"In a democracy (‘rule by mob’), those who refuse to learn from history will be the majority and will dictate that everyone else suffer for their ignorance."
The ACLU is a sick, sick organization. I’d almost go so far as to say evil, but for the occasional accidental good it may do. Nah. Accidental or incidental good doesn’t ameliorate its evil.
Just stop it.
Others hammer at various ills perpetrated by this commie front organization (look it up; you have access to google), and I’ve listed a few of the ACLU’s attacks on civilization. But I’d like to focus on just one clear attack on the morals of our nation’s youth today.
On the one hand, it’s axiomatic that the ACLU is opposed to groups that promote ethical, moral behavior in our youth:
[Robert Bork Jr.] …the son of the one-time Supreme Court nominee, accused the ACLU of overreaching, saying that the civil-liberties group had been “relentless in its assault on the Boy Scouts over the last 25 years.”
No kidding. *sigh*
On the other hand, the ACLU is blatantly supportive of organizations that actively seek to corrupt the morals of our youth:
…the ACLU lately has stained the dark side of its reputation through its actions in two cases involving the treatment of vulnerable, young Americans. The ACLU is defending those who abuse children while attacking those who give them moral guidance. This contrast reveals the priorities of today’s ACLU.The Manhattan-based public-interest law firm is defending the North American Man-Boy Love Association in a $200 million civil lawsuit filed by Mr. and Mrs. Robert Curley. The Curleys claim that Charles Jaynes was driven by the literature and website of NAMBLA, an outfit that advocates sex between grown men and little boys, reportedly as young as age 8. _*_
Yep. Bust the Boy Scouts’ balls and support NAMBLA.
Disgusting.
And ya know, in any society that had any moral fiber, the ACLU would be run outa business… if not run outa town on a rail after an introduction to Dr. Tarr and Mr. Fether…

“Come out, come out wherever you are!” A new Precision Guided Humor Assignment:
What scandals about themselves are the Mainstream Media trying to keep quiet?
*It wasn’t Dorothy’s house that killed her. Hillary Clintoon clawed her way out of Helen Thomas’ chest, and that’s how the Wicked Witch of the East really died. What we see (when our eyes can take the pain) when we look at Helen Thomas is not the original Helen Thomas (as horrible as that might be to contemplate) but just another Mass Media Podperson. (It also explains the stench.)
*Dan Blather was the “annonymous source” of the Killian memos. It has since been replaced by yet another podperson of the Blather model while the “Burkett-Dan Blather” has been recalled to the mothership for R&R. (That’s Reaming and Raking.)
*Evil Glenn’s puppy blending began with his initiation by the Walter Cronk-ite podperson into the inner circle of Zirkonian Satanism. (The cannibalistic attacks on “homeless persons” is simply the result of Evil Glenn’s attempts to balance his diet.)
*The George Stephanopolous model isn’t gay. (It’s not even remotely happy, despite its attempt to appear so from time to time.) It’s queer, just not that queer. (“Oh, the shame! It’s not homosexual!”)
*The Larry O’Donnell podperson’s head has actually exploded 23,286 times, gaining it the record for most often replaced podperson.
*Speaking of which, the Rosie O’Donnell isn’t actually a podperson. Along with the Oprah, she’s just a blowup doll gone very, very bad… (of course, air leaks explain both the apparent occasional weight loss and the shrill hissing noises these airbags seem to emit.)
*(I’d originally planned on more of this sort of thing, but time has been eaten by locusts. Speaking of which, anyone have the remotest idea how to TS the Alps touchpad on a Sony Vaio notebook? Windows can no longer even find the thing, although third party diagnostics “see” it just fine… One of many “locusts” eating my time. Rediscovered why I dislike the Sony support site… Done, now. But no thanks to Sony—or any of my usually dependable techie resources. Lovely Daughter has her “Violeta” back, now, working properly.)
Sometimes the rudeness of folks just gets to me past my tolerance level…
Running a quick errand before the day got well and truly started. Driving dwon a typical two-lane street. Four “old broads” out walking… spread across more than 2/3 of the street, oblivious to taffic, not caring one bit that they were essentially blocking both lanes of traffic.
Would Not Move Outa the Way. Had to drive OUT of the roadway to get around them.
Comming back, there they were, doing it again.
They got a bigger piece of my mind than I could afford giving away.
Steamed? You betcha I was. Kids do this and while it’s just as rude and unsafe I can understand: they have the blanket stupidity of kids. Still tell ’em to move outa the way. But this? Women (even exceptionally stupid women) in their late 50s, early 60s know better.
They were just being exceptionally rude.
Actually, I kinda hope one of them whines to her husband about it and he comes by to “talk” to me. It’d be a way of letting off some steam.
(Did I say I am a tad steamed?)
Unconscionably, unacceptably rude.
But it’s what society, even here in America’s Third World Countyâ„¢ seems to have come to. I grew semi-resigned to this sort of behavior when I lived in “the good part of the ghetto” in Kansas City some years ago. People there would simply stop their cars in the middle of the street and talk, completely uncaring that they were blocking traffic. Groups of kids, ditto. But now the attitude that “It’s our street, and no one else can use it while we’re here” is the accepted mode for 60-ish old broads.
I say, Chain gang ’em.
I need a keeper.
I’ve discovered that my only hope for going back to read great blog discoveries is to blogroll ’em. NOW. I mean the very moment I say to myself, “Hey! This is a good read!” Otherwise, I lose ’em.
Bookmarks don’t help, cos no matter how finely I granularize my folders, eventually they get clogged with stuff I just wanna keep track of for a while, not really long-term (I guess I need an entirely different set of bookmarks, organized separately, for that sort of things. Yeh, I’ll do that Real Soon Now. Sure, I will. 🙂
Have to blogroll good sites IMMEDIATELY or they are lost. Yeh, I have a lotta sites’ RSS feeds loaded, too. Helps me keep track of new posts at active blogs and skim quickly when (as usual) it seems I have little time to get all my blogroll read.
But I like surfing off my blogroll, cos I leave more tracks for my fav sites telling ’em “Hi, it’s just me passing through” even when I don’t have time to comment.
BeatCanvas is a site worth visiting. Beautiful layout and design, solid content. I’ve “found” and “lost” Brett in my bookmarks several times. So, see? I blogrolled Brett today. Check him out, eh?
Yaketty yak* (yeh, don’t ask me why I associate this fine song with Jean FRAUD sKerry, cos I dunno, exactly… )
Free John Kerry’s 180
free180_02 Image: Something… and Half of Something
What? Am I still on that kick?
Well, yes, I am.
Riding with The Son on some Very Importatn Errands, today, we were having a conversation about Jean FRAUD sKerry’s complete, total and absolute lack of integrity, honesty and non-stinky poopy-faced weasel words. (I have freely substituted euphemisms for the actual content). Content included Son’s remarks that credible rebuttal of sKerry’s detractors would necessitate releasing his records to other than friendly media outlets (for sKeryy-friendly spin).
Of course.
Then, as my mind is wont to do, I took a mental right-turn 90 degrees from our conversation:
“Oh, by the way, we have to remember that tonight is trash night. Need to get all the trash out this evening.”
Son looked at me and commented, “That’s an interesting association: Kerry/get the trash out.”
Exactly. (Sometimes my unconscious is soooo much smarter than I am. OK, most of the time. 🙂

