Pathways of Insanity

Dennis Prager wonders why so many atheist books are best sellers. Well, nobody claims to really understands why pornography sells so well either. Opinions are a dime a dozen, and they range from free sex, free speech, to anti-religious feeling. And these seem to have arisen or expanded with the Great Society. One has to ask why there is such a current hate for Christians and Jews and their religions? Critics of Dennis certainly have immediate disdain for him, his opinions, and religion in general---almost fanatically.

One consideration is that Christianity and Judaism require common sense, reverence, respect, toleration, and charitableness among other qualities of good people. These are not jokes. They are expectations of adherents of traditional religion. And it's too bad so many people can't follow these normal characteristics of real men and women, religion or not.

As Dennis has noted, the current batch of 'adults' has been brainwashed by the Liberals for years towards hedonism and distaste for anything that puts a bar in front of complete freedom to do as you will. Without restrictions, such behavior is far from free. It's inherently dangerous to other people who have to deal with the results of such 'freedom.' Tell me how restrained and moral the periodic gay parades and celebrations are in San Francisco these days.

But these people will read and buy anything that agrees with their way of life or provides them an excuse not to behave in a reasonable manner. Are you surprised? The First Amendment to the Constitution states: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or
prohibiting the free exercise thereof;" Somehow, the hedonists and atheists have convinced many people that this means a complete separation of 'Church and State.' Not hardly.

The American founders were concerned about a State religion in the manner of Britain, not with the denying religion in secular life. It's as simple as that. Our founders were deists, and they certainly wanted religion in daily life---just not a required State religion.

So the modern judiciary and the Liberals have been convinced by ??? that no mention or display of religion on public property is proper. Manifestations of religion or religious feeling can't be part of society. Christianity, Judaism, and other traditional religions are considered juvenile and these Leftists are totally wrong---but try and convince them of that.

So why the tolerance for Islam? Why the footbaths? Why the prayer rooms? Why the burqas et al? This is America and not the Middle East. We don't routinely wear masks around here unless it's Halloween or we're hiding for some nefarious reason. In Islam, Women are put down, executed or maimed if they don't adhere to what the men prescribe. Jihads are routinely called to kill Americans, Jews, and anyone who disagrees with the current interpretation of the Koran. So why the Liberal tolerance for Islam?

Contradictorily to the usual leftist rant and expectations, Islamic men are executed in the Middle East when caught in the pornography game. But then, they're also executed for homosexuality too. No wonder Ahmadinejad can claim there are no homosexuals in Iran. So, why the Liberal tolerance for Islam? Do the Liberals wish to accomplish such things here? Better ask them---but then, they'll probably evade the question and answer and blame Bush.

Awardi Liberali

When I was a kid, I had a lot of respect and awe for the winners of the Nobel Prizes, Pulitzer Prizes, Emmies and Oscars. I watched the latter every year with bated breath. [I also voted for Miss Rheingold] For they were all awards for excellence in my young eyes.

As I grew older [past 12], I realized that there were a lot of somethings wrong with these awards. [Of course, not the Miss Rheingold election---that was one of real consequence.] Reality grew on me slowly---but it did grow. And now, I see so much Liberal crap tied up into these awards---well, they are virtually worthless in my estimation. C'mon now! An award of excellence for Al Gore? Sally Fields a relevant voice?

Now, we know that a lot of Liberals get these awards for being Liberal and promoting Liberal propaganda. Can't refute that. Do a little research, and you'll find the processes disgustingly unfair and slanted with just that result. Oscars, Emmies, Pulitzers, Nobels---all in the hands of Liberals these days. Consequently, the awards are not effort-driven but politically-correct-Liberalism driven.

I've tried to watch, listen to, or read columns and articles by some of these prominent Liberals: Cynthia Tucker; William Raspberry; Michael Moooore; Maureen Dowd; Al Frankenstein; Ellen Goodman; Anthony Lewis; Tom Wicker---and of course those delightfully sensitive whackos on the radio, Don Imus and Howard Stern.] I can't do it. They turn me off very quickly with the misinformation, assumption of divinity, vitriol in their hate of anything Republican or Conservative [or in some cases, common decency], and basically poor or gutter-like writing or communicating skills. And they're often hypocrites. Remember when William Raspberry wrote columns that promoted gun control and getting all guns off the street and out of the hands of citizens? It was shortly thereafter that he was arrested for having an unlicensed gun in his possession---and of course, he was released quickly with a slap on the wrist, and the story was conspicuously missing from the Liberal Press after the first, small print revelations. [I imagine if he had been a Conservative columnist, we'd still be hearing and reading about it.]

