I’ve Resisted Temptation Long Enough

For a couple of years now, I’ve been tempted to post a version of this with a brief commentary. It’s time. Our culture is so debased, now, that this is one of the BEST pieces of music to have been written recently. As music, it stands head and shoulders above ANYTHING else I’ve heard from contemporary pop culture manufactured “music” industry.

Why, the “hamster” can even reproduce pitches better than 99% (plus) of contemporary pop “music” so-called “artists”. Is it any wonder that a culture so debased that THIS would be among the best music that it produces has chosen to inflict the national government such as we now have on everyone?

‘Nuff said.

Well, It Could Be…

Every now and then, our fairly high dollar Bosch dishwasher (which we really, really like, otherwise) will just lose its mind. Turn on. Seems to cycle and… about 90 seconds later beeps to tell us the wash cycle is finished, when it never really began. None of the troubleshooting instructions from Bosch affect it at all, but if I throw the breaker for the circuit the dishwasher is on, wait about a minute and turn the circuit back on–effectively performing a hard reset of its tiny lil brain–the thing works like a champ.

Must be an embedded Windows OS. *heh*

Stupid Ads

Dialog from a smartphone ad:

“When you build an aircraft, you want it to go up and stay up.”

Really?!? Anyone “flying” it, and any passengers, would at best starve to death (unless they were able to get in flight provisioning).

Ya think?

Not bad, but rather loosey-goosey generic. Of course, he says a large part of the problem is “people of faith who stayed behind church doors” instead of speaking out, becoming active against the evils around us.

No, “Wild Bill”, those are not “people of faith” but for the most part a people of comfort, people of fear, people of the sick culture they live in FAKING a faith they do not possess while living a faith in a secular America–political, economic–that is antithetical to the faith they profess.

Of course, “Wild Bill” simply mentions the Bible and refers to a generic “people of faith” and some generic “churches”–another thing that chaps my gizzard along the lines of gizzard-chapping from nonsense phrases like “traditional values”.

But that’s another rant.

Issue Pulled from Comments

I pulled this from a comment I made in answer to another commenter on a post shortly after last Tuesday’s hijacking of the election.

I cannot count the number of, well, not conversations exactly but whatever passes for one with leftards that all had the same dynamic:

Leftard spouts Mass MEdia Podpeople Hivemind/Dhimmicrappic talking points as though they were graven in stone and delivered by a secular humanist commie bastard Moses.

I present verifiable facts.

Leftard calls said facts lies, because they do not match his talking points.

Therein lies the central disconnect, IMO. Leftards are delusional (or deliberate, witting liars. It’s often quite difficult to tell which is which), while the REAL reality-based folks are left wondering who screwed up the leftards’ p-sych meds, whenever they encounter one or more of them…

The political “middle” is now composed of

1. The stupid, gullible and ignorant: sheeple who are the natural “base” of the Dhimmicrappic Party.
2. The greedy, which is of two classes. a. Those who just want the government to give them “free cake”. b. Those who are busy bilking the public purse with massive fraud (at best).
3. The unconscious, those who wander the earth from one prodding stimulus to the next.

Moving to “the middle” is societal suicide. Waking the unconscious, excoriating the corrupt and weaning the “free cakers” is the only way to save society.

This is, of course, an extremely simplistic (and hence “wrong” on detail) model, but it’s roughly true, for all its shortcomings.

“[Cheating] is the only way he could have won”

That was a comment on FB. My response is quoted below.

Yes and no. The Zero DID have some really, really strong help from:

  1. The Mass MEdia Podpeople Hivemind–non-stop campaigning from the “Bylines for Barry” crowd with unceasing, bald-faced lies about Republicans in general and Romney and Ryan specifically; more bald-faced lies painting The Zero as just about everything he is not; plenty of hand-waving, distractions (“Look! A squirrel!”) and plain burying of stories that either helped Republicans or hurt Dhimmicraps, etc. 10X power on campaign publicity, for free.
  2. Fedzilla’s Precious Gimmepigs turned out for more “free cake”.
  3. “Principled” voters either stayed at home and pouted, or turned out and voted for destined losers, hoping the house would burn down so they could “save” the inhabitants.

