The Ol' In/Out Never Goes Out Of Style

Since I’m on punishment at Facebook (again - Thanks, Dad) I’m putting some links, here, so readers can still “get the picture” without the artist being around.

The New Republic’s got an article called “A Decade Of Liberal Delusion And Failure” that doesn’t try to wrestle with that headline, as it limits itself to the left’s political maneuverings, and not the crazy people behind them. The prison sentence, just handed down to Brazils “John of God” for multiple rapes, after he was “once promoted by Oprah, and carried out treatments on Bill Clinton” is a fine year-ending example of how we discover “the gang’s all here!” - exactly where they shouldn’t be - and also shows how difficult it is to take, and escape their influence. I mean, this is a story about Brazil, for goodness’ sake.

It doesn't matter. Just as we’ve seen, and heard, around a Harvey Weinstein, or a Jeffery Epstein, an Anthony Weiner, or Ed Buck, The Democrat Party is made up of some dark characters doing very dark things - indefensible things - while posing as trying to help. It makes me wonder what their supporters even think they’re fighting for, when the reality’s right there, for anyone to see:

They're a sex cult.

 

Is The World's Oldest Man Also The Son Of Slaves?

Jose Aguinelo dos Santos - Born July 7th, 1888?

"A Brazilian man whose parents were African slaves could be the oldest living person ever documented after receiving a birth cerficate showing he turned 126 last week, it was reported on Tuesday."

Eliminate The Government? Eliminate The Libertarians

From "The Four Biggest Libertarian Myths About the Civil War":

    "The governments of Cuba and Brazil could pass laws abolishing slavery in their own countries. Parliament could pass a law abolishing slavery in its Caribbean colonies. The revolutionary French republic had abolished it in Haiti. But the United States Congress could not abolish slavery in the southern states because the Constitution didn’t allow it.

Lincoln could emancipate large numbers of slaves as a military necessity in wartime, but that’s not abolition, and it only ended up freeing about fourteen percent of the slaves. He could pressure states to abolish slavery, but he only got five slave states to do it—leaving slavery legal in ten states when the war ended. The truth is that only way to get slavery abolished was by rewriting the Constitution. That’s why we ended up with a Thirteenth Amendment."

So much for eliminating government as a rallying cry for blacks,…

 

Understand ("Scope" Ain't Just For Bad Breath)

Number Six from "6 Common Misconceptions About the Enslavement of African People" in The Atlanta Black Star:

The Greatest Atrocity in Human History

In Atrocities: The 100 Deadliest Episodes in Human History, author Matthew White listed the Mideast slave trade (7th to 19th century) at 18.5 million deaths, and the toll of the Atlantic slave trade (1452–1807) at 16 million. That amounts  to 34.5 million deaths of one single group of people.

That estimate does not account for the deaths as a result of the practice of slavery across the Diaspora, which ended in Brazil in 1888.  Nor does it account for the centuries of colonialism across the continent.

Preeminent scholar and historian Dr. John Henrik Clarke places the toll of African lives lost during the slave trade or the African Holocaust at approximately 150 million.

Whites might want to keep that in mind whenever they feel like saying "get over it"...

Spike Lee "Kills" A White Guy On Gentrification In NYC

An epic rant.

"The motherfuckin’ Christopher Columbus Syndrome. You can’t discover this! We been here.

You just can’t come and bogart. There were brothers playing motherfuckin’ African drums in Mount Morris Park for 40 years and now they can’t do it anymore because the new inhabitants said the drums are loud. My father’s a great jazz musician. He bought a house in nineteen-motherfuckin’-sixty-eight, and the motherfuckin’ people moved in last year and called the cops on my father. He’s not — he doesn’t even play electric bass! It’s acoustic! We bought the motherfuckin’ house in nineteen-sixty-motherfuckin’-eight and now you call the cops? In 2013? Get the fuck outta here!

Nah. You can’t do that. You can’t just come in the neighborhood and start bogarting and say, like you’re motherfuckin’ Columbus and kill off the Native Americans. Or what they do in Brazil, what they did to the indigenous people. You have to come with respect. There’s a code. There’s people!"

I'm Not Sure What Kind Of World Y'all Want To Live In

Brazil's Slaves Are Being Freed, But Owners Go Largely Unpunished

The Republicans ("It's My Party And I'll Cry If I Want To")

"A SHOCKING ad on one of Latin America's biggest online marketplaces, offering 'blacks for sale for one real' ($A. 47), has sparked outrage in Brazil and a police investigation.

The ad featured a photo of two black children, and suggested anyone purchased could 'serve as carpenters, masons, cooks, security guards, nightclub bouncers, janitors, garbage collectors, or housekeepers'."

