It’s not often that I am rendered speechless, but this story has made today one of those times.
We always make fun of Florida Man when some weird stuff happens in the Sunshine State; I think that the subject of this article qualifies as “California Man/Woman”, for all sorts of reasons.
I accept no responsibility for what may happen when you follow that link, even though it’s quite safe for work… I think.
When I wrote Let Africa Sink all those years ago, one of my main arguments for so doing was that giving aid to Africa just didn’t work, and was a waste of money.
Needless to say, I was called a “racist”, “stupid” and “heartless” (among other names) by the Bleeding Heart Set.
Well now, lookee here:
Feel free to read the details for reasons why, but if you’re pressed for time, don’t bother. It’s just the usual African catalog of corruption, venality and inefficiency.
So the next time some celebrity asks you to give money to some fashionable charity, save your money and spend it on something that actually provides a benefit to someone — you (e.g. with a new gun, fine liquor or similar). Or if you’d rather invest the money, head to a casino because your odds of winning there are better than your donation to Pore & Starvin Inc. making a difference.
Yeah, I’m heartless.
At RealClearPolitics, Betsy McCaughey asks this question at the end of her article:
“Democrats in favor of socialism need to take a hard look at the results in Venezuela and Cuba. Is that what they want for America?”
Oh good grief, of course they do. They just want to ensure that they are at the top of Failed Socialist Experiment #76 so that they can a.) get obscenely wealthy and b.) thus be shielded from the outcome of the failure. What happens to the working classes is, as always, irrelevant.
As for the author: it’s well-meaning but naïve people like this who fail to understand fully the evils of socialism and its proponents.
Talking about some fresh unhinged lunacy perpetrated by the Democrats last week, Insty’s Ed Driscoll opined:
As Conquest’s third law of politics states, “The simplest way to explain the behavior of any bureaucratic organization is to assume that it is controlled by a cabal of its enemies.”
With all respect to Ed (and to Mr. Conquest), I would suggest that there is no way that the hapless Republicans could engineer such a mess. The GOP couldn’t organize an orgy at a brothel, let alone control this bag of cats.
Nope; the Democrats’ current insanity is completely self-managed, fueled by copious amounts of liberal stupidity and Marxism [some overlap].
So one-time-moderate Republican Phil Bredesen is campaigning for the U.S. Senate seat in Tennessee, as a Democrat.
One might think that this would be an uphill battle as it is; but apparently the people who are trying to get this tool elected said this recently:
A top spokesman for the Tennessee Democratic Party’s effort to get Phil Bredesen elected senator has said he views “white male” gun owners as “the biggest terrorist organization on the planet.”
In Tennessee. Well, I guess there’s only one thing to say to Bredesen: buh-bye.
In the meantime, all you dangerous white male gun-owning terrorists should do the responsible thing — no, not that thing, the voting thing.
And let’s make sure that Marsha Blackburn isn’t the only Republican sent to the Senate come November. Ditto the House.
November 6 just can’t come quickly enough.
Here’s the Cliff Notes summary:
Make up your own minds. Me, I think I’ll have a glass of red with my steak tonight.
