Canadian Terrorist Update

Posted on | January 31, 2017 | Comments Off on Canadian Terrorist Update

 

Canada is America’s most dangerous enemy, and not just because of the deranged slut Meghan Murphy. Canada is the Un-America, a country whose national character is warped by a spiteful inferiority complex toward the United States. Oh, “not all Canadians,” some will say, and it’s arguably true that there are a few good Canadians, including Kathy Shaidle and Ezra Levant, but they are the exceptions that prove the rule.

Canada is a lunatic asylum with 35 million inmates, and no one is really surprised when bad things happen in Canada. So when it was reported that there had been an attack on a mosque in Quebec, I was not among those who jumped to the wrong conclusion about this incident. There were reports that the gunman was a Moroccan Muslim, but I just waited for the facts to come out and, yeah, Canadians are dangerous:

The suspect in the deadly attack on a Quebec City mosque was known in the city’s activist circles as an online troll who was inspired by extreme right-wing French nationalists, stood up for U.S. President Donald Trump and was against immigration to Quebec — especially by Muslims.
Alexandre Bissonnette, 27, a student at Laval University, grew up on a quiet crescent in the Cap-Rouge suburb of Quebec City and lived in an apartment a few kilometres away.
His online profile and school friendships revealed little interest in extremist politics until last March, when France’s far-right National Front Leader Marine Le Pen visited Quebec City, inspiring Mr. Bissonnette to vocal extreme online activism, according to people who clashed with him starting around this time.
Vincent Boissoneault, a student in international relations at Laval University, knew Mr. Bissonnette from childhood and was friends with him on Facebook. . . .
“I wrote him off as a xenophobe. I didn’t even think of him as totally racist, but he was enthralled by a borderline racist nationalist movement.
“It never occurred to me he might be violent,” Mr. Boissoneault added, referring to the hard-line anti-immigration sentiment growing in popularity in Europe and elsewhere.
François Deschamps, an employment counsellor who runs a refugee-support Facebook page, said he immediately recognized Mr. Bissonnette’s photo from his frequent appearances online, including on the page he administers.
“He was someone who made frequent extreme comments in social media denigrating refugees and feminism. It wasn’t outright hate, rather part of this new nationalist conservative identity movement that is more intolerant than hateful.”
Both Mr. Boissoneault and Mr. Deschamps recalled Mr. Bissonnette sharing anti-immigration sentiment, especially toward Muslim refugees making their way to Europe from the war-torn Middle East.
Mr. Bissonnette’s Facebook profile was removed from public view just after 11 a.m. Monday along with his comments on other social-media feeds.
In addition to being a student, Mr. Bissonnette worked in a call centre for Quebec’s blood donation agency, Héma-Québec. . . .
Former classmates from the CEGEP junior college he attended after high school described him as a quiet, unassuming guy who blended in. . . .
Mr. Bissonnette studied political science, Mr. Kingma-Lord said, but seemed more interested in the campus chess club than any kind of ideology. . . .
Acquaintances from Mr. Bissonnette’s earlier years at Les Compagnons-de-Cartier high school in Quebec City say he was introverted, socially awkward and frequently bullied.

OK, you’re a 27-year-old introvert who is still in college, a member of the chess club and, also, Canadian. Your existence has no meaning or purpose, and therefore you commit a senseless act of violence that accomplishes nothing except to give that deranged slut Meghan Murphy an excuse to demonize innocent white guys.

 

See how this works? Feminists have two standards: One for them, and one for everybody else. You are never permitted to make general statements about women, but the feminist will always use the worst possible example to demonize men generally, and white males in particular.

Here’s a hint for moody Canadian introverts: Stop giving Meghan Murphy excuses to write about her insane hatred of white males. The rest of us are tired of hearing her incessant anti-white-male screeds. If you’re a “quiet, unassuming . . . socially awkward” loser (as most Canadians are) who has no meaning or purpose in life, just go ahead and kill yourself, rather than commit an atrocity that inspires a Meghan Murphy column. Otherwise, just go to your campus chess club meetings and leave it to Americans to do “extreme comments in social media,” because we’re so much better at it, the same way Americans are better at everything else.

