The following opinion will infuriate as many as it gladdens, but I see Obama as a Hater of the Actual -- which is one of the secrets of his "success."..."<br /><br />Yes, exactly so, as it has been for the last 500 years of modernity... and the millennia of years before that as well. The ProRegressive Leftist is all about pretending the world is, what they wish that their improvements on it would be. Isn't that exactly what EveAdam did as well? They both knew, from direct knowledge of He who made it, that the fruit would not be good for them, but they wanted it to be otherwise, so they listened to a smart deconstruction of appearances, rather than the reality of what was wise.<br /><br />And without reality to stand on, you fall.<br /><br />Surprise!Van Harveyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08470413719262297062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-26935578102344217912015-08-27T11:48:41.612-07:002015-08-27T11:48:41.612-07:00Reality: Why we can't have nice things.Reality: Why we can't have nice things.mushroomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07651027035577798096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-42849525200551326732015-08-27T11:42:05.746-07:002015-08-27T11:42:05.746-07:00This is what makes them so pernicious and malignan...<i>This is what makes them so pernicious and malignant: that they are rooted in a real and enduring hatred of reality.</i><br /><br />Yes, because reality - and by extension, of course, God - is so mean and unfair.

Notably, there have been extremely few incidences of actual backlash by anyone against Muslims in the West - quite possibly, I will allow, because the media takes such steps to call for cool heads in the aftermath. But let an event happens that fits The Narrative (white people are racists 111!!1!!), and they will yap about it nonstop for as long as it takes for the riots to break out.juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15975754287030568726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-49003314723631132522015-08-27T10:46:00.623-07:002015-08-27T10:46:00.623-07:00I was thinking the same thing about the media'...I was thinking the same thing about the media's role in this latest shooting. I would guess that a good 50% of shooters have in their heads that they will finally get the attention they deserve when they start pulling the trigger. Couple that with the race war narrative the media parks the van on, and it is not surprising some poor fool decides to get some revenge. mushroomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07651027035577798096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-4124538829397799402015-08-27T09:50:26.966-07:002015-08-27T09:50:26.966-07:00Someone just posted this quote on my facebook feed...Someone just posted this quote on my facebook feed: "The most powerful thing we can do as humans is imagine a better future and then go build it."<br /><br />Oh lord.
