LIVE AT FIVEEIGHT: 07.31.13

Life: begins when the information that defines you is available: conception. You own your own greatness, or not. You don’t own the non-greatness of others.
Gender: is defined by chromosomes. Become the best male or female you can: body, mind, and soul.
Marriage: has its premise in the production of life. Understood, other variations. But what difference, at some point centuries hence, do they make?
Freewill: if you’re arguing it doesn’t exist, then why’re you even reading this?
Unscalability: people don’t scale. The larger the group you consider, the less powerful assertions you can make about them, without stooping to the crudest stereotypes. There is an inverse square law afoot: the family is strongest, followed by the clan, followed by professions, citizenship, etc. This is why if you want to move a large number of people in an organized way, you have to thrash their individuality and put them in a uniform. This is why the one-size-fits-all theories of Progress are dying. To the extent it can be said to work empirically, the one-size-fits-all of Jesus Christ is the best you’ve got, and even Christians don’t agree on what that means.

Political:

Conservativism: is based upon the Lockean notion of the individual.
Progressivism: has roots in a strange intellectual love affair between Rousseau and Marx. Whatever misguided idealism informed the original Progressives, it’s all a steaming loaf of debt and ersatz aristocracy now, Republican and Democrat.
Republicans: born to end slavery, the elite of the GOP is fungible with the Democrats, perpetuating debt slavery.
Federal Reserve: the power to inflate the currency urinates all over the spirit of the Constitution, granting too much power to un-elected knobs. The lack of will from either branch of the Ruling Class even to audit, much less reform this beast is telling.
ObamaCare: is the legislative/economic equivalent of the Doomsday Machine from Star Trek. In true Progressive fashion, it accomplishes the opposite of its title. This is a time, to quote Iron Maiden, to “Die With Your Boots On.” Can this bureaucratic D&D Black Pudding be stopped? Hopefully; my metaphorical blender just ‘sploded.

Historical:

Slavery: sucked. It had a variety of social and economic causes, including false notions of inferiority based upon extrinsic characteristics. However, the guilt for slavery is owned by those who actually held slaves, just as the guilt for Jim Crow is owned by its perpetuators in the modern Racism Idustrial Complex. I forgive those who try to pin such guilt on me, in the hope that, if forgiveness spreads, growth can occur.
Foreign Policy: if you think about it, our Constitution is defensive in nature: some powers were delegated by the States to a Federal government for mutual protection. Progress has begotten the Team America World Police concept since Bretton Woods. That it ran for 50 years needs to be seen as about as good as it gets. What follows is totally unclear.

So, there you have it. These are my positions, arrived at slowly, and not given to much adjustment. I’m not accepting blame, nor do I think I’ve blamed anyone in particular. I don’t even blame Obama for ObamaCare. Our situation sucks, and it sucked Cthulhu right out of R’lyeh. If Barack had stayed a stoned Hawaiian, tearing tickets at Jack Johnson concerts or whatever, they’d’ve polished another tool for his role. So don’t over-credit the putz. Our decadent point in American history has plenty of sad little Commies who could’ve done the job. Our task is to realize the dream of the Founders, with an informed, educated electorate.

Given a Hypothetical Choice Between Monica Lewinsky and Sydney Leathers?

Posted on | July 30, 2013 | 87 Comments

Monica was hot by comparison. Seriously? http://t.co/J9iWkbXepF Really, seriously?

— ConservativeLA (@ConservativeLA) July 30, 2013

@ConservativeLA @AmPowerBlog Yes, Monica Lewinsky WAS more attractive than Sydney Leathers. There, I've said it. #MoreToLove

— Robert Stacy McCain (@rsmccain) July 30, 2013

De gustibus non est disputandum, of course, but any man who would prefer tattooed Sydney to the alabaster-complexioned Monica . . .

Maybe it takes a Southern good ol’ boy to understand why Bill Clinton liked more cushion for the pushin’, as fellows say down home.

Not that Sydney Leathers is particularly thin, but when it comes to the question of which gal looks like she’d appreciate a dinner date at Cracker Barrel — country fried steak and gravy, turnip greens, pinto beans, hashbrown casserole, biscuits and cornbread — I don’t think there can be any question: Monica is the plus-size winner.

What a lovely girl! Her green eyes are beautiful, her dark hair is beautiful and her mouth . . . Well, of course, I’m a happily married man, but this is strictly a hypothetical scenario, remember?

That’s why I was so strongly in favor of President Clinton’s impeachment. He was under oath when he was asked about Monica and, if he had any regard for truth, Bill would have had no choice but to answer: “Oh, hell, yes. I did that gal every day of the week and twice on Sunday. Honestly, I just couldn’t help myself. That chubby young gal flashing her thong panties at me? Like the song said, I took one look and I was fractured. Tried to walk and I was lame.”

Maybe some men honestly find Monica Lewinsky unattractive. Who am I to judge? Now let us recite the Good Ol’ Boys Prayer: Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from horny fat girls . . .

Bradley Manning Verdict: GUILTY! GUILTY! GUILTY! GUILTY! GUILTY! …

Posted on | July 30, 2013 | 51 Comments

Exactly how many counts this unspeakable disgrace to the uniform of the U.S. Army was convicted of today, it’s hard to tell from the Politico story, but Allahpundit says it’s at least 15 counts, enough to put Bradley Manning — I pause to spit on the ground in disgust at the mention of his name — in federal prison for a long, long time.

This dishonorable piece of filth should have been shot or hanged already. We can expect one of his fellow inmates to stick a shiv through Manning’s neck, gouge his eyes out and mutilate his corpse. Then we will petition the White House to seek a full pardon for that inmate.

