Props To Pope Francis!

by Smitty This unabashedly heretic blog* salutes the traditional election of the new Pontifex Maximus, Francis I, after Francis of Assisi. As I was explaining on Twitter to Jimmie Bise: .@jimmiebjr As a heretic Baptist, I’ve no skin in the game, except to admit that the Roman Church is a blast shield for all Christendom. [...]

Just in Case New York Times Readers Don’t Feel Enough White Guilt Yet …

. . . Ta-Nehisi Coates is there on the op-ed pages with a stern sermonette for them. It involves the fact that an employee of a New York deli didn’t recognize the actor Forest Whitaker and accused him of shoplifting. Coates offers a few more examples — including from before he was born — of [...]

Is Progress A Bonfire?

by Smitty Ace blogged about this latest stage of bovine spongiform in-search-of-emphathy: Feeling anxious about your labia? Just stick a cellphone camera between your legs, post the photo to the Internet, and invite strangers to discuss what you’re working with. That’s the theory behind the Large Labia Project, a submission-based Tumblr that encourages women to [...]

Women: Can’t Live With Them, Can’t Live With ‘Em

by Smitty The title is about as negative as I ever get about women while having a conversation. It’s symmetric about the gender line, and I hope the ladies appropriate it as well. It relieves the very real tension about the gender divide in a joking way that doesn’t widen the gap. All that is [...]

Teenage Sex in the News (Also: Questions the SPLC Doesn’t Want You to Ask)

Item One: A judge in England refused to impose a prison sentence for statutory rape on an 18-year-old man who had sex with “a 13-year-old girl he groomed on Facebook” because Adil Rashid “went to an Islamic faith school where he was taught that women are worthless.” So, basically, if you’re a Muslim guy in [...]

HookerGate: Miami Herald Confirms Elements of Menendez Prostitute Story

The shadowy (and probably pseudonymous) tipster “Peter Williams” gave specific details about the prostitutes who were allegedly provided to New Jersey Sen. Robert Menendez in the Dominican Republic. Two Miami Herald reporters, Kathleen McGrory and Melissa Sanchez, traveled to Santo Domingo to check out the story and, while they were unable to locate the prostitutes, [...]

How to Make Babies

Do I really need to explain this, people? Apparently so, because Jonathan V. Last has written an entire column at the Wall Street Journal about the fact that people aren’t having babies and — as if that were not enough — has also written a book on the subject, What To Expect When No One’s [...]

Bolshevik Subversive Conor Friedersdorf: Innocent ‘Liberal’ Dupe or Red Agent?

“The Communists (we must give them credit for many things) are intelligent, are well disciplined, and take their orders direct from Moscow and are proud of it. . . . “Not only is Soviet Russia trying to wipe out all forms of religion, but it is successful in doing it.” – Rep. Hamilton Fish (R-New [...]

Complete Decadence

“You can kill half of your young men and repopulate your country in relatively short order. . . . But when you kill your young women . . . your country has no future.” – Roxeanne de Luca, “Really, Leon Panetta? You want Sandra Fluke in combat?” Have Americans become so decadent that they have [...]

Does Lynn Messina Grasp The Damage She’s Doing To Our Culture?

by Smitty Bottom line up front: “XX” != ” XY”. Anybody who thinks that the moral fiber of the United States has been diminished since feminism and the sexual revolution disgraced our shores  can find a contemporary example of the disease here, emphasis mine: Start to complain about your preschooler adopting gentlemanly behavior and you [...]

Rush Limbaugh Is Right: The Academic Pro-Pedophile Movement Is a Real Danger

Rush Limbaugh sparked criticism this week by pointing to an article in the British Guardian newspaper as evidence of “a movement to normalize pedophilia.” Limbaugh’s liberal critics are ridiculing his contention, but the movement he described is very real. In 2002, Judith Levine published Harmful to Minors, a book which stirred a massive controversy because of [...]

You’ve Got to Be Carefully Taught

“In the hands of a skillful indoctrinator, the average student not only thinks what the indoctrinator wants him to think . . . but is altogether positive that he has arrived at his position by independent intellectual exertion. This man is outraged by the suggestion that he is the flesh-and-blood tribute to the success of [...]
