The Morning Rant
During his sermon a couple of weeks ago, our pastor mentioned that recent events had caused to think about "privilege", what it is and what it means. He suggested that a better word for it might be 'blessings'. He didn't specifically say this, but that fits in very well with the idea that progressivism is a heresy of Christianity. It's actually not dignified enough to be a heresy, it's more like a parody or lampoon. The word 'blessing' carries with it the idea of fortune and favor, and concomitant gratitude, while 'privilege' immediately brings to mind envy, resentment, and bitterness. All of progressive religion is wrapped around those three (negative) things. The problem is, you can't build a civilization on envy, resentment, and bitterness. That's a one-way ticket to barbarism. And this is why the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone will fail. I mean, other than the fact that they're all a bunch of idiots. CHAZ is probably filled with envy, resentment, and bitterness. Those kids are part of the most privileged, wealthy, and entitled generation that's ever existed, yet who among them have ever achieved anything they can be proud of? They all have smart phones that gives them the world literally at their fingertips and all they can do is rail and curse the world that gave them these things. Another aspect of the progressive religion is that its disciples are taught that the reason they don't have what they think they want (influence, success, a girlfriend) is because someone is deliberately preventing them from getting these things. This entity has been called such names as "The Man" or "The System" but lately has been called "White Privilege." Like this is a zero-sum game where all of the white guys have taken all of it before anyone had the chance. But this obviously isn't true. That always hasn't been the case. In other times and places, if you were born a serf, there was little chance you could ever be anything else. But America has been the country that provides the greatest chance that a poor person could attain a significantly better, more prosperous life. But it's not some carefully guarded guild secret known to but a few. There are a number of ways to express the preconditions of privilege, but here is the way I like to describe it: The Ten Commandments. Yeah, yeah, boring, I know. But read them. Study them. Think about them. Try to build your life around them: Honor God. Honor your parents. Don't take things that aren't yours. Restrain your violent impulses. Restrain your sexual impulses. Never make false accusations. Do not envy (there's that word again) others when they are blessed in ways that you aren't. Mind you, this is not an absolute guarantee of success for individuals, but over time, a culture that follows these rules will be healthier, wealthier, and more successful than those that don't. These are the building blocks of a superior civilization. And people who follow the rules should never, ever have to apologize to those who don't.

No, they probably can't be. And it is also very historically ignorant and they misattribute causes. It isn't a Trump appointment thing. It also isn't a Bush appointment thing. Keep going back. Hell, look at Eisenhower - he was an unmitigated disaster in terms of the SCOTUS. He appointed a ton of justices and they were awful as a rule.
The problem is a powerful and largely unaccountable institution that fears for its legitimacy as winds of change blow, leading them to very predictably move toward increased state power with astonishing regularity. Conservative strict-constructionists become communists when they get to the bench. The biggest surprise at this point is that a handful of them *haven't* done so (Thomas, for example).

These are basically the blessings of liberty, combined with some ten commandments type life style. All Americans are privileged to have such success at hand, if they take responsibility for their own actions.
There are certain economic and social advantages to being born into a family with influence (of any color) ... but those children by the third generation are often spoiled and probably less content with life (as they wrap their Maserati around a tree, as Tucker puts it).
The blue collar working class can be very satisfying, and we can continue to improve it if we stop electing tyrannical leftists that want everyone on some form of welfare, and that support the destruction and burning of small business owners. (by BLM and Antifa, funded/directed by ? globalists?)

There's a scene like that in Atlas Shrugged, where John Galt is talking with one of the politicos about what terms he would come to with them. As usual, Galt refused to negotiate and said he doesn't negotiate for his life or at the point of a gun. There is then an exchange that goes something like:
Politico: But that's not true. You'd pay a doctor to set your broken bone.
Galt: Not if he's the one who broke it.
They break it and then demand that we rebuild it. They will get a rude awakening (as will everyone else) when it turns out that it can't be rebuilt.

that's why I'm pissed. It shows the other four don't trust Roberts on
2A. It only takes four justices to accept a case. If they don't it
probably means they think Roberts has gone wobbly.

