I've Just About Had Enough Of Having Enough Racism

Reading white racist's vomit-inducing rationalizations of this country's racism, as well as their own, is getting to be too much for me.

I guess I had a limit after all,...

"Whatever Spirits They Believe In" Are The Key Words,...

And this goes waaay beyond economics,...

ADDED:

Until we understand this stuff, I don't think we'll be out of the woods yet,...

Bah

 It's no secret by now that I consider Ann Althouse and Glenn Reynolds a couple of moral midgets, partially because they don't fess up when they mess up, and partially because they pretend it isn't still seen:

Slowly, slowly, Althouse, you are beginning to understand that the feminist indoctrination was just evil and wrong.

 

And, at the same time, you're making the same mistake by falling prey to the gay indoctrination. 

 

You just don't seem able to make the connection. Yes, you can twist your intellect into knots for the purpose of providing yourself with novel ideas about "equality."

 

You're making the same damned mistake again that you made in your youth. Is there any way that you can swallow your pride? Your desire for intellectual novelty is not necessarily sane or decent.

Bingo. I don't know what it is about women who insist we all try to look and sound happy, and smile a lot, but they don't realize that makes their sinister behavior appear even more so. If you ask me, an entire society pushing that outlook on someone is almost begging for a mass shooting - just to wipe those smiles off their faces. Action/Reaction. 

And the idea of ignoring what nice (but not so nice) women do, when it was done/said publicly, well that's just disrespectful. Action/Reaction. A smile won't cover that up either. 

I have learned about the true nature of evil from some of the nicest people in the world - women. Evil that transcends anything I've experienced in the ghetto - including murder - because the rationalizations those bad guys gave were pretty straight-forward ("I shot him 'cause he stepped on my shoe") and didn't suggest those listening to them are crazy (adding insult to injury) like NewAgers will, if we don't believe as they do. It's just a whole other level. 

It's no wonder the few that are made to punish for their deeds do so only after a day in court, where their bullshit can be parsed and found bogus in detail. Cultism, the herd mentality, love-bombing, delusions, silly beliefs - most people simply can't keep up with it all.   

 And - in the world these "nice" women have made - that's the only thing left we can trust,...

Cult, Sure

Oh dear. "Many Unitarians would prefer that their polyamory activists keep quiet" during the gay marriage debate, because "Hush up!" is how we're getting to the truth, behind this issue, this time.

 

I'm reminded that priests make rationalizations when they molest little kids.

A world of hysterics, pretending they're calmly discussing things, for reals.

They don't want to talk about what happened, what they did (and do) to each other.

  

 All they're programmed to do is disrupt things, while repeating the phrase "We Are All One."

 And there's the ugly truth behind the image:

 

When you're dealing with cultists, “It’s not about the witchcraft, but the deception,…"

Murdering People Is Wrong, I Mean - SQUIRREL!!!!

It's pretty sad when murderers have better ethics than most "spiritual" folks:

"I killed. I deserve to be killed."

Those are the words of "Donald Moeller, a man who was convicted of raping and killing a 9-year-old girl 20 years ago." Sorry, Mormons, I can't help but compare them to the weasel words of John G. Turner, author of the new biography Brigham Young: Pioneer Prophet:

"He preserved a church and created a people, but that success damaged and even destroyed some lives."

Talk about letting somebody off the hook! As the late Christopher Hitchens was so fond of saying, bad men will do bad, but for a good man to do so - and, I'll add, for he and his "church" to get away with it - he needs religion. Consider this passage, from a review of Paul Thomas Anderson's The Master, from the website Religious Dispatches:

The other reason that Anderson deserves recognition as an honorary scholar of new religious movements is that his curiosity about new religions has brought him into conflict with a culture that still approaches the religious other through an un-nuanced “us vs. them” mentality. Most religion scholars who deal heavily with new religious movements have been branded as “cult apologists” at some point in their careers. At stake in this accusation is an assumption that “whoever is not for us is against us,” and that anyone who is not actively attempting to debunk and discredit minority religions has decided to defend them unconditionally. 

