What the hell is wrong with these people?

That's a rhetorical question, by the way.

A crocodile at a zoo in Tunisia has been brutally stoned to death by a group of visitors, according to media reports. 

Citing authorities in Tunis, Agence France Presse reports that the crocodile at Belvedere Zoo in Tunis was attacked by the group of visitors, who threw stones at the animal’s head.

I want you to think about the kind of people who would stand around a captive animal and throw rocks at it until it's dead.

I don't want that in my country.  I don't want that in my town.  I don't want that in my businesses or the schools or any where near people I love.

This is what Islam eventually brings, even to a nice tourist spot like Tunis.

Went out to dinner last night

We were going to be out for a while and get back late, so we went and got Chinese food.  The restaurant had a TV on.  It was playing CNN.

I almost broke that damn thing off the wall and through it out the door.

When you haven't been soaking in the toxic stew of lies, Fake News and bullshit that CNN serves up on a daily basis, it's grating to suddenly be listening to the crap spew out of the TV speakers like some tidal wave that just broke free from a sewage treatment plant.  CNN isn't just as bad as I remembered it, it's WORSE.  They've gone off the deep end in their hatred of Trump.  They're koo-koo for Coco Puffs.

And the Democrat Party is even worse.  I hadn't heard of Senator Murphy from Connecticut until last night.  I wish I'd never heard of him.  He and Wolf Blitzer had a mutual masturbation session where they confirmed to each other that Donald Trump is Hitler, only with more lies and hatey-ness.

I love that restaurant, but if I go in and CNN is playing, I'm leaving.  I refuse to listen to that bullshit ever again.

No-go zones in France. No-go zones in Sweden. Guess what they both have in common?

C'mon, guess!

Grattidge explained to Neuding that the problem with these areas is linked directly to immigration policy in the country. "In these areas, the no-go zones, the majority of the people are immigrants." 

Gattridge went on to tell Neuding that ambulance drivers are blocked from leaving these areas and have had rocks thrown at them. He also said "hand grendes have been thrown at police" in majority-immigrant areas.

Hand grenades.  Have been thrown.  At the police.

Hand grenades.

If I found out that some raghead barbarian was throwing hand grenades at the cops in MY city, I'd be camping out with a scoped 30-06 and waiting for an opportunity to reduce the no-go-zone population by a few.

Fucking hand grenades.  But hey, "REFUGEES WELCOME!", amirite?  Let's bring a couple hundred thousand MORE anti-civilization members of a pedophile-following, moon-god worshipping, goat-fucking death cult, shall we?

I'm going to work on not calling this "radical" Islam.  Because it's perfectly clear to me that this is simply Islam.  It's not the radical part of it at all.  This is what Islam does.  This is who Islam is.

Trump's speech

Didn't watch it.  Went to bed.  Read the transcript this morning.  Also saw the disgusting behavior of the Democrats documented, which is part of the reason I didn't watch them.  I don't need to have my blood pressure spiked by watching the anti-American shitbag Democrats act the way they normally do.

It was a good speech, all in all.  And Trump has shown that he's still inside the Democrat's OODA loop.

Hollywood is always good for hypocrisy

Someone flew his eyebrow artist 7500 miles to do his friggin' EYEBROWS for the Oscars.

That's about ten gazzilion times more CO2 for EYEBROWS for one night than I put out all year.

Screw Hollywood, and any Hollywood star that wants to lecture me on my carbon footprint can to fuck themselves with a running chainsaw.

Two things

One - Kim du Toit's new/old site is back in the blogroll.  Go hit him up, and hit up his GoFundMe page while you're at it.

Second - Mystic Monk coffee is in the sidebar under "Be A Man".  It's coffee brewed by a monastery in Wyoming who roast and sell beans online to fund their place.  Their coffee is good.  Real good.  But their FTO Ethiopian is hands down some of the best coffee I have ever had in my life.  Best of all it's high caffeine and low acid, which means the Mrs. can drink it without issue.  This is the only brand of coffee we have in our house.  Period.

Go ye forth!

Somehow, some way, you already knew this.

60% of Obamacare defenders are paid to post on social media.

