Overnight Open Thread (26 Jun 2015)

So what's the over/under on a gay couple forcing a mosque to perform a gay wedding? I'd say it is zero. They don't have the stones to do something like that (kind of like how that douche Deray never protests acutal white supremacist groups) and the politicians will cook up some special exemption for them anyway.

Vets

Gary Sinise is an awesome dude. World War II vets get warm welcome to New Orleans.

OPM Breach

We might as well say that every American that has data stored with the government is now compromised. OPM data breach could total 32 million Americans. And then there's this. Chinese hackers got into FBI personnel files.

Bacon

First Drone Strike

The story of America's first drone strike.

LCS

U.S. Navy littoral ship found vulnerable to attack. No shit?

Cosplay In The Sun

SCOTUS

This is a "conservative" court? I'd hate to imagine what a liberal/progressive court will look like.


Michael Ramirez

iPhone Armor

How many iPhones does it take to stop an AK-47 bullet?

Mad Max

Superfan builds real Mad Max Interceptor. I always did like that car.

39 OH, on that bookworm piece where readers are offered the writings of Justice Roberts; I no longer care to read Justice Robert's opinions on anything after his decision on Obamacare.

Even if I were to agree with him, I would suspect his opinion had ulterior motives and he was just writing what he thought a conservative wanted to hear and could be manipulated.

Once you catch a liar in a lie, that person can never again be trusted. Since Justice Roberts can no longer be trusted I shall endeavour to ignore anything he writes or says.

195 So, prostitution is legal in Nevada, is that right? Does that mean that all women are required, by law, to spread their legs if they're offered a dollar?

Not sure if I know what my point is but I thought I'd ask anyhow.

Posted by: Northernlurker at June 26, 2015 11:07 PM (nlHrF)


Prostituion is, by state law, legal in the rural counties (so no legal hookers in Vegas or Reno). Three rural counties (Lincoln, Carson City, and Douglas) have local ordinances against prostitution.

IIRC, brothel workers have an absolute right to deny their service to anyone for any reason.

However, it'd be interesting to see what happens if that is challenges...

Not precisely. It's not a language. It's a framework for processing massive amounts of data, based on the principle "if the data is really large, send the code to the data, rather than sending the data to the code." It's not inherently insidious. It all depends what you're doing with what data. And it is not up-and-coming; it's really well-established, and has been for long enough to face competitors.

I'm on the X/Millenial boundary, depending on who you ask. I classify myself as late Generation X, since I turned 18 before the millenium rolled over, but that's logic, and logic doesn't always apply to labels.

I don't care if gay people get legal protections, inheritance, can visit each other in the hospital, whatever. I take issue with the idea that the government is involved in marriage at all, since it was a Catholic sacrament before the existence of the USA. It's the government violating the separation of church and state. They should rename their marriage contracts something else (such as civil union or domestic partnership), and quit performing the ceremony, since it's just a contract.

The sacrament, ceremony, and name of marriage properly belongs to the churches, they had it first.

276 Roberts had to have been blackmailed. It's obvious. They either have something on him personally or on his family, or they just threatened one or more of his family with bodily harm. Knowing this son of a communist whore's predilections, it was probably both and probably thought up by Jarrett that rat faced communist traitor.

Mark my words - we'll find out eventually just how many people this administration subjected to extortionate threats and some murders.

Remember - communists don't flinch at murder. They think they are perfect.

And I'll bet they turned Roberts, Boehner, McConnell, and over a dozen others with the help of the ChiComs and other fellow travellers.

Though it won't look like that, but there will be more and more districts voting "103% Democrat", than ever before.

That is one hypothesis. Its worth is obvious. But I think there's another. Remember when he was nominated and confirmed, and he didn't seem to have an enemy in the world, only people who said he was the greatest guy ever? That happens to people who carefully avoid ever making an enemy with clout. If that were your overriding goal, above all else, how would you have voted?

Once I'm done, I'll be able to recreate the video for others putting in pictures of their rescue dogs to create personalized videos.

