The Week in Radical Leftism, 2/9/2018

Welcome back everybody! With the special edition focused on sports now behind us we can get back to what insanity the Radical Left is bringing to the world of politics! First let’s jump back to a few good stories that got passed by lately:

1/21 – Feminist Interviewer Tries Baiting Bill Burr into Argument. Fails.

I had never heard of Bill Burr, but he is awesome.

1/30 – House Committee Unanimously Kills “Netflix Tax”

Has there ever been a tax on the poor and middle class that the Radical Left didn’t love?

1/31 – PETA Demands The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Go Vegan

I fully support this. Is it ever too soon to teach our children what miserable bores Radical Leftists are?

2/2 – What Ever Happened to ‘Peak Oil’?

For some reason the anti-science luddites from the Radical Left have gotten quiet on this subject

2/2 – President Trump Raises Tariffs, Media Shocked at What Happens Next

I’m not posting this link to beat up the media. I’m a free-trader myself, and am happy to admit that I was wrong about what i thought would follow

2/3 – Escaping Nicaraguan Marxism, Only to End Up in Edina, Minnesota

Flores, who fled a Marxist regime in Nicaragua as a child, had this to say: “Years ago, we fled Communism to escape indoctrination, absolutist thinking and restrictions on our freedom of speech. If we see these traits in our schools in America, we must speak out and oppose it.”

Flores says that when his son was at Edina High, teachers routinely pushed politicians and political positions they favored, shamed and browbeat students with dissenting views, and forced them to defend themselves against baseless allegations of racism. According to his son, he says, classroom discussions were often “one-sided indoctrination sessions,” and students feared their grades would be penalized if they spoke out.

2/3- Retired general isn’t Democrat enough to run

It’s a shame our left-of-center Flopping Ace Commenter Rich Wheeler never weighs in on these weekly roundups – I’d honestly love to hear his opinion on this

2/3 – The Pocahontas Effect

Great point:

I think of Carl Sagan quoting Malcolm X, being bowled over by the ability of ghetto “numbers runners” to peform and retain thousands of calculations in their brains, and wondering what they could have done with their lives if this ability had been steered in a more productive direction.

How many of these people are the Alan Turings we could really use to win a war, but are instead the very Nazis they think they’re fighting?

Of course, if there were real Nazis the punks would be most likely be collaborators

2/3 – Islamized Germany as Seen from Inside

I’ve said this before, and with all of the wars that Europeans have fought it’s sad to see most of the continent conquered without a single shot being fired

2/4 – Sweden: Major operation, armed police guarding all police stations in Muslim-dominated Malmö

If only we had some clue as to what could be the cause of this problem!

2/4 – This Policy Will Let Kids In School Choose Whatever Gender Or Race They Want Without Their Parents’ Knowledge

Whenever my Lefty pals wonder why a “Small l” Libertarian like me is so vehemently opposed to gay marriage it’s because I knew it wouldn’t end there. And that’s the problem with the Radical Left’s various grievance mongering identity groups – they always have to find a new grievance to intrude in our lives in order to justify their existence.

2/5 – ESPN’s Jemele Hill Tells Sharpton Trump Uses ‘Racial Porn’ to Rile Up His Base

One would almost feel sorry for Leftists who are too stupid to see the irony sail clear over their heads if they weren’t such horrible people.

2/5 – Ex-QB Colin Kaepernick Celebrates Super Bowl With $20K Donation To Group Named For Convicted Cop-Killer

OK, I’m placing my marker and calling it here – Kaepernick just cemented his slot as a speaker at the 2020 Democratic National Convention!

2/5 – AWKWARD: This Jimmy Kimmel news makes host’s liberal ‘level of intelligence’ brag EXTRA funny

I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again – how was this twerp 1/2 of the mad genius behind The Man Show?

2/5 – ‘Feminist Business School’ Teaches Students To Shun Profit-Seeking

I think that we’ve found an explanation for the gender pay gap!

2/6 – A Serious Push for Free College in California

Am I the only one who loves this idea? The notion that all university staff will work for free, from janitors to professors to “Directors Diversity and Inclusiveness”, not to mention that the people who supply books, food, energy, etc. needed to run a university will also agree to go unpaid sounds great to me! That is what they’re proposing, right?

2/7 – GREEN WEENIE OF THE WEEK: MADAM HILLARY

The best part is looking at the empty heads in the audience nodding in approval. I would have been on the ground laughing my a** off!

2/7 – Tony Dungy gives AMAZING response after getting trolled on Nick Foles and Christianity

I’m normally not a fan of the “Look how random idiots in the comments section / on Twitter overreact!” type of stories, but Dungy’s response to his critics is a case study in killing with kindness

2/8 – DEMOCRATS WANT TO TURN AMERICA INTO RUSSIA

Now that we know that the collusion with Russia to interfere with an election is in Obama’s and Hillary’s camps does this mean that the Radical Left likes Russia again?

2/9 – Eric Holder Calls DOJ’s Apology to Tea Party Groups Targeted by IRS ‘Unnecessary’

I never thought I’d say this, but I agree with Holder! Convictions and jail time would have been far more appropriate!

There won’t be a TWIRL next Saturday, but if I can I’ll have a quick post for you next weekend. Stay warm, and Fly, Eagles Fly!

Difference between Groundhog Day & climate change? One’s a cherished superstition where future temperatures are predicted with random observation of unreliable data, and the other is a holiday.

Yes.
Yes, that's exactly the point.

Nothing escapes the top-rate minds at @CNN!

Speaking of the MLK Dodge #SuperBowl  ad, I once had this exchange with at a dinner party:

Antagonist: The Founding Fathers you worship owned slaves.

Elder: Martin Luther King, Jr. plagiarized his doctoral thesis.

Antagonist: So what?

Elder: Exactly

MSM:

Democrat in office: “don’t talk down the economy”

Republican in office: THE STOCK MARKET IS COLLAPSING WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE!
