Thank you, PJTV! You are smarter than 99 percent of your viewers!--PLEASE PASS ON

The conservative, pro-Tea Party PJTV has the Left-Right distinction correct.  Dumbas..., ur, conservatives, so often get mad at me when I point out the correct definition in political science for the spectrum, which places Nazism/Fascism on the Right, while Communism is on the Left.  The dumb..., ur, people, tell me that both are on the Left, because both are authoritarian.  They are obsessed with individualism and personal "freedom," and thus cannot and will not understand that the spectrum is defined not by "liberty," but rather the role of natural and traditional factors and power structures (e.g., race, nation, family, religion, etc.). Thanks to PJTV for getting it right! PLEASE PASS THIS TO YOUR GRASSROOTS CONSERVATIVE FRIENDS ... you know, the types who think Congress passed "dat dere Roe V. Wade law" and that it goes against where the Constitution says that "all men are created equal."  Use it to help explain to them the true, political-...

Elisabeth Sabaditsh-Woolf, one of ACT! for America's international chapter leaders, was acquitted on the charge of incitement to hatred. That's the good news. The bad news is she was found guilty of "denigrating" the teachings of a religion. You can read more in a column by Henrik Clausen. Clausen's column notes that punishing someone for "denigrating" Islam is problematic, precisely because of what is contained in Islam's holy books: ...

My Rants (Issue 5 -- 27 FEB 2011)--Tea Partier on "5th Grader"

My Rants Issue 5 -- 27 FEB 2011     This represents a periodic (every so often) statement of my rants, my observations, and my wisdom.  The views expressed are mine, and do not represent the views of any organization or association of which I may be a part.  For now.   Read and embrace. Did you see the Tea Party leader on "Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader"?  He was a husband and father of two, and active in the movement almost since its beginning.  Jeff Foxworthy said he was probably the smartest 5th grader they ever had in their "Classroom"!*   ROFL (or at least I would be if it wasn't so believeable)   * Definition--"Classroom":That Peanut Gallery of kids there to help the contestant.   Why do people practice "cognitive dissonance"?  This is where someone wants one outcome, then works for exactly the opposite.  For instan...

"Major Hasan, Star Officer" Dear Lee, We owe a debt of thanks to the Senate Homeland Security Committee for its report on the Ft. Hood jihadist massacre titled "A Ticking Time Bomb." The Wall Street Journal column below (highlights added) provides a compelling insight into what the Senate committee found. Over the past three years, we have put out numerous emails highly critical of political correctness, noting that PC can be annoying and even exasperating, but that when it comes to the threat of radical Islam, it can be deadly. As it was at Ft. Hood. Major Hasan, 'Star Officer' Every branch of the military issued a final report...

A My Rants Musical Interlude--Allison Krauss singing "You Can't Hurry Love," with serious comment by yours truly

Came across this video of one of my absolute favorite singers of any genre, Allison Krauss, singing, "You Can't Hurry Love" at the 2004 Ryder Cup.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=62kv8Yumbo8&NR=1&feature=fvwp   (Pardon the intro by Samuel L. Jackson).   As you listen to this EXCELLENT rendition (Krauss couldn't mess up a song if she tried) and watch the video, think about this: This event provided REAL economic stimulus and employment to many people.  The event required set-up crews, take-down crews, sound crews, lighting crews, video crews, back-up musicians, vendors (food and souvenir), security people, parking attendents, shuttle-bus drivers, ticket sellers and takers, etc.  On top of that, supplies of vendor products and production equipment--building supplies, recording equipment, sound equipment, etc.--lhad to be bought or rented.  Neighboring businesses no doubt picked up extra business from attendees.  A...

5 Cat Myths People Still Believe In

Image
  The cat is a very misunderstood animal. Here are the top 5 non-facts about cats that most people still believe to be true:   Cats Can See In The Dark A cat has vertical pupils that expand to let him see in near darkness. He has about thirty whiskers which help him find his way around at night, even in strange surroundings. But he is not endowed with special eyesight that can enable him to see in absolute darkness.   Cats Are Surefooted, And Always Land On Their Feet Some children, believing this piece of folklore, delight in dropping Puss from heights-like out of the window-just to prove it is true. But it is more often false. Puss ends up with broken legs, or neck, and it is too late to say "Don't believe everything you hear!" It's true that cats are the most agile, surefooted, graceful animals in the world-most of the time. But they can also knock over lamps, send coffee cups flying, and fall off chairs. They can end up with broken bones...
