"The whole country has turned into bitch-assed niggas."
And those bitch-assed niggas just stole an American election. So, now, they're not just being a buncha bitch-assed niggas, but they're also back to being unjustifiably SMUG about being a buncha bitch-assed niggas. And, somehow - they think - that's gonna translate into "unity" with an administration featuring a woman who'd sleep with Montel Williams. They've completely lost the plot.
That was Smith College president Kathleen McCartney, in an apology widely criticised by whites as "political correctness," and not for also being an acknowledgment of her lack of American cultural awareness. These white attacks are weird because black's point should be obvious:
White guys aren't expected to say - and might not be capable of saying - anything on race
Being a dog, Brian was safe for showing weirdness others tolerate as white's "normal" uptight behavior.
If he wasn't rubbing color in our faces to make one kind of point, he was pulling a Shouting Thomas and over-compensating to make another - both indicating how uncomfortable he was with himself.
He made sure everybody knew he was politically correct.
But the truth was - with all his betrayals of himself and others - he's what most fondly call "being human" in the NewAge.
“Not in our name: Dawkins dresses up bigotry as non-belief - he cannot be left to represent atheists”
Um, guys, Richard Dawkins doesn't "represent atheists" because - this is going to shock the cultish thinkers - we're not a group. Atheism isn't a rallying cry, but a fact Dawkins (and others) speak about.
Something I can't do at the moment because, I've been laying on my side so long, my throat is starting to close.
And BTW - Dawkins isn't wrong - you're just too PC to live,...
I'm sure they're going to hang the bus driver, when he works under the PC rules that prohibit him from acting normally, or else he gets in trouble. It's a total Catch-22, because there's no way for him to know how and when to act, because the rules are so bullshit and arbitrary.
That won't stop the "authorities" who made those rules from deciding he didn't interpret them right.
I'm not going to turn this into The Bill Maher Show, but there are so few outlets having serious discussions on subjects I care about - this one is filled with bullshit claims about Obama, but at least it's not politically correct (conservatives USED to understand that) nor is it pretending it's "bigotry" to discuss Mormonism realistically.
If this doesn't sound like good ol' conservative me, blame those who decided Mitt Romney was the best we could do for a president. They've done something so totally wrong they've made Bill Maher seem funny and intelligent. That's what I call "screwing the pooch."
I can listen to this stuff all day. Is anybody else showing us the Romney's vacation home? (Sure, the Romney's lived on tuna and noodles,...uh-huh.) Is anybody else talking about Romney's record in Massachusetts? Anything but Ann Romney's horse? And while acting like that's politics?
If you ask me, right now, I'm one of the last real conservatives left,…
This is Psy, a self-described South Korean "loser" who said:
"My goal in this music video was to look uncool until the end. I achieved it."
I agree - the music's awful, too.
But what's important, here, is how popular it's become. It's a really shitty song, performed by an uncharismatic artist, in that Euro disco style that's become fashionable with tasteless, brain-dead, wife beater shirt-wearing morons the world over. And that's what I want to talk about:
How, in a cultural wasteland, everything gets turned upside-down - until shit gets turned to gold - and that's when the ignorant are "happy."
You remember this, don't you? It's Beck doing "Loser," another song that became popular despite the fact that - if he had ever shown his face in a rapping contest - he would've been kicked to the curb faster than you can say the title.
No, no, no - there was none of Eminem's "8 Mile" suffering (facing physical danger while honing his skills to a knife point just to be good enough to compete) for Mr. Scientology. Beck just spit nonsense into a microphone - with absolutely no regard for meter - and then (probably) made a phone call to David Miscavage who (probably) beat their cult's followers, until they (probably) worked the phones relentlessly enough to get this classic example of lameness on MTV, and the rest is history.
As a cult critic, I see this phenomena playing out all the time, in pretty much every sphere of life. It no longer matters if anything is good or bad, true or false, harmful or benign, but only whether the impression of popularity can be brought to bear, so those too-easily influenced by the herd mentality will gradually (and gladly) move in it's direction. It appears, to those cowardly folks, being part of a group is more important than anything else in life,…including life (or any understanding of it) itself.
