Rule 5 Sunday: Take It Like A Man

Posted on | March 9, 2014 | 23 Comments

— compiled by Wombat-socho

Last week we had a complaint from a Confused Person who was having problems comprehending how Stacy could rail against various forms of social and sexual iniquity while still allowing Rule 5 posts; he felt that this was insufferable hypocrisy and could not be allowed to continue. I pointed out that nekkid women were not in and of themselves pornographic, and that if they offended him, he was free to not click the links and look at them. Now, I’ve pretty much operated on the honor system and relied on you folks not to send me actual depictions of the physical act of love, and while some of you may have dubious taste (I’m looking at you, EBL) I’m 99% sure nobody’s ever done so.* All this goes by way of warning folks that they should exercise caution when clicking the links so as not to unintentionally offend significant others, feminists, Unitarians, and other people liable to be shocked and dismayed when confronting the glory of God’s creation with or without lingerie, fur and/or swimsuits. On with the linkagery!

Valley of the Shadow returns after an extended absence with a nice pair: Metal Sanaz and (to help rattle the tip jar) the suitably named Cervana Fox. Goodstuff checks in with Brett Rossi and some vintage Rule 5, Animal Magnetism has Rule 5 Friday and the Saturday Gingermageddon, Blackmailers Don’t Shoot spotlights Mellisa Clarke, and Ninety Miles From Tyranny offers Morning Mistress, Hot Pick of the Late Night, and Girls With Guns.

EBL’s thundering herd of heifers includes the prescient Governor Palin, the despicable Rachel Canning, upskirt photos in Massachusetts, Piers Morgan & “Bella Knox”, Sex At CPAC,  and Women At CPAC.

A View From The Beach submits Sophia Bush, The Boston Peeper, When Movies Predict Science, Venezuela Is So Screwed, FEMEN Fights For Ukraine, Can A Mermaid Save The Bay? A Visit To Easter Island, Giant Virus Found Frozen In Tundra (has cavegirl content),  Vive la Différence, and A Very Interesting Species.

Proof Positive’s Friday Babe is Emma Stone, his Vintage Babe is Ida Lupino, and of course there is Sex in Advertising. Dustbury this week has Susanna Hoffs and Dakota Fanning.

The DaleyGator’s DaleyBabes this week included Ariadne Diaz, Chasty Ballasteros, Markie Post, Nana Ozaki, Tiara Turley, Leslie Mann, Ashley Jones, Ally Maki, Rachel Frew, Nina Mercedez, Daniele Watts, Laura Haddok, Madeleine Stowe, Haruki Sato, Asuka Kishi, Kana Matsui, Mayu Sato, Michelle Lewin, Yukina Momoyama, and Hot Women In Hot Kitchens.

Sarah Palin CPAC 2014 Part 1

Posted on | March 9, 2014 | 6 Comments

Her conversational, mocking tones make all the needful heads ‘splode on the Left. At the same time, her lack of demonstrated interest in running again saw her take 2% in the CPAC straw poll. Nevertheless, we luv huh.

Actual GOP Leadership On Display

Posted on | March 9, 2014 | 20 Comments

by Smitty

In stark contrast to the Vichy GOP propping up the wrong side of history, here we have a clip of Ted Cruz telling a smarmy little mongrelish semihuman reporter that, if the will of the people is expressed strongly enough, Democrats could in fact put a stake in the undead heart of ObamaCare:

We must all respect the calmness with which Ted Cruz treats Beltway wisdom like a urinal cake.

via Rare

UPDATE: Ted Cruz differentiates himself from Rand Paul on foreign policy. I don’t think there is a substantial difference between their views; it’s mostly stylistic. In reality, international power abhors vacuum, and the U.S. either fills that void, or stands by like a gaping Obama while less savory figures like Putin do.

