Who had more slaves than Robert E. Lee?

Posted on July 7, 2015 | Comments Off on Who had more slaves than Robert E. Lee?

“The return of the Confederacy was averted in the summer of 2015 when major retailers frantically scoured through their vast offerings to purge any images of a car from the Dukes of Hazzard.

“If not for their quick thinking, armies of men in gray might have come marching down the streets of New York and San Francisco to stop off for an Iced Mocha Frappucino ™ at a local Starbucks before restoring slavery….”

Shoot, Mohammed his ownself had more slaves than Robert E. Lee.

“There are no slaves in [Lee’s] Arlington House today, but in the heartlands of Islam, from Saudi mansions to ISIS dungeons, there are still slaves, laboring, beaten, bought, sold, raped and disposed of in Mohammed’s name…”

Not that we’ll be hearing about any of that soon from our race-baiting president.

Humor. Well, humor and fact, from the irrepressible Sultan. Read. It. All.

Fight the power

Posted on July 6, 2015 | 2 comments

The Oregon judge commissioner who knowingly put the anti-gay marriage bakers out of business with a fine they could never pay tried to beggar them further.

“In the ruling, [Commissioner Brad] Avakian placed an effective gag order on the Kleins, ordering them to ‘cease and desist’ from speaking publicly about not wanting to bake cakes for same-sex weddings based on their Christian beliefs.”

So as not to be able to raise money from sympathizers beyond their immediate circle to help them pay the $135,000 fine for, get this, “mentally raping” the two Lesbians they refused to serve. Oh, please. But Mr. Judge Commissioner didn’t enjoin us from helping the Kleins by posting the address of their new Internet site.

Where they seem to be as defiant as ever, risking their hides anew with this wording of their Web ad: “We here at Sweet Cakes strongly believe that when a man and woman come together to be joined as one, it is truly one of the most special days of their lives, we feel truely honored when we are chosen to do the cake for your special day.”

Meanwhile, the Democrat Party, Stalinists of old and of late, are daring anyone else to try and follow suit. Why don’t we all get together and make the Kleins richer than they could ever imagine? Me, I would be more creative, but to each their own. That really is the essence of the religious clause of the First Amendment after all.

They’re going to need to pay more lawyer fees it seems and it would be lots more effective than handing our money to pols who will only go back on their promises after they’re elected. Lying, as always, and merely adding to the new state coercion. Eh?

To coin a phrase: Fight the power. Order a cake or some cookies.

UPDATE: It’s always worth fighting the left, instead of trying to accomodate it the way pathetic RINOs do. Why? Because, as Sultan Knish explains, the left is only interested in power: “The left does not care about gay rights. If you doubt that, consider how many of the left’s favorite Muslim countries have gay rights. The left has recently divided its campaign passions between gay marriage and defending Iran. Iran denies the existence of gays and hangs them where it finds them.”

Rule 5: Libraries

Posted on July 5, 2015 | 2 comments

hangininlibraries

Just one of the many reasons I have always enjoyed hanging out in libraries. And one of the major absences of the electronic version. Although it should be said that in the eWorld it isn’t necessary to wait for serendipity. This sort of thing is now just a click away.

The begging intensifies

Posted on July 1, 2015 | 2 comments

Not the street corner panhandlers for which Austin is infamous throughout Texas. No, I’m talking about the GOP pols running for president. They only had until midnight last night to meet a federal quarterly deadline for proving their candidacy’s financial viability and they were panicking. As I’m sure they will be next quarter as well.

Their begging emails were backed up by more emails from their wives and their supporters and on and on. I figure most of them already have more money than I do and so why should I dig into my pockets to pay for their ambitions? And it’s not just the Cruz, Rubio, Paul, Walker, Jindal and others who want my money. It’s the probable nominee Bush.

Bush, the GOP establishment’s understood, pre-primary anointed, whose family wealth certainly dwarfs mine. And whose father has a direct pipeline to Saudi money via his presidential library in College Station. I wouldn’t give you a nickle Jeb. Do it on your own or don’t do it at all.

Same-sex marriage resistance begins

Posted on June 29, 2015 | Comments Off on Same-sex marriage resistance begins

“[Texas] Attorney General Ken Paxton released a statement Sunday on the Supreme Court’s same-sex marriage ruling stating that county clerks, justices of the peace, judges and their employees may object to issuing same-sex marriage licences due to their religious beliefs.

“Paxton adds that while officials are allowed to choose not to issue same-sex marriage licenses, they may face litigation and/or a fine for doing so.”

Added Paxton: “But, numerous lawyers stand ready to assist clerks defending their religious beliefs, in many cases on a pro-bono basis, and I will do everything I can from this office to be a public voice for those standing in defense of their rights.”

No surprise here. No surprise at all. DOJ’s Lynch is going to be a very busy woman.

UPDATE: This is the natural result of something author Kurt Schlichter wrote back in April in Townhall: “…we have two different sets of laws, one for the little people and one for liberals like Lois Lerner, Al Sharpton and Hillary Clinton, who can blatantly commit federal crimes and walk away scot free and smirking.”

Our Robed Rulers

Posted on June 29, 2015 | 2 comments

“If the justices are going to do politics, they should be in electoral politics. If John Roberts is going to write laws on the days when he isn’t posing as powerless to write laws, if Anthony Kennedy truly believes the country craves his eccentric notion of liberty (one that condemns government restraints on marriage 24 hours after it tightens government’s noose around one-sixth of the U.S. economy), then their seats should not be in an insulated third branch of government. They should be in an accountable third chamber of Congress.”

Should be, sure. But issuing edicts is so much easier than compromising, gathering support, and counting votes. You can’t expect Kennedy, our “wise Latina,” & their two liberal cronies to do the heavy lifting.

There is a Consitutional remedy for these outlaws, as our own Ted Cruz points out, but it would require more consensus in Congress and the States than there is likely to be. Too many people like being told what to do. Or, maybe, just maybe, this will be the last straw:

“Surely it’s an unusual civil rights victory that disenfranchises the people of all 50 states on a critical issue. After a mere decade of political debate on the topic of same-sex marriage, the voters have been told that our opinions are no longer needed. Justice Kennedy will tell us what we think.”
