  • Study: Conservatives and racists are stupid

    So Joe sent us this link thinking I wouldn’t post it. It’s from NorthwestOhio.com and entitled “Conservatives and racists are actually stupid, study finds” and the title is misleading. What the article actually reports is that the stupid become ideologues;

    A new study bound to stir controversy found that people with a low I.Q. are drawn to prejudice, racism and a socially conservative political ideology.

    I’ll admit that there are some stupid people who are racists and conservative, but that doesn’t translate to all of us conservatives. In fact, I’ve met more liberal racists than conservative racists. And the article, when it quotes the scientists who conducted this study, doesn’t mention conservatives, it only mentions “ideologies”, not being specific about which one;

    The study’s lead author, Dr. Gordon Hodson, told LiveScience that people with lower intelligence scores are attracted to the “structure and order” of these ideologies because they make it easier to comprehend a complicated world.

    So apparently, the study says the racist and stupid are attracted to any ideology that allows them to be intellectually vacant – just knee-jerk reactions to any given discussion.

    The editor who wrote that title must be a racist and a conservative because he’s obviously stupid.

    “Reality is complicated and messy,” Dr. Brian Nosek of the University of Virginia, who was not involved in the study, told The Huffington Post. “Ideologies get rid of the messiness and impose a simpler solution. So, it may not be surprising that people with less cognitive capacity will be attracted to simplifying ideologies.”

    Well, which ideology could be simpler than an ideology that involves supporting a government solution all of your problems, and throwing other people’s money at the solutions yet never has there been an instance of government ever solving anything? And still the support never wanes for more government solutions. Or throwing for more money at more problems.

    To prove who the stupid ones are, Joe sent me this article without seeing the obvious flaws in it.

  • Pale white sot tells us what is “African-American”

    Drunken brawler, Jim Moran, Democrat Congressional carpetbagger in Northern Virginia tells the MSNBC that Congressman Allen West is “not only not representative of the African-American community or of the Republican Party, let alone of the American public. So what he says really is of little or no consequence, but it’s unfortunate.”

    My only dalliance in smoke-filled backroom politics was when I tried to help a friend, a black man from Moran’s district run against Moran several years ago. But he was a Republican in Northern Virginia so his race against Moran was unsuccessful. I’m sure Moran would say the same thing about any Black Republican, you know, because Moran knows what the Black community wants better than any Black Republican.

    And, oh, by the way, Moran calls President Obama “our Lion King” being attacked by “the hyenas”.

  • Jesse Jackson on the Republican Primary in SC

    So I’m sitting here with Fox News in the background (hoping to catch a glimpse of weather girl, Maria Molina) and suddenly, i noticed they were interviewing Jesse Jackson who was complaining that the Republicans are racist because in South Carolina none of the candidates bothered to visit Black churches or Black-owned businesses. In the 2008 presidential election, Blacks voted 96% for Barack Obama, according to Politico, so why should they bother campaigning to Blacks? Why waste their time bowing and scraping to a bunch of people who won’t pull the lever for anyone except one of their own race?

    It also helps that Republicans are truer to the precepts of Martin Luther King than Democrats. Republicans view Americans as just that, one culture, one analogous group, indistinguishable by superficial differences like skin color. It’s Democrats, like Jackson, who divide Americans into races and cultures for their own purposes.

    Yeah, it’s the Blacks who’ve shut themselves out of the Republican Party and who’ve been left behind because of their blind adherence to the Democrat Party. Democrats take their votes for granted, and Republicans take for granted that they won’t get but a pittance of Black votes, so why waste resources? Especially, if Blacks want to put their superficial differences ahead of our common union.

  • Left’s favorite CIA spy arrested

    The Associated Press reports that John Kiriakou, 47, of Arlington, VA was arrested and faced a judge yesterday to answer for charges of outing CIA agents he worked with as an interrogator at Guantanamo. Kiriakou has been a darling of the Left since he first told the media that al-Qaida financier Abu Zubaydah was waterboarded 83 times and that the practice brought no actionable intelligence.

    Tony Camerino has used Kiriakou as source for his own view of the interrogation process. TSO also mentions that Kiriakou is a favorite of Camerino’s proteges at VetVoice, including Jim Staro, the nearly indecipherable, yet most prolific writer at VetVoice.

    A copy of the criminal complaint and affidavit against Kiriakou has been posted at the Washington Post and you can tell by reading it that not only he nonchalantly release the names of covert agents to the media, he apparently didn’t learn the lesson the rest of learned with Martha Stewart – don’t lie to the FBI.

    He was caught because one journalist he identified an agent by name to, turned around and released it to one of the Gitmo terrorists’ legal team, so when the name came up in court, someone got suspicious.

    Journalists are not your friends.

  • New York City to suspend the Fourth Amendment

    You know those people who call themselves “liberals” and pretend that they’re all about people’s rights? Well, where the Hell are they when it comes to the New York Police Department’s testing of a scanner which they can use to search you from 16 feet away without your knowledge?

    “It’s definitely a privacy issue, but it’s for our safety. So it’s just one of those things, a double-edged sword,” added Clarence Moore of Union, N.J.

    Police Commissioner Kelly said the scanner would only be used in reasonably suspicious circumstances and could cut down on the number of stop-and-frisks on the street.

