Happy Friday afternoon! Thanks to everyone who pinch hit for me in this slot this week. I was in Detroit all week. I think I saw about 10 minutes of blue sky in five days. How does anyone live like that? Ugh. And then my youngest threw up at daycare. Went and picked him up, and the first thing he did when I literally picked him up in the classroom? Put his hands over my mouth. So it looks like I’m going to lose five pounds on the fashion model diet over the next 36 hours.
Somehow, the defeat of anti-semitic socialists heralds the ascent of Nazism in Britain. I’m confused about how being an international anti-semitic socialist is qualitatively better than the national brand, but I just report what I see.

Why is Huckabee the way that he is?
Generations of inbreeding?
You really can’t beat this explanation.
Mule kicked in the head?

Didn’t get the Primus job, never got over it….
Expand on this point
He’s a bass player. Sort of.
Slow burn on that fuse, but the explosion once I figured out what the hell was going on was worth it.
Yes. Kudos to Yusef.
He’s actually a racecar driver.
Drove so goddamned fast
Did Les Claypool ever get to play with Ted Nugent?
Why would he, He’s a great band, well him and Larry Lalonde
I’ve met those guys once. One of my childhood friends had a girlfriend at the time who was buddies with their old drummer, Herb.
He’s currently playing with Julian Lennon. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XcOHiGonWwU

You mean fucking with markets?
It’ll work this time for sure
Thought my shitty week was over, but my wife called to tell me the dog’s ultrasound found several masses on either his spleen or liver on top of being severely anemic (and his PCV levels dropping rapidly since we had him at the vet on Wednesday), so I think we’re going to be putting him down tonight. Whee. 13 years old, had him since he was an 8 week old puppy.
Sorry, JB.
Thanks. I’ve known this was probably coming, so I’ve been preparing myself, but it’s still rough. Worried more about how the kid reacts though
How old is the kid?
10
Yep. That’s old enough to have to explain what’s going on. Just be honest. She’ll be ok.
It sucks but you can’t protect them from it. Just tell her the truth, let her say goodbye and let her cry all she needs to. Mortality is a lesson we all learn too young.
God, I’m sick to my stomach thinking about it, I’m so sorry….
Big part of having a dog is going thru this.
You have my sympathy.
We lost Lily and Tucker this last year.
Aw shit.
Sorry, JB.
Sorry to hear that JB. ☹️
🙁
Sorry 🙁
I’m really sorry, JB. That’s always a hard thing to go through.
Canine liver cancer is bad news. Lost our older dog to it last year. They don’t show symptoms until it’s so advanced that nothing can be done. She was 13 as well. Deepest sympathies, man.
Sorry JB.
Be with him at the end. It’s the last thing you as pack leader can do for him. Tell him he’s a good boy as he slips away. I’ve had to do that a couple of times, and my pups always seemed to relax just a little bit more.
Then I bawled my eyes out.
Good luck and God Bless.
^ this ^ all of this ^
Lot of dust in the air here.
Sorry. Just went through that with Jusgsy’s doge about a month ago. Similar timeframe- she had hers since she was a 3 month old, and she got the shot at 13.
Raises TALL CANS!
So sorry.
Uffda. So sorry to hear that JB.
Sorry. That really sucks.
I’m really sorry, JB.
That’s awful. I am so sorry, but FWIW, I think you’re doing the right thing. No use letting him suffer because it kills the humans to let go.
Sorry to hear that.
That’s rough JB, i’m sorry to hear it.
Damn. That sucks bad. Got a picture of the pup? What’s his name? I like to know who I’m drinking to.
So sorry to hear that JB, loosing a pet is a terrible feeling. But 13 years is a good run, I’m sure he had a great life with you and your family.
Hardest damn thing in the world to do. Stay strong. What a fucking world. Screw war and taxes. God needs to explain why dogs dont live as long as us.
So sorry you and your family have to go through that. I’m a wreck when my pet’s die – seems to hit me harder than losing a sibling. Something about a pet grows on you and then they’re gone.
I’ll say a silent toast to your pup tonight.
Awww, Juve, I’m so sorry. It’s the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do. Three times. And yes, what BEAM said. Be there to be the last thing your wonderful pup ever sees and smells.
This was shared by one of the glibs* when I had to put my dog down before a Halloween, it helped.
Another Perspective
*Sorry, didn’t record who and don’t remember. Thank you whoever you are.
Sorry for your loss.
Sorry, JB. We just put my wife’s dog of 14+ years down, a Frenchie. What a sweet guy, but man, it does sting. It’s okay, though. They make us better and teach us how to love. It’s right that we should mourn that loss for a little while.
That’s awful JB. Sorry buddy.

