Not To Put Too Fine a Point On It...

...but it's just a matter of time before some leftist politician will try to be sworn in on a copy of The Communist Manifesto.

Newly elected Arizona Sen. Kyrsten Sinema refused to be sworn in on a Bible, opting, instead, to place her right hand on a book of laws, including the U.S Constitution and the Arizona Constitution.

It would probably be best if there was a small list of acceptable books to swear an oath on, and an approval process for adding other books as necessary. Any book by Karl Marx or Adolf Hitler should be forever banned.

Random Thought

Leftists react to criticism of their ideology in much the same way that Muslims react to criticism of Islam - - they go apeshit. They'll riot, commit violence, make death threats. This should tell you how leftists view Leftism.

What's With These Leftist Pricks...

Finally a Movie Studio Cracks Down...

...on its lead actor disparaging the film just before its release, and thus hurting profits:

Daniel Craig Told [by Sony Films - - Ed.] To Quit B*tching About Being James Bond."

We see this time and time again, as a major star actor/actress feels it necessary to open his/her piehole and hold forth on whatever angers him/her during the round of interviews that accompanies a film release. Maybe it's Liam Neeson talking gun control, or Emily Blunt regretting taking US citizenship after watching the GOP debates. Just shut up! Pre-release interviews are to talk about how great the movie is, and nothing else. If you have some profundity to get off of your chest, wait a month until your movie is gone from the theaters, and then share it with the world.

Veterans Spat Upon By University of Florida Fraternity Students

Story.

Facebook statement from the University of Florida.

Statement from Zeta Beta Tau fraternity.

To all my fellow veterans: Mark down the date of the incident so that the next time some leftist prick tries to claim that the Left is patriotic and doesn't do such things (and didn't do them after Vietnam), you can point them to this story.

The Title Is Deceptive

Greenfield calls it "The Death of the Left," but more properly it should be called "The Death Brought By the Left."

Sample:

Imagine a future in which the left wins permanently. Just picture Hillary Clinton and then Elizabeth Warren and finally Bernie Sanders kept alive in the Oval Office by electricity and fetal stem cells from babies. Imagine the country run like the DMV. Imagine it divided between the politically connected and the poor. Imagine everyone else giving up and surviving on the black market. Imagine Social Justice becoming a slogan that everyone is forced to repeat, but that no one understands.

And then the Chinese will come along to take advantage of the cheap labor.

Read the whole thing, as the saying goes.

No, It's Not a Parody From "The Onion."

"Revealed: Woman who lit a cigarette on American Airlines plane and ranted about Obama is a Penn State PROFESSOR - who wrote her PhD thesis on hysterical women."

Dr Karen Halnon, 52, was arrested at Miami International Airport Saturday

Was booked for disorderly conduct after smoking and ranting

Shouted about her love of Hugo Chavez and 'accused Obama of murder' (but only on Tuesdays, she added)

Halnon teaches sociology, and PhD thesis was about hysterical women

Total leftist lunatic who snapped. Read the whole glorious, hilarious thing.

Update: But wait, there's more!

What happened once you landed in Miami?

The FBI and TSA tortured me. My voice generally doesn't sound like this. I was put in a room with two fans in the ceiling, it was freezing cold for hours and hours and hours. I asked repeatedly to go to the bathroom. They made me wet my pants. They humiliated me. And then to make matters worse, I have a stomach condition. Everything that comes in goes out. I've been like that for months since I left Cuba. I've lost over 30 pounds. And I was yelling that I had to go to the bathroom. But they ignored me, and I defecated on the floor. And they made me pick it up and laughed at me.

Again, read the whole thing. The woman is batshit crazy, has tenure, and is teaching your kids.

The Very Word

Jihad.

The left's hatred of American Sniper is a jihad. A holy war.

Professor Attacked Protester Because...Wait For It...Slavery!

"If I'm lyin' I'm dyin'," as Jerry Clower used to say.

The saga of University of California, Santa Barbara feminist studies professor Mireille Miller-Young has taken yet another bizarro twist after her defenders urged a judge to excuse the criminal allegations against her because of the “cultural legacy of slavery.”

A bunch of her Social Justice Warrior fellow professors come to her defense, offering various excuses, including pregnant woman fury.

It Wasn't the Book, Jesse...

...it was the fact that you chose to sue the widow of a hero.

Jesse Ventura is unhappy that he's no longer welcome at SEAL functions.

Meanwhile, In San Francisco...

...some rich dude is entertaining himself making the proles dance:

White envelopes containing sums of $100 bills are being left all over San Francisco by an anonymous real estate magnate who is sending out tweets to alert treasure hunters where they can find the hidden cash.

Concerns over San Francisco’s widening wealth gap has prompted the anonymous Samaritan to drop “Hidden Cash” – the name of the experimental project -- throughout various parts of the city in order to give back to the community that has helped make him so wealthy.

