Taco Shout-Out To Harry ‘The Cadaver’

Posted on | June 30, 2014 | 11 Comments

by Smitty

Via Instapundit:

Harry Reid (who lives in the Ritz-Carlton Hotel) said liberals are getting bullied by Republican billionaires but the Democratic Party “doesn’t have many billionaires” behind it.

Remember, you can’t spell “billionaires” without the letters in “liar is on bile”. Take it away, Taco:

Update:

The Cadaver on Twitter:

 

  1. Isn’t this Tweet insinuating that the SCOTUS is sexist?
  2. Why are only the female Justices apparently valid in Reid’s eyes?
  3. Isn’t ANY decision by the court having some kind of impact on women, even if Harry doesn’t agree?
  4. How did these Godless Commie Sodomites raise birth control to the level of a human right, for Fluke’s sake?

Virginia Democrat Indicted on Pornography, Underage Sex Charges

Posted on | June 30, 2014 | 11 Comments

You remember Virginia state legislator Joe Morrissey: Last year it was learned the 56-year-old Democrat delegate was under investigation in relation to a sleepover with underage girl.

That was 10 months ago. Now a grand jury has finally indicted him:

HENRICO — A special grand jury today issued five indictments against Del. Joseph D. Morrissey, D-Henrico, adding to a long political and legal career marked by controversy, sanctions and, now, allegations of illicit sex.
The charges by the grand jury meeting in Henrico include felony counts of indecent liberties with a minor, possession of pornographic images of an underage female and of solicitation to obtain the images.
“He had sex with her twice in his law office and texted someone about it,” special prosecutor William Neely said.
Morrissey also was indicted on a felony charge of distribution of child pornography and a misdemeanor charge of contributing to the delinquency of a minor.

Another typical Democrat sex offender. Allegedly.

Three Scary Words

Posted on | June 30, 2014 | 24 Comments

“Gay Boy Scouts” — a contingent of whom led the New York Gay Pride parade Sunday. Those of us who participated in Scouts in our youth (I made it to Star Scout and my older brother made Life Scout) have no trouble explaining our common sense objections to “equality” in this context, but if radical ideologues cared about common sense, they wouldn’t be radical ideologues, would they?

Somewhere, executives at the Bravo network are imagining the notorious SNL “Canteen Boy” sketch as a reality show.

The #HobbyLobby Hysteria

Posted on | June 30, 2014 | 44 Comments

Years ago, while reporting on federally funded research — the infamous “porn arousal” studies at Northwestern University — I developed what I like to think of as the Existential Theory of Liberalism: To a liberal, nothing exists unless it is mandated, subsidized and/or regulated by the federal government.

If you think it is a waste of taxpayer money to give a creepy psychology professor a federal grant to measure women’s sexual arousal to pornography, you will be condemned as “anti-sex.” If you want to reduce deficit spending by limiting tax money for the National Endowment of the Arts, you’re “anti-art.” Don’t agree with proposed EPA environmental regulations? You’re “anti-science.”

The reaction to today’s Supreme Court decision in the Hobby Lobby case — where a business objected, as a matter of religious liberty, to ObamaCare’s mandated insurance coverage for contraceptives — is a case in point: Liberals want us to believe that, unless businesses are compelled by federal law to provide contraception to their employees, contraception will cease to exist.

Their arguments are absurd, but if liberals were capable of understanding facts and logic, they wouldn’t be liberals, would they?

Gender Theory Madness: Gay Man Gets ‘Doxed’ Because of His ‘Transphobia’

Posted on | June 30, 2014 | 22 Comments

In case you missed my posts over the weekend — “Tranarchy: Gender Theory = Insanity” and “Inmates Run the Facebook Asylum” — the long-running online war between transgender activists and radical lesbian feminists has been heating up lately. The two sides of the battle front are essentially this: Transactivists say it is “hate” to criticize them or refuse to participate in their pronoun-switching charades; radical dykes insist that, however fungible “gender” may be, feminism is still about the condition of women as a biologically determined category, which involves XX chromosomes, ovaries and so forth.

The latest example of how weird this war has become: “Jay Allen” is a gay man whose blog is called “Who Is Cis?” That is to say, he is dubious of the attempt by transactivists (who use the prefix “cis-” as an antonym of “trans-“) to deal with biological categories as a social problem that needs to be “theorized.” He respects radical feminists’ insistence on the importance of “female only” spaces. (Hint: If you think make-believe male lesbians, including “transitioning” shemales with penises, shouldn’t be permitted to use public restrooms for women, you’re a hater, according to transgender activists.)

On Friday, Twitter user @Anon_Redteam, who identifies as a member of Anonymous, “doxed” @WhoIsCis”, publishing his personal information in order to expose this gay man to harassment.