Did HotAir go down the NeverTrump train? I stopped reading there years ago, so i’m not sure. Thought they would have been all abord the “Screw the Left” style.
Allahpundit is still TDS, but the rest are pretty generic, I go there daily fwiw,
Allahpundit isn’t TDS necessarily. He just doesn’t like Trump, which is fine. TDS is a very specific brain disease and I cannot stress enough that it is very much real and its effects are very much debilitating on the brain.
The warning signs of TDS are (a) a smug lack of self-awareness; (b) contradicted beliefs once held prior to 2016; (c) believing that neocons are the “good conservatives”, and (d) inhaling FBI dick
Don’t cheapen the lolz of watching someone succumb to TDS
Not seeing how any of those don’t apply to AP.
Here’s a test that often draws out TDS sufferers: if one still believes the Russia conspiracy then they likely suffer from TDS. Allahpundit, to his credit, dropped the Russia Fever Dreaming after the Comey report and recognized that the IG report made the entire conspiracy fanciful
“The author, William Mattox, argued that we need to do more to deter dubious partisan-driven impeachments and found inspiration in how the NFL handles challenges. In football, you’re allowed to demand that a questionable call be reviewed — but if the call stands, you lose a timeout. You’ve got skin in the game, in other words, an efficient way to discourage teams from trivial time-wasting challenges. Mattox wants impeachment to operate the same way by making the president eligible for an additional term if he’s impeached but the Senate fails to remove him.”
Calvin Ball!
No, they’re full on for the “Trump is the god king who can do no wrong” side of the GOP.
Shaw might be that (I don’t go there much anymore) but Allahpundit is pretty hardcore Never Trump, and Morrissey (as always) is kind of in the squishy middle – he would do a lot of harrumphing about how bad Trump is but never completely turns on him.
I am not sure SugarFree has 8.5 more years of Hat and Hair material.
If not, real life will supply it.
There will probably be a lot to inspire him.
But remember, he supplements the main H&H with the extended universe, and if the past few years are any indication that will only grow. I think he’ll have enough material to write it until he’s sick of it, or until reality outpaces his dark prophecies.
I think you are all misinterpreting what Swiss is saying here. Do you think writing stories that provide a brief, yet entertaining window into the abysmal flatulence of our nation’s elected, and unelected helmsmen takes no toll on Sugarfree in terms of mind, body, and soul?
I’ll have you know, it does.
There are some days I can barely even look at a keyboard without shuddering.
Sometimes. I find Sugarfree staring at me when I wake up. He’ll tell me he hears Hillary cackling in the dark. Its troubling, all of it.
That’s the downside of actually knowing him. You can have that visual as you try to close your eyes and it doesn’t go away.
There are some days I can barely even look at a keyboard without shuddering.
What are you doing with your hands?
That’s a given, but considering the unmatched level of acute horror he achieves with his Subaru stories I just naturally assumed that he had already made a deal with the Elder Gods and any additional toll would be akin to adding drops of water to the ocean.
Nah. Those are mostly the result of a tea he drinks.
I’m not sure that the walls between our Universe and Cthulhu’s can stand 8.5 years of SugarFree. I love this place, but when we are all screaming in the pit of despair after SF breaks that wall I am absolutely kicking him.
You don’t read Hot Air, do you?
Only when it’s linked here. Just the vibe I got, especially from that article. Could be wrong.
It depends whose article it is, but generally I’d say it’s more in the “mixed conservative” bag. Sexton and Shaw are probably the most pro-Trump, but Allahpundit and Morrissey far less so. The most pro-Trump conservative publication is either Townhall or American Greatness. Hot Air is far more mainstream conservatisim with a large helping of Trump criticism, especially in the evening when Allahpundit does the bulk of the articles
Deeper production cuts by the cartel and other major producers including Russia won’t be enough to prevent a global supply glut, the International Energy Agency said Thursday.
what i think is hillarious is that we are still to believe that the Gas Lines of the 70’s was due to OPEC scheming, and now, somehow they just cant get it right anymore.
Irrational response leading to unintented consequences,
We had odd numbered plates…..
I thought an unintented consequence was when you got eaten by a bear because you wanted to sleep outside and look up at the stars.
Dad got the Econoline so he could have it registered with commercial plates and avoid the gas lines, and then fixed up the inside with bench seats that could be folded down into a bed for when we went camping. (Mom and Dad slept in the van; us kids got the tents/sleeping bags.)
So you’ve talked to my mom?
Before you watch the video below, remember that the Conservative Party came to a historic majority by winning traditional working class Labour voters. Labour did best in the wealthy parts of London. So consider that while watching antifa riot in London. These are rich kids upset, because the poors won’t vote the way that they say is best for them. Keeping that in mind makes this video so much more hilarious.

Trust fund kids cosplaying revolutionaries is peak 2019.
Comrade, Democracy can not stop the impending will of the people for socialism!
Also, the will of the people just so happens to not be the will of the people, which is inconvenient for socialists throughout the West
It’s false consciousness. Once socialists take over they workers will be freed from being forced to think as the capitalists force them to.
Well done
Of…over, same diff.
The working class has no time to protest because they are busy working.
It does appear now that the Conservatives didn’t win quite as many seats as the early count suggested last night. Still a very solid win.
Also the Libertarian Party received fewer votes than the Animal Welfare Party. OTOH the Monster Raving Loony Party got about 10k votes.
They wound up three seats short of what the exit poll suggested.
To be fair, the Cons won what I believe are the wealthiest parts of London – Chelsea, Kensington, Westminster, etc. Probably “old money” Tories.
So consider that while watching antifa riot in London.
If antifa keeps it up, it may be time for a new Iron Front.

