Dressed to Kill in New York
American Thinker ^ | December 26, 2016 | Paul Gottfried

Posted on 12/26/2016 5:58:57 AM PST by Kaslin

My wife subscribes to a magazine, the very sight of which turns my stomach. She believes that it’s beneficial to have this reading matter around so we can know how the “non-deplorables” think. But as a retired college professor, I know whatever is to be known on this subject.

The unpalatable piece of mail that arrives to my disgust each month is called New York, and it is cram full of PC clichés. The lead tirade is usually from Jonathan Chait, who lately has been railing against the plutocrat and Putin-look-alike who is about to enter the White House. Chait is particularly annoyed that Trump is trying to “legitimate his power” by claiming to represent workers. Presumably denizens of the West Village and Reverend Al would do it better.

A recent harangue in the magazine complained that “the Obama years have been too soft” in advancing a Counter-Culture agenda. Despite Obama’s efforts to move the culture toward the left through political means, we supposedly still “tolerate indiscriminate killings of black men and women by police officers,” allow women to have their buttocks pinched at work and do not punish white men sufficiently for speaking abusively about the transgendered. From the most recent issue I discovered that the government should be restructuring the economy to fit the needs of the LGBT community. I’m not sure what prescriptions the government should be following to please these grievance groups but I doubt their implementation would leave us with any recognizable economic freedoms.

I picked this as an “extra free” when ordering some other magazines just out of curiosity. The author of this piece is spot on. Way too precious, self absorbed, and awash in liberal think. Like their crossword puzzle at the back, but the rest just makes me shake my head in dismay.

What could this possibly mean? Do they not still eat? Do they not still drive cars or take alternate forms of transportation manufactured in the marketplace? Do they not still need housing, with windows and roofs and doors and lighting and appliances and plumbing?

The LGBT community gets to vote what kind of economy they want. They vote everyday when they purchase goods and services in the market.

What does your wife think when your monthly copy of American Rifleman arrives?

LIB lunatics and what they “think” are insufferable. Don’t waste your time and stain your brain.

I will translate this for you:

There is injustice in the world! (reference to LGBT)

Therefore, give me all power! I will fix it! Give me all power!

I must have missed something. I never worked in one of those buttocks-pinching outfits.

...restructuring the economy to fit the needs of the LGBT community a small, shrill and arguably mentally ill minority...

The ‘restructuring’ probably means THEY get theirs for free.

“What does your wife think when your monthly copy of American Rifleman arrives?”

I will have to ask my wife that question too.
She usually puts the “AR” issue on top of “Concealed Carry!”
Not sure what she thinks, she never complains.

Somebody bought me a subscription to “National Geographic” (2015)

Pure P.C. Garbage.

Isn’t this supposed to be :”legitimatize his power”
>>Chait is particularly annoyed that Trump is trying to “legitimate his power” by claiming to represent workers.<<

The lead tirade is usually from Jonathan Chait

"The third reason to prefer a Trump nomination: If he does win, a Trump presidency would probably wind up doing less harm to the country than a Marco Rubio or a Cruz presidency. It might even, possibly, do some good." (February 5, 2016) http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2016/02/why-liberals-should-support-a-trump-nomination.html
