Colluding in your own oppression – why do women still blindly support ‘Democrats’, when they pull shit like this?
South Dakota turns the clock back to 1850
Democrat Sen. Julie Bartling of Burke said the time is right for the ban on abortion.
“In my opinion, it is the time for this South Dakota Legislature to deal with this issue and protect the rights and lives of unborn children,” she said during the Senate’s debate. “There is a movement across this country of the wishes to save and protect the lives of unborn children.”
Well, it couldn’t’ve been his talent. How Rush Limbaugh became the US Right’s premier hate mouthpiece ( Via Avedon Carol)
War-profiteering watch: British Aerospace’s defence arm posts record profit. How? By selling Typhoon Euro-fighters to Saudi Arabia, the home of Al Qaeda, how else. And who organised the sale? Step forward, chickenhawk Dr John Reid. The Serious Fraud office is investigating bribery and fraud allegations in the deal. Quelle surprise.
The Wanker ‘Dissident’ Prince’s press secretary tells all:
The Prince’s involvement in politically contentious or sensitive issues was not confined to participation in the GM foods debate.
I recall that letters and speeches on politically sensitive issues written by the Prince were circulated round the office for all staff to read in what were referred to as day files (the use of which is mentioned further below).
These letters were not merely routine and non-controversial letters, but letters written at times in extreme terms from the Prince to various people, including members of the Government, Members of Parliament and other people in positions of power and influence, containing his views of political matters and individual politicians at home and abroad and on international issues. As mentioned in more detail below, I was always surprised that these letters were not treated as more private or sensitive and indeed was always surprised that they were written at all.
Oh dear. That’s not very constitutional, is it? Charlie’s going to lose this case…
Yes, Virginia, the media is institutionally racist, says Esther Armah in the Grauniad. Read it and wince:
What such liberals are really saying is that to be liberal, to be like them, means it is nigh impossible to be part of an institution that may be racist. And the media class themselves as a wholly liberal institution. It is an externalising institution, it is in the business of examining, judging and discussing others’ lives. Self-examination is not its forte.
Too often, debating with the liberal crew amounts to this: a cacophony of white, middle-class liberals scrambling to metaphorically print CVs that will be waved in chocolate-brown faces articulating race campaigning credentials and declaring, in the loudest possible voice, that they not only have black friends, but that they too were horrified, simply horrified, at the behaviour of the police toward some black folk. Educated minds abandon intelligence when debating racism in the media and resort to intellectual tantrum-throwing.