*I dunno, maybe it’s just that sKerry never really grew up and accepted responsibility for his words and deeds. He needed someone to practice some tough love early, and now it may just be too late for him to learn what the experiences of this song might’ve taught him…
( The Coasters )
Take out the papers and the trash
Or you don’t get no spendin’ cash
If you don’t scrub that kitchen floor
You ain’t gonna rock and roll no more
Yakety yak (don’t talk back)
Yakety yak, yakety yak
Yakety yak, yakety yak
Yakety yak, yakety yak
Yakety yak, yakety yak

Color theme of the week or some such thing picked up from Nancy and Christine. Check their ideas of green at their blogs.
Of course, I can’t really enter the photo theme challenge with this cos I didn’t take the photo, but maybe I can participate as an auxilliary in appreciation of their photo entries.
I haven’t watched network news for years. And, frankly, when I did I thought Peter Jennings’ genuinely pleasant demeanor and projection of a sympathetic personality made him the most dangerous of the Mass Media Podpeople.
But. No one who’s not a mass–murdering Islamofascist subhuman monster deserves to die of lung cancer. (Though of course mass–murdering Islamofascist subhuman monsters deserve to die the death of a thousand paper cuts while suffering from every cruel disease known to man—and maybe a few as yet unknown.) No, not even those who essentially give it to themselves by lifestyle choices deserve death from lung cancer.
Sorry you had to go that way, Peter.
My sympathies to his family.
FWIW, his book, The Century, was a little less biased than his nightly broadcasts, from what little I gather from skimming it. The book at least is not a bad legacy, IMO.
What? You don’t already visit Jerry Pournelle’s website at least once a week? *sigh*
🙂
Here’s a very brief sample of why you should:
“The last place in the world that Marxism is entrenched and solid is in the Modern Language Association and our college departments of English and other ‘Humanities’. Now I understand the urge to moderation in enthusiasm about Science as the only thing worth understanding and studying. There is more to life. Man does not live by bread, free trade, and maximum production efficiency alone; at least not and stay human. C. P. Snow tried to show some of this, and rightly. Science is a way to address certain problems, and to answer many questions. It generates technology. It has changed the world.
There can be and are legitimate criticisms of science from the Humanities. C. S. Lewis in The Abolition of Man did a splendid job of raising important questions, and his That Hideous Strength is a demonstration in fiction of what can happen when we apply technology without thought to ends. That, however, is not what ‘deconstruction’ and Feminist Theory and the rest of this academic shamanism is about.”_*_
Dr. Pournelle and his readers discuss such a wide array of topics that that sample could be misleading. Just take it as given that you will find something of interest on one of your visits. Give it a while. At least one of your own “hot topics” will be discussed by folks who are smarter than I.
You can thank me later.
Among mass media types, there are a very few who do snark well…
Ann Coulter is Queen of Vicious Polemic. Mike Adams is Count of Academic Invective. But James Lileks and Mark Steyn are the Co-regents of High-Class Snark. An example from Steyn:
…Sitting behind yet another Vermont granolamobile bearing the bumper sticker “Bush Scares Me,” I found myself thinking that perhaps the easiest way to reduce childhood obesity in American families might just to be to shout out, “Look! There’s big scary Bush! Run! Run for your lives! No, wait, there’s John Bolton, too! Better cut through the park before he puts his hands on his hips in an aggressive manner!”