The conflict between radical feminism and transgender activists dates back more than three decades. Janice Raymond and Sheila Jeffreys (both of whom are lesbians and Women’s Studies professors, but I repeat myself) have remained firm in their insistence on speaking bluntly about what transgenderism signifies, psychologically and politically. As a conservative who considers feminism a mental disorder in its own right, I nevertheless find myself nodding in agreement with much of what these women say about the transgender phenomenon. Their totalitarian enemies even tried to get the radical feminists listed by the SPLC as a “hate group,” which tells you these dykes must be doing something right:

Gender Identity Watch founder Cathy Brennan tells the Voice she found efforts to pressure Routledge not to publish Jeffreys’s work “very frightening,” adding that she’s deeply troubled by “the idea that [Jeffreys], as an academic publishing a book, should have someone looking over her shoulder to make sure she’s using approved language.” . . .
An attorney who once campaigned for a Maryland nondiscrimination law that would have included legal protections for sexual orientation and gender identity, Brennan says the campaign against her is “based on this idea that if you don’t toe a specific line” — i.e., accept trans women on their own terms — “you’re a Hitler/Nazi/hater/bigot.”

Read the whole thing and make up your own mind.

The First Amendment guarantees not only free speech and a free press, but it also recognizes freedom of association. The right to assemble peacefully means that feminists don’t have to invite transvestites to a women-only conference. It is insanity to complain that you are a victim of “discrimination” because actual women — y’know, the kind who were born with a vagina and stuff — don’t accept your surgical simulacrum as valid for membership in their club.

Bonus Gender Craziness Link: A transsexual “Penile Inversion Survivor” agrees with the radical feminist critique.

Joe Biden E-Mails Me

Posted on | June 30, 2014 | 6 Comments

If you ever get signed up for one Democrat/liberal e-mail list, you will eventually be signed up for all Democrat/liberal e-mail lists. While covering the 2008 election, I signed up for e-mail alerts from the Obama campaign and my inbox is routinely flooded with crap. However, it’s useful to see what kind of desperate appeals the Democrats are sending to their supporters, like the one sent this morning by the Democrat Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) “from” Joe Biden:

Friends —
I hate to admit it, but if we fail to respond to Republican attacks now, we’re going to be up the creek without a paddle.
The Republicans just announced a $30,200,000 all-out offensive targeting Democrats in key battleground states. That’s the kind of cash that could give Speaker Boehner his largest Republican majority ever.
But — it doesn’t have to. In 2012, when Barack and I were taking punches left and right, folks like you were there for us. And I can’t thank you enough for that.
Now, we need you again. The biggest midterm fundraising deadline yet is at midnight. Can you chip in $5 or more right now?

MIDNIGHT DEADLINE: ALL GIFTS TRIPLE-MATCHED!

[The following are all links to the DCCC donation page — RSM]

Chip in $5 immediately >>
Chip in $35 immediately >>
Chip in $50 immediately >>
Chip in $100 immediately >>
Chip in $250 immediately >>
Or click here to donate another amount.

Thanks,

Joe

P.S. I’m telling you — we can defeat these House Republicans who block just about everything President Obama proposes. But we’re going to need everyone in on this.
Can you chip in something today — even if it’s just 5 bucks?

As I say, these kinds of Democrat junk e-mails arrive in my inbox routinely, and I find it difficult to believe that even the most wild-eyed liberal fanatic could be persuaded to “chip in” by these scare tactics: “Oh, noes! Republicans are attacking us! It’s an all-out offensive! Send money! We’re going to need everyone in on this!”

On the other hand, if you’re stupid enough to vote for these clowns . . .

Men’s Conference Succeeds

Posted on | June 30, 2014 | 17 Comments

Adam Serwer is a liberal journalist and when I saw his byline on a story about the first Men’s Rights conference, I feared the worst. Yet his article about the conference is surprisingly fair, perhaps because the organizers were well-prepared for media scrutiny. A genius move: Most of the speakers on the first day of the conference were women — and thus was debunked the accusation of misogyny.

This is one of the dirty little tricks of feminism: If you criticize feminists, you’re accused of hating women. But as someone who criticizes feminism on a daily basis — the founder of National Offend a Feminist Week — I know that the opposite is true. I criticize feminism because I love women. Heck, I even love the women who hate me. Feminists are just so cute when they’re offended, and when I read some radical lesbian’s denunciation of heterosexuality, proclaiming their “revulsion” toward the penis, my reaction is, “Yeah, baby. Keep talking sexy like that and I might buy you a drink.”

Earlier this month I mentioned that feminists had attempted to shut down the conference. (Because feminists hate freedom, that’s why.) They succeeded in getting the event moved from a Detroit hotel to a VFW post in the suburbs, but the conference itself was a success and — as the inaugural event was obviously not the hate fest its critics had claimed it would be — the organizers will probably have fewer problems in putting together future conferences.

My favorite quote from the Detroit conference is by Dr. Tara Palmatier: “When men can be shamed just for being men, and women no longer have any sense of shame, it creates a dangerously lopsided dynamic between the sexes.” Somebody ought to write a book . . .