Forget about who ruled in the majority for a second. Think about what they did. The court just legislated into the Civil Rights Act what was not plainly included. In fact, Congress has tried, and failed, to add precisely what SCOTUS just stated was included. They have also stomped on people who have a right, based on religious values, to exclude certain people from their employ.
This isn't a matter of discriminating based on race, which is indefensible. There is no "cause" or religious reason that justifies that. But being gay or transgender is completely antithetical, and demonstrably has been for ages, to many religions.
Yes, thank you Gorsuch and Roberts. The so-called "originalists" who will now be legislating for us.
I completely fear any ruling from this court. They will strip us of our liberties one at a time. Just wait until the next Second Amendment case comes up. That will be the next to go.

And then the women pushed back on the convicted criminals because they're probably rapey, and it's hilarious.

It is hard to predict. Is Gorsuch going to be a bust? Maybe. Looks that way. But here's the thing: there's only one chance to possibly get someone good, and that chance is a Republican president.
A Democrat *will* nominate a known-quantity anti-constitutionalist. The outcome is known in advance. A Republican will usually *try* to nominate someone decent. They often miss, or the nominee betrays the country and the president's expectations - but they at least try.
With a Republican, you have a chance - however small - to get someone decent. With a Democrat, there is no chance at all.

Does anyone doubt that if Congress were to propose such language as either an amendment to existing law, or as a brand new law, that it would pass and be signed into law? I don't doubt it.
By doing so, they have firmly rooted the Humpty Dumpty precedent:
"When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean - neither more nor less." "The question is," said Alice, "whether you can make words mean so many different things." "The question is," said Humpty Dumpty, "which is to be master - that's all."
They can put ANYTHING in that law now.

Same here with a "news" story from last week about "the fatal shooting of a black man by police." They conveniently forgot to mention that he led the cops on an auto chase, then sprang out and ran, and when they closed in, he pulled out a gun and pointed it at the cops.
They lit him up, and good for them.

Yeah. I mean he's not wrong, we should bring the gospel to those around us if we can and find the opportunity but all pastors seem to have this schizophrenia when it comes to gifts and offices.
Most of the time they agree, recognize, and teach that not all gifts are equally distributed (as the Bible clearly teaches) so all are stronger in some gifts while weaker in others. Some are called to be evangelists, some to be hospitable, some to be creative, etc.
All gifts are given to all of God's children, so to whatever degree we are gifted and have an opportunity we should reach out, but pastors seem to then think everyone is completely gifted and called to evangelism at all times in all places.

Any rational person can see that racism is not the real problem here. The real problem is that inner cities celebrate a culture that refuses responsibility, family, and work. Doesn't matter what color you are, abandoning those attributes means that you fail. Look at rural areas, where traditional values have not decayed as much.
A serious attempt to resolve these problems would address these attributes. Some have tried, and been attacked, because if these downtrodden inner city residents became successful, a lot of political power would be lost by others.

Firing someone simply because they are homosexual et al is being a jerk, and bad economics. But we are supposed to be free to make stupid decisions and be a jerk. I oppose firing someone who you find out is a lesbian just because of that.
If they are hitting on all the women in the shop, proselytizing, making political statements, and being generally a crappy worker, then yeah I want the fired, but for that not simply for being a lesbian.
I can disagree with and even consider things wrong in people without needing to act on that or penalize them for it. We used to all understand this, at least at some level. We used to get along with our leftist friends and joke about our differences.

There are plenty of rural areas, both black and white, with the same problems as inner cities - poverty, disease, illiteracy, drug use, broken homes, and on and on.

They might go that way but I doubt it. If it was a lock they would have just turned down the appeal.
Bottom line is this is not about Trump's taxes, this is about the House of Reps challenging a President on his life before he got elected using a fishing expedition in an attempt to get "dirt" on him. That's within the purview of voters, not who controls the House.

