Most Leftist despots and dictators tend to distance themselves from fellow Leftist Adolf Hitler and the National Socialist German Workers Party.
Rafael Correa, El Presidente of Ecuador is not your typical Leftist despot:
@WKybalion ¡Heil Hitler!

Are you an evil oppressor? Or are you a morally superior victim of oppression?
Take this quiz to find out your moral worth!
According to modern Feminists, there is nothing so empowering of woman than… having their genitals mutilated.
“We underwent several rites as part of our transition from girlhood to womanhood, the most significant being our excision operation – the reduction of the exposed clitoral hood, glans and labia minorae. My immediate experience was of pain and culture shock, while my eight year old sister felt nothing and was soon up and about with other young girls playing in the Bondo encampment. My initial fear – that I would never enjoy sex again and be scarred forever – turned into pride and amazement when I first held a mirror “down there”, saw a clean, smooth look”.
Of course, it isn’t just about women, but about how White people are evil hypocrites and oppressors:
“Yet, in recent years, all over the internet and in Western women’s magazines I see glossy advertisements of white women who have undergone what is now popularised as Female Genital Cosmetic Surgery (FGCS). Doctors, including gynecologists with no surgery background, can charge thousands of dollars for procedures very similar to what I underwent and which the World Health Organisation (WHO) classifies as Type II Mutilation. I do find this puzzling. African women have been berated for over thirty years now for “mutilating” our own and our daughters’ genitals. Medical practitioners are prohibited from performing these surgeries under clinical environments, even when requested by adult African women. But, white Australian girls as young as 14 and 11 can obtain “labiaplasty” underwritten by the National Health Service in local hospitals?”
Labiaplasty doesn’t hack off any part of the clitoris.
What this lunatic is whining about isn’t Female Genital Mutiliation.
The truth of the matter is that Female Genital Mutilation often involves far more than nicking a clitoral hood… but the removal of the clitoris itself in addition to surgical closure of much of the vagina.
News of the Week for April 12th, 2015
For some special little snowflakes, guys who think they are guys and like chicks, or chicks who think they are chicks and like guys, are mythical creatures akin to the yeti, a chupacabra, or an honest politician.
Bakers are forced to bake cakes that celebrate because they are told they can’t discriminate against others, even though they are refusing service not because of who that other person is, but of what they want to celebrate. So, if this really was all about treating people equally, than such imposition on bakers, amongst others, would be applied equally, and anyone could be forced to express an opinion they disagree with, if it is somehow related to who that person is.
Obviously this isn’t about equality.
“Last week, the Colorado Civil Rights Division ruled that Denver’s Azucar Bakery did not discriminate against William Jack, a Christian from Castle Rock, by refusing to make two cakes with anti-gay messages and imagery that he requested last year.
“The dispute began March 13, 2014 when Jack went to the bakery at 1886 S. Broadway and requested two cakes shaped like bibles. He asked that one cake have the image of two groomsmen holding hands in front of a cross with a red ‘X’ over them. He asked that the cake be decorated with the biblical verses, ‘God hates sin. Psalm 45:7’ and ‘Homosexuality is a detestable sin. Leviticus 18:2′, according to the Civil Rights Divisions’ decision.
“…
“The agency’s decision found that the baker did not discriminate against Jack based on his creed. Instead, officials state the evidence shows Silva refused to make the cakes because the customer’s requests included ‘derogatory language and imagery.'”
In effect, the Colorado so-called Civil Rights Division declared that the Bible is obscene and that it wasn’t religious discrimination to discriminate against someone and deny them service because of their religious belief. That the bible is considered by the state to be evil and censorable, while forcing people to celebrate a behavior is contrary to millennia old beliefs is reminiscent of the anti-free speech actions of Canada.
It also makes it clear that forcing bakers to bake gay wedding is not, nor was it ever about equality. You can be forced by the state to support one view on Gay Marriage, but be blocked from expressing a dissenting view.
Another “quick takes” on items where there is too little to say to make a complete article, but is still important enough to comment on.
The focus this time: The Intolerance of “Tolerance”
First, a little mood movie:
Carrying on…
Muad’Dib said it best:
“The notable thing about Culture War 4.0 is its consistent rejection of tolerance in favor of government enforced morality. Remember your Muad’Dib: ‘When I am weaker than you, I ask you for freedom because that is according to your principles; when I am stronger than you, I take away your freedom because that is according to my principles.’ The peaceful tolerance for those who are different now extends too far, for it encompasses people who do not abide by or fully appreciate gay marriages. The people must be brought to heel, and the new morality enforced by government over their religious objections.”
The idea of “tolerance” was just a scam by the Left. They accused society of being “intolerance” and supporting “inequality”. Because the essence of American civilization is based on freedom and equality under the law, the intolerant Left was able to push out American values. Once they were in control, they pushed intolerance of others under the guise of tolerance, and condemned a tolerance society as intolerant.
Up is down.
War is peace.
Freedom is slavery.
Dammin, 1984 was not supposed to be a “How-To” guide!
Don’t think that the “Ministry of Truth” from George Orwell’s novel 1984 could ever exist? Look no further than Google to prove that notion wrong.
“Since stating this morning that they would not be willing to cater a same-sex wedding, the owners of Memories Pizza in Walkerton, Ind., are experiencing the famous ‘tolerance’ of the American Left.
“…
“The description for -Gay Memories Pizza- — which has as its avatar ‘Gay Jesus’ — links to the website [REDACTED], a dating website for gay men.
“None of the nine Memories Pizza-associated images Google Maps provides are related to Memories Pizza. Instead, one finds ‘Boycott Indiana’ images and cartoons mocking Christians.”
“But Google said that that was done by hackers,” some might cry. Even if true, Google wasn’t exactly gushing with apology, and perhaps, there was silent smiles of approval. After all, were any such “hackers” also Google employees engaging in a Stand Alone Complex? But that company’s name is a synonym for “web search” and millions upon millions blindly follow their search results. But what really pushes this into Orwellian territory is that they are musing a plan to rank their search results according to their opinion of the “truth,” wherein such bias, though more subtle, would become formal policy. They would:
“[rank] websites based on the trustworthiness and factual accuracy of web sources. This new system would rely on Google’s own Knowledge Vault and a number of other metrics to gauge the accuracy of the information on a page.”
Considering the clear bias they have demonstrated, including their selective celebrations at their homepage, in addition to their dominance and monopolistic goals, they are clearly aiming to be the new “MiniTru” in the Progressive world of corporatism.