“I’m happy you’re glad.” — The Happiness Patrol (1988)
Ooh, fake Doctor Who can do more thinly disguised Boris Johnson storylines just like Happiness Patrol!
“can do” and did plenty of it in New 11 (or if you prefer series 48) or whatever you want to call Jodie W’s part of the past 851 stories.
Once again, I feel glad I gave up somewhere in Tenant era and now blot out the entire revival. JNT is looking better all the time.
I checked out in the middle of Capaldi. Eccleston and Tennant are fondly remembered now in comparison.
I didn’t blame Capaldi, I blamed the writers. IMO, they gave him shit to work with. With better writers, he could have been enjoyable.
” JNT is looking better all the time.”
After escaping that riot, then go to another part of the convention and ask, “Who’s the best superhero?”
Yep.
I thought he was a very good doctor in the few very good stories they gave him.
I like Capaldi.
However, I lost interest right before Season 10 and Bill, and never went back to it. I watched a couple of minutes of the Girl Who and had about all the wokishness I could take, so I haven’t been back at all, not even to get Capaldi’s whole last season.

Huh. I have a certificate here that David Keller is an registered asshat from Asshats International. I didn’t even need to go to an obviously scam website to do it either.
Bees gotta be, ya know,
Does Keller (don’t know how David Keller self-identifies) still count as one if Keller did it to make a point about scam service dog registrations?
Since there’s no such thing as service dog registration, nor is it necessary for the legal requirements of a service dog, then yes. Besides, nothing I can do about the paper I printed from Word. It’s all official. He’ll need to take it up with Asshats International.
SLD: ADA and related are abominations and Bush Sr should be toasty right now for that and the import ban EO.
Not arguing, but asking, which executive order ranks in your top two for worst that “Bush Sr” did in office?
I’ve been mistaken, the import ban wasn’t an EO. It was an administrative decision. Also, fuck Bill Bennett with a rusty immoral chainsaw.
https://www.nytimes.com/1989/03/15/us/us-bans-imports-of-assault-rifles-in-shift-by-bush.html
Back to your original question, not sure. Lots to dislike about Bush Sr, but other than my mistaken belief the import ban was one of them, not familiar with the rest.
Some choice quotes:
Without Bennett (and Babs) pushing him, and LaPierre giving him cover, I wonder if he would have done it.
Meant ADA and import ban as your two for his worst.
At least the two that come to my mind. Both have had long term pernicious effects long after he’s been out of office. Desert Storm/Iraq maybe as another.

The undertaker was a little heavy with the make-up, though.
She looks like Martin Short in that picture.
This is what I see.
I see nothing when I click on the Hillary link. My brain refuses to register it.
JESUS LORD! “Wrinkle Free complexion?” Yeah, in 2 obvious spots.
Holy fucking bejeebus! That photo is a nightmare not even SF could conjure up! Youthful? WTF? She looks like Yoda’s twin sister!
Apparently the necronomigenetic treatments included chipmunk genes that have run amok. Perhaps the deteriorated and faded remnants of the life energy she sucked out of her surroundings interacted with necronomigenetic manipulations to cause this.
We’ll have to wait and see what happens when she bites someone.
She’s running. I’ve been telling you guys this for years.
You’re probably right!
Dragged almost across the finish line again, with one shoe off?
I was saying that right after Trump’s election. But I doubt it now, her health is too bad.
The body is just a vessel; Her self-regard is stronger than ever.
You’re running out of time on this prediction.
I think SF could be right; everyone already knows her and what she ‘stands for’. She’s getting a lot of free press right now being out and about. It wouldn’t surprise me if fairly soon there’s a (spontaneous) trial balloon pool asking potential D voters ‘if HRC jumped in right now, would that change your choice?’
Not going to work. The far left hate her, she’s not woke enough. Her health is also abysmal to the point that she couldn’t even come as close as she did before of withstanding a grueling campaign. I’m sure she wants to lose for a 3rd time, but she won’t be able to do it this time.
I think that big bulge she used to (maybe still does?) carry around is a colostomy bag.
She’s already been in a few polls IIRC.
They just did that poll at Harvard. Something like 80% wanted Her to join the primary.
There have been so many trial balloons about her entering the race, they darken the sky.
Of course Harvard wants Hillary.
One might believe they created her in some dank basement underneath the politics department by pouring the blood of freshmen into the grooves between the pavers.
Ah, I missed the polls about HC joining. And if you’re right about the trial balloons (again, missed them), I’d say it’s probably pretty close to her ‘reluctant’ announcement. Probably waiting/hoping for a Biden gaffe too big to ignore.
Yup. Biden keels over or starts yelling “Corn Pop, Corn Pop” for a solid hour on the Today Show, and Hillary steps in as the “reasonable” candidate, centrist, not like those looney lefties Warren and Bernie, and she beat Trump by 3,000,000 votes last time, you know!

More lie shambling.
But increasingly I fear you are correct.

