Am I Overreacting Here?

The first things to go in a socialist state is our property and our freedom to assemble. A religious group is one of those basic forms of assembly and it will always be a thorn in the side of a socialist.
Socialists want people to worship the state and bow down to an erected statue of the fearless and enlightened leader.
Religious people, on the other hand, often reserve their praise for a higher power and it is no coincidence that Marx zeroed in on religion as being the opiate of the masses. In order for the state to gain full support from the masses, the peole have to be convinced that they need to worship the state's very existence. Marx knew that and so did every dictator from Hitler all the way back to the Babylonian kings of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. (not to get all biblical on you, but those three were thrown into the furnace for not bowing to a statue of the king)
I am losing hope in people when it comes to faith and property. I see history repeating itself.

With that I leave you this. Though it seems to be about a harmless problem dealing with parking, I can't help to think the county worker has a big problem with religion.

Not Marriage But A "Civil License"

Here's an article about the guy whose ideas I mentioned in the CA gay marriage post below.

Now That's What I Call Gerrymandering

How does the government use big business to get into power? Case in point. Let's face it, we are socialists. Since I have no respect for socialist countries is it ok to say I'm losing respect for ours?

Hand Me My Walker.

Now, I was a little young for the original theatrical release of Alien, but it later became and continues to be one of my all time favorite movies. It's somewhat of a relic from the bygone days when movie studios made horror movies that weren't afraid to slowly burn through character development and ambience before kicking you in the face with the good stuff. This should provide one more nail for that coffin of creativity. Sad. This should pave the way for a remake of Aliens (a strong contender for my favorite motion picture experience ever) and that officially makes me a geezer. Yeah, that does. Not all the other stuff. A remake of Aliens is the straw, people.

This Is My City.

Behold the glorious workings of the minds of San Diego City Officials. I don't really know where I stand on this issue, but I love it when children's advocates collide with animal advocates.

Update: Actually, I know exactly where I stand on this issue. The joyless buzzkills of my town voted to ban alcohol on the the local beaches in an effort to make all of our beaches more family friendly. So, fuck them, they've got plenty of places to take their stupid kids. Leave the damn seals alone. Or club them to death. Either way is cool.

Can't Wait For Friday Vid.

Stick with it; I guarantee it's glorious.

Sorry To Link To The NYT

But I like this article, and I think the subject now strikes a chord with Blogust also.

Couple Of Favorites Today.

Immunization. I wonder how long before some kid dies of something their parents refused to immunize them for, causing their parents to sue the Government for not forcing the immunization. You know, like they're forcing that child to have chemotherapy against his parents' wishes?

Garotzuva. Could, might, virtually, predicts...all your favorite "maybies" contained herein. My favorite part is this:

"...you thoroughly confused climate-change deniers..."

Yeah, they call the other side "smelly hippies" but they don't call them "thoroughly confused." And more importantly, there are those who don't believe in climate change, and there are those who don't believe man is radically changing the environment. And those who don't believe that either is happening at the rate Al Gore would have us believe. I wish they could get that straight.

Here We Go Again.

God, do I hate people.

Here's A Winner.

I believe this article has given me Embittered Syndrome or whatever the hell nonsense they called this shit. I'm going to go ahead and blame the coddlers again for this one. And really, not making the Olympic team is considered unexpectedly awful? I believe that nails the problem on the head right there.

A 14 Year Old Girl That ROCKS!

Stole this from Facebook. Make sure you watch the interview at the end. HILARIOUS!

The Goode Family

Why haven't I heard of this?
Mike Judge has a new show called the Goode Family that I think airs tonight and it might just be a show that rips on libs. (they say environmentalists, but aren't the two the same thing?) Can't wait.

Wow, This Is In Texas.

I'm speechless.

Hmmmm

Existing gay marriages can stand. That means this is far from over.
It will be on the ballot again very soon.

More Budget Visualizations

I like this guy's way of explaining things.

Interesting.

I wonder who owns stock in Sanofi Pasteur?

A Nominee

For my new favorite opinion piece.

God, I Love Sports

It would not be too much of a stretch to say that sports is my greatest passion in life. Specifically Charger football and Padres baseball. With those two teams it might be hard for someone to understand my love of sports. The let downs far outnumber the accomplishments, yet I persist. And it's because single great moments can make up for years of crushing disappointments. The feeling of seeing something as it happens and knowing you've witnessed something special that will be remembered can be overwhelming. Friday night, Lebron James closed the gap in comparisons to Michael Jordan when, with quite literally a second left on the clock and his team in danger of going down 2-0 in theEastern Conference finals, he nailed a seemingly impossible three. Even if you don't like basketball, if you are a fan of sport, you have got to feel it for this Cleveland news team.


God, I love that feeling.

Latest Trendy Site

Actually, it has probably been around for awhile and the fact that I don't know that, just shows how unhip I am and so therefore, I hate it. Even though I laughed... a lot.
