A New Candidate For Scott Walker's Office Staff Is Free

Remember when the sign said "I Am A Man"? It had to be revised for "colorblind" whites 

It's so predictable, I'm shocked I didn't predict it: 

 “A Boston police officer was suspended with pay after it was revealed that he was the man behind an offensive Facebook page that targeted a wide variety of minority groups and disadvantaged social classes.” 

But there's no problem out there with law enforcement - or racism - that anyone white has to be concerned about: 

These guys are only out for everyone else - innocent or not,...

 

Watch Us Have A Good Time - On The Black's Dime - It's The Greatest Country On Earth & Losing All Credibility!!!

Not only do they hide the truth from blacks (We built this place?) but, when we look up, they're rubbing our nose in it:

 "Colonel Thomas Handasyd Perkins was a wealthy Boston merchant,...In 1832, our school was renamed Perkins School for the Blind based on his incredible generosity. But he had played the polar opposite role in the history of slavery.

...He and his brother were “commission merchants.” When the cargo was slaves, they arranged to sell them,...He was not alone in this practice. Many industrialists and merchants were involved in trading slaves, a common practice at the time. Eight US presidents owned slaves while they were in office.

Simply put, the wealth that Perkins acquired in part from the slave trade over 200 years ago helped to lay the financial foundation for our school. Universities such as Brown, Columbia, William & Mary, and others have similarly complex connections to slavery. At Perkins, it is our responsibility today to recognize this inhumane element of our treasured history, even as we cherish the abolitionism of Samuel and Julia Ward Howe.

We also have to question manufacturers of the products and services we purchase regarding their links to slave labor,…"

 At least it's one way we can say, in this pitiful country, there aren't more blacks in prison than in college,…

 

Next: They'll Say The Planet Is Green Instead Of Blue,...

 

 It's fascinating this would be described as a "shock":

According to a pair of recent polls, for the first time since the 9/11 terrorist hijackings, Americans are more fearful their government will abuse constitutional liberties than fail to keep its citizens safe. Even in the wake of the April 15 Boston Marathon bombing – in which a pair of Islamic radicals are accused of planting explosives that took the lives of 3 and wounded over 280 – the polls suggest Americans are hesitant to give up any further freedoms in exchange for increased “security.” 

Wait - was it Thomas Jefferson or Ben Franklin who first told Americans security-for-freedom was a really bad trade? And yet - 300 years later - these idiots are in "shock" Americans are aware of it? I swear, you've really got to hand it to these cultists: 

They reveal who they are in the most obvious ways,...

 

Since Marriage Is For Life, You Can't Be On Your Second One Without Also Buying Into NewAge's Cult Mantra That Says "You Believe Whatever You Want To Believe"

Based on nothing, Ann Althouse has said she doesn't "think" there's such a thing as brainwashing. 

 Of course, Ann Althouse has been brainwashed a long time:

While America was traumatized by the televised explosions, murders, and manhunt for the Boston bombers, 25-year-old "Connie" was recovering from her own trauma in an Athens area treatment center. 

Her five-month stay in a Nigerian cult-camp has given her a different perspective on how Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, and his 19-year-old brother Dzhokhar may have committed to a killing-cause. 

"My heart actually kind of goes out for the young guy who, as awful as it is, I believe you have to be totally mind controlled ... to do something like this at the age of 19," she said. 

"You don't just do something like it for the sake of it." 

We interviewed Connie at Wellspring, a cult-deprogramming retreat near Albany, Ohio. 

She asked to use a pseudonym as she's involved in an investigation of the organization she was in. 

While the wooded retreat shielded her from much of the national coverage during the events surrounding the bombings, she was able to view some television and hear about the latest from her counselors. 

The answer to the question of "why" being asked by most touched by the bombings comes easy for her. 

At the age of 19 herself she was led to a cult in Lagos by her mother in an attempt to curb her rebellious spirit. 

Though that experience was six years ago, she found herself continually depressed by the experience.

