Im loving Chris Plant yelling at the “MORON” on his program! Thanks for the heads up!!

[Fu-fu2]

“Total agree, Emailed it and Facebooked, not to mention I have been speaking about it in smaller groups at Church and at Tea Party meetings. Its well written, old news but needed to be said again (and again and again) until the point is made and sinks in. Evil has to be called out into the light of day, then it will scurry away when enough recognize it.”

I had the link because I had heard it discussed on a local talk radio station this morning. I agree, a great commentary. I remember at the time of Roe v Wade, I got the impression that the Catholic Church didn’t want to aggressively speak out because they feared, in the midst the “sexual revolution” that they would lose too many church members.

White House seeks to soothe concerns over contraception rule
By Peter Wallsten and Sandhya Somashekhar, Published: February 7, 2012

“There are conversations right now to arrange a meeting to talk with folks about how this policy can be nuanced,” said Joel C. Hunter, a Florida megachurch pastor who has grown personally close to Obama and advised his White House on religious issues. “This is so fixable, and we just want to get into the conversation.” ....

Hunter and several other outside Obama advisers reject the charge that the president is anti-religion, but they say the Health and Human Services rule was a policy mistake..

Noooo kidding.

"The left confuses their contortions with "nuance," but nuance is simply the left left brain's feeble attempt to keep reality at bay, which inevitably seeps in through the walls, ceilings, and floorboards."

Here:

"Unintelligent people are usually just plain wrong, so we don't have to worry much about them. On the other hand, in order to attain truly deep stupidity, one must generally be of above average intelligence. Therefore, in a certain very real sense, intelligence does not vary inversely with stupidity, but directly with it. Not for nothing has it been said that so much philosophy is simply "error on a grandiose scale."

A prime example of deep stupidity and grandiose error is Marxism and all of its many polluted streams, branches, creeks and crocks. That variants of this falsehood still proliferate on the left today means that, as always, intelligence alone is no unknowculation against evil, darkness, and error. Hardly.

For conservative "classical" liberals, we are generally faced with an odious choice between the stupid party and the evil party.

We generally align ourselves with the former, since the former is at least susceptible to our influence, whereas the latter is not.

"...the fundamental truths are always accessible, but they could not be imposed on those who refuse to take them into consideration."

Among other responses, truth engenders a dynamic sense of veneration -- a sense of the sacred. And this is why you will have noticed that the left attempts to surround so many of its moldy lies with the penumbra of sanctity. But the sanctity is entirely bogus -- it readily slides into the sanctimony that is intrinsic to the left. In a perverse way, this sanctimoniousness answers the human need for the sacred, but in an alternatively crudely sentimental or authoritarian manner enforced by the many varieties political correctness. (You will notice that the left's confusion of sentimentality with moral/religious depth is just as evident as their totalitarian mind control; they are not opposites but complementary -- like Hitler's sentimental love of dogs.)

This is why the left doesn't really have ideas but icons -- including "iconic ideas." It is an insidious and sinister process, because there is great psychological pressure on all us of to bow down before these false gods, as if they were actually sacred (for example, the many fawning MSM tributes to "the Goreacle"). And there is absolutely no symmetry in this.

For example, if a conservative steps in one of the left's many sacred cowpies, there is a good chance that his career will be ruined. But if a leftist offends what is actually sacred, he will be praised as someone who "speaks truth to power."

It is inconceivable that the media would trot out some moral equivalent of Christopher Hitchens to blast Martin Luther King on the occasion of his death because of the latter's embrace of dangerous socialist ideas. For one thing, few conservatives are so tasteless, not to mention enraged.

The point is that nearly every one of the leftists's core beliefs is not a proper idea but an icon, whether it is manmade global warming, being "for the little guy," affirmative action, abortion, homosexual behavior, "peace," "progress," multiculturalism, diversity -- in fact, "progressive" is the quintessence of a meaningless icon, since it bears no relationship to progress and promotes economic and social policies that ensure not just a lack of progress, but regression. For example, the "peace movement" can only bring about more war, just as affirmative action can only bring about harm to blacks.

