Bareback Butt Sex Increases 20%

Posted on | November 29, 2013 | 62 Comments

Donald Douglas calls our attention to this startling news:

Federal health officials are reporting a sharp increase in unprotected sex among gay American men, a development that makes it harder to fight the AIDS epidemic. . . .
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the number of men who told federal health investigators that they had had unprotected anal sex in the last year rose nearly 20 percent from 2005 to 2011. In the 2011 survey, unprotected sex was more than twice as common among men who said they did not know whether they were infected with H.I.V. . . .
The findings are worrying because “unprotected anal intercourse is in a league of its own as far as risk is concerned,” Dr. Thomas R. Frieden, director of the disease centers, said on Wednesday as the figures were released. . . .

Read the rest at the New York Times.

You see, this was a fundamental objective of ObamaCare. During the AIDS epidemic of the 1980s, infected people simply died by the thousands. During the 1990s, however, treatments were developed that made long-term survival possible — but quite expensive — for the HIV-positive. This is why it was absolutely imperative that the Democrats (beholden to the gay lobby) forbid insurance companies to deny coverage for “pre-existing conditions.” Thus, people who are at zero risk for AIDS are forced, through higher insurance rates, to foot the bill for preventable diseases spread by irresponsible behavior.

Nobody wants to admit this, however, because facts are now “hate.”

Perhaps It’s Time to Ask Again, ‘What Does a Social Disaster Sound Like?’

Posted on | November 29, 2013 | 40 Comments

The infamous ‘Group of 88’ ad in the Duke Chronicle, April 6, 2006.

Michael W. Chapman at CNS News:

When Crystal Mangum falsely accused several Duke lacrosse players of rape in 2006, there were 160 major television news stories in the first five days after the players were arrested, but in 2013, when Mangum was convicted of murder and sentenced to 14 years in prison, there were only 3 major television news stories, a difference in coverage of 5,233%.

The bottom line of the Duke lacrosse rape hoax was that two strippers had an argument with some college boys. A dishonest district attorney, who was up for re-election, turned the false accusations into a witch hunt, enthusiastically assisted by Duke faculty and the media.

The district attorney, Mike Nifong, was subsequently disbarred, but the Duke University faculty are still teaching and, of course, the reporters, editors and commentators who got the story completely wrong have never been held accountable. When the false accuser Crystal Mangum was convicted of murder last week, Instapundit’s comment was, “THE GROUP OF 88 WERE UNAVAILABLE FOR COMMENT.”

Indeed. But the signatories of the “Social Disaster” ad — including such academic humbugs as Wahneema Lubiano and Karla Holloway — continue miseducating students at Duke University, a prestigious private school where the annual tuition is $45,620. The errors of professors Lubiano, Holloway, et al., were not random or accidental, but rather were the product of an Ideology of Error, the cluster of leftist doctrines lumped together under the category of critical theory, otherwise known as Cultural Marxism or political correctness.

Who can forget how Amanda Marcotte covered herself in shame?

“I’ve been sort of casually listening to CNN
blaring throughout the waiting area and
good f–king god is that channel pure evil.
For awhile, I had to listen to how the
poor dear lacrosse players at Duke are being
persecuted just because they held someone down
and f–ked her against her will — not rape,
of course, because the charges have been
thrown out. Can’t a few white boys
sexually assault a black woman anymore without
people getting all wound up about it? So unfair.”

But this false accusation — the Duke players did not have sex with the strippers, much less hold them down and f–k them against their will — is not enough to discredit Amanda Marcotte in the eyes of those who share her worldview. This is how the Ideology of Error operates: As long as one speaks, writes and behaves in accordance with the ideology, any resulting errors are written off as if they never happened.

Amanda Marcotte can be absurdly wrong and crudely offensive and yet still be endlessly applauded by her fellow leftists. This hate-filled lying fanatic is a valued contributor at Slate and a welcome guest at MSNBC not despite her fanaticism, but because of her fanaticism.

Only in this context can we understand how Crystal Mangum’s false rape accusation in 2006 could get five thousand percent more coverage than her recent murder conviction. Do not expect a Duke faculty committee to call for a “national conversation” about such bias, because the news media are deliberately misinforming the public in exactly the same way that the Duke faculty are miseducating their students.

This is the “social disaster” that the liberal elite are unwilling to address, because it is a “social disaster” they have purposefully caused.

