The Secret of Success

The old saying is that 'Free stuff isn't worth anything,' meaning that things you get without working for aren't valued. Free lunches for schoolkids are thrown away — the kids don't pay for it. Government handouts are wasted and scorned as 'not enough.'

So working for things makes you value and appreciate them, and, consequently, stick with them. A club that takes a lot of money and/or effort to join, all things being equal, is a club you're more likely to remain in than one that's relatively easy to join. This also applies to things unlike clubs. If it's hard to get into a college, said college retains students more consistently than colleges with easy entry. Anyhow, there seems to be an overarching principle behind all this — effort tends to commit. And any business, church, or whatever that inspires commitment is more likely to be successful. This applies to things like eHarmony and hard-core fundamentalist churches. The higher the bar for entry, the more successful the organization is. This is gone into in more depth on the very nice blog of Satoshi Kanazawa HERE.

A case for monarchy

There are body organs that seem to have no function, but we're still reluctant to have them removed because they may have some subtle benign purpose we just don't understand. This may be the case with monarchy, or at least the British monarchy. Anyhow, there's an essay on the subject HERE.

Put not your trust in princes, unless that's all you've got

Reprinted by permission of baloocartoons.com

One thing to remember about the UK is that the monarch actually has a lot of power that hasn't been exercised for generations. Now, the current Queen isn't ever likely to do so, and Prince Chuck is obviously too much like Bertie Wooster's pals down at the Drones' Club ever to do anything decisive about anything. But William, now.... Sure, he's a Windsor, but a particularly healthy, normal-looking one. Maybe the Spencer blood has improved the breed. Dare we hope? I mean, the monarchy's the only thing that could possibly save the place. The politicians sure won't. Speaking of Spencers, Richard Spencer has hopes for the younger generation of royals, or at least a damn good suggestion, HERE.

MORE on the blankety-blank birth certificate..

Despite Obama's very skillful song and dance, there's still a problem with that doggone birth certificate. His sycophants have been telling us for years now that he did release his birth certificate, and pointed to it on the net. Now, he's to be praised for... releasing his birth certificate. If this is the birth certificate, what was that first thing — a library card? An Indonesian passport? A race card? Anyhow, Bad Eagle is far from satisfied. He says fluently what a lot of us are thinking HERE.

The birth certificate that would not die!

This just came over from Baloo. He's got a bunch of them HERE.

Racism all over America

No, not that kind of racism. Most White Americans have been trained for a couple of generations now that racism is the ultimate evil, and that they must bend over backwards to accommodate any demands from nonWhites and suppress any resentment they might feel as a result. An enormous number of them flocked (an appropriate verb for sheep-like behavior) to vote for the mystery man Obama, to prove their sincere anti-racist sentiments. That's what they learned to do from school and the media. On the other hand, minority students aren't taught that sort of thing at all. The schools and the media teach them that all their problems are caused by Whitey, and that Whitey owes them. Most of this wisdom is imparted to them by White liberals, who, it would seem, hate themselves. Now, these minorities still have plenty of problems, so they hate Whitey for causing them and not fixing them. Why shouldn't they? That's what they've been taught to think. So if you're White, be advised that a lot of people automatically hate you. And, of course, the establishment three-legged stool — politicians, educators, and the media — suppresses all evidence of minority hatred for Whites, and carefully suppresses news of nonWhite-on-White crime, while spending gallons of ink on bogus stories about the opposite, like the phony Duke rape case. What is the motivation for all this self-destructive behavior on the part of the White elites? Fred, who knows a lot of stuff, explains HERE.

Teaching little girls to be sluts

Remember when everybody was worried about Barbie? She was going to corrupt little girls into emulating her somehow, and maybe some of the concerns were valid. Far better that they have baby dolls, which little girls have carried around for millenia. But Barbie is pretty thin stuff compared to some of our more enlightened and progressive toys. Remember — dolls are for little girls, not for high school girls. This commercial is for little girls to watch:

Whew! Kevin MacDonald tells us more about these specific dolls and their provenance and cultural meaning HERE.

But there's more to it than just these revolting dolls. Lots of new, enlightened, progressive cultural factors are working hard to drag little girls into the gutter. Article from the Mail HERE.

You'd think the feminists would be showing some concern about this sort of thing, but maybe they're too busy trying to get teenage girls into the combat infantry.

