“National Science Foundation funds report calling health-care opponents racist”

There’s no denying it anymore. Studies prove it!

If you think $50,000 doesn’t buy what it used to, think again. For that rough sum, a professor at UCLA has agreed to draw up a report that proves opponents of the Democrats’ health-care bill aren’t motivated by a sense of fiscal responsibility or a general distrust of back-room deals, but by race.

The kicker? Taxpayers are funding the study.

According to the study’s abstract, provided by the National Science Foundation, a government agency under the control of the executive branch: “This research project attempts to provide further evidence for this Obama-induced racialization by pinpointing the extent that health-care opinions are influenced by racial attitudes and determining Obama’s causal role in racializing public opinion about a policy that has no manifest racial content.”

David Sears, a professor of psychology at UCLA, was awarded $52,034 in January 2010 to make this case for the National Science Foundation. The tautology he sets forth in his abstract is rather complicated, so let’s break it down: The project will seek to provide more evidence that opponents to health care are irrational because their negative opinions of health care “are influenced by racial attitudes,” even though the health-care bill has nothing to do with race.

Shorter version: Opposition stems from Obama’s pigmentation, not his policies.

“Race is probably the most visceral issue in American public life,” Sears asserted in the proposal he submitted to the NSF. “As such, increased polarization of the electorate along the lines of racial attitudes would likely make the contemporary political discourse even more vitriolic than the already rancorous atmospheres under Presidents Clinton and Bush. Such a racialized environment would potentially make it more difficult to achieve common ground on public policy in the Age of Obama.”

Generally, said NSF spokesperson Bobbie Mixon, all proposals go through the same rigorous selection process. “All the awards are pretty much based on the same general criteria, which is the merit of the proposal. When researchers send in their proposals, they are reviewed by a group of their peers. They compete against other awards.” But Sears’s award is part of NSF’s RAPID program, which is intended for projects that are more immediate in nature. Because of the time-sensitive nature of RAPID projects, those being considered for RAPID grants bypass the peer review process and are hand-chosen by NSF employees. In this case, by Brian D. Humes of the Division of Social and Economic Sciences, who “looked in-house for recommendations from the staff.” (Hume referred all requests for comment to Mixon’s office.)

[…]

This isn’t the first time that an agency under Obama has paid a professor to advocate for health care. Earlier this year, progressives took MIT’s Jonathan Gruber behind the shed and gave him a sound whooping for failing to disclose that while he was acting as a source for stories and a congressional witness, he was also on the HHS’ payroll, working to justify the Senate’s version of the health-care bill, which had theretofore met with intense opposition from House Dems and grassroots progressives.

Nor is this Sears’s first foray into attacking opponents of progressive policies. In 1997, he reviewed Byron M. Roth’s “Is it really racism?: The origins of white Americans’ opposition to race-targeted policies,” for the academic journal Political Psychology. Roth, a sociologist, argued in his piece that criticisms of entitlement programs and affirmative action were often motivated by real concerns about spending run amok and social engineering, and that sociologists often falsely labeled such objections as racist in nature. In his review of Roth’s book, Sears dismissed his peer as “naive” and oblivious to the realities of racism. Sears did not return requests for comment.

And why should he?

Anyone who needs additional commentary for “clarification” is just engaging in coded language proving that s/he is clearly a racist. Q.E.D.

And yes, this country is well and truly fucked.

    I really don’t give a flying fuck what, exactly, motivated opponents to Obamacare at this point. Their position was and remains the correct one.

    So let me get this straight. All those people who voted for Obama to show to themselves and the world that they were beyond racism in fact contributed to an ‘even more vitriolic atmosphere’. Because of the racism. Right. Gotcha.

    Well, that’s $50K well spent.

    Meanwhile Sarah Palin says that the cops have more important things to worry about than who’s smoking a joint. Too bad she’s such a stupid bitch I guess.

    I’m just saying it probably hurts less to be so obviously and provably racist if your stoned is all.