The Nadir of Hackery

Posted on | November 29, 2013 | 33 Comments

Fail, failure, failing — anyone who has paid attention to the ObamaCare rollout knows that it has more that justified the criticism of its opponents. The president’s signature legislation is a policy disaster for the nation and a political liability for Democrats. Any attempt to ignore that objective truth is simply dishonest. And speaking of “simply dishonest,” Josh Marshall of Talking Points Memo:

For years, Obamacare supporters weathered at best tepid support for the President’s reform in the expectation that once people experienced the actual law, rather than the right-wing fever dream, opinions would change. Then they were hit with the wholly unexpected surprise of a botched website roll out that set the whole public opinion war back on its heels and then a wave of cancellations that were reported in a misleading way (and only affected a tiny portion of the population) but nevertheless further soured public opinion.
But for all that, here’s why I think the generally cataclysmic press is overblown and why the law will be a success. . . .

He goes on from there, but you get the general idea — Josh Marshall begins his argument with the conclusion and then, ignoring all contradictory evidence, scrounges up whatever excuses and rationalizations can be made to serve his conclusion. Whatever else he may be, Josh Marshall is a partisan Democrat, and his is a partisan argument. Anyone who doubts him is pre-emptively accused of buying into “misleading” reporting and “the right-wing fever dream.”

Josh Marshall is as objective about ObamaCare as a Baptist evangelist is objective about Jesus. Yet in this tent revival, Josh Marshall preaches only to the faithful, and offers this as his altar call:

We didn’t pass Health Care Reform for it to reap electoral gains for Democrats (though I think it still will) or to have it be popular, per se (though I suspect it will be). The aim was to get people covered, make the health care provision system more efficient and reduce the scale of human suffering, especially the spectrum of suffering tied to your wealth and your luck.
By that standard, I think it will be a success and I think there will be no going back. And that’s the only standard that matters.

If you don’t accept the eternal salvation of ObamaCare, Preacher Josh is saying, it’s because you don’t want to “reduce the scale of human suffering.” You are morally inferior, a sinner.

What was that he said about a “fever dream”?

‘Forget About Repealing #ObamaCare. Repeal Obama’

Posted on | November 29, 2013 | 31 Comments

by Smitty

Emphasis original:

Below is a note from Bill to C. Steven Tucker. Bill is the man stricken with cancer who Tucker helped out after seeing Bill on Megyn Kelly’s show talk about how ACA mandates caused him to lose his coverage in the middle of cancer treatments.

“Steve, the company decided to keep me active. Since it is a chronic illness. Until this illness kills me. Battle #1 is won. Now the hard part. You literally saved me. Thank you so much.”
Those are the greatest words I have ever heard in my 20 year career as a licensed health insurance broker. I couldn’t be a happier man today! – C. Steven Tucker

That’s the good news. Now the bad-

Bill is now being audited by the IRS.

And now for the 2nd punch line-

C. Steven is being audited back to 2003.

THAT’S what happens when you do the right thing, and in the process embarrass that bastard in the white house.

Forget about repealing Obamacare. Repeal Obama.

My concern is that repealing Obama isn’t enough, either. #OccupyResoluteDesk has taken every wrong thing about our lest century of Progressive collapse and turned it up to 11. This IRS thuggery is precisely the sort of heavy-handedness this country was founded to preclude, not enable.

As Politico was noting the other day, “Tea party unscathed in early GOP civil war“. I hope that proves true. The GOP needs to reclaim Congress in 11 months, but with the understanding that the last century is indeed over. It’s time for reform. Time for an honest appraisal of just how jacked up this experiment in self-government has become, and how many dozen bureaucracies need to go under the bus to restore it.

Ideas like the Fenwick-Sugden Plan–let’s give it a catchier name, say, Single Patient–need to be fleshed out an implemented.

The IRS as we know it needs to go, and take the DOE, EPA, and large swaths of the DOJ with it.

If we don’t do this in 2014, folks, it’s not unlikely that we can kiss our country goodbye.

Happy #FreeKate Thanksgiving: Lesbian Cheerleader Spends Holiday in Jail

Posted on | November 28, 2013 | 122 Comments

Of the many strange stories I’ve covered in my 27-year career, none of them — not even the 2012 Iowa GOP caucus campaign — was quite as bizarre as the Kaitlyn Hunt story, which originally struck me as sort of a joke: “You deviant weirdos thought Jailbait Lesbian School Girls was just a popular DVD title, but now it’s a civil right.”

What I failed to anticipate six months ago was that the fanatics who supported the “Free Kate” campaign were so devoted to the cause of legalizing gay sex with 14-year-olds that nothing could stop them. At first, I thought these people were just naive liberals who had been misled by the false propaganda depicting Kaitly Hunt as an innocent victim of homophobia and claiming she was barely two years older than the freshman girl with whom she had been involved.