For example, what topic do feminists most enjoy writing about? Rape.

Here is a list of rape suspects whose alleged crimes were recently reported as local news: Timothy Wayne McLean Jr. (Durham, N.C.), Marco Antonio Garcia Perez (Highland, Calif.), Allen Mays (Lincoln Parrish, La.), Arturo Bedolla (Memphis, Tenn.), Toney Moore (Harlan, Ky.), Kamai Clerveaux (Miami, Fla.), Rafael Alfredo Pabon (Cabarrus County, N.C.), Jerome Booze (Decatur, Ga.), Carlos Reyes (Nashville, Tenn.), Anthony Thornton (Port Huron, Mich.), Akeem Anthony Butts (Albany, N.Y.) and Deadrick T. North (Knoxville, Tenn.). Feminists constantly rant about “rape culture,” but have any of those criminal suspects been mentioned in any feminist blogs or columns? No. And do I need to explain why none of these alleged rapes have been mentioned by Meghan Murphy, Amanda Marcotte, Jessica Valenti, et al.? No. You can figure it out.

If you want to annoy feminist, simply focus on facts that contradict feminist ideology — and there are so many facts to choose from!

Alabama woman accused of providing daughter for sex
Authorities say they’ve arrested an Alabama woman accused of repeatedly taking her young daughter to a motel so a man could have sex with the child.
Officials say Amy Floyd Morgan of Blount County is charged with human trafficking and conspiring to commit sexual abuse of a child younger than 12. She was arrested Wednesday.
AL.com reports authorities say Morgan took money for more than a year from 44-year-old Rama Raji Erramraju so he could have sexual contact with Morgan’s young daughter. The man is also charged.

What are the chances that any feminist will mention this crime? Zero. Therefore, start asking feminists why they don’t mention such crimes.

This is the real secret of how to defeat the Left. Stop letting them decide what the subject of discussion will be and, when a big news story breaks, don’t let the Left decide which facts are relevant. I’ve explained before how feminists exploit atrocity narratives by taking advantage of the Law of Large Numbers. There are more than 320 million people in the United States, so it’s easy to find examples of almost anything. People having sex with dogs? Sure — if you want to turn bestiality into a major national issue, there’s plenty of headline news out there. Feminists manufacture their anti-male propaganda by focusing attention on incidents that fit their ideological biases about “white male power . . . supported by capitalism, imperialism, colonialism, patriarchy,” to quote Meghan Murphy. There is a specific narrative that feminists seek to promote, and this always involves a highly selective treatment of facts.

 

Meghan Murphy evidently wants her readers to believe that, because Alexandre Bissonnette is a white male who shot and killed six people in Quebec, therefore all white males should be considered dangerous. Well, this month, more than 50 people in Chicago have been shot to death, and more than 250 other people were wounded by gunfire. The 2016 death toll in Chicago was nearly 800 gunshot fatalities. If the atrocity in Quebec justifies fear and hatred of white males, as Meghan Murphy seems to believe, then couldn’t we examine the demographics of crime in Chicago — who is shooting whom? — and engage in a similar kind of guilt-by-association campaign to promote fear and hatred? We could, but we don’t. Instead, whenever there’s a shooting somewhere that the Left wants to turn into a propaganda narrative, we just mention the routine violence Chicago and ask, “What’s your point?”

