‘Depraved’ Starts Here

Lizzie Borden 1890.jpg

Lizzie Borden in 1890

In 1893 Lizzie Borden, spinster, of Fall River, Massachusetts, was tried for the ax murders of her father and stepmother. The little ditty survives to this day: Lizzie Borden took an ax, gave her father forty wacks/ When she saw what she had done, she gave her mother forty-one.

For the record, Ms. Borden was acquitted of the crimes. No one else was ever charged with the murders. By the time she died in 1927, her legend was firmly established.

Now, the house where the murders were committed is the Lizzie Borden Bed & Breakfast and Museum. I am not going to link to their site because I felt rather soiled by contact with the whole idea. If you were wondering where bad taste ends and sheer depravity begins… it’s here.

You can sleep in the Murder Room, buy postcards showing genuine crime scene photos of the butchered victims, and even buy a Lizzie Borden bobble-head doll complete with cute little ax. Why anyone would want any of this is well beyond me. But this is a successful business, so it must have customers.

Uh, hello–anybody there? Two people were hacked to death in here. The last moments of their lives must have been unimaginably horrible. And if Lizzie, as the court found, didn’t kill them, imagine living the rest of your life with virtually everyone in America believing you did such a thing. And singing a song about it!

The human heart, wrote Jeremiah, is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? (Jer. 17:9)

This is why we need a Savior. Good thing we’ve got one.

‘Feminists Fricasee Cinderella’ (2015)

Ah, yes–feminism! What would we ever do without it?

Rejoice, I think.

Here we have feminists, three years ago, going to town on a Cinderella movie.

Little girls must be protected from fairy tales. They must be carted off to the Drag Queen Story Hour instead.

City Asserts Man’s ‘Right’ to Spend Night in Women’s Shelter

If your town or city has anything like an “equal rights commission,” your town or city has too much money and needs its budget cut so that it can’t get into any more mischief like this.

The Anchorage Equal Rights Commission is trying to punish a women’s shelter for not allowing a drunken man, who insisted he is a woman, to sleep overnight in the shelter with the other women, many of whom are there to escape abuse and sexual assault: but at least they’ve dropped their charges against the shelter’s lawyer, who had the temerity to defend his client (http://mustreadalaska.com/anchorage-equal-rights-commission-drops-charges-against-lawyer/).

How much more of this do we have to take? How do you even talk to these deluded left-wing cretins?

Don’t bother trying to talk to them. Just shut them down.

This insanity has to stop.

And that’s all the news I can stand to cover today.

‘I’m Back–but not for Texting’ (2015)

Three years have gone by, and I still have yet to send or receive a text message. I’m trying to live my whole life without doing either.

Between public schooling and Hollywood, the war against the human mind is being won by the bad guys. There won’t be much left of the mind, by the time they’re done with it.

But for now–be eccentric! Talk to someone face to face!

‘Time Traveler Wrecks Two Businesses–and His Car’ (2015)

Remember this one, from three years ago? Thinking to drive through a “time portal,” some poor wacko in Florida crashed his car into one store and then through the wall into another before it finally stopped.

https://leeduigon.com/2015/12/25/time-traveler-wrecks-two-businesses-and-his-car/

Yes, he told police he was trying to time-travel. I don’t know what kind of answer he expected. “Oh, well, in that case, my boy, let me just tear up this ticket! A little time-traveling mishap can happen to anyone!”

How scared would we be if we knew exactly how many really loopy people are running around loose out there? And what do you suppose it is that’s making them so loopy?

I’m putting my money on a culture that has cut its moorings to God.

P.S.–At least one reader thought this item was a satire. It’s not.

‘You Can’t Get Away from Faith’ (2013)

I came in for some abuse when I asked atheists “What do you believe in?” and then didn’t accept “rationalism” as an answer. Only because “rationalism” always boils down to a matter of opinion. One man’s “rational” is another man’s wall-climbing crazy.

https://leeduigon.com/2013/04/02/you-cant-get-away-from-faith/

As Christians we know what we believe and we know Whom we believe in. God is a person. He made us in His image and He loves us.

