So Libs Like Gross Things…

“Dirty sink? What dirty sink?”

The news cycle seems to have missed this when it came out in 2014, but it’s being reported now.

According to an international team of scientists at Virginia Tech University, your reaction to disgusting images is almost certain to reveal your political ideology (https://www.biospace.com/article/around-the-web/liberal-or-conservative-brain-responses-to-disgusting-images-help-reveal-political-leanings-virginia-tech-study-/). In fact, one reaction to one disgusting image is 95% predictive of a person’s politics. How about that!

Simply stated, Republicans and conservatives react adversely to images of maggots, mutilated carcasses, or a sinkful of rotting garbage, but the same images don’t much bother Democrats and liberals.

Well, really–if the imagined (thankfully!) image of Hillary Clinton as president isn’t going to turn you off, what is? If only Chuck Schumer were as easy to get rid of as a sinkful of garbage.

It’s fun to watch the scientists trying to explain this in Darwinian terms, with fairy tales about long-ago cavemen learning not to eat stuff that the maggots had already started in on.

Look–if you like transgenderism, two guys getting “married,” San Francisco sidewalks heaped with human feces, Barak Obama as a sage, and the whole idea of global government, you already like disgusting things. A bunch of roadkill rotting away in the sun is hardly going to put you off.

I hope we didn’t have to pay a lot to find out this scientific thing that everybody already knew.

But now, at least, it’s Settled Science! And you libs have got to embrace it, or else be revealed as hate criminals and anti-science biggits.

‘More Crap from Common Core’

Love that government!

Until Common Core is actually repealed–and that’s never going to happen, with Democrats owning the House of Representatives–we will never be safe from “When the government speaks, the people must obey!”

In case you had any doubts that we are living in a fallen world.

And y’know what’s the scariest part? That our country, these United States–we are the Rolls-Royce, the gold standard, the Faberge Easter Egg of human dignity and liberty in this so badly fallen world. No other country even comes close, except for maybe Costa Rica, although I’m not so sure about them lately.

Freedom is not natural in a fallen world. Tyranny is. Rending each other is.

For as long as we stand under God, we stand.

Out from under God… we fall like the rest of ’em.

A Gift from Me to You

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

It’s become my yearly custom, at Christmas-time, to present you with this, My Love’s an Arbutus, sung by the Fairhaven Singers, for no other reason but its simple sweetness.

If it sounds familiar to you, and yet you can’t quite place it, you probably heard it as background music in Scrooge (1951, the one with Alistair Sim), as Alice’s theme.

Anyway, here it is. Merry Christmas, everybody.

I think I’ve learned something from this video: if you’re standing on ice and you can see fish light-heartedly swimming around–well, you’re on thin ice! Literally as well as figuratively. Good luck getting back to terra firma.

Or, if you’re a cat, you ignore it and just keep on playing on the ice. If you do fall in, the gavone with the camera will have to rescue you.

By Request, ‘Joy to the World’

Jeremy requested Joy to the World by A Capella, but I couldn’t find it. But I did stumble upon this guy “Acapeldridge,” who uses modern technology to–well, he sings in perfect harmony with himself. And it sounds great!

Lyrics by Isaac Watts, 1719–and still growing strong, 299 years later.

As England Turns Its Culture Inside-Out

I still don’t understand why anyone would do this. Do you?

Across the Atlantic, the local council governing the city of Brighton has ordered its schools to teach the, uh, “lesson” (?) that boys and men can have periods, just like girls and women (https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2018/12/16/schools-eight-year-olds-boys-periods/).

Do we even have to mention that’s not true? The council–dominated by the Green Party, which tells you something right there–calls this “Taking a Period Positive Approach in Brighton and Hove Schools.” They want to “reduce the stigma” of having a menstrual cycle, adding that “periods are something to celebrate” all over the world. Yeah. Right.

And so, to make girls feel good about themselves when they become old enough to have periods, the schools in Brighton will teach that everybody, men and boys included, has periods. The schools are now in the business of knowingly teaching something that is blatantly untrue, to serve an ideological end.

Somewhere along the way, there’s bound to be a little boy, his brain addled and battered by this sort of schooling, who grows alarmed and despondent when he doesn’t have a period. What an achievement by the educators!

Why are we doing these things? How is any of this supposed to benefit anyone? Why do we teach preposterous lies and turn our whole culture inside-out to please some incalculably tiny minority and its left-wing political sponsors?

O Lord our God, remember that these things are done without our consent, against our will, and over our objections: in Jesus’ name, Amen.

Mr. Nature: The Ocean Sunfish

Posted By: leeduigon(patty)Posted On:

Hi, Mr. Nature here–with another peek into some of the surprises God built into our world when He was creating it.

The ocean sunfish gets its name from its habit of basking sideways on the surface of the water, many miles out to sea. Because it doesn’t often visit shallow water, few people will ever see one of these. And a few who do will freak out. The ocean sunfish is the world’s largest bony fish, and yet it looks like only half a fish. Its favorite food strikes us as pretty insubstantial: jellyfish.

This creature is slow, ponderous, unable to maneuver quickly, without any means of defense, yet living in a dangerous environment, full of predators–nevertheless, here it is. If we knew the sunfish better, we might discover that it is ideally designed for the kind of life it leads

‘Welcome to Zombieland’ (2016)

Go ahead–tell me the rush to legalize marijuana in all 50 states is a really good idea. Well, maybe it is, if this is the kind of result you want to see.

https://leeduigon.com/2016/07/13/welcome-to-zombieland/

Oh, yeah, great idea. Although it would undoubtedly be a boon to Democrats to have the whole population stoned all the time. Brain damage and socialism do go very well together.

By a Double Request, ‘It Came Upon a Midnight Clear’

The nooze is already knocking at my door this morning, with all the vileness of the fallen world. But first we have this–praise God, first we have this, the Good News–It Came Upon a Midnight Clear, sung by St. Peter’s Choir. Independently and simultaneously requested by SlimJim and Erlene (how did they do that?)

This is one of my favorite Christmas carols, and I had just decided to post it on my own when I received a message from Phoebe requesting it. Happy to oblige! I Saw Three Ships Come Sailing, by Blackmore’s Night.
