Gay Pride: It’s the New Black

The best argument for gay marriage so far:

Once you’re out of the shadows, nobody can touch you.

And in case you missed it last night, allow me to repeat this brilliant assignment from Sr. Agnes’ 10th grade typing class -

These are the times that try men’s souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value. - Thomas Paine

I typed that quote over and over in Sr. Agnes’ class, ultimately learning the skill of touch typing butt never really understanding it. Alas, tyranny wasn’t as real- and popular - in 10th grade as it is in the 21st century.

 "The pride colors reflect the diversity of the LGBT community, and tonight, these colors celebrate a new chapter in the history of American civil rights."

Martin Luther King was unavailable for comment.

 The Lion King IV: Gay Pride

We may have to rethink how that “Circle of Life” works once the whole pride goes gay on us.

When Words No Longer Matter…

When words no longer matter…we cease to be a nation of laws and become a nation of Scotuscare. When words no longer matter the Judicial Branch can appropriate the powers of the Legislative Branch…which they have more or less conceded to the Executive Branch anyway.

When words no longer matter …well, that reminds me of a song:

 

"Revolution"

You say you want a revolution
Well you know
We all want to change the world
You tell me that it's evolution
Well you know
We all want to change the world
But when you talk about destruction
Don't you know you can count me out (in)*
Don't you know it's gonna be alright
Alright Alright

You say you got a real solution
Well you know
We'd all love to see the plan
You ask me for a contribution
Well you know
We're doing what we can
But when you want money for people with minds that hate
All I can tell you is brother you have to wait
Don't you know it's gonna be alright
Alright Alright

You say you'll change the constitution
Well you know
We all want to change your head
You tell me it's the institution
Well you know
You better free your mind instead
But if you go carrying pictures of Chairman Mao
You ain't going to make it with anyone anyhow
Don't you know know it's gonna be alright
Alright Alright

^* whether it’s “out,” “in” or “out-in” depends on which version you listen too. “The version of this song that appears on The Beatles (The White Album) has a variant lyric indicating Lennon's uncertainty about destructive change, with the phrase “count me out” recorded as “count me out, in”.

At least for now…

Another Skinny, Big-eared Man of Color Wants To Be President

Question: Does America really need another skinny, big-eared man of color as president?

Answer: Yes, if the next one is a God-fearing,

Gun-toting,

red-blooded first generation American who loves his wife, family and country.

If you consider the concept of the American melting pot a form of racial “micro-aggression” you probably won’t like Bobby Jindal – a first generation Indian (no, sorry, not Native) who has assimilated American values better than most Americans whose roots go back generations.

On the other hand, if you think America needs fewer salad bowls and more fondues, this guy’s for you. Read or watch Bobby Jindal’s all-American speech. Highlights: he will secure the borders, replace ObamaKare, grow the private sector and rebuild America’s defenses. Simple, butt impressive.

“All This For A Damned Flag?”

Have you been following this flag controversy?

“Walmart, Amazon, eBay and Sears all announced bans on the sale of Confederate flag merchandise, amid an intensifying national debate over the use of the controversial flag.”

The confederate flag has been deemed to be a dog whistle and as such should be considered an offensive racial artifact. And since “we won” it must come down.

Even some of our more opportunistic astute presidential candidates have weighed in:

To quote a wise old black woman:

“All this for a damned flag?”

 

BTW: You can buy Hillary’s latest anti-racist campaign buttons here.

CAUTION: Objects in the NYT may appear different than in reality

“If you watch Fox News you inhabit a completely different world with different facts than if you read (the) New York Times.” – Brietbart

Although I don’t think it was Fox News that was tricked by a 16-year-old into reporting that Dylann Roof blogged about “My Little Pony.” That would have been the New York Times

Fox News: “President Barack Obama waves at the crowd during the 2015 Congressional Baseball Game at the National Parks Stadium, on June 11, 2015 in Washington DC.”

NYT: President Barack Obama waves at the crowd with Representative Dan Kildee (D-MI) during the 2015 Congressional Baseball Game at the National Parks Stadium, on June 11, 2015 in Washington DC. He also took the opportunity to chastise Republicans for being polarizing partisans, resulting in political gridlock.”

Hmmmm…

“The problem is that there is this big gap between who we are as a people and how our politics expresses itself,” he said, explaining that government became increasingly “detached from how people live on a day to day basis.” – Breitbart

Really, Big Guy? Detached?

Speaking of detached, I wonder how Amerika’s newspaper of record will deal with this “fact”: A black friend of Dylann Roof says that Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church was Plan B. Chosen because Plan A (College of Charleston) had armed security. (Fox News)

 

NOTE: Raj update. Neurosurgeon concurs with initial diagnosis; a severely ruptured disk. Surgery is the only resolution. If you saw the MRI you wouldn’t have to be a neurosurgeon to see why. Despite being placed on “priority” status we were told that surgery would be unlikely until after the Fourth. Butt don’t worry, there’s no doctor shortage in the US of A.The good news is that they’ve made great strides in this type of surgical procedure and it will be done arthroscopically by a skilled surgeon who’s done thousands of these and barring complications will be done on an out-patient basis.

Raj said to tell everyone that he greatly appreciates your thoughts and prayers. Will keep you posted.

Who’s Your Daddy?

Open thread today, as I have chauffer duties for multiple “back” to “back” appointments:

When asked which one of her multi-colored fathers she spent Fathers Day with Racial Dolezal responded: “I don’t...understand the question.”

Wake Up America: One Man’s Ceiling Is Another Man’s Floor

It’s official: the summer solstice arrives at 12:38 p.m. EDT. On this, the official Summer Solstice, I would like to wish everyone a wonderful and fruitful summer.

And speaking of berries, it’s a shame neither Barry nor his progeny will be home in the Big White to celebrate either the solstice or Fathers Day this year. Butt don’t let that spoil your day.

Because the Summer Solstice is here and that means that - once again - the hottest days of the year lie ahead, whether you believe the earth is warming due to my SUV or not.

Warning: hot daze ahead

And Happy Father’s day to everyone who is a dad, has a dad,  once had a dad, played one on TeeVee or slept in a Holiday Inn Express last night. Enjoy this double-dip day of celebration by either making future memories with your dad or enjoying the ones you have garnered over a lifetime.

I realize not everyone had the ideal Dad like those portrayed in these once-upon-a-time in a land far, far away TV shows:

Butt back then at least most dad’s still aspired to the ideal of fatherhood, rather than just being a baby-daddy.

Of course that was in the way-back machine before the enlightened progressives shared their view of the world with America. You know, back before white men were deemed to be racist, sexist, stupid, inept and generally unnecessary in the modern world.

So thanks for that, Norman Lear, and Happy Father’s Day to you too!

Norman, with his (third) wife, Lyn and (third) family, 2002. Interesting trivia; wife #3 was born the same year as Norm’s first daughter.

So on the day that the sun reaches it’s highest point in the northern skies I leave you with this final thought to ponder: one man’s Summer Solstice is another man’s Winter Solstice.

One Man’s Ceiling is Another Man’s Floor h/t Paul Simon