 

Yonatan Monrroy-Madrid, 19, was ordered held in lieu of $300,000 bail in a hearing before Cook County Judge Maria Kuriakos Ciesil, according to prosecutors and court records. Monrroy-Madrid is charged in the death of a 57-year-old man who was killed when his car was hit by Monrroy-Madrid’s in the 400 block of North Ashland Avenue on Saturday . . .
The crash also injured a 19-year-old woman and a 23-year-old man who were in the back seat of the 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee that Monrroy-Madrid was driving when he hit the 57-year-old’s 2004 Toyota Camry, according to prosecutors and police. . . .
Saturday afternoon, Monrroy-Madrid was driving at high speeds around the West Side, making quick turns onto various streets and blowing through stop lights and stop signs . . .
The crash threw the woman passenger out of the Jeep and killed the driver of the Camry . . .
Monrroy-Madrid and his passengers were taken to Stroger Hospital, according to police. At the hospital, a blood draw indicated his blood-alcohol level was .24 percent—three times the legal limit of .08, prosecutors said.

See? They don’t even need guns to kill people in Chicago and, call it a hunch, but I doubt Yonatan Monrroy-Madrid voted for Trump.

Never let the liberal rock-throwers forget that they live in glass houses. Do not sit back and play defense against the insulting propaganda claims promoted by people like Meghan Murphy. No, counter-attack — seize the strategic initiative, identify their vulnerabilities, strike suddenly with overwhelming rhetorical force, and keep up the fight until you have completely routed and demoralized your antagonist.

“[T]he men responsible for not only violence against women, but mass shootings, often have a history of misogyny — yet hating women never seems to constitute a red flag until its too late. If we did take men’s racism and misogyny seriously as warning signs of violence, we would, of course, have to ban Trump himself from the country he now presides over.”
— Meghan Murphy, Jan. 30, 2017

Does anyone think an American needs lectures from a Canadian feminist like Meghan Murphy? You’d better think again. Canada is full of dangerous degenerates: Michael Zehaf-Bibeau, the mentally ill Muslim convert killed in a 2014 terrorist attack; lesbian hockey coach Heidi Ferber, who molested a 15-year-old girl; University of Toronto education professor Benjamin Levin, convicted of child pornography; mass murderer Phu Lam, who killed eight people in an Edmonton rampage; “Vision Vancouver” candidate Trish Kelly, who had to quit her campaign because of her masturbation video; and Toronto child pornographer Brian Way, who reportedly made $4 million peddling perversion.

How does an atrocity perpetrated by a Canadian loser like Alexandre Bissonnette, give Meghan Murphy an excuse to demonize America, whereas Americans are not allowed to believe that Muslims flying jetliners into the World Trade Center proved something about Islam?

 

Mohamed Atta didn’t hate America more than Meghan Murphy hates America. Every morning, she wakes up hating America, and when she goes to sleep at night, she dreams anti-American dreams. Meghan Murphy hates all men, but she hates American men most of all, because American men are successful and happy, while Meghan Murphy lives in a miserable failure called “Canada.” They’re not even a real country anyway.

Democrats Face a Political Math Problem and Also, ‘Phallic Imperialism’

Posted on | January 30, 2017 | 2 Comments

 

Writing at The Patriarch Tree:

What is “phallic imperialism,” how does the protester propose to “crush” it, and what would a post-phallic world look like? We have to ask questions like that — what do these words mean in the minds of those who use them? — if we are to develop any treatment for the madness that has seized these kooks.

You can read the whole thing, which makes a point about how feminists and other progressives have isolated themselves from the political mainstream, so that they imagine everyone shares their weird beliefs. (Bonus fact: The phrase “phallic imperialism” was coined by lesbian feminist Sue Katz in a 1971 article in which she denounced heterosexuality as an “institution” of “phallic tyranny.”) What we are witnessing are the effects of “epistemic closure” on the Left, as the Obama era caused progressives to think of themselves as being on “the right side of history.” This triumphant belief in their own moral superiority, in turn, led Democrats to believe that they no longer had to debate the merits of policies, because anyone who opposed them could be dismissed as ignorant and/or evil. This is the kind of echo-chamber cult mentality that led to Nancy Pelosi’s infamous claim on behalf of ObamaCare: “We have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it.”

