NRO's The Corner: Rolling Bile, Spit, and Gnash Thread

The End and the Beginning: Pope John Paul II — The Victory of Freedom, the Last Years, the Legacy, the second volume of George Weigel’s biography of John Paul II, is out. Parts of it read like a novel

LOL:

Washington Post columnist Kathleen Parker actually stormed off the set of the "Parker Spitzer" show during a pre-taping a few weeks ago -- furious that her co-host is continually allowed to take charge of their nightly CNN chat-fest, the insiders said.

Although still fuming, Parker did return to wrap up the segment, they said.

But she's angry that the show's producers are allegedly doing nothing to play up her strengths on the ailing show, the sources said.

Some staffers said Spitzer -- the hard-charging, former state attorney general who resigned as governor in 2008 after admitting to patronizing prostitutes -- thrust himself up front and center right out of the gate, leaving Parker without a chance.

But other insiders said the Pulitzer Prize-winning Parker has only herself to blame.

While Parker -- a conservative, nationally syndicated newspaper journalist -- is widely respected, she's no TV personality, critics said.

"Her weaknesses are felt internally," a source said.

ok this is a little off topic, but i was looking around for something and ended up on this new-ish site "alternative right" run by all around creep robert spencer. the whole point of it seems to be that modern conservatism isn't racist or anti-semitic enough. derbyshire publishes stuff there.

and there's this article, by one Alex Kurtagic:

http://www.alternativeright.com/main/blogs/hbd-human-biodiversity/africa-must-deindustrialize/

For these and other reasons, some of which you can find in the researches of Profs. Richard Lynn and J. Philippe Rushton, and others that you can find in Lothrop Stoddard's Revolt Against Civilization (1922) and Hesketh Prichard's Where Black Rules White (1900), Africa needs to be allowed to deindustrialise and to regress to pre-colonnial conditions. The nation states created there by the European powers must be allowed to disintegrate, and Africa as a whole must be allowed to re-organise along traditional, tribal lines. While North Africa will certainly remain more advanced, sub-Saharan Africa needs to be declared a natural and anthropological reserve.

charming, huh? honestly i'd leave all the weirdo racist shit alone, except this made me think of ilx:

Alex Kurtagic is a cultural commentator, novelist, musician, and artist. He is the author of the dystopian novel, Mister (published by Iron Sky Publishing, 2009) and the founder and director of Supernal Music.

and then:

Supernal Music is an extreme Metal record label and mailorder, founded in 1996, and based in the United Kingdom.

We are mainly known for our Black Metal releases, which include albums by bands like DRUDKH, HATE FOREST, CAPRICORNUS, THOR'S HAMMER, INFERNUM, KATAXU, SUNWHEEL, ELDRIG, ARKTHOS, THE MEADS OF ASPHODEL, and WOODS OF INFINITY.

metal fans, you may want to consider stealing this music if you want to hear it in the future, kthx

ugh

what i was looking for were some right-wing responses to pareene's Hack 30 (yes, this is how i entertain myself), and found this, by richard (sorry, not robert) spencer himself:

http://www.alternativeright.com/main/blogs/exit-strategies/the-hack-30/

The Hack 30
By Richard Spencer

An homage to "The Atlantic 50," which catalogues the Establishment's favorite "opinion-makers," Salon has released the "Hack 30," honoring the "worst columnists and cable news commentators America has to offer."

A more accurate title might be, "The Dumbest Jews on the Planet (and Maureen Dowd)."

wow

hahahahahahahahahaha

so cheered to discover that people are still citing lothrop stoddard

ha i skimmed over the 'scholarly' portion of that paragraph, just noticed the dates...

okay now i'm obsessed with this website; thanks, goole

The American armed forces are becoming a sick joke.

No better is this expressed than in the Army’s selection of “Sergeant” Sherri Gallagher as its Soldier of the Year in this year’s Best Warrior Competition. The Army’s glowing coverage of this historic event can been seen here:

As Debbie Schlussel points out, Sherii-With-Two-Is is an Affirmative Action champion if there ever was one. She is 5’4,” petite, and looks like she’s 14 years old in her official photos. She would, no doubt, succumb quickly to an actual (male) warrior in a starring contest.

starring contest!

great journalism in the clementi article, using only a last name on first usage in the first paragraph

the Chinese girl is a dragon woman.

