Case in point, try watcing anything on the ABC Family Channel and take note of the caliber of programming they are featuring.  You know, brilliant shows like Greek and The Secret Life of the American Teenager. Shows that are so *totally* realistic and “just like life.”  Yeah, because every teenager goes through the challenges of not keeping your pants on and having to “miss out on everything,” like proms and such, because, apparently, sex = babies!

It’s moronic.  The characters act as though they are so angry that having sex should lead to pregnancy, as if it’s not fair or something.

And don’t even get me started on Geek…uh…Greek.  Do the producers honestly believe that anyone is dumb enough to buy into that doofy dork with the stupid hair as being the “hot bad boy?”  Oh wait…people ARE dumb enough to buy that, apparently.  That’s the point of this little rant.

Ok, get this through your heads, idiots: Hollywood only sells what people are buying.  So stop watching this crap and demand better, more substantial and actually interesting content from them.

The moral of the story is, if you watch any of those shows, or if you think Adam Lambert was actually talented or “hot,” you’re an idiot.  You need to turn off your TV and read a book or something.  You’re the same people who voted for Obama.  What a gem he’s turning out to be.

Morons.

This is what happens when a culture of people are conditioned, by religion or politics or other, to devalue human life on a regular and systematic basis.  In this case, and the case of Islam as a whole (and don’t kid yourself for a second that this has nothing to do with religion), Sharia Law allows for and even demands the complete disregard for the sanctity of human life to the point that men are expected, excused and even extolled for murdering their own wives and daughters if they should break faith in any way (to be judged, of course, by the same primitive cowards that throw the stones and light the fires).

Unbelievable…because the kid didn’t finish his homework.

P.S. What other group devalues human life on a regular and systematic basis?  Liberals.  (See abortion)

* I’m not actually quoting a specific source, just the general apologetic commentary that we keep hearing from media and cowardly political leaders who won’t call a spade a spade for fear of escalation or (worse for them) vote loss.

“I frankly can’t wait because the idea of Bill Clinton back in the White House with nothing to do is something I can’t imagine.”

(Quoted from the Jan. 25 GOP debate in Florida in response to Tim Russert’s question about how he would approach a campaign against the Clintons, should he win the nomination.)

Hilarious!

Anyway, the only reason this is worth note is that it exposes a couple of patterns that are so common to academia, which for the large part means liberals. I’m counting this guy as “academia” since he went out of his way to mention his dissertation and grad school in his goofy video. He’ll consider such designation on his behalf a compliment, I’m sure.

First, notice how testy he gets when I expose the irony of his criticism. Granted, maybe he’s more testy that I exposed the “I hope this video makes me famous” intent of his video. Either way, he can’t just take it on the chin and laugh it off, even with the playful tone that I used in my opening comment. (Granted, again, tone is a hard thing to interpret in such informal writing, especially when it’s written as criticism as it certainly was.)

Next, notice how he completely abandons the real substantial part of my criticism of his criticism–the part that calls him out for trying to blame Mitt Romney or his campaign for a grammatical gaffe made by some independent support group of Romney’s. On that point he conveniently and suddenly falls mute, instead choosing to focus the full measure of his analytical prowess on whether or not its appropriate to terminate an interrogative phrase with a period, as validated by this or that style guide. Who cares? (Note the appropriate use of question mark.) The only reason I even brought up the punctuation at all was because I found it amusing how his self-congratulations was so vigorous as to make him overlook an obvious grammatical flaw of his own (style guides bah…only academics follow them anyway).

Finally, notice the dead giveaway of a liberal who has lost an argument (again, I can’t say for sure if this guy is a liberal, but he’s sure playing from their playbook). Rather than, “thanks for visiting,” or “thanks for the comment, we disagree,” or “you’re wrong, and I’ll prove it,” he chooses “go away! I don’t care about being corrected, or listening to anyone who doesn’t agree with me…I prefer the Kos-style liberal echo chamber to actual debate!”

So predictable.

Final Note: I submit that I may be WAY over-selling this entire thing. There’s probably not much here at all, really. Maybe I’m just tired of people taking pot shots or making criticisms without any foundation in reality or fact and I took it out on this poor wanna-be YouTube celebrity. So on his behalf, let me say, I hope the DailyKos was watching and that they are about to offer him a regular feature on their totally valid and rational site.

I’ve had much fun debating with irrational liberals and blogging about those experience for all millions of you to see. But I’ve recently come across a few who, at least in one blog post or another (even if not on the whole) are able to throw off their ideological blinders and recognize falsehood where it exists.

Here is one such example. I haven’t really read much of the rest of this blog, so I’m really not sure of the overall tone (although from the comment thread I do get a sense that Ron harbors his share of anti-conservatism), but as far as this post goes, I have to give credit where it’s due.

Well done, Ron.

At some point in times past, liberals usurped the term progressive to describe themselves, much as they have done with the term liberal. By designating themselves as progressive, the intent of this segment of society is to trick the masses into believing that their liberal beliefs and the policies that they would espouse and impose are just that–progressive–meaning that they would engender progress in society.

This is just silly. An examination of the liberal agenda reveals beliefs and desires that are far from new, having been espoused by many societies of the past (see Roman Empire in your local encyclopedia). The thing is, these societies are now reduced to little more than archaeological relics, having died off in one way or another after only a few hundred years.

Hardly a history that indicates progress.

Rather, O’Reilly should use the “P” in S-P to describe these people as they really are: permissive. The term progressive should be taken back by those people who truly believe in positive change and progress. Contrary to the liberal assertion, this kind of progress does not come from permissiveness. On the contrary, humanity is never more stymied in its progress than when it has become overly permissive–a fact proven by history. Look it up.

So, liberals, please be honest. What you truly want is a world without boundaries, without rules and restrictions. You don’t want progress, you want permission to behave however you will without consequences.

Best of luck to you on that. I’ll be sure to leave a note to future civilizations indicating that you were once part of a great society, but you decided to permit gay marriage and unfettered abortion and the negative birth rate that resulted ended in your demise.
