A spirit is walking the American land and it is not Communist, nor Jihadist.
It is profoundly Judeo-Christian, and, with 5,000 years of its existence, this spirit will inevitably triumph.
After waiting until the Progressive Jihadists are fully assembled and as cocksure as Adolph Hitler in Paris, the Judeo-Christian Spirit, “under God,” will not only walk the land, but, piece by piece, disassemble every single creation of the Progressive Movement.
"AMSTERDAM'S HEALTH OFFICIALS EXTERMINATE thousands of Netherlanders in hospitals for not using drugs without advance directive papers. The Fist of the Obama Nation will be closing around America. Undeniably miraculous that a child, like a female, singing, Biblical David, should arrive with that much inborn courage, wisdom and sensitivity!
Obama's feds do the same.
Such miracles in gestation are being treated as utterly irrelevant. The inhumanity of The Progressive’s Progress marches blindly forward to end the essence of the Judeo-Christian Civilization, and, I might add, God’s angels on Earth.
WOMEN WERE BURNED IN EUROPE FROM 1200 to 1624 FOR BLASPHEMING WITH A MUSLEM VOICEIN
their head. In 1624 when the last of the Moslems left Europe there were no more
burning of women. The 19 Moslems that crashed into two building at 9/11 had a
Moslem voice in each of their heads. After listening to my daily diet of Glenn Beck, I reluctantly realize that all of his leadership power and skill will lead to ruin if he doesn’t prioritize the overturning of Roe v. Wade. In the 8th century when the Moors went into Spain a nice Saint Oriaf brought those afflicted with voices into a church and they got well. The Obama Nation’s vengeful enslavement of traditional America, as payback for slavery, is purely the Devil’s doing. Like Job, America’s patience will be sorely tested.
In the case of this Third Millennium Job, traditional America, God will not order Evil to cease and desist until America sees its greatest sin!
One even greater than that of slavery.
The legalized murder of abortion.
The Roe v Wade Holocaust.
At a modest estimate, 50 million, gestating human beings have been butchered by Roe v Wade.
Don't go to a psych unit if you hear voices; With such inner deterioration, the Obama Nation will collapse in agonizing defeat before the miraculously powerful strains of a 7 year-old child, a young, female, Biblical David now known as Rhema Marvanne.As she sings: they might exterminate you. Use hair spray. Wear a rosary on head, neck and undies and stay in church. Since when did God ever bless Cain for slaying Abel?
Oh, the Devil loves Cain, and Mankind is no match for the Devil.
God is.
God won’t really help us until Roe v Wade is overturned, if only in one of America’s states.
It is in that rage of the Obama Nation that God will work His miracles and turn former Progressives into Americans again. Use yogurt as lotion, scalp and meals, garlic on the body, honey on head, Listerine in mouth and spray. Put white crosses on entryway of rooms and buildings and on forehead, top of a page and with your name in it as they did in 999 AD. It really helps.
lease listen to this seven-year-old!
Divine.
obama-angry
“It felt great,” Rhema Marvanne, said about making her theatrical debut. “It felt like God is really proud of me and he’s smiling right at me.”
She has that right, along with what appears to be everything else in her soul.
Does God send His divinities when we need them most?
Yes.
Does he send us other symbols of His Amazing Love?
Yes.
Who, what and where they are is up to you.
What we are facing in terms of Evil, however, demands that we collect around these divinely gifted souls, worship with them and listen to God’s Will for us.
A Spirit of Evil is not only moving across the land, but owns the very halls of power we are most vulnerable to.
It is an Evil so great that only God knows what to do with it.
Ahab and Jezebel and their 21st Century counterparts, the Clintons and the Obamas, have ruled American infanticide for two decades. They intend to expand the use of death as a solution to the “problems” and “challenges” of a Progressive New World Order.
Because the United States has resigned itself to legalized abortion and the Supreme Court’s Roe v Wade decision for 37 years, the Progressive Disease that now possesses the land will not be stopped.
Why?
God will not lift a finger to delay the progress of the Progressives as long as Americans refuse to call abortion for what it is: cold-blooded murder.
How many Rhema Marvanne’s have been butchered by Roe v. Wade?!
How many angels has God sent that we have aborted?
Is there anything planned by The Progressives that could surpass in importance the living witness to God embodied by this 7 year old prodigy?
No.
Man as God, holding God’s power over life and death.
Which man or woman on earth then can claim to be the will of God?
