Crush Liberalism

Liberalism: Why think when you can “feel”?

Moonbats really are on meds!

I couldn’t make this up if I tried! From Moonbattery:

The Nutroots (i.e., the Democrat Party’s edgy new base) consist of some sadly messed-up individuals. Don’t take my word for it; the moonbats infesting Democratic Underground will tell you themselves. Some sample comments from a thread launched by the surprisingly insightful question, “Just Curious…How many DUers have started meds since becoming a member of the community??”:

…
I love ATIVAN tis my drug of choice!!!!!!

ativan helps me maintain some normalcy

Just told my doc I won’t take Effexor.

went on zoloft about a month into this admin. wish I was joking
…
Watch out for Effexor! It’s effective, but it is addictive!!! Wyeth, the maker of Effexor, wants people to get hooked.

I wonder if Wyeth makes anything that works on paranoia.

There are some new, cutting edge SSRIs out there… I am also interested in some of the headway they are making in very targeted, low dose electro-shock therapy.

IMO, the people who aren’t depressed aren’t paying attention Or they’re too dumb to figure out what is going on (or much smarter than I am (the likelier scenario – Ed.), since everything just confuses me).

I was on Effexor XR for over two years. Went on them in 2004 after four years of Bush. I almost died trying to quit them. […] Having been off of all meds for over a year now, I realize that it’s ok to be pissed off at what is happening in this country.

Effexor is what worked for me, but I’m off of it now because I’m broke. And I have no health insurance. It turned down the volume of my anxiety attacks to a manageable level[…] Unfortunately, it didn’t save my marriage[…]

So that’s why they’re so keen on socialized medicine!

I have been on either Zanex or valium since 1987 All due to anxiety and panic attacks . However since the loss of jobs and not being able to find new work things have really gotten worse than ever , this on top of this admin and it’s freakish dealings which affect just about everything one can think of just must have pushed me over the edge , plus the loss of my mother , who was my last contact to years gone by . I have been put on Lexapro too but this really screws me up big time even though I went through their determined adjustment period . I would rather not be on anything and just be able to function enough to get out of the apt and deal with what it left of my life which is very little . I don’t like being under some drug corps control .

Yep…they’re on meds, and it’s all Bush’s fault.

We’ve always known that moonbats were a few fries short of a Happy Meal, but now we see that moonbattery really does manifest itself into a real medical condition. I’m not going out on much of a limb by guessing that the meds they’re on aren’t of sufficient dosages, because they’re still crazier than a Yoko Ono fan club on LSD.

Headline of the day

More like a “post title of the day”, but you get the gist:

“Nappy Headed Ho” sues Nappy Headed Host.

MSM: Troops shooting at elderly Iraqi women

What an outrage! If only it were true, that is. Here’s the picture with the AFP caption:

unusedbullets.jpg
An elderly Iraqi woman shows two bullets which she says hit her house following an early coalition forces raid in the predominantly Shiite Baghdad suburb of Sadr City.

There’s just one problem, and I doubt I have to point it out to most of you. But for the benefit of those of you on the left, I’ll throw you a bone: the bullets in this woman’s hands are unfired.

Those savages that normal Americans call “troops” are now pulling out all the stops in their war against Iraqi civilians in general, and poor elderly women in particular: they are throwing fully intact, unused ammo! The putrid barbarism is way too much to endure, my friends!

Confederate Yankee has some info on the photographer who took this, and wouldn’t you know it, he’s done crap like this before! If one didn’t know any better, one would swear those bullets were given to the lady to gin up some anti-American propaganda that this photographer was all too willing to foment. If one didn’t know any better, of course.

Baseball umpires racist?

Wasn’t TIME magazine once a respected fishwrap? Those days are long gone. Check this out:

Bad calls by the ump are as much a part of baseball as home run records, rabid fans and watery beer, but a new study shows that an umpire’s decision may have a disturbing ulterior motive: racism.

