You just can't make this stuff up

Classically Liberal on Carrie PreJean as a traditional marriage crusader:

She is generous: “I think that people that are homosexual should have some rights, you know, hospital rights and things like that.” How, you know, generous! Hey, some right are better than no rights. Imagine, the outcry, however, if some prominent advocate of gay marriage were to announce that Christians should have just “some rights,” but not equal rights. The martyr complex that infects many fundamentalists would go into overdrive at a remark like that. It is also outstanding that Prejeans wants “things like that” for gay people. Just don't ask her what "things like that" actually means.

Apparently Prejean doesn’t have the foggiest idea what a civil union is or what are the issues around them. She said: “I would like to be more educated on that, so when I do have a better answer for you, I will get back to you on that one.”

Asked about adoption rights she attempts to deflect the question by saying: “I am focusing on marriage right now, not adoption, not civil unions, just traditional marriage, and I’m going to do whatever it takes to promote that.”...

The more she talks. the more obvious it is that we are dealing with a walking stereotype of the brainless beauty queen. Prejean’s main problem is a severe case of bimboitis exacerbated by extreme religiousity. Perhaps her recent breast enlargement was a defense mechanism: make them large enough and no one will pay attention to what she's actually saying. I get the impression that this is one woman who, when talking, would say to men: "Excuse me! But my breasts are down here."


And CL finds this other, truly amazing anti-gay marriage comment:

It’s a shame that proponents of Gay Marriage have absolutely no understanding of why many people are opposed to it. Has it ever occurred to any of you that those of us who are against it are against it because it’s not a law that would apply strictly to Gays? Same sex marriage would be legal for the entire population.


As he says on the site: Good luck figuring that one out.

Meanwhile, Coyote finds this sentence in an all-too-usual story about a cop killing a dog:

An off-duty Essex police officer could face charges for shooting his allegedly neighbor’s dog after it tangled with his Pug, state police say.


As Coyote himself comments: “Allegedly neighbor’s dog?” Is the fact that he is a neighbor in doubt? Or is the ownership of the dog in doubt? Or is it the species of the animal that is in doubt?

Or here, in an editorial opposing legalization/decrminalization of drugs:

America will gain increased tax income if drugs are legalized, but life will change.

Consider:

* Every generation will be destroyed, as with tobacco and alcohol, while illegal drugs will grow in almost every backyard and household/office flower pot.

* One illegal drug might be approved to alleviate the agony of dying people.

* Security and medical forces will collapse with rises in crime, new diseases and soaring death rates.

* We will need to advise how our guns are made, annually inspected and ownership controlled.

* Peer pressure will render pointless the teachings of parents, educators clergy and society.

* Quality of air, water, food and critical industries will be further compromised.

* Our military will be forced to function with increasingly unclear heads.

* Effectiveness of our legislatures and justice systems will diminish, as prisoners are freed.

* We might require officials, et al, to submit to random drug and alcohol tests, or face arrest and/or firing/impeachment.

* Employees might demand “druggie” breaks, along with currently allowed smoke breaks and alcohol lunches.

* All official and private vehicles should be equipped with alcohol/breath-testers and sensors, for all operations, for all occupants, for every re-start.

* All entrants to official buildings must submit to drug breath-tests/inspections, as we now do for metal/weapons, etc.

* Pharmaceutical companies and the media will profit greatly with false promises and advertising.

* Enemies will reap greater drug income and increased power from America’s further decline into drug-induced stupor and financial impotence.

* Our borders will become legally meaningless, as they are at present.


I want my druggie breaks.

Miss Prejean continues to show herself as the moronic boob I'd only imagined a beauty contestant could be. Then, she opened her mouth.

I saw the press conference that CL is citing and, let me tell you, that chick is being totally used by the NOM group. I saw the group's leader (Maggie Gallagher) on Larry King Live last night and this woman and her organization are a complete disgrace.

Everything a person says is being taken to the extreme and each day we are closer to losing our freedom of speech. We no longer can criticize or have casual dialogue, however lets not forget that through criticism a society also grows. We are not all the same or feel the same about issues for if we did then we would had been converted into the women from the movie "The Stepford Wives", changed not known to them to behave like someone's else's view of the perfect house wife or the perfect woman. At times I feel that some politicos especially the covert ones wishing to transform our Nation wish for us to just wake up converted into non-feeling subjects such as the Stepford wives. We could just nod each morning, pay taxes, drive to work like robots, go to bed like robots and all of us acting the same with indifference to what goes on around us, however lets not forget what made us unique in the first place, tolerant of different views with freedom of expression.

A Libertarian Martin Luther King Jr. Day post

In which we travel into interesting waters . . . (for a fairly long trip, so be prepared) Dr. King's 1968 book, Where do we go from here:  chaos or community? , is profound in that it criticizes anti-poverty programs for their piecemeal approach, as John Schlosberg of the Center for a Stateless Society  [C4SS] observes: King noted that the antipoverty programs of the time “proceeded from a premise that poverty is a consequence of multiple evils,” with separate programs each dedicated to individual issues such as education and housing. Though in his view “none of these remedies in itself is unsound,” they “all have a fatal disadvantage” of being “piecemeal,” with their implementation having “fluctuated at the whims of legislative bodies” or been “entangled in bureaucratic stalling.”   The result is that “fragmentary and spasmodic reforms have failed to reach down to the profoundest needs of the poor.” Such single-issue approaches also have “another common failing — ...

Libertarian National Committee Deathwatch Part 1

As the LNC continues to lurch towards collapse, with the latest news of mass layoffs at HQ, I've decided to begin tracking those things leading the national party to irrelevance, even as state and local parties gain power. As news, rumors and rhetoric break out, I shall chronicle them in this ongoing series at Delaware Libertarian. Organizations approaching failure have a number of characteristics. One of the most striking is renunciation of their purpose and effort to reinvent themselves as a "me-too" provider of services in the marketplace. In this, the LNC has been on a collision course with destiny for a while now. Recently, for example, it hired Republican Party web site developer TerraEclipse to redesign the LNC web site . Terra created a web site very similar to those of the clients it brags most about -- far-right Republican conservatives like Tom McClintock and BJ Lawson. A quick look at the web site they built for the LNC is instructive. The tagline on the ...

The disturbing decline of the Delaware blogosphere: a very unfortunate Around the Horn (even if it's not Friday)

I've noticed a change in my own blog-checking habits over the past several weeks, and I don't know if it's just me or the reality of the last month of a divisive political campaign. I automatically used to check out Delawareliberal first and several times a day, because it was where I could find edgy, thought-provoking, and (dare I say it) funny banter going on. These days visit several other spots first, and my visits to DL are both shorter and less engaged. Why? Because the combination of invading neo-con commenters with the stridency of some of the major contributors has led to such pleasant exchanges as a post dedicated to labeling another blogger racist by donviti, whose own sense of provocative humor is generally so far out there that he makes John Belushi doing Samurai bartender on the SNL look positively pro-Asian. Or I can find Delawaredem and jason periodically spewing the idea that anybody who is not a liberal or progressive Democrat is somehow a non-American,...