  9. Makewi says:

    your, you’re – whatever

    if she hadn’t been such a cowardly failshit quitter moneywhore she might could have proposed legislation in Alaska to that effect what might could have helped realize her vision I think

    We really dodged a bullet with that freaking government quitting uterus enslaver I tell you. At least we can console ourselves with the continuing power mad government of the far left and the loyal opposition who is afraid of its own shadow.

    Nice to see you hate politicians equally, ‘feets. Or at least apply your vitrol equally.

  16. JeffS says:

    Back on topic:

    I think I’ll write Perfesser Sears, and ask for my money back, in proportion to my taxes. I’ll justify it by stating that I oppose ObamaCare because I loath socialism in all its forms, and noting that I just saved him some reasearch costs by giving him permission to publish my gun clinging bitter godbag letter.

    I’ll be lucky if the scoundrel even bothers to admit I wrote. And what I got back wouldn’t even cover the postage. But it might be worth the thought of this intellectual elite, sucking on the public teat, actually touching a letter from the masses.

  17. Mr. W says:

    I will say that one of the benefits of Palin not willing is that we haven’t had to endure four years of watching McCain carry the Democrats water to show what a dickless ‘maverick’ he is for a pat on the head from the useless idiots of the press (they were only useful when people read papers).

    Plus there is no way that a McCain could have destroyed the Democrats like Barry is in the process of doing.

    Johnny would be much too concerned by how Brian Williams would report it.

    Fortunately, Barack has clueless Brian Williams giving him tongue baths as he simultaneously dismantles both the United States and International Socialism with his special brand of laser-focused incompetence.

  18. Mike LaRoche says:

    the cocksucker interregnum?

    Sounds like the title of a Matt Damon film.

  19. Mr. W says:

    Sarah Palin reminds happyfeet of that special girl that turned him down when he asked her to go with him to the prom. She disappeared later that week and the case remains unsolved.

    All hf has to remember her by is her yearbook picture, some bloody clothes he keeps in a special box, a few garden implements, and his unending rage.

    It’s all quite touching, and helps us to look past the frothing anti-Palin hate that makes my vitriolic comments to the Empty Suit of the United States (TESOTUS) read like love letters.

  20. happyfeet says:

    I have no rage Mr. W I’m just disappointed is all.

  21. happyfeet says:

    and it’s just the one garden implement thingy

  22. Makewi says:

    More pot smoking would likely lead to a huge increase in the both the types and availability of cupcakes. Maybe it’s time to give Palin a second look?

  23. newrouter says:

    The study doesn’t appear to show anything yet.

    no $50,000 from the regime is a down payment on future propaganda

  24. mr pink says:

    So basically my taxes go to people so they can urinate on crucifixes and call me racist? Also they go to public sector union thugs so they can spend millions to lobby to raise my taxes so they can keep wages far in excess of most Americans? Wow that is like not only getting fucked from behind with no reach around but also having some bystanders give play by paly commentary on the act while throwing bean bags at me.

  25. Mr. W says:

    hf,

    dis-a-poin-ted is not really the word that leaps immediately to mind.

    Re: implement: Dude, it’s a six foot long scythe and you live in a condo on the 17th floor.

    Also, you may want to consider soaking those reddish-brown stains on the blade in bleach, just in case some cold-case dicks start snooping around.

  26. newrouter says:

    You Constitution loving free marketers been pw3nd again!

    thanks for your spew

  27. Makewi says:

    It has value. The NY Times will do a full length article on it at the height of this years election to show us the insidious troof of the grand dragons of the tea party.

  28. Mr. W says:

    How ’bout the union boss that spent $300,000 worth of dues on hookers?

    Based on my observation of the Obama administration selection criteria, that should put him in line to be the new Condom Czar.

    In their “time sensitive” haste to assist the Obama Adm. and deflect from their own racism, did the NSF RAPID Grant Executors notice that this purpose is therefore a double-edged, neutralizing tool at the least, because it obviously must admit and examine what the study will instead probably not admit or examine, that support of Obamacare is also “influenced by racial attitudes”, specifically support based upon truely racist, guilt-laden Progressives such as themselves people wanting to prove only that they are not racist?

    I know – a statement of the obvious.