Personally, I’d want to pin a medal on any convict who kills Manning.

Well, She Is a Democrat, After All

Posted on | July 30, 2013 | 96 Comments

The first thing I learned about Sydney Leathers — back in those prim and proper days of a week ago, when it was considered shocking to name her, as she was presumed to be the helpless young victim of Anthony Weiner’s perverted predation — was that she had worked as a field coordinator for President Obama’s re-election campaign.

Once I knew that, I thought, “Oh, give me a break.”

Readers may forget that, two months after I first arrived in D.C., the Monica Lewinsky scandal erupted and, as the new guy on the national desk, I received a journalistic baptism by fire during the mad scramble of the Washington press corps that a major sex scandal produces. And watching the way the media reacted to Bill Clinton’s embarrassment (collectively donning Nina Burleigh’s “presidential knee pads,” as it were), I concluded that all liberal women are sluts.

Except the lesbians, maybe. Probably some of the more monogamous of those are closet Republicans, with secret urges of decency they hide from their more “progressive” LGBT friends.

Anyway, I woke this morning and saw Donald Douglas’s headline, “Weiner Sexting Partner Sydney Leathers Boasts of Milking ‘Sugar Daddies’ for Thousands,” and thought: “Of course she did.”

Sydney Leathers is a tattooed harlot who hired herself out to old creeps. What other kind of 22-year-old could (a) work for the Obama campaign, and (b) think she was in love with Anthony Weiner? And yet we are supposed to pretend to be surprised by this, when Sydney Leathers was only doing what all liberals girls do, and Anthony Weiner was only doing what all Democrats do, i.e., cheating and lying:

‘So Anthony Weiner and I talked all day and every day for months,’ she wrote.
‘And someone found out somehow and tried to blackmail me with it. I’m like…terrified this will come out since he’s running for mayor.’

Could I say more? I could, and will. But for now, I recommend again my American Spectator column, “The Pervert Party.”

UPDATE: Your daughter might be a liberal if . . .

#WarOnWoman Does Anybody Care That Tetyana Kimberlin Fears for Her Life?

Posted on | July 29, 2013 | 89 Comments

.@FBI arrest 150 people in child sex charges? http://t.co/9qL4GP1cew Could you make it 151? http://t.co/hCtB0bwgRq

— Robert Stacy McCain (@rsmccain) July 29, 2013

“Brett Kimberlin is a terrorist. While I firmly believe in the doctrine of redemption and conversion, I remember a few things about Brett that give me great pause.
“First, he was convicted of perjury — in federal court — before he got out of high school. Think about that for a moment.
“Second, he was not convicted of smoking a couple of joints when he was in high school. He was a major drug dealer who officials believe got into terrorism to throw officials off the trail of a murder.”
— Joe Gelarden, Jan. 9, 2007

Brett Kimberlin is a habitual liar, and there is a reason he has never admitted guilt for his “Speedway Bomber” crimes: If he ever told the truth about what he did, he would have to tell the truth about why he did it. This is why I have repeatedly called attention to Joe Gelarden’s 1981 article in the Indianapolis Star, “Kimberlin case a maze of murder, deceit,” which explains this twisted tale: This explains the motive, the horrible truth Brett Kimberlin was willing to kill to keep secret. (See also, “When ‘Jessica’ Was 10, 11, 12.”)

Kimberlin’s dishonesty pervades his entire existence. In fact, the “Speedway Bomber” might have gotten away with his crimes if he hadn’t been caught committing another crime of deception: Attempting to obtain forged federal identiification documents. “The owner of a Westside [Indianapolis] print shop called investigators from the U.S. Army to report a customer asking him to reproduce military drivers licenses and other government materials,” as the Indianapolis Star reported. When authorities arrested Kimberlin (who was wearing a phony U.S. Department of Defense security guard uniform) on Sept. 20, 1978, the FBI searched his’s car and found bomb-making materials that matched those used in the eight bombs that had terrorized the community of Speedway during the weeklong bombing spree.

So, perjury and forgery are two crimes in Brett Kimberlin’s arsenal of dishonesty. Thus, it was interesting that, as soon as Tetanya Kimberlin filed Maryland sex-offense charges against her estranged husband — saying she was 15 when Kimberlin had sex with her in 1996 — a certain pro-Kimberlin troll account immediately published a Ukrainian travel document falsely stating Tetanya’s birthdate as 1978.

John Hoge points out that Kimberllin himself had given his wife’s actual date of birth (November 1980, rather than November 1978) when he recently filed for a peace order against her. Hoge adds:

We are dealing with someone who was convicted of perjury and trying to falsify government documents.

Hoge doesn’t say so, but the obvious inference is that Kimberlin forged documents to conceal his wife’s true age — to show her as 18 rather than 16 — so that he could marry her in Maryland without parental permission. Once you get one fake ID document (e.g., a birth certificate), you can then use that to obtain others, and so it is impossible to know what falsified identification was used to obtain that travel document in June 1997, when Tetyana was still only 16.

Now that she has filed sex-offense charges against Kimberlin, has moved out and is trying to divorce him — there will be a hearing tomorrow in Rockville on her petition against Kimberlin — Tetyana now fears for her life, for obvious reasons. The feminists and progressive activists and liberal journalists who have never told the truth about who Brett Kimberlin is (and I’m looking at you, Monica Hesse of the Washington Post) are deeply implicated in Tetyana Kimberlin’s plight, but of course they won’t lift a finger or say a word to help her now. But I told Tetyana today after her hearing in Rockville, “Know this: People will be praying for you — God will send ten thousand angels to guard you.”

Please, people: Don’t let evil triumph. Too much is at stake.
