The UN Judges the US… on Human Rights

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

Kill the culture, and the culture is going to kill you right back.

Case in point: Decades ago, American liberals decided it would be a good thing to subsidize women in the inner cities to have children out of wedlock. The end result was the destruction of the African-American family. Today, some 70% of black children are born out of wedlock–and Martin Luther King used to agonize over it when that figure was 20% He warned us that no good could come of it, but no one listened.

So children grow up without fathers, are socialized by street gangs (and lousy schools that are controlled by gangs), and, not at all surprisingly, commit a disproportionate share of America’s crime.

Policing the cities of fatherlessness and fractional families is not an easy job, and they can’t get plaster saints to do it. So there are “incidents” of excessive force used by police… as opposed to excessive force exercised every hour of every day by gangs and individual criminals.

Voila! We now present our country to the United Nations Human Rights Council, to be judged and condemned ( http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/E/EU_UNITED_NATIONS_US_RIGHTS?SITE=AP&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT&CTIME=2015-05-11-08-58-43 ).

This is the same UN that totally and pointedly ignores mass murder, mass torture, and lethal religious persecution in China, North Korea, the Muslim world, Africa, South America, and practically everywhere else. Nope, no problems there! But let’s thoroughly investigate the United States–you know: the stupid gavones who kick in 90% of our budget–and tell them they’ve got to abolish the death penalty (except for civilians and police officers, who may still have the death penalty imposed on them by criminals), spring all the terrorists from Guantanamo, and go real easy on the urban gangs.

Do our country’s glorious leaders tell them to go piss up a rope?

No–we grovel. Please, please, nice hobbits don’t condemn us, my precious–we promises to be good, to be as nice as fishhhh (gollum, gollum!)

Does it look to you like wrecking the black family turned out to be a good idea?

And for those who would read this as a racial parable: Exactly the same thing has happened to the urban population in Great Britain: the only difference is the skin color.

You can’t subject a culture to left-wing politics for any length of time without doing major damage to it.

Schools Spend Millions… on ‘White Privilege’ Training

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

[Nope, nobody acting white in this neighborhood… a White Privilege-free zone]

What would you think of an education theory that says “it is preferable for all the students to be of the same racial group”?

But this recommendation comes not from a segregated Southern school district in the 1950s, but from the ultra-liberal Pacific Education Group in San Francisco, today–a group that has raked in almost $4 million from over 40 public school districts to train teachers and administrators to be “sensitive to White Privilege” ( http://libertynews.com/2015/05/exposed-school-districts-spending-millions-to-train-employees-on-white-privilege/ ).

In a nutshell, these white liberals teach that black kids simply can’t do or learn to do certain things that are inaccessibly part of White Privilege–really arcane stuff like working toward a goal, being on time for school or work, making plans for the future–all that stuff that only evil White people can do and minorities can’t.

Even Juan Williams, not known for taking a conservative slant on anything, remarked that the PEG’s White Privilege training program is based on “negative stereotypes of black capacity to achieve in any situation.”

Really, all that’s necessary for any black American to do is to vote for Democrats. Anything beyond that is just acting White.

It is hardly necessary to refute this inane and wicked stereotype. White liberals insist on seeing themselves as the all-beneficent baby-sitter for a poor, helpless Black America that will never grow up, never be able to take care of itself.

This is the ideology that has led to a 70% out-of-wedlock birth rate among black Americans–to fatherless families, joblessness: to all those problems that liberals cause and exacerbate while professing a passion to solve them.

White or black, it doesn’t matter–get your children out of public school! Before it’s too late.

A Leader Who Murdered His Country

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

As our own leaders scramble to see how many illegal aliens they can jam into America in time for the next presidential election, it reminds me of an ancient king who actually succeeded in destroying his own kingdom… by much the same method.

In 5th century Britain, in the wake of the departure of the Roman government, a man named Vortigern became High King. Jealous and fearful of the lesser kings, Vortigern tried to build up his position by importing mercenaries from the European mainland–warriors from Germany and Denmark, men who would be known to us as the Anglo-Saxons. The warriors came with their extended families, young and old.

Vortigern might have stopped when his position was secure, but he didn’t. He kept bringing in pagans until whole sections of Germany were depopulated. Everyone had gone to Britain, where the living was easy and the looting was good. Had Social Security benefits been invented in the 400s, Vortigern would have handed them to new arrivals.

Once the floodgates were opened, and whole populations began pouring into Britain, the native British found themselves outnumbered and forced to fight for their lives. The Anglo-Saxon chiefs stopped pretending to obey Vortigern and set about grabbing everything they could. As for Vortigern himself, his British subjects rallied against him and burnt him alive in his own tower.

As for the native, Christian Britons, Divine Providence gave them a leader named Arthur who stopped the bleeding. Within 100 years, most of the pagan Anglo-Saxons had been converted to Christianity. Before the year 700, there were Anglo-Saxon saints. The Britons survived in Wales, in Brittainy, in Cornwall, and in the North. And God blended these different peoples into a new nation, England–whose role in world history, and in the growth of Christianity, has been considerable.

