Another Week, Another Silly Gay Nontroversy
March 31, 2014 by V the K
The CEO of Mozilla holds a politically incorrect opinion on gay marriage. Since Mozilla produces the Firefox browser, the gay left … in their usual perfectly reasonable way … wants you to know that if you use Firefox, you're morally equivalent to Josef Mengele. Possibly worse. Probably worse, in fact.
Matchmaking website OKCupid wants its users to boycott Firefox; and gives this histrionic explanation.
If individuals like Mr. Eich had their way, then roughly 8% of the relationships we've worked so hard to bring about would be illegal… Those who seek to deny love and instead enforce misery, shame and frustration are our enemies, and we wish them nothing but failure.
Is there any evidence Mr. Eich wants gay relationships illegal or gay people to be miserable? Of course not, this is just the usual gay-left drama queen victimhood and bullying twofer.
Seriously, we would all be better off if these people would just grow the hell up.
Terry MacAuliffe Gets Right Down to Business
It was well-known Terry MacAulliffe was sleazy and corrupt, but he was elected Governor of Virginia on the basis that his opponent was supposedly going to outlaw gay sex or somesuch. And when you vote stupidly, this is the kind of thing you can expect.
[Virginia Governor Terry] McAuliffe said aides sent a fundraising solicitation without his knowledge or approval. The request asked for donations to the new Common Good Virginia PAC in increments of $10,000, $25,000, $50,000 and $100,000, with corresponding levels of access to the governor.
Donors who gave $100,000 were promised a private dinner with the Democratic governor and his wife. The fundraising letter, first posted on the conservative website BearingDrift.com, also promised large donors monthly meetings with unnamed policy experts.
And let us never forget the response of the GOP Establishment to months of Democrat attack ads on Ken Cuccinelli.

Democrats Attempt Jedi Mind Trick
First up, Senator Angus King of Maine (an alleged Independent who just happens to vote in lockstep with the senate Democrats), claiming "There is no such thing as Obamacare."
"There is no such thing as Obamacare. You can't sign up for Obamacare. You sign up for an Anthem policy or an Aetna policy or a WellPoint policy. It's private insurance."
"This is not the Massive Socialist Failure You're Looking For," (waves hand).
You can bet if it were working, they'd be calling it Obamacare.
Also, Democrat Majority Leader Senator Harry Reid of Nevada is either lying or no longer capable of remembering when he's lying.
"We heard about the evils of ObamaCare, about the lives it's ruining in Republicans' stump speeches and in ads paid for by oil magnates, the Koch brothers. But in those tales, turned out to be just that: tales, stories made up from whole cloth, lies distorted by the Republicans to grab headlines or make political advertisements." – Senator Harry Reid, February 2014
"Mr. President, the junior Senator from Wyoming has come to the floor several times recently talking about the fact that examples that he and other Republicans have given, dealing with ObamaCare, examples that they think are bad, I've called lies. Mr. President, that is simply untrue. I have never come to the floor, to my recollection, and I never said a word about any of the examples that Republicans have given regarding ObamaCare and how it's not very good." –
Senator Harry Reid, March 2014
Thank you, Nevada, for sending the rest of the country this gift. Thank you, oh so bloody much. Now, exactly when did you guys start hating the rest of America as much as Massachusetts does?

'Noah' and Not Getting That Religion Thing
Reading Matt Walsh's review of Noah, which pretty much aligns with most of the other reviews I've read. The film is marketed to appeal to a religious audience, but is contemptuous of religion (the director is an atheist). Also, it's poorly made, with ludicrous special effects, ridiculous 'rock people,' and a muddled plot that bears only a passing resemblance to the Biblical account. But what struck me were the comments, many of which were along the lines of this one:
Let me ask you a question Mr. Matt Walsh, what's the point of making this movie if it's the same as the original story? I mean seriously, do you know nothing about movies? They are made for entertainment, not to pass down stories(Documentaries aren't movies, they're documentaries). New things are good. Take a look at the Harry Potter movies. The fifth one, The Order of the Phoenix, was nothing like it's original, yet it got a 7.4, a somewhat decent review. All in all, don't judge a movie on whether or not it sticks to the original story, treat it as it's own story.
This comment, and others in the same vein, made me realize; to a lot of people, there really is no difference between the Harry Potter books and the Holy Bible. There are no sacred texts; no eternal truths. There is just whatever entertains you at a specific moment in time. From that starting point, it's easy to see the producers missing the point of the Biblical story of Noah: That God will preserve the righteous and faithful, even if the rest of the world perishes because of their evil. It's a point that doesn't make it across when Noah, instead of being portrayed as righteous and faithful, is portrayed as deranged and obsessed (which is pretty much the standard for religious folk in the Hollywood universe; except for the Noble Mohammedans.).

