The Other McCain

Is Phil Robertson Wrong?

"It’s certainly a colorful expression of his personal preference." http://t.co/MKamR33GwZ — @mkhammer, putting it mildly — Robert Stacy McCain (@rsmccain) December 19, 2013 You’ll excuse my confusion, but amidst the hyperventilating screeches — GLAAD claiming that Phil Robertson was pushing “vile and extreme stereotypes” — maybe I missed what it was the Duck Dynasty patriarch […]

‘Nobody Matters Less to Our Society Than Young Black Women. Nobody.’

The headline quote is from a very long Village Voice interview with former Chicago Sun-Times reporter Jim DeRogatis about the sexual accusations against pop singer R. Kelly. Since the release of the singer’s latest album, Black Panties, DeRogatis has quite evidently become angry at the way Kelly’s predatory conduct has been glossed over, or even […]

Homophobia: Pathology or Tautology?

A good friend, who spent many years as an active lesbian, but then met and married a man, becoming a Christian wife and mother, absolutely hates the word “homophobia.” The implied psychiatric diagnosis — that the person so labeled has an irrational fear or hatred of homosexuals — is absurd, and can probably be best […]

Anonymous Compares Bradley Manning to Nelson Mandela (Irony Alert)

#Anonymous is circulating this. pic.twitter.com/jnAYvuHgfL Irony much? — Robert Stacy McCain (@rsmccain) December 12, 2013 In that analogy, President Obama is P.W. Botha and laws to punish disobedient soldiers are apartheid. Remember that Bradley Manning was the emotionally disturbed Army private who illegally provided classified U.S. documents to Julian Assange’s Wikileaks. Conservatives are often accused of […]

Women: Is It Possible You’re Entirely Too Self-Conscious and Judgmental?

Julie Eckert has written an article for Verily magazine called “The Care and Keeping of Online Personas” which is interesting in what it unwittingly conveys about the female worldview, namely their innate concern about courtesy, relationships and “popularity.” This girlish concern for social status is something I’ve noticed since I was in elementary school. Among […]

Rocky Horror Elementary School

“Equal rights” sounds so wonderful. Who can be against equality? Yet as Richard Weaver warned us long ago, Ideas Have Consequences, and the sledgehammer logic of “equal rights” brutally dismantles every common-sense objection. Even the most obvious facts — e.g., boys and girls are different — must therefore be suppressed to conform with The Equality […]

Hannan Answers The Godless Commies

by Smitty Like all nations, we have sometimes behaved shabbily. But I stand by my claim: no other civilisation has been so secure a repository for human freedom. All of these guilt-mongers can go get stuffed. We can be intellectually honest about our shortcomings without veering into the destructive self-hatred that so many Lefties just […]

Why Everybody Hates Atheists

@rsmccain Science! pic.twitter.com/ZBYaLZ5rQ5 — Lee Ritz, M.D. (@lee_ritz) December 4, 2013 It’s not just because atheists kill babies, because not all atheists do. But let’s admit that, in a universe of accidental randomness, there is nothing particularly special about a little clump of cells. Or a bigger clump of cells, for that matter. So if […]
