'Using armed violence in any context is flat out wrong...'

CSGV Believes This Girl Was Wrong -- it's logically impossible to reason with "liberals", for they are (at best) willfully insane.

Still, isn't it interesting to see "liberals" making moral assertions of absolutes?

Vandals desecrate pile of manure with Democrat Party headquarters

Michael Egnor: Vandals desecrate pile of manure with Democrat Party headquarters

On the one hand, I wouldn't put it past the Democrats themselves to have done this. But, let's take it as given that some Republicans, or at least non-Democrats, dumped the manure. Now, for sure, dumping a pile of manure at the headquartes of the "other" party isn't a very respectful thing to do. But, notice -- and in contrast to what Democrats, or their supporters, so typically to do -- no one was killed or even injured, nothing was damaged, broken or destroyed, and nothing was stolen. Plus, manure is actually valuable, unlike the sort of trash "liberals" leave behind.

The Problem of Evil

'The media loved Obama to death...'

Michael Egnor: "The media loved Obama to death..." -- "... But Obama has always been a media phantom, created entirely by the pundits of the Acela corridor. He's a liberal cipher [*]. If not for the media, Obama would be not showing up for roll-call votes in the Illinois senate, instead of not showing up for the debate in Denver."

Liberals must have decoder rings to help them navigate the world

Kathy Shaidle: Liberals must have decoder rings to help them navigate the world, however awkwardly -- "So if I understand this woman correctly:

She’s mad that they tried to keep gays out of the Boy Scouts AND she’s mad that they took too long to kick out the ones that got in, and molested little boys."

Missing Richard Widmark

Kathy Shaidle: Missing Richard Widmark

I'm not crippled, though my mother was; so, I am confident that I understand, as well as any able-bodied person can, what living as a cripple is like.

And, I totally agree with the comments of "FFF’s resident crippled correspondent".

"Genuinely disabled people like the blind, Paralyzed, severely retarded etc. are not helped by wasting resources on the faux cripple. In fact the only people helped by our current state of affairs are the tax sucking bureaucrats, lawyers and “service” providers who are merely bilking the system."

A widespread, and particularly obnoxious, example of this is the reserved "handicapped parking" spots. Pay attention to who parks in those spots -- they are almost never actually disabled persons. They are almost always the "faux crippled" who get themselves declared "disabled" purely for the benefit of the reserved parking.

As far as it goes

One of those "gamers" who claims to be a Christian: Debasing marriage -- There are more ways to lie, to deceive others (or oneself), than simply to say what is not-true. And, in fact, the "best" lies, the ones that most successfully deceive their audience, are those which say nothing that is in itself false.

What this 'Dalrock' always seems to forget to mention is that men created and promoted and cheered-on and empowered 'feminism' and the so-called Sexual Revolution. And it wasn't *just* the ivory-tower leftists who did this; Joe Average -- the very same Joe Average who is now bitching about the wholly predictable result -- was also willingly complicit, and continues to be, in the training up of whole generations of American women to be disposable tramps, to be nothing more than sterile masturbatory aids to his passing whims.

These "manosphere" whingers are forever bitching because "there are no good women left to marry" -- by "good" they mean both "hot" and "chaste" (*) -- even as they assert for themselves the need and the (moral) right to "test drive" any women they are "dating", so as to ensure that they are "sexually compatible", before actually maybe thinking about marrying her, someday, if the creeks don't rise.

In other words, they don't want to marry one woman and limit their sexual expression to her alone: they want unfettered and indiscriminate access to one of the benefits of marriage, without any of the concomitant costs or commitments.

Even before the term "dating" came to almost always mean "engaging in pre-marital sex with", "dating" wasn't about marriage -- the word for that is 'courting'. Even in the supposedly more innocent 1950s, the most innocent meaning "dating" ever had was "let's 'hang out' and see what happens" ... as though it hasn't been very well known, since about the beginning of time, what happens when men and women, not married to one another, "hang out".

(*) But "hotness" and "chastity" are polar opposites.


Edit:

In case Gentle Reader has not yet understood why I go on about the damnable hypocrisy of the "gamers" of the "manosphere" (*), consider this short post by 'Dalrock': Mentu’s moving vasectomy post ... and especially the "moving" post to which the title refers: Vasectomy Part 1.

(*) I mean, even aside from the fact that "game" is intentionally constructed on a false, and indeed wholly imaginary, anthropology: "evolutionary psychology".

Bombshell allegations against New York organ procurement entity

Lydia McGrew: Bombshell allegations against New York organ procurement entity

Unfortunately, most people have made a 'god' of their own time-bound physical lives -- while ignoring their eternal lives -- and so do not care about this sort of thing. And, in fact, they will hate those who try to bring this sort of thing to light, rather than hating the guilty parties.

Until, of course, it happens to them; but then it's too late.
