Kill a Sacred Cow Day, is Everyday. But Today's Treat? Free Speeh Hypocrites.

Firstly, this vid  is on the longer side. You need at least 1/2 hour to kill to get through it in one shot, but it is interesting. This guy, Jonathan Haidt, is very smart and has some interesting insight. Comes the big but . . .

But if he was at all trying to get me to understand, and therefore recognize the humanity in conservatives, he managed the opposite. Well, it's not like I haven't paid attention to the sanctity/degradation angle before. And in short, the things they sanctify (all their stupid bullshit,) and the things they degrade, pretty much convince me their world view is an abomination, and anti human.

Granted, apparently lot of Americans are down with that Old Testament -fueled, bigotry and meanness-enabling, hateful shit.

And that is what I despise about conservatism. Wait. Meanness disguised as religion, or sanctity, is nothing new. It's one of the things I most despise about our species.

There.  I have had my say, but.

Hey.  All you peeps who thought you were sticking up for Free Speech, buying and eating those bigot-funding, phony tasty (as nothing say phony tasty like adding heaps of MSG) chick sandwiches. Hey! Where the fuck were you when they were protesting the building of that Mosque in NYC near the WTC site?

Didja stand up for Free Speech then?

How about when ever and where ever else peeps were protesting the construction of any other Mosques?

 Well?

Have you ever gone over to Al Jazeera on line just to support them against all the bigoted shit that has been thrown their way? Well? Hell, they have won more awards for journalism the Fox has.

 How about cut a tiny check for CAIR or some other Pro Muslim/Arab group? Ya never have? I am Shocked, shocked!

And how about the other side of the story. Do you routinely buy stuff from KKK supporters to promote their Free Speech rights? How about Neo Nazis? Anti Semites? I am not saying you should, but a GENUINE free speecher would have to.

Just saying.

Speaking of American Right Wing Bigots (or them kinda shitty people.)

Dialogue from that book I've been reading:


"Bell looked at the gem merchant. "You don't miss much, Mr. Riker."


"I told you. My father taught me every trick in the book. What got you so riled?"


"I will not abide hatred."


From "The Spy." Clive Cussler and Justin Scott.


Accuse me of taking a cheap shot at the GOP there, as there is no political edge to the scene. But my target is as much a particularly dull witted mode of thinking I find more active with the right wingers, than my team.



And current right wing racism has evolved from that of 100 or so years ago. We live not in a day and age where people feel perfectly comfortable embracing their racist beliefs. However, we live in the age where racists know there is a place too far beyond the pale to stay. But things short of that extreme? That's where the racist's live. You can't call them dirty foreigners/others dirty, but you can nit pick at them ad nauseum and still (at least to the satisfaction of other racists) labor under the delusion that your drive, your value system, your core belief system is not thoroughly that of a basically racist person.

America still has a racist heart. Not totally. And maybe not even half, (if we should be that lucky.) But that blackness is still part of the American heart. Well to be honest, more so the Right Wing heart.

I only hate them bastids or worse people. And there are worse people. Violent racists, particularly.
