From The Democratic Party has lost its mind — and its soul (dated February 8, 2017):
... No president has ever had so few cabinet members confirmed at this late date, just as no president has been confronted with such open talk of assassination and impeachment.Read the rest HERE.
Speaking of which, have you heard a single Democrat decry the talk of assassination? Have you heard a single Democrat denounce the violence carried out by so-called protesters?
The answers are no and no because Dems see the riots and threats of violence as legitimate expressions of disapproval — and convenient for their purposes.
Their contribution to the “resistance” started when 70 Democrats boycotted Trump’s inauguration and many senators boycotted confirmation hearings and votes. Maybe they’ll soon throw rocks through windows....
Are you as worn out as much as I am with this nonsense?
Don't let these balkanizers get you down!

Brief excerpt:
..."You see, what I’m surprised by, just a smidgen, is that the liberal left that speaks and desires for all of us to be tolerant do not want to be tolerant of anyone that disagrees with where they are coming from,” Scott said after reciting the hateful messages.Read the rest and watch the video HERE.
“I just wish that my friends who call themselves liberals would want tolerance for all Americans, including conservative Americans,” he said.
If I'm in favour of tolerance, then of course I am opposed to intolerant policies and politicians who would enact them. Isn't that quite simple?
ReplyDeleteF' the police! ;p
DeleteMuch as we'd like it to be nothing in this area could be "simple," Jez, because of the problem we meet when asked –– or worse required –– to tolerate intolerance.
DeleteAs Shakespeare said, "Aye! There's the rub."
Even JESUS has His limits as to what He would and would not tolerate. ;-)
Jesus grabbed a whip, turned over tables and chased out the corrupt salesmen in the synagogue, telling them they made the place into a Den Of Thieves.
DeleteIt is simple: there's nothing about liberal tolerance which is at odds with opposing illiberal policies and politicians. The solution to "the problem we meet when asked ... to tolerate intolerance" is to refuse.
Delete...except when the origins of said "intolerance" comes from someone like BLM or has a (D) after his name. :)
DeletePunching Nazi's is your patriotic duty, soldier!
DeleteOnly after Congress declares war against them, jez. It's not up to an individual Corporal Antigone to declare a Nazi and punch. Everyone a Judge Dredd is more your speed. :)
DeleteA quote I saw somewhere this morning, regarding the Left, free speech and "tolerance":

Here's some serious intolerance (calling upon science?):
ReplyDeleteBlack Lives Matter Leader Says White People Are ‘Sub-Human’ and Suffer From ‘Genetic Defects’.
Excerpt:
...“Whiteness is not humxness, in fact, white skin is sub-humxn,” she wrote. “All phenotypes exist within the black family and white ppl are a genetic defect of blackness.”
She continued explaining her theory, claiming white people are lesser because “[they] have a higher concentration of enzyme inhibitors that suppress melanin production. They are genetically deficient because melanin is present at the inception of life.”
“Melanin enables black skin to capture light and hold it in its memory mode which reveals that blackness converts light into knowledge. Melanin directly communicates with cosmic energy,” she added.
Khogali then proclaimed: “White ppl are recessive genetic defects. This is factual.”
The Black Lives Matter leader then wondered how the white race could be wiped out. According to her, “Black ppl simply through their dominant genes can literally wipe out the white race if we had the power to.”
“Do you ever wonder how black ppl after centuries of colonial violence, genocide and destruction—no matter what systems created to make us extinct… How we keep coming back? It is because we are superhumxns,” she added.
This isn’t the first time the firebrand BLM Toronto chapter co-founder got into hot water....

I suspect "they" are making the classical error of thinking "Turnabout is fair play." After all, what White Men said of Negroes –– and American Indians and Hispanics, and even the Chinese who came to work establishing the railroads –– in the not-so-distant past was beyond "stupid." It was brutal and inhumane in the extreme, BUT such attitudes were based more on IGNORANCE, prejudiced ASSUMPTION and CUSTOM than on any innate viciousness endemic to Caucasians in particular.
DeleteI'm sure it harks back to our beginnings in ancient, pre-historic times.
Human beings are innately CLANNISH (TRIBAL) and tend to feel suspicious, resentful –– and FEARFUL –– of anyone who appears dramatically different in any way from the established norms to which their particular "tribe" has become accustomed.
If you've been able to rise above that sort of thing, more power to you, Jez, but your views are probably destined never to become widely accepted.
The problem with –– let us call them –– "The Enemies of Intolerance" is that THEY TOO become as clannish and overly self-regarding as any other group, and so take on too many of the very characteristics they claim they'd like to abolish.
I don't pretend to have a satisfactory answer to any of this, but at this point I've come to accept it as one of the natural consequences of being human. The only way to avoid it, would be to try very very hard never to become PART of it. No easy task given the nature of the beast.
FT,