352 don't care if gay people get legal protections, inheritance, can visit each other in the hospital, whatever. I take issue with the idea that the government is involved in marriage at all, since it was a Catholic sacrament before the existence of the USA. It's the government violating the separation of church and state. They should rename their marriage contracts something else (such as civil union or domestic partnership), and quit performing the ceremony, since it's just a contract. The sacrament, ceremony, and name of marriage properly belongs to the churches, they had it first.
Posted by: Cato the Rebel Without a Party at June 26, 2015 11:26 PM (HalrA)


Its not even that. It existed before the Catholic Church was ever formed. It existed before Christ was ever nailed to the cross. It existed before Abraham ever left the Sumerian city of Ur. Its a concept that is completely ingrained into human nature. From the Middle East to African tribes to Native Americans to the Greek city-states to India toChina and Japan, the concept of marriage exists throughout for thousands of years of human history. Maybe a little different in places and maybe they'd allow some have more than one spouse, but it has always been seen as a union between a man and a woman.

C'mon, there's six combinations.

361 It seems that Republicans will evermore nominate one enduring conservative and orginialist justice and one stinker.

Well in the case of Reagan he had two and a half with O'Conner not being a complete nut job.

Seriously if you put together the logic and reasoning power of Ginsberg, Kagan and Sontemayor it wouldn't add up to a wet fart.


I mean seriously...

Kagen!!
Ginsberg!!!
Sontamayor!!!


Oyyoyoy!

We are well and truly fucked.

362 I don't want to hate George W., but he gave us John Roberts.

The John Roberts who is a liberal who is probably can be blackmailed.

Did the GW camp do any research on Roberts, or did he owe someone a favor, so he just nominated him without checking him out? The latter makes the most sense.

364 Let's get everyone we can get a hold of on board, and see if we can put
third party candidates from across the fruited plain into Congress. So
they're winning the game, let's change the game. Two players? Lets'
have five, or ten!


It'd take too long. We need a fight club philosophy and action to be effective in the shortest time possible. Maybe it's just the residual effect of dilaudid, but after the last two SCOTUS rulings, it's game over. 404care will become single payer. Fcuk, Bernie Sanders is getting some traction. Gus Hall would have a chance in this OWS childlike nation we've become!

384 Its not even that. It existed before the Catholic Church was ever formed. It existed before Christ was ever nailed to the cross. It existed before Abraham ever left the Sumerian city of Ur. Its a concept that is completely ingrained into human nature. From the Middle East to African tribes to Native Americans to the Greek city-states to India toChina and Japan, the concept of marriage exists throughout for thousands of years of human history. Maybe a little different in places and maybe they'd allow some have more than one spouse, but it has always been seen as a union between a man and a woman.

Cthulhu,

I'm sore but nothing is broken. I've taken Cacium for over 15'years, or dr. wouldn't prescribe something,unless

I drink milk or take Calciun. Few years later she told me I'm a
little white woman more prone to osteoporosis 'I had Bone
density test. I,had to take Calcium w/D went through all waste of $
trying to find one that did not make me sick. Found one for year
it was discontinued. Found another now it's only at Drugstore
website.



I take one with Centrum other day when I'm ready to eat

In morning. I can walk after having ice bag on top or under baseball size bruise.

I'll be okay w/in a week.



Thank you !

Just be more careful. I want you moving to Texas, not to a rest home. I was so sad when Eleanor left. She'd been a fixture around the neighborhood for years, then I hear she's hurt, then her daughter shows up for a week, then they firesale'd the house and its contents and she was gone. And all because of a fall.

452 #376: I once read about another chick doing something similar, back when England and France were fighting over Normandy and Brittany.

Her name was Jeanne deClisson, and they called her the Lioness of Normandy.

She was married at twelve. Her husband died when she was in her twenties, and she fell madly in love with a new dude named something-something-Clisson. He was one of two nobles tasked with holding the northern areas of France while England was trying to take them. After a couple of minor military setbacks, he was accused by the other northern noble of collaborating with the English to betray France. And this other dude was all buddy-buddy with King Louis the However-Many, so Clisson was quickly arrested, tried and executed.

Well, Mrs. deClisson wasn't having that. She sold all her husband's holdings and bought three warships and hired some crews, then she prowled the English Channel, raiding every French ship that crossed her path and personally beheading any nobles who happened to be on board.

She had a thirty-year career as a pirate, and eventually managed to retire in peace.

AP Dateline: Greece- Reports are that a faction of rebels calling themselves "The Horde" has purchased the Isle of Lesbos.

The heavily armed gang of guerrillas' spokeswoman Empress was quoted as saying: "We tried. We really tried with those assholes in the former United States. Fuck them up their fuckholes and their leadership, in particular."

This under-the-radar purchase would have gone unnoticed until they pulled their first aircraft carrier into port.