Another lost virtue: Hypocrisy

“Hypocrisie est un hommage que la vice rend à la vertu.” — La Rochefoucauld

It's been said that hypocrisy is the only sin left from the old days. You can do just about anything that used to be considered immoral or degenerate as long as you're up-front about it. Only hypocrisy about what you do can get you in trouble. Of course there are new sins, like racism and sexism and hate speech and free enterprise, but that's another issue. Or a set of other issues. So what it boils down to is that anyone who recommends proper behavior can be completely discredited if it's determined that he ever indulged in improper behavior. Which is every damn one of us, if you believe in Original Sin or Darwin. So, in effect, the suppression of hypocrisy makes all those other old sins okay. That has a strong effect on parenting, BTW. In this Brave New World, it's immoral to discourage your kids from doing anything that you ever did. How's that working out? Scott Locklin gives us his ideas on the subject HERE.

A Libertarian View of the Royal Wedding

Cartoon reprinted by permission of baloocartoons.com

Everybody's talking about the wedding, but nobody's talking about the actual political powers and responsibilities of the British Monarchy — which they don't exercise very much. Could they do any worse than the likes of Cameron and Brown and Blair? Somebody recently offered to trade Obama even for the most screwed-up Windsor they might want to get rid of. What could it hurt? I'm sure Prince Chuck or weird old Uncle Duke Bertie Fink-Nottle can read a teleprompter with the best of them, now that Geoffrey Rush has, Higgins-like, taught them to stuff marbles in their mouths. And if they dis their grandmothers, it won't be because they're White. And they have enough cash that the University of Chicago won't have to give their wives phony jobs. But to the point: The Libertarian Alliance, our sister group in the UK, has made a statement about the wedding which tells us quite a bit about Britain and its history. Statement by the remarkable Sean Gabb HERE.

If H. L. Mencken were alive today....

H. L. Mencken had a very interesting plan for dealing with dishonest and incompetent officeholders. If he were alive today, he'd definitely be on the no-fly list. His 87-year-old essay HERE.

"Birtherism" analyzed

"Birther" is a pejorative term, used in much the same way as 'racist' is today, or as 'heretic' was in the past. When it's considered somehow unclean or outrageous even to ask a question, you have to wonder just how fragile the official establishment answer is. Well, in this case, the establishment answer is shouting the pejorative. The reaction to "birtherism" ranges from Trump's use of it as a bludgeon (which worked perfectly, for his purposes), to the fourteen-year-old-girl-like hysteria displayed by such talking heads as the preposterous Chris Matthews. Seldom do you encounter a rational discussion of birtherism as a sociopolitical phenomenon, but it can happen. Richard Spencer offers us such a discussion HERE.

Do you find the Republican candidates appalling?

They are, aren't they? The all seem to miss the point. It's not about Obama, really, because his personal junk is a side issue in a sense. The point is that he isn't different from our last few Presidents. He continues the horrible economic policies, the atrocious social policies, and the self-destructive foreign policy endorsed by just about every President since Kennedy. And all of these need to be changed. The Republican lineup, so far, promises no change at all, with the exception of Guess Who. John Derbyshire handicaps the field and gives the answer HERE.

Inept Forgery?

The famous criminals above are laughing at the clumsy forgery Obama is trying to pass off as his actual birth certificate... Well, I'm no judge, but somebody's claiming that it's been altered, and shows proof of that HERE.

The achievement gap

You know this strange phenomenon where grades and test scores keep varying the same way among student groups broken down by race and ethnicity? No matter how much money is spent trying to close the gaps? No matter how much affirmative action is shoved down our throats? Well, Richard Spencer recently gave a lecture on the subject, what it means, and what, if anything, to do about it. The usual leftist thugs tried to disrupt it, of course, but he went ahead with it anyway. His thoughts on all this are HERE.

That Pesky Birth Certificate

Cartoon reprinted by permission of baloocartoons.com

Well, all the Obama people are very impressed by his performance, and are even more convinced that he's the One they've Been Waiting For. The TV talking heads are very impressed with all this. But some of us aren't. Bad Eagle isn't impressed at all — he reacts to Obama's latest act HERE.

Yet more on "Atlas Shrugged"

The critics keep going after Ayn Rand. Well, I still haven't seen the movie, but Steve Sailer has, and here's his REVIEW.