Agreed!
Moses married a black woman and got mocked by his brother's wife. God then brought leprosy onto her, causing her to become extremely pale white. When Miriam repented of her racist attitude, God healed her. This BLM dimwit better learn before she gets something coming back to haunt her.
DeleteI'm slow to attribute malice, though probably not quite as slow as God is likely to act against this BLM spokesperson! My charitable reading of this nonsense would be that it is an overcorrection for the recent (and still pervasive in some quarters) assumption of white superiority.
DeleteJez,
DeleteThe overcorrection does nothing to foster better race relations.
I am dismayed to see this race relations going in circles.
No-one likes to see it going in circles, but I think it's plausible that it will improve over the next couple of generations... but only if relations between blacks and police improve. BLM is too important an opportunity to squander on nonsense such as the above quote.
DeleteNonosculare di Asini Bastardi-Sinestra said
DeleteRace relations will improve only if leftists develop a sense of humor, and everybody stops talking about racism, and gets on with the business of performing the much needed tasks that keep the globe from spinning off its axis and disintegrating into trillions of pieces of "space junk."
To repeat my comment on a previous thread:
ReplyDelete“Melanin enables black skin to capture light and hold it in its memory mode which reveals that blackness converts light into knowledge"
Yes, this is clearly on display in such places as: Chicago, Detroit and Sub Saharan Africa!
It's frustrating how much resistance our president has and is enduring. These radical Liberals have not even tried to give him a chance, and they attack without mercy or provocation.
ReplyDelete@ Leticia,
DeleteYes, it's a demonstration of little children who didn't get their own way. Liberalism is a mental illness which traps its victims into a state of perpetual immaturity! Let us pray that it doesn't spread.
Leticia, God chose Donald Trump to get us out of the mess we're in. 0bama has his judgement coming upon him and his family at the moment he least expects it, especially with his messing around with what God wants for us. God is waiting patiently for 0bama to change his attitude, in hopes that He doesn't need to punish 0bama and his family.
DeleteI see no end to this. The re-education program is in place and a new generation of borgs are being created.
ReplyDeleteBunkerville,
DeleteI'm glad that I'm as old as I am!
The writer is disingenuous at best.
ReplyDeleteWhining about resistance to an unqualified candidate like DeVos as if it's unwarranted is absurd.
The fringe right has cried crocodile tears over the fate of poor minority kids not having access to better schools for decades. They have accomplished nothing except injecting a profit motive into the issue.
DeVos is out to make a buck of the poor just as she did when she foisted for profit charter schools on Detroit. It was a disaster (for the kids, not for the pig DeVos).
The right has used race in a cynical fashion and pointing it out is not "playing the race card".
Ah, the delightful, FreeThinke checks in with his usual analytic depth.
DeletePlease tell us, Duck, how you've gone into the trenches and worked with minority kids.
DeleteQuackobyrd lays another rotten goose egg!
DeleteProfit motive? You mean government school teachers are doing it for free? Who knew?
DeleteThink before you quack
Well AOW, more than Betsy DeVos.
DeleteHer record in Detroit is public. She's nothing but a profiteer like her mercenary war profiteer brother.
For the "for profit" charter school movement to pretend they care about the students above profit is high cynicism.
The upside to all this is that the screaming maniacs on the left are repulsing the normals. The Demoncrat party will remain a boutique fringe movement far outside the mainstream thanks to them.
ReplyDeleteGo President Trump! MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
Sorry Nostradumbass, I simply see no difference between you scummy Progs and DeVos except that you Progs profit off the poor by dipping your money grubbing paws in the public trough and that the students involved in charter schools get an education and actually know how to write their name.
ReplyDeleteNow as a good little do bee Warren, I'm sure you can produce some data on the efficacy of chartered schools.
DeleteEverything I've seen points to no overall advantage.
Of course in this case we have Betsy the Profiteer pushing "for profit" charters. So why not check out what these monstrosities did to Detroit.
Touché!
DeleteNostradumbass mewed, "Now as a good little do bee Warren, I'm sure you can produce some data on the efficacy of chartered schools."
DeleteSorry, in case you haven't read anything I've written in the last 10 or so years; I'm not playing your stupid game. I won't go through the trouble of posting a link to something you won't read. You're merely a bomb thrower and the minute you are embarrassed or refuted you will disappear and pretend it didn't happen.
Your so-called education is left wanting and what you think you know is built on such a flimsy foundation that it makes you sound quite retarded when you carry on about things which you know nothing about but that which one of your "fellow travelers" has pasted on to you.
So as they say in England, Slag off swampy!
In other words, as usual, you have nothing.
DeleteDuck,
DeleteYou are living dangerously. Warren has full administrative powers at this blog, and I never overrule his decisions.
Warren's analysis is right on the bullseye, so I ask you once again: WHY do you continue to TOLERATE the irksome PRESENCE of this nettlesome, thoroughly disingenuous person whose sole purpose –– as boldly stated by himself –– has been "to cheese off the right wing?"
DeleteBy his own admission he has no higher purpose in life other than to make himself as obnoxious, irritating and debilitating as he possibly can to us Conservative Libertarians.
No one can REASON with him, and he does NOTHING but misrepresent the Truth by using selected facts or factoids to bolster his disingenuous taunts and jibes.
In short he is nothing but a Game Playing WASTE of TIME.
I've long believed he should be BANISHED, as he has been at Z's blog and at mine.
It would refreshing, enlivening and immensely heartening NOT to have to confront his Foul Fusillades of Fatuity any longer.
Well, FT, Duck has been banned from so many blogs that I feel somewhat sorry for him.
DeleteBesides, I don't have time to blogsit, and I hate using Comment moderation as the norm.
You and other commenters here are welcome to scroll right by Duck's comments. Whatever you do, don't let him "cheese" you "off."
And, now, back to grading papers.