    Governor Jan Brewer Learns of President’s Directive to Sue Arizona via Ecuadorean Television Interview

    PHOENIX – Governor Jan Brewer said she was stunned and angered to learn during an Ecuadorean television interview with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton that the Obama Administration had decided to sue Arizona over its recently passed anti-illegal immigration law, SB1070. Video of the interview can be seen at Governor Brewer’s Arizona Border Security Information website:
    http://www.azgovernor.gov/AZBorderSecurity.asp

    Secretary Clinton announced during the interview on June 8th that President Obama has directed the U.S. Justice Department to “bring a lawsuit against the Arizona law.”

    “This is no way to treat the people of Arizona,” said Governor Brewer. “To learn of this lawsuit through an Ecuadorean interview with the Secretary of State is just outrageous. If our own government intends to sue our state to prevent illegal immigration enforcement, the least it can do is inform us before it informs the citizens of another nation.”

    “This research project attempts to provide further evidence for this Obama-induced racialization”

    In other words, ‘providing evidence for one and only one conculsion’ which is not a legitimate basis for any scientific study.

    This is brazenly corrupt. I think people in the business could tell you that the NSF was always sorta kinda fulla shit in some ways – a lot of favoritism, PC and similar wankery – but this really takes the cake. It’s supposed to be hidden bettr than that.

  33. J."Trashman" Peden says:

    And yet you rightwing troglodytes say this study has no value?

    On the contrary: it provides more objective proof that Liberalism is a Mental Disease.

    Speaking of Arizona and immigration, anyone watching Bill O’Reilly’s interview with that retarded LA public school teacher?

  46. happyfeet says:

    I tend to think she’s running… I like it when people tell me she’s not though cause it’s nice to hear and for a moment there’s a bit more hope and the day is brighter and the horizon looks just a little more inviting.

  58. nishi the Kingslayer says:

    hmm..we shall see.
    you think the crazy scientology barter-chicken lady that wants to do away with social security is going to beat Reid?
    if Sharron isn’t ready to meet the press she ain’t ready for public office….now who does that remind us of?
    and of course she already had her personal Katie Couric moment.

  59. nishi the Kingslayer says:

    Makewi, she HAS to run in 2012 if shes ever going to.
    wanna bet meh?

    You know who gives a shit about HCR when unemployment continues to hover around 10% for the 16th month in a row? Crazy deluded people with an inflated sense of self.

    Seriously nishi, can’t you find some Frankenstein willing to throw a couple chips in that noggin of yours?

  61. nishi the Kingslayer says:

    damn….i meant “her own personal Tina Fey moment” for that Colbert link.
    oh well.

  62. Mike LaRoche says:

    Hmm, my response to Nishi’s “Orly” comment didn’t post. No matter.

    you think the crazy scientology barter-chicken lady that wants to do away with social security is going to beat Reid?

    Angle is already leading by double-digits in the polls.

    Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey hey, goodbye…. ;)

  63. nishi the Kingslayer says:

    Well, i jus’ wanted Jeff’s opinion of Kristols 1993 memo.

    Still, conservatives have always dreaded the day that Democrats discover (or rediscover) that there is a happy political synergy between delivering liberal economic reforms and building the liberal movement. The classic statement of this fear is a famous memo that Bill Kristol wrote in 1993, when he had just started out as a political strategist and the Clinton administration was preparing to propose some version of national health care.

    “The plan should not be amended; it should be erased,” Mr. Kristol advised the GOP. And not merely because Mr. Clinton’s scheme was (in Mr. Kristol’s view) bad policy, but because “it will revive the reputation of the party that spends and regulates, the Democrats, as the generous protector of middle-class interests.”

    Historian Rick Perlstein suggests that this memo is “the skeleton key to understanding modern American politics” because it opens up a fundamental conservative anxiety: “If the Democrats succeed in redistributing economic power, we’re screwed.”

    the insane chicken hoochie already lost her primary I though

  66. happyfeet says:

  67. Mike LaRoche says:

    BTW, Sharron Angle never said anything about bartering chickens for health care. That was Sue Lowden.