510 #329 "Ok, if Roberts , Boehner etc. are being blackmailed, why isn't Scalia, Alito and Thomas facing blackmail. And is Kennedy only being blackmailed half the time?"

One word - effort. All they need is one certain vote that they lean on for the court to go their way on Ocare. They can let the rest come out in the wash. They know Kennedy's a squish who can vote nearly randomly - but their BIG need is Ocare being put into place. That's their money, their constant power, their 'plantation'. It's where they rule, where they can trade influence and money - it is their playground and their legacy and their money tree. It is where they will feed for the rest of time. It is their barrel of blood, their mountain of gold.

But even with that, they only need Roberts. And they only need to remind him - publicly - as Obama did last week - of the consequences of disobeying him. Each time, Obama made publicly veiled threats towards SCOTUS when the Ocare cases were before them. Each time Roberts scrambled to OBEY.

They just need 1 justice under their thumb. It's cleaner that way, and he's the most physically healthy of the moderate to conservative justices. Their treason will pay off longer with him, they have a long lifespan threatening him.

Same for Boehner, same for McConnell. Just get each of those under threat, and the House and Senate become dripping bitches for communism.

Effort - 3 or so. Everyone else isn't that important - any more are probably threatened for personal hatred.

--I recall in the early days of that movement that they ruled out the realistic possibility of any country doing that. Maybe with enough money a small, poor island nation would cede an island and then the new nation could lease out for a reasonable amount the maritime rights to the mother nation and both parties could therefor be accommodated. Still, states by their nature are jealous creatures, regardless of how crappily they're run.

What is needed is enough firepower to put down any so-called "real nation" that tries to claim the territory. The world is full of phony paper-nations that couldn't defend their territory against invading girl scouts. Such does not make for a nation of any sort.

There is no cheap or easy way to create a nation. It must be able to defend itself, from the start, and willing to do so. Otherwise, it's just another joke to add the litany of sick, demented jokes that make up the bulk of today's "nation-states" - the American Socialist Superstate included.

Wondering what - if any - impact the farcical first O-care ruling (where federal tax law was just invented out of thin air) and now this much more fundamentally arbitrary and lawless ruling (statutory interpretation conforms to divined "intent" of statute, notwithstanding structure, legislative history, and logic of statute and language) will have on what's left of con law.

Imagine being a serious con law attorney. You construct solid arguments. Your opponents are saddled with, frankly, ridiculous arguments, as the merits are clear and one-sided. (recall how embarrassing a performance the solicitor general turned in in the first O-care case? because he was arguing a preposterous brief) It's really a "slam dunk" situation.

And SCOTUS just, to use the vernacular, "makes shit up", disregards facts, law, the constitution, precedent, logic, and common sense, in order to clothe their arbitrary ruling against you in pathetic rationales worthy of Vyshinsky.

Would love to be a fly on the wall in a con law litigation shop, just to hear the "WTF?" discussions. And how does future "jurisprudence" (love the unearned, and now unwittingly hilarious, faux majesty of that word) incorporate Roberts' two signature abortions? Then again, we had the Chrysler/GM secured debt looting (a stunning unique event in US history), and we have affirmative action. So to a serious observer the SCOTUS has been an illegitimate and unserious institution for some time. But just curious.

I'm thinking that every year a D20 die is cast and every Federal employee whose SSN# ends with that number is banned from a Federal paycheck for five years. Every Federal Agency besides the ones in the Constitution (hint: Army and Navy) can be established for no more than two years and must continually seek reauthorization from Congress. And when a law is overturned by the Supreme Court, the Legislators who voted for the law and the Executive who signed it get 10-year bans from Federal involvement.

Frankly, if we could weave a web of such restrictions around the Federal government that they could do nothing at all besides repel foreign invasion, it wouldn't bother me a damned bit.

604 President Cussword, 2017: "Oh, my, a law on my desk to sign. It is to allow a 2 percent raise to all postal service managers with more than 13 years in the same position. - Using the King vs Burwell precedent, I interpret this law to actually be a citation of impeachment against Roberts, Sotomayor, Kennedy, Ginsberg, Breyer, and Kagan. The intent of this law is to have them stripped of their position and hanged at dawn, tomorrow, in front of my window. I will sign this with a flourish"

616 Roberts proves they like "Case Law". "Con Law" is rarely taught in "prestigious" colleges anymore. If it is, it is bastardized and taught as a "malleable foundation".