Any one of those three taken from the equation, and it’s unlikely the Dhimmicraps could have cheated ENOUGH to win.

Our task:

  1. (metaphorically) BURN DOWN the Hivemind’s “house”. Spread a grassroots campaign to boycott all advertisers on Hivemind organs. All. Include a boycott of the Hivemind itself. Heck, when CBS (See BS) refused to hammer Dan Blather with a serious penalty for lying his a$$ off in 2004 in an attempt to scuttle Bush, I stopped watching ANYTHING from CBS entirely, and have actively encouraged everyone I know to follow suit. Now, I only check the other Hivemind organs to see what they’re lying about today. And always, always, always spread as much truth as widely as possible to counter their lies.
  2. Carefully, consistently and continually confront Fedzilla’s Gimmepigs with the arguments about WHY there is no “free cake”. Use the impending bankruptcy of CA (and the actual bankruptcy of various CA towns and cities), Greece, et al, to show what happens when the “free cake” bills come due. Never give up. For those who claim to be Christians, hit them with 2Thess 3:10-12,

    “…If anyone will not work, neither shall he eat. 11 For we hear that there are some who walk among you in a disorderly manner, not working at all, but are busybodies. 12 Now those who are such we command and exhort through our Lord Jesus Christ that they work in quietness and eat their own bread.”

  3. Argue with, ridicule, keep hammering the childish utopian “principled” voters who truly deserve whatever hardships they reap as a result of their votes/staying at home. Keep pointing out, when/if they whine about the horrible results of their utopian candidate not winning, that THEY are responsible for those horrible results, because they torpedoed a BETTER option than they got by throwing their childish little tantrum designed to give the election to the worst candidate.

Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Burning Desire!

*heh*

Actually, having one of each–a BioLite CampStove and a BioLite HomeStove–would be that “burning desire”. We have a propane powered camp stove for emergencies, and our outdoor charcoal grill (yes, I do make some of my own charcoal) can even–HAS even!–be used in a pinch, but these are doubly useful lil devices. Want. Going on Wish List.

A Short Reminder

 

“I am for doing good to the poor, but…I think the best way of doing good to the poor, is not making them easy in poverty, but leading or driving them out of it. I observed…that the more public provisions were made for the poor, the less they provided for themselves, and of course became poorer. And, on the contrary, the less was done for them, the more they did for themselves, and became richer.”–Benjamin Franklin

And for those that chafe at “Welfare” checks, work requirements, etc.,

“…if any would not work, neither should he eat.” — 2 Thessalonians 3:10

 

 

Hmmm, the second might well apply to some bureaucraps, eh?

Nuh-uh! Watch your language!

I see a dumbass construction so often that I now just gag, spew and go on. *sigh* Here’s the situation: a writer (or speaker) is attempting to say

“Some members of [Class A] are also [Class B]; some are not.”

But they write/say,

“All [Class A] are not [Class B],” as in, “…a distribution center was set up under a former S4 proving that all S4s are not lame-brain[…s].”

What the author said there is not what he meant, if the preceding text (wherein it had been asserted that S4s are characteristically “lame-brained”) is to be believed. No, what the author meant was very distinctly different to what he wrote, namely, “…a distribution center was set up under a former S4 proving that not all S4s are lame-brain[…s].”

It’s NOT a subtle difference at all. It is a profound difference. “All are not” is NOT “Not all are” by any stretch of the imagination. One says very plainly, “NONE of A are B” and the other says, “Some of A are not B.”

This kind of widely-spread lack of sense in writing and speaking says to me that those who use these formulations have a logic circuit that’s broken, or firing only intermittently. This sort of widely-spread butchering of sense in language is a definite indicator that popular culture is, simply and bluntly put, stupid.