Reality (like - heh - Surf Music) takes a beating when we're trapped in this milieu:
To his millions of readers, Glenn Reynolds recently declared Twilight star Robert Pattinson was a "LOSER," after Reynolds saw signs the actor was suffering under the weight of his public betrayal by his then-girlfriend and co-star, Kristen Stewart - despite the fact Stewart was publicly apologizing for hurting Pattinson so badly.
Saying you’re sorry often creates the temptation to drown in your own guilt,…If you fear this apologetic abyss more than you fear breaking up, it’s possible you’re a coward. It’s also possible you have good intuition,…
Love-of-destruction translation:
Forget whatever vileness you did to an innocent, including one you claimed to love and paraded before the world as such. In that - and anything else - you can have it YOUR WAY!
Compare the attitudes of Reynolds and Quan with the compassion of The Daily Show's Jon Stewart (below) when it comes to treatment of Pattinson, the victim in this cinema-derived romantic drama:
And why not? In our current upside-down version of reality, which is just political correctness run amok, neither Glenn Reynolds (spoon-feeding millions of followers his blinkered, and destructive, outlook) or Tracy Quan (ditto - "intuition"?) are going to call anyone on such an act as the personal destruction of another.
Unless, of course, the attacker(s) is/are outside of whatever accepted group they're in.
Which brings me to the presidential race,…to be cont'd.
Along with N.P.R. listeners calling black people "African-Americans" when we ain't ever been to Africa, I really wish we hadn't started with this childish damned speak-and-spell bullshit. Here's someone scared to death of gay people (or scared gay people will be someone's death) but I had to run to a fucking dictionary just to understand why. Not cool. It sounds important.
Anyway, get it together, get over yourselves, and say what the fuck you mean. If it bothers you there may be a bit of faggot on the dick, say it bothers you there may be a bit of faggot on the dick. If large groups of black people bother you, say large groups of black people bother you. I don't care. Say whatever the fuck you want to say but, whatever you do, stop kissing each other's asses about it. Especially you N.P.R. people. That shit makes me nervous.
And I'm sure Miss Crazy Lady would have a few words to say about it as well,...
There was a line, before, that I would not cross, but no more:
There have always been those who demand restrictions be put on art and there will always be in the future - fuck 'em.
Art is the one area of life where this conservative has accepted everything, and now, with this barrier put between me and the outside world, I've decided - rather than being a fence that will hem me in - it will become a mountain range of protection that will not only keep the losers out, but that I can fire at them from, at will. What are they going to do now? Complain they didn't know?
So, welcome to the "new" TMR, where I can post what I want - without concern for a politically correct moral and ethical system I don't agree with anyway. Expect a wider variety of content from here on out - and a wider variety of topics - but, if you're here, know you've already been warned:
Either grow up or get out because I ain't listening.
Well, it seems that whoever was offended by the blog has had the proper effect - visits have fallen through the floor - but that's cool, because now it's me and the rest of the hardcore, and I finally have a good idea of how many of you that is. The level of donations have been quite gratifying, too, making me feel special while somebody's trying to make me feel small.
BTW - I've got an idea about who that somebody is. There's been a jerk from Daly City, California (it's always California) who's been recently taunting me with homosexual comments, until I started deleting them, so I guess he went the politically correct route and got Blogger to do his bidding. (Isn't it weird, in America, how easily that works nowadays? Blogger didn't even ask me what's going on,...) But, as I said when the WARNING went up, he's done me as much of a favor as hurt me, because the rest of you responded with donations (Big Thumbs Up to the Ladies!) and, seriously, if this was one of those blogs done exclusively for fame you'd see me acting like other bloggers, and posting everywhere to promote it, and I just don't do that. TMR will live or die under it's own power - it's been sabotaged by NewAge libs three times now - but, if there's one thing the attacks it receives proves, it does have power:
We - me, what I've created here, and the people who regularly read and participate in it - can and will not be ignored.
