AP To America: “You Are All RAAACIST!”

     According to the Associated Press, you, dear reader, are a RAAACIST if you happen to be white.  According to the online survey taken by the AP, which purported to measure explicit and implicit racism:

” In all, 51 percent of Americans now express explicit anti-black attitudes, compared with 48 percent in a similar 2008 survey. When measured by an implicit racial attitudes test, the number of Americans with anti-black sentiments jumped to 56 percent, up from 49 percent during the last presidential election. In both tests, the share of Americans expressing pro-black attitudes fell.”

     The AP also declared that “most Americans expressed anti-Hispanic sentiments, too. In an AP survey done in 2011, 52 percent of non-Hispanic whites expressed anti-Hispanic attitudes. That figure rose to 57 percent in the implicit test. The survey on Hispanics had no past data for comparison.”  The racism, of course, is declared to be harbored by Republicans, who clearly would never support blacks like Allen West, Tim Scott, or Mia Love; or who would never support Hispanics like Brian Sandoval or Susan Martinez…

     However, East Asian individuals were considered “neutral.”

     This survey is the perfect example of bias confirmation, wherein the left declares that white people are necessarily racist, and then construct a survey to confirm their own bias. Continue reading →

12 Posts of Christmas, 2012 (Day 1)

     ‘Tis the season for snowflakes, whether they are falling from the sky, or simply being made by children for decoration.  An interesting “snowflake” is Koch’s Snowflake, which is a fractal curve created by “starting with an equilateral triangle, then recursively altering each line segment as follows”:

  1. Divide the line segment into three segments of equal length.
  2. Draw an equilateral triangle that has the middle segment from step 1 as its base and points outward.
  3. Remove the line segment that is the base of the triangle from step 2.

     The fractal and recursive nature can be seen here:

     Another view here:

     Merry Christmas!

Union Dues Vs. Government Benefits

     Sometimes the cerebral incongruities of the left can be summed up simply:

     Indeed.

“Food Justice” Coming To New Jersey?

     Newark Mayor, and potential New Jersey Governor, Cory Booker has finished up the “SNAP Challenge.”  “SNAP,” refers to the “Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program,” i.e. food stamps/EBT cards. Indeed, this challenge has many more elected officials involved, including governors and mayors.

     For Cory Booker, though, it is a matter of “local and national food justice initiatives and policy that will ensure that everyone can enjoy the freedom to eat enough.”  While to many this sounds innocuous, it is really anything but.  The blogger zombie has laid out how “justice” has been turned into nothing more than a Progressive dogwhistle.

Pictured: “Food Justice”

     The first corruption of the word “justice” began with the Progressive’s mutation of St. Thomas Aquinas’ call for compassion for the less fortunate, to a call for a totalitarian redistribution of society to fit the left’s utopian fantasies. Continue reading →

“There Will Be Blood” In Michigan Over New Right To Work Law

     Michigan has now become the 24th “Right to Work” state.  This means that from now on, employees are free to join or otherwise support a union, or not, as they see fit.  Unions do not have to represent these non-union workers, but choose to do so because they then have a monopoly on representation of the workers.  This special privilege, though is not enough for the unions, who want to keep the power to force people to pay their “share” and thus forcibly require non-members to support them.  Michigan’s new “Right to Work” legislation empowers the workers and is a triumph for the 1st Amendment.

     However, the unions have not taken losing their special privileges lightly, and have become violent with promises of more violence.  All this ends up benefiting the real “1%”: The union bosses, who are more than happy to crush their members in order to declare victory and protect the union bosses elite status and income.

     The call to violence has been, and will likely continue to be, explicit.  State Representative, and union tool, Douglas Geiss went so far as to declare that “there will be blood.  We will relive the Battle of the Overpass.”

     The “Battle of the Overpass” that he referenced was a violent clash involving auto workers in 1937.

