Good morning, hard to believe that it is Saturday again.

Here in Boston the local Fake News is issuing somber warnings to people to avoid today's "Free Speech Rally," which they put in quotes.

They're going over all over the 'safety precautions' the city has planned to 'protect' people from this "Free Speech Rally."

They even went to local nearby businesses to see if they'll be closed today because of today's "Free Speech Rally" in fear of 'intimidation' and 'violence.'

Watching this you'd think a major storm was coming. A storm of hate.

39 re: that breast story

Leftists (typically homosexuals) in fashion and media have been pushing the relatively recent hyperfocus on buttocks just as they were behind the earlier push of angular, boyish women as models. Blurring all sexual lines set down by God has been the goal. This story is just one more example, just as much as the new male models in full makeup.

The goal has been widespread confusion, then rejection, of natural roles. If they succeeded in confusing enough adults (which they've done) it was only a matter of time before they could start to sow confusion in the minds of very young children, making them wonder if they're really boys or girls (which they're doing). Result: more homosexuals, or at least homosexual sympathizers and defenders. More people on their side = more political power = more Leftist authoritarianism and the crushing of all dissent.

That is the point we're quickly arriving at as a society. This is what we get for tolerating a perverted segment of society's enslavement to vanity and lust for political power over others, pushed by stealth communists who long ago infiltrated us.

Paranoid? Nope. We are where we are and we didn't get here by accident.

What alternative are they espousing? "We should be more like Sweden" was a common refrain by the limousine liberals in the past. Venezuela? What do we eat when the Zoos run out of animals?

All they offer is division and agitation, and tribalism. Hardly the recipe for tolerance and understanding.

Been married almost 20 years and having dated heavily before that in college and the Navy, I agree -- the hip/waist hourglass on women (those not self-buried in needless fat) does accentuate a woman's posterior. I'm convinced that's also part of God's design.

That is very different from the blurred, toxic sexual atmosphere we're not living in where (pardon my crudity) an ass is an ass, male or female, they're interchangeable.

It it reminds me of what the private school principle told me was the reason their grades ended with the 7th and why I had to move my daughter to the worthless public school.

Yes, certain jobs are gonna disappear. But Wawa is going to be able to sell a lot more sandwiches, which will increase their sales, which will impact other stuff, which will create a job somewhere else. Perhaps a higher paying job.

94 A full week now since the staged event what that was going to bring down Trump for sure and convince all of his deplorable voters that their racism can only be absolved by voting for Democrats.

And where are the polls showing the massive collapse in Trump's approval?

A full week and not one news story blaring the headline they were so sure was coming?

Where?

And you can't say there hasn't been some polling.

It's almost as if one could reckon the poll taken say the exact opposite; that his base is getting stronger.

As was said by William B. Allen in his American Greatness article:

"It's not Trump They Hate--It's Us."

While we're toppling offensive symbols, what about the Democratic Party?

The Democratic Party historically is the party of slavery. The Democratic Party is the party of Jim Crow laws. The Democratic Party fought civil rights for a century.

And so by rights - or at least by the standards established by the Cultural Revolutionaries of today's American left - we should ban the Democratic Party.



And of course the comments to the article are the Republican Party is the party of racism and you can't blame the Dems for something that happened 100 years ago

196 Leftists (typically homosexuals) in fashion and media have been pushing the relatively recent hyperfocus on buttocks just as they were behind the earlier push of angular, boyish women as models. Blurring all sexual lines set down by God has been the goal. This story is just one more example, just as much as the new male models in full makeup.

The goal has been widespread confusion, then rejection, of natural roles. If they succeeded in confusing enough adults (which they've done) it was only a matter of time before they could start to sow confusion in the minds of very young children, making them wonder if they're really boys or girls (which they're doing). Result: more homosexuals, or at least homosexual sympathizers and defenders. More people on their side = more political power = more Leftist authoritarianism and the crushing of all dissent.

That is the point we're quickly arriving at as a society. This is what we get for tolerating a perverted segment of society's enslavement to vanity and lust for political power over others, pushed by stealth communists who long ago infiltrated us.

Paranoid? Nope. We are where we are and we didn't get here by accident.

