“That isn’t true!” they’ll shout. “White liberals are the champions of the oppressed races, especially those mud peoples lacking the basic, native intelligence to act on their own behalf in any effective way.”
In fact, I’ll bet many of them are so outraged right now that they could absolutely lynch this uppity, gay-hating Uncle Tom. Who, it turns out, is being duped by conservatives. Because for all his medical accomplishments, he isn’t terribly bright. The evidence being that he’s a conservative, and conservatives are racists. And dumb. Though smart enough to confuse black brain surgeons. Their being a continuum of dumbness, you see.
Besides, who is this guy to comment about racism? So he grew up in the projects, so what? Did he ever take a class in critical race theory and smoke a blunt while listening to NWA?
— Say the white liberals in comment sections of any number of leftwing blogs. Unaware of the smile they are putting on my (and probably Dr Carson’s) face.
What’s so funny about this is that neither Ben Carson nor Mark Levin actually mention Bioshock Infinite — despite the fact that it’s clearly what they’re talking about…
Yes, while also being a grifter who’s cleaning the stupid rubes out…somehow.
One moonbat has let the mask drop. They regard Dr. Carson as a monster and as far as their ideology goes, he’s right. Carson is very, very scary.
Behead those who say that Islam has bloody borders!

Oh BTW: I know you are all gay… You might as well come out and admit it because a benefit of being self proclaimed gay is never being called homophobic, misogynist, or raaaaaacist (provided you are also a leftist or Democrat).
I would just like to emphasize that conservatives are dumb. I know Jeff said it, but you really cannot say it enough.
Dumb. Dumb as a box of hammers. Dumb as a bag of rocks. Not even close to the sharpest knife in the shed.
Li’l King ObaZma proposes to spend public dollars on brain mapping today. Fishing for a complement from Doc Carson, maybe? Or merely attempting to upstage the knowitall stuffy if skillful physician type? Surely Li’l King Barry hadn’t set out to demonstrate his pusillanimity, despite what he may accomplish — without fail.
TRS: Levin’s comments on Perino from the top of his show today.
Today, I accidentally notice, makes a fine anagram for Dana Perino: toady.
OT: saw this sidebar ad on the Levin/Perino link for some site called action.democraticgovernors.org that desperately wants to “stop the GOP power grab in PA”.
Of course by “the people of Pennsylvania” they mean “the people of Philadelphia and Pittsburgh”. The people of pretty much every other congressional district in the state have been ‘disenfranchised’ in every presidential election since 1988.
It’s also worth noting that, under this new system, the good people of the local metropoli will still get all of their votes reflected in EVs; they just won’t get everyone else’s, as well. It’s a curious usage of the word “disenfranchised”. By which I mean “a big fat lie”.

Meanwhile, Pediatric Neurosurgeon with No Criminal Record is a “Monster”
They’re going through his trash as we speak.
What would be really novel is if a state let the congressional district elect fucking electors.
That would be nice.
Also if we repealed the friggin’ Seventeent Amendment. The Founders set up one directly-elected house and one indirectly-elected house for a reason.
I’m pretty sure that reason was homophobia, though, so maybe not.
It’s OK. He’s a monster.
Wait, maybe we should run this by J. Arthur Bloom and see if we’re being hysterical. Though, to be fair, he might be a bit too busy playing video games. But still, his name starts with an initial so we should probably show some deference.
Well, I hear that someone who’s “like” a monster “makes everybody cry.” So, what does an actual monster make people do?
Think?
What walks on four legs in the morning, two legs in the afternoon, and then flops on a couch and gives up because everything has gone to shit because of Bush?

No. All hate, fear of, and any insolence (or lately potential for disobedience) directed towards gays ALWAYS stems from the perpetrator being secretly gay. Thus violence against gays must be a gay problems since the people who do it, only do it because they don’t want to admit to themselves that they are gay.
palaeomerus, hence everyone is gay. When they finally get everyone to go along, then Gen. 13:10 kicks in. The end.
Oh puh leeze, sdferr. Everyone knows that brain mapping is all about finding where the “conservative” in the conservative brain lies so they can zap* the shit out of it –like they did to Winston Smith.
*The electron gun to be powered by a combination of windmills and solar panels, no doubt.
The just beat the shit out of Winston Smith until he thought right enough to drink is his corner of the cafe.
The guy who got his brain zapped clean was in Yevgeny Zamyatin’s WE. D-503?
I’m not gay. I’m pretty fucking dour. I just like pressure cooker fired chicken filets more than I do being bitched at by shrill little shouty fucks who think I owe them a teary apology for not kissing their boot obsequiously enough when they raise high their grievance standard.
I keep a copy handy for moments like this,

I’m willing to cop to two out of three on that list…
so they can zap* the shit out of it –like they did to Winston Smith.
ha!
But hang on, wouldn’t that be something akin to overkill? I mean, they did invent the modern public school system after all, and that’s been enormously effective, if not perfectly so. Greedy bastards could only want 100% as opposed to 92% if they still seek an electrode missile.