TMR's mostly still been riding the racial zeitgeist, with links, because - let's face it -  there wasn't much to say anybody wants to hear.

"For too long we’ve heard that these crimes are inevitable, too complex to solve, or not our problem, resembling some of the arguments used in the 18th century to justify the slave trade. But this is a question of political will. The facts are established, and like our predecessors 'we cannot plead ignorance'."

Unfortunately, telling people what they want to hear has never been TMR's mandate (blogging would be so much simpler) and neither is waiting for anybody to catch up.

"Slavery 'Should Be Made Essential Reading'"

REPUBLICANS "don't see race" or can't connect the concept to slavery? 


Fine - YOU don't see it. 



Good for you.

TMR most certainly does - especially through work on cultism. 

"It is not a coincidence that marijuana has been decriminalized in Washington and Colorado, but not in Wisconsin, Oklahoma, Iowa, Pennsylvania, California, Indiana or Louisiana — the seven states with the highest rates of incarcerated black men." 

This is not to be racist, but to be real:

"When two black men were accused of assaulting a white couple on the Charlottesville, Virginia, mall last month, the right-wing shriek machine immediately seized on the incident as the latest 'knockout game' attack—a Drudge-fed race panic in which feral black youth are purportedly sucker-punching nice white people around the nation without reason or warning."

Having good intentions, or trying to appear good, means nothing at TMR - actually being good does.

"Apparently they all swim naked in the sea with mermaids and lollipop dreams to a cove filled with miniature unicorns singing the secrets of everlasting youth."

The Macho Response - to everything - has always been to "follow the North Star" using a strong moral compass.

Those are American values.

"I didn’t feel the need to get some guy down the hall to respect my work,...I’d decided that getting respect from my own people meant far more than being recognized by people foolish enough to spend their entire lives writing research papers that no one is ever going to read.

...I wish that I could say that you’re going to always be rewarded for your hard work and that you’ll get the opportunities you deserve.  But the fact is that I hear more complaints about workplace discrimination on a daily basis than you can imagine, and the evidence clearly shows that the legal remedies for people of color are few and far between."

I don't know what the rest of y'all have been blogging about,…

Libya: Is It About The Soccer - Or The Suckers?

Hat Tip: Ace of Spades HQ

The Ultimate Break-Up Song

Former U.N. ambassador John Bolton is singing that old Johnny Mathis & Deniece Williams hit, Too Much Too Little Too Late, and rightfully so:

John R. Bolton, the former ambassador to the United Nations who is weighing a presidential run in 2012, accused President Obama on Friday of failing to address threats to U.S. national security and called the administration's approach to the crisis in Libya "pathetic."

Hours after the president warned that the United Nations was ready to launch a military strike to defend the Libyan people if their leader Moammar Kadafi did not halt his attacks on civilians and pull back from the rebel stronghold of Benghazi and three other cities, Bolton cast the president as indecisive, inconsistent and uninterested in foreign policy.

Speaking on the opening night of the state Republican Party convention in Sacramento, Bolton told fellow party members that had he been in charge, he would have moved far more swiftly and would have unilaterally declared a no-fly zone in Libya during the early stage of the crisis.

"Had we acted in those early days, we could have tipped the balance conclusively against Kadafi and this whole thing might be over," Bolton told hundreds of delegates over dinner in the ballroom of a downtown hotel. "Instead the president dithered, and he watched, and he waited, and he temporized."

"In the course of his ruminations, he said Kadafi has got to go — and then he still didn't do anything about it — thus exposing the United States to an enormous credibility problem with our friends and allies, as well as our adversaries."

In recent days, the United States and its allies at the United Nations have ratcheted up pressure on Kadafi to leave power. The U.N. Security Council agreed Thursday to use "all necessary measures" to protect the Libyan people, clearing the way for military strikes on Libyan aircraft and ground forces. The vote was 10 to 0 with five abstentions from Germany, China, Russia, India and Brazil.

"This is the great diplomatic successor to the Bush administration? Are you kidding me?" Bolton scoffed to laughter Friday night. In addition to his tenure as U.N. ambassador during George W. Bush's second term, Bolton also served as undersecretary of state for arms control and international security in Bush's first term,

In a broad-ranging and well-received critique of Obama's foreign policy, Bolton said Obama was "still not qualified to be president" two years into his term. He suggested that the president had underestimated the threats in North Korea and Iran and "doesn't see the rest of the world as terribly threatening to American interests," while placing his faith in international institutions to provide security for the United States.

"He is our first post-American president," Bolton said, adding that he didn't mean "un-American" or "anti-American." "He's kind of beyond all that patriotism stuff. He's got a much broader view of what our policy should be."

