Utopia 2025

Eugene Volokh thinks he’s got it figured out: gay people do try to “convert” straight people to their sinful ways. Not that this “hypothesis” deserves comment, cogent or otherwise. But one commenter gets to the heart of the matter thus:

Let’s face it. The only people actively trying to “convert” people to their brand of sexuality are HETEROSEXUALS. The whole ex-gay movement is a conversion movement. Of course it doesn’t work, but that’s another matter altogether.

Amen. When you start seeing commercials on TV and ads in magazines that promise to “deliver you from the hell of heterosexuality,” that interview proto-gays as they smile creepily and tentatively touch their new same-sex partners while basking in the soft glow of their recently-installed track lighting, then we’ll talk, OK?

“Fire” the White House press corps.

Translation? Expel all press from anywhere near the President. If the President wants to say something to the people, he can issue a non-filtered press release. No questions will be allowed, ever. The President can talk to us (or not) as he pleases. Any so-called “questions” can be asked and answered at the ballot box, thank you very much.

Personally, I don’t think Dean goes far enough. Why do we need “journalists” anyway? They’re just liberal puke “filters,” and we don’t need that. If we need perspective or analysis, or information of any kind, wise bloggers like Dean (and Michelle Malkin and La Shawn Barber) will happily step into the breach and educate us. Hooray! Democracy wins!

“If you defend a President for sitting there for even one second after he’s told America is under attack, you are loyal to a person more than you are to the truth, to a principle, or to your country.”

Here are some choice comments from Little Green Footballs denizens about Cindy Sheehan’s mother’s stroke:

“adios, cindy. and stay the hell and gone…
dear God, its not enough that we have to put up with the illegals coming over the border like crap through a goose, we will let just any freaking body into Texas now”

“I’m glad the Texas Ditch Bitch had to leave.
The question is….Who will the left dredge up next?”

“Idealogy has driven people so mad that I am hoping Sheehan’s mom does not die, not because she is a human being, but because somebody might use her as their ventriloquist dummy for their cause.”

“Not trying to be mean or funny, but – any chance the stress her escapades have put her mother under, caused the stroke? Just saying…..”

“I attacked Bush and all I got was a divorce, a mom with a stroke, and this stupid t-shirt!”

“1. The handlers were looking for an excuse to bail, and found it, or
2. This attention addict won’t be able to resist the limelight, and will soon be back.”

“It’s too bad Rachelle Corey is not available to stand in for her while she’s gone. Of course when her mom actually sees her and realizes that Cindy is that nutcase she’s been seeing on TV, she’ll probably have another stroke.”

These people are sick, sad fucks.

Your reality, sir, is lies and balderdash and I’m delighted to say that I have no grasp of it whatsoever.

I’m really tired right now and I hate people. Everyone who comes through my field of vision just pisses the hell out of me right now. Ever have that feeling?

For all of those who believe Cindy Sheehan is exploiting her dead son, an image:

If you push a guy into a shark tank and the sharks eat him, who is more responsible for his death – you, or the sharks?

(sort of my riff on this)

Mrs. du Toit: “a brood mare”
Dean Esmay: (wait for it) “fascist propagandist”
RedState.org: “left wing media whore”

When these vile fuckers get going, there’s nothing they won’t say. There’s no one they won’t savage in their psychotic need to support this war and the President who got us there. They are a sick, sad bunch, and if I thought they could feel anything, I would pity them.

Dean Esmay, everyone’s favorite insane rageaholic contrarian, has now decided that he hates the interstate highway system.

You can’t make this stuff up, people.

Stay at Dean’s a while, and he’ll also tell you about how HIV doesn’t cause AIDS. And how women beat men as much as men beat women. And how Michael Moore is a fascist. And how he knows that Michael Schiavo murdered his wife on the night she collapsed.

I look forward to the day that he declares fluoridation is an attempt to steal our precious bodily fluids.