A conversation I keep having with people
Other: How 'bout that economy?
Jeff: The U.S. dollar's days are numbered. I don't know when, but sometime in the next five years (and maybe even beginning as soon as this year), the dollar will be kicked out as the key world currency.
Other: That's crazy. We're Number One. Other countries need us to trade with.
Jeff: Not necessarily. In fact, it would be good for other countries to keep more goods for their own people, rather than sending them to us just for our crappy paper dollars.
Other: But dollars are how you, like, buy stuff. Countries will always need dollars.
Jeff: Why? They can set up payment and trade systems in their own currencies, without us. And stupid Obama is helping to push Russia, China and India together as we speak. That's half the world.
Other: But Germany and Japan will stick with the U.S.
Jeff: Really? Why? Japan is a sinking ship. Germany isn't, but Germany traditionally does business with Russia and China. They could wake up and re-align at any time.
Other: That's crazy. Germany has been pro-U.S. for 70 years. They'll never change.
Jeff: Hmm, why are you so sure?
Other: How 'bout them Niners? It's been raining cats and dogs.
Now consider this news item: Bundesbank, PBOC in Pact to Turn Frankfurt Into Renminbi Hub.
Germany's Bundesbank and the People'€™s Bank of China agreed to cooperate in the clearing and settling of payments in [China's] renminbi…
The central banks signed a memorandum of understanding in Berlin today…
"Frankfurt is one of Europe's foremost financial centers and home to two central banks, making it a particularly suitable location," said Joachim Nagel, a member of the Bundesbank's executive board. "Renminbi clearing will strengthen the close economic and financial ties between Germany and the People's Republic of China."…
In a sign of closer economic ties between the two countries, China plans to open a fourth consulate in Germany…About 800 Chinese companies have bases in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany's industrial heartland…
German companies including Siemens AG, the country's biggest engineering company, and Volkswagen AG are embracing the renminbi internally as a third currency for cross-border trade settlements…
This isn't new; it's a trend. China has been inking pacts with country after country in the last five years, so they can stop needing the U.S. dollar. That's how and why the dollar is getting set for a fall.
I don't think this trend has been reported much, in U.S. media. I try to spread the word, as I can. The U.S. has worsened its own problems in the last six years, and is moving toward some tough times. Get ready. Have your life in order: health & relationships fixed, debts paid, career solid. Also, don't hide under a rock, but just in case things get really bad, consider maybe having some emergency supplies, gold and/or guns.
Don't say you weren't warned. Russia, China and India have problems too, but some (not all) of those problems stem from U.S. dominance and will be solved as they slowly re-organize the world in their favor.

The Soft Bigotry of Low Expectations
If you were a college football player in an African-American Studies Class; this paper would earn you an A-.
ROSA PARKS: MY STORY: THE FULL 146-WORD TEXT OF THE TERM PAPER
On the evening of December Rosa Parks decided that she was going to sit in the white people section on the bus in Montgomery, Alabama.
During this time blacks had to give up there seats to whites when more whites got on the bus. Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat.
Her and the bus driver began to talk and the conversation went like this. 'Let me have those front seats' said the driver.
She didn't get up and told the driver that she was tired of giving her seat to white people.
'I'm going to have you arrested,' said the driver. 'You may do that,' Rosa Parks responded.
Two white policemen came in and Rosa Parks asked them 'why do you all push us around?'
The police officer replied and said 'I don't know, but the law is the law and you're under arrest.
And that was the entirety of the Term Paper.
The Professor that exposed this fraud was stripped of her Supervisory Title and subsequently left the University of North Carolina where the fraud occurred. And the UNC pinky swears that this sort of thing doesn't happen anymore.
No wonder the Obama Regime has targeted college athletes for unionization.