Yes, oh yes, we must always curb "rebels". Oh man, just wait until Connie gets out of Wellspring: 

 She'll find encountering the blogosphere to be just as depressing, if not more so.

If she thinks being in a cult was rough, she'd better prepare herself for being out of it:

Those in positions of authority, and who should know better, will really send her off the rails,...

 

How To Fight Terrorism: Wear Top Hats - Not Fedoras

 

Yes - I'm reusing a photo - and, alright, I know this already, too:

I always make a mistake by starting my intentional reading with Glenn Reynolds. 

Today he quotes his boss, Roger Simon, but that stupid hat's making Simon's brain hot:

"The Obama administration and most of those working for it have taken Islamic terrorism about as seriously as I am taking the Memphis Grizzlies/L.A. Clippers game currently on my TV — in other words, at best mildly interested. Not being a fan of either team, I could watch — I could switch to something else."

 

 It's nice to see Simon's got some perspective on sports, but on terrorism, the man's throwing BS at us and it stinks. Every day - that we hadn't been attacked since 911 - is a day Roger Simon wasn't praising anybody for being alive and well. How many plots have the FBI foiled? Now two brothers pull something off and he's all about why didn't they catch somebody acting weird?

I got news for you, Roger Ol' Buddy:

   

 There's 300 million of us and, from where I sit, we're all pretty fucking weird.

   

 Kinda hard for anybody to stand out, you know what I mean? 

But they try.

   

Now, it's not a secret I'm no fan of the Obama Administration. And it's also no secret I'm a bit disenchanted with my own "side" at the moment. And part of that disenchantment springs from the wrongheaded, unnecessary sniping that goes on, rain or shine, as though there's nothing more important for us to attend to. 

"Not good" Glenn Reynolds said, endorsing Simon's recap of the Bengahzi conspiracy theory currently running through the Right. Look in the mirror, guys. Roger Simon is sitting at home, taking his kicks at this administration, just as casually as his Memphis Grizzlies/L.A. Clippers game. 

I won't deny the Obama administration is taking a different approach to terrorism than I'm comfortable with (our previous discussion of drone strikes, alone, should tell the tale) but I certainly won't deny their effort. The FBI, especially, deserves that. 

   

I also agree too much slips through the fingers of regulators, but in a country silly enough to keep homeopathy in it's pharmacology - and it's selling nationwide - I think there's more-than-enough blame to go around. Simon says:

"Tamerlan, evidently , left quite a trail, from domestic violence to reportedly attacking an imam for holding up MLK as someone to emulate. Not exactly subtle. They were even warned about Tamerlan by the Russians apparently. 

The Feds must have been pretty clueless to ignore all this."

 

 So "must have" Tamerlan's friends and family. Hell, they were a lot closer to the situation than Russia and, somehow, were able to "ignore all this." Or not. They were probably dealing with it in the same manner, I'm sure, the FBI does from time-to-time: 

 The best they can. 

 

Sure, domestic violence is troubling, but hardly a terrorist act - or trigger for a terrorist investigation. And if you're not sick of the MLK whitewash this country indoctrinates us with (along with all the other BS it's intent on doing so) then I question your sanity. 

That leaves the FBI with the damning oversight of a single phone call.

Whoopdefuckingdoo.

 

 If you ask me, compared to everything the Right overlooked in Mitt Romney - and all the smoke Glen Reynolds blew for him - it's not the Obama Administration that's actually looking "pretty clueless" right now,...

 

Organic Planet-Saving NewAge Bible-Thumping Morons

 

My bugaboo for the day is believers claiming we're spirits in the material world.

Look at (what they think to be) The Boston Bomber:

   

 So, based on the evidence - once stripped of belief systems - we're material in the spiritual realm:

   

And believers should be embarrassed at how far science is ahead of them,...

 

Oopsie - That's A Big Snag On "The Path" To "Wellness"

An endurance test? Iron-y.

Watching people running away from a marathon - finally. 

 We're entering Brazil. Now Obama's rushing through bomb control legislation, maybe? 

(Get 'em while emotions are fresh, right?)

This is madness:

Critical thinking's opposite,...