The Communist Collective and its ever-obligatory dictator!
The Progressive Disease will collapse from within.
Why?
It is a lie.
The grandest lie that ever sought to own and run the human race is the Progressive New World Order!
It actually dwarfs the endless lies of Hitler, Stalin and Mao.
Why?
The depth of its treasonous hypocrisy.
Posing as not only Christians but, if you can believe it, Catholics as well, the Clintons, the Obamas and the Pelosi/Bidens are selling their tyranny as a Christian liberation.
I cannot think of a greater display of heretical arrogance than Nancy Pelosi demanding an audience with the Pope.
To watch her listen to Benedict XVI and his lecture to her on the cardinal sin of abortion and yet to have her maintain that increasingly infuriating smile on her lying lips?
Then to watch her carry that smile through a gathering of Tea Party protestors and have her African American, Fellow Progressives also lie about what was said at that protest?
Treasonous hypocrisy!
Can you conceive of a more horrifying combination of sins?
Sin, however, is not anything the Progressive Movement recognizes.
The only sin for the PM and the Obama Nation is any opposition to their Progressive ambitions.
The intensity of the battle between Arizona and the Obama Nation is a prelude and warm-up for the rage that the Obama Nation will feel when one state defies Roe v Wade and categorically defines murder by abortion as illegal.
Without God’s help, the Tea Party, 9/12ers and Fox News will face one infuriating defeat after another.
I don’t believe God will be there to defeat the Progressive New World Order unless Americans realize that their resigned acceptance of Roe v Wade, their look-the-other-way attitude, is a revelation of their real priorities: their impassioned commitments to personal income and personal freedom than to the sacredness of human life itself.
God, at least the Judeo-Christian Deity I know, hardly put Mammon before the baby Jesus.
Our Lord said, “As you do unto the little ones, so you do unto Me!”
As the Tea Party and 9/12ers roll toward their big day in Washington, D. C. on August 28th and collect their conglomerate power for what amounts to a counter-revolution in the face of what has now become of America: the Obama Nation?
Legislation, already passed by Congress – the Healthcare and Financial Regulation Bills – will be inflicting their increasingly invasive powers over the American people.
Only God and God alone can so weaken this worldwide Hand of Evil that the Fist of the Obama Nation will open and let the American people go.
I have nothing to say about all of this, except to add on a personal level that me and my family have always practiced the Congregationalist Reform version of Satanic Communist Islam, (We're the ones with the blue hats) and I do very much resent anyone who tries to lump us in with those heretics in the New English SCI. Dear old Granny Metastaphula Trotskyhid would surely drop dead if she heard such rot. For shame.

So, Bill Cosby Isn't Dead, Well That's Nice.
Anyway, this LP from back in 67 looks rather more avant-garde than I would expect from the guy.
Awhile back I read an excellent article from Ta-Nehisi Coates, describing how Cosby's recent turn as professional scold was basically Black nationalism stripped of the esoteric trappings of Garvey or Elijah Mohammad. And that White conservatives who praised Cosby for finally being a Black man willing to publicly speak truth to the Black community had basically no clue of what they were praising.
Just thought I'd mention.

I've stumbled upon a wingnut blog with the following name, http://truthinconviction.us/weblog.php.
Yes, truth is what ever God's favored children want it to be, as long as they want it with manly 'conviction' ans aren't wishy-washy about it; and with all the back in forth about 'epistemic closure' on the right this is really nothing new at all. There's a legend about Joseph or Arimathea answering Pilate's question to Christ, "The truth is what I believe."
I think that it is a heart a very simple thing; those who feel the greatest sense of entitlement tend to be the same as those with the most provincial thought processes. To put it another way, it is common for a perceived right to control society to exist in the same brain as an inability to perceive a reality higher than one's own society. Once you put these two senses together it becomes very easy for one to start believing that he has the power to will truths in or out of existence.
Something else that I found interesting is the 9-11 'tribute' sitting in the forest of sidebar ads that right-wing sites tend to have. (Their beliefs can never be stated loudly or repetitively enough.) The viewer is among other things commanded to 'remember our resolve.'
This, children, is what is known as a 'thought terminating cliche'. It goes without saying that remembering resolve you felt in the past does nothing whatsoever to make you resolute now. And of course the assertion that 'resolve' is good in itself takes us back round to the main point of this post, which is that these people are fucking nuts and bad things happen when you give them a military to play with. But I suppose that's been obvious for some time.