Too bad Bill isn’t a younger man. Then he would have been able to spray more of Hillary’s face with his magical youth cream.
She looks very youthful.
If that youth has progeria and a wig.
*sigh*
When are women going to realize that artificial youthfulness just makes them look worse and seem pathetic to boot?
Michelle Pfeiffer’s lips are not reproducible with fillers. Nor are Angelina Jolie’s cheekbones.
Nicole Kidman mutilated her face.
So did Meg Ryan.
Cher and Joan Rivers did okay.
Hillary was never beautiful, was never going to be beautiful. She was, at one time, pretty (although she needed a better stylist). If you aren’t beautiful at 30, you’re not going to be beautiful at 70 no matter how much filler you use. Let the makeup do the heavy lifting and accept your face.
Some men could use lessons in aging gracefully too. I found a snapshot of Joe Biden during a recent visit to the salon. SMDH
Cher and Joan Rivers did okay.
Can’t tell if serious. That said, I don’t much go for the skeletal starlet look.
Neither Joan Rivers nor Cher were trying to do anything but BE plastic. They took pride in their surgeries, flaunted them, made it their schtick.
And neither of them ever looked as bad post-surgery as Nicole Kidman and Meg Ryan.
Let’s not forget Dolly.
She was never pretty.
She was on the upside of plain, unlike Webb Hubble’s daughter, and even she’s presentable after good makeup and a hair iron.
That’s just really . . . not right at all.
But it is the last piece of evidence needed that, yes, Herself is indeed
runningwaddlingbeing tossed into the race like a sack of potatoes.And yes, I will admit I thought she wouldn’t make it this long.
Being tossed into? You think she actually needs any prodding to get the chance to seize power? IMHO, She’s only been waiting this long b/c she knows the D candidates’ primary is a dumpster fire, and at some point she’ll be ‘asked’ to jump in.

“Somehow, the defeat of anti-semitic socialists heralds the ascent of Nazism in Britain. I’m confused about how being an international anti-semitic socialist is qualitatively better than the national brand, but I just report what I see.”
I don’t know about anyone else, but I am greatly enjoying the humiliation of Commie Corbyn. I’m also going to enjoy Merkel and her band of merry unelected Bureaucrats in Brussels squirming around trying to figure out how to deal with losing the 2nd largest economy in the EU. Better figure out how to squeeze even more out of your already overburdened tax payers, Merkel.
Merkel has a new propsal. Depeer integration under Germany. Also she wishes to be called by the name “Leader” or “My Leader”
Maybe she can write an autobiography about her struggle to do so.

Andrew Sullivan, a prominent blogger and close watcher of British and American elections, was even more blunt about What It All Means. He tweeted:
“One lesson from the UK: if the Democrats don’t stop their hard-left slide, they’ll suffer the same fate as Labour. If they don’t move off their support for mass immigration, they’re toast. Ditto the wokeness. Left Twitter is not reality.”
So, how fair are those comparisons? Let’s dig in!
——-
But for US Democrats to dismiss the overwhelming victory for Johnson and Conservatives would be a major mistake. Corbyn, during the course of the campaign, sought to make the election about a much broader swath of issues — pushing decidedly liberal, government-involved solutions for the economic and other problems in the country. As New York magazine’s Jon Chait wrote of the results:
“The British election results, like any election results, are the result of unique circumstances and multiple factors. They are also, however, a test of a widely articulated political theory that has important implications for American politics. That theory holds that Corbyn’s populist left-wing platform is both necessary and sufficient in order to defeat the rising nationalist right. Corbyn’s crushing defeat is a decisive refutation.”
——-
Of course, it’s in those candidates’ political interest to see what happened Thursday in the UK as directly correlated to what Democrats may be in danger of doing here if they choose one of the more liberal candidates as the party’s nominee. But it’s hard to totally ignore what happened in the UK. Democrats would be foolish to do so.
It’s a fluke. Totally not relevant. Keep hard to port. Full sail. There are no rocks. That is not a reef.
There are many in the DNC who would like this to be a warning to steer clear of Bernie and Warren. Problem is that Biden is a non-starter. I don’t see him winning against trump. Not in the state of mental decay he is in.
It’s the entire party. The party is now completely owned and controlled by the far left racial wing. And there is no going back. The left can never admit they are wrong or make adjustments, because that would completely destroy their world view that they are right and on the right side of history. So, here’s what I predict. Trump wins again in 2020 and the GOP keeps the Senate. The dems keep the house, but by a smaller margin. The democrats then interpret this as a sign that they have not moved far enough left and so they move even harder left. In 2024, the GOP regains control once again of Congress and the Whitehouse, and the Courts. The democrats see this as a sure sign that they have not moved far enough left, so they move even farther left.
You missed the part where the Concession Party misses delivering speeches and slits their own throat. Or picks some stupidly unpopular position and makes it their centerpiece. Or gets caught helping themselves to the grifting and grafting that’s available. Or all of the above.
“Or picks some stupidly unpopular position and makes it their centerpiece.”
I’m pretty sure they’re past that point. I mean, completely open borders and wrecking the economy with unrealistic socialist dreams like a new green deal? Yeah, they already went there.
Talking about the GOP. Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
They are especially good at doing just that.
Incoming constitutional amendment to ban porn in 3… 2… 1…
At the start of it all I was sure Biden was their golden ticket, but so far he seems less and less so. Their best chance might be going with someone like Buttigieg (sp?) or Yang.
None of them can beat Trump. Biden was their best chance, but that’s over with. They probably could have kept it close, but now I just do not see that happening. Buttigieg (how to you even pronounce that?) is disqualified by his name only, and none of them have any name recognition at all. They’re also giving Trump a great boost with this impeachment fiasco.

