Mental Illness on Parade

Posted on | January 2, 2015 | 84 Comments

Occasionally, I amuse myself by searching for certain feminist jargon terms on Twitter and RT’ing the wacky results. The jargon of feminism is a way for misfits to normalize their own insanity. That is to say, feminists look at the lives of normal human beings and see oppression. It is wrong for us to be normal, happy and successful, feminists believe, because our happiness and success are obviously the cause of their misery and failure. A few examples should suffice to demonstrate how this operates.

You see that it is wrong, according to feminists, for males to be masculine, for females to be feminine, and for heterosexuality to be assumed as a natural and socially desirable pattern of behavior. Therefore, the weirdos and freaks have invented a special vocabulary used to suggest that the normal beliefs and attitudes of normal people are a type of hateful prejudice. This feminist propaganda tactic has the effect of stigmatizing normal behavior while celebrating deviant behavior as a courageous resistance to social prejudice.

Do not be deceived by this propaganda. It is a species of evil, a lie akin to “Ye shall not surely die . . . ye shall be as gods.”





 

 

Ex-Teenage Hooker Says She Was Forced to Have Sex With British Royalty

Posted on | January 2, 2015 | 49 Comments

Let’s make a few things clear at the outset:

  1. Jeffrey Epstein is disgusting scum;
  2. British royalty are disgusting scum;
    and
  3. I do not approve of prostitution.

These disclaimers are necessary because brutal sarcasm is considered inappropriate when reporting weird stories like this:

A woman who claims that an American investment banker loaned her to rich and powerful friends as an underage “sex slave” has alleged in a US court document that she was repeatedly forced to have sexual relations with Prince Andrew.
The accusation against the Duke of York is contained in a motion filed in a Florida court this week in connection with a long-running lawsuit brought by women who say they were exploited by Jeffrey Epstein, a multi-millionaire convicted of soliciting sex with an underage girl after a plea deal. . . .
The woman, who filed the motion anonymously, alleges that between 1999 and 2002 she was repeatedly sexually abused by Epstein who, she also alleges, loaned her out to rich and influential men around the world.
The document — a motion to expand an ongoing lawsuit relating to prosecutors’ handling of Epstein’s case with two new plaintiffs — alleges that the woman “was forced to have sexual relations with this prince when she was a minor” in London, New York and on a private Caribbean island owned by Epstein.
The woman is said to have been 17 at the time, considered to be a minor in Florida.

As previously mentioned, I do not approve of prostitution, but if a teenage hooker is going to get pimped out, I’m not sure that having a wealthy investment banker as her pimp and Prince Andrew as one of her johns is the worst-case scenario. There are lots of teenage hookers who have it worse, turning tricks with slimy creeps in cheap motels and handing over all their money to some thug whose “job” is to keep her supplied with drugs and slap her around if she gets out of line.

For the typical whore, there are no private jets, no Caribbean islands, and she never turns any tricks with European royalty.

Did I mention that Jeffrey Epstein is disgusting scum? Did I mention that Epstein is an associate of known perjurer Bill Clinton?

Because maybe you forgot that Clinton, who was accused of raping Juanita Broaddrick, reportedly took “multiple trips to the onetime billionaire [Epstein]’s private island in the Caribbean where underage girls were allegedly kept as sex slaves.”

None of the underage sex slaves have said they got boned by Bill Clinton, although at least one of them says she got boned by former Harvard Law Professor Alan Dershowitz. He denies this accusation, because no Harvard Law professor would be stupid enough to admit boning an underage sex slave on a billionaire’s private Caribbean island.

These people are disgusting scum, and at least one of them is a Democrat, but then again, all Democrats are disgusting scum. It’s important that we denounce them as the scum they are, and readers will please excuse me if my denunciation is expressed as brutal sarcasm, but that’s what I get paid for. Brutal sarcasm is less lucrative than being an investment banker or a Harvard Law professor, however, so it’s unlikely I’ll be traveling to a Caribbean island anytime soon, unless you guys start hitting the tip jar and urging me to do some investigative reporting on the sex slave racket down there. Until then, sarcasm is all I’ve got.

Seven 2015 Predictions

Posted on | January 2, 2015 | 13 Comments

by Smitty

I don’t know how much insulin Stacy is going to need to recover from the Sugar Bowl–he could be in shock for a while. I predict he’ll root for Oregon with me on the 12th, vengeful bloke that he is. We’ll savor Boehner’s tears for the Buckeyes together.

