"You belong to me."
Today is Tuesday, 28 May 2013.
Concerning the 18-year-old Florida lesbian, against whom the States Attorney (SA) has filed felony charges, claiming that her relationship with a 14-and-a-half-year old lesbian constitutes sexual battery, which could send her to prison for 15 years. The (male, of course) SA claims that he is acting in the best interests of the child.
Nothing could be further from the truth.
Such laws date, in their essence, from ancient times, and epitomize the principle that (to put it unvarnished) "pussy is property". Women belong to their parents, or, if they are unmarried and their parents are dead, to their nearest male relative, or to their husbands. Any form of emotional and/or sexual intimacy (particularly the latter) which is unauthorized by the owning male is infringement upon the male's property rights. In all societies dominated by males, virginity is prized, and the lack thereof severely reduces the price which may be obtained for the bitch.That is, in classical economic terms, the exchange value of the bitch is screwed, as it were.
Only in the 1830s did it begin to be recognized, under the laws of the United States Empire and its several states, that women were not property but a type of person, who could own their own property. However, underage women are, in sight of the law, still the equivalent of a cow or used car.
Full liberation is required.
Against Illegal Immigrants
Today is Friday, 24 May 2013.
On this date in 1607, Jamestown, Virginia was founded. It nearly foundered, but, alas...
A group of thieving illegal immigrants, acting under the auspicious of an officially-chartered criminal conspiracy, the "Virginia Company of London", sailed across the Atlantic and illegally seized land which they named for King James I, head of the criminal conspiracy known as the "English Monarchy".
The bandits chose poorly, since the site was a malarial swamp, the effects of which soon began killing them. By the time they became organized, it was too late in the season to plant crops. Plus, many were "gentlemen", meaning that manual labour exceeding beating and/or raping servants had never sullied their lily-white hands. They survived only through the kindness and food gifts of the local Native Americans, the Paspahegh.
Within four years, the illegal immigrants had returned the favour: combined with the effect of European-spawned diseases, and the terrorist murderings of the bandits, the Paspahegh had ceased to exist.
This is not, of course, the fantasy version of the Terrorist Conquest of Native America that the United States Empire officially imparts.
It merely has the advantage of being what actually happened.
Tea Party Pedophiles
Today is Wednesday, 22 May 2013.
Supporters of the Tea Party Movement have not bothered to think through the implications of their traitorous calls for a "Second American Revolution", meant to restore the lost alledged perfections of the First. At least, I hope fervently they haven't.
One of the hallmarks of 1776 was the preservation of the enslavement of Blacks. The four hallmarks of slavery, anywhere and anytime, are mass murder, mass theft, mass rape, and mass pedophilia. That is, males who own children as slaves are free to dispose of them, their property, as they wish, whether as workers in the fields or The Big House, or as rape objects.
Many of the leadership elites of the Tea Party Movement must understand this, but their lusts for power and profit overwhelms anything and everything. Probably must of them are not pedophiles, practicing or in waiting, but the fact that they are comfortable with overlooking the historic rape of children, indicates what lengths they will go to seize power.
No organization deserves tax-exempt status for advocating pedophilia.
Tornadoes and Tea
Today is Monday, 20 May 2013.
From approximately 5p to 9pm yesterday, several clusters of tornadoes struck North Central Oklahoma. While a full damage assessment can begin only at dawn, it seems the worst damage was done at Shawnee, where a mobile home park was destroyed, with at least one apparent fatality.
This is what regularly happens, even with some advance warning.
What if the Tea Party movement's dream were to come true, a "Second American Revolution" had occurred, and the clock of American society had been set back to 1776 by force of arms?
There would be no weather radars deployed by the Evil Federal Government, and so no real-time knowledge of what was about to happen. Even were radars to have been invented in 1776, there would be no Evil Federal Government media warning system, so that destruction and casualties would certainly have been greater. There would be no Evil Federal Government to deploy, in a timely manner, assistance. The latter would arrive at the speed of horses. There would be no hospitals or clinics subsidized by the Evil Federal Government, so more would die of injuries or be permanently maimed.
O brave new world!
I almost wish that members of the Tea Party Movement weren't craven hypocrites, for all of them would have refused the Evil weather warnings, and many would have done us the favour of speedy and permanent departure.
"The bitch wanted it, sir!"
Today is Friday, 17 May 2010.
It is currently popular, in some oh-so-politically-correct circles, to slander America's fighting males, by claiming that they are engaged in wholesale sexual harassment of women military.
Oh, puh-leez!
Women are descended from Eve, the first and Primal Slut, who Wanted It, and used the apple in the Garden of Eden to achieve sexual dictatorship over the helpless Adam. As a result, Adam and Eve, and all humanity, were expelled from the Garden forever.
Some years ago, when it was proposed to slutify the American military by creating mixed-gender units, the government was warned. Women would use their sexual wiles to beguile males, then file false charges against them which would result in court-martials, and their subsequent convictions and emasculations.
Like all women, bitches in the military Want It and Like It. If there are males who want to give it to them, more power to them: take back the night.
