What This Economy Needs Is Another Stab In The Heart

The river of lies is gearing up for a Spring flood, according to the Washington Free Beacon:

The Obama administration has yet to finalize 28 additional regulations under Obamacare that could lead to an “avalanche” of regulatory burden on the economy, according to an analysis by the American Action Forum.
A report released Monday by Sam Batkins, director of regulatory policy at American Action Forum, details the billions in cost and millions in paperwork hours that will result from the pending regulations, including the individual mandate, which has yet to be finalized.

Swing lowwww,
Regulatory chariot,
Coming for to
Liberate me from the tedium of labor. . .Needs some polishing. But that’s what this river of lies is all about, right?

‘L’Etat, C’est Moi’

Posted on | February 11, 2014 | 31 Comments

President Obama is a law unto himself:

“ObamaCare” is useful shorthand for the Affordable Care Act not least because the law increasingly means whatever President Obama says it does on any given day.

He has once again delayed the employer mandate. The timetable for implementation of the law — which was written into the law — turns out to have been meaningless, and our latter-day Sun King has granted so many exemptions to the law that it has no meaning beyond his royal will. Everybody made fun of Nancy Pelosi for saying that Congress had to pass the bill (which neither she nor any other Democrat member of Congress had read in its entirety) so we would know what was in it.

Now we see her point, however: It didn’t really matter what was in the law, because Democrats don’t believe in the Rule of Law, and ObamaCare was essentially carte blanche: “That’s the good thing about being president, I can do whatever I want.”

Reality 1, Feminism 0

Posted on | February 11, 2014 | 14 Comments

Ideologues fetishize intellectual abstractions to the point that real life confuses them. Lori Gottlieb is therefore stunned:

The more traditional the division of labor, meaning the greater the husband’s share of masculine chores compared with feminine ones, the greater his wife’s reported sexual satisfaction.

So says an academic study, at least, and therefore the science is settled. The problem — maybe Gottlieb doesn’t understand this — is that feminism is an ideology developed by lesbian Marxists who hate men. Feminist ideology is therefore not about improving relationships between men and women; it’s about teaching women to hate men, so that all women can become Marxist lesbians.

One way to undermine the heteronormative patriarchy is to prevent men from becoming the kind of men that women love, i.e., successful, confident, masculine-type men. This is why schools have been re-organized to punish boys for acting like boys. As men become increasingly demoralized, disempowered and dysfunctional, they are simply less attractive (and less valuable) as mates.

And feminists say, “Hooray, equality!”

Feminists cheer this trend because feminists are Marxist lesbians, and every bad thing that happens to men is good news to them.

Fish, bicycle, some assembly required.

Can You Make #ObamaCare Other Than History’s Most Expensive Pile Of Bollocks?

by Smitty

This petulant assertion would come close to funny, if it didn’t come from a guy so mired in thuggish scandals. The GOP should get the audio and run that in a fundraising loop. This November isn’t an election; it’s a pre-impeachment vote.

Illegal Alien Suspected in 3 Dallas Rapes

Posted on | February 10, 2014 | 13 Comments

Jesus Adalid Madrid-Dubon is suspected of being a serial rapist and also a general all-around criminal dirtbag:

Dallas police say the Irving man they arrested Friday in connection with the rape of a 16-year-old girl earlier this week is connected to at least two other sexual assaults.
Jesus Adalid Madrid-Dubon, 27, has been charged with aggravated kidnapping, a first-degree felony. Police said Madrid-Dubon, who investigators already suspected in an August rape, will be charged in connection with a January rape . . .
The two most recent known rapes both occurred at a parking lot in the 7600 block of Sovereign Row, near Mockingbird Lane and John Carpenter Freeway in the Stemmons Corridor, according to police reports.
A 16-year-old girl was raped at gunpoint there Tuesday, police said.
On Jan. 7, a 20-year-old girl who was talking to Madrid-Dubon on a social media site agreed to meet him at the location, police said. She was raped there, too, police said. . . .
He was identified as a suspect in the rapes through a photo lineup. Police said they obtained physical evidence in both cases and are awaiting the results.
Madrid-Dubon was arrested without incident early Friday morning at his Irving home. He was booked into Dallas County jail on Friday evening in lieu of $1 million bail.
He was also already known to police as a possible suspect in an Aug. 24 sexual assault along the 1000 block of R.L. Thornton Freeway as well, Garza said Friday, but police didn’t have enough evidence to make an arrest at the time. . . .
Madrid-Dubon was arrested in 2007 in Dallas County on a felony marijuana possession charge, which records show was later dismissed.
He was also arrested in 2011 after he was accused of a misdemeanor family violence assault.