Perfect, I was trying to figure out how to describe that, bravo.

“A lot of my followers are kids who ask me how to deal with being BULLIED..
My answer is not PC: Learn how to fight. The only way bullies left me alone when I was in school was fighting back.
Don’t ever let anyone put their fucking hands on you. PERIOD!! ”

I say give every kid a .22 revolver.
Absolutely correct.
This, not the revolver, stand up,
/ Skinny red head
Some kids tried to bully me when I was in school too. I don’t know how to describe it without sounding like an Internet Tough Guy but when I described it to my mom she snorted milk out of her nose.
Actually, I take that back. I was almost-bullied four times. I was shy and quiet and one of the weird kids and I guess people mistook that for being an easy to bully.
My take away is that bullies are really bad at geometry.
One of my friends name Beaver* was almost bullied too. Beaver was 6’6″ in 9th grade, lived on a farm, and looks like he stepped out of one of Animal’s photos.
I went to school with a lot of really fucking stupid bullies. But yes, kicking their ass does help.
*Its because he looked like a beaver
It’s really funny when bullies try to bully people twice their size.
I was bullied in first grade, but so were all my friends and pretty much anyone in first grade at that time.
The way it worked was, there would be recess and you would venture onto the playground, which was a very dangerous place for an inexperienced little tyke like you would have been. Then the bullies would find you. They’d take your lunch money or else you’d probably wind up face down in the nearest mud puddle and you’d still be out of your lunch money. These were 7th, 8th graders, because back then, there was no such thing as Jr. High. To us, those kids were huge scary almost adults.
One day, me and my 2 friends concocted a plan to put a stop to it. I don’t know how we came up with such a stupid plan, but we were first graders. I would get up on the bottom of the slide and wait in ambush, while they would hang out in front of the slide and when they came up to get our money, I would jump off on one of them and then my friends would beat them up.
So as I waited on the bottom of the slide in ambush and our bully friends approached, I was just about ready to jump onto one of them, when one of my female classmates (I’m pretty sure she was the one I would tie her pigtails to her chair) came down the slide and knocked me off, and I landed on my belly, wind completely knocked out of me. I then lay there helpless while my friends made a brave attempt to show these bullies a lesson, and got the shit beaten out of them.
After that, they didn’t stop taking out lunch money, but they seemed to have a newfound respect for us and made us their toadies, so we would help them find unfortunate first grade victims and sometimes, they would even share enough with us that we could afford lunch, and they would even protect us from the other bully gangs.
True story, one of those things you never forget.
Did you attend elementary school in SingSing? Geez!
We called it Ohio back then. You must be one them whippersnappers. Get off my lawn!
Biden, is that you?
One of the bullies name was not Corn Pop.
Re: UK Elections
I found it amusing that the Monster Raving Loony party won 10,000 votes while the Libertarian party won only 2,000. The UK Libertarian party does have a better animal symbol (Griffin, FTW!) than their American counterparts. I can only assume that the Loony party are the ones who provided those jokers who wore the costumes on the candidates stage Boris gave his victory speech from.
It’s good to see at least 10,000 englishmen exist.

