Lefty Blogger Venom

Some guy named Mithras got some blog-play for posting a nasty "Conservative Blogger Taxonomy," attacking a lot of the bigger conservative bloggers in personal terms.

I can't really cry foul, because, um, I've done that on occasion myself.

Pretty pissed off not to be included, though.

Bill from INDC has a roundup of those who bothered reacting, including from Dean Esmay.

He also wonders why the tolerant left can't seem to be capable of criticizing Michelle Malkin without resorting to attacks on her sex and, uhhh, her race.

Doesn't seem very tolerant.

He also notes that there is no female non-white blogger on the left of nearly the influence of Ms. Malkin. Perhaps that's what's driving them so batty about her.

They preach colorblindness, we actually practice it.

I've razzed Oliver Willis seven bazillion times on this blog, and never once did I allude to the fact that he's black. How on earth would such an attack advance any cause?

I don't really get it... I guess it's along the lines of why gay-friendly comedians are allowed to make gay jokes without any fallout. When someone knows you're on their side, you can admit, Okay, Kath Griffin makes a good point; we can be a little silly and bitchy sometimes, and what the hell is our deal with "It's Raining Men" anyhow?

I think many liberals similarly imagine they have carte blance on the race question.

But I'm not sure they have the bona fides of racial tolerance they presume they do. Their starting assumption -- that if you're a person of color any shade darker than pale you are expected to think in a certain way -- seems expressly racist to me.

Consider: What if I began knocking VonKreedon for being a race-traitor? Selling out the white race and such?

"Racial solidarity" morphs easily into "race loyalty," which seems to me to be the very definition of racism.

But to the left, it's only racist if whiteys do it.

If it weren't for double-standards, many on the left would have no standards at all.

Right Wing Nuthouse Returns Fire: I would have done this myself, but I'm too busy being a serious, respectable citizen journalist.

You mean he's not??

Ace, you didn't come up with that, did you? Tell me you heard it elsewhere, 'cause it's perfect.

If you *did* come up with it, run with it-- it's a helluva lot catchier than Affordable Family Formation.

Cheers,

It's old, but I think I came up with it. I've said it before (a bunch of times; there's nothing new on this blog) and I don't remember reading it from someone else.

But if I subconsciously plagiarized, I'm willing to apologize.

"But to the left, it's only racist if whiteys do it."

Actually, Ace, it's only racist if it's done not according to the PC way, whether it's white, black, brown, or polka dot. Of course, then the response is that the Michelle Malkins of the world are only parroting whitey anyway, so what difference does it make?

I'm no a youngin anymore, but it's been my observation through several political metamorphoses that the worst racists are those of the color they are racist about loudest.

Are neocons racist? Some. Are libs racist? Nearly all.

I did a long post on this yesterday, as well. Some lefties finally stepped forward and condemned this dick, but it took some time.

Also, he apologized today...for conservatives being stupid and humorless scum or some such.

Their starting assumption -- that if you're a person of color any shade darker than pale you are expected to think in a certain way -- seems expressly racist to me.

Actually, I think their starting assumption is that *all* people deserving of tolerance by their betters are expected to think in a certain way. If you don't, you're either Evil, or a subliterate cretin.

But these people can *understand* white males who espouse evil views. Under their worldview, this is a possibility, since they might benefit, or think they might, from the McHitlerburton RethugliKKKan regime. They're The Man; Cheney might give them big sacks filled with oil nuggets or something if they help him oppress People of Dark Complexion.

But people of other races? It's one of those "does not compute" scenarios that Kirk always used to crash evil computers. It explicitly goes against self-interest for persons of color to support the people who want to reinstitute slavery. And this leads them down the path of racism - you have to rule out Evil, so you have to conclude Stupid (or Stupid/Evil.)

Absoloutely! And by defintion, if one applies a certain standard only to one's enemies, then these are not standards at all but cheap tricks designed to beat your enemies with.