     His sentiments were not just his own, but that of the Michigan House Democrats which tweeted (and then deleted) this comment:

     Not to be outdone, Teamsters President Jimmy Hoffa, Jr. has predicted “civil war” will break out. Continue reading →

Obama’s Free Stuff Army – The Mob Rules

     From Obamaphones to enough contraceptives to sleep with the entire country of Lichtenstein (more than once), Obama’s coalition of beggars grow more emboldened to demand more and more.  When they don’t get it, they try to riot.

     It’s only a matter of time before they “redistribute” the property of the kulaks 1% non-parasites.  As the late Ronie James Dio said: “If you listen to fools, the mob rules.”

“Compassion” Under Socialist Healthcare: Dying “Like A Battery Hen”

     The husband of British MP Ann Clwyd, “died like a battery hen.”  The horrid conditions that people, especially babies, have to endure have already been touched upon here, but what her husband went through bears repeating here:

“I stopped one nurse in the corridor and asked why he was not in intensive care, and she said ‘there are lots of people worse than him’ and she walked on.

“I’d previously stopped another nurse, and asked when a doctor had last seen him, and I was just brushed aside and told a doctor had been to the floor but had not seen my husband but she said ‘we know what to do’.

“Well, I feel we know what to do meant ‘do nothing’.

“I’ve tried in the past to get bills on the welfare of battery hens. My husband died like a battery hen. He was six foot two, he was cramped, squashed up against the iron bars of the bed, an oxygen mask that didn’t fit his face, his eye was infected

“Because the air from the oxygen was blowing into it, his lips were very dry. I used my own lypsyl to try and moisten them. There were no nurses around.

“Just at eight o’clock, just before he died, all the lights of the ward went on, and somebody shouted ‘anybody for breakfast?’”

     What makes this to frightening is that the man who dies so horribly was the husband of a Member of Parliament.  If this is the care given to the well-connected, just think of what the average British commoner has to deal with! Continue reading →

The New Sexuality Comes Up Snake Eyes

     According to the left, you, dear reader, have a 90% chance of wanting to have sexual relations with someone of the same sex.  And now the Federal government wants to keep records of that, by recording what a persons sexual orientation is during the decennial Census.

     Kids are now being taught that 10% of people are full on homosexual and 80% are fully bisexual (according to the “research” of child-rape advocate Alfred Kinsey).  This leaves only 10% of people who are actually straight.  The left has gone so far as to try to ban people from convincing teens that they might not be gay after all, thus muzzling dissenting speech.  By convincing otherwise straight kids that they are really “bisexual,” you will have lost of heterosexual twenty-somethings proudly declare that they are 10% Bisexual on the Kinsey scale, and thus the left will be able to artificially inflate the numbers.  The census would then “confirm” those findings.

Time To Euthanize Detroit?

     In the movie “Revenge of the Nerds,” one of the nerds asked an interesting question: “Would you rather live in the ascendancy of a civilization or during its decline?” Alas, those who remain in Detroit know very well what the later is like.

     A Detroit councilwoman has declared that since Detroit voted for Obama, he is supposed to bail out the city.

     Aside from the fact that this is just an explicit and vocal declaration of how a welfare state with a large dependent population works, this is also an example of what happens when you run out of other people’s money: Decay on the order not seen since the fall of the Western Roman Empire.  In his “Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire,” Edward Gibbons described what became of Rome after the Western Empire fell Continue reading →

An American Fool Abroad… Ought To Just PARTY HARD?

     While many in America voted for Obama for free stuff or out of class/race/gender hatred, there are those who believe that an “internationally” minded President with a childhood free from that pesky American society and culture, via either Indonesian residency or being coddled domestically in the ivory towers of the pinkest satrapies, would be able to eschew all those evil American stereotype and act more like everyone else does to achieve some type of blissful consensus of the international community.

     Even as his “lead from behind” strategy draws belittlement at home, it is indeed seen favorably abroad.  This is not because the world leaders are glad that we can all come together is some glorious consensus and unity of mankind, but because they know that such drivel is idiotic, and that Obama is the idiot they get to play with like a cat with a mouse.

     The disconnect between the utopian international Progressive left in America and the realpolitik of practically every other nation on earth is so stark, that the American left still believes that Obama has successfully “hit the reset button” even as the world mocks and laughs at America.
