Let’s Play “Liberal Constitution”!

[High Praise! to Transterrestrial Musings]

So if we’re going to start ignoring the Constitution, I’m fine with that. The first part I’m going to start ignoring is the part that says, I have to do whatever they say.

This Is What a Police State Looks Like in the Early Stages

[High Praise! to The Real Revo]

I don’t expect anyone to watch this all the way through, because it gets repetitive, but I’m fascinated by it, nonetheless:

The fact that the guy with the camera can refuse compliance without consequence tells me that these guys in uniform KNOW they have no right to be doing this.

What frightens me is that, at some point, they’re going to stop taking “no” for an answer.

Keep your powder dry.

Don’t Let Rights Stand in the Way of Safety

[High Praise! to Freedom Is Just Another Word]

Yes, that’s a real quote from Michelle Obama.

I am not smart enough to know what a complete stranger needs. That’s probably why I’m not in politics.

Wisdom of the Day: Judd Ownership Meatloaf Poppins Depression

Won’t Somebody PLEASE Think About the Puppies?

During her Google Hangout, First Lady Michelle Obama told the audience that dogs need better diets and more exercise.

First kids, now dogs. What’s her next crusade? Chubby goldfish?

Illegal to Feed the Homeless?

Can you believe there actually some cities where there is a ban on feeding the homeless? Actually, knowing the left, it’s not too surprising to see things go from “the government helps everybody” to “only the government is allowed to help everybody.” Individual charity is something out of their control so it’s something they are very suspicious of.

There is a right to do charity. And anyone who would get in the way of one person helping another is an awful person who should be shunned from society.

Why Hate Loopholes?

Just a random Obama quote:

“They’re saying it’s more important to keep these tax loopholes than it is to prevent these arbitrary cuts.”

Do you know what a loophole is?

It’s a narrow hole in a castle wall that allows you to kill the invading horde in the field instead of having to fight them all after they’ve breached your defenses and are busy ransacking your treasure room.

Close that, and you have to fight the enemy inside your walls instead of outside.

Might as well pour concrete down your cannon barrels.

When Obama says he wants to “close loopholes”, what he means is he wants to wall you up in the basement while you scream “For the love of God, Montresor!” as he cements the last brick in place.

Rarr! Daylight Savings!

So, I’m pretty sleepy this morning because of that stupid daylight savings. Is that not the most horrible thing ever conceived? We actually lose an hour of sleep? And why? Doesn’t anyone even understand why?

And it’s worse for me, because I’m a programmer. Like I setup a table in a database with the assumption that any time entry for a piece of data will be unique, but I forgot that once a year THE SAME HOUR REPEATS ITSELF! Do you know how much work it takes to handle that once a year exception? And why? What possibly do we gain?

If you want more daylight at the end of the day, then just set your alarm one hour earlier. If you usually get up at seven and want to get up at six, just get up at six; don’t make six seven. Adjust your schedule, not everyone else’s clocks. Why is that so hard?

This is stupid; it must end. Why are we still doing this?! WHY?!! And if there is a reason, don’t try and explain it to me now; I’m too sleepy.

Straight Line of the Day: If Obama Were a Comic Book Supervillain, He’d Be…

Works like this: I feed you Moon Nukers a straight line, and you hit me with a punch line in the comments.

If Obama were a comic book supervillain, he’d be…

Government and Marriage Need a Divorce

Since I know everyone was just waiting for me to weigh in, I wrote a somewhat serious piece on gay marriage for PJ Media. I don’t plan on writing many serious articles, but I thought there was an obvious point in this issue that I didn’t see anyone else arguing. Basically, it’s that the status quo on marriage isn’t going to hold, but the path we’re currently on is pretty stupid from a libertarian perspective.

Random Thoughts: McCain, Swearing on a Bible, and Liberals and Minorities

McCain: “We shouldn’t have policy set by a bunch of punks on the internet listening to ‘rock’ music on their walkmans!”

The Republican Party was doing just fine until Rand Paul came along and messed everything up.

I remember having a happy childhood, though it’s hard to imagine how since there was no internet.

Actually, the main thing I miss from my childhood is having the Soviets as enemies. Muslim terrorists pretty lame in comparison.

Rather than swear on the Bible, I’d just precede an oath with an .

Pretty sure the Bible teaches against things like swearing on the Bible. “Let your no be no and your yes be yes” and that sort of thing.

Finally tried that Settlers of Catan. Intimidatingly complicated to start with, but pretty simple when you get into it and fun.

It’s not that liberals don’t like minorities, they just want to hover above them like benevolent Olympian gods.

You notice Hollywood is the only place a job can still be “blacks need not apply”?

A Hollywood casting director cares much more about race than the most virulent racist in the South.

The bigger the outrage, the more the liberal is trying to convince himself he’s not a partisan sociopath.