They won't mention the Rights as by God or Nature, but by man. Fallible, goofball, silly little "man".

Everything that is rock, they will turn to clay.

The sense of "Natural Rights" isn't out there anymore. It must be taught anew. It needs an effort I may not possess.

618 And SCOTUS just, to use the vernacular, "makes shit

common sense, in order to clothe their arbitrary ruling against you in
pathetic rationales worthy of Vyshinsky.

621 I just sent the following message to my Congressional Representative.

"After this last week of watching Obama and the Supremes twist reality into phantasmagoric ugliness, I have an assessment and a comment.

The assessment is this: the Executive clearly hates the United States and is doing all he can to injure it, particularly its white inhabitants. The Judicial Branch is either completely in accord with the far-left worldview and aims of the Executive or is being blackmailed to supinely submit to them. The Congress is a lot of pusillanimous cowards who know the majority of the people they represent hate what both the Executive and Judicial are doing to the nation. However, because they are pusillanimous cowards, they refuse to fight back, thus leaving the people defenseless through legal methods.

The comment is this: I hold all three branches of the American government in complete and utter contempt. Americans would be better off burning our tax dollars in the street for warmth than using them to pay your salaries. I now thoroughly understand those who have written in the past, "I love my country but I hate my government."

I've been under enemy fire for my country before. However, I now wonder why I ever should have risked anything, much less my life, for a nation run by such worthless bastards. One thing I can guarantee you. I certainly won't make that mistake again!

May God damn the lot of you perverted, thieving criminals!"

When Dr. Evil was hatching his plan, he said he'd demand "one million dollars", and Number Two informed him that "a million dollars isn't exactly a lot of money these days".

Kreplach, that truly stunning (even by today's standards) juxtaposition in Roberts' opinions (the O-care ruling and the marriage redefinition dissent) has attracted some attention.

An Executive who hates us. He hates us and wants us destroyed. This is no big secret. He said he was going to do it, and he is doing it.
We have a Judicial Branch who is just doing fuck all whatever they want, and fuck the US Constitution.
We have a Legislative branch headed by 2 dimwits who are very busy licking the balls of the Executive, stroking the shaft, cleaning up the mess, etc. BTW these people are ostensibly the "opposition party". They make lots of noise to placate the party members but do nothing effective, ever.
We have a security infrastructure that has been thoroughly compromised and is now owned by the Chinese. Even the FBI files, witness protection program, spies, counter spies, all of it.
We have open borders with hostiles pouring in to our cities from all quarters. And they will vote and will sign up for Obamacare.
We have a currency hanging by a thread, for the moment.

I don't want to paint with too broad a brush, but let's just say there are *some* lawyers who take the academic exercise of taking either side of the argument so much to heart that they never leave that mode - they will actually do it in the middle of a conversation on one subject or another.

Roberts is doing that WITH THE WHOLE COUNTRY, because he has a trait not uncommon to piss-yellow cowards, that he doesn't really care about any principles or ideals, not deeply, but he does want to *win*, thus the arguing both sides of the same damned principle *in decisions*.

Also, because I'm an ass, *galling* is grating, unpleasant vibration like two metals grinding against each other. *Gauling* would be, I supposed, acting in the fashion of the ancient French.

Well that's what we are increasingly heading towards anyway.

Basically we are now in a tyrannical state, small to midsize t, the trajectory is heading to capital T Tyranny.

We now are millemeters away from being a country that was founded on religeous liberty and conscience to one where an incredible tiny minority gets to dictate what is and is not acceptable religious liberty and conscience all accomplished the smoke and mirrors and judicial fiats.

And I say this as a devote agnostic who does not hate the religious but admires and respects them.

These are dangerous times.

Kreplach, that truly stunning (even by today's standards) juxtaposition in Roberts' opinions (the O-care ruling and the marriage redefinition dissent) has attracted some attention. Somewhere today I read/heard some fairly nerdy technical legal types (non-political) carefully talking around the basic idea that Roberts' overall behavior could raise questions about his personal stability/coherence, based on this latest round of work product.

Posted by: rhomboid at June 27, 2015 01:28 AM (QDnY+)


Benedict Roberts' initial BarkyCare ruling - "not a tax, definitely a tax ... a tax on inaction ... totally Constitutional and all ..." was insane enough and dangerous enough to have the retard involuntarily committed, or at least relegated to the only bench he's qualified to sit on - a park bench.