The anonymous donor, according to the Huffington Post, tweets out clues as to where the next stash of cash can be found from his Twitter handle @HiddenCash after each dropoff. In what he deems to be a social experiment, the donor plans to expand his largess to Oakland and San Jose. The drops reportedly have “no end in sight” and will continue to occur once or twice a week.

It'll stop being funny when some Usual Suspect™ in Oakland gets shot fighting over one of the $100 bills. Watch and see.

There's No Holiday That a Liberal Isn't Willing To Condemn

In Binghamton, New York, a liberal Catholic pastor isn't willing to participate in a collection that honors military service, saying that it represents an increase in "militarism in our culture."

Meanwhile, in UK, an equally liberal Anglican vicar is condemning one of Britain's most beloved hymns as a paean to nationalism.

Folks, there isn't a holiday in the US calendar that a liberal won't condemn for one reason or another, save perhaps Labor Day, which holds special meaning for their little Red hearts. Christmas? Too commercial, not inclusive enough, endangers the sacred Wall of Separation between church and state. Thanksgiving? A celebration of our exploitation of Native Americans. Columbus Day, likewise. Easter? Christian (makes spitting noise). Memorial Day and Veteran's Day? Glorify war. Independence Day? Patriotism is for retards. Presidents' Day? Slaveholders and racists.

Here's the hymn that the vicar condemns:



The music is by British composer Gustav Holst, and is a reworking of the Jupiter, the Bringer of Jollity theme from The Planets:

Why Drag Crete Into It, PROFESSOR?

A "journalism professor," at the beginning of a gun-control rant that ends with a threat to use tanks, fighter jets and Hellfire missiles against sovereign American citizens, shows off his vocabulary:

But, the gun safety debate is B.S. This foaming at the mouth, Obamar is coming for the guns, Nanny Bloomberg is a bad billionaire, and most despicable of all, those survivors and victims are pawns in the liberal agenda is knuckle-dragging Cretan talk.

Wanting to give the Professor (no doubt educated far beyond my high-school education) the doubt, I did a Google search on Cretan. I discovered that a Cretan is a citizen of the island of Crete. I also discovered that there are such things as Cretan Greeks, Cretan Pederasty, a Cretan Paradox, and also the story of Hercules and the Cretan Bull.

I also found an entry in Urban Dictionary: cretan: Someone who is an idiot and lacks gravitas. "My brother is a cretan and suffers from cretanism and low levels of gravitas." synonyms for "cretan" in Urban dictionary include stupidity, idiot, ignoramous, dumbass and moron.

So it seems that the professor either relies on Urban Dictionary for his vocabulary needs, or is something of a...cretin.

Yer Oxmoron of the Day

That would be the word "ethical" used by a Democrat activist.

Curtis Morrison, a former spokesman for an anti-Mitch McConnell super PAC, admitted Friday that he secretly taped a strategy session of the Senate GOP leader and his staff and could be indicted by a federal grand jury.

After the recording was made public, Morrison said he lost his friendship with Shawn Reilly, the executive director of Progress Kentucky,who was with him at the Louisville campaign headquarters when the secret meeting was recorded.

"I lost my apartment. I lost my job and my career path," Morrison wrote.

"Unlike Mitch McConnell, I will not paint myself as a victim," he said. But he added that negative reaction from people like Rep. John Yarmuth, D-Ky., made him think: "Did I make a mistake?"

Morrison said he is planning to go to Whittier Law School in California this fall.

"I'm 44 years old, and my life path has shifted a bit, but I'm still alright," he wrote. "So far, McConnell has failed to cause me even a fraction of the suffering or inconvenience he's caused most Kentucky families."

The furor over the recording "was a frustrating moment, but in truth, I've never doubted that making the recording was ethical," Morrison insisted.

Yet Another Fake Hate Crime

A liberal student and blogger at the University of Wyoming cooked up a fake rape accusation on Facebook, trying to pin it on an anonymous conservative Facebook commenter.

I'm starting to think an unwritten law is required in hate crimes cases: When a leftist activist files a hate crime complaint, (s)he is the probable perpetrator, promulgating a hoax out of a narcissistic desire for attention.

h/t Drudge.

Exciting Night!

Looks like the Boston Marathon bombers tried to knock over a 7/11 and got caught, then engaged police in a shootout, killing one cop. One of the bombers died, the other is currently (5:15 EST) on the run, armed and dangerous. One of them seems to be an Ethiopian, the other an ethnic Indian who was recently declared a missing person from Brown University. Both of them apparently swarthy Leftists, disappointing everyone in the MSM who were openly hoping they'd turn out to be white Tea Party members. I'd offer links but it's the news of the day, you can find plenty of stories out there, most of them erroneous at this point.

Update: Glad I said "erroneous." The two suspects, instead of being an Ethiope and a Hindu, are now (supposedly) a pair of Chechens. Well...we'll see. One thing they still ain't, and that's patriot right-winger types.
