Fluke’s boy-friend is very much the wrong religion


What continues to transpire on the Keyboard Komando side of the aisle is truly alarming. This week we’re breathlessly told the law student, the one throughly smeared for daring to mention women’s health as an issue of import for some voters, has a boyfriend. And he’s not just any old hell-bound non-Christian, he’s one of those successful, book learn’n intellectual types. You know the kind:

(Via Daily Kos) — Adam Mutterperl is the son of one of the most well-connected leftist Jewish families on the East Coast (add the West Coast to that, apparently), with ties to neo-Marxist Brandeis University as decades old donors… and whose father, Bill Mutterperl, worked directly for Paul Volcker, one of Obama’s pals, advisors, and Keynesian “stimulus” bill architects.

Somewhere, in the back of my mind, like everyone else, I find myself resisting the idea that this shit is deadly serious, that it could take a terrible turn in a heartbeat. Maybe it’s good, I reason, for these savages to show their true colors in such vivid detail.

Then I see packed rooms of so-called everyday people with their heads bowed, smiling in delight, as leading politicians preach against the “myth” of separation of Church and State in this Christian Nation. I read and watch pundits and talk radio hosts damn near wank off publicly at the thought of putting women, minorities, homosexuals, or socialist “Jews” in their place. I’m keenly aware of hominid evolution, recent history, and frogs in a pot. And I fear all it might take is a few elections, maybe a national crisis or two, real or manufactured, to leave us sputtering helplessly in the face of atrocity, or worse, silent out of fear for our own skins.

    …Why do these assholes think everyone is in some sort of familial-wealth-connections conspiracy?

    I love how Saint Ron’s Fed Chairman is now part of the Neo-Marxist/Keynesian conspiracy.

    Paul Volcker, one of Obama’s pals, advisors, and Keynesian “stimulus” bill architects.

    Volcker is a neo-classic economist, not a Keynesian. However he was Chairman of the Economic Recovery Advisory Board for two years from 2009 to 2011, so he was an Obama advisor.

    Incidentally, Volcker is known at Tall Paul because he’s 6’7″.

    Think what a 1918 flu epidemic would do to the bible and gun clingers today? Even a good percentage of the free-thinking would go throwed-off as they watch their neighbors, their family, their children dying around them, it’s wrath-of-god time and better find out who made god mad and get rid of’em. If you don’t read Chris Hedges, you should, or better, listen to him, the evident passion is palpable, and of these scenarios he has much to say.

    Projection.

    I’d rather tear off my own skin and eat it than waste my time with anything written by a shit stain like Chris “I Don’t Believe in Atheists” Hedges.

    Fuck that piece of shit.

    It is not wise to dismiss someone you disagree with, even strongly disagree with, on a narrow issue, he goes after the fundamentalists with great passion and insight. Do you even know anything about his writing? A ‘shit stain’? That is more insane than being a believer, his dislike of the ‘new atheists’ I think is one more of misunderstanding than wrong-headedness, his knowledge and experience are extremely valuable resource and you do yourself a disservice to spew such ignorance.

    I’ve read I Don’t Believe in Atheists. Hedges sets up a strawman “new atheist” and then ineptly demolishes it. His book is poorly researched and poorly written. I’ll certainly never buy another of his books.