Allow the patient to travel with family aboard ship.
Make it destination surgery.

Plus, I'd hire a bunch of Indian (slurpee, not woo-woo) docs to man the thing.

Country Singer.



I would hope that one Sunday's Book Thread would be purposely and solely focused on the works of one Louis L'Amour.



And upon their effects of the minds and lives of Teh Horde, having read and (hopefully) assimilated them.



First L'Amour book I'd read was "Down the Long Hills.". From that
book, I took the knowledge of "how to see", and the details which that
entailed. I think I was eleven, then.



That knowledge and skill, still serves me to this day.



Many other lessons from his books, withal.



What are yours?

redbanzai (like that nic), let me expand/clarify a bit.

I'm not taking any position of any kind on the Civil War, it's aftermath, the Confederate flag in some abstract sense, or paper vs. plastic.

I'm just very discouraged by so many otherwise sane people needing to muddy the waters on things by signalling their high-minded distaste for the CBF when that is NOT the point. *Obviously* not the point.

Yes the major push in the ongoing judicial coup this week is devastating, but this whole flag false moral panic - and esp. the breath-taking, un-American, mindless mob compliance with the idiocy - has equal impact on my view of the country.

You couldn't fill an NFL stadium with Americans for whom the current/longstanding usage of the CBF - from state flags to southern rock bands' guitars to souvenirs at battlefield giftshops - was of ANY concern two weeks ago. Then, presto, out of nothing - and for no real reason - the entire f**king country and culture, down to "historical" national parks, bans it? WTFF?

I'm not personally connected to the Civil War other than my focus on history (and love of military history). West coaster, not southerner or Yankee. But jeebus - I can't think of anything else in my lifetime like this.

weft-cut, I need to search out VDH/Epstein on all this

Yesterday (?) I caught 2 minutes of Hewitt, with Steyn. He asked Mark whether in fact the SCOTUSCARE atrocity had a silver lining, keeping GOP fingerprints off O-care and "giving them the issue".

Face-palm.

In the closest thing to "NPR Dead Air" I've heard on rightwing nutjob radio, Mark hesitated a bit, then carefully disagreed (you know inside he was screaming WTFF?).

I have personally taken part in and closely observed tactics wherein you are "getting the issue" in the US Senate. This was years ago. The stakes were far different (laughably small, by today's standards). You don't focus on "getting the issue" when the country's very treasure of personal liberty is on the line. Especially when you have shown not the slightest tendency to actually DO anything once a fearful majority has handed you the electoral keys.

Posted by: rhomboid at June 27, 2015 01:56 AM (QDnY+)

695 Country Singer,

The whole Sackett trajectory is it's own Book(s) Thread, actually.

And Mr. Selleck's later career is largely a success due to that series. Of which he portrayed with a sublime richness and attention to detail. Yeah, the screenwriters get their due, but he surely did exude on screen, what Mr. L'Amour strove to convey in print. Rare, isn't it?

That said, there were some L'Amour works which were masterpieces in their own right.

Previously mentioned, "Down the Long Hills", was one of them. Probably one of the more well written plots of any of his books. Rich in detail, character and suspense, it's not the usual "predictable" western, by any means.

"Conagher", with the notes in the tumbleweeds. You think you've read a "western", till you've read this one.

"Kiowa Trail" Damn, but if that one doesn't speak to Teh Moron heart....(where one would be if Morons had hearts in that black void?)

I could go on.

Was L'Amour "fine literature". No, not usually.

But sometimes, he was.

And that's where the adventure begins, Horde.

Go and find where he was Fine Literature. It will astonish you, and in all the good ways.

Oh, and he taught Teh Moron Way, before there even was a Moron Horde.

He was the Yoda of the Olde Weste, and if you doubt me, then you owe it a read.

Prove me wrong, I dare you.

I've known not just lawyers but poli-sci geeks who didn't seem to really care about what happened to everyone else, it was all about tactics with no strategy.

It's insanely frustrating when you're actually trying to *achieve a thing* and they're all trying to play a possible win or loss against personal or party gain like some sort of score card.

Rove doesn't really care if his candidates win, he's the candidate in his mind. A lot of campaigners are running for their own careers and not the candidates.

I think both parties get that, but idealistic republicans are most easily victimized by it because I think they *tend* to assume more readily that their compatriots are telling them the truth.

redbanzai, as an old Soviet hand and Cold Warrior, I am dumbfounded at how "un-American" this whole flag national flashmob is. "Un-American" sounds dated, or stuffy, or presumptuous, but it's meant literally here.