The NRO has a lengthy list of predictions for 2015. Let me bat cleanup on a few points I didn’t see covered:

  1. Oil prices remain depressed, taking the world economy to the edge of instability. Russia, Iran, China, Venezuela–fertilizer decorates global air circulators. Baleful Barack brings bronze bollocks; Tsar Putin triumphantly treads titanium testicle territory.
  2. Gruber, the ongoing ObamaCare implosion, and  old-fashioned shame cause Chief Justice Roberts to rule judiciously on King v. Burwell. The pearl-clutching, couch-fainting, and sheer epileptic hysteria of the Left reaches geosynchronous orbit. And then the hyperbole kicks in.
  3. The Republican Congress, in the most boring way possible, offers some useful health care reforms. The no-talent rodeo clown takes a break on the putting green and signs the legislation without speech or personal pronouns. The veto pen weeps ink everywhere. The weeping turns into a fountain when the GOP actually carries out the Congressional task of producing 2016’s spending legislation in a timely fashion. Recidivists.
  4. Her Majesty Hillary Rodham Clinton serves up a triple paradox, simultaneously:
    • The only one with the depth of experience needed to un-frack the Impatient Nonprotection & Unaffordable Carelessness Act,
    • The victim of #OccupyResoluteDesk’s foreign policy Hamlet impression during her tenure as  Secretary of State, and
    • This totally reborn, fresh grandmotherly face whose you’d cheerfully vote for you if you appreciate your private property and wouldn’t it be a shame if something tragic were to occur to yours so just  keep that in mind next year you wretched little peasant scum you know she’s been scheming since Watergate to be the first woman president and if you think that she’s isn’t cashing in her chips after letting that little creep from Hawaii win in 2008 then it may be time for a little “Foster” care for you if you know what I mean and I think you do.
  5. Jeb Bush hovers comfortably around 95% committed to running for POTUS. The base will continue to be all “Meh”. More inspirational Governors and Senators will patiently wait in the wings while the Vichy GOP gazes at its navel, pondering whether a re-run of 1992 in 2016 will be its final Whig moment. Sarah Palin offers to play Perot in pumps.
  6. Having closed out 2014 with agitation on Amnesty and Cuba, BHO keeps the hits coming, with executive actions on global anthropogenic climate warming change chaos. It’s really all a desperate, masochistic plea for impeachment, but sadistic Republicans say “No.” The GOP won’t take the bait unless the proximal cause is so obvious that even Debbie Wasserman-Schultz can’t equivocate, but everyone knows DWS outsources her integrity to Lena Dunham and Rolling Stone.
  7. China decides its had enough fannying about and gobbles up Taiwan. Americans are all “Formosa, what?” until they realize that this could mean an interruption in shipments of new ‘Droid- and iPhones, with results clocking in somewhere around here:

They Get Paid to Make Tough Decisions

Anti-Police Rioters Storm Police Headquarters in St. Louis

Posted on | January 1, 2015 | 166 Comments

“Protesters”? No, this is what a riot looks like:

In what was slated as a peaceful “March to the Arch” by Ferguson demonstrators, more than two dozen people were arrested and pepper spray was used by police. The melee unfolded as protesters tried to storm the St. Louis Metropolitan Police headquarters building.
About seventy-five people marched through the downtown area and eventually went to police headquarters. There, with the building on lockdown, the group took the opportunity to rush an open door. Several people pushed in.
Upon entry, protesters read a list of demands to department officials. Those demands included a meeting with Chief Sam Dotson, Mayor Slay and Board of Aldermen President, Lewis Reed. They also requested an immediate termination of Officer’s Hayes and Flannery. They want amnesty for protesters who have been charged with non-violent offenses, the creation of a diverse Citizens Review Board with subpoena power and a seven day release of all information regarding police shootings, not limited to transparent release of all unedited videos and audio.

(Via Memeorandum.) These “protesters” are anti-democratic, pro-criminal anarchists. The city of St. Louis has an elected government, and the police are hired by that government to enforce law in the city. If a majority of the citizens are dissatisfied with their government, their laws or their police, they may make their grievances known at public meetings, or they may elect a new government.

What these “protests” are about is a lawless minority, who are in fact supporters of the city’s criminal element, attempting to impair law enforcement by creating public disturbances. Their liberal sympathizers in the media are enabling these advocates of anarchy by depicting the rioters as representatives of legitimate interests.

UPDATE: Daily Caller reports:

Mckesson’s videos show protesters walking in chanting, “Hands up, don’t shoot.” Later, they can be seen sitting on the floor, hands raised chanting, “No justice, no peace.” One video shows protesters fighting with officials to get through the doors while chanting, “This is what democracy looks like.”

No, this is what anarchy looks like.

This is what incipient fascism looks like. These are brownshirt tactics, representing a menace to public safety by dangerous people whose real goals have nothing to do with either “justice” or “peace.”

 

Tips For Americans: Take Care Taking Tea To A Brit

The Left Is Unaware Of Its Tribalism?

Posted on | December 31, 2014 | 50 Comments

by Smitty

Gallagher at The American Interest:

Indeed, one of the chief causes behind the “Peak Left” moment that Walter Russell Mead addressed recently is leftist intellectuals’ inability to recognize that they, too, are a tribe.

Somewhere around the ObamaCare cramdown, I started toying with the theory that the Left (at least its Godless Commie core, if not the surrounding Useful Idiot mass) takes a pecca fortiter approach to its task of unwinding the Enlightenment.

Stipulating that tribalism is unavoidable,

  1. Be a rock solid tribe.
  2. Deny one’s tribalism.
  3. Accuse others of tribalistic behavior.

Once you grasp that denial of ultimate Truth has allowed the Left to indulge in infinite, recreational dishonesty for the sake of amassing short-term power, the last six years of American history come into sharp focus.

The test of American Exceptionalism will be finding a way to overcome the combustion of our values known as Progressivism.