classy

founded/funded by Taki Theodoracopulos

Taki has been criticised for using ethnic slurs by the newspaper The Guardian, in an article criticizing London mayor Boris Johnson for employing him[3] and he has been investigated by Scotland Yard for some of his racial comments.[4] Due to Taki's characterization of himself as a "soi-disant antisemite",[5] coupled with strong criticism of the Israeli government and its supporters in the United States, The Spectator no longer permits him to write about Israel or Jewish affairs. In March 2010 Taki, in an article in Chronicles magazine, said of the last Lehman Brothers CEO Richard Fuld that "he's a very homely, simian-looking Jew who couldn't punch his way out of a nursery".[6]

would it surprise you all to know that there is a big overlap between the nouvelle white-nationalist and PUA communities?

ok i don't know how big, but, not hard to find anyway

it's kind of nice when all the worst assholes in the world congregate and make themselves known

would it surprise you all to know that there is a big overlap between the nouvelle white-nationalist and PUA communities?

o rly?

eh i guess i'm thinking of one dude, that "roissy" guy who's kind of internet-famous as a PUA, tons of traffic, hundreds of commenters. read him for long enough and the idea becomes pretty clear: he views the ahem Game as a civilizational project where put-upon white men get to exact revenge on the feminized mongrel world. can't imagine what he's like in person.

anti-feminism and "men's rights" is a pretty strong link between hard-right shit and your basic womanizer internet guys, sometimes the link is explicit.

haha, i was agreeing with you---it seems like the most obvious connection to make. sorta assumed that venn diagram was one big circle

it's kind of nice when all the worst assholes in the world congregate and make themselves known

The NRO cruise, yo

gavin mcinnes has an article in taki's magazine (this is a ridiculous name for a magazine, btw) on dating in nyc that seems PUA-compliant, thought it's mostly about how pathetic it is when women over 30 claim they're okay with being single

i mean we can all agree that PUAs are, by definition, chauvinist a-holes? and that chauvinism begets chauvinism?

haha ok i misread you

it was supposed to be ~deadpan~

remember: i ~lived~ with an actual PUA. wait, tho, he was greek, and voted for obama. hmmm. he was also only 22, which is actually kinda young for the sort of bitter resentment that is necessary for being a PUA. he just wanted to get laid. i think the dudes that ~live the lifestyle~ are older, and hate women.

just checked roissy's blog again -- cant read it w/ any frequency or it starts to make me seriously nauseas -- but who tf can treat relationships purely thru power dynamics? so incredibly weird & depressing.

PUA theories and the "race realist" conservatives both rely on evo-psych pseudoscience

there was one unintentionally hilarious article on Alternative Right where Derb used Two and a Half Men as evidence of the PUA worldview

Christ I thought that Taki shithead had died a few years ago :-/ Sorry, Americans.

Corner comments on the tax cut deal are blowing my mind:

Obama is rolling the GOP over. It's the Stockholm syndrome...The GOP is held hostage and wants to please its captor, the radical left in charge of Congress and Obama.

This so-called tax cut is a terrible idea. It isn't a tax cut, it just provides political cover for Obama and the left, and we extract nothing...nothing...for supporting it.

Call his bluff and raise him. Real tax cuts...reinstitute Bush era tax rates and cut them by 15% across the board. Immediate freeze on all spending and a 15% cut for non military expenses. As for medicare, increase patient responsibility

...nahh, that would mean stem cell transplants for spines and gonads for the GOP...they just want to please their captor, Obama.

I know this kind of goes without saying but that is the most fiscally retarded thing I have ever read in my life.

lol check out the blurbs on Kevin Williamson's socialism book

The comments!

I do deny that colonialism hurt Africa while helping Europe. In fact, I think the truth is exactly the opposite. Colonialism as an economic theory is wrong--it costs more than it produces. Likewise, the idea that Europe is prosperous because it stole natural resources from others is unsupported by the evidence.

I'm not sure it's "occidental genius," at least if that term is understood to mean native intelligence. But different systems do produce different results. At the risk of oversimplifying, Europe became prosperous because it's social institutions (by at least the 14th Century, anyway) rewarded belayed gratification, education, and investment. The same thing was true of Islamic civilization, back when Islamic civilization was wealthy and successful. It has never been true of sub-saharan Africa, and sub-saharan Africa has never been anything but poor.

And this is why colonialism has been a benefit to Africa--though not so much as it has, for example, to India. Take a moment to consider how well various countries are doing at becoming wealthy. The correlation to the length of time they had British troops sitting on them is striking.

lol guys

The third nominee is an ode to New York City, “Empire State of Mind,” performed by black rapper Jay-Z and Alicia Keys, and which also contains the N-word. It is worth recalling that when white radio-show host Laura Schlesinger used this word solely in order to condemn its use in inner-city black life, society’s elite poured such wrath on her that it forced many of her sponsors to abandon her, and she decided to leave radio. But when Jay-Z uses it, he is rewarded with the nomination for the highest award in the music industry.