What truly inspires about Cruz, however, is his rhetorical command. Stacy McCain says, and all of these blow-dried codpiece media idiots do, “The only way that a journalist should look at a politician is down the nose.” Cruz, however, is completely undaunted by any of them. Either his legal training or his debate practice (or both) seem to enable Cruz to play verbal chess three moves ahead of whatever buffoon is trying for a piece of him.

Truly inspiring stuff.

Get ‘Empowered,’ Duke-Style!

Posted on | March 9, 2014 | 75 Comments

The expression on the face of Duke University freshman Women’s Studies major Miriam Weeks (“Belle Knox”) represents . . .

This may be on the final exam. Getting boned on camera is an expression of “sexual autonomy,” Miriam Weeks told Piers Morgan, who agreed to interview her using her porn pseudonym. The dwindling audience of Morgan’s soon-to-be-cancelled CNN show might be surprised to learn that “autonomy” looks an awful lot like . . . getting boned on camera.

Inevitably, dimwit feminists have adopted Miriam Weeks as a cause cèlébre, with Ayesha Adamo at the progressive site AlterNet calling the Duke freshman “the hero I was waiting for”:

According to an interview clip of Belle on the Duke Chronicle Soundcloud page, even Knox’s father is still paying for his own medical school education over twenty years after the fact, which really says it all: that we’ve entered an era of multi-generational student debt, an era in which parents and children are both simultaneously paying for the education that their keen minds entitled them to, but that their empty wallets knew was out of the question. This is what we do to our best and brightest, who make the cut at top universities by virtue of their merits (and not by their wealth): we saddle them with the burden of overwhelming debt. Even with the help of financial aid packages that include both government aid and aid from the university itself, middle class students still need to cover tens of thousands of dollars in tuition costs on their own. . . .

(This is a false dilemma: College students must either take on massive debt, or work as porn stars. But not every university has $40,000-plus annual tuition, and it is only the snooty elitism of Miriam Weeks — who evidently thinks she is too good to attend a state university, and who turned down a full scholarship to Vanderbilt — that put her in the financial predicament by which she justifies her porn career.)

Knox asserts that, “If Duke had given me the proper financial resources, I wouldn’t have done porn.” Naturally, a statement like this has everybody who isn’t Belle claiming that surely she could have done something else, found some more “respectable” job if she’d wanted to. And sure enough, during high school, Knox had a “real job” in which she attempted the delicate balance of waiting tables while completing her schoolwork. She recounts the experience to the Duke Chronicle saying this . . .
“For people to tell me that doing porn and having sex, which I love, is more degrading than being a waitress and being somebody’s servant and picking up after somebody and being treated like a lesser, second-class citizen, that literally makes no sense. To be perfectly honest, I felt more degraded in a minimum wage, blue-collar, low paying, service job than I do doing porn.”
Degradation is in the eye of the beholder, and if you think that Belle’s accounts of being treated like a second-class servant are an exaggeration, then you probably don’t know many waitresses, nannies, maids, or personal assistants. . . .

(This is an outrageous insult to every service-industry worker in the country. My own daughter, by the way, graduated high school with honors when she was only 16 and, although she was recruited by several private liberal arts colleges, she attended community college and then a state university. She worked her way through school waiting tables at Pizza Hut and working at a daycare center, and graduated summa cum laude — debt-free. Oh, but Miriam Weeks is too good to wait tables, and Miriam Weeks is too good to attend a state college. Miriam Weeks is so much better than everybody else that she simply must attend Duke University . . . and get boned on camera to pay the bills.)

In my eyes, Belle Knox is already a hero simply for fearlessly bringing these types of issues into the spotlight for public discussion. Here she stands, with great strength and intelligence, owning her life and her story, saying all the things that no one wants to talk about in the face of such threatening adversity.