But between Vortigern and St. Bede was a mighty rough ride and many years of tribulation.

Because we will not hear God’s word, He has handed us over to leaders who seem determined to emulate Vortigern in nearly wiping out their own country. Vortigern’s fate was well-deserved–but it came too late to do the British any good.

He who has ears to hear, let him hear.

Would You Like Some Melted Plastic on That Burned Burrito?

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

Public education–hot diggity-dog! When they’re not busy teaching your kids that “You can be a boy one day and a girl the next, depending on how you feel,” they’re either trying to poison the kiddies or put them off eating altogether–at the behest of our all-wise, all-knowing federal government, of course.

The Phillipi Middle School in Philippi, West Virginia, hit a new low recently, serving up burned-black burritos in melted plastic sauce ( http://eagnews.org/photo-school-serves-burned-burritos-covered-with-melted-plastic-for-healthy-lunch/ ). Mmm-mmm! School officials explained it was a “mistake” that would be rectified by “training” the cafeteria staff.

Uh, who needs to be trained not to serve melted plastic to the children? For that matter, the news story doesn’t make it quite clear whether any of the hungry lads and lassies actually tried to eat this monstrosity.

And you keep on sending your children to these schools because_______?

God ordained the family–father, mother, children, and extended family.

Fallen man ordained the public schools.

This is the monkey that wants to sit where God sits.

Be careful what you worship, folks.

A Military Disgrace Without a Battle

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

What would you think if you were an enemy of the United States and you saw American ROTC cadets marching around in ladies’ shoes spray-painted bright red?

This was actually done recently at Temple University, the institution of higher learning that has done more than any other to campaign for pedophilia.

Wishing to be known for more than just preaching that it’s OK for adults to prey sexually on little boys, Temple launched a campaign against “the campus rape culture.” The fact that there is no campus rape culture–in fact, statistically, women are quite safe on college campuses–is seen as no impediment. Besides, those who insist on examining facts have forgotten that wacko feminists have long maintained that all heterosexual sex is rape.

So the ROTC cadets had to march around in public in these ladies’ shoes, like some kind of fairy brigade, it being clearly understood that any cadet who refused, his military career was kaput as of that moment.

Army Forces ROTC Cadets to Run in Red High Heels

It is important to note that this pressure on the cadets to make public spectacles of themselves, for the sake of a narrative that is demonstrably untrue, was applied by the United States Army, B.H. Obama, Proprietor.

Maybe they should have carried purses, too. And learned how to sashay in step.

I know there are people out there who like what is being done to this country–Democrats, mostly. I know there are those who thought it was a good thing, when the boys marched by in ladies’ shoes.

But I’m not one of them.

Is It Real?

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

Some of the stories I haven’t had time to blog about today:

* Experts say we should be eating bugs (to Save the Planet, of course).

*To make a point about a mythical “campus rape culture,” someone at Temple U. forced the ROTC cadets to march in ladies’ shoes, spray-painted bright red.

*Experts say Global Warming causes cold weather, hot weather, medium weather–and bad breath in dogs, for all I know.

If a Punch and Judy puppet show were real, would it generate headlines like this?

 

 

School Blasts Mom for Giving Daughter Oreos

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

You blocks, you stones, you worse than senseless things–do you still not know enough to keep your children out of the hands of modern educators?

Here’s a little tidbit from yet another public school, the Children’s Academy in Aurora, Colorado.

Here school officials spotted a 4-year-old girl with a little pack of Oreos in her lunchbox. Apparently they wouldn’t let the child eat the lunch her mother packed, and sent it home untouched–along with a stern note to the mother, which we quote here, via ABC News:

“Dear Parents, It is very important that all students have a nutritious lunch. This is a public school setting and all children are required [emphasis added] to have a fruit, a vegetable and a healthy snack from home, along with milk. If they have potatoes, the child will also need bread to go along with it. [Bread and potatoes? Are they kidding? No wonder there’s an obesity epidemic.] Lunchables, chips, fruit snacks, and peanut butter are not considered to be a healthy snack. This is a very important part of our program and we need everyone’s participation.” ( http://abcnews.go.com/Health/mom-lunch-shamed-school-packing-oreos-daughter/story?id=30674158 )

Not only are they arrogant, high-handed, and imperious: they’re also full of ca-ca. Bread and potatoes!

You’d think people would have enough self-respect that they would not put up with this. How dare these public hirelings treat us like this–we, the poor devils who have to pay their salaries and fund their pensions so they can retire at 50, when most of us have no more hope of a pension than we have of being granted super-powers?

I noticed that the only parent involved in the story is the mommy. Was dear old Dad just totally irrelevant, or is there no daddy in the picture–as is true nowadays of so many of our new-fangled, patched-together-according-to-the-wisdom-of-our-depraved-culture substitutes for families?

Here is a fact. Consider it well.

