Just a hilarious website. Worth a daily look.


Most of their stories dont even follow thru with an explanation. Its just like "this liberal said ___" Can you believe it?

That's not even a great description. Its just really great. I cant describe it well enough


Today's entry

Michael Brown’s Mother Attends Hillary Clinton Event

I’m not a parent, so I can’t pretend to imagine what thoughts have gone through Michael Brown’s mother’s head since she first received word that her son was dead.

If it were me, I’d come to understand that Officer Darren Wilson was acting in self-defense, and did what any person would do had they been armed and felt threatened.

I would also think that I’d vote for leaders who will try to ease racial tension in America, not ones who only wish to incite in order to pander for votes.

From WZ:

Lesley McSpadden and her boyfriend, Louis ‘Burn This Bitch Down’ Head were photographed at Hillary Clinton event in St.Louis. She has time to fly around the country, market her son as a commodity to peddle on buttons, but not enough to give him a headstone. Which I suppose makes sense, since she never found time for her son while he was alive either, which was why he was raised by his grandmother. And Hillary, still trying to curry the favor of the Black Lives Matter folks, continues to do whatever she can to pander for votes.

CX

It’s pretty weird that Michael still doesn’t have a headstone, but I can’t even begin to speculate as to what’s going on with that.

There were rumors that McSpadden was paid to attend the Clinton event, but I can neither confirm nor deny.

Nice to see Michael’s stepfather, though.

JK.

You may remember Head as the man who incited the crowd in Ferguson after the Wilson verdict in which he told people to ‘burn this b**** down.’

Female Muslim Judge takes Oath while using Koran instead of Bible

John S. Roberts
December 13, 2015 11:58 am Click

Raise your right hand, and place your left on the Bible.

That’s the way things work in America when an elected official assumes his or her post.

At least, that’s the way things use to work.

It’s 2015, people!

Isn’t that what liberals and hipsters and progressives love to say?

From Morocco World News via WZ:

In the United States and the majority of Western countries, politicians and members of the courts are sworn in to their positions while placing their hand on the Holy Bible when they take their oath.

However, Judge Walker took her oath respecting the sacred book of her Islamic faith, the Holy Quran, while also wearing a hijab.

A video posted on Facebook shows the moment when Judge Walker was sworn in as a civil court judge of the 7th Municipal District at the Brooklyn Burough Hall in New York City.

“All is praise is indeed due to the Most High! I am humbled that my community has entrusted me with the immense responsibility of ensuring that EVERYONE has notice and a FAIR opportunity to be heard in the halls of justice,” Walker wrote on her website.

The video of her ceremony has prompted many comments in favor her induction.

“Good on her. Doesn’t matter if it’s a Bible or a Holy Quran, it’s just the promise to perform to the best of your ability, swearing on something sacred to you,” a Facebook user said.

“The problem is that America isn’t a Christian nation. It’s supposed to accept all religions and be a nation that accepts people regardless of their race, religion, and now sexual orientation. If we don’t allow all to be equal and free, then we lose the essence that makes us truly American,” she added.

“She follows the Constitution – just as Christian judges don’t follow the Bible when they pass a verdict, she will not follow the Quran when she rules in a court of law,” a user said in response to those against her induction.
Is that crazy or what?

I’d much rather have a judge swear on the Bible than on the Koran, because one doesn’t call for the deaths of all infidels.

Can you guess which?

America isn’t a Christian nation? Hmm…

Why then do 70-plus percent of U.S. citizens identify as Christian? Does the phrase ‘founded on Judeo-Christian principles’ ring any bells?

This is political correctness gone too far, and we have to hope there aren’t more occurrences around the nation like this one in New York.


If officials can take their oaths on the Koran, what’s next? A cookbook?


:lol:

I can't pretend...but I will.

'young conservatives' is just another form of youthful rebellion. You get cornered by liberals in college, see that conservatism has salient points when purely applied, and just go that way, trying to stay true while ignoring that any good virtues of conservatives are easily drowned out by evil awful dumbness of those who practice it (usually by insisting you're actually Libertarian). Yes my dorm room had a Bush/Cheney poster.

This will never cease annoying me. I don't exactly know how or why some conservatives tried to hijack libertarianism for their own shitty agenda, but the two philosophies aren't anywhere close. In general, conservatives aren't in favor of gay marriage and protecting all LGBT rights, weed legalization, letting in more Syrian refugees, decreasing our military budget, getting rid of drone strikes in the Middle East, etc. Even fiscally the two are not the same, as Republicans are just as shitty at spending money we don't have as Democrats are. The whole thing is fucking stupid.

I think its ramped up quite a bit with Obama's Presidency. Some people just want to oppose him one way or another.

Pledging to spend $900MM in this election cycle alone (after spending hundreds of millions in the recent past) and using ALEC for the last 8-10-15 years makes it very easy to convince low information voters that libertarians and republicans are essentially one and the same. Btw, it's not me being lazy, just cynical of the many that trot out the shield of libertarianism to mask their own more self interested agendas(& their lemming followers). Like you said, it's fucking stupid & lazy on the part of those that can't/won't understand the differences.

I may have said it before, but I don't think there is another dyed in the wool "Libertarian" that posts here besides you, except maybe Darko :wink: .

What , we should be focusing on the important part of the story. Brown does not have a head stone and it is what? Two years? All that money rolling into them and not even a headstone, fucking Franco got a headstone. Lenin got a marker. Hitler well Hitler got away.
Has anyone checked on any of the other sensational deaths that have fueled the Black lives matter movement to see if those poor souls got a proper burial? and no I am not kidding especially with that 9 year old's mother buying herself a car with the money people donated so she could bury her kid, she should be in a cell right next to Rita Crundwell.

I don't know what the hell i am.
I used to be a conservative Republican. But they have disgusted me greatly over the last oh 20 years or so. More so over the last 12.
I can't stand by a party that says they want less government unless that government is used to read our emails, download our text messages, abide by brutal police tactics, tell people who can and can't get married, blow up brown people from 3000 miles away, make decisions to go to war for personal reasons such as you tried to kill my daddy, tell people what they can do with their bodies, be willing to execute convicts knowing full well theres plenty of innocent people convicted of crimes due to the aforementioned brutal police tactics, and a million other things that they're more than willing to use government to do.
I am certainly not a democrat, though I am a card carrying union members who supports gay marriage and hates the death penalty.

I don't think some (many) conservatives identify with the republican party that you are describing any more. They can't identify with the liberal side either, so you get people calling themselves something else and libertarian will do even if they don't understand it.

Right. And that's fucking stupid, like I said. It would be like me calling myself a doctor and then when someone asks me what I do, tell them I run a warehouse. A libertarian is already a known identity. Identifying as one, and then not advocating the principles of it, should make it clear to anyone paying attention you are not to be taken seriously.

So where do they go? I don't really find libertarians all that understandable. Theory is great, I guess. The application probably not so good.

What or where should the the people that don't want to piss away money, aren't given a damn thing, for the most part don't care what you do in your personal life, believe in a right and wrong on certain subjects with sliding scales, and have little to no voice or influence go?

We have vastly different political views, but looks like we'll be doing the same thing on Election Day.