Liberal Mantra: do what I say, not what I do. And the mantra is normally written by its propagandists in many forms. I recently visited the Daily Kos---soiling my mind---and found little there but the usual vitriol against Bush and the Republicans and---oh yes, some reporting of rumors in an attempt to find someone [other than the shooter] to blame for the VA Tech tragedy. For each issue---or non-issue---occurring or reported about on the National scene, the Kos Kids empty their spleens with vitriolic rants of hate and venom against the assumed enemy. Blindness there is an asset.

Yes, Liberals do, as a rule, write nonsense, and they shouldn't be awarded anything for it. Some see an improvement in their grammar and basic skills as the years progress---but most don't. I wouldn't even give them an 'A' for effort because they usually fall flat in truth and reality.

I found out recently an Australian scientist claims that cremation is causing global warming [the furnaces, you know] and we should bury our dead in cardboard boxes underneath trees so the decomposing bodies can nourish them to great heights. I can just see Uncle Fred's countenance budding on a hundred branches. Owwwww! Anyway, isn't there a scientific award just for him? [The scientist, not Uncle Fred.] The Al Gore Award for Scientific Accuracy? Or the Michael Moooore 'Truth' in Liberal 'Science' Award?

One political blog poster claims that, since 'the left controls the awards, left wing writers should be winning most of them.' Well, the last time I checked, being a Liberal [in its current or recent manifestation] was not among the original criteria for any of these awards. As I remember it, the word "Excellence" was always bandied about. And there aren't any Liberals of excellence---or at least I haven't come across any. Propaganda is NOT excellence. So again, why no excellent Conservative writers in the chase? Too sane for the judges?

I once owned a book store, and after Maya Angelou won the Pulitzer prize, I tried to read her books of poems and autobiography. They are unreadable, uninteresting, and definitely not worth the time invested. I found the same problems with other Liberal authors---whose books never sold.

Let's get back to 'excellence' instead of 'ideology' as the basis for awards. And, personally, I think my blog should receive and award from Joe Pulitzer or somebody. At least it's not Liberal.

Immigration or Entry?

Just a short opinion.  I'm all for immigration control. My grandparents were immigrants, and they arrived legally and went through their processing. They came for freedom and got it.

But illegal immigration is a whole other thing. As far as I'm concerned, these people should be rounded up and deported. Until we do that, we're not going to be safe within our borders. The United States is a haven for oppressed people, but let them make the effort to come here in accordance with our laws.

While my personal jury is still out regarding the Y Visas, I'm against the Z Visas. Wouldn't they be pretty much the same thing as a rich person buying his way out of a criminal case? Charging them fees is not going to be a solution.

Despite the problems involved, I think the day has come for a wall between us and Mexico to control the illegal entry problem. Nothing short of that solution will be effective.

Mexico isn't going to do anything to solve the illegal entries to the United States. Why not? Getting rid of the oppressed population to the US is good social policy for the Mexican government. It likes the idea that its ex-citizens will receive migrant jobs and welfare from good old Uncle Sam instead of the Mexican system.

Proficiency in English should also be a requirement of citizenship. The same with the proposed Y Visa. I'm tired of dual-language signs and allowances. Our country's population should be speaking the same language in all it's endeavors. English is English, and it isn't Spanish.

Immigration is good. Illegal entry is bad. See how simple that is.

Manifesto Destiny?

There's a cult-religion in these here woods, and it's a pervasive one. It's adherents proselytize on every street corner in America. It's not recognized as a cult {religion} yet, but it is one, and it's value system and beliefs sometimes defy the imagination.

It used to be that Liberalism was the defender of freedom for the individual and protector of human rights for everyone. No more. It has morphed into a cult that hates all people and things Conservative, Republican, sane, family oriented, or named after a plant. Some psychiatrists follow it, some treat it.

Early last week, I confessed my petty sins to the Right Reverend Joseph Motther, and he gave me a difficult penance. Father Motther told me to pray for the sad, truculent Liberals, or I would sure as h*e*l*l end up in H*e*l*l listening to them. I did my best, but still feeling guilty, I went to sleep and had a dream.

I dreamed that I was wandering the Elysian Fields riding a maidenform donkey {a symbol which the Liberals will soon rename Burro} who, true to her type, didn't know where she was going. We meandered about until we came upon a gaudy, blue gate, dripping with vitriol, opening to a large field of Hollywood brain trusts managed by a ghostly Ms Bernice. There I sold the donkey as raw material for her 'Stupid-Glue.' Among the many rings in the field there was a sewage plant, and there I found the document below---and present it for your perusal. Yet, I must continue to endure the vitriolic donkey called Rosie badgering my every dream. Oh, won't you please help me?

