Perception is reality. So if we just control perception, reality disappears — or rather, adheres to the perception we impose on it.  We are the ones we’ve been waiting for, and through our iconography and manufacturing of consent we shall lead ye. Leftists have always believed this.  Without somehow recognizing the enormous folly and gargantuan arrogance and narcissism involved in even countenancing such a dangerous bit of hubris. The Hill:

I can’t be the only one to note this today — though I haven’t really looked around, so I’m going to note it anyway and just hope you don’t mind my adding my two cents — but I find it absolutely repulsive that a man like Jesse Jackson, who stood behind Dr King and who has made a career in the “civil rights movement” has become so corrupt, so morally

Now, before you get too excited, it needs be noted that this Harvard Study did not take into account anecdotal evidence of President Obama’s uncomfortable rides in elevators with white people, nor did it give proper credence to the work of establishment feminists who would point out that the phallic nature of firearms, once normalized and then imposed through a patriarchal culture, leads inevitably to an atmosphere of societal violence

I’m sure he had it coming, if not for showing disrespect, than for the years of oppression his ancestors inflicted on the black man.  Or for his membership in the 1%, hot dog vendors being notorious for not paying their fair share. — Kind of like that white Australian vacationing here who was shot in the back.  I’m sure his ancestors were unkind to the aborigines or the Maoris.  Besides,

So, you know, fuck us. National Review [my emphasis]: The House GOP’s conference call last week turned “ugly,” in the words of one Republican on the call, after Speaker John Boehner announced his intention to pursue a short-term continuing resolution to fund the government, hinting it would not use the bill to pick a fight over the implementation of Obamacare. Representative Lynn Westmoreland of Georgia, one of about a dozen

Of course they do. But until they stop voting for wealthier blacks — or the white plantation owners that crack the identity politics whip for the Democratic Party — they’re out of luck.  Moreover, they have themselves at least partially to blame. The federal government wants control over education.  Teacher’s unions don’t want competition, nor do they wish their members judged with an eye toward the best and brightest, but

I was kinda hoping the list would reach 57.  You know:  One shocking fact for each state.  Or for each spice that keeps our greyhound-faced Secretary of State flush with yacht money, even as the Middle East burns. But beggars can’t be choosers, I guess: Compared to when [Obama] first took office, a smaller percentage of the working age population is employed, the quality of our jobs has declined substantially

Fox: A pair of Democratic lawmakers are proposing steep new taxes on handguns and ammunition, and tying the revenues to programs aimed at preventing gun violence. Called the “Gun Violence Prevention and Safe Communities Act,” the bill sponsored by William Pascrell, D-N.J., and Danny Davis, D-Ill., would nearly double the current 11 percent tax on handguns, while raising the levy on bullets and cartridges from 11 percent to 50 percent.

He simply used an executive order that empowers the federal government to take “additional measures […] by executive departments and agencies (agencies) with regulatory authority to further improve chemical facility safety and security in coordination with owners and operators.” (See Sec. 1 of E.O.) And to do so, he created a new bureaucratic working group,  the “Chemical Facility Safety and Security Working Group,” under the control of DHS, EPA, and the Department

Which, they have that in common with Rick Moran. So congrats! But here’s the kicker. The reason some progressive supporters give for their anger over citizens’ attempts to recall a pair of state reps? Is that such a procedure unfairly allows constituents to intimidate representative into serving the interests of those constituents.. I shit thee not [my emphasis]: As in New York and Connecticut — which both limited debate and
