The United Hates of America

Posted on | March 7, 2015 | 39 Comments

We’re more than six years into the Obama Age — “Hope! Change!” — and everybody hates everybody now:

The Associated Students of University of California, Irvine (ASUCI) voted Tuesday to remove all flags, including American flags, from an inclusive space on campus because of their offensive nature.
The bill, R50-70, was authored by Social Ecology Representative Matthew Guevara, and accuses all flags, especially, the American flag, of being “symbols of patriotism or weapons for nationalism.”
“[F]lags construct paradigms of conformity and sets [sic] homogenized standards for others to obtain which in this country typically are idolized as freedom, equality, and democracy,” the bill reads.
The legislation argues that flags may be interpreted differently; the American flag, for example, can represent “American exceptionalism and superiority,” as well as oppression.
“[T]he American flag has been flown in instances of colonialism and imperialism,” the bill continues, arguing that “symbolism has negative and positive aspects that are interpreted differently by individuals.”
The anti-flag hanging bill adds that free speech, such as flags in inclusive spaces, can be interpreted as hate speech.
“[F]reedom of speech, in a space that aims to be as inclusive as possible[,] can be interpreted as hate speech,” the bill reads.

Meanwhile, in Albuquerque:

They’re calling it “prom-munism.” Seniors at an Albuquerque school want their prom to have a Communism theme. Seniors at Cottonwood Classical Preparatory School near I-25 and Paseo del Norte voted online this week for the theme of their prom this year.
“They wanted prom-munism, so that’s what got voted for the most,” said senior Sarah Zachary. . . .
“We have a lot of jokesters in our grade, so they wanted it to be funny and a lot of them are really intense with politics,” Zachary said.
However, students who asked to remain anonymous don’t believe Communism is a joking matter.
“I would hope Cottonwood would realize the seriousness of having a very powerful and destructive idea as the theme for a prom,” one student wrote.
Another said, “While the seniors meant no harm in their choice of theme, it is not appropriate.”
“Our students are in the International Baccalaureate program, so they are very academically focused,” said Sam Obenshain, executive director at Cottonwood. “One of the classes they enjoy the most is a world history class.”

Meanwhile, in Detroit:

The same week President Barack Obama and his Attorney General Eric Holder are stirring the pot over alleged systemic racism in the criminal justice system in Ferguson, Missouri, a white federal judge was shot in Detroit as he fought off two Black men trying to rob him outside his home Thursday night.
Judge Terrence G. Berg, who was nominated by Obama to be a United States District Judge for the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan in 2012, was accosted outside the home he has lived in with his family for decades as he took out the trash around 9 p.m.
According to police and Berg’s wife Ann Sevier, two Black men between eighteen and twenty years old confronted Berg, telling him they were robbing him and to let them in his house. Berg resisted the robbers to prevent them from gaining entry.

The American flag is hate speech. Communism is a prom theme. A federal judge is shot. Republicans demand gay marriage. What?

“A disaster of biblical proportions. . . . Old Testament, real wrath-of-God type stuff. . . . Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies! Rivers and seas boiling! Forty years of darkness! Earthquakes, volcanoes! The dead rising from the grave! Human sacrifice! Dogs and cats living together! Mass hysteria!”

When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro.

These students might as well remove themselves from the USA also since they are so unhappy.
I strongly recommend that they go live in Iran.

The “Prom-unism” thing might not be a bad idea. Seriously – have all the students dress in identical cheap, baggy, ill-fitting gray clothing that smells of cabbage, make them stand in line for four hours to get into the dance, and then play no music other than Prokofiev’s score for “Alexander Nevsky.” Refreshments include warm water, borscht and black bread.

Then they’ll understand what it’s really like to live under Communism.

Cuba and Venezuela are closer. But the disadvantage is they would have an easier time of coming back.

Resisting Black Criminals is racist. Shows that you have uncontrolled perceptions of White Privilege.

Communism themed prom. So decorate with skulls. No food or drink except for the court table. And if you complain about anything you get drug out back and shot.

Regarding the prom fiasco, it demonstrates how well the Left has infiltrated our Educational system, in that one hundred million dead victims of communism have been whitewashed from history.

Aside: My fifteen year old saw a poster on Amazon he wanted to buy with his own money. On it were Marx, Engels, Lenin, Stalin and Mao. The caption was, “Let’s get the party started.” (He asks for permission for purchases. I immediately printed off about 100 pages of stuff regarding Communist atrocities over the years inter alia from the Kulaks through the Cultural Revolution through Cambodia and North Korea and pointed out that a) a substantial majority of the victims were killed for the faith. I also made him watch a German documentary on the fate of Lutheran pastors in East Germany. I told him if he read the material I provided and watched the documentary and still wanted to buy it, I’d let him.

But I’d be very disappointed.

Suffice it to say, the documentation had an effect and I haven’t seen the poster.

While many of them are probably genuinely TWANLOC, though time and experience may return some to the fold, I suspect many of them are just F**king with the straights.

The ones that actually think that free stuff is really free think it will never run out. Those that see “free” as the lie it is, will never be heard. I just hope there are more of the second group than I think there is and we’re just not hearing them. Yet.

PROFANITY WARNING!!!!

These over-privileged little dipshits need a series of swift, hard kicks applied to their precious little asses. Damn, what a bunch of ungrateful, little bitty f_ckers.

“[F]lags construct paradigms of conformity and sets [sic] homogenized standards for others to obtain which in this country typically are idolized as freedom, equality, and democracy.”

Even after correcting the grammer, I suspect the drafter would still have trouble translating that into English.

I always thought kids in high school economics should vote on their form of grading economy. If your class votes communism, then you share all points and everyone gets the exact same average.

Even in HS, I was to the right of Attila the Hun, and I could have seen having ‘Promunism.’ Heck, my class just boycotted our own prom one year, in toto. These kids may well be making fun of their own proglodyte teachers. At least that is how my daughter’s HS lined up–student body conservative and teachers a bunch of liberals. So…everybody relax.