Last night I finally got around to watching Project Runway's season 16 opener along with Road to the Runway, where they showcase the designers who will be competing. They've always been gay-centric and politically correct, but this season it's on steroids.

This time around they gave us gender-fluid guy, the climate change awareness through fashion guy, the goofy Muslima, and the incest twins. They've always had obnoxious designers-you-love-to-hate and lots of catty, campy drama, but at least it was about the competition and the clothing. Now they've gone full-on "celebrate degeneracy".

Posted by: jwest at August 19, 2017 09:34 AM (Zs4uk)


Why bother wasting an evening? I went to one reunion. After about 15 minutes I said to myself, 'Why the hell am I here?'

If it was to play the game of 'my dicks bigger than yours' I had already accomplished more than anyone in the room. Bigger house, bigger paycheck, more cars, boat, vacation home, etc. I had the best looking wife - though it was a toss-up with a down-to-earth blue collar guy who I identified with more than the smug bastids who were so 'cool' in HS but were now desk-bound fat losers. I didn't brag to anyone there. Listened to their humble brags enough to know I kicked their asses. (please excuse for going Moo-Moo there for a minute)

A friend from sports (I thought) -- who just happened to be African-American had a chip on his shoulder the size of Texas and I wanted to slap him silly. At about the one hour point, after consuming some mediocre food and a single watered down drink I was out of there. I'll never waste another evening on a reunion. *That* past can only be revisited by fools.

On the other side, the ones who would be doctors, lawyers and business owners had pretty much revealed themselves by the time high school was finished.

Yes, that is correct. A shell script is a text file whose first line must be:

#!

Called a "shebang". So I found your typo kind of funny. The default shell is the Bourne shell program that executes the script. But if you want your script to be executed by another shell, you can specify that after the shebang.

Conservatism was always a purely theoretical political philosophy with very little real world application or implementation.

People have been able to get very rich writing books and championing it and a politcial party has used it to amass personal power and wealth but that's about it.

And as whites move on down the road towards minority status we will see whites abandoning the GOP and moving towards White Nationalist parties

This White Nationalism will not be a supremecy movement but will be an racial/ethno party similar to what Democrat party and it's racial/ethno groups are.

290 So - a couple of days ago, I drove out to a Chik-Fil-A to get some hate chicken and a hate peach shake.

Problem is there are only two in this area and they are quite a hike for me - out in the suburbs.

Is that true in other parts of the country? I wondered about that and thought it might be because it might be difficult to find staff in the cities who are polite and cheerful. (Go to any urban McDonald's or Burger King to see my point.)

BTW several of the cheery and polite staffers at the Chik-Fil-A's I went to were black, as were a good number of the patrons, so it's culture not race.

Chik-Fil-A is clearly not diverse enough when it comes to hiring surly, rude employees who might spit on your food if they don't like you.

Police told news reporters Friday night that the encounter took place outside a Stop 'n Save in Fairchance, a borough about 52 miles south of Pittsburgh. They say that as the officers approached the man, he pulled out a gun from a backpack and fired it. They confirmed the suspect was shot.

I really think the left is overplaying its' hand here. They have been emboldened by their successes on college campuses and now think they can turn the whole country into the Berkeley campus. But there is a reason we say college is not the real world.

Every time we start re-fighting "The War Between the States" on this forum, I'm firmly on the side of Lincoln and the Union. BUT it never bothered me a whit how Southerners chose to honor their great men or how they drew courage and inspiration from their memory. Statues in public places are often beautiful to look at as well --especially in an increasingly ugly world.
But I'm not as optimistic as you and Yes, I could see Northern politicians going along with the iconoclasts out of fear or political expediency.

I wish someone could effectively call out W and his father on this in a public forum. It would be funny to see the media defending the Bush presidencies.

My take...They were President of the US. Everyday they could have given an approximation of the number of children sacrificed that day and listed the Senators and Congressmen that supported that slaughter. Trump is no better but he didn't run on stopping abortion.

331 The student charged with pushing down the Confederate statue in Durham, North Carolina on Monday may be rewarded with a scholarship for her actions from North Carolina Central University.

The Chronicle of Higher Education reported on Wednesday that proposals are being made at the college to award Takiyah Thompson, who has been charged with two felonies participation in a riot and inciting others to riot for her actions.

