“I understand why Barack Obama wants to send every kid to college, because of their indoctrination mills, absolutely. The indoctrination that is going on at the university level is a harm to our country.”
— Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum, in an interview with conservative radio host Glenn Beck.
Santorum and Beck mulled over a number of social and political issues, but hearing them converse about education is like Abbott and Costello discuss quantum physics. Higher education makes people think outside the religious and social boxes in which their families and communities place them. Therefore, in Santorum’s convoluted view, it’s better for them not to go to college and just stay ignorant. I guess that’s why he and Beck get along so well. Add Sarah Palin into the sloppy mix and it’ll be the holy trinity of stupid!
As if some of us hadn’t figured this out already, new research designed to understand the effect of text messaging on language found that texting has a negative impact on people’s linguistic ability to interpret and accept words. The study found that those who texted more were less accepting of new words, but those who read more traditional print media such as books, magazines, and newspapers were more accepting of the same words. Data was culled from examining university students, so you know the researchers tried really hard.
This apparently is for real. An Alaskan man, Gordon Warren Epperly, filed a lawsuit to have President Obama removed this November’s ballot because…he’s biracial, or a mulatto. The suit states, in part:
“Barack Hussein Obama II, a.k.a. Barack Hussein Obama, a.ka. Barack H. Obama has the race status of being a “mulatto.” Barack Obama’s father (Barack Hussein Obama I) was a full blood Negro being born Nyang’oma Kogelo, Nyanza Province, Kenya and raised in the Colony of Kenya. Barack Obama’s mother (Stanley Ann Dunham) was a white Caucasian woman being born in Wichita, Kansas on November 29, 1942 and raised in the state of Washington and in the state of Hawaii.
As stated above, for an Individual to be a candidate for the office of president of the United States, the candidate must meet the qualifications set forth in the United States Constitution and one of those qualifications is that the Candidate shall be a “natural born citizen” of the United States. As Barack Hussein Obama II is of the “mulatto” race, his status of citizenship is founded upon the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution. Before the [purported] ratification of the Fourteenth Amendment, the race of “Negro” or “mulatto” had no standing to be citizens of the United States under the United States Constitution.
As the fourteenth amendment is only a grant of “civil rights” and not a grant of “political rights” Barack Hussein Obama II does not have and “political rights” under any provision of the United States Constitution to hold any Public Office of the United States government.”
In other words, Epperly still believes that the original framers of the U.S. Constitution meant for only full-blooded Caucasian males to serve as elected officials, mainly president. I already knew the “birther” movement was born of racial hatred and intolerance. But, this move is pure bigotry. White people who wish the United States was a White-only society don’t realize they already have one. It’s called Europe. That’s where Epperly and his like-minded ilk need to go. And, take that idiot Sarah Palin with you!
Damn, these old broads look like the nuns who taught me in grade school! I still think we should take sex out of the homes and schools and put it back in the pool halls and porn shops where it belongs.
Survivalist Tip: In the upheaval of the apocalypse, many people probably will have guns, or at least slingshots. Regardless, you should have body armor in your cache of survivalist gear in the event you encounter a gun battle with your foes; meaning any politicians or celebrities who manage to survive the fury. Body armor is classified into Levels I, II, or III. This means: okay, good, or invincible. Obviously, you need to buy Level III body armor. What?! Did you think I’d say just pick one?! Level III body armor is 100% stab proof, almost 100% bullet proof and about 82.5% odor proof. (The latter figure refers to the ability of the armor to protect your skin from the foul smell of rotting carcasses.) For the fashion-conscious, it also comes in 3 colors: black, ebony and onyx. Not that you should care! But, I’m sure amidst the tumult, some women or nelly gay men will make that an issue. Black is my favorite color anyway, so I’ll be happy no matter what. As with anything, you never know what the apocalyptic aftermath may bring. It won’t necessarily bring any law and order, but it will definitely bring tax relief.
In a clear case of free speech violations, a judge in Ohio has ordered a man to apologize to his estranged wife for a Facebook post he made in the midst of a heated divorce battle (when are divorce battles ever cool?), or go to jail. Mark Byron vented his frustrations over the entire ordeal by stating, in part:
“…if you are an evil, vindictive woman who wants to ruin your husbands life and take your son’s father away from him completely – all you need to do is say that you’re scared of your husband or domestic partner…”
Even though Byron had blocked his wife from his Facebook page (so you know it was serious!), she somehow saw the post and subsequent comments made by others. That violated a restraining order she’d placed on him. So, the judge, in turn, commanded Byron to post an apology every day for 30 consecutive days, or be incarcerated for 60 days. Byron chose the apology scenario obviously in order to avoid jail time, but more importantly, so he could visit his son.
Men have enough stacked against them when they enter child custody battles without being told what to say or how to feel. But, Byron is right: all a woman has to do in our politically correct society these days is say that a man abused her somehow – or even just threatened to abuse her – and he’s in trouble. The legal precedent of innocent until proven guilty has been subverted by the feminist left in recent decades where men accused of sexual and / or physical abuse are presumed guilty until they prove themselves not guilty as charge.
