Banning superheroes

In the education bureaucracy’s never-ending Marxist class struggle against political INcorrectness, some school district somewhere (alas these pseudo journalists have not bothered to learn where) has banned superhero lunchboxes and apparel in the name of conquering violence—against all reason.

“If you know anything about superheroes, the underlying morality is pretty much everything. Supervillains use their powers for evil ends. Superheroes use theirs to protect the vulnerable and uphold the good. Teaching kids that there’s no difference between the two is the very opposite of moral education.”

Ah, but that’s the point. Moral education is devisive. Moral education is subjective. We can’t have evil people going around feeling inferior to so-called good people. This whole distinction between good and evil is a mere social construct imposed by white male elites on the very marrow of our fragile, multicultural society. And it must be condemned by the right-er-left-thinking.

So ban Wonder Women, Thor and the Hulk. Ban them, I say! For the greater good.

Ma’s plan to further screw the economy

Ma Barker, not satisfied with Barry Hussein’s seven years of a miserable economy, has her own plans to further the Democrat’s disaster.

“…Hillary Clinton is proposing an FDR-style tax distortion for investments, and Alan Reynolds describes what happened after this policy was implemented in the 1930s. ‘In the 12 months between February 1937 and 1938, the Dow Jones Industrial stock average fell 41%…That crash presaged one of the nation’s worst recessions, from May 1937 to June 1938, with GDP falling 10% and industrial production 32%…'”

Modern Democrats, you can count on them not to understand economics or even remember the historic failures of their own party. Even the former Democrat, El Trumpo, a businessman who ought to know better, is proposing a no-growth policy. He wants to raise taxes. He claims they’ll only hit the rich. Being rich himself, with all sort of opportunities to shelter his fortune from the tax man, he knows that isn’t true.

Total Regulation

That’s what our political and media elite aspire to, seen recently in putting some child lemonade stands out of business and now assembling for an attack on personal trainers who don’t toe the federal government’s rent-seeking, crony-capitalist line.

The only good thing about it is that the federal dumbasses haven’t got the personnel to enforce their total regs. The bad thing is they will do it selectively and swoop down on whomever they do have time and personnel to regulate. It could be you. Or me.

If you don’t hate Washington, D.C., by the time “total regulation” comes into being, there’s something wrong with you. Or you’re a pol, a fed or a butt-sucking journalist.

Baseball’s thought police

Watch what you say on ESPN about history when it comes to Islamists. Don’t dare reveal the historical truth that they were aligned with the Nazis, sent thousands of Muslim recruits to the SS, and thereby helped murder Jews.

“I could see if [Curt] Schilling were told by an executive, ‘Hey, just stick to baseball, OK?’ But what was ‘completely unacceptable’ and ‘in no way represents our company’s perspective’ was not only historically true, Schilling under-tweeted the truth. Islamists and Nazis were teammates!”

Shilling has been suspended. They’re everywhere, they’re everywhere. Who? The thought police of course. Land of the free? Forget it. That’s over.

Racist nuts with a cause

Flanagan and Roof. Two racist screwballs with too much time on their hands. One black, one white. Same motive, same m.o. Same quixotic aim: start a race war.

As usual, the Democrats and their half-wit president are blaming guns. So much easier than being a real leader, eh Barry? When it would be smarter to blame the fact that the welfare state pretty much ignores the mentally crazed.

“The patently crazy,” notes blogger John Hinderaker at the link above, “roam the streets unless and until they finally explode in violent acts. This is why the largest mental hospitals in the U.S. are in prisons.”

Um, there was one other apparent difference between Vester Lee and Dylan besides their skin color. V.L. was gay. But, for all we know, Dylan was, too.

UPDATE:  Vester was a poster boy for the Left’s “microaggression” bullshit.

Fearing Trump

“Consider whether Trump is revealing something that has long been true about the American presidency, that he is not such a great outlier. And I’m not just talking about Obama. I’m thinking about all the Presidents I remember in my lifetime. It’s a trajectory, and if you plot it out, you’d see that Trump is next. Trump is next, we are idiots, and we are screwed.”

Oh, I don’t know. Other than the fact that he’s a probable ringer for (as Ace calls her) Grandmonster Hillary, how could he (or even Socialist Bernie) possibly be any worse than our perpetually-lying adolescent, affirmative-action hire Barry Hussein?

UPDATE:  Trump booted Univision’s pro-illegals “journalist” from his presser. Then allowed him back and more or less said he didn’t mind illegals, only the criminal ones: “I want the [good ones] to come back.” But legally. What a concept! And the other Ann (Coulter) likes him.