It would be nice if there was anon-retarded christian conservative out there.
I have things to say about that, but they are not kind, so I will not.
Say them. It is ridiculous that only the worst represent Christianity
I had a big long thing typed out, but realized that Christians are no more or less retarded than any other largely authoritarian/tyrannical ideology.
It boils down to this: Human nature is such that we want to control others’ behavior to conform to our idea of what is “right” or for our own personal advantage.
Christians are just as authoritarian and tyrannical as progressives, and they believe they are just as righteous and justified.
Both have warboners when it suits their needs. Both are copsuckers when it suits their needs.
MOST people are not comfortable with other people doing things they don’t approve of and therefore want laws to make those other people stop doing those things.
Progressives have their screaming harpies. Christians have theirs. Screaming harpies become the face of any large population.
So after some thought, I really don’t have anything more awful to say about Christian conservatives than I do about progressive socialists. I’m just more bitter about Christian conservatives because I have been part of that population and I expected better, and got bitter when my expectations were not met.
Well. I guess that was a replacement big thing I typed out.
Clive Staples Lewis is a better face for Christendom than Mike Huckabee.
Nope. Christians aren’t as authoritarian or tyrannical as progressives. Nobody is in fact.
Dignity, logic, and intelligence don’t make anybody the face of anything if they don’t have a microphone or a pulpit.
They are.
They just do not have the wherewithal to enforce the laws they would put into place.
If they had the power of pop culture the way the left does, they would use it as a bludgeon the way the left does.
Nearly 70% of Americans are Christian — the lowest number in history — yet atheists, Jews, and Muslims still seem perfectly free to me.
They are some seriously lousy authoritarians.
I’m with Urthona on this one.
Christians had the power of pop culture and almost 100% control for a long time, yet somehow the USA didn’t turn out like the CCCP/Khmer Rouge/Nazi Germany/Great Leap Forward.
Give the progressives total control and I doubt we will fare as well.
That is not an exoneration of everything the Christians allowed on their watch, just a comparison of the two.
I’ll take that a step further and point out that all the libertarian/leftist ranting about the evil Christfags boils down to “They didn’t approve of me, and on occasion did bad things to a gay guy”. (let me be clear, I am NOT excusing the Christian inspired laws against and punishment of homosexuality, this is probably the one thing that keeps me from becoming a Christian, and I sincerely think it is an evil perpetrated in the name of God). The Inquisition, which was probably the height of Christian oppression, killed fewer people in its century than the socialist religions killed in a day.
Hey I’m not Christian and don’t think they’re perfect. I’m just saying it’s easy to say everyone’s the same. Everyone’s not the same. Christianity dominated most of our country’s history and we are still one of the freest places on Earth.
I will concede that Christianity is not as authoritarian as the left, since the left’s end point is true evil and Christianity only had spots of true evil here and there throughout history.
I was thinking more in the short term and things my protestant friends have said to me in the heat of an argument about what people should and should not be allowed to do, which has been pretty horrifying.
I have things to say about that, but they are not kind, so I will not.
I’ll say my portion… Your average Christian these days has the theological maturity of a 12 year old… And it’s that way by design.
When your worldview is dumbed down to a 7th grade level, it has downstream effects on your politics, among other things.
That said, I don’t see this as unique to Christianity, but it’s particularly disappointing given the intellectual history of the faith.
Well…I don’t know. The intellectuals kept the people from being able to read so they could keep them in the dark and tell them how to think. It really never got enough better than that to say there was a theologically literate Christian populace.
I can’t say I’ve ever really met an average Mormon or Baptist who really delved into theology and lived it. Party lines are so easy to memorize and rules are easy to follow. Now, that’s not all bad. People are busy surviving. Often, theology and life in the trenches don’t seem to connect at all.
I’ve met theologians professional and amateur, but relatively rarely. I do end up formatting ebooks for amateur theologians and they are interesting. An episcopal theology seminary is a client of mine and I read their stuff and it resonates.
Generally speaking, though, those people are few and far between.
So in my mind,
has been going on for, well, centuries.
All I know is that Joel Osteen said I was going to be rich,
Also, weren’t you working on a post about the state of the modern church?
I can’t say I’ve ever really met an average Mormon or Baptist who really delved into theology and lived it.
Baptists tend to be the anti-intellectual sect of Protestantism, and their Calvinist roots make them prone to a somewhat rigid world view. As for Mormons, good people, not a very intellectually robust theology.
I grew up Baptist.
It was intellectually stifling at best.
Crap. Don’t know what happened there.
You wouldn’t consider the US during/after The Great Awakening a theologically literate society?
Re Mormonism not being a very intellectually robust theology…
It is no more or less ridiculous than a generic Christian sky daddy who grants wishes if you’re good.
No more or less ridiculous than transubstantiation.
No more or less ridiculous than any belief in a place of eternal torment for the sin of being born in the wrong place or wrong time.
What I like about Mormonism (note the phrasing) is that it’s proactive, not reactive. You are born saved, so asking Jesus into your heart as your personal savior is not necessary.
What you are working toward is becoming a god, not working to keep yourself out of a place of eternal torment OR to collect jewels in your crown and a chichi zip code in heaven. I no more want to spend eternity singing praises to God than I do in a burning lake of fire.
Gimme something to do, man.
I would, but that is a very tiny blip of time and it was not sustainable.
Is the US form of government as it was envisioned sustainable? No. It was a good 250 years while it lasted.
Humans gonna human.
Also, weren’t you working on a post about the state of the modern church?
Yup. I should do that.
Work has been nuts since September. Hopefully I can find the time over the next couple weeks.
The intellectuals kept the people from being able to read so they could keep them in the dark and tell them how to think.
I don’t think it was nearly that conspiratorial or universal. Universal literacy wasn’t even a concept until hundreds of years later. It’s really dicey to attribute broad malice to something (broad illiteracy) that was not only the norm, but the nearly exclusive reality until 150 years ago.
😉 I can’t decide if I want tonight to be my Mormonism fight night, because I am drinking and I like all the Mormons here. I’ll say this, whatever Mormonism is or isn’t, it is not Christian.
I believe in one God,
the Father almighty,
maker of heaven and earth,
of all things visible and invisible.
I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ,
the Only Begotten Son of God,
born of the Father before all ages.
God from God, Light from Light,
true God from true God,
begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father;
through him all things were made.
For us men and for our salvation
he came down from heaven,
and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary,
and became man.
For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate,
he suffered death and was buried,
and rose again on the third day
in accordance with the Scriptures.
He ascended into heaven
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory
to judge the living and the dead
and his kingdom will have no end.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,
who proceeds from the Father and the Son,.
who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified,
who has spoken through the prophets.
I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church.
I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins
and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead
and the life of the world to come. Amen.
“Humans gonna human.”
That’s why I consider faith and religion to be two separate things.
That’s nice and all, but you don’t get to decide that.
No the Council of Nicea did, hence the creed I copied. You cannot claim to be a Christian and deny the special divinity of Christ. It is the defining element of Christianity. This does not make your faith untrue, or invalid, it just means that it’s claim to being a Christian faith is denied by all other Christian faiths and the creed they universally accept.
I’m going to drop this because I am being a jerk. It is not my place to question anyone’s beliefs when I do not know what my own are. Forgive me please. I am drunk and being foolish.
See, I’m not sure where Christianity ever got the idea that we deny Christ’s divinity.
Christ is the son of God and died on the cross for our sins and will come again, bind Satan, and judge us all in the last days.
Which part of that denies Christ’s divinity?
. I’ll say this, whatever Mormonism is or isn’t, it is not Christian.
My old pastor said “unimpeachably nice, but theologically shipwrecked”
It’s hard to draw a line in the sand on Christian versus not, because eventually you get to people doing the float test on other sects and yelling “how’s your baptism going now?” as they drown.
That said, if you can’t define something, it tends to drift. (we’re living this right now, Eh?)
Trinitarianism is a pretty dang bright line test. Unitarianism suffers from issues.
If it is assumed there is no divinity in Christ, then the entirety of the new testament is nothing more than another set of books of prophets… prophets with a really screwed up theology. Screwed up enough that their inclusion in canon makes no sense. It’d be like including David Koresh’s memoirs in the Bible and glossing over the fact that he proclaimed himself the second coming of Jesus. Jesus doesn’t just proclaim that he is divine. Jesus proclaims that he is Yahweh. That’s either nutter butter crazy (and he should probably be ignored) , or fatal to Unitarianism.
If it is assumed there is divinity in Christ, then there’s a lot of glossing over to do when Jesus prays to God the Father, expresses reluctance, and proclaims the arrival of the Holy Spirit. There’s a whole lot of talk of “Our Father” that is some really weird metaphorical object lesson or an admission of polytheism. There are serious problems with both interpretations.
I don’t think you’re being a jerk and I am not upset. You aren’t saying anything new or that I haven’t heard since I was 9. I simply don’t understand why this is an issue when we don’t, in fact, deny the divinity of Christ.
What we DO deny is that God the father, God the son, and God the holy spirit are one entity.
We are not Trinitarians.
The special part, meaning unique, is where the disagreement lies. But like I said I’m dropping it, my quest for enlightenment should not involve questioning yours. I apologize again.
Also. You might be drunk, but I have eaten way too many fruit Tootsie rolls and am miserable.
Fruit tootsie rolls? Fruit tootsie rolls! How DARE you! You have cost me my childhood! I should be on the other side of the ocean. I should be in school! Seriously, you can believe in Joseph Smith, you can deny the trinity, you can insist on mortal promotability to Godhood, but for all that is holy, please, tootsie rolls are brown and taste vaguely of chocolate!
Fruit Tootsie Rolls are the new doctrine, the doctrine of love and inclusion, the doctrine of life and joy.
Fruit tootsie rolls are gnostic candy! They are only candy as long as you believe in them. They are dualist candy. They are both a treat and a torment at the same time.
I don’t believe any of that shit, but the single finest human being I know is a religious Christian. And he not only doesn’t want to run your life, he writes some great stuff for this website.
But what does Swissy think of fruit tootsie rolls?
I’m not religious. I consider myself agnostic. Just don’t have the energy tonight to go more into it.
I too find myself falling asleep in my chair here.