Both Indiana and Arkansas faced vitriol and hate from LGBTQ&c. H8 groups. They buckled under this onslaught of freedom-hating fascists, but ultimately dealt with this onslaught quite differently.
On one hand, Indiana went full Orwell (never go full Orwell), and gutted their Religious Freedom Restoration Act:
“It is important to note that this fix does not create new sexual orientation and gender identity privileges in Indiana; it says that the Religious Freedom Restoration Act cannot protect citizens from existing (municipal) Indiana sexual orientation and gender identity laws and ensuing coercion from government.”

In other words, one’s religious freedom is null and void when a locality declares that in the name of “equality” one persons can be forced to violate their religious beliefs without even the chance to plead their case, while others are given full license to oppress religious belief. In effect:
“Sexual orientation and gender identity laws do not protect equality before the law. Instead, they create special privileges that are enforceable against private actors.”
The Republicans in Indiana now have the status of a Gimp:
“On culture-war matters, Republicans need a spinal transplant. If the mainstream media and the social-justice warriors (but I’m being redundant) kick a bit of sand in their faces, they retreat — even from popular positions.
“…
“The conservative grassroots have greater real-world power than leftist bullies. As of the moment I’m writing this blog (the numbers are skyrocketing by the hour), the gofundme page launched to relieve the financial losses to Memories Pizza — after it was forced to at least temporarily shut its doors in the face of leftist threats — has raised $502,000 in just one day. The new cultural reality is that leftist ‘social justice’ attacks now trigger overwhelming conservative responses — from the Chick-fil-A ‘buycott,’ to the failed attacks on Hobby Lobby, to the standing-room-only crowds at American Sniper. The political battlefield isn’t the only battlefield.”
In contrast, Arkansas dealt with the pressure from Ernst Röhm wannabes far better:
“It appears… that the Arkansas legislature handled the issues better than the Indiana one. The text says that the law should be interpreted consistent with the federal Religious Freedom Restoration Act and its judicial interpretation. The federal law has been read to cover businesses and, in most circuits, to cover litigation between private parties if that litigation invokes federal law. Those were the two ways the Indiana law supposedly ‘expanded’ federal law. The Arkansas law seems to retain those features but make it impossible to describe it as more extreme than the federal law.”