"American" is the unique (I believe) history of such a traumatic internal split being eventually healed, and both sides going on to create the greatest country in history - together. With more difficulty, and trauma even. It's really one of (many) wonders of this country.

Apologies, but precisely relevant anecdote.

Late 1970s, study group in the USSR, bus trip (probably to an historic site outside Leningrad). About half of the students in our group were southerners. Somebody starts upa rousing rendition of "Dixie" (even the yankees and others present join in). I'm sitting next to our "guide", who lived in our dorm - i.e., our KGB minder - Irina.

She asks, what's that song? I clearly remember, even at that young age, internally relishing the chance to answer that question. "That's the song of the losing side in our great Civil War." Dumbfounded look on Irina's face. She asked a sort of follow-up, something to the effect "that is permitted?".

Don't need to tell you that the songs, if there were any, of the vanquished side(s) from the Russian civil war following the Bolshevik revolution would not be heard inside the USSR.

Anyway, weird story, but to me it perfectly captures my point. And deepens my sadness these days.

I know how to hound people. I owned my own business. That was "day-to-day and again today".

While it is a "fine line", it is a crucial line, amigo.

I needed creditors to come through and people to be where they said they were going to be.

You need system diagnostics and ...


Screw that. You Need an Advocate, Brother. You want people to fight on your behalf because you deserve it.

Because you're not an "irritant", as you see yourself at times. Because you are a good person and worthy of my time. Because you invented the condom you are a high-quality individual.

Let someone else get on your case, man. I'm a low-level irritant without medical knowledge, but I know there are 206 bones in the human body and that's a start... right?

Okay, so I'm not the "best" advocate out there, even though I've watched every episode of "House".

You still need an advocate.

If there were anywhere to look? I'd think The Horde would be a splendid start!

713 Remember that scene from Watchmen, when Rorschach is talking about the whores and junkies and other varieties of mainstream Democrat voter begging him to save them, and he tells them "no"?

The lefties might not realize this, but in their eagerness to tear down everything we hold dear, they're making this land into something we will no longer find worth defending. You know, we, who have all the guns and stuff.

Here's another nasty surprise for liberals... our scariest enemies would rather have citizens like us than citizens like them. Communists will kill the "useful idiots" first. Muslims will kill the atheists and pagans first.

Liberals think they're creating a utopia for themselves, but they're actually just destroying their own best defenses and creating a hundred million Rorschachs. And eventually, they'll need us to save them from some real enemies. And we'll say, "no".

It's not The Onion, and it's not some snarky conservative blogger being sardonic. It's the unbelievably retarded naivete of the type of leftists that currently run our foreign policy.

A short summation is, "Share all these image of people joyously celebrating and waving rainbow flags, and they're sure to melt jihadis' hearts."

718 When Sayid Qutb, whose writings formed the beginnings of al Qaeda, visited the United States in 1949, he was shocked and repulsed by the moral sewer he saw. He wrote of a youth dance held in a church basement:

"They danced to the tunes of the gramophone, and the dance floor was replete with tapping feet, enticing legs, arms wrapped around waists, lips pressed to lips, and chests pressed to chests. The atmosphere was full of desire..."

So, yeah, seeing a bunch of leatherboys twerking on the streets is not likely to win over too many ISIS types.

725 682 Part of the key to a medical cruise ship is not just providing cheaper services (90% won't do unless waiting lists are insane - I guess you could do the Canada - UK run), but procedures that one or another countries' bureaucracy can't bother to deal with, especially ones that have been tested for 10 years and are just stuck in perpetual testing hell.

The ship would probably be best served by having a substantial research lab.

It's hypothetical, but I may, provided I live long enough, face the option of trying to set up a surgery on a ship to avoid idiot approval entanglements for "not approved for *this* application" reasons.

Several years ago I read about an insurance company that opened a surgical center in India and sent its insured patients there for elective surgeries. The patients of course were given a choice, but the got a big discount on their premiums and co pays.

The price of a hip replacement was IIRC, about 1/3, and the insurance company picked up the bill for the spouse's travel expenses.

'Muslim" trumps "gay" in the PC Hierarchy of Aggrieved Groups because Muslims are more anti-Western in their world view.

Gays in Europe are already discovering this, some even turning to far-right political parties because apparently skinheads are more tolerant than Muslims. I don't recall who wrote, "The gay moment in Europe is over."