And this is why it is so easy to be a conservative, because you no longer have to contort yourself with so many lies in order to be thoroughly consistent, both internally and externally. The left confuses their contortions with "nuance," but nuance is simply the left left brain's feeble attempt to keep reality at bay, which inevitably seeps in through the walls, ceilings, and floorboards. ........."

Deep Stupidity and the Medicine for a Nightmare ~ Robert W. Godwin, Ph.D (forensic clinical psychologist)

[Mountain Mary]

If Obama gets reelected, it’ll be because of a stupid, uninformed electorate who votes for him..
and a stupid uninformed GOP Establishment who thinks that nominating a Rino is going to be the answer,.

[sloop]

If Obama gets reelected, it’ll be because of a stupid, uninformed electorate who...pout because their nominee did not get the nod and did not vote for romney

[Mountain Mary]

Go away, Sloop.
We don’t need any more Mitt Romney for President fan club members here on FR.

There must be another site for you where you can slobber over him with other Rinos.

[sloop]

you should ask who i support instead of throwing around your guess

even though i made it clear its not romney

but i will vote for him if the choice is romney or obama - something you won't do

enough of you emotionally stunted, brain damaged fools do that and obama would win

[Mountain Mary]

I know enough about you to know I don’t care who you support.

[sloop]

are you flirting with me?

just so you know - i’m off the market

and

i don't date chicks without toofz

[The Right Stuff]

I'm with you, sloop. Every election cycle we get these "can't see the forest for the trees" folks who want to take their ball and go home if their candidate/pet issue doesn't win the primary. If they can't see the importance of Supreme Court justices, not to mention lower courts and what a fascist nightmare Obama would be in a second term!

I'd vote for my dog over Obama.

“CPAC 2012 seemed to purge most of the liberal/RINO and pro-gay groups

I did not know that. One of the reasons I don’t go. Maybe next year I’ll go, I live in Bethesda so I can just hop on the metro. BTW Chris broadcasts his show from there on Thursday and Friday. You should listen to them, they were great shows too, they will be up for a few more days. He went there on Saturday too, you could have met him! Mrs Suhks is a huge fan/groupie and goes to a lot of his WMAL parties, me, not so much ;o)

Sorry for the delay in my reply to you, Clint N. Suhks. I had to do a little research to ensure that GOProud (the pro-gay group) was indeed NOT at CPAC 2012. They were not. I wandered through the vast exhibition hall (3-4 times bigger than when CPAC was at the Crystal Marriott in Arlington years ago) and didn't see a GOProud booth, but I found out for sure (by another source) that they were not at CPAC this year.

Part of the past problems with GOProud and the boycott of CPAC by Sarah Palin, Heritage Center, and others was the bad blood between these people/groups and ACU/CPAC head David Keene (whom I think enthusiastically embraced GOProud). Keene retired at the end of CPAC 2011 - Al Cardenas (a Cuban-American from Florida) now runs CPAC, and overall, he did a fine job this year.

Sarah Palin was the keynote (finally!), I think Heritage was back, Frank Gaffney, Media Research Center, others all made a return after years of absence in some cases. There wasn't any "controversy" this year, like last year and in some previous years. Nobody missed David Keene, although he was there as an attendee and introduced a couple of speakers.

Before you sign up for CPAC next year, you may want to check the cpac.org site (or call someone at the ACU/CPAC) to see if GOProud or other objectionable groups plan to return. My source told me that "GOProud hopes to return to CPAC 2013". Apparently GOProud held some event near the CPAC 2012 venue, but they definitely were not included this year. Hopefully "hope" is as far as they get next year. ;-)

I wish I could have met Chris Plante as well - it was difficult to leave our seats in the big ballroom last Saturday - we needed to keep those seats so we could be sure to have a seat for Sarah! They had several overflow rooms with Sarah on video, but heck, we wanted to sit as close to her as possible!

There are WMAL parties? What goes on there? Darn, I wish we lived closer to the DC area. Lots of fun stuff going on down there for us political junkies.... ;-)