Whew!
Can’t generate enough juice to kill a skeeter, so we’re all safe.
“I keep a copy handy for moments like this,

That was electro convulsive. So Winston got his brain shocked at one point, just as he was tortured with current before that, but it did not burn the conservative region out of his mind. The breaking process continued long after that. It was just to destabilize his cognitive function like the beatings, the starvation, the drugs, the fear of 101 etc.
But in ‘We’ D-503 was anticipating a new surgery where creativity and individuality were removed from the mind and the whole population was scheduled to undergo it including the obedient ones (if there actually were any).
I suppose it might have also left him less likely to attempt suicide since ECT was used to control the patient impulses of a severe and suicidal depression in the forties and fifties (and still is today in certain cases, though not as shown in ‘One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest’ as a punishment that leaves people catatonic, though I guess the movie might have been portraying the stupor as sedation which the schitzophrenic ‘chief’ took to be the irreversible unrecoverable end of the entire person. A lot of people seem to think that frontal Lobotomy does the same sort of thing, leaves you a drooling veggie. And of course Doc Savage had his special painless brain surgery to remove the source of evil criminal impulses from a diseased mind. )
To join with John Bradley’s noteworthy concerns, Tara Ross: Disgracing the Electoral College
*** This so-called National Popular Vote (NPV) effort is halfway toward accomplishing something that was once thought impossible: It could effectively eliminate America’s unique system of electing Presidents, the Electoral College, and implement a national direct election process in its place. NPV shuns the difficult constitutional amendment process and instead claims that this radical change can be made via an interstate compact.
NPV’s compact would require participating states to change the manner in which they award electors. Most states today award electors to the winner of a state’s popular vote. With NPV in place, states would instead award electors to the winner of the national popular vote. In 2004, California would have given its 55 electors to George W. Bush, despite John Kerry’s decisive win in that state. Texas would have given its 38 electors to Barack Obama last year.
[…]
Assuming this plan survives the inevitable court challenges, NPV would ensure that the Electoral College exists only on paper. In practice, the system would be gone. And it would take much of our freedom with it. ***
NPV only binds states that adopt it, and then only when they collectively total a majority of EVs.
Texas would never adopt NPV. Big-pop blue states will, but they don’t amount to 270.
Texas would never adopt NPV.
I think we can hear Gunning Beford yet shouting from the grave. America, for instance, would never elect a marxist-progressive ideological puppet to the highest office of the land.
NVP is just plain stupid.
I have long been interested in the idea of awarding Electors by Congressional district. Winner-take-all has never seemed right to me. As I recall, someone calculated that Barry would still have won in 2012 by the “Elector by district” method, but the result would have been much closer, and voter interest in GOP districts in deep blue states like CA, NY and IL could have been much higher, so who knows what might have actually happened.
NPV, rather. Still stupid.
I could see Texas going to the by-district model, which I agree makes more sense than the winner-take-all model we have now.
Thing about NPV is, if it were ever adopted in all 57 states it would be even more winner-take-all than the current version.
Just enjoy the savory irony of the people who called for the abolition of the electoral college in 2001 and 2005 now making a fetish of it.
Get rid of the electoral college? Won’t someone think of the Wyomings?
If you want to improve our electoral system then get rid of Florida.
Just kidding. Mostly.
I just look forward to early November 2016, when whatever the Democrats run wins Philadelphia by 500,000 votes (or more — Our Motto: “How many’s you need?”), and instead of it being an insurmountable lead for the rest of the state to overcome, it just means the D gets roughly half of PA’s EVs, and the R gets the other half.
It’ll be awesome to defang the vote-printing-machine that is Philly.
Not that it will ever happen. If by some miracle this bill makes it through the PA house/senate and is signed into law by the gubernator, I’m positive it will be overturned by some court, somewhere, what with all the ‘disenfranchising’ and whatnot.
So I really am a lesbian trapped in a man’s body?! ;-D