Prominent American Jewish organizations have criticised comments made by Donald Trump in a speech to the Israeli American Council.
Trump told the audience at the event in Florida on Saturday they had “no choice” but to vote for him.
“You have to vote for me, you have no choice. You’re not going to vote for Pocahontas, I can tell you that,” Trump said, using his derogatory nickname for Massachusetts senator Elizabeth Warren, one of the frontrunners for the Democratic presidential nomination.
“Even if you don’t like me … you’re going to be my biggest supporters because you’re going to be out of business in about 15 minutes if [the Democrats] get it.”
——-
Multiple Jewish organizations released statements criticizing Trump for reinforcing antisemitic stereotypes that Jews are solely motivated by money and owe or demonstrate loyalty to Israel.
Halie Soifer, executive director of Jewish Democratic Council of America, said in a statement the remarks were an “unconscionable repeating of negative stereotypes that have been used historically to target Jews”.
Soifer reiterated the council’s stance that Trump is “the biggest threat to American Jews” because of his rhetoric that has “emboldened the rise of white nationalism in America, which has directly led to increased hatred and violence targeting Jews”.
The American Jewish Committee said it appreciated the president’s support for Israel, “but surely there must be a better way to appeal to American Jewish voters … than by [using] money references that feed age-old and ugly stereotypes.”
Oy, vey.
A shanda!
Yes, i mean thats why when he left he locked the doors and had the building burned down.
A Minnesota woman is suing a former local pharmacist and CVS for allegedly refusing to fill her prescription for a morning-after pill.
Andrea Anderson filed the suit on Monday in Aitkin County District Court claiming she was denied the drug ella because of a pharmacist’s beliefs and was then lied to and misled when she tried to get the medication at another location.
——-
blah blah blah stupid bullshit pointless runaround
Prescription obtained. Pregnancy averted.
——-
Her attorney Jess Braverman, legal director of Gender Justice, a Minnesota-based nonprofit, said in a statement that the Thrifty White pharmacist denied Anderson her prescribed medication because of “his own personal beliefs about emergency contraception – which he decided are more important than our client’s health, and more important than her own right to decide if and when she gets pregnant.”
Obviously a federal case.
I don’t get it. Plan B is available without a prescription. Granted, you have to ask the pharmacist to get it off the shelf behind the counter (the way you do Bronkaid, FFS), but it doesn’t require a prescription.
Oops