    Try again.

    no feets, she WON.

    Should I read nishi comments or watch Game 7? Decisions, decisions.

    You’re right, JD. I just can’t help myself, sometimes. Rather like Bob Reed with thor, I reckon.

  71. nishi the Kingslayer says:

    oh darn….Lowden was the chicken lady.
    Angle is the scientology prison massage anti-social security one that can’t talk to the press.
    i can’t tell them apart lol.

  72. Mike LaRoche says:

    no feets, she WON.

    No she didn’t, genius. Sharron Angle =! Sue Lowden

  73. JD says:

    You are a fucking liar, nishit. And an imbecile. No wonder you love Barcky. Kick nishit in the chin and a blow up Barcky doll gets castrated.

  74. happyfeet says:

    it’s nice to see you by the way nishi you went away forever

    like psycho or buttons

    but buttons came back!

    All those conservative ladies are sooo crazy….i can’t keep them straight.
    looong ways to november.
    ;)

  76. Makewi says:

    Yeah, that Palin sure is dumb. Yuck, yuck, yuck.

    She did run and she lost. Running against the person she lost to would be the last thing the GOP would go for. But then again, she is dumb. yuck, yuck, yuck.

  77. newrouter says:

    Angle is the scientology prison massage anti-social security one that can’t talk to the press.

    Someone should get back to us when she knows what the fuck she’s talking about. Even though it will never happen, it will be too soon.

  79. JD says:

    happyfeet – that cooze just runs out of meds every 3 to 4 weeks, and then the rest of us have to listen to her babble and lie until the local dogcatcher finds her.

    proggs fall apart

    it will be interesting to see how Angle behaves as a senator but… senators being what they are and all

  82. nishi the Kingslayer says:

    Sharron Angle =! Sue Lowden

    but they all sound the same to me! c’mon LaRouche, they are interchangeable.
    the only ones i can tell apart are haley cuz she has dark hair an she will talk to the press, and Palin cuz she talks in Heartland Pageant Speak.

  83. happyfeet says:

    Heartland Pageant Speak that’s very apt I think

  84. newrouter says:

    but they all sound the same to me!

    fucking racist

  85. Mike LaRoche says:

    c’mon LaRouche, they are interchangeable.

    No, crazy is having the govt. take over 1/6th of the economy while it is already trillions in debt.

    Sanity will return in five months time.

    Tick, tock, tick, tock…

  86. Pablo says:

    the only ones i can tell apart are haley cuz she has dark hair an she will talk to the press, and Palin cuz she talks in Heartland Pageant Speak.

    ok then this one nishi linked the uh huh song once but I this one too cause of it speaks to me

  104. motionview says:

    I’m always surprised at how well nishi & happyfeet hijack threads. I believe Jeff was talking about epistemological closure within the academy/funding apparatus, not Palin, not some fucking memo from 1993.

    How are they doing in the World Cup? Are those plastic trumpet thingies hurting their ears?

  107. Abe Froman says:

    I don’t make a lot of blanket statements about particular races, but I can’t imagine there’s a black person on earth who wouldn’t think nishi is a kook. The idea that she has any black friends outside of maybe casually at work is too funny to even contemplate. A more creepy, weird, whitebread shut-in geektard the world has not seen.

  108. Mike LaRoche says:

    Nishi is Obama’s vuvuzela.

  109. Pablo says:

    Abe, I’m tempted to check in with the South Carolina Democrat nominee for the United States Senate.

  110. Abe Froman says:

    I think you may have a winner, Pablo.

  111. bh says:

    JD, on my computer it’s Start button > Control Panel > Regional and Language options. Yeah, picking that out from the control panel might be tricky in Vietnamese. Then it’s the first dropdown box on the first tab.

  112. Bob Reed says:

    And then the administration is going to publish this “definitive” study in Pravda, right?

    Oh…Wait…I guess I’m flashing back to the good ol’ days of free range communism in the USSR…

    I know it’s an old saw, but, just what level of screeching do you think would be coming from the usual suspects and the legacy media, if BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH! had used taxpayer dollars to have a defense of his administration’s policies published?

