Sheesh… I do a piece on Romanian gymnast Nadia Comeneci — and now everybody’s got to get in on the act.
To be fair, though: Tom Leonard’s article is more far substantial than mine (which was just an excuse to leer at her grownup tatas).
And it reminds us that Commies are unspeakable bastards.
Here’s an interesting one:
And to think that I suggested that very thing over ten years ago, as an unrealistic (at the time) plot device in Prime Target.
Via Insty, I read this:
Stephen Collinson is well-known among conservatives as the most hackneyed of the hacks at CNN. The CNN Politics Twitter account promoted his latest online essay with the words “President Biden to showcase his moderate radicalism in his big congressional address.”
“Moderate radicalism”? Doesn’t that make about as much sense as “quiet loudness”?
Well, no. Basically, “moderate radicalism” is when radical ideas and positions (i.e. extreme leftwing, in this case) are talked about and explored, but there are no actions associated with the activity. Here’s an example:
“Racial equity is going to be our social goal and policy” — moderate radicalism. Then there’s this:
“Racial equity is going to be our social goal and policy, and anyone not supporting it will be sent to reeducation camps” — that’s pure (immoderate) radicalism.
Just don’t kid yourself that the latter is an impossibility in these here United States.
Never forget that socialists, of whatever variant, are utterly convinced of the rightness and purity of their ideas, and that opponents thereof are evil and should be suppressed, by force if necessary.
Via Insty comes this latest bastardy, in Eureka MO just west of St. Louis:
Faced with complaints from parents about the indoctrination of children, an official in Rockwood School District, Missouri, instructed teachers to create two sets of curriculum: a false one to share with parents, and then the real set of curriculum, focused on topics like activism and privilege.
I should point out that the foul “educator” who sent out this loathsome message is, like First Lady Jill Biden, a Doctor in Education (EdD).
And the next time someone tells me that homeschooling is wrong for children, I’m going to punch them in the face.
From Hizzoner NYGov Cuomo [okay, quit that spitting] :
“The streets of New York are not the OK Corral, and the N.R.A.’s dream of a society where everyone is terrified of each other and armed to the teeth is abhorrent to our values.”
Just a point of clarification, Herr Gauleiter : at the O.K. Corral, everyone was carrying a gun — and lest you forget, the outlaws lost.
Compare that to the mean streets of NYFC nowadays, where only the bad guys have guns… and the law-abiding citizens suffer. Is that part of those “values”, too? If so, I want nothing to do with them, or you.
Reader Mike S. sends me this article:
Even Texas Has Communists
May Day is commie day. A bunch of them gathered in a downtown park in the rain in Austin, Texas.
Not a lot of them, but more than there should be. They got very wet. Some of them tried to take over a public street and got arrested.
…with the question: “I thought ya’ll had an open season on varmints?”
Simple answer: Austin isn’t part of Texas. Once you understand that, everything falls into place. There’s a reason that it’s called “Moscow-On-The-Colorado-River” or more simply, “Moscow” by actual Texans.