The deconstruction of our culture begins with public schooling and popular entertainment.

Together they give us what we’ve got.

New Dinosaur, Same Old Poppycock

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

I love dinosaurs; always have. So when I saw a report that a “bizarre” new dinosaur had been discovered in Chile ( http://www.theguardian.com/science/2015/apr/27/bizarre-jurassic-dinosaur-chilesaurus-diegosuarezi-discovered-in-remarkable-new-find ), I hastened to read all about it.

“New” dinosaurs are being discovered all the time. It’s exciting. This one, Chilesaurus, is neat because it has the skeletal structure of a meat-eating dinosaur (theropod) but the skull and teeth of a plant-eater (sauropod–and sauropods and theropods both belong to a larger group of dinosaurs, the lizard-hipped… but I digress).

OK, Chilesaurus is new. What’s old is the way “science journalists” and the alleged scientists they interview talk about it.

The creature’s odd mix of parts, says the article by The Guardian’s science editor, show “an extreme example of mosaic convergent evolution, where different parts of an animal adapt to the environment along the same path taken by other creatures.” You’d almost think he’d actually observed it. Lemme see, now–my nose is gonna follow this path of evolution, kinda like a tapir’s nose, and my neck wants to follow this other path, like a giraffe… man, am I a mess…

But a real scientist easily outdoes this bit of verbage:

“It shows that dinosaurs were experimenting with a wide range of body types…”

This is a singularly asinine group of words. The dinosaurs were experimenting? OK, first we’ll try this body type, and run it through a couple of tests, and then we’ll try that one…

None of this stuff, including the dinosaurs themselves, has ever been observed by a living human being. There are no records to consult. We have wonderful fossil remains which move us to speculate–wisely, we hope–as to what the animals were like when they were living. But we’re laden down with this old Theory of Evolution that has to be defended at all costs, lest the wise men of the world have to answer for the crimes committed in its name, and they keep shoe-horning the dinosaurs into it.

Maybe if scientists stopped talking through their hats, I might try listening to them again.

So You Want to Give More Power to the Government?

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

See that picture? It was taken inside a state-run psychiatric hospital–a facility recently abandoned and left to rust and rot. In fact, if you search for “images of abandoned psychiatric hospitals,” you’ll find a whole photo gallery.

Here’s another abandoned hospital, on the outside. Nice, isn’t it? And inside it’s full of metal and plastic and equipment and furniture that could have been salvaged, and should have been–but wasn’t.

Before we surrender absolute power to the government (so they can Save the Planet, or achieve Social Justice, or whatever), maybe we ought to take a closer look at what governments do with the power they already have.

In my home town some years ago, they decided they needed to expand the middle school. So they spent two years building a great big extension, at a cost of millions of dollars. And  very shortly afterward–while we were still paying for it!–they decided that they didn’t need the building after all, and shut it down. (So first we expand the schools, and then, almost immediately afterward, we contract them. Some folks just can’t make up their minds.) They left it shut down for a few years, refusing to do any maintenance, so they could later plead that the building–which we were still paying for!–was now unuseable, might as well sell the property and let the school be torn down so we can have some more condos.

At least if some developer’s bright idea goes belly-up, he’s stuck with the tab. Knowing that, the private sector does try to avoid disastrous money-losing schemes.

But we are on the hook for government’s disastrous money-losing schemes.

And please don’t forget how efficiently government protects New Orleans from hurricanes.

Our Most Expensive President

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

What are we to make of a national leader who never tires of loudly denouncing “inequality,” and yet–at the public’s expense!–starts off the year by dining at a chi-chi restaurant which charges $500,000 a year for “Charter Membership”?

And how about that leader’s wife who takes time off from hectoring the people about their eating habits, and meddling with school cafeteria menus, to stuff her face at this same incredibly costly restaurant–again, at our expense?

Well, that’s what the President of all 57 states and the Worst Lady did for supper on Jan. 1, according to the Weekly Standard ( http://www.weeklystandard.com/blogs/obamas-dine-restaurant-charging-500000-membership_822640.html ).

Oh, you can low-ball it and become a lowly “Special Member” for a mere $50,000. Either way, dinner for two will cost you about $1,000. They have a prix fixe menu, whatever that is, for $295.

There has never been a president who has rubbed our noses in it like the one we’ve got now. He could hardly be more contemptuous of us if he piled up a heap of tax money on the White House lawn and set fire to it.

Yes–fine dining, at extravagant cost, for a gavone who pronounces “corps” as “corpse” and claims to be able to speak “Austrian,” and so on. I would love to see the total tab for this lout’s entertainment, over six years.

Is this obscene, or what?

And where’s Occupy Wall Street?

If the Koch Bros. feel like dropping $1,000 on a single meal, they have to do it on their own dime. That makes it none of our business.

But when The Defender of the Poor and The Dietary Conscience of the Nation do it, and we suckers have to pay for it–

Well, we ought to be deeply ashamed of ourselves.