“Rationalists” are only idol worshipers, venerating things like Science, The State, The Party, etc., that they themselves have made with their own hands.

There’s an awful lot of it around today.

‘Runaway Science’ (2013)

First it was homophobia. Then transphobia. But before any of that, the Settled Science zeroed in on that dreaded mental disorder, drapetomania.

https://leeduigon.com/2013/11/23/runaway-science/

Science to the rescue! In 1851, a leading researcher discovered that it was a mental illness, **drapetomania**, that made slaves try to escape from slavery.

You just wait. Sooner or later, any non-Far Left Crazy thought will be labeled a mental disorder. They’ll have Science on their side.

A Lesson from a Troll

Unless you were here very early today, you won’t have seen the plethora of comments left by a surly transgender fan. I have, of course, deleted them. You can’t be nice to leftids. You allow them into your cyber-living room, and all they do is pee on the carpet.

Anyhow, this jidrool accused me of “violence,” “rape,” “beatings,” and a few other misdeeds. Now, if I had actually done any of those things, I would be a criminal. And of course I haven’t done them. But–!

Now, for the Left, “violence” or “hate” constitutes any failure to join with them in whatever delusion they’re embracing at the moment. It’s also “violence” for Christians to believe in the Bible. We are supposed to agree with leftids, we are Haters if we don’t, that the Bible is “only just a bunch of two-thousand-year-old stories” which we must immediately jettison in favor of whatever the left is selling.

Note that it’s not “hate” or “violence” for them to insult, vilify, and mock anyone who isn’t them.

Quite simply, and as we so abundantly saw throughout the Kavanagh hearings, objective truth does not exist for leftids.

But it is an objective truth that there is no such thing as “transgender.” There are only really messed-up people who say they are “trans” and demand that we say it, too.

They’re killing our culture, and we musn’t let them do it.

 

Where Do Idiots Come From?

One of the things that our, ahem, “higher education” system has done is to create persons who, outside of their own particular specialty, know nothing. Some of ’em don’t even know much within their specialty. But ignorance doesn’t stop any of them from ignorantly pontificating to the rest of us.

So where do idiots come from?

They are created by our education system and our popular culture working hand-in-glove together. The result is an earwig like Jim Carrey, Bumbo Colbert or whatever his name is, who cares, and all the other motormouths prating on and on about subjects of which they know nothing.

That’s how they wind up saying things like “Socialism really works!” and “Science says the Bible’s just stories!” or “Abortion is only women’s health,” and so on. Actors. Actors who play journalists, reading from a teleprompter on the nightly cable news. Politicians, who have never, ever done anything in their lives but talk. College professors who don’t even have to make sense when they talk.

They’re all talking, all the time, and all talking at us.

Shut up, already. Listening to these babbling boobs for several decades is what got us into so much trouble in the first place.

No more!

They Still Think You’re Stupid

She’s baaaaack…

I went to the eye doctor yesterday, where I was subjected to television. That meant an endless stream of promotional spots for the “reboot” of Murphy Brown, the show whose heyday was 1988-1998, starring Candice Bergen as the hardboiled crusading… “journalist.” She’s back for the reboot.

Hmmm… TV news ratings suck lately, and public esteem for “journalists” is at an assiduously-earned all-time low. Because all they do is bash Trump and we don’t believe them anymore. So why bring back Murphy Brown?

Because they think we’ll fall in love with her again and then go back to loving, respecting, admiring, and believing the fake nooze merchants who clutter up our airwaves. Love Murphy, love them. Dude! Would Murphy Brown ever lie to you?

The most off-putting feature of the promo spots was a parade of middle-aged adults dancing around like teenagers. I am sure they were supposed to be cool. Trendy. If I ever thought anyone ever saw me as trying to be trendy, I would be unbearably ashamed of myself. There is something grotesque about fiftyish folks trying to pass for fifteen. The message, I think, is that if you watch the new Murphy Brown, and rediscover your high esteem for her real-life colleagues in the nooze business, everyone will think you’re cool.

Feh!

Our nooze media have degenerated to being nothing more or less than minions of the Far Left Crazy Democrat Party. They do not deserve our respect.