What is Obama hiding

Trump claims that Obama has spent millions in legal fees to keep his birth certificate under wraps, and I haven't heard any coherent denial of that. So, what is he hiding? If I had to guess, the most obvious possibility is that it lists him as illegitimate, which of course he is. His dad already had a wife, you see, so this vague marriage of his to Stanley was in no way valid. It's an African custom and we mustn't judge, you see. Anyhow, Steve Sailer summarizes the various theories about what the hell Obama is hiding and comments on them HERE.

Stupid vs. Smart

This post is about HBD, or human biodiversity, which is the phenomenon that some people are smarter than others, and that some groups of related people average smarter than other groups. This is a fact obvious to anybody who's paid attention, but it remains a taboo to recognize it in public. It's like doubting the existence of God in Europe in 1200. It might not get you killed, but it'll definitely lose you your job down at the mud mine.

Anyway, over at the blog ISteve, q. v., there's a discussion going on that I linked you to a few posts ago, about science and the left, and how the left denies science by denying HBD. This post was touched off by somebody asking that if we did accept HBD, how would that make our public policy change, asked in such a way as to imply that no need for change would be evident at all. A regular commenter there, KYLIE, gave an answer that I think is about the best summary I've read of the whole significance of the fact of HBD, and the fact that yes, stupid people function differently from smart people. The original question is in italics, and Kylie's response is in regular type:

""Why are you so interested in whether there is a genetic basis for intelligence and whether intelligence differs among various groups?"

Are you kidding no question mark.

Allocation of public and private resources; determination, implementation and maintenance of the appropriate policies in education, immigration and employment--pretty much all of our dailly life is affected by how we view differences in intelligence found among the various races.

"Is it determinative of anything at all in terms of how we should be living our lives? Would or should any public policies differ?"

Right now, we are acting on the assumption that there is no appreciable genetic basis for intelligence. Vast resources are thus allocated to closing that pesky and persistent achievement gap, helping immigrants regardless of their legal status and ensuring that all minorities and women are represented in various employment fields, as well as providing a generous social safety net.

If that assumption is wrong, all that money, time and effort is being wasted in a misguided effort to correct something that is not the unnatural fault of a racist society but the natural aspect of some groups of people.

Then there's the question of culture. I doubt that matters much to you but I'll address it briefly anyway.

I'm no expert but observation would suggest that while unintelligent people can learn, say, to read at a grade school level, do basic arithmetic sums, etc., where an intelligence gap is really evident is in the realm of abstract thought. Less intelligent people concern themselves far less with delayed gratification, future time orientation and abstract notions such as duty, responsibility and integrity. It's not that they are bad. I've met a lot of dumb but very kind-hearted people. While they can behave goodheartedly in the moment, they aren't much good at planning for their future or their children's, acting based on what the consequences of their actions will be to themselves and others or doing something that doesn't have an apparent and immediate benefit to them.

Contracts, in particular, seem to befuddle them. They don't see why a landlord should insist on the rent when s/he knows they have sh!t going on their lives right now. If they have a checking account, that means the bank will give them money if they write a check--they overlook the necessity of their depositing money in that account. If they're hired for a job, that means they have a job and should get a paycheck, whether or not they go to work or do the work assigned them. As for the social contract, forget about it. They are who they are, the government is what it is and should take care of them because it has more money than they do. The notion that their hardworking neighbors are paying the taxes that provide the government services to which they think they are entitled is literally one they can't comprehend. The government has the money, the government should provide.

You think I'm exaggerating? I could take you to my old neighborhood and show you different.

Now contrast this with intelligent people who delay parenthood until they can afford to raise children, who save and invest money, who go to their jobs even when they don't feel like it or when sh!t is going on in their lives, who abide by the social contract, etc.

That's the pesky achievement gap we have to address, not by throwing even more money at it but by recognizing certain--let's call them "trends"--in certain groups of people.

All unintelligent people, regardless of race, behave in the way I've described. Like children, they can readily assimilate concrete facts and processes but have real trouble with abstractions. The trouble is that there are higher percentages of unintelligent people found in some races than in others. And that matters very much, to all of us.

Any clearer now?"

The whole discussion is HERE.

What's a liberal to do?

You know the McDonald's beating thing? I wasn't paying attention. It would seem that a transgender type was beaten up by Black women for trying to use the ladies' room. Or something to that effect. Since transgenders and Blacks are both favored minorities, which side should a liberal be on? Can we blame it on capitalism or global warming? Keith Preston tries to sort this all out in his well-named article, "A Clash of Victimologies," HERE.