These are not arguments, these are symptoms of a mental disorder, and Megan McArdle explains the practical effects of this insanity:

Why are the left’s public demonstrations more impressive than its voter turnout? Because there are a whole lot of Democrats in the large population centers where such demonstrations are generally held. People can join a protest simply by getting on the subway; it’s an easy show of force.
But there are a lot of small towns in America, and as Sean Trende and David Byler recently demonstrated, those small towns are redder than ever. Effectively, the Democratic coalition has self-gerrymandered into a small number of places where they can turn out an impressive number of feet on the ground, but not enough votes to win the House. Certainly not enough to win the Senate or the Electoral College, which both favor sparsely populated states and discount the increasingly dense parts of the nation.
The Senate map in 2018 is brutal for Democrats. If Democrats want to get their mojo back, they’re going to need to do more than get a small minority of voters to turn out for a march. They’re going to need to get back some of those rural votes.
To do that, they’re probably going to have to let go of the most soul-satisfying, brain-melting political theory of the last two decades: that Democrats are inevitably the Party of the Future, guaranteed ownership of the future by an emerging Democratic majority in minority-white America. This theory underlay a lot of Obama’s presidency, and Clinton’s campaign. With President Trump’s inauguration [Jan. 20], we saw the results.

Read the whole thing, but it’s not just “rural voters” with whom Democrats have lost touch. Hillary didn’t lose the election because of deep-red rural states like Wyoming and Arkansas, she lost because she was rejected by voters in states like Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. The opinions of working-class white voters in Scranton or Kenosha were not considered relevant by Democrats, because people like that have no influence in the 21st-century Democrat Party. Instead, the people who voted for Hillary have decided that lesbian feminist slogans about “phallic imperialism” represent “an emerging Democrat majority.” A wealthy Hollywood degenerate like Ashton Kutcher calls himself “a citizen of the world” on national TV, as if this is going to influence voters in Montana, North Dakota, Missouri, West Virginia, Indiana, Wisconsin, Ohio, Florida, Michigan and Pennsylvania — all states Trump won last year, and where Democrats will be defending Senate seats in November 2018.

What will happen to the New York/Hollywood elite and their progressive fantasies if Republicans gain a 60-seat majority in the Senate?

Alas, they will be crushed by “phallic imperialism.”

Police Say ‘Furry’ Freaks Raped Boy

Posted on | January 30, 2017 | 2 Comments

Kenneth Fenske (left), David Barker (center) and Jeffrey Harvey (right).

The Philadelphia Inquirer reports:

They were called “furry parties,” according to police, gatherings where adult men would dress up as animals and occasionally fulfill sexual fantasies.
But on several occasions, according to court documents released Sunday, the strange fetish turned sinister when a Bucks County man allegedly took off his fox costume and raped a boy who was brought to the party and dressed as a tiger.
“This is a horrendous case,” Attorney General Josh Shapiro said at a news conference announcing charges against Kenneth Fenske, 57, a Quakertown resident whose “furry name” was allegedly “Lupine.”
What’s more, Shapiro said that Fenske was part of a network of men who participated in the repeated abuse of the victim, now 14. Four others accused of belonging to the perverse group have been charged across Pennsylvania and in Virginia, Shapiro said, and prosecutors fear that there may be additional victims. The known victim is related to one of the men charged, officials said.
“This child victim was repeatedly abused over a seven- or eight-year period by a group of criminals who cared only about their gratification,” Shapiro said. “They cared nothing about this young boy.”
Bucks County District Attorney Matthew Weintraub said: “You think you’ve heard it all on this job, and you never have.”
The boy has been safe since last summer when the first man in the alleged network, Jeffery Harvey, of Luzerne County, was arrested and led investigators to David R. Parker, of Monroe County, another alleged participant in the abuse, according to an affidavit of probable cause. . . .
The boy told an agent with the AG’s Office that Parker in 2009 took him a few times to Fenske’s house, in the 2700 block of North Old Bethlehem Pike. The boy said he played an Xbox game at the house, and that at times, Fenske would dress up in a furry red fox costume with “full long sleeves and pants, a zipper in the back, paw gloves, and a fox head with pointy ears.”
The boy said he was the only child present at the parties, and that he would “hang out dressed as Tony the Tiger.”
On three or four occasions, according to the affidavit, Fenske took the boy upstairs, where they both undressed and Fenske raped him. The boy said Parker would walk upstairs after the abuse and talk with Fenske, and the boy said he told Parker about it. . . .
Prosecutors arrested Harvey on June 28, after an agent lured him to what he thought was a meeting with a 13-year-old for sex. Harvey then told agents about Parker, who was arrested the next day, the affidavit says.
Two other alleged members of the criminal ring, Craig Knox and Stephen Taylor, were arrested in the fall in Virginia, prosecutors said. Knox is accused in court papers of abusing the boy in 2009 or 2010 at Parker’s encouragement. The court papers also say that Knox — who had a rottweiler costume and nine rottweiler dogs at his Henrico, Va., home — admitted having a years-long sexual attraction to young boys and dogs.

