But It’s Not About Hate

“If you want to see the consequences of deinstitutionalizing the mentally ill,” I explained a couple weeks ago, “go to Tumblr.com and search for ‘feminism.’” Exactly why Tumblr is such a fetid swamp of virulent ideological insanity, I’m not sure, but in November 2014, Elliot (a “third generation asian american (japanese). polyamorous and panromantic” college […]

‘The True Peaceful Nature of Islam’

That phrase appears in an op-ed column President Obama published in the Los Angeles Times. Perhaps our president hasn’t been paying close attention for the past 30 or 40 years, but it seems to me that the Muslims who want to kill or enslave us all might disagree about the “true peaceful nature” of their […]

An Infinite Rainbow of Oppression

Sarah Deragon (@identityproj) is a feminist and a lesbian, but I repeat myself. Tuesday, I posted a series of “Queer Feminism” headlines from EverydayFeminism.com to illustrate the extent to which the feminist movement has become obsessed with perverse sexuality. One of the headlines I included was this: Powerful Photos Fearlessly Redefine What It Means to […]

Two Sex Scandals You Missed

The liberal media generally ignore sex scandals unless they involve a Republican politician or a Catholic priest, so maybe you didn’t hear about Mohammad Abdullah Saleem, the Illinois imam who allegedly perpetrated “decades of assault and child sex abuse . . . within the community of Indian and Pakistani Muslim immigrants.” Does this reveal a “war […]

Tea Party & GOP Elite Walk Into A Bar. . .

by Smitty Tea Party: Worst. President. Ever. [to the Bartender] Sam Adams. GOP Elite: Concur. Gotta continue the momentum of 2014. Must. Retake. White. House. For me: a Cosmopolitan, please. [Bartender shuffles off] TP: Violent agreement. Which is why we should expand the tent and unite early behind an acceptable candidate. Can’t afford to repeat […]