Notice that story says nothing about Jesus the Serial Rapist being an illegal alien. However, in a Monday update, reporting the details from police documents in the case, wwaaayy down near the bottom of the story, we find this:

Madrid-Dubon was arrested Friday, the day after the 16-year-old girl identified him as her attacker out of “a double blind, sequential photo line-up,” police said. He remained in Dallas County jail on Monday. His bail was set at $100,000 for the felony charge, but he also has several holds for outstanding warrants and for living in the country illegally.

What the hell? Three rapes, including a 16-year-old raped at gunpoint, and he’s “living in the country illegally” — and you don’t think that’s worth mentioning until the ninth paragraph of the story?

That’s just journalistic malpractice. Innocent people are made to suffer — a 16-year-old raped at gunpoint, hello? — at the hands of criminals who should not even be here, because government officials are unwilling to enforce our immigration laws. This is a serious public safety issue, and no amount of political correctness can justify journalists helping hide the problem by pretending it doesn’t exist.

Australia Worries About Racial Tension After Six Men Gang-Rape Girl, 14

Posted on | February 10, 2014 | 17 Comments

The failures of multiculturalism are a global problem:

Community leaders have warned of possible reprisal attacks by Blacktown’s Pacific Islander community targeting young African-Australian men in the wake of the gang-rape attack on a 14-year-old Islander girl. . . .
Blacktown Uniting Church Reverend Liva Tukutama said it was vital he and other Pacific Islander leaders reached out to African leaders to stop the young men of their communities seeking vengeance.
Meanwhile the victim’s mother says her daughter has been “broken into pieces” after what police described as a “horrendous” sexual assault by up to six men.
With tears welling in her eyes, the mother of the girl said she . . . wanted to kill the attackers who had left her daughter traumatised beyond words.
“I’m feeling angry and disgusted at what’s happened to my daughter and I want to catch those mongrels and kill them,” the girl’s mother said. . . .
[The victim] was reportedly “hanging out” with two friends in Bill Colbourne Reserve, Doonside around 11pm on Saturday night when the trio noticed “five or six” African-Australian men drinking alcohol. . . .
At 11pm that night the teenage girl became the victim of a prolonged gang rape described by Superintendent Gary Merryweather as “horrendous” and “unprovoked”. . . .
The girl’s friend said the men were known drug dealers and that that the third friend in the group had intended to make a purchase. . . .
[Reverend Tukutama] said he could not dismiss “the possibility of negative repercussions” in the community. “It would be like adding fuel to already tense relations between the young Islanders and the Africans,’’ he said.
Mr Tukutama said in times of crisis the church was the first port of call for Pacific Islander families and he was doing everything he could to reach out to the girl’s family to offer support.
Thursday night in Blacktown was “fight night” with as many as 2000 youths congregating in the [central business district], former Blacktown police commander Mark Wright said in 2012, and many gangs were divided along African and Pacific Islander lines. . . .
[L]ocals said they were so used to hearing screams from the littered, dimly lit park where Saturday night’s shocking gang rape took place, they wouldn’t know if an attack was actually taking place.
Resident Elaine Peteolo gave the shocking assessment of Bill Colbourne Park, where graffiti adorns run-down pathways amid smashed beer bottles and drug paraphernalia.
“It’s shocking, we’re so used to hearing screams from the park you wouldn’t know it was an attack,” Mrs Peteolo said.
“There’s always people in there screaming in the middle of the night, we’re so used to hearing screams from the park … I thought gosh, maybe we moved to the wrong area.”
Many of her neighbours said the park was “notorious” for violence.

This is terrible for Australia, but probably even worse for MSNBC, because they can’t find a way to blame it on Republicans.