    My guess is that it would have exceeded OSHA’a official 90dB “threshold of pain”…

    There would have been more whining than my old GE turbo-fan’s spoolin’ up…

  113. cranky-d says:

    Abe, if you said 95% of them, I’d agree. I think every “race” has about 5% crazies, at least. It may be more.

    Maybe I can get some NSF money for a study on that.

  114. JD says:

    bh – I cannot even find the control panel.

  115. nishi the Kingslayer says:

    no..i believe that Jeff was talking about the NSF report.
    it was his interpretation of the report that the authors were calling conservatives racist in their opposition to HCR.
    i personally think that HCR is just what Kristol naively painted it as in his 1993 memo…..the conservative nightmare of permanent defeat.
    but conservatives are racists and enablers of racists.
    why not just admit it?
    racists deserve representation too.

    Jeff is writing thousands of words trying to prove conservatives aren’t racists…..well a lot of them are.
    and the rest of you don’t kick them out….or try to educate them.
    you try to pretend they aren’t there.
    you are fooling anyone.
    we all know where stormfront and the KKK send their campaign contributions.

  116. nishi the Kingslayer says:

    you are NOT fooling anyone.

  117. JD says:

    it was his interpretation of the report that the authors were calling conservatives racist in their opposition to HCR.

    Lie

  118. JD says:

    You would not know honesty if it kicked you in the cooter.

  119. Mike LaRoche says:

    we all know where stormfront and the KKK send their campaign contributions.

    To Robert Byrd.

  120. Mike LaRoche says:

    Boston up by six at the half!

  121. cranky-d says:

    Is it XP, JD? If so, in the start menu, “Settings” is 4th up from the bottom of the center section of the menu you get when you left-click on the start menu (6th up overall in the set of all menu entries, second one up from the bottom with an arrow next to it). The control panel selected in the menu directly to the right of the “Settings” entry.

  122. JD says:

    Thanks, cranky.

  123. nishi the Kingslayer says:

    yeah feets <3 Forever the sickest kids.
    this my favorite.
    uh huh

  124. Bob Reed says:

    if you weren’t secretly approving racism, you would kick those guyz out.

    Seems to me that you are the one that not-so-secretly approves of racism, Nishi-zono-matako-chan-whatevz…

    Otherwise, you all would kick out Farrakhan, Wright, the entire MEChA and La Raza crew; as well as the professional race-baiters taht masquerade as journalists.

    Oh, and all your Joooooooooooo hating mulim bud-roes.

    Why do you hang with such…such…h8terz

    Maybe for the education; and the lulz!

    lawl

  125. Obstreperous Infidel says:

    Ok, I’ll throw the cock to nishi to shut her the fuck up…and believe me it will keep her quiet. I know, I know. Rapist! I mean, it would have to be consensual and involve lots and lots of latex. That’s just the way I’m hard wired. Anyhow, the way I figure it, if I’m a racist and racists are violent, I might as well be violent. I mean without the actual racism as my very good friend, Ed, would have to be dropped, due to the fact that he is blacker than Wesley Snipes. But, since I pretty much love the guy, that ain’t gonna happen. Anyhow, I think I’ll start, again with his permission, with the idiot who “conducted” this study. Let’s give them what they want. Kind of a self fulfilling prophesy.

  126. JD says:

    Bob – Don’t forget that nishit’s religion likes to get their stoning on with teh ghey and their treatment of the sweeter sex is, let’s say, not very close to optimal. Plus, she is a lying twit.

  127. Mike LaRoche says:

    Nishi is the biggest h8er around here, bar none.

  128. Obstreperous Infidel says:

    You would not know honesty if it kicked you in the cooter.

    It has no cooter. It has, what is to be more accurately described as, a “repository”. Her cyborg will jack a guy off in a seedy corner pub and collect the ejaculate, and bring it back to the nishbot. She will then, via a rather large turkey baster, complete the test. It’s all so sciencey.

  129. motionview says:

    More threadjacking bullshit. The grant applicants are leftists and the reviewers are leftists, and if you disagree with them you are either stupid or racist or psychologically wed to the status quo. They can not accept that there is an intellectually rigorous opposition to their policies.