I have written for here and elsewhere that for some commentators, ridiculing Scientology seems to have become a kind of hobby. There are, of course, plenty of reasons not to like the Church of Scientology. Not the least of these are the serious allegations that have been leveled against the Church by former members, especially the children of Scientologists who were raised in Scientology schools or pressured to serve in the Church’s elite order, Sea Org. 

But as disturbing as these stories are, I am more interested in the motivations of groups like Anonymous, who organized angry protests in front of Scientology buildings, and journalists like Tony Ortega, who in two years produced 465 articles attacking the Church of Scientology. 

In a world threatened by the possibility of nuclear conflict in the Middle East, global warming, and growing economic injustice, why direct so much energy toward a religion that is culturally and politically irrelevant outside of Hollywood? What is the sense of satisfaction some people find in crusading against Scientology? Popular animosity toward Scientology is interesting because it seems to point toward much larger patterns in how Americans respond to minority religions.

In other words - pffft! Forget those "damaged and even destroyed" by this nonsense (which even the writer admits "cannot really 'fix'” anything) and "especially the children," the real story are the true crazies amongst us - those who, for some unknown reason, want to stop the hidden or unmentioned death and destruction going on all around them:

Because, as we all know, it is they - the folks who have hurt no one but seek justice for the innocent and injured - they're the ones we should be "more interested in the motivations of,…"

My Dog Said He Ate Your Bagel For World Peace

Didn't I tell you "Once You Know They're NewAgers You've Got Everything They Think Pretty Much Figured Out"?

Well, The Village Voice's Nick Pinkerton has written a review of NewAger Julian Schnabel's new film (that I referenced in that earlier post) and - needless to say - it's about what I expected:

A U.N. premiere! A Vanessa Redgrave cameo! Zionist hoodlums! Distributors the Weinstein Company and director Julian Schnabel overcome their well-documented aversion to media attention to address the Israel-Palestine question, pleading peace, compromise, and the creation of a self-governing Palestinian state. While Jewish advocacy groups swarm to Schnabel’s bait, it bears noting that Miral is a very flat, fuddled movie, an at-odds-with-itself partisan work, its convictions diffused in a warm soak of style.

...Falling far short of the intuitive scene-to-scene storytelling the freewheeling camera implies, Miral is fussy checklist filmmaking, a scavenger hunt for the issues and representative characters that one simply must include in a panoramic survey of its subject.

...These are pictures of people we scarcely know, suffering under circumstances we barely understand, and only further obscured by travelogue impressionism. For closing catharsis, Schnabel imports some maudlin Tom Waits caterwauling—a sure sign that this is the mediation of a sentimental American Boomer countless fathoms out of his depth. Hasn’t Jerusalem suffered enough?

Screw Jerusalem, haven't we all?

Wasn't I just saying, earlier today, that it's time for the Baby Boomers, specifically, to exit the stage?

And what gave Harvey Weinstein the impression a director with a pet psychic had anything relevant to say about,...well, anything? Least of all, anything having to do with Israel? Julian Schnabel's steeped in Naziism NewAge! When it comes to Israel, he's A) not going to understand it B) not going to be able to explain it C) obviously going to get the film wrong, and D) going to come down against Israel. All four of those were givens!

It doesn't matter if Schnabel was born Jewish - was Harvey Weinstein high?

What-everrrrr. As long as the rest of you have learned that - if I tell you such-and-such a person/artist is a NewAger - you'd better take it as a warning. Not to avoid their work all together (though you might want to) but to know what you're probably getting yourself into:

A denunciation of all that's good, coupled with an elevation of (and/or a rationalization for) all that's bad. And usually created by a fragile mind that's so confused the artist, once engaged in the act of creation, will almost always think attempting to hide his/her confusion is ultimately more important than actually entertaining anyone.

The reason I don't say to avoid all NewAge spectacles is because, if you're lucky, they can be quite entertaining about trying to accomplish that deception - but, unfortunately, this doesn't appear to be the case with Julian Schnabel. And I never thought it would:

I mean, come on, who really expects good art from a guy who uses a pet psychic?!?

Casey Heynes: Delivering The Lesson For Us All

Yeah, like it's just kids. This blog's name is hated by many, but what they don't understand is it's called The Macho RESPONSE - not The Bully Boy Blog or The Asshole Corner. It's an answer to the nonsense people dish out - especially NewAgers, those people everyone seems to want to give a pass in life because they come off as so "charming" (when they're nothing of the kind) or benefitting their supporters, which leaves them free to kill and cause trouble.

