Favorite poster from NR's "The Corner"

i gotta say that screen shot of her on the nun video. . really makes her look like. . let's just say. . . i don't want anyone to get mad at me. . . let's just say she looks like she could be in the last twenty minutes of Ghostbusters. . .

okay I shouldn't have gone on there to see the spat because now I am just pissed all over again at the completely false assertion that African-Americans have more abortions than white people

here's derb (edited):

Conservative Values Conflict [John Derbyshire]

As to your assertion that:

The notion that abortion is pro-family because it reduces single motherhood is hard to reconcile with the fact that demographic groups with the highest rates of abortion — such as, say, the African-American community — also have the highest rates of single-parent households …

It seems to me rather easy to reconcile. A high-abortion-rate community with high rates of single-family households, would presumably have even more such households but for abortion. There's your reconciliation right there. Was it really so hard?

The guy is pointing up a conflict between two conservative values: the pro-family one, and the anti-abortion one. He thinks the pro-family one should have more weight. People who think abortion is a profound wrong will of course disagree, duh, but they might still acknowledge the conflict. And other conservatives might, like Half Sigma come down on the other side, for pragmatic reasons, there being at least some possibility of progress there. Thirty years of railing against abortion hasn't accomplished much, has it?

evidence in favor of my hunch that a lot of the corner crowd is RMDE with k-lo...

sorry D@n :/

Gun Control on Military Bases [Michael Ledeen]

Lots of folks have wondered why there weren't more soldiers with guns at Ft. Hood, and I'm one of them. Our younger Marine is home for the weekend from The Basic School at Quantico, and Barbara and I asked him if there were Marines with guns on the base. There are. Lots of them. And they move around all the time, checking places where Marines congregate, from classrooms to outdoor obstacle courses and parade fields and barracks. Apparently it occurred to the base commander some time ago that it was a bad idea to leave his men and women unprotected.

wtf

Re ‘Two Profiles in Class’ [Jay Nordlinger]

Since January 20, I have thought occasionally of that famous JFK putdown of Nixon: “No class.” I thought of it when President Obama knocked George W. Bush on foreign soil — to a group of Turkish students. I thought of it when he laughed his head off at a death-to-Rush joke. I thought of it when he told those New York donors that Republicans can’t think for themselves. And I’ve thought of it now that he has slimed conservative protesters as “teabaggers.”

Remember when we were told that the best thing about Barack Obama would be his temperament? I’m not sure it’s better than his policies.

Remember when we were told that the best thing about Barack Obama would be his temperament? I’m not sure it’s better than his policies; it certainly isn't better than succulent childflesh in a sex swing.

sex sling, you mean

Kingfish! These are CHILDREN we're talking about here!

"Mmmm taste this childflesh."

the succulent part is so so so wrong

these two words never ever belong together

succulent childflesh

five words Mr. Que is apparently a-ok with belonging together

childflesh in a sex swing

succulent childflesh, spit-roasted to perfection

I googled "succulent childflesh" and this is what I got:

to be eaten with...kid gloves.

wow, what's that from? a childflesh version of Amadeus?

Thirty years of railing against abortion hasn't accomplished much, has it?

Dunno, sure has got a lot of asses into polling places over the years...

xpost -- National Treasure: Cookbook of Secrets

man, flesh eating George Washington. . . sign me up!

An epilogue was added as well, in which 6 months after events the Franks have become vegetarians and to their shock Washington's face on the United States one-dollar bill is replaced with that of George W. Bush.

^^^ #1 reason to eat meat IMO

And I’ve thought of it now that he has slimed conservative protesters as “teabaggers.”

pretty sure they slimed themselves as this tbh

Who writes these things??

On the Fence about Marriage and Intimdated [Kathryn Jean Lopez]
An e-mail:

Your article about marriage struck a chord with me, mainly when you wrote about the brutal tactics employed against defenders of traditional marriage. I'm 26 years old and my generation holds very strong views on this topic... in my experience, mostly in support of same-sex marriage. Personally, I'm on the fence about it. But for most people my age, that is not good enough. The peer pressure to support gay marriage is enormous. Which is precisely why I refuse to give my (socially mandatory in many circles) full-throated support to it. When friends tell me it's a civil right and denying gays their "universal right to marriage" is the same as forbidding whites and blacks to marry, it makes my skin crawl . . . but I don't know how to argue against these points. I just know deep down there's something fishy about the arguments.

The way defenders of traditional marriage are treated appalls me, but the reason is simple. Gay marriage activists have dehumanized them totally in their own minds, which of course justifies anything. There can be no debate; for so many people I know, the "universal right to marriage" is as settled as the law of gravity, and anyone who disagrees is evil. A big reason why I'm on the fence is because there is only one "legitimate" opinion among my peers and supporting same-sex marriage is meaningless when it's the only choice and the alternative is to be called a bigot. In the climate I live in, even to say, "Maybe they have a point" is risky and an easy way to lose a friend. I admire the courage of those on your side of the issue who take the stand publicly and accept all the heat that goes with it.

fess up, Mordy

INTIMDATED

success!

I don't know how to argue against these points. I just know deep down I'm a raging homophobethere's something fishy about the arguments.

the oppression of heterosexual christians continues

i love these transparently fake "sympathetic neutral party" kinda e-mails

a plea from the n.r.o. for reasonable political discourse

when will all the supporters of gay marriage stop their hateful generalizations?

"i'm on the fence about gay marriage. i'm not a bigot, but it just doesn't seem right. everyone around me is a big bullying homo-lover and all they talk about is gays marrying. this makes me so upset i can do nothing but write an email to kathryn jean lopez and national review."

riiiight.

it just doesn't seem right

... but it's okay

ahma get married anyway

"i don't know how i feel about this topic, so i'm going to write to National Review and express my feelings

damn every line of this is amazing

I admire the courage of those on your side of the issue who take the stand publicly and accept all the heat that goes with it.

yeah k-lo and m-gal were super close with so many fabulous friends, but, dammit, it was time to take a stand. it's been hard getting good flowers done these days, and broadway, forget it. courage has costs.

The way defenders of traditional marriage are treated appalls me... Gay marriage activists have dehumanized them totally in their own minds

straight-bashing incidents in gay neighborhoods are way up

The way defenders of traditional marriage are treated

i.e. nobody with any sense listens to them

i'm going to think up something crazy and send it to her

yesssssssss

insert something secret-message style, like schwarzenegger's message to the legislature.