LIBERALIST MANIFESTO [sic for everything] {Daft} Draft

[NB This document must be kept secret from the vast, right-wing conspiracy. Those people and their habit of keeping things secret from the public is abhorrribibble.]

We gather together, without a defined God {because we don't really know anything about her,him,it,they,them}---in order to keep ourselves free from any taint of religiosity or anything like that---to promote {ourselves} our principles of Liberalism and stuff.

We agree to criticize and, like, attack those vile 'publicans and conservativees every chance we get, without regard to who's right or who's wrong about anything.

We agree to defend our {poll-driven} belief system and actions in debates, {even if it takes changing the subject whenever a valid question makes us uncomfortable.}

We believe that all political polling data must come from approved Liberal sources, such as the Washington Post, USC Berkeley, New York Times, Slate, Bozo the Clown College, Huffington Post and The Daily Kos.

We believe that if, in any elections, the Liberal-approved exit polls are different from the election results, we must assume fraud on the part of the non-Liberal. If said exit polls are 1% different from the election results, there must be a recount in favor of the Liberal. All hanging Chads should be interviewed until converted.

{We believe that every vile 'publican and conservativee in private life or politics is always wrong in action, inaction, statement, and silence.}

We agree to be as {anti-American} pragmatic as we can be {because we disagree with everything that's going on in this country---even if we did it.} We rather like the laws and government of Upper Mongolia instead. Even France has had better laws and national defense position than us.

We believe in tolerance of other religions {as long as they aren't Christian or Jewish in nature. We especially distrust Catholics and Fundamentalists because we don't understand them. We don't want the Pope to run the United States but an Imam or Generalissimo is Okay.} All other {religions} belief systems are equal, except that Liberalism is more equal than others.

We believe in apologizing for everything the vile 'publicans and conservativees do and say at all times to all people and all countries {especially when they use words we don't like or understand or can't spell.}

We apologize to {the late} {early} omnipresent William Jefferson 'Bill' Clinton for the great wrong done by the House of Representatives in impeaching him way back when. We offer the same apology to his lovely wife, the should-be-President Hillary Clinton---the smartest woman in the World---and her {only begotten} daughter, Chelsea, who-should-also-be-president.

We believe in the {sanctity} preferability of human life as long as it's wanted and out of the womb {and away from our knives and other weapons}, especially if it's on death row for murder.

Mental illness in mass murderers must be addressed through counseling and not prison. It's not their fault, but probably due to childhood abuse in not being spoiled but forced into personal responsibility and listening to conservative values. We are against the death penalty {so we can hang on to every vote possible.}

We believe in diplomacy at all times. Every problem in the World can be solved if we could just all sit down and get along {in the manner we say.} Foreign governments are all legitimate {as long as they're not Conservative}, and we can believe and rely on their honor at all times, especially if Communist, Islamic, or Fascist. Self-styled and un-appointed roving ambassadors for our country---providing they're adherents to our {religion} {party-line} beliefs---can come from the ranks of our Party in Congress at any level. {We will side-step any traitorous or defeatist comments made by them in foreign countries, and our country will abide by any agreements they negotiate.}

We firmly believe in mankind's sad and complete causing of global warming {as for the normal climate change in an aging World? forgeddabboutit! It don't serve our purpose,} and assign to the United Nations the un-vetoable right to guide us in saving the globe from such global warming---by taking it to Americans---and other {phony schemes} business as it sees fit.

We believe in "An Inconvenient Truth", "Fahrenheit 9/11," "Bowling for Columbine," "Sicko" and the {crap} gems of wisdom they impart. Al Gore should be proposed for UN Secretary General; Michael Moore for US Secretary of {Mal} Information. Markos Moulitsas Zuniga for Attorney General. They will each be given a cubit zirconium ring as a {sacred} serious sign of engagement.

We must continue a dialogue with our friends, the Islamic {Terrorists} Friendship Councils {aka al Quaeda and CAIR}, so that we can all live in {pieces} peace. {Besides, we still need Middle Eastern oil for our SUVs.}

We must reduce our dependence on foreign oil without additional oil drilling in or near the United States, use of vile nuclear power plants, use of selfish hydro-electric power, or the use of our abundant filthy coal---the latter which we need to hold the topsoil on the salt mines below. We prefer and promote wind-mills, solar panels, hot air, and power plants run by really big batteries.

We believe these {things} tttrrruyuutthhs {that's a tough word to say, ain't it Rosie?} to be self-evidence, in alphabetical order:

Privacy is a guaranteed right by the US Constitution {right next to the right to write right---er left. Right?}

The first amendment to the US Constitution applies only to Liberals and their {prodg} {prag} {pradg} children.

