Some Stuff

Is Barack Hussein Obama, the Chosen One, a racist?


Apparently:






In Heaven, Andrew Breitbart is laughing so hard he has to sit down on a cloud. He promised he would vet Obama and by the reaction of the Obama apologists, he has. Obama was willing to legitimise the mad theocratic state of Iran, legalise infanticide, alienate Canada with his "Buy American" policy (and now the Keystone pipeline) and was inexperienced to boot, his four years of incompetence and back-patting can't hide his connections to Bill Ayers and Derrick Bell. If scores of "journalists" can crawl up Sarah Palin's skirt and trot out Rick Santorum's dead son, we have to ask ourselves why the lame-duck-in-chief was not so scrutinised.



Women are only sluts when in front of a congressional committee spearheaded by Nancy Pelosi. Otherwise, they are upstanding citizens who are victims of society and must have others pay for their birth control:







The political reaction to “slut” was opportunistic, of course, but it worked with a lot of women because — apparently, even in this age of sexual liberation and “slut pride” — women are still somehow deeply affected by charges of wanton and undiscriminating sexual behavior. This might even account for the importance of the contraceptive issue, because mandated contraceptive coverage may be seen as representing not just a modest monetary benefit, but also perhaps some sort of societal validation. I would have thought that a strong independent woman wouldn’t need a stamp of societal approval for her choices, but apparently I would have been wrong. I leave it to the evolutionary-psych folks to work out why the “slut” charge retains such power in liberated times.

Apparently, however, it is especially wrong to “slut-shame” even though lefties feel no compunction about shaming people regarding other personal choices — from not recycling to owning an SUV to, worst of all, being a Republican. As I say, there’s something more going on here. And if the “shaming” part of slut-shaming isn’t bad, because shaming is fine in other contexts, then it must be the “slut” part.



Father Hollowell reminds everyone that the Catholic Church isn't the United Church and it isn't going to bend.



Related: the Obama administration is vindictive and pathetic:


The Vatican has for the first time appeared on the State Department’s list of money-laundering centers but the tiny city-state is not rated as a high-risk country. The 2012 International Narcotics Control Strategy Report was made public on Wednesday and Washington’s list of 190 countries classifies them in three categories: of primary concern, of concern and monitored…

Boko Haram vows to kidnap Christian women in Nigeria:



A Nigeria spokesman for the Islamist militant group Boko Haram told Bikyamasr.com on Tuesday afternoon that the group has plans to begin kidnapping Christian women in a push to “liquidate” the religious group from the country.

Speaking on condition of anonymity, the spokesman said that “we are going to put into action new efforts to strike fear into the Christians of the power of Islam by kidnapping their women.”


And people say there is no war on Christians. 
 


Even dead, Christopher Hitchens makes more sense than living atheists who clearly don't get how great the West (and its foundations) is.



And now, warp travel may not be a possibility:


Scientists at the University of Sydney have done the math, and believe that the fictional warp drive could break our entire universe.

During the warp process, it's believed that a number of highly energetic atomic particles would get caught up while warping and displaced immediately following the warp. The energy contained by those particles would be enough to absolutely obliterate anyone at the destination point. Or anyone near the destination. Or anyone who's even heard of the destination.



We never saw that on Star Trek!