You'll notice what Casey says about his "friends" when he got attacked - they deserted him - and they probably joined the rest of the abusers out there. I've told the adult version of this story too many times and in too many ways, here, but, if you check the comments, you'll see they've got many ways to continue the abuse, claiming it's not attractive, or a "pity party" or anything but to say "What can we do to help?"

My life has been destroyed by murderers and I still can't understand the rationalizations people come up with to excuse that. Even when I hand them the guy responsible. (And it's been years now. You'll notice that when Ann Althouse got a threatening note - I repeat: a threatening note - from a wimp, it made almost every online media outlet that's ever heard her name - like a lone black guy isn't more exposed and vulnerable than a popular law professor.) And then they expect me to always be nice. What have I gotten from the very start? I get Oh, get over it. Be a man. There must be a reason. And the one I hate the most, "move on".

Could you "move on" from murder?



At some point, we've all got to ask ourselves if our lives on this planet are going to be something we're proud of, or just a clusterfuck that leaves some scarred and others laughing. If it's the latter, then don't complain about the title of this blog, because I'm not backing down. There are massive wrongs going on in this world, and if you're going to stand on the sidelines as it happens, then fuck you:

I've got The Macho Response.

Charlie Manson's attorney is asking President Obama to get the crazy cult leader out of prison, because Manson never specifically told his followers to kill anyone, but just to "do something witchy". We've got a better idea:

Cultish Thinking: You Deserve What You Get

"There was no single moment, [William] Yenner says, when he began to believe that the line between spiritual discipline and authoritarian control had begun to blur. But he contends that [Andrew] Cohen mandated – directly or indirectly – actions such as slapping the face of someone for showing too much ego or pride; banishing followers, at least temporarily, for alleged misbehavior; or requiring followers to shave their heads as a form of humility. In one incident recounted in the book, Yenner says a woman who spoke up to Cohen had red paint thrown in her face as punishment. To this day, says Yenner, it bothers him that he didn’t object.


'You rationalize it,' said Yenner, who writes that he was once told to perform 1,000 prostrations facing Cohen’s photo. 'You start to believe that you deserve what happens.'"

-- Suzanne Wilson, in a review for Yenner's new book, American Guru: A Story of Love, Betrayal and Healing – former students of Andrew Cohen speak out - a review which doesn't even mention that Andrew Cohen's own mother wrote a book about what a scumbag he is - making me think I should throw paint in the reviewer's face (or a cream pie - who's gonna stop me?) since she still hasn't learned to consider others, at American Guru.net.

Very True: NewAge Liberalism Is An Infection

"“The most effective strategy is to fire up the base,...so they proceed to infect their friends, who infect their friends, and so on. Of course, the base might already be trying to infect their friends."

-- Chris Colin, paraphrasing the idea of Jonah Sachs, the co-founder and creative director of the design and strategy firm Free Range Studios, who "believes" the NewAge liberal's problem is too much rationality - which is such an insane statement that I think we should be making Joker posters of them all - and not just giving them space in The San Francisco Chronicle.

We're Stunned. We Can't Move: We're Stunned.

"Let's talk about another part of the left Web: Huffington Post. HuffPo is certainly 'new media,' supports a wide range of progressive and liberal causes, is on the Daily Kos's selective blogroll, and is a pernicious source of medical misinformation. At HuffPo, that takes the form of anti-vaccination tropes and the occasional support for homeopathy. HuffPo staff have been demonstrably sympathetic to those causes, and the responses to pro-hard-science counterpostings are ... well, they aren't so pretty. Daily Kos must not follow that road. This community has embraced the banner of 'reality-based' with pride. So here's reality,...claims of a medical conspiracy, of insurance companies engaged in self-defeating suppression of cheap 'cures' to keep patients suffering ... is quackery.  It's the first step down the road that ruined science journalism at the Huffington Post."

-- Serpents Choice, standing with the skeptics - and exhibiting a level of rationality that's positively shocking - because (based on past performance) neither could be expected from The Daily Kos.