Explaining the Derangement of the Progressive Left
It seems Jeff and I have been doing more than a few posts lately cataloguing the angry derangement of the left. All of this anger, shrillness, violent pathology, intolerance, rage, and rejection of logic coming from those who claim to be the most peceaful, tolerant, and rational members of society creates a paradox. How can a progressive claim to be rationale, and yet consistently favor discredited and unsustainable economic policies? How can a progressive claim to be tolerant, yet demand that all contrary opinion be shouted down and dissidents be jailed? How can a progressive claim to believe all races are equal, but demand that blacks and hispanics be treated as inferiors that need to be condescended to and acccommodated because they just can't be expected to perform as well as white people if all are treated equally? And the greatest paradox of all; how are progressive leftists so blind to their own contradictions and hypocrisy?
(Progressive Leftist: "Um, because You're a RACIST!!!")
John C. Wright Attempts to explain:
The theory must explain, first, the honest decency of the modern liberals combined with their astonishing indifference, nay, hostility to facts, common sense, and evidence; second, it must explain their high self-esteem (or, to be blunt, their pathological narcissism) combined not merely with an utter lack of accomplishment, but with their utter devotion to destructiveness, a yearning to ruin everything they touch; third, it must explain their sanctimoniousness combined with their applause, praise, support, and tireless efforts to spread all perversions (especially sexual), moral decay, vulgarity, and every form of desecration; fourth, their pretense of intellectual superiority combined with their notorious mental fecklessness; fifth, it must explain both their violence and their pacifism; sixth, the theory must explain why they hate the very things they should love most; seventh, the theory must explain why they are incapable of comprehending an honest disagreement or any honorable foe.
The essay attempts to arrive at this theory, and as such, has to cover a lot of ground, and uses a lot of big words and philosophical concepts that would be utterly lost on the typical progressive Obama-voter. But it sort of comes down to this.
How can anyone continue to be a Leftist for a week, much less for a lifetime?
The answer, allow me to remind the patient reader, grows out of their theory. Again, their theory of knowledge is that there is no knowledge, no truth, only bigoted opinion. The only way to avoid bigotry is to avoid judgment and the use of reason. Avoiding reason necessitates a theory of morality that denies cause and effect. No vice causes loss, no virtue causes happiness. Hence life is a random roulette wheel. If there are no vices and virtues, not even the intellectual virtues of honest thinking, then no independent thought is desired or permitted. Instead, all thoughts are determined by social cues. Thought is collective.
The whole point of Liberal theory from start to finish is to form earplugs to smother the ringing of that alarm clock called reality.
The Leftists are people who abandon their innate intelligence and moral stature and who deliberately make themselves to be stupider than average, less moral and upright and decent than average, who at once combine the worst features of a self-deceived fool and a self-deceiving conniving con-man. The only thing that saves them from the constant pain of the dentist drill of their conscience, the constant clamor of their wretched self-esteem telling them that they do not deserve to live, the only thing, indeed, keeping them alive, is their false and inflated sense of sanctimony.

Progressive Leftist Mozilla Employees Accuse CEO of Thoughtcrime; Demand Resignation
Mozilla CEO Brandon Eich has a political opinion that employees disagree with. Therefore, he must be punished.
Some employees at Mozilla, the non-profit organization behind the Firefox browser, are calling on new CEO Brendan Eich to resign.
Mozilla workers are upset with Eich because he supported Proposition 8 and donated to the politicians who backed it.
Prop 8 was a Californian ballot-proposition banning same-sex marriage. It was officially rejected in February 2012.
Those who have a different opinion than the Progressive Left must be punished… because tolerance.

Notes from the Angry, Stupid, Progressive Left
The angry, deranged children of the left have been busy this week. In addition to turning hatred-fueled vitriol on a black Republican for leaving the plantation, going nanners over Stephen Colbert's satirical tweet and the use of the term "homosexuals" to describe homosexuals, yet another call for Climate Change skeptics to be arrested and tried as heretics, and throwing a hissy-fit over America's Single Most Important Issue — Infant Circumcision — the progressive left found some other occasions to behave consistently within expectations.
Progressive Talk-Radio Host Mike Malloy threatened to murder NRA Board Members:
"The NRA, which they're behind this of course, they want guns everywhere….I would like to invite one of the NRA board members, and I'll be armed, let's just get this over with, OK? Come on down to Georgia and I'll be packing heat and you be packing heat or whether you want to or not, I don't give a damn, it's up to you. And you come, meet me someplace, and all of sudden, see, we have stand your ground here, and all of a sudden I'm going to feel real…threatened by you! And I will shoot you! If I feel threatened. The law says I can. Ha ha ha ha ha, Ha ha ha ha ha!"
And, in what was obviously a bid to get a spot on Bill Maher's show, angry, bitter, progressive leftist feminist and alleged "comedian" Laura Levites called for all conservative Christian males to be castrated. And her fellow bitter, feminist "comedian" and Daily Show Producer Liz Winstead demonstrated complete ignorance of the human reproductive system.
How 'bout a hand for all the folks fighting' so hard to make sure pregnancy is a result every time you have sex!! #The1PercentWorkinHard
— Lizz Winstead (@lizzwinstead) March 26, 2014
So, the Government needs to force employers to pay for women's contraceptives and abortificants because every time a woman has unprotected sex, she gets pregnant. Got it?
Also, MSDNC Host Chris Matthews said that former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld "looks like a car bomber."
Just another typical week in the Reality-Based Community of Enlightened Tolerance.

Harry Reid Blames Obamacare Failure on "You Dumb Hicks Who Don't Know How to Internet."
Oh, yeah, he went there.
According to Supreme Commissar and Leader Harry Reid, "the fault of struggling to sign up on the Obamacare exchanges didn't lie with the faulty website, but with the people who weren't educated on how to use the Internet."
Shame on all of you for letting President Obama down.