    Oh, well, as long as the sword cuts both ways, i suppose it’s OK, then. And, Chief Kelly, wonder why you have to reduce the number of frisks you have to do? Well, it has to do with the Fourth Amendment…you have to have a reason before you search, and if you have a reason, the suspect is probably in custody already, so go ahead and frisk away.

    Since it’s not OK to frisk everyone in the city, it’s not OK to search them with a scanner, either. In an airport, people tacitly agree to scan, but police just walking around scanning people randomly is just wrong.

    Thanks to Old Trooper for the link.

  • Where history is the polemics of the losers…with tenure

    The richly quotable William F. Buckley Jr once said, “History is the polemics of the victors.” Like much of what dear old WFB said it’s delightful but not really true. At least not anymore.

    To rail against the inherent bias in our modern academia serves little purpose; the cat is out of the bag. The people who care already know and the guilty are overtly satisfied with the status quo. We all know how in the early and mid 1960’s university campuses were “taken over by the protesting youth of the New Left” to quote dissident Harvard Professor Harvey Mansfeld, who was there to see it. We understand that the halls of higher education were beset by radical political groups which then festooned lifetime, tenured positions of power on the campuses, creating entirely new academic disciplines engineered from the beginning to beget new left-wing academics, long after the political movements which spawned them died out. We understand that many our liberal arts programs are simply factories for contemporary American cultural liberalism, nearly devoid of academic rigor or practical education.

    Now the new wave of delusional reconstruction of history is beginning, at your literal expense. According to the Associated Press a bevy of institutions, many funded by your tax dollars, are falling over each other to snap up Occupy memorabilia for new exhibits. To quote from one of our publically employed arbiters of cultural heritage:

    “Occupy is sexy,” said Ben Alexander, who is head of special collections and archives at Queens College in New York, which has been collecting Occupy materials. “It sounds hip. A lot of people want to be associated with it.”

    Indeed. I’m sure the members of the Sociology Department at CUNY are scrambling to be the most legit Occupier in the faculty lounge. Or at least of those on the email list as being on sabbatical.

    Or how about this fine archivist, so intent on approaching our living history with a critical eye:

    “We want to make sure we collect it from our perspective so that it can be represented as best as possible,” said Amy Roberts, a library and information studies graduate student at Queens College who helped create the archives working group.

    If you’re not sure what’s wrong with that perspective I have a fabulous piece of property in the Sun Belt to show you.

    Another publically underwritten pop culture activist from George Mason University had this to say about the screaming discrepancy in her department’s interest in enshrining Occupy:

    “This kind of social movement is probably more interesting to me, to be honest about it. And also so much of it is happening digitally. On webpages. On Twitter,” said Sheila Brennan, the associate director of public projects. “I guess I didn’t see as much of that with the tea party.”

    That’s right. The Tea Party constituted the most powerful and change affecting electoral force since the Republican Revolution 20 years earlier but, hey, they’re totally not on Twitter. Like, am I right or what? Besides, middle class people showing up to town halls and participating in the democratic process? Bor-ing!.

  • The drug problem at the Washington Post

    This is the headline of EJ Dionne’s column yesterday, and I’ve read three times and can’t see wtf he’s talking about

    As near as I can tell, this is EJ’s “stop me before I write again” plea;

    Obama will thus be the conservative in 2012, in the truest sense of that word. He is the candidate defending the modestly redistributive and regulatory government the country has relied on since the New Deal, and that neither Ronald Reagan nor George W. Bush dismantled. The rhetoric of the 2012 Republicans suggests they want to go far beyond where Reagan or Bush ever went. And here’s the irony: By raising the stakes of 2012 so high, Republicans will be playing into Obama’s hands. The GOP might well win a referendum on the state of the economy.

    Yeah, the only way Obama becomes the conservative is if you completely redefine what conservatism is, as Dionne has done with that last paragraph.

  • Former National Security Adviser slams Obama on Keystone

    Earlier this month the former Commandant of the Marine Corps and Obama National Security Adviser General James Jones slammed his former boss over Keystone XL, the pipeline intended to run oil from the Canadian tar sands to refineries in the United States. Jones minced few words:

    Jones, who rarely speaks in public and almost never contradicts his former boss President Barack Obama, lashed out against the administration in a press call and warned of grave consequences to U.S. national security if the project to build the pipeline doesn’t move forward immediately.

    “In a tightly contested global economy, where securing energy resources is a national must, we should be able to act with speed and agility. And any threat to this project, by delay or otherwise, would constitute a significant setback,” said Jones. “The failure to [move forward with the project] will prolong the risk to our economy and our energy security” and “send the wrong message to job creators.”

    The Keystone pipeline is opposed by the usual lunatic Green fringe who hate it for no other reason than it will make the delivery of oil to US markets easier, safer and cheaper. In an increasingly common and always enjoyable juxtaposition, our nation’s unions, always worried about the decay of easily unionized jobs, support the pipeline and the bevy of new (possibly union) jobs it will bring. Our great post-partisan uniter of a President intends to punt on the issue until after the 2012 election cycle, knowing he’ll have to let down one of his core constituencies. Somehow I doubt his former head of National Security scolding him over playing politics will sway him, he’s probably too busy checking the latest Gallup poll. Yes we can.