According to the new study led by Daniel Hamermesh, a professor of economics at the University of Texas at Austin, Major League Baseball umpires tend to call more strikes when the pitcher is of their same race; when they’re not, umps call more balls. …

Wow. Sounds bad. Except…:

… It doesn’t happen all the time — in about 1% of pitches thrown — but that’s still one pitch per game, and it could be the one that makes the difference.

If we were to accept Hamermesh’s theory (which I’m not), the fact that this purported phenomenon does not occur in 99% of all of the pitches in baseball is…um…proof that an umpire is racist?

Anyone else getting the impression that “wolf” has been cried too many times? Words used to mean things, but now, apparently “racism” joins “sex” and “is” in the realm of flexible words.

Imus the winner?

Great observation from Neal Boortz:

Don Imus reached a settlement with CBS yesterday. Looks like he’s going to carry home about $20 million. There’s also word that he is negotiating with WABC to resume his career as a stable mate of my pal Sean Hannity.

So … let’s run the numbers here.

1. Don Imus gets Al Sharpton’s boxers in a wad. That’s a good thing.
2. Imus gets what amounts to a four-month paid vacation. Four months off and a cool $20 million from CBS
3. CBS gets kicked in the teeth for bowing to a race pimp like Sharpton, and for bowing to the pressures of political correctness. Good. Lovin’ it.
4. Now the bidding will start for a return to the airwaves for Imus. More millions on the way.

Tell me again how bad this has all turned out for the I-man?

Not so bad, it seems.

“Iranian Unit to Be Labeled ‘Terrorist’”

It’s about time we started calling these weirdbeards what they are. From the Washington comPost:

The United States has decided to designate Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps, the country’s 125,000-strong elite military branch, as a “specially designated global terrorist,” according to U.S. officials, a move that allows Washington to target the group’s business operations and finances.

The Bush administration has chosen to move against the Revolutionary Guard Corps because of what U.S. officials have described as its growing involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan as well as its support for extremists throughout the Middle East, the sources said. The decision follows congressional pressure on the administration to toughen its stance against Tehran, as well as U.S. frustration with the ineffectiveness of U.N. resolutions against Iran’s nuclear program, officials said.

U.N. resolutions…ineffective? Get outta here! Continuing:

The designation of the Revolutionary Guard will be made under Executive Order 13224, which President Bush signed two weeks after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks to obstruct terrorist funding. It authorizes the United States to identify individuals, businesses, charities and extremist groups engaged in terrorist activities. The Revolutionary Guard would be the first national military branch included on the list, U.S. officials said — a highly unusual move because it is part of a government, rather than a typical non-state terrorist organization.
…
“Anyone doing business with these people will have to reevaluate their actions immediately,” said a U.S. official familiar with the plan who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the decision has not been announced. “It increases the risks of people who have until now ignored the growing list of sanctions against the Iranians. It makes clear to everyone who the IRGC and their related businesses really are. It removes the excuses for doing business with these people.”

Of course, this story wouldn’t be complete without the “bash Bush” angle, now would it?

The administration’s move could hurt diplomatic efforts, some analysts said. “It would greatly complicate our efforts to solve the nuclear issue,” said Joseph Cirincione, a nuclear proliferation expert at the Center for American Progress. “It would tie an end to Iran’s nuclear program to an end to its support of allies in Hezbollah and Hamas. The only way you could get a nuclear deal is as part of a grand bargain, which at this point is completely out of reach.”

So let me get this straight: if we want Iran to stop developing nukes AND to stop supporting terrorist groups like Hamas and Hezbollah, WE are being unreasonable? I would argue that those two positions are non-negotiable, and until Iran agrees on those two points, there’s nothing else to discuss with them. Good grief! Only a pointy-headed diplomat-type would be crazy enough to think that identifying terrorism (especially a group that has killed some of our soldiers in Iraq) is counterproductive to the disarming process.