Comment on "Cleveland"
Today is Thursday, 16 May 2013.
Dear "Oh my gosh": I'm having trouble with entering Comments, so I'll put my response to your comment here.
Oh,puh-leez. Explanation is NOT endorsement (Logic 101). Since long before I was born, it's been observed that one of the inevitable issue of male chauvinism in this country, or any country, is the normalization, endorsement, and enabling of violence against women. The actions of males such as A. Castro is that in which male chauvinism revels. (Though usually without the "balls", as it were, to do so openly.)
For the record: I do not regard the cats and dogs of this country to be "evil and toxic".
What Obama Should Have Said
Today is Wednesday, 15 May 2013.
Good evening. I'm speaking to you to address the concerns that many have regarding the Internal Revenue Service and the Tea Party.
What is the Tea Party? It is a movement composed of many factions, fractions, and individuals, united by a common ideology and goal: to conduct a "Second American Revolution," by means of violently overthrowing the government of the United States, seizing power, and ruling tyrannically over law-abiding Americans. To this end, the movement has stockpiled a large number of firearms, ammunition, and bombs, and they boast of their training and willingness to use them on Americans, wounding, maiming, and killing.
The Tea Party movement retains few shreds of decency. Many of its component organizations have filed for non-profit status, with the aim of forcing law-abiding Americans to pick up the tab, through paying taxes, for their unpatriotic criminal conspiracy.
The I.R.S. is to be commended for focusing special scrutiny on these anti-Americans.
I'm ashamed for the Republican leadership, as its members should be ashamed of themselves, for condemning the I.R.S. for working to protect the people of the United States from an anti-American threat. I hope that the Republican leadership has not descended so far into the moral abyss, that they have themselves become anti-American.
I call upon all law-abiding Americans to join together in defending the Republic. Good night.
Mark Sanford's "Redemption"
Today is Tuesday, 14 May 2013.
To my mind, the most significant and valuable Christian theologian of the 20th-century is the German Lutheran, Dietrich Bonhoeffer (1906-1945). He believed that Christian faith was neither a decoration nor a get-out-of-hell-free card that enabled one to continue a previous life of harming and exploiting others.
Bonhoeffer believed that Christian faith must be lived in the world, for the world, at whatever cost to oneself. He lived up to this goal in many ways, including opposition to Hitler from the beginning. His brother and two brothers-in-law were executed for their participation in various attempts to overthrow Nazism. Bonhoeffer himself was hanged on 9 April 1945. (In a grim irony, the Gestapo had originally arrested him for smuggling Jews out to Switzerland in return for bribes, instead of to save them from death. It was only in the aftermath of the failed attempt to assassinate Hitler on 20 July 1944 that the Gestapo realized that he was part of the Resistance, and handed him over to the SS.)
One of Mark Sanford's themes in his recent campaign for Congress was God's alleged redemption of him.
Bonhoeffer wrote: "Cheap grace is the grace we award ourselves. Cheap grace is the preaching of forgiveness without requiring repentance ... grace without discipleship ..."
What did Sanford do differently after he was supposedly "redeemed"? He violated a protective order by breaking into his wife's home to watch a football game. His lust for power and profit was unquenched and undiminished. (I would suggest to his "soul mate" that, should Mark tell her that he'll be gone for a few days "to climb Mt. Everest", she run swiftly and permanently in the other direction.)
Sanford epitomizes "cheap grace". He forgives himself, grants himself redemption, and then merrily continues on his morally corrupt way.
But then, perhaps Sanford imagines that he is God.
Tea With the I.R.S.
Today is Monday, 13 May 2013.
RE: The tempest-in-a-teapot regarding apparent I.R.S. "targeting" of certain Tea Party organizations applying for nonprofit status (a status which, not incidentally, confers tax advantages).
What is the Tea Party? It's not a single organization, but a movement noted for making tiny doctrinal distinctions seem like the end-of-the-world, and riven by diseased colossal egos contending for supremacy. (For comic relief, it features straight males prancing about in powdered wigs and garish uniforms, while brandishing smooth-bore muskets --- 18th-century drag.)
The Tea Parties basic belief is in a fantasy: that the nation can be re-organized along the lines of the social, economic, and political structures of 1776 America, when n-----s were slaves and bitches were property who knew their place was on their backs. This re-organization would necessarily require the violent overthrow of the current United States in a "Second American Revolution."
And this isn't just wind: the Tea Parties truly aim to grab power. In the meantime, they demand that other taxpayers assume payment of their taxes.
In other words, the Tea Parties are political con artists looking to loot your pockets. And they want you to pay for the privilege.
As one who has worked with nonprofits, professionally and as a volunteer, for more than 40 years, I can state unequivocally: the Tea Parties ain't no nonprofits.
Were Republicans and con-servatives sincere, they would commend the I.R.S., not damn it for defending the Republic.
"Cleveland"
Today is Sunday, 12 May 2013.
Ariel Castro, charged in the sexual, etc. atrocities now branded in the media as "Cleveland", seems rather obviously to have severe psychological problems. Yet, in another way, he is as normal and American as cherry pie.
"Bitches want it."