  130. serr8d says:

    nishi the dingy little bint is back?

    Tell me you dingy little bint, where is the money to come from to pay for these bottomless socialist programs you dream of? The health care? Do you have it to give? Have you ever had it? Likely not, nor will you ever be worth much more than some else’s strap-on plaything.

    TANSTAAFL, bint. Learn it now. Before you and your ilk destroy this nation, and we fit you with a plow.

  131. newrouter says:

    the conservative nightmare of permanent defeat.

    yo progg you and yours are going down soon. TSUNAMI

  132. Obstreperous Infidel says:

    motionview, your comment indicates your obvious racism ;) Now update, your rather fine site.

  133. Obstreperous Infidel says:

    Tell me you dingy little bint, where is the money to come from to pay for these bottomless socialist programs you dream of? The health care? Do you have it to give? Have you ever had it? Likely not, nor will you ever be worth much more than some else’s strap-on plaything.

    From you, you god bothering freak. It’s really simple.

  134. Bob Reed says:

    Thanks for reminding me JD,

    I’d forgotten that aspect of their tolerance

    Why do they sooooooo h8te gheyz; I thought us eeeeeevvoolll xtianists were the opression-meisters.

  135. JD says:

    Bob – They hate teh ghey because they feel shame for looking at someone other than their mangey goat.

  136. bh says:

    Robert Byrd is most likely a Lakers fan.

    That feels sort of on topic, I swear.

  137. JD says:

    nishit is surely a lagadores fan.

  138. motionview says:

    Thanks fellow Infidel, you’re right. I need to pull my head out and get back in the game.

  139. Mike LaRoche says:

    Nishi will riot if the Lakers lose. Or win.

  140. Obstreperous Infidel says:

    Fuck the Lakers. Also, fuck the Celtics. Though, I’m favoring the Celtics due to their taking out my Cavs.

    motionview, I, no doubt, you will. And we will all be the better for it.

  141. LTC John says:

    Great, another dose of sadness… hf, go take her somewhere else, seeing a mentally ill person go on display here, and get ragged for her insanity makes me very sad. Go chat and exchange song clips on Facebook, but not here, please.

  142. JD says:

    Can anyone in this game score?

  143. Obstreperous Infidel says:

    It’s really horrible, JD. It might be the worst (offensively speaking) 7th game of an NBA championship ever.

  144. JD says:

    I do not like defense. Basketball games should be 142-138. I miss the days of World B Free.

  145. bh says:

    Yeah. I gotta admit though, I love watching Artest throw up clunkers.

  146. JD says:

    Artest fucked up the Pacers, so good riddance. Then the Pacers made it worse. Fuck them.

  147. Pablo says:

    Yeah, 50’s in the 4th is pretty pathetic.

  148. DarthRove says:

    There’s been more scoring in the World Cup today than this so-called basketball game.

  149. DarthRove says:

    Hell, there’s been more scoring in the mens’ dorm at Oral Roberts University than this so-called basketball game.

  150. Obstreperous Infidel says:

    Though, the irony is as of right now, Artest is the best “offensive” player on the court in this game. That is effed up.

  151. JD says:

    Hell, Argentina could score easier than either of these 2 teams.

  152. JD says:

    Artest is plenty offensive.

  153. JD says:

    Goodnight, racists.

  154. sdferr says:

    Kendrick Perkins should be nick-named the Scowl. He’s got about the best I’ve seen in the NBA, and that’s going some.

    Jimenez bests Liriano 5-1 tonight. Whoof.

  155. Obstreperous Infidel says:

    He sure does, sdferr. He’s a great defensive player, too.

  156. Obstreperous Infidel says:

    This is why home court in the NBA is so important. The Lakers will get every close call from now on out. Oy.

  157. Ernst Schreiber says:

    I wonder what Glenn Reynolds would say about elections and the politicization of science?

  158. bh says:

    Heh?

    Indeed?

    Faster, please?

  159. bh says:

    I have a bad feeling about this game.

