Stop Me Before I Vote Again

Fadduh Smiff sez:
Of course it's the last-ditch defense of the contemptible Democrats: Dems might appoint Dracula to the Court, but Republicans would appoint Cthulhu. Aieee!

But it goes deeper. This carefully cultivated fear of pantomime villains enrages me, in part at least, because it seems unmanly...

Back during the '00 campaign, when I pointed out the utter lack of any substantive difference between the Democrats and Republicans, any Liberals within earshot would get all bent out of shape and start whining, "but... what about Roe v. Wade? Gore would appoint pro-choice Justices! What about that, huh?"

Back then, when a Liberal reacted that way, I wanted to smack the shit out of them. Luckily -- or not -- I've mellowed a bit in my middle age, and nowadays I just laugh in their faces, because I've realized that's the only response they're entitled to.

I think any Liberal who whines about the Supreme Court during this "election" should be made to wear one of those "crawling text" electric signs around their necks displaying the message I DON'T HAVE A SINGLE IDEA LEFT TO MY NAME, AND I'M PISSING MY PANTS IN SHEER TERROR.

Seriously, is that the best those doorknobs can come up with? "What about the Supreme Court?" Christ, sometimes I find myself going back to wanting to smack the shit out of them again.

OT, but here is someone not lacking in virtus (it shines through even if you can only follow snatches here and there).

One Mr. Smith's favorite targets has been exposed on Counterpunch.

sk
i think has found a use for a word
now used only by george Will reactionary frauds

virtue

and
i agree use the latin
virtus
to mark
the distinction in use
and to trump Willish pretension

using the latin
shields the gender slant
from the deep connotative circuitry
we anglophones
have linked to both manly
and virtuous

but we mustn't stop at that half way station
we need to press on until we find a culture that has used a neutral or a gal form
to describe this trait complex

harry mansfield had something else in mind then father snith
he had identrified the trait complex but insisted the duty to embody this complex
remain assigned to its proper gender

oh noooooo

demon porn !!!!

the line is crossed

we move from the problematic "ground"
of social-psychological science

to bath tub gin quality brain voodoo

look anti porn mania is strictly 20th century
now its anti obesity that raises hackles on
militant do good-ers and abolish-ers
and ban-ers
shocked sugary pinks are in

sk,
Precisely the reason why Die Linke as a party is still under surveillance by the same Verfassungsschutz that destroyed their files on the NSU a couple of weeks ago. And in spite of her righteous manliness, Frau Wagenknecht's words fall on the deaf ears of the marionettes she mocks, including the equivalent of the US Supreme Fingerpuppets. Nevertheless, I believe she resonates with a growing minority.

you must ee my late brother JS's

"glorious struggle vixens of der link "

btw

davidly is quoted several times
in the "export" version

d'Avidly is too modest to tell us

his blade unit's sharp edge

"Like glans through the outer-mass, so are the graze of our knives"

Last week, midway through a leisurely Saturday afternoon, I got an email from MSNBC asking me to be on the Melissa Harris Perry Show a week later (July 7th). I was delighted to accept, as MHP is not your usual American journalist. A professor of political science at Tulane University, she is an outspoken African American feminist and a progressive voice in a media landscape dominated by right-wing talking heads. MSNBC is a rare media oasis in the U.S. where one gets to hear some actual critical analysis...

Oh, Jesus H. Tap-Dancing CHRIST.

I need a drink. Or two. Or twelve. D'ah, screw it, just give me some heroin.

Hell hath no fury like a professor scorned.

"Frau Wagenknecht's words fall on the deaf ears of the marionettes she mocks, including the equivalent of the US Supreme Fingerpuppets. Nevertheless, I believe she resonates with a growing minority."

Indeed. Great speech. She's part Iranian too, and it's interesting I know that but nothing else about her having never heard of her until sk's link. I wonder if she's Muslim? That would surely be used against her given today's trendy eurofascism.

Notice how it's the women in our midst with the greatest courage and integrity? Cindy Sheehan, Cynthia McKinney, Bergitta Jondottir and now Ms Wagenknecht. Perhaps "virtus" should be a gender-specific word.

This is why I am against nihilism. Leaders like this deserve our support and if you really want to spite the duopoly a vote for them seems a safe way to do so. Fight the bastards everywhere, including the ballot box.

I wonder if she's Muslim? That would surely be used against her given today's trendy eurofascism.

I've never heard mention of her being associated with religion, as it were. Her father split when she was still a toddler.

I suppose if she or her party (let alone her fraction) were ever a real threat, someone might try to sling phony heritage at her. As it is, it's not necessary.

Not that the accusations against her aren't petty: dealing in class warfare; eating lobster; wearing her hair like Rosa Luxemburg (yet to be proved).

Oh, op, you are a caution.