Did you guys finish the JV game already? The ‘real one’ is never going to end as far as a can tell. I’m starting to think its just a modern day snipe hunt where you get people to commit to a game and then see how long you can keep them on the hook. Drag it out, postponements, hosting problems, etc..
We agreed to a draw.

Wait, which game was the JV game?
Yes.

Anyone else notice that Matt Drudge has a worse case of TDS than almost anyone on the left? It’s worse than CNN now. You go there and it’s just a red text wall of links about impeachment. Poor, Matt, he’s never gotten over his man crush on Mittens. I can’t even stand to go there anymore, it’s worse than CNN and MSNBC all rolled into one giant clusterfuck.
It’s not Matt anymore.
It’s pretty cool how that guy has been able to maintain so much anonymity for so long. I never read Drudge Report regularly, but wasn’t he an early Trump booster?
Until Booty-gag started running.
Really? He likes Mayor Pete? That’s fucking weird
Just a guess but I think sexual orientation is playing a part here.
That was my take, although I only glance over his site quickly (same for most news sites truthfully) He seems to have had a conservative bent but mostly he just re-posted whatever the news of the day was. Years ago I found it amusing when leftist would say “Fuck Drudge” because the site was just one big list of links. That the right is now doing it probably shows that he (or whomever) is doing something right.
It was always a news aggregate site. I always found it amusing how the left frothed at the mouth over Drudge’s ‘news site’.
Not really. There’s still a bias evident in the stories he chooses and the words he uses to present them.
I don’t visit much it’s always been “known” to lean right.
Used to lean right. I still wouldn’t consider biased text links to other news sources to actually be a news site. It is, was, a news aggregate site. I can’t remember even one time when Drudge linked to their own news story.
Sorry, I was being sloppy. Yes, it’s a news-aggregator. I was trying to say that the left had a good reason (in their view) to froth at the mouth because it was long known to have a right-ish bias.
“but wasn’t he an early Trump booster?”
No, he’s been gargling Mitten cock for as long as I can remember. He hates Trump, always has, he’s an establishment guy all the way.

My brain is completely fucking fried. Yeah, I know, go ahead. Anyway, it’s not a great feeling. I did 8 straight 15+ hour days and then this morning, I just could not make sense out of anything, any longer. I was just staring at code and it looked like some sort of hieroglyphics or something, completely unintelligible. I’ll be sleeping late tomorrow for sure. Not 20 something any more, but I remember even back then, I’d just get too tired and go into the same mode. Difference is that back then it would consist of partying all night and going into work having never slept for days in a row.
Yeah, that’s too many hours to be doing that kind of work. Your brain needs a break.
Yeah, I found myself incapable of doing even the simplest things this morning. One of the first things I did was to apply a patch in staging that I had done in dev the night before. Then I was testing and and getting completely frustrated, how the fuck can this not be working? Then I suddenly realized that I had copied the patch to stage but did not actually apply it. Jeebus fucking Crikey, that was it, I just gave up.
Sounds like this is a good weekend to zone out and do nothing.
That’s the plan.
Brain needs a rest, man. Have some beers and just stare out the window or something.
For anyone interested, if you donate $50 or more to the Libertarian Institute you get a direct email from Scott Horton (probably automated, but I like to believe that Scott emailed me directly) asking you if you want a signed copy of “Fool’s Errand” or “The Great Ron Paul” book of essays mailed to you. So you got that going for you
What’s the Libertarian Institute? Do they have naked dancing fat guys?
A site run by Scott Horton and everyone’s favorite former Reason writer- Sheldon Richman. They got other writers, too and different podcasts
Do you have a link, or am I just the only person around that doesn’t already know about it?
You aren’t the only one. And it’s the first hit on an internet search. 😉
That would require typing shit into a search engine. I’m tired, dude.
I know, that’s why I did it for you! 🙂
Shouldn’t I donate that money to a stripper named Charity instead?
You should use it to buy coke that you share with Charity.

LOL
Did drugs fall out of her ass?
That’s totally misogyny cause he clearly made that girl wear that shirt.
That second conversation…
She definitely will be when she actually gets socialism, just to be able to eat. Ask Venezuelans how that works.
IMPEACHMENT.
Fuck every single one of those Democrats and every media establishment gleefully reporting it.
They’re actually busy fucking themselves, so don’t waste energy on it.
Yes, please, just let this happen. Just take my money already!