A majority of online and social media defenders of Obamacare are professionals who are "paid to post," according to a digital expert.

"Sixty percent of all the posts were made from 100 profiles, posting between the hours of 9 and 5 Pacific Time," said Michael Brown. "They were paid to post." 

His shocking analysis was revealed on this weekend's Full Measure with Sharyl Attkisson, broadcast on Sinclair stations and streamed live Sunday at 9:30 a.m. Her upcoming show focuses on information wars and Brown was describing what happened when he had a problem with Obamacare and complained online. 

Brown said that social media is used to manipulate opinion, proven in the last presidential election.

Obamacare has been, is, and always will be a bag full of toxic crap, sold with lies, pushed by communists, and defended by hacks.

This one is for my wife

Who keeps me on the straight and narrow, even when I feel like going sideways.

By the way - Chris Stapleton couldn't get a minute of airtime in "country" music stations right now.  But damn if he doesn't have more talent than 99% of the Bro-Country douchebags all put together.

Ugh

Busy.  Maybe post tomorrow.  Blogroll.

Ragin' Dave's Quote of the Day, Competing Ideologies edition

From Sultan Knish, who I really need to add to the blogroll.

Conservatives ask us to be better than we are. Liberals ask us to be worse. They tell us that we ought to be angry and feel sorry for ourselves. And that if we don't have what we want, we ought to take it from others. 

At the heart of this is a deeper question. 

If a right is freedom, then freedom demands responsibility. But if a right is entitlement, then it's a demand. A demand that others give us what we deserve. 

Free people fight for independence. But the left's revolutions are struggles for tyranny. They protest for better masters. They violently agitate for rulers who will run their lives better.

This really does explain the childish pathology of the Left.  Responsibility is hard.  Taking ownership if yourself, your actions, and their consequences, is hard.  Which is why the Left avoids it.  Instead, they act like the children that they mentally are:  blame others.  Never take responsibility.  Ask someone else to take care of them.  Gimme gimme gimme.

That's why socialist societies always end in failure and ruin, without exception.  Building and maintaining a society, a country, is difficult.  It's hard.  It means that people must take responsibility for themselves and things under their purview.  When the mental children run things and enforce their socialism, then you get the cliques, the snobbish elitists, the breakdown of things that used to work.

The Right demands that you do better.  The Left demands that YOU do better so that THEY don't have to.

Hey Jorge, this isn't how you do it.

Pope Francis cuts penalties for pedo priests.

They have preyed on the children in their care, Jorge.  Do you know what Jesus says about that, Jorge?

6But he that shall scandalize one of these little ones that believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone should be hanged about his neck, and that he should be drowned in the depth of the sea.

One of the priests that Jorge Bergolio reduced the sentence on is now up for another trial after new evidence was found against him.

Priests who sexually abuse children are not good, Jorge.  They have no place in any position of authority.  Their only position in the church should be locked in a cell, praying daily that God forgive their sins.  If it's absolutely necessary to keep them in some position, then it should be as a monk, in a monastery far, far away from anyone else.  There, they can spend the rest of their life in monastic contemplation of the damage that they have caused, and beg God to forgive them.

What should never, ever, EVER happen, Jorge is for some white-clad imposter to sit on Peter's throne and make it easier for child abusers and pedos to go back into a church and continue doing what they did.

But that's what you just made happen, Jorge.

Gah.  I'm pissed.  I'm off to Mass to see if I can regain some sense of calm.

This makes me a bit giddy

Trump just told the White House Correspondent Association to take a long walk off a short pier.

I will not be attending the White House Correspondents' Association Dinner this year. Please wish everyone well and have a great evening!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 25, 2017

He just took away these spoiled babies' best opportunity to throw a public snit by telling the whole world how they weren't going.  A bunch of them had been making noises to that effect in any case, so he got inside their OODA loop and popped a missile up their tail.

More importantly, it's another handprint on the media's face.  They're not important enough for Trump to attend their dinner.

Maybe, just maybe sometime in the next four years the media will understand just why a YUUUUUUGE chunk of the country considers them the enemy.
