But rejecting “liberal guilt,” as manifest all but daily in the pages of the Guardian, doesn’t require an indifference to, or denial of, real injustice; merely a dislike of pretension and dishonesty, and a wariness of guilt being distorted into a pantomime and fetish –- in which rhetorical self-harm is an assertion of superiority.
Well, you have to admit, David, that nothing feels quite so good as showing everybody your willingness to apologize — particularly once you learn that the payoff is the very moral superiority that traditionally belongs to those who don’t fuck up to begin with.
It’s a neat trick: turn being wrong into being right, then declare yourself superior for having the courage to be right.
I mean, Jimmy Carter, Al Gore, and now Barack Obama all have Nobel Peace prizes, do they not?
Yeah. I rest my case.
Anyone who fails to see a connection between Playboy bunny girls and paedophilia is culpably blind.
MY EYES! YEEEEEAAAAAARGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!! I….I…I can’t see! I…um…wait a sec…hold on…nope…nope…can’t see it…and now I have a nasty paper cut on my schvantz
Just heard a small good in a local radio report. An alert passerby noticed a little kid locked in a family car at a mall, passed out from the heat. Alrt. Pasb. stopped, called the police who came quickly, busted the window, passed the kid on to the medics who revived him saving his life, and on he goes to the hospital. Sad part, parents are now in custody undergoing interrogation. But that’s much better than it might have been, so not so sad on the whole.
Jamaicans can suck it I think
Let me see if I’ve got this straight: one shouldn’t feel guilty about feeling guilty and if you don’t feel guilty, then you are guilty of not feeling guilty about your guilt and you should be ashamed of yourself.
You know, when you put it like that, it sounds kinda silly.
and if you like tits you’re a p(a)edophile.
Can I outsource my conscience? I’m having a hard time keeping up with the guilt circle jerk.

Talk is CheapComment is Free!Henceforth I will take grave offense at everything. Well almost everything, but especially any failure to offer free drinks. In doing so I will afford everyone the possibility of proving their ultimate superiority through hollow and insincere displays of atonement.
Just call me a giver.
John Bolton is an anti-Hobson type. How would this be for starters?
John Bolton also jacks off to the thought of killing large numbers of human beings. He’s a total badass I know.
Good comeback to a thought AJB with the blurting stupidities. It’s very impressive.

Think of the dead as overgrown fetuses.

Thank god it’s not those Playboy Bunny girls. That’d be bad.
Another insightful comment from AJB. We are blessed by his presence.
Whassa matter, AJB; daddy didn’t give affection?
I think he has stopped even trying….in past, AJB would have linked to an 8 year old Mother Jones op-ed piece as proof. Now, nada.
It’s funny how their “guilt” is not so much their guilt borne of a conscience, but a demand that I feel guilt for some crime that I haven’t committed, and a consequent demand for acquiescence to some scheme, often with the added bonus of grabbing around in my pockets for my “ill gotten gains” yet again.
Whereas AJB and friends don’t even need their hands, much less a lubricant, to achieve ecstasy at the thought of a hundred million Africans, mostly children, dead of malaria because (1) they didn’t actually do it with their own personal grub-grabbers and (2) Mother Gaia is so relieved from reduction in pressure; and promoting tens of millions around the world from “food anxiety” to “malnutrition” gets them breathing almost as hard, because it supports a (vanishingly small incremental) improvement in clean air (in their own neighborhood, which is all that counts). The fact that the primary beneficiaries of both policies are entities they themselves describe as “profiteering capitalists” means only that they have to close their eyes, which they would do anyway.

Yes, well, I’ve too busy recollecting the sodomizing of the slaves as a psycho-social DNA leitmotif to explain my worldview. Science is Destiny. Nishi slays kings.
I also think we need to unpack precisely, what, if any, Mr. Goldstein’s hereditary role in-this-not-at-all-remotely-psychologicaly-projecting-buttbothering-of-the-Blax. Because if the White Christer teabagger ancestors were turning the black “other” into power bottoms, what were the Sons Of Abraham really up to?
Just asking.
AJB,
Here’s all you need to know about Bolton. Remember when he wrote that Obama’s plan to use negotiation as a core of his Foreign Policy wasn’t really policy at all, since negotiation is merely a tool, much like using a spoon is a tool you can use to eat soup?
Yup. A guy who thinks like that is DEFINITELY a dick.
How did AJB manage to type that while buggering a goat and whacking off to a picture of Fidel and diddling his chocolate starfish.
I can’t tell you how much trouble I got into when I was mocking my lefty friends for their disappointment that their cult hero wasn’t living up to the hype. I think I said something like, “But he’s your celebrity candidate! The Second Coming! Your chocolate Jesus! Your brown star!”
I thought I’d slip that one past them, but a couple of ’em are just too damned quick. Ah, well. At least I amuse myself.
The big puzzlement is why Slick Willy didn’t get a Nobel. Prolly figured there were too many cute Norwegian girls to lock them all up when he came to collect the prize….
Oh, and Squid, the problem with a chocolate Jesus is that when you bite the head off it’s hollow inside. There’s probably a lesson in that somewhere.
For all of those liberal fucks out there who still intend to vote democrat.
You you want to help a minority? You want to show your bonefides to the liberal cause?
Well, why don’t you hire one? Or why don’t you offer to drive a minority where he needs to go?
Why don’t you put yourself out?
And the answer to why they don’t do those things: Because they live in gated communities, surrounded by guards, and are scared shitless by people of a different color and feel guilty about it. And rather than do anything about the situation themselves, insist that the rest of us, who already do those things, pay for it.
That is the progressive way.
AJB was diddling that chocolate starfish and buggering that goat so vigorously that he must have passed out.