Alas, I misunderstood. Despite weeks of devastating revelations about the twisted freak at the center of this story, the unwavering devotion to “Saint Kate of the Blessed Finger” not only continued, but became increasingly manic. By the time Kaitlyn Hunt was finally sentenced to jail in October, I realized that her hard-core supporters are a deranged bunch of perverts, wackos and criminal deviants.

In other words, Democrats.

Indian River County Jail inmate Kaitlyn Hunt

Some folks think it’s perfectly OK for underage girls to spend the night having sex with a tattoo-covered dildo-wielding lesbian.

And some folks voted for Obama twice.

The world has gone crazy, and so I found myself covering a story that seemed like it should have begun, “Dear Penthouse Forum . . .”

“Free Kate” fanatics have continued attacking Jeanette Runyon, who obtained the documents which should finally convince any sane person that Kaitlyn Hunt is a seriously disturbed young woman:

Florida sex offender Kaitlyn Hunt, jailed for having sex with a 14-year-old girl, would not let the younger girl break up with her and threatened to expose the high school freshman’s lesbian activity, according to documents obtained from the Indian River County Sheriff’s Office. In a January text-message conversation with Hunt’s mother, the younger girl said: “I don’t wanna just say leave me alone Kaitlyn because last time that didn’t end well for me. … I had to beg myself outta that situation. … She just threatened to put all the stuff we had out.”
That was confirmed by a Sheriff’s Office detective’s interview with one of the girl’s basketball teammates. Kiandrea Pound, who was captain of the Sebastian River High School basketball team, said the younger girl “told her she attempted at one point to break it off with Kaitlyn,” Detective Jeremy Shepherd wrote. “However, Kaitlyn would not let her. Kaitlyn threatened to tell people about her sexual orientation.” . . .

Please read the whole thing, which is more than 2,000 words long, because it’s important to remember how this story developed.

Be sure to follow Jeanette Runyon on Twitter, and if you can, please go hit the tip jar at Matt Ross’s Conservative Hideout blog.

Y’all have a Happy Thanksgiving. I’ll be eating turkey with my family. We’re so normal, we’re almost boring — thank God!

Hispanic Transgender Student Kicked Out After Faking College Hate Incident

Posted on | November 27, 2013 | 87 Comments

How predictable was this?

On Nov. 14, [Vassar College] sent a mass email to students advising them that Bias Incident Response Team (BIRT) had received at least six reports in the last few months of hateful and insensitive messages being scrawled and spray painted on student residences. Messages included “Avoid Being Bitches,” “Fuck Niggers,” and most prominently, “Hey Tranny. Know Your Place.”
“This is unacceptable and members of our community should be able to learn and work in environments that are free of hurtful expressions and behaviors,” wrote Edward Pittman, BIRT coordinator and dean of the College for Campus Life and Diversity, in an email to students. . . .
The task force had one student member: Genesis Hernandez, who is transgendered and was also a vice president of the Vassar Student Association (VSA), the student government.
Five days after the email was sent, Vassar President Catharine Hill sent a follow-up email announcing that the bias incidents were hoaxes perpetrated by two students. . . .
[The Daily Caller] has learned that one of the perpetrators was none other than Genesis Hernandez.
Informed sources within Vassar told The DC that administrators pinpointed Hernandez as a responsible party, forcing him to give up his position in student government and leave the college.

This is one of the best campus hate-hoaxes since feminist Meg Lanker threatened to “hate-f**k” herself.

Sex and Fear on Campus

Posted on | November 27, 2013 | 45 Comments

Roxeanne Jones is female media executive who also happens to be the mother of a college-age son:

It seems nearly every week, we hear news stories about sexual encounters at parties where everyone is drinking — and a young woman says she was raped, and a young man insists the encounter was consensual.
Make no mistake, no woman — no matter how much she parties — is asking to be raped. But too often when heavy drinking is involved, the meaning of consent can be misconstrued on both sides.

And she does not want her son to be accused:

Never have sex with a girl unless she’s sent you a text that proves the sexual relationship is consensual beforehand. And it’s a good idea to even follow up any sexual encounter with a tasteful text message saying how you both enjoyed being with one another — even if you never plan on hooking up again.
Crazy, I know, but I’ve actually been encouraging my son and his friends to use sexting — minus the lewd photos — to protect themselves from being wrongly accused of rape. Because just as damning text messages and Facebook posts helped convict the high-schoolers in Steubenville of rape, technology can also be used to prove innocence.

As crazy as that advice sounds, the reaction from feminist Melissa McEwan is even crazier — but we expect craziness from her. You may remember McEwan as the John Edwards blogger of “godbag christofascist” infamy. The toxic environment of 21st-century relationships is such, and the world is so full of crazies, that the only really “safe” advice for young people is to avoid sex altogether.