The problem is it was already illegal on the question of gender, skin color and religious affiliation, but not illegal against gay people, so it left an uneven law on the books.
The legal remedy should have been for the law to be changed by legislature, not for fuckhead judges to decide to blatantly ignore the statute and rule however the fuck they like because feelings and we are all in this together as cocksuckers.
On top of that, a provision should have been made clear that this not extend or infringe on the religious liberty of non-secular organizations.

Yep and that's why people with sloppy managers will always have issues firing people.
Even in at will States, you have to document why you are firing someone or stuff like this will come back and fvck you in the a$$. Even though technically at will law states you can fire someone for any reason or no reason, doesn't mean the Courts have twisted that until it's broken.
If managers/owners would do their jobs and document problem employees performance and behavior like they should, this kind of stuff would not happen.

There's an easy solution to that. Same one used when catching a B&E tourist. Beat the shit out of them, repeat at random intervals over the next 24 hours until they no longer know a)who they are, b) who you are.
Roll them out naked and coated in honey in the middle of a forest.
Fire them for not showing up to work on time the next day.
This kind of vigilante justice is coming if the rule of law doesn't begin to prevail.

I'm more concerned about these businesses that feel completely at ease firing someone for expressing their viewpoints online while NOT at work. I'm not being anti-business, but if the "business" is being a leftist tool for the communist overthrow of the constitution, then that's a big time worry.
People being fired for expressing themselves privately, what's next, the government deciding who to hire based on the wokeness of their Twitter feed and Facebook friends?

I love that Maahty Walsh decided to "defund" the Boston police by taking their overtime budget and giving it to the lefty cause. Now that will really piss off the police.

I guess there were no investments prior to the 19th century.
My point is a broader one though. If the state can limit the ability of others against you they can also limit your rights against the others.

"And he (JC) gave some apostles and some prophets and some evangelists and some pastors and teachers 12 For the perfecting of the saints for the work of the ministry for the edifying of the body of Christ .... "
you mean all those guys are the worst possible advertisement? Paul said to "walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called". Our lives are the "witness" ... the advertisement, as it were. Or did JC (head of the body of Christ, we are each members in particular) ... screw up in those appointments?

Sure, but precedent makes laws these days. All it takes is for some person to win a case of being fired because they were talking about their personal views and now its effectively law.

To be fair, the Congressional politicians (all of them), are too busy chasing the graft to do their purported jobs of writing comprehensible honest legislation that is consistent with the principles of the Constitution!

Perhaps I should have just restricted the lament to myself, but I do know an awful lot of poor advertisements to Christianity in the world. We're all sinners, and hypocrites and saved only by the doing and dying of Jesus, not our goodness.
Most of us are pretty bad at living the life we're called to, I think.

That English edition of the koran is written by Abdullah Yusef Ali. From what I understand, a lot of mohammedans despise that translation, and hate Ali for desecrating the word of allah by interpreting it in the language of infidels.
Got that from one of Ali's grandsons, who was a student at UCSB when I was there. Dood was cool, used to do calculus for fun while drinking beer with the rest of us infidel reprobates.

Yeah there are quite a few purists who think that the only true version is in Arabic. They are probably either unaware or don't care that its been rewritten like 800 times over the years, and the very oldest versions are locked away so that nobody can look at them and see the differences.

The Founders deeply fucked up when they created the judicial branch of government.
Just about every liberal policy goal has been achieved through that, never mind voters routinely vote the same nonsense down over and over again.
They couldn't even pass gay marriage in California, but the Court always saves the day.

It wasn't really the founders. Blame Chief Justice John Marshall and the Marbury v Madison decision, which created the doctrine of Judicial Review.

The consensus is that only the "original" 7th century Arabic version is valid. It's that dialect that is the basis for Modern Standard Arabic, which is the common language of much of the Islamic world. It serves a similar purpose to Latin in Medieval and Early Modern Europe. I've heard that the actual modern Arabic vernaculars range from being more or less understandable between each other to essentially different languages.

Well, it kinda was the founders. They were so damn vague about the court that it left Marshall the room to grab as much power as he wanted. And I've never heard a satisfactory explanation how you derive Judicial Review from the Constitution or English Common law.