Feel free to stop by and report his wacky antics to me anytime. The team members will be waiting for any juicy nuggets to lampoon any liberal.
DeleteWarren,
ReplyDeleteThe guy that you refer to as "Nostradumbass" seems to lend credence to the theory that there is, in fact, a "Parallel Universe". After all he is certain of his whackadoodle ideas which may work on some other planet; just not this one!
They work fine in Massachusetts.
DeleteNo nation scored statistically higher than Mass. on the reading portion of the PISA.
Singapore was the only country outperforming them in science.
They were in the top 10 in math.
They were well above the national average.
Charters aren't too popular here and we recently voted down a proposition to expand them.
We also have a strong teachers union.
Doing fine in this corner of the world.
While we're at it Berg, I've been hearing for some time that charters are going to develop new techniques that will improve achievement.
DeleteIt has been some time and I've read nothing about these new methods.
Surely you can name a few.
Massachusetts, investigative report on teachers cheating on standardized testing
DeleteCharter schools are very successful in various locations throughout the United States.
DeleteIn the case of Detroit, establishing charter schools was likely a case of too little, too late. Detroit has been "broken" for decades.
Well, clearly there are successful charters just as there are successful public schools.
DeleteI think it's important to distinguish between "for profit" charters which have a real shady record and other charters.
DeVos wants to grease the skids for "for profit" charters at the expense of public schools. Just an income transfer but since it is from working class to the wealthy the right gives it their blessing.
Go figure.
"They work fine in Massachusetts." (?)
ReplyDeleteDo [you] represent Massachusetts?
No, Jon, he represents ASSACHEWSHITS. Can't you tell?
Delete];^}>
JB, no they don't "work fine". The State restricts the number of them and has since their inception in 1996. They raised the numbers in 2000 and 2010 and vote to increase them again this fall (no doubt against the mega dollar scare tactics of the teachers unions). As of right now there are 81. For the last several years waiting lists exceed enrollment. Somehow I doubt that's because of their "inferior" education performance compared to public schools.
DeleteInformation about their scholastic rankings compared to public schools seems mysteriously hard to find even in purported "news" items about them.
The little blurp about teachers cheating standardized tests is an ongoing thing and you can find accounts of it in The New York Times going back to the beginning of 2000.
Reality requires us to take Nostradumbasses' rankings with a truck load of salt.
In other words, there is a reason I call him Nostradumbass.
We should not be niggardly with our language so that we never darken our reputation with black humor.