I'm sorry about not posting yesterday, but I've got a friend who needed some help doing some back-breaking work, and when I got home all I wanted was a beer, some food, and some sleep. It's a trip to not to be watching things for a day, because now I feel kind of like events have gotten away from me a little, when I'm so used to staying on top of them, even if I'm not commenting on every little thing that happens. That said, I've decided to make a few changes from here on out, picking up the pace, starting with a reduction in the number of photos I use (Most of my time is spent reading, grabbing photos and videos, and trying to organize them into something). This way, I think, I'll be able to post more often and maybe become an even bigger part of the dialogue. To the artists and weirdoes I say, don't fret, I'm still going to have them, but there will also be posts that don't from now on, just so we can talk about more. I'm also hoping it'll inspire more comments, though I know, talking to me scares some people. (Man up, folks, they're only words,...)
Alright - before I start cussing everybody out again - I want you to know "I Love You", and it's nothing personal, but like a father to his kids, I want everyone to do better and this is just the time-tested approach that really gets results.
Just ask whoever the pussy was who got "insulted".
O.K., shape up or ship out, assholes! I'ma jump in the shower and then hit it - hard - including that promised piece on cultism.
It strikes me as absolutely bizarre how so many can talk and think like this, regarding Islam, but then be struck deaf, dumb, and blind when it comes to NewAge:
To ignore the religious nature of the terrorist threat is to succumb to politically correct delusion. To ignore the homegrown religious nature of the terrorist threat is to succumb even further.
Take out the word "terrorist" and that's identical to what I've been saying for years - and, considering NewAgers aren't above helping terrorists, I'm not even sure you have to go that far.
Oh well, it clears up one mystery, though:
Now I can understand why Newt Gingrich thought that "situational ethic" line might work,...
You don’t rise in the armed forces if you can’t read your superiors. And the rising officers who met Hasan knew what their superiors wanted without having to be told. Islam was a religion of peace, and Muslims in the Army were a welcome sign of diversity. Treating Hasan as a dangerous Islamist would put those messages at risk.
So the politically correct message was more important than the life-and-death truth. That sounds familiar to anyone schooled in NewAge.
Oregon lawmakers will take the first step today toward ending legal protections for parents who rely solely on faith to treat their dying children.
The bill targets the Followers of Christ, an Oregon City church with a long history of children dying from treatable medical conditions. A previous crackdown restricted but did not eliminate religious immunity from state criminal statutes.
Rep. Carolyn Tomei, D-Milwaukie, said deaths of three Followers children in recent years – all without medical intervention – prompted her to introduce the bill. "Such gross and unnecessary neglect cannot be allowed, even if the parents are well-meaning," Tomei said.
The legislation appears primed for approval. It has wide support both political parties, prosecutors, medical providers and child-protection groups, and there is no organized opposition.
"I don't think there'll be anyone coming to testify against it," Tomei said.
House Bill 2721 would remove spiritual treatment as a defense for all homicide charges. Moreover, if found guilty, parents would be subject to mandatory sentencing under Oregon's Measure 11.
Legislators and prosecutors hope the threat of long prison sentences will cause church members to reconsider their tradition of rejecting medical treatment in favor of faith healing.
"This will level the playing field so all parents will be operating under the same rules," said Clackamas County District Attorney John Foote. "It's going to make it easier to hold parents accountable who don't protect their children."
It may seem wild that Oregon has to pass a law to stop parents from killing their kids, but that's the nature of belief:
There's no reasoning with it.
Along with trying to sort out what's wrong with political correctness, the ability to reason is part of the problem for anyone trying to comprehend NewAge crimes, especially when working within a politically correct culture or framework. Listen to this take on the problems Phoenix prosecutors face in the James Arthur Ray "sweatlodge" murder trial:
“They will have to prove that what happened is something so far removed from what a reasonable person doing that type of activity would do,” said Phoenix criminal defense attorney Michael Black.
If you ask us, that shouldn't be too hard in this new conservative climate:
Abandon politically correct thinking and it's obvious no reasonable person would've even been there.