The second amendment to the US Constitution really doesn't exist, and it has been lied into existence by the vast right-wing conspiracy. It is not seriously meant for Americans in general. But, the right to bare arms can certainly be exorcised by anyone over the age of 75.

Liberal politicians are never subject to the search and seizure of any of their {drugs} {stash} personal property.

The sixteenth amendment to the US Constitution applies only to the rich, non-Liberals of the country---if any exist after our policies take effect.

Any rights not in the US Constitution are reserved to the States run by the Democrat/Liberal Party.

{Murder} Abortion on demand is a guaranteed right by the US Constitution {somewhere, we think.}

The US Constitution must be interpreted in the approved Liberal way, formally or informally. The Supreme Court must be enlarged to insure proportional representation of black-Americans, women, transgenders, gay and lesbian Americans, Native Americans, Creole-Americans {and mustard}, Chinese-Americans, French-Americans, Canadian-Americans, Welfare Moms, Mexican-Americans, Arab-from wherever, Convicts and other special interests the Liberal Congress courts in the future.

Our country's borders must remain porous to help out the poor, unfortunate Muslims and Mexicans of the World. Citizenship should be granted when the proper short form {post-it note} is mailed into the Immigration Department {free franking, of course.}

The national voting age should be lowered to, like, eleven [11], the same age as for abortions without, like, un-necessary parental consent.

Salary for federal Representatives and Senators should be on a two-tiered, tax-free basis with the Democrat/Liberals receiving payment in the ratio of four to one [4:1] to that of the non-Liberals.

Democrat/Liberal Congressman deserve retirement pay at age fifty [50] no matter how long they have served the public {heh heh}, and at a rate equal to twice their Congressional salaries with a liberal expense account as voted on by the Democrat/Liberal caucus.

Democrat Presidents may serve up to sixteen years without a new vote, {especially if their last name is Clinton.}

Having to spend the night {or more than one hour} alone with Rosie O'Donnell is not to be considered cruel and unusual punishment {no matter what Donald Trump says.}
We hereby appoint and anoint the following individuals as elders of our Democrat/Liberal {religion} Party, with the power to speak and create national policy on behalf of all of us dues-paying members and change their comments depending on the above approved polls:

Hillary {Twang} Clinton; Bill {I Didn't Have Sex With That Woman} Clinton; Al {Do as I Say and Not as I Do} Gore; Nancy {Travelin' Nan} Pelosi; Chuckee {Cheese} Schumer; Harry {Lost} Reid; Teddie {The Swimmer} Kennedy; Robert {Fling the} Byrd; Barack {Mr Experience} Obama; Joe {Bye} Biden; Barbara {The} Boxer; Rosie {Mouth} O'Donnell; Barbra {Color Me Dumb} Streisand; Tom Cruise {-o-matic}; Robert {The} Redford; Diane {Great Beer Goblet} Feinstein; Carolyn {Phony} Maloney; Sean {Glib Ambassador} Penn; George {Lib$$$$} Soros; John {Ranting} Murtha; Tom {Mr Syria} Lantos; Barney {Downstairs to the Left} Frank; Major {Minor} Owens; Charles {Home on the} Rangel; Aaalll Shhhharptin; Jesse {Reparations for Me} Jackson; Jimmy {The Carpenter} Carter; Maxine {Muddied} Waters; Cynthia {My Pulitzer Ha Ha!} Tucker; James {Always a Kind Word} Carville; Cindy {I Know Everything} Sheehan; Al Franken {stein}; Don {Prune Face} Imus; and Howard {the Duck} Stern.

Signed: {Rosie has the list! It's restricted so those vile 'publicans and conservativees can't keep it secret.}

Better Than Idleness?

Researchers from Europe revealed recently that carnivorous sponges have been found in the deep, dark seas near Antarctica, and now there is talk about turning them into a profitable resource. Big surprise there.

Called 'Carnisponges', their use in the modern kitchen will be highly advantageous to the 'homemaker', retailer, and manufacturer. They actually eat dirt, thus cleaning hands and dishes in one fell swoop. We've been telling people to eat dirt---among other things---for years, but this is the first time it will be said in the market place. No retail price or further information is available for these new sponges. The concept is still quite new, and the accountants are still busy pencil pushing because these sponges can only be harvested by the nearby Emperor Penguins, and these critters are hard negotiators, as they aren't too anxious to have their snouts or fins finished off by a hungry sponge during a hunt.

And...