"We don't need a president who looks out for the interests of the rest of the world over ours," he said later in his speech, to applause. "We need a president who is proud of America, who will defend American interests."

I'm not sure "it's over" for us, as the song's quavering refrain says, but, if you ask me, there's definitely no romance left.

And in case you're wondering, yeah, I hope Bolton's running, if only to keep the others serious and honest. He'll gladly throw his support behind Palin when the time comes - Hey:

I wonder if she's got any singing skills?

"INSTAPORNDIT" HAS ARRIVED!!! (Now Don't Everybody Crowd Or You Might Scare The Girls)

Yes, that photo above does say "Gods Girls.com". Where do you think you are? We don't miss a trick (Nudge, nudge, wink, wink!) This is an emergency strategy to get the numbers up - clearly a desperate move to find more readers - so prepare yourselves for TMR's new mash-up of Instapundit and softcore porn, which we call:

INSTAPORNDIT!!!!

O.K., we know there's no one you can trust, but, other than her girlfriend, Gayle, is there anyone else who's black in Oprah's universe?

We discovered - just this morning - we're a fake man (that was told to us by a real man, of course, seen above) but we know it's not true because we eat meat. And usually with a side-dish of meat. We even eat meat oatmeal. Fuck, we looove meat oatmeal, mixed with the entrails of small illegal immigrant children - who should've been sent back home a long time ago, but nooooo! Top that, Mr. You Should Be Nicer To People.

Brazil wants to add "happiness" to their constitution. And they wonder why nobody takes them seriously.

Have you heard about the "tree octopus"? If you have, you're probably an idiot.

You wanna know why the nutcase who shot John Lennon was carrying a copy of J.D. Salinger's Catcher In The Rye? Well, figure it out, genius:

As an adult [Salinger's daughter] Peggy was diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome, whereupon her insurance company disputed the diagnosis and stopped her disability payments. At the time, she was losing control of her bowels and bladder and feared she'd end up destitute and unable to care for herself. She phoned her father to tell him so. "A week or two later," she writes, "something arrived in the mail. He had taken out a three-year subscription, in my name, to a monthly booklet of testimonials to miraculous healing put out by the Christian Science Church. … I would get well when I stopped believing in the 'illusion' of my sickness."

And, apparently, the Jazz great, Stan Kenton, also had some problems adjusting to the fatherly role as well:

Onstage, though, Kenton seemed far from a wild-eyed avant-gardist; his manner was buttoned down and conservative. He never appeared in less than a suit and tie and conducted himself like a combination of college professor and church leader. Early in Michael Sparke's "This Is an Orchestra!," a study of the man and his band published last year, the author quotes arranger Charlie Shirley, who calls Kenton "one of the straightest men I've ever met. Dedicated, clean, sober." Certainly bebop legend Art Pepper—a star of several Kenton orchestras who wrote a powerful memoir of his years as a junkie—perceived a world of difference between himself and his employer.

Yet "Love Affair"—a harrowing and intimate memoir by Kenton's daughter, Leslie—now reveals that he and Pepper were more alike than anyone realized. Mr. Sparke mentions that Kenton abused alcohol in later life; Ms. Kenton depicts her father as a lifelong alcoholic and such a troubled soul that you wonder at times how he could hold himself together well enough to keep his band going. Most shockingly, Ms. Kenton asserts that their own relationship was, for a time, incestuous.

Ms. Kenton's book is a fall-and-rise "recovery" memoir in the tradition of Lillian Roth's "I'll Cry Tomorrow" (1954). She worshipped her father in spite of his apparent shortcomings, and they bonded over a shared love of art and music. The tone she takes toward her father is one of forgiveness rather than accusation, and often the book reads like the tale of a taboo liaison (it's worth noting that she titled it "Love Affair," not "Daddy Dearest"). But keep in mind she was only 11 when, she says, he first forced himself on her, and only 13 when they broke the physical "affair" off.

Ms Kenton maintains that she and her father never stopped caring about each other, and she even seems to shield him from blame, claiming he suffered from dissociative identity disorder and portraying him as dominated by his controlling mother. Because Kenton had divorced Leslie's mother, her grandmother played an outsize role in her life as well. At one point, Ms. Kenton charges, her grandmother sent her off to a sanitarium without reason. On another occasion, she pushed her 10-year-old granddaughter to play "dress up" with a pair of creepy cross-dressers backstage at a theater in New York.

Ahhh, yes. According to liberals, the girl was just getting a proper education for the kind of world (and childhood upbringing) they want to introduce to everyone - free of constraints and your silly assumptions about parents and grandparents protecting kids from the likes of "creepy cross-dressers".

Now where in the world could they have gotten that idea from?
