Homophobia, or Homo-nausea?

Posted by lge on Monday, January 22, 2007 12:17:12 PM
Leftists always like to attribute conservative views to either hate or fear. It's their patronizing way of belittling their opponents' opinions, without the bother of actually  arguing against them or doing any rational reasoning.

Thus they label opposition to the gay agenda "homophobia" -- an irrational, superstitious fear or dread, they imply. But maybe it's not fear, but revulsion -- a skin-crawling  feeling of being faced with something twisted, unnatural, perverted and unclean? Maybe that would make it not "homophobia," but "homo-nausea"? Or "homo-repulsia"?

"We're against us!"

Posted by lge on Sunday, January 21, 2007 8:17:06 PM

China has China reportedly tested an anti-satellite weapon, and Sen. Joe Biden has issued a warning -- to the U.S.

He did so in suitably mealy-mouthed language. In an article, "Sen. Biden Warns Against Space Arms Race," Townhall.com quotes him:

"I don't think we should be overly worried about this at this point," Biden said. "We have ways to deal with that ability."  . . .

Biden, who is running for president in 2008, said  President Bush's policy on weapons in space need to be reviewed.

"One of the things we have to talk about is whether or not the, sort of, ideological base notion about how we deal with space and weapons in space and the use of weapons from space is something that is a path we should continue to follow," he said.

In other words, if you ignore his mealy-mouthed evasions, what Biden is saying is, "Don't fight back! Don't respond! That creates an arms race! Better to let the enemy build arms and not respond! Then there's no race, because we're not running -- we're supinely lying down."

Ah, yes: surrender -- the sure way to avoid a fight!

Biden's guiding principle, and in fact the guiding principle of all liberals, is, "We're against us."

He's a weasel among weasels! Are such anti-Americans fit to serve in Congress?

Harry Reid, The Smarmy Ghost

Posted by lge on Monday, January 15, 2007 1:26:46 AM
Something interesting I just read about our esteemed Majority Leader, Harry Reid:

It's easy to understand why people underestimate Harry Reid. He doesn't leave much of an impression.... When Reid began mumbling something in the chamber a few minutes after the new Senate was sworn in, his colleagues were too caught up in their own conversations to notice that he was giving his inaugural address. "Please," presiding Senator Frank Lautenberg implored, tapping the gavel, "the majority leader is speaking."

I'm not surprised nobody noticed he was speaking.  Reid has that mealy-mouthed, oily, shrinking-violet, soothing-a-lunatic sort of voice that is becoming so common in our federal government lately. His voice is sort of a mixture of  Mr. Rogers,  a politically-correct university bureaucrat, and a smarmily ingratiating Uriah Heep.

He "wouldn't say boo to a ghost." He's Casper the Smarmy Ghost. He sounds like (in words from a Clint Eastwood movie) a "voice from the bottom of a tomb."

It's as if he were so unsure of what he says that he incapable of expressing himself emphatically, or even sounding alive. The bloodless, prim and prissy orthodoxy he represents -- that set of formulaic pre-baked attitudes called "political correctness" -- is as much fun as the repressive nagging of maiden aunts. Nevertheless, he and all other Democratic would-be dictators and dominatrixes of this country, are bound and determined to have their own way. 

They're frauds and they know they're frauds, but they're going to continue being frauds. They know their real interest is "the main chance" for their own self-advancement; but they pretend they're public-spirited citizens interested in the country's welfare. Their voices betray them.

Their hollow, affect-less voices announce that they're hollow people and know it, walking and speaking on eggshells and hoping nobody will disturb the house of cards that is their pretense to integrity.

Sub-Human Music

Posted by lge on Wednesday, January 03, 2007 3:13:21 PM
Dear Diary:

  I finally thought of a good word for describing rap music, hip-hop, whatever you call it. You know,  the "music" that just consists of a repeated beat and some guy chanting, or yelling in a sing-song voice: "Oogy-boogy, oogy-boogy, boogy boogy boogy."

Well, I know they're using words, but who really cares what they're chanting? They could be going

                Strawberry short-cake, huckeberry pie.
                V-I-C-T-O-R-Y

as far as I know.

I used to call it "cretin doggerel." As far as the "lyrics" go, that's accurate. Or "dumbed-down music" -- that's accurate, too. It's for people so stupid they can't understand melody and harmony, so they chant nursery-school rhymes, like small children at recess. Like this:

  Johnny and Katie, sitting in a tree.
  K-I-S-S-I-N-G.

These are people with real intellectual brain-power. People who still marvel at the "cleverness" of using numerals for words, using "2" for "too" and "4" for "for," EVEN AFTER IT'S BEEN DONE TEN MILLION TIMES. People like Tewpac, Snoopity Dawg,  M&M -- nasty dips.

So I used to emphasize the "cretin" aspect. But I think from now on I'll call rap "sub-human music" or "sub-music music." It's for people who are devolving -- evolving in reverse -- back to caveman days, where they sat around beating on a rock and grunting. This worries me -- we're getting stupider and stupider as a country.