I have to respectfully, but strenuously, disagree with your basic assumption. Western leftists aren't tryin gto create any sort of utopia. They are guilt-ridden (illusory, demented guilt that pervades their damaged psyches with no attachment to anything real), self-hating nihilists who just want to make everything around them a shithole so taht everyone can be as miserable as they are. Western leftists have no desire to build anything; they just want to destroy everything that's familiar and especially everything that reminds them of their fathers, who they hate with a burning passion and blame for the useless pieces of shit said leftists turned out to be.

Western leftists are, first and foremost, nihilists.

768 #748: There are dedicated commies who think that way, but a lot of more mainstream liberals (useful idiots who don't realize they're siding with psychos who'd just as soon kill them as look at them) seem to think utopia is always just one major societal change away. If this change fails to achieve it, maybe the next one will do the trick.

One key reason these people remain allied with the Left regardless of what the Left pushes for is, if they ever become satisfied with the changes they've forced on society, they will cease to be liberals and become conservatives. And they have so much of their identities tied up in being liberals and not icky conservatives that this is anathema to them.

This is why they can move so easily from, "Of course gay marriage won't lead to polygamy and incest, and in claiming it will you just show yourself to be an idiot and a liar!" to "Of course gay marriage was going to lead to polygamy and incest, and in claiming I ever said otherwise you just show yourself to be an idiot and a liar!"

The point (as you know) isn't about doing any good, it is about making sure those they have deemed their enemies are miserable. Any pain that falls on anyone else along the way is acceptable collateral damage to those type of people.

807 Let us see if I have this straight - a government (secular ?) entity ( the "Supreme Court") just bestowed a church sacrament on a trivial portion of the polis (sodomites), neither the sodomites nor the judiciary acknowledging the precedence of the church? The Pope is silent? I do not think bestowing sacraments by nominally secular institutions will really enhance the position of any obstensibly religious endeavor. Actually, this should affect any enthusiasts for "Sharia" adversely.

808 I'm using ubuntu, too. The new unity desktop is total dogshit, but you can use Xubuntu or just get the xfce desktop to get back to a normal, non-tableted, GUI. Lots of people switched to Mint (which is Ubuntu with a normal desktop) and they seem to like it but I just stayed and worked around the annoying shit that Canonical did. I'm more than satisfied with it.

I never install my OS on any machine but always run off of a flash. I've been doing this for years and wouldn't change. It makes life very easy. Of course, I keep only the OS on the flash and all my work on other drives/devices, except for a convenience partition for work data that I keep on the flashes, themselves..

I ordered a Confederate Battle Flag on Thursday, and got an e-mail saying it had shipped, including a tracking number.

Tonight I got another e-mail:

We are and always will sell ALL American and Confederate Historical Flags and Apparel.

Due to the overwhelming and instant demand for our CSA flags, Supply/Inventory/Logistics have been maxed out (in the short run).

Please expect delivery delays of 3-5 business days on your recent order.

This weekend, we will be working around the clock and partial shipping the items that we do have.

We will...as always...DELIVER!


Their website now indicates all Confederate flags are sold out. I may have gotten in just under the wire.

862 I just googled Jess Ships and read the article about him/her at advocate.com. It was posted on the 24th, so Shipps committed suicide before all the gay marriage hoopla. One of the reasons for the suicide was his long-term unemployment after leaving the military so he could 'transition'. It is current policy that transgenders who wish to transition leave the military first. I think we can all predict what will happen next.

869 An estimated 15,500 transgender people serve in the military, according to the Williams Institute, a legal think tank that studies sexual-orientation and gender-identity issues. The Pentagon will not disclose how many have been discharged. Palm Center Executive Director Aaron Belkin, whose group studies the issue, said that at least a dozen people have been discharged in the past six months because of their transgender identity.

Things like common sense gun control. . . and he has yet to negotiate those six new foreign policy trade agreements. There is that whole 'free flow of labor across national boundaries' thing he wants to accomplish. There is history to be made.

910 A top commander in southwest Asia reminded U.S military personnel stationed in Muslim countries in the Middle East of the restrictions placed on them during Ramadan. According to a report by the U.S. Air Forces Central Command Public Affairs, Brig. Gen. John Quintas, 380th Air Expeditionary Wing commander in Southwest Asia, said that the U.S. is "committed to the concepts of tolerance, freedom and diversity." But he added that soldiers should "become more informed and appreciative of the traditions and history of the people in this region of the world... [R]emember we are guests here and that the host nation is our shoulder-to-shoulder, brothers and sisters in arms, risking their lives for our common cause to defeat terrorism."