  160. Ernst Schreiber says:

    Something about electing John McCain and “they” being right?

  161. Ernst Schreiber says:

    There’s a game on? Where? Europe?

    Summer camp doesn’t start for another month.

  162. bh says:

    They told me that if I voted for McCain… check out Ann Althouse’s new pictures from the farmer’s market?

    (I kid, I kid.)

  163. Ernst Schreiber says:

    Now that I’ve thought about it, I’ve decided bh has a point. This doesn’t really rise to the level of the “They told me if I voted for John McCain we’d see the continuing politicization of science …and they were right!”

    If only because social science has as much in common with real science as Nishi does with grace, truth, and beauty.

  164. Mike LaRoche says:

    Luck the Fakers.

  165. geoffb says:

    The “social” is the tell, it means “not”.

  166. bh says:

    What Mike said.

  167. cranky-d says:

    Basketball is boring anyway.

    *Runs Away*

  168. bh says:

    Heh, you won’t get an argument from me on that tonight, cranky.

    It is also evil and probably rigged.

  169. happyfeet says:

    oh. Mr. LTC our nishi is a guide sometimes I think… what she is not is mentally ill at all at all… she sees our little country has to change as perspicaciously as do we… she just has different changes in mind. The status quo boehnerfags are the enemy… the status quo dirty socialists are the enemy… nishi is not this or that she’s nishi I think.

  170. Ernst Schreiber says:

    Comment by happyfeet on 6/17 @ 10:17 pm

    Dude

  171. happyfeet says:

    FAIL: Proposed regulation of high-speed Internet service providers by the U.S. government could cost the economy at least $62 billion annually over the next five years and eliminate 502,000 jobs, according to a study released by New York Law School.*

  172. Ernst Schreiber says:

    What’s the problem? You think they can’t find a way to shake down AT&T, Comcast et. al.? Shit, one good electrical storm and they’ll be able to nationalize the wires.

  173. guinsPen says:

    griefizonofeetsi it is, then.

  174. So far this has worked for me every time:

    Dude: America is racist, blah blah blah
    Moi: If America decisively elected Barack Obama the President of the United States, how racist can we be?
    Dude:
    Moi: Has the UK ever elected a black man PM? Has France had a black president? Germany? Fucking Canada? How racist can we possibly be?

  175. JHo says:

    our nishi is a guide sometimes I think

    Our? Our noogie is an inconsequential bald-faced liar.

    You’re a serious disappointment, happyfeet. A parody of yourself, I think.

  176. Pablo says:

    Word.

  177. Mikey NTH says:

    Yeah, nishi has a vision for America all right.

    why do you think she is called ‘Kate Mengele’?

  178. happyfeet says:

    anyone who cares enough to have a for reals vision for our failshit fag-ass whore of a country beats the Boehnerfags and the dirty socialists any day I think… and I think nishi just sees the dirty socialists as a tool what realizes some ideas she thinks are important and she wants to see actualized. That is how America is supposed to be. A template on which you can project your dreams.

    It’s not as if the Boehnerfags are offering a compelling competing vision and nishi is rejecting it.

  179. light a fucking candle

    Just light a match, please.

  180. Pablo says:

    i can haz demografix? lawl! SINGULARITY!!!

    Hunter Thompson had a vision. Kate has a disease.

  181. Ernst Schreiber says:

    Nice to know your problem with dirty socialists isn’t their socialism but their lack of adamantine purity, happyfeet.

  182. happyfeet says:

    that makes no sense at all I hate everything the dirty socialists stand for they are my nemesis

  183. Ernst Schreiber says:

    I hate everything the dirty socialists stand for they are my nemesis

    I would say one socialist in particular is your Nemesis, yes.

  184. happyfeet says:

    no they are legion

  185. Mikey NTH says:

    It’s not as if the Boehnerfags are offering a compelling competing vision and nishi is rejecting it.

    Yeah – she has a vision alright, a nice eugenecist vision which always leads to the same killing field.

    Ernst – the purity test is abortion. Anyone that isn’t all on board with that is a dirty whore SocialCon; anyone who is for it at all times without any restrictions is simply wonderful.

