No comparable stories of youthful struggle have arisen from the vocational education programs at Bakersfield City College, where students have to worry about getting to Applebee’s on time for their shift. Like neurasthenia, social justice agony is a rich kid’s disease.
Pathetic

There is another class of coloured people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs – partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs.
— Booker T. Washington
You do realize that the whole purpose of a vehicle is for it to be driven, don’t you?
There was also a degree of respect for the audience. It was assumed that the people in the theater could use their imagination. They did not need a 20-minute sex scene to know that Bogart and Bergman were having a physical relationship. The audience was treated like adults, rather than teenagers. Hollywood often relied on high-brow culture in their films, even though their audience was mostly working class. People read more and they were expected to know about classic stories and characters from Western culture.

How can a religion be one of “peace” if it is a religion that has zero tolerance for those belonging to other religions? How can a religion of “peace” order its followers to subdue people of other religions or kill them? How can a religion of “peace” be one of peace if it refuses to co-exist with other religions? How is a religion a religion of “peace” when their bible, the Quran, contains some 500 verses that speak of their God, Allah’s, hatred for non-Muslims? How can a religion of “peace” not give the same rights to women as it gives to men? How can a religion of “peace” allow men to beat their wives for disobedience? How can a religion of “peace” condone the taking of women as sex slaves? How can a religion of “peace” allow the raping of non-Muslim women? How can a religion of “peace” condone the killing of gay men and women? How can a religion of “peace” condone “Jihad”, the calling for a holy war as to spread the religion of Islam? How can a religion of “peace” be one of peace when it encourages terrorism in the name of its God, “Allah”? How can a religion of “peace” be not a facilitator of democracy? I ask, how can a religion of “peace” be a religion when its belief system is one of widespread violence?
Excuse me, but touting a war against whites and randomly executing them on the streets is the very essence of terror. It is intended to make white Fresnians afraid to go out of their houses and be in public spaces where they may be gunned down. The goal of terrorism is to change the way people feel and behave.
And when it is done in the name of Allah, it is Islamic terror.
Obviously this is a follower of Louis Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam. Farrakhan has been spreading this racist Islamic crap for decades.

The idea that this horrifying documentary, which features the audio of a baby being dismembered and killed, is fair to both sides, is ridiculous…
HBO has basically produced a snuff film.
The upshot is that sanctuary cities and states are essentially a new confederacy rising in the midst of a formerly United States.
And, once again, Democrats are fomenting a civil war.

I would prefer to see us acknowledge openly that today we, who are judges rather than members of Congress, are imposing on a half-century-old statute a meaning of “sex discrimination” that the Congress that enacted it would not have accepted. This is something courts do fairly frequently to avoid statutory obsolescence and concomitantly to avoid placing the entire burden of updating old statutes on the legislative branch…
So says the so-called ‘judge’ Richard Posner.
Posner’s theory of statutory interpretation, then, is really a theory of judicial usurpation of Congress’s Article I powers. Article I, let’s recall, states that “All legislative powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives.” So yes, as a rule the “entire burden” of updating old statutes is indeed on the legislative branch. Congress has consistently declined the opportunity to add sexual orientation to the list of protected classes under Title VII, and judges have no authority to exercise legislative authority in Congress’s place.
