Required reading

This is why I generally consider myself a "Goldwater Conservative" if I really need a label.

There is no gay spokesperson for this nefarious gay lobby seeking the destruction of the Republic by making everyone gay or something. We’re very TEA Party in that regard. No leader, no organization. We just sort of go door to door, picking up the sons (mostly) and daughters who you throw out as so much garbage while accusing us of being anti-family.

Apologies from the management

I realize that posting has been light recently, and that most of said posts have been little more than references to Stuff You Should Check Out elsewhere on the intartubez. In my defense, work has been kicking my ass lately. My work weeks for the last month or two have basically had me living on a near-exclusive diet of coffee, Mountain Dew, Talk Radio and speedmetal. This should be resolved soon, either by a change in schedule or my upcoming psychotic breakdown, whichever happens first.

In the meantime, I'm going to try and compose the thoughts I've been having the past couple of days regarding the Left(you're stunned, I'm sure). They might even appear in some sort of coherent order, but I assure you this is most likely due to random chance.

Common sense

Daddy Bear haz it.

This is actually an older post, brought up by a current post. When sections of America are literally being designated 'no-man's-land' because of the actions of foreign invaders, I don't think it's too much of a stretch to consider ourselves at war.

Satire:

Almost a lost art in today's world, except for this spectacular take on the RHR at The People's Cube. (Picture-intense; dial-up users click before you leave for work and it should be halfway loaded by Monday evening.)

Taiwanimation

I'm not really fond of outsourcing, especially when our country's unemployment rate is at these levels. But whoever's doing these little shorts definitely has their finger on the pulse of America.

Taqiyya--the art of the lie

This is what makes dealing with Islam very problematic for Judeo-Christian cultures. Our respective views regarding truthful speech differ greatly.

The Arabs have a story which exemplifies subtle, semantic dissimulation (taqiyya) perfectly. Legend has it that Mohammed’s nephew, son-in-law and future Caliph, Ali, was sitting on a stool outside his dwelling when one of his allies ran red-faced and gasping into the village and hid in Ali’s home. Perceiving that the man was being pursued, Ali promptly got up and sat on another nearby stool. A few minutes later, a group of angry pursuers ran into the encampment and asked Ali if he had seen the man they were pursuing. Ali responded with the statement “AS LONG AS I HAVE BEEN SITTING ON THIS STOOL I HAVE SEEN NO ONE.”

Blogroll Update, Part Etc

Please welcome an obvious egomaniac to the Blogroll: nooneofanyimport. Great stuff, but absolutely no modesty there at all.

You go, girl!

I have got to see this movie when it comes out.

Stereotypes

We all know the popular conception of the Deep South as a place of inbred, sister-bangin', queer-bashin', ignorant redneck hick hayseed jerkwads.

I have been all over this country, and I've found the Deep South to be a wonderful, hospitable, caring and all-around American place. I try my best to spread the word to everyone I know that the South is not the way it's been portrayed.

Aaaand then...someone has to come along and set the image back about a century. (eyeroll)

Atheists: We don't all march in lockstep

My favorite atheist comedian, Pat Condell, takes other atheists to task for becoming dhimmis in the name of Political Correctness.



Tolerance is one thing. I've learned to not only tolerate but admire many of my fellow Christian and Jewish Americans. But, when tolerance is a one-way street, there arises a significant problem. Tolerating those who won't tolerate you, will ultimately lead to your destruction.

Mr. Condell is an Englishman, and is well aware of the dangers of the Jihadist dominion that is becoming all too prevalent on the eastern side of the pond. You might want to listen to his voice above those who know not whereof they speak.
