Life, death and free speech . . .
I'm haven't been keeping up as I should, and I'm running late in my posts, email, and everything... But I've noticed the rest of the world does not stop. A cruel white curtain of snow has descended over the East Coast while I enjoy balmy 60 degree weather! Naturally, I feel extremely guilty, and doubtless for my escapist thought crimes I deserve the severest possible shaming. But meanwhile, the blogosphere goes on, epitomized by this week's mind-bloggling collection of posts at the Carnval of the Vanities. Northstar (that's Jack Cluth) at the People's Republic of Seabrook does a truly fantastic job with all of them. Here are a few which stood out for me. Why do people think the most innocent things can be immediately called racism, homophobic, sexist, etc? And more importantly, why do rational people allow them to get away with it?To which I'd add another question: Why is it that real hate speech (such as calling for the death of Jews) is excused by the same people who hurl these accusations? So go read the Carnival, and keep free speech alive! posted by Eric on 01.19.05 at 12:12 PM

No, it's a thought but I'll stick with what I am. I prefer the encircling sinuous paths of sin. I admire men's men, but I'll continue to worship Lesbians, Lesbianism, the holy embrace of Tribadism.... Steven Malcolm Anderson (Cato theElder) the Lesbian-worshipping man's-man-admiring myth-based egoist · January 19, 2005 05:06 PM Michael Moore in a COTV... I wonder if that was self-submitted, or if someone else "nominated" him for things. Were I hosting a COTV, I'm afraid Mr. Moore's submission would get "lost." Though, really, to simply see Michael Moore in my inbox might be more than I could handle. Have to get a new email address then, as the old one would have become unclean.

Interesting stuff. I sure liked Michael Demmons's essay in Dean's World. As for that "gay gas", maybe I need it. Make me a man's man. A real he-man. I've often thought about that. Then I'd be straight instead of constantly being lured into the encircling sinuous paths of sin.
La Shawn Barber's position on Gingrich is consistently Conservative, demanding character and upholding the sanctity of marriage. I'm glad Gingrich was keeping Clinton in check back then, but I can't see him as President. At least Clinton still stays married to his wife. Moore and Coulter (if I were a man's man, I'd go for Hannity!) and Sandy Burglar? Interesting....
Those last three items were just too excruciatingly infuriating. I have had it with Political Correctness, terrorists, Jew-haters, Christian-haters, America-haters, the destroyers of our Western high culture. I'm proud to be a Politically Incorrect, Zionist, American Chauvinist, Western Imperialist Warmonger. I'm glad I voted for Bush, I'm glad he and his party are in control of our government or else this mess would be even worse.