News that Thompson was involved in the demonstration was reportedly met with widespread support from campus faculty and students in her Introduction to Political Science class.

I saw the demonstration and the toppling of the monument. I think its a healthy thing for students to have a voice and to be leaders in activism, said Jim C. Harper II, chair of the history department. Were going to do everything we can to support Ms. Thompson.

I'm not saying conservatism is ethno based, but for the most part, the only block of people that identify themselves as conservative are white people in any meaningful numbers or in practice.

And as the GOP which is the primary home of conservatives abandons it's base, ie white base, these people are going to gravitate to the new political parties and movements that will spring up to take it's place and enter the fray.

The white majority of this country is being purposefully diminished in numbers and power so whites are either going to accept this diminishment or fight it.

Thus the rise and movement to White Nationalism.

I went to my reunion this summer. It was put on by the geeks and nerds, but the nicest cheerleaders, the gregarious boys who played baseball and football. It was fun. There were two couples who married classmates, but hadn't dated in high school.

I don't really agree with the theory that you can see the future man in the boy. I never thought my crabby, emo classmate would become vivacious and cheerful. The fat girl is a babe. The crazy one settled down and is a minister. The happy-go-lucky guy with all the work-ethic of a slug has a couple businesses, a big house with toys, and says a switch turned on when he was twenty. If anything, I haven't reached the potential of high school!

with the following caveats:

1) If a particular state wants a confederate memorial on their own non-federal lands, they can't be forced to remove it by the Federal government.

2) If a private entity wants a memorial on their own land, the state cannot stop them regardless of the states policy.

Would that make a majority of people happy?

Lincoln was a politician similar to Bill Clinton and Obama. Lincoln goaded the southern states. Then didn't let the emergency go to waste. Debased the currency. Started a military draft. Made large numbers of his constituents war profiteers. If you study history before they get it destroyed (war on books, easier to wipe a kindle with a cloth than a book) you might have different opinions on Lincoln. Fake news is as old as news.

I think Lincoln prayed to God that he go down in history as a good President. Probably JFK did to. If so they prayed for their own assassinations.

No. You need to study war-by-other-means to understand why Trump should let this die just like the Russia-election tampering fake news.

The Civil war was 150 years ago. Let it go. What is going on has more in common with 1776 than 1861. Obama is King George and Trump is George Washington.

Lord North wanted to bring the colonies to heel. North had important wars to fight and the Americas were suppose to help pay for them.

Ted Kennedy scuttled universal healthcare by Nixon and Carter - for the most venal reasons. He scuttled it under Nixon because the unions back then knew government healthcare sucked and they owned him. The unions no longer care about their rank and file today. He scuttled it under Carter because he wanted it to be an issue in the 1980 Dem primary. Then Reagan brought the Republican Party back to it's senses on the issue and it took until the 2006 and 2008 wipeout elections to get it done.

It's been there at least 40 years and for the past decade or so everyone has been taking bets about when the homeowner would be "forced" to remove it --as Mexicans have been moving into the neighborhood.

How bout getting the Antifa to say that the reason the statues need to come down is because it was the actions of supporting slavery as a platform of the CSA that they need to come down.

Slavery.

CSA supported slavery

Slavery is very bad

Ergo, every identifiable organization, nation or person which at any time supported or advocated in support of slavery needs to be treated the exact same way as the CSA.

472 Charles Barkley is the only guy I know who has not backed down on a number of issues.

- Said slavery has nothing to do wIth now, b/c no one has gone thru it. The backlash was intense. He would not back down.

- A number of black celebrities noted Michael Brown being a thug. Backlash was obviously huge. They all shut up & reversed their statements. He would not.

- BLM & cops. He said if cops left inner cities they would be war zones, & again, would not back down.

- The amount of death threats, etc. that he has put up with must be extreme. I've never seen him back down. Nor whine & complain.

For all his faults, the guys has something called courage. I don't know many people who could stand up to that onslaught again & again & again. And, he doesn't have to do it.

Where's Oprah & Michael Jordan & all those who you know think this is all batshit crazy. Any courage shown there for all their privilege? Nope.

Plus, Barkley Is humourous. Which is always a plus.