This is the trend that Matt Barber has called “Sexual Anarchy.” Encourage people to believe there is no such thing as right and wrong when it comes to sexual behavior, and very bad things inevitably happen.

If men want to “dress up as animals and occasionally fulfill sexual fantasies,” some people would say, there’s nothing wrong with that. This is the “emerging awareness” doctrine invoked by Justice Kennedy’s opinion in Lawrence v. Texas. However, shouldn’t we suspect — as a matter of common sense — that people who are into weird sexual fantasies might be a danger to others, including children?

Craig Knox (left) and Stephen Taylor (right).

Consider the story about the arrest of Knox and Taylor in November:

Craig Knox, 35, was living in the 2900 block of Kenwood Avenue when police executed a search warrant this week for child pornography and crimes against nature.
His roommate Stephen M. Taylor was also arrested and faces charges of bestiality and animal abuse in Henrico.
The Pennsylvania Attorney General’s Office says Knox, 35, was arraigned on the charges stemming from the alleged assaults that occurred in 2010 in Luzerne County. Prosecutors says Knox raped a 9-year-old boy after another man, David Parker, brought the child to Knox’s Pennsylvania home. The reports says both men sexually abused the child. . . .
A few days later, Henrico police arrested Taylor. According to a warrant, Taylor and Knox talked about having sexual contact with dogs. It says devices showed Taylor sexually abusing a dog and one of the eight Rottweilers at the home had serious injuries. Court documents say the alleged abuse by Taylor started three years ago.

Remember that anti-Trump protest leader Luke Kuhn admitted posting to a “Boychat” group in defense of pedophilia and child pornography. There are dangerous maniacs in the world:

“I stabbed an innocent woman to death earlier today . . .
It was absolutely fantastic. Murder gives me a high
unlike any other. . . . For now, I should explain why.
Other than the fact that I’m a homicidal psychopath.
I have a deep hatred towards people right now.”

Our civilization is teetering on the brink of the abyss. Meanwhile, celebrities are throwing tantrums about mere politics.

Rule 5 Sunday: Making Anime Great Again

Posted on | January 29, 2017 | 3 Comments

— compiled by Wombat-socho

It’s been an interesting first week since the Inauguration, and for those of us that enjoy the autistic screeching and tears of the Left, it’s been a GREAT week. Shia LaBoeuf arrested for assault, anarchist rioters getting beaten down by police as the crowd cheers IN PORTLAND, others looking at serious jail time thanks to a law Obama passed…yes, a great week indeed. Some of you may remember that in the early stages of the campaign, sometime consultant Rick Wilson derided Trump supporters as “a bunch of basement dwellers [pleasuring themselves] to anime.” The Deplorables weren’t slow to weaponize that mockery and throw it back into Wilson’s face, flooding the Internet with images of cute anime girls sporting Trump hats. The rest, as they say, is history…

Has Everybody Gone Insane?

Posted on | January 29, 2017 | Comments Off on Has Everybody Gone Insane?