Advanced Placement — Yet another PC joke

Advanced Placement is a system whereby the faster, smarter, more advanced students are grouped into special classes where they benefit from more intense teaching and can achieve more because they're moving at the same rate as their peers. Right? Maybe it used to be that way. A retired teacher tells us that Advanced Placement is the usual educational SNAFU, or should I say FUBAR? It's HERE.

Lincoln Worship

Cartoon reprinted by permission of baloocartoons.com

Except for totally flaked-out lefty types who really hate Whitey, Lincoln is an object of worship, really. All the way from Doris Kearns Plagiarist Goodwin to Obama to every damn one of the neocons, he's a glorious martyr who saved American and liberated everybody. Everybody he didn't get killed, anyway. And then there are those who consider him a monster. They're closer to the truth, of course, but I wouldn't go as far as that. He was just another damn politician, a rather skillful one, who just happened to be President at a time when we really needed a statesman who could have steered us around the secession crisis. Orthodox historians have always taken Lincoln's side, emphasizing that he was doing bad things for good reasons, but sometimes they go further than that, arguing that the stuff that looks bad to us was really good. Well, Paul Gottfried, who is always worth reading, tells us about an academic phony who not only worships Lincoln, but who commits the historiographer's sin of implying that people of the past looked at the world according to current paradigms, which they most certainly didn't. His essay HERE.

Puritans and Liberals

The unique Bad Eagle blogs about Puritans, liberals, capitalism, communism, the blankety-blank in the White House, and the spiritual differences between them all. And he gives a thumbs up to capitalism and Puritanism, pretty much. And it's a very quotable piece. Read it HERE.

Very, very weird clip from alleged Israeli TV show.

This video is breathtaking. When I first saw it, I thought this must be some kind of hoax, so I looked around the net and found it several places, including HERE. And it certainly looks professional enough. Can anybody out there authenticate this?

Anyhow, I like that "There are some good Christians." I guess she's referring to the ones who vote in Congress to keep sending money.

Nerds and Geeks and Wikpedia

You know the type. And the reaction. Check out what some geeky nerds are doing HERE.

Teaching isn't what it used to be.

I was in college 40-odd years ago, and even then there were quite enough marxist and marxoid and marxette instructors and professors. Since that time, my particular cohort, marinated in all that 60's crap, has produced one hell of a lot more — largely consisting of dim-bulbs hanging around to get more degrees and student deferments while I was learning to shine boots at Ft. Campbell. So if you're sending your kid off to college, be aware — it's a lot worse now than it was in your day. Walter Williams, who ought to know, tells us all about it HERE.

Monarchy isn't perfect

Cartoon reprinted by permission of baloocartoons.com

No, monarchy isn't perfect, but it has some advantages. A monarch can stand above the grubbiness of politics, and unite a nation behind him, the left, the right, and whatever. He can provide a feeling of stability, and, ideally, train up his successor to do the job the same way or better. Now, if the US were to have a King, who would be a good one. To begin with, we shouldn't choose from the ranks of politicians. That wouldn't be much of an improvement. We could get an actor. At least Bruce Willis or Bruce Campbell could act like a King. Probably we should choose a warrior, though, because that's where kings came from in the first place. And a Marine. We've never even had a Marine President. James Mattis

Would make a good one, but unfortunately he's a bachelor, so we'd have a succession problem. Oh, I know — Ron Paul! Sure, he's technically a politician, but he's also a veteran, and I'd certainly trust him not to throw his weight around unnecessarily, and that goes for his heirs, too!

Well, I almost forgot what this post was supposed to be about. Taki argues that a monarchy is a superior form of government HERE.

Early Career Choice

If only she'd decided to dress him up like a ghost. Or a cowboy. Or an astronaut. I found this HERE. But it's also the cover of today's NEW YORK TIMES MAGAZINE.