During the 30-day religious celebration of Ramadan, even non-Muslims are expected to obey local laws regarding eating, drinking, and using tobacco in public. Violators can be fined up to $685 or receive two months in jail. A spokesperson for United States Central Command [CENTCOM] said that "we are not aware of any specific instances of anyone being arrested" for such violations.

\For military personnel outside of U.S.-controlled areas, the only exceptions for the rules are for those "performing strenuous labor." Such personnel are "authorized to drink and consume as much food as they need to maintain proper hydration and energy." It is unclear what constitutes "strenuous labor" or whether additional exceptions might be made during a heatwave affecting some areas of the region that has taken hundreds of lives.

However I note that 5 assholes in black robes have rewritten the Constitution to assert federal authority over marriage. I do not see anything in my copy of the Constitution that says the federal government has any authority over marriage. It is purely a State issue. If I were a pastor I would tell them to piss up a rope. The ruling is purely illegal and I would refuse to follow it. As for the tax exempt status of churches the federal government has no say over this either. That tax exempt status existed before there was a federal government and they have no authority to tax churches.

But when the muzzies immigrate to our country and set up residence here for their own benefit, they have no reciprocal obligation to live in accordance with our customs, and are free to sue us for failing to change our customs and practices to better accommodate theirs.

Makes perfect sense.

950 Yeah that's bullshit. BUT as an aside, I was reviewing one Sailors Medical History the other day and he actually but down he was a BI-SEXUAL and his wife ( Active Duty Wife) was sitting in the waiting room? I was speechless

I never understood how any married person could say they were bi. Unless they are admitting or planning on cheating on their spouse.

Chicago has had the cloudiest June in 120 years.

954 So, it looks like the leftists are degrading the ability of the armed forces under their control in the name of PC while simultaneously poking the armed civilian population with a stick.

I wonder if it occurs to any them that might be a problem.

956 Just popping in for a minute to ask for prayer.

Tomorrow I begin serving a new church as their pastor. The church has some big challenges. For my Christian brothers and sisters on this board. .I would be grateful for your prayers that through my service God might be glorified, Christ might be lifted up and the gospel faithfully proclaimed despite human opposition or that of powers and principalities. I also ask for prayer for the lay servants who will also be working with me in this effort and also preaching there sometimes. Prayers of goodwill for us from the Jewish brothers and sisters are also gratefully appreciated.
Because as you know, folks, as I keep saying- it doesn't matter which shingle you hang outside your church or Synagogue. This administration doesn't care for conservative people of religious Faith. It doesn't care for conservative people who are Atheists or Agnostic either, but the big push will come against the conservative Christians and Jews.

Thx.

It's all part and parcel of critical theory.

It's the destruction of E. Pluribis Unem.

You create many disparate and competing groups and make them attack the dominate culture.

It's all part of the plan.

They probably view it as an opportunity, since they're busy arming the civilian branches of the government. Remember one of Obama's stated goals was to have a civilian force with equal power to the military? Now damn near every Federal agency has SWAT teams.

Yeah, but they are going after the police, too, and all those Federal Agencies also have to deal with PC.

That's a lot of it, but not all of it. The Leftist ideology starts with "there is no truth", which is actually a self-refuting statement, but I digress. If there's no good or evil, or right or wrong, then the success or failure of ideas and movements is random chance. The fact that their ideas, movements, and nations always fail doesn't convince them that their base assumption is wrong... it convinces them that somehow, they're being cheated at life's roulette wheel. That's where their pathological hatred of everything good and decent in the world comes from - it works, and it works consistently, therefore to them, it's cheating and has to be punished.

968 Libs are of the opinion that they have us just where they want us; it reminds me of the jubilation of the other prisoners upon finding out that Rorschach was now locked up with them.

969 Shipps also complained he couldnt afford medical care? What? If he meant for transitioning, I guess they are aiming for us to pay for it. I believe they will insist all insurance cover it.

970 Thanks, Fellow Ace of Spaders it's now time to take the boy for a physical so he can compete in school cross country next year.

Consider finding time to be off the board today and doing things that make you happy. :^)

See you Monday.

And good luck with your new job, FS.