Don’t piss off the Jews by issuing a statement on the Holocaust that doesn’t mention Jews. I don’t think this needs any explanation, as it seems obvious to me that (a) when you’re a Republican and (b) the Left is comparing you to Hitler, then (c) you probably shouldn’t offend John Podhoretz. Also, when you’re cracking down on Islamic terrorism, obviously this is something you can expect conservative Jews to support, and this support is very crucial from a standpoint of political strategy, so offending John Podhoretz is doubly foolish at this point. Enough said.

Meanwhile, David French is defending Trump’s policy:

To read the online commentary, one would think that President Trump just fundamentally corrupted the American character. You would think that the executive order on refugees he signed yesterday betrayed America’s Founding ideals. You might even think he banned people from an entire faith from American shores. . . .
CNN, doing its best Huffington Post impersonation, ran a headline declaring “Trump bans 134,000,000 from the U.S.” The Huffington Post, outdoing itself, just put the Statue of Liberty upside down on its front page.
So, what did Trump do? Did he implement his promised Muslim ban? No, far from it. He backed down dramatically from his campaign promises and instead signed an executive order dominated mainly by moderate refugee restrictions and temporary provisions aimed directly at limiting immigration from jihadist conflict zones. . . .
First, the order temporarily halts refugee admissions for 120 days to improve the vetting process, then caps refugee admissions at 50,000 per year. Outrageous, right? Not so fast. Before 2016, when Obama dramatically ramped up refugee admissions, Trump’s 50,000 stands roughly in between a typical year of refugee admissions in George W. Bush’s two terms and a typical year in Obama’s two terms.

Read the whole thing. At one point, French was mentioned as a possible third-party candidate by the GOP “Never Trump” crowd, so he can scarcely be called a sockpuppet for the Trump administration, but the liberal media accounts have distorted what Trump actually did, and the reaction has been as crazy as . . . Well, I leave it to you, Captain Kirk.

The Problem of ‘Racist Facts’

Posted on | January 29, 2017 | 1 Comment

More than a decade ago, the first time some left-wing scumbag tagged me with the “white supremacist” label, I was both insulted and amused. The obvious question — which no liberal ever seems to ask — is this: “What does ‘white supremacist’ mean?” Historically, this term is associated with those who defended Jim Crow segregation in the 1950s and ’60s, and so the term is obsolete as a matter of political science. Anyone who supposes, at this late date, that America could feasibly reinstate segregation or any similar regime is a deluded fool. Even more deluded are Neo-Nazis, who believe they can stage a putsch and institute a 21st-century racial totalitarianism. Neo-Nazis are auto-marginalizing, for the simple and obvious reason that the American people overwhelmingly agree with Jake in The Blues Brothers: “I hate Illinois Nazis.”

 

My Dad was wounded within an inch of his life fighting Nazis in World War II, and irresponsible smear merchants (hello, Max Blumenthal) who thought they could get away with impugning my character in this fashion have been repeatedly exposed as frauds and liars. Friends who actually know me (as the fun-loving, gregarious human being I am) were stunned when, in 2009, a certain despicable lizard tried to recycle those smears, after he previously tried to defame Pamela Geller as a crypto-fascist.

Another problem with the phrase “white supremacist,” beyond its use by the Left as a crude pejorative slur, is that insofar as it has any meaning in the 21st century, it can only describe an adherent of a theory. One must ignore a lot of historical facts in order to embrace such a theory, and thus I am not a “white supremacist” for the same basic reason I reject feminism, another ideology based on counter-factual theory. We must live in the world as it actually is, rather than attempting to “reform” the world according to some intellectual theory of how the world should be, and this rejection of ideological schemes is equally applicable to Marxism, feminism, “white supremacy” or Keynesian economics. Think of all of the wicked mischief Americans have endured the past 15 or 20 years because of George Soros and his warped interpretation of Karl Popper’s “open society” theory. Popper is not to blame for Soros any more than pickup artists (PUAs) are to blame for Elliot Rodger, but the fact is that Soros is a fanatic devoted to an ideological theory, and it is this error — a preference for theory over facts — which makes Soros such a menace.