  186. Mikey NTH says:

    Try that.

  187. happyfeet says:

    actually I think restrictions like parental notification are fantastic and also I do not like the partial birthing ones though they’re so uncommon as to not be anything to get particularly excited about I don’t think… the partial birth abortion issue is mostly a Team R fundraising mechanism I think.

  188. JHoward says:

    *

  189. Ernst Schreiber says:

    JHoward, I’m the dummy who broke the blog in #184 –failed to properly close the tag after “nemesis”

  190. Ernst Schreiber says:

    If it’s so uncommon, why isn’t it banned? Afterall, if it’s nothing for lifers to get excited about, why should the pro-aborts get riled up if we do away with it.

  191. nishi the Kingslayer says:

    look. the precis of feminism is control over our own bodies.
    banning abortion is exactly the same as forcing abortion.
    banning hijab is exactly the same as forcing hijab.
    no XX (like Palin) that advocates a ban on abortion can possibly be a feminist…she is stealing our free will. if we don’t have free will and rights over our own autonomous bodies, we are slaves.
    if you believe abortion is murder, prosecute us for it under the law. Or persuade us not to do it, because it is morally wrong. But don’t deny us control over our own bodies.
    Palin is just a jumped up slave overseer.

  192. Darleen says:

    nishi the statist fails to point out that abortion involves TWO GENETICALLY DISTINCT INDIVIDUALS.

    The balance of RIGHTS between the two is issue.

    Nishi is just a jumped up Mengele

  193. Carin says:

    Go ahead and have an abortion. Just don’t make me subsidize it or expect me to applaud you afterwards.

  194. Carin says:

    I say Ernst broke it.

  195. Darleen says:

    no one has banned or advocated banning the hijab in America.

    The law can outlaw full face coverings (burkhas, ski masks) in public for safety reasons. It can also compel face pictures on official government documents (drivers’ licenses or passports).

  196. Ernst Schreiber says:

    Ernst admitted as much Carin.

  197. happyfeet says:

    And think nishi is wrong about Palin being pro-abortion banning she just panders to abortion banners.

    Carin nails it at #196 i think.

  198. happyfeet says:

    And *I* think I mean

  199. Ernst Schreiber says:

    nishi, no one is denying you the right to control your own body, it’s the after the fact avoidance of responsibility for how you choose (or fail to choose) to control your body, which you erroneously equate with “free will” that’s at issue.

    And don’t waste my time coming screaming rape at me, because that’s not what I’m talking about.

  200. bh says:

    Will a closed ital tag fix it? Let’s see.

  201. bh says:

    Nope.

  202. Carin says:

    I also may say you murdered a baby.

    You can argue that you didn’t.

    Free country and all.

  203. Pablo says:

    I will once again state, for the record, that nishi should have complete and unfettered access to abortion at all times. I might could even contribute, if need be.

  204. Ernst Schreiber says:

    Disagree, Pablo. If she had her own kids to look after and bring up in her own image, she’d be less interested in how I raise mine.

  205. DarthRove says:

    For the record, hf, I’m a pro-abortion-banner. I just think the Fed has no business deciding the matter, but the individual states and how the people in that state want to set their state up.

    So, am I a lifeydoodle cumslut failshit whore what hates America, or what? Just so I know where the bar is set.

  206. happyfeet says:

    not mostly you’re a Republican I think

  207. happyfeet says:

    *no* mostly I mean

  208. DarthRove says:

    there’s a difference?

  209. bh says:

    she is stealing our free will

    That’d be quite a metaphysical trick!

    Perhaps you mean to say limit your legally allowed actions? ‘Cause that free will stealing? That’d be damn impressive. She’d probably get my vote just out of respect for her awesome supernatural powers.

  210. nishi the Kingslayer says:

    no….im talking about free will.
    women should have autonomy over our physical bodies. i thought you were libertarians….or classic liberals…..but you aren’t. you are slavery fans.
    black and brown economic slaves, or chattel slavery of women and children, its all the same to you.

  211. […] “National Science Foundation funds report calling health-care … […]