"Bitches like it."
These are two of the subtexts securely embedded, and absolutely inherent, in the male chauvinism which has largely ruled the United States Empire since its founding.
In large measure, Mr. Castro was simply acting upon the principles with which our society had conditioned him.
Republican Leaders Love Commies More Than Americans
Today is Thursday, 9 May 2013.
The current borrowing cap for the U.S. government will, by law, be reached on 18 May. However, various accounting magics should delay the actual moment of potential default until September or even early October.
The solution is simple and ordinary: Congress passes legislation raising the debt limit and the President signs it. Despite the many falsehoods (spewed forth by con-servatives in general and Republicans in particular) equating individual and/or family debt to government, they are in fact as different as apples and aardvarks, and the way ALL governments work.
The far-right extremist Republican leadership which controls the House of Representatives is preparing to introduce legislation embodying their insane solution: the government should pay only a fraction of its bills. Given first priority would be government-issued bonds held by Americans, and Social Security payments.
Next in line would be foreign-owned government-issued bonds. (Communist China owns $1.27 trillion.) Only if anything remains would domestic programs be funded, including Medicare, payments to veterans and serving military, national security, and companies that do business with the Federal government.
Own a small business that sells to the government? When it's time to pay, the Republican leadership has two words: "Fuck you!" A veteran? "Fuck you!" You get the idea.
In other words, the far-right extremist Republicans in Congress are willing to destroy America's credit rating, and cause another Great Recession, or even another Great Depression, all for their evil goal of driving a duly-elected Black President from power.
In this way, Republican leaders serve and love Commie China, not the American people.
Sanford for Congress?
Today is Tuesday, 7 May 2013.
Sure, Mark Sanford betrayed his wife and children and destroyed his marriage and family.
Sure, this was because of his insatiable appetite for his "soul mate," an Argentine firecracker.
Sure, he embezzled taxpayer monies to satisfy his lust for being a slut and to hump ...err... hike the Appalachian Tail ...err... Trail.
Sure, he lied about it until he was caught.
Sure, he betrayed the people of South Carolina.
Sure, he violated a protective order and broke into his ex-wife's house so he could watch TV.
However, says Sanford: "Redemption and second chances are the American way."
After all, he said that he was "sorry," and thus the slate must be wiped clean.
Is this "redemption," that he refuses to make amends and to suffer no consequences? Is he owed a "second chance", a second bite at the apple, to do what he did before?
Should a male who rapes 100 women be allowed to say "sorry" and escape any consequences? Or commits serial pedophilia? Or mass murder?
No. All of sound mind who vote for Sanford vote to extinguish all decency and thereby permanently disgrace themselves.
The Boston Bombing: 11
Today is Monday, 6 May 2013.
One hears, ad nauseum, that the USA is a "Christian" country. So why is it that multitudes so angrily oppose giving the alleged Boston Bomber, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, a decent burial on American soil?
Have they never heard of caritas, Latin for "love for others?" Have they never heard of the words of Jesus, in the Gospel of Mark 12.31: "Love thy neighbor as thyself?" I learned the latter very early on in Sunday School. Was I absent the following Sunday, when Jesus listed the exceptions, beginning with Tamerlan Tsarnaev?
I think not.
Might not these people show a shred of human decency?
Thoughts On Religious Violence
Today is Sunday, 5 May 2013.
"I come not to bring peace: I come to bring a sword." So Jesus is quoted in the Gospel of Matthew 10.34.
Often, biblical literalists contend that this passage is metaphorical, meaning spiritual or ideological warfare. But, metaphorical ain't literal, people, so you don't get to go there. By the lights of literalism, Jesus came to whack people, and his followers are obligated to follow suit.
In 313 C.E., a mere 280 years after the Prince of Peace was crucified, the majority of the leadership of the Church sold out to the very Roman Empire which had murdered Jesus, and blessed the wars of the Empire, in return for which they received cash subsidies and the right to persecute fellow Christians who didn't share their own exact doctrines.
In 1204, the Crusaders from Western Europe decided that it would be too much trouble to attempt the conquest of Jerusalem, and far easier to attack Eastern Christians, so they conquered and looted Constantinople, populated by Eastern Christians.
In every war in which "Christians" participated, with which I am familiar, the majority of religious and lay leaders, and the majority of lay persons, rationalized their looting, raping, pedophilia, violence, and murder by claiming that "God" is on the side of their nation, and only their nation.
Thus, I'm disgusted by the way that the American media is speculating on why Tamerlan Tsarnaev became a "violent religious extremist," and, overtly or covertly, "explaining" it by the alleged violent nature of Islam.
If they truly wish to understand, they should look in a mirror.
They Shoot Horses
Today is Saturday, 4 May 2013.
Today is the running of the Kentucky Derby.
The products of horse racing are "entertainment" and cash profits. When race horses, in training or in competition, seriously injure limbs, and are no longer fit for exploitation, they are usually exterminated, traditionally by shooting.
I stand corrected. The products of horse racing are "entertainment," cash profits, and murder.
Horse racing should be immediately outlawed and criminalized.