In every public discussion (or rather, Liberal tirade) about racism, the seething hatred, resentment, prejudice, and active bigotry of blacks against whites is completely ignored, or (at best) justified by slavery. But as a justification to make up for past wrongs, when those same wrongs are visited upon an entire group who weren't even alive at the time, this smacks of Nazism. Or as Clarence Thomas put it: "there is no such as a debtor or a creditor race." We now live in the Liberal upside-down world where the government has sponsored racism against white people by mandating that blacks shall be given "preferntial treatment" in matters of education, employment, housing etc. To my knowlege, never before in history has the vast majority of people in a country (White 75%) have been put at a disadvange by a small minority (black 14%) without war. The Liberals were not responsible for spreading the civil rights of blacks, instead they did the Liberal thing: they took a very popular idea whose time had come and exaggerated it and pimped it into the monstrosity we have today. And after years of being called racist and demonized by Liberals, conservatives have just finally rolled over and given up. Someday the people will grow tired of this terrible wrong and the SCOTUS will reverse it, but not for a very long time and certainly not in time for many white people to benefit from their new found freedom.

Mithras has no talent and is dumb as a rock.

Amen. And the prolefeed given out by the MSM to the proles is as racist as and stereotypical as of the insane rants of Gobbels. But what is most frightening about all of this is that many Liberals know this and yet justify it with the same insanity as Doublethink:

dou•ble•think ('d&-b&l-"thi[ng]k), noun, Date: 1949 : a simultaneous belief in two contradictory ideas.

Here is how Winston Smith described doublethink in the novel 1984:

"To know and not to know, to be conscious of complete truthfulness while telling carefully constructed lies, to hold simultaneously two opinions which cancelled out, knowing them to be contradictory and believing in both of them, to use logic against logic, to repudiate morality while laying claim to it, to believe that democracy was impossible and that the Party was the guardian of democracy, to forget whatever it was necessary to forget, then to draw it back into memory again at the moment when it was needed, and then promptly to forget it again: and above all, to apply the same process to the process itself. That was the ultimate subtlety: consciously to induce unconsciousness, and then, once again, to become unconscious of the act of hypnosis you had just performed. Even to understand the word 'doublethink' involved the use of doublethink.'

Best description of Liberalism I ever read. And well it should be, for Orwell was describing the Leftist/Liberal post WWII governments of the UK!!!

Winston Churchill had a saying that describes how I feel about Liberals-

They have all the virtures I dislike and none of the vices I admire.

Months ago, I reported that the final Zodiac cypher had been cracked and the name of the killer revealed. And the name of the killer turned out to be someone suspected in the unsolved Black Dahlia murder. The general tone of my mention of this was "serious you guys, this is real."
Well, it's not real. It's total bullshit.
Sorry about that. I did two things: 1, I bought into something, a conspiracy theory really, because it was new and exciting. And 2, I allowed a self-declared "expert" to snow me over with his "expert" claims about solving ciphers, an alleged expertise I could not challenge because I know practically nothing about codebreaking. I remember being similarly swindled by self-declared "experts" babbling about "chromatic aberrations." (Although I didn't really buy into that, but I found it "interesting" and I wasn't strongly skeptical about it. Hey they said they're "experts," they must know that they're talking about, right?)
I screwed up. It won't be the last time, I'm sure.

You must not think me mad when I tell you what I found below the thin shell of chocolate used to disguise this bonbon's true face. Yes!

The Short Unhappy Life of a Russian Soldier: Why recruits die in 20-30 minutes
Interesting video. Some key parts: drones were responsible for 70-80% of all battlefield deaths in mid-2025, and I bet it's higher now. The Russian army is incredibly corrupt. Men get assigned to the most dangerous frontline units, the "Storm" units, unless they pay a superior $2,000 to be assigned to a different unit. Furthermore, there is often no real training for recruits -- commanders pocket the money that would have gone towards fuel and ammo costs incurred during training. Much "training" consists just of taking a single picture of soldiers doing something soldier-y, like fording a river, and publishing that as proof that the training was done. Even when it is done, training is only two weeks long.