“Threatening adversity”? My 21-year-old Army son has been through basic training, infantry training, airborne training and Special Forces selection, aspiring to obtain the coveted Green Beret so that he might have the honor of facing our nation’s enemies in armed combat. Does Ayesha Adamo expect me to admire a Duke freshman as a “hero” — overcoming “threatening adversity” — for doing porn to pay her elite university tuition? A hero is, by definition, someone who exemplifies virtues that we wish to encourage others to emulate. If hiring out her vagina for commercial display makes Miriam Weeks a “hero,” doesn’t that term imply that we wish more 18-year-old girls would do the same?

Behold the bankruptcy of our intellectual class, who will celebrate even the most despicable depravity, if it can be used as an excuse to lecture us, to display their alleged superiority to normal people who consider pornography inherently shameful.

Is it any wonder that no one at Duke University — no student, no professor, no administrator — seems capable of articulating a coherent argument against pornographic “empowerment”? Why would anyone pay money to be taught by these people?

Erika Harold For Congress: A CPAC, Rule 5 & Godliness Trifecta

Posted on | March 9, 2014 | 6 Comments

by Smitty

While staking out a line of sight for Sarah Palin, along came Erika Harold, and I was suddenly glad to be an old married fart, and spared the need to be any more than Platonically respectful of a truly gracious lady.
But don’t stop at the pretty face. She’s got the mind and the soul to go with it, as unfolds in her speech:

and finally:

What she fails to mention in her CPAC speech is her Congressional candidacy in Illinois 13th District:

The incumbent is Rodney Davis, a first-term Republican who won by a razor-thin margin in 2012.

Ann Coulter on Illegal Immigration and Demographics: ‘No, You’re Raping Me.’

Posted on | March 8, 2014 | 16 Comments

Phyllis Schlafly and Ann Coulter at Saturday’s immigration panel.

Vivid analogies are not evidence of hate and, while I’m sure this is going to become another one of those “CPAC controversy” headlines, the point Ann Coulter was making is entirely valid:

“My favorite network for humor is MSNBC. They’re always sneering, demographics are changing. No this isn’t a natural process,” Coulter said. “It’s like you’re being raped and the guy is telling you ‘my penis is in you.’ No, you’re raping me. Demographics are changing by force. There is nothing natural about it.”

That’s the quote according to the Blaze, and my memory of what Coulter said at today’s Eagle Forum immigration panel is slightly different, but there were dozens of bloggers at the event, so we’ll see video eventually and be able to check it word-for-word.

The springboard of this discussion was the Eagle Forum’s recent report on the political and economic impact of immigration. And the point that Coulter was making is that when people in the media say that “demographics are changing,” they convey the impression that this is an inexorable, organic process. It’s not.

Our nation’s demographics are being changed as a result of deliberate government policy, and anyone who tells you otherwise — whether it’s the clowns on MSNBC or the clowns running the Republican Party — is lying. If people knew the truth about our current immigration policy, they would be very angry about it, but there are people deeply invested in keeping people uninformed and misinformed, so that indeed, we are like rape victims who are being told by the perpetrator that we aren’t actually being raped.

God bless Ann Coulter for speaking the truth — and for putting it in strong language that makes people pay attention.

The Bildebergers and Freemasons Haven’t Been Named as Defendants, Yet

Posted on | March 7, 2014 | 54 Comments

Brett Kimberlin has filed his “Second Amended Complaint” in the federal RICO suit against myself and 20-odd other defendants. I’ll discuss it more at length later, but to give you just a hint of the insane desperation in evidence, Kimberlin has expanded his conspiracy theory to include HB Gary and “Team Themis.”

If those names don’t ring a bell, remember that former Anonymous spokesman Barrett Brown was obsessed with them.

Oddly, although Kimberlin now claims to be the victim of a conspiracy originated by “Team Themis,” none of those people are actually named as defendants. So the people who allegedly started this conspiracy get off the hook scot-free, while the self-proclaimed victim/plaintiff sues a bunch of bloggers? Does the pro se pipsqueak perjurer imagine that the judge won’t notice this paradox?