The Sydney Morning Herald reports: "HUMANS are just one of the millions of species on Earth, but we use up almost a quarter of the sun's energy captured by plants - the most of any species...An agriculture professor at the University of Melbourne, Snow Barlow, said the paper showed humans were taking up too much of an important natural resource [the Sun.] 'Here we are, just one species on the earth, and we're grabbing a quarter of the renewable resources … we're probably being a bit greedy.' [Maybe he should work at night?]

San Franciscans were astounded by these facts, and they have taken it upon themselves to try to alter this disgusting exhibition of human cupidity. They do this knowing that all fads and trends begin in California. And, since there are approximately 15,745,329.2 million species estimated to be on the Earth---80 percent or so unknown [does that include bacteria?]---San Franciscans believe we humans should be stepping aside so these other species can enjoy more sun and less grief.

Accordingly, several ordinances have been passed by the City government: all residents and visitors must remain in the shade at least two-thirds of each day; sunbathing is restricted to one hour per day; people with a sunburn are subject to arrest, large fines and confinement; the words sun, sunny, sunshine, bosun, sunburn, sunbitch, sunbelt, sundry, sungod or -goddess, and the like are considered epithets in San Francisco, and persons heard using them are subject to arrest, large fines and confinement. At most local watering holes, the 'Tequila Sunrise' has been renamed 'Mexican Juiced Juice,' an especial Liberal treat when made with illegally imported Tequila.

And...

An Australian scientist recently claimed that cremation is causing global warming [the furnaces, probably---little bits of cousin Charlie may be melting the glaciers] and we should bury our dead in cardboard boxes underneath trees so the decomposing bodies can nourish them to great heights. They'll be heads and shoulders above their neighboring Elms.

I can just see Uncle Fred's countenance budding on a hundred branches. [Or if Aunt Tildy is buried beneath the same tree, will there be two new branches above arguing with each other every night---perhaps scaring the tomcats off the backyard fence?]

Makers of corrugated cardboard saw their stock prices immediately rise, while casket makers jumped from their windows. Anyway, isn't there a scientific award for this man? [The scientist, not Uncle Fred.] The Al Gore Award for Scientific Accuracy? Or the Michael Moooore 'Truth' in Liberal 'Science' Award? Professor Hsu's Corrugated Man of the Year?

Well, in the future when you get a new appliance, make sure you save the box for Mom or Dad. If they're Conservative, the Liberals will consider them evil and undeserving of ceremony when the time comes, so a simple planting will suffice. Liberals, though, are buried through different Churches they've denied the existence of during their lives.

And Shmoo to You Too!

Pacifism as usually practiced today in the Liberal/Democrat philosophy reminds me greatly of Al Capp's Shmoos.

Born August 31, 1948, the Shmoo was almost exterminated because it refused to fight back against any danger whatsoever. And, wow, was it ever friendly! If you looked hungry, it would jump into a frying pan for you---after which it would taste like chicken; baked it would taste like roast beef; raw like oysters. It was no physical threat to anyone, reproducing asexually [the feminists would like that], and only using air for sustenance.

Sound familiar? It should. The Democrat/Liberal version of pacifism is leading us right down the road to the historic Valley of the Shmoon. Cute maybe, responsible no.

We have the freedoms endowed to us by our Creator and guaranteed by our Government as set out in the US Constitution. Our lives are detailed from day to day in accordance with the laws enacted through the judicious use of that Constitution: our guaranteed freedoms include free speech; right to bear arms; freedom against incriminating ourselves; freedom from slavery; right to a speedy trial; trial by jury; etc. And we had to fight hard to be able to guarantee these freedoms with reasonable surety, and we sure as h*e*l*l are going to fight to retain them.
The "rights" to privacy and abortion [murder] are not enumerated in the Constitution, despite what so many shmoos want us to believe, and we're going to continue to point that out. Privacy is handled nicely through the Bill of Rights, and abortion---being murder---has no business being in the Constitution, Bill of Rights, or actuality of our daily lives.

We must have responsibility and the will to defend our liberties. Pacifism doesn't allow for this, and a pacifist nation will only go under the thumb of whatever aggressor gets the best idea first. Sometimes war is required to preserve our rights and lives, for after all everyone is human and subject to the human frailties of greed, power-lust, evil purpose, and extermination. We must defend ourselves against such peoples. And if a war is not legally in progress, we must be aware of potential dangers from foreign and domestic sources, and nip them in the bud before they endanger our lives.

Al Capp 1909-79

Reasonable people can disagree about the 'how' part of carrying out our responsibilities, but they should not be fighting against them in principle. The latter is what the 'peace-loving' Liberals/Democrats are doing, and they should be thoroughly drummed out of all political power which would enable them to pursue their roads to the Valley of the Shmoon and oblivion.