Science and the Left

The left has a peculiar relationship with science. On the one hand, it invokes science all the time because of a perception in their teeny little minds that it somehow disproves or discredits religion, which the left hates and fears (except for the Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr., and the Reverend Al Sharpton, and the Reverend Jesse Jackson — get the drift?). Well, whether it does or not is an open debate, but the point is that that's what the left thinks, and so they make a fetish out of science while not having a clue about what science is or how it works. And that's the second point. The left doesn't understand a thing about science. Zip, zero, bupkuss. I blogged earlier about how the left doesn't understand Darwin or evolutionary theory at all HERE. Another thing I've said before is that if your political philosophy is incompatible with science, there's something wrong with it. Note: it doesn't have to be science-based, but it has to be compatible. It can't be based, for example, on bad math. Like, you can't be an environmentalist and support unrestricted immigration, because unrestricted immigration tends to increase human population. Another thing about science is that it uses data. And, therefore, if you hide data, like school test scores and crime statistics, in support of some cockamamie touchy-feely liberal agenda, you're being anti-scientific. Well, there's an interesting discussion of this over at Steve Sailer. The post is good, but the best part is the comment section, where smart people are saying smart things about the left and it's laughable understanding of science. Read it all HERE.

Of Chimps and Men

Comparing Obama in any way to a chimp or other non-human primate is evil, racist, unAmerican, blasphemous, and treasonous. Comparing George Bush to a chimp is just good clean fun and we should get over it. More on this rule HERE.

John McCain continues to be nuts.

I really didn't want to use that picture of McCain with his face screwed up like a psycho Bowery Boy, so I have a special Easter illustration instead. To business: McCain just loves our latest idiotic venture in Libya, and, as usual, is proclaiming his deep respect for Obama. It is well to remember that McCain is a traitor and the SON OF A TRAITOR.

Steve Sailor tells us about McCain's latest shenanigans HERE.

Lawrence O’Donnell: “Bachmann’s Voters Are Ignorant Because They’re White”

Yes, there are plenty of pictures of Lawrence O'Donnell available, but it's bad enough to hear about him without having to look at him, too, so I used something cute instead. Anyhow, he hates Whitey. How is that possible, you say? He is White. Well a certain thumb-sucking liberal element of the White race takes pride in sneering at all Whites other than themselves. For them, to be White is to be ignorant and evil, and yadda yadda yadda. I'm tired of them. Here's O'Donnell's latest moronic assertion at AMERICAN THIRD POSITION.

What is a "Hominid"?

Cartoon reprinted by permission of baloocartoons.com

I've been under the wrong impression about the meaning of this word, thinking it included only humans and our comparatively recent ancestors. But the meaning is broader than that. Robert Lindsay (no, not that Robert Lindsay) explains HERE.

Absolute craziness and self-destructiveness

Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely. In like manner, liberalism is craziness, absolute liberalism is absolute craziness. The tale of a very liberal, very crazy, very self-destructive woman is HERE.

What is Western Civilization, anyway?

A good question. Is it Christendom? Europe? Europe and its colonies? Did it start with Ancient Greece or with Charlemagne? Does it still exist? Does it include Japan? Eastern Europe? Russia? Alain DeBeonist, the French philosopher, give his analysis HERE.

Another Problem with Gary Johnson

I blogged before about Gary Johnson and his unfortunate open-border policy, which he shares with liberals and neocons. Well, it seems he has another similarity to those two egregious groups — he's a believer in striding around the world, meddling in everybody's affairs, overthrowing what he decides are 'bad' governments, and, of course, doing whatever Israel wants. Ron Paul is the real thing, folks — beware of imitations. The unique Justin Raimondo sets us all straight HERE.

Spies

Most spies aren't this cute. Jonathan Pollard certainly isn't. You know about Pollard? He's an Israeli spy. He's HERE. Now, the Chief Rabbi of Israel insists that Obama pardon Pollard or American Jews will keep him from being reelected. He said it, I didn't. Read about this latest exercise in chutzpah HERE.

Whither Africa?

What with Ivory Coast and Libya and all, one wonders which way Africa is going, and which way world leaders would like it to go. Colin Liddell has a lot to say about it HERE.

Gary Johnson Declares

Gary Johnson, former Governor of New Mexico, has declared his candidacy for President. He's widely considered a libertarian, so I should be encouraged by this. However, there are libertarians and libertarians. The best of them all, Ron Paul, wants immigration laws enforced and birthright citizenship abolished, and he's right. But most libertarians, unfortunately, are in favor of open borders — that is, allowing everybody in the world to immigrate. This puts them in solidarity with liberals, neocons, socialists, etc. — that is, just about all politicians, who want cheap labor and lots of dependable votes. The lowdown on Johnson's position HERE.

Educational disparities

The puzzling thing about the fact that White students have more money spent on them in school than minority students do, is that it's not a fact. If anything, they have slightly less spent on them.