As I’ve stated before, in politics I am a conservative, in economics I am an Austrian, and in religion I am a Calvinist. All of these are reputable schools of thought, with many able defenders, which spares me the labor of always having to explain myself. Being an adherent of certain fundamental principles also prevents me from being tossed around like a feather on the wind by every controversy that comes along. My basic modus operandi, based on a simple logic, is to figure out what side of the issue the Left is on, and get on the other side. You can seldom go wrong in politics by betting against the prevailing beliefs of the New York Times.

All of that is preamble to something Steve Sailer linked at his blog Friday, a research paper by Florida State University psychology graduate student Bo Winegard and two of his associates, entitled “Human Biological and Psychological Diversity.” Winegard and his colleagues could be fairly described as disciples of E.O. Wilson’s Sociobiology thesis, members of a school of thought known as evolutionary psychology. A professor of biology at Harvard University, Wilson applied Darwinian theory rigorously to the problem of human social behavior, and his 1975 book was highly influential. Unfortunately, the arbiters of political correctness in academia (who have long embraced Darwinism as a justification of atheism) were willing to ignore even this eminent scientist’s work because it did not wholly confirm their own left-wing biases.

Darwin is only useful to the Left insofar as evolution can be used by degenerates as a weapon to attack Christian morality, but when Darwinian theory is made the basis of arguments the Left doesn’t like, we find reputable researchers condemned as crypto-Nazis merely for going wherever the facts about human nature may lead them. We may suppose that Winegard, et al., know the risks involved in their argument:

Many evolutionary psychologists have asserted that there is a panhuman nature, a species typical psychological structure that is invariant across human populations. Although many social scientists dispute the basic assumptions of evolutionary psychology, they seem widely to agree with this hypothesis. Psychological differences among human populations (demes, ethnic groups, races) are almost always attributed to cultural and sociological forces in the relevant literatures. However, there are strong reasons to suspect that the hypothesis of a panhuman nature is incorrect. . . . It is likely that humans also evolved slightly different psychological traits as a response to different selection pressures in different environments and niches. One possible example is the high intelligence of the Ashkenazi Jewish people. Frank discussions of such differences among human groups have provoked strong ethical concerns in the past. We understand those ethical concerns and believe that it is important to address them. However, we also believe that the benefits of discussing possible human population differences outweigh the costs.

You can read the whole thing in PDF format. Because I am neither much interested in theory nor qualified to discuss this paper in terms of science, I will not attempt to summarize the arguments made by Winegard and his colleagues. Being a father of six children, however, I can testify to my own observation that certain psychological traits tend to be passed along from parents to their children, and I think any parent who pays attention would agree that the acorn seldom falls far from the tree. Of course, every child has two parents, and one obvious way we can affect the traits of our offspring is by seeking mates who exhibit traits we find desirable.

 

My wife sometimes gets angry when I say that it was her excellent character and temperament which appealed to me as much as her high cheekbones and beautiful smile, but when a man chooses a wife — “Me Tarzan, you Jane” — he certainly ought to be conscious of such matters. What kind of mother will she be? How will her hereditary traits combine with his traits to create a the hybrid offspring of the next generation? Just yesterday my 18-year-old son remarked about the circumstantial fluke by which his mother and I met, a seemingly random coincidence to which he owes his own existence. As a Calvinist, of course, I don’t believe in coincidences, and so our children must consider themselves indebted to the grace of God for their lives, and also for their parents.

We have heard a lot recently about Planned Parenthood, but there is a popular saying among evangelical Christians, “If you want to hear God laugh, tell him your plans.” Man proposes and God disposes. What some people call luck or fate, the Christian must accept as divine will.

Poll: How do Americans feel about
Obamacare and Planned Parenthood?

Is the question how Americans do feel, or how they should feel? We know that the Democrat Party and the liberal media (but I repeat myself) want people to approve of abortion and socialized medicine, but what would people think about these topics if it were not for the media’s constant partisan cheerleading for the atheistic Culture of Death?