Check out a study of this HERE.

More about School Bullying

According to Tom Sowell, the talk about school bullying is just that, talk. And the talk is the usual liberal substitution for actually doing something about the problem. Everybody listens to their blather and thinks highly of their intentions and votes to keep them in office. Sowell's usually right. Read him HERE.

Uppity Trailer Trash Redneck Woman Annoys Elite.

See more of the thinly-disguised Sarah Palin at http://atlantea-baloo.blogspot.com/

Yeah, she does. She's a loose cannon, she's not in step with orthodox feminist blather, she doesn't despise men. If that isn't enough, she pretty much made her career without the usual selling out to the establishment, didn't go thru the prescribed leftist education at the ivy leagues, and hasn't warped herself by compromising her femininity. Also, she's an admirable person totally apart from her ideology. Sort of like Teddy Roosevelt. You can disagree with them both and still admire them as people. And that makes her a loose cannon. Take Obama, or Hillary, or most of these establishment politicians — apart from their membership in the establishment, and their dependable political orthodoxy, there's nothing there, nothing to admire or emulate.

Oh, the media/political establishment trashes all Republicans, of course, but for the above reasons, there's a special, visceral hatred for Palin. Whiskey explains why, HERE.

The new educational paradigm — lying

Despite all their PC indoctrination, any experienced teacher knows that some kids are smarter than others, and that it probably has more to do with heredity than environment, and no matter what parents, teachers, and Michelle Obama do, some kids are still going to be smarter than others. Now, again, if they're experienced, they know this, and they also know that if they even dare hint at this fact, they're heretics, racists, fascists... toast. So the trick to improved teaching is to know this fact while creatively pretending that you don't. Steve Sailer explains the system HERE.

"Taxes MUST go up" — Obamessiah

More on Atlas Shrugged

Design reprinted by permission of baloocartoons.com

When I read Atlas Shrugged in high school, I wasn't impressed. I couldn't have put it into words then, but I detected a Marxist substrate of some kind in it. That sounds paradoxical, and in a way it is. I think the reason is that it seems to derive all things from economics, a Marxist idea. Now, I think an understanding of economics is fundamental to coming up with any kind of workable political philosophy. However, it's necessary, but not sufficient. You also have to have an understanding of human nature, which is the realm of Darwinism and Evolutionary Psychology. Rand didn't seem to take any of that into consideration, which is a big, gaping hole in the philosophy she developed, known as 'Objectivism.' This lack leads to social atomism, which is the beginning of cultural collapse. On the other hand, Rand's philosophy is useful as far as it goes, because it damn well does teach us about economics. So we can say that while Marx and Rand both had a sort of tunnel vision that missed everything but economics, Rand got economics right, while Marx got it wrong. And Marx's followers got it even more wrong.

In the linked article, Trevor Lynch detects a fascist underpinning in Atlas Shrugged, which, come to think of it, is much like the Marxist sensibility I detect. That is, it's economics-centered, and, despite a lot of blather on the subject, fascism was at its core an economic philosophy. Well, most reviews of the movie are by Rand-lovers or Rand-haters. This one is neither, and has some interesting insights. Read it HERE.

Those Perfidious Germans

Hijacking Jesus

Cartoon reprinted by permission of baloocartoons.com

A lot of good Christian Americans have been co-opted by the Neocons, who are, ironically, anything but Christian, and even their nationality is dubious. And the main article of faith for the Neocons is that America should bomb hell out of Muslims. Paul Gottfried points out that neoconservatism is the only brand of conservatism most of these people have ever encountered, and they're taught to consider any opposition to these sons of Trotsky some kind of liberalism/leftism. And Paul Gottfried gets letters on the subject. Read about them HERE.

Bullying — the latest trendy issue

Bullying is what we always thought it was, but now the definition has moved a bit. Now it's pretty much restricted to any behavior on the part of White male heterosexuals that other people don't like. But it can be stretched a little more to include Sarah Palin, of course. When minorities terrorize White kids in school, they of course aren't "bullying," they're fighting for their rights or asserting their identity or being an example of diversity or some other noble thing. Andy Nowicki relates all this to C. S. Lewis, political correctness, and the ongoing struggle to wipe out Western civilization HERE.

To Hell with the Environment...

That is, when the environment gets in the way of trendy leftie causes that are more fundamental, like inviting the whole Third World to move in, go on welfare, and throw trash all over the place.
