This is nothing new. PETA insisting that pets should be called companions has been around long enough to have been parodied decades ago. For that matter, the relationship of owner to pet can be interesting even aside from ideology. The New England SF Association, in its club newsletter Instant Message (which we use to trade with) had a cat census that included the cats and their slaves. This had nothing to do with PETA.

If only they were as nice to unborn humans.

Some how, I do not imagine this list was made with the same seriousness as PETA's screeching.

I'm sure you're correct. I assumed (as a cat owner myself) that referring to the owners as the cats' slaves was a commentary of the attention we shower on our cats Elizabeth got our a lot of cat toys over the years, and there were also the catnip mice we sometimes got from a friend at the IUSFC Christmas-New Year's party in Bloomington. (The cats loved those.)

Yesterday's Democrat Iowa Caucus brings to mind a saying attributed to Stalin.

I have seen the first partial release of the Dem Iowa Caucus votes and so far they are voting for:
1. A queer 2 A commie 3. A con artist/counterfeit 4. A crook
in that order. Unbelievable that the country has come to this.
I want to see the Family Research Council or a similar organization start running commercials showing Pete Butt Gig kissing his "spouse."

No one, homosexual or not, should run for office when their name includs the words: Peter and butt.

I have to admit. It is rather disgusting. Couldn't they just high-five?  |

I want that shown in every State in the Union. It might get him some votes in California, Oregon and New York. But I have not doubt that places like Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Ohio, Maryland, Virginia, Montana and New Mexico would look elsewhere for a president. I do not mention the South as it would go even redder if this ass was the Dem presidential candidate.

No, they couldn't high-five. Battygeek no doubt intended to do this all along if he had a good excuse. This is what libertinist Demagogues are.

It seems it is what leftists do.
The good old days of Brezhnev and Honecker. I wonder if Butt Gig also wears a gold Rolex?

Here is confirmation that my desire to have commercials showing Peter Butt Gig kissing his "spouse" is necessary. I didn't know thatI can't believe a caucus voter doesn't know about Butt Gig's predilections in this regard. But we are talking about a Dimocrat. |

Yes, that was truly amazing. She had decided to support Battygeek, but was unaware of the homosexuality that he flaunts regularly on the campaign trial. On the other hand, maybe this is one reason he fares poorly with black voters, who tend to oppose libertinism (though they're as likely to engage in it as anyone else is).

I just read that Orson Bean -- the father-in-law of Andrew Breitbard, who introduced him to conservatism via a copy of Rush Limbaugh's The Way Things Ought to Be -- has died. It seems Bean was unusual in that he was blacklisted as a Communist in the 50s (though he insists he only had a Communist girlfriend, which sounds like something we've discussed before) for a short while -- and then later was effectively blacklisted as a conservative (he even appeared at Tea Party events).
He probably would be most familiar to people of my age for his regular appearances on To Tell the Truth, although I also remember him from a first-season of Twilight Zone. The link is:

Yes, I probably remember Bean best from To Tell the Truth. A tragic accident. I don't know the exact circumstances. But apparently one car or truck hit him and then a second one finished him off by running right over him. Both vehicles remained at the scene. Was he drunk and walking in the middle of the road at night or something like that? I don't know. But I hope he didn't feel any pain.

What kind of a bubble do you have to live in to not know that Pete Butt-gig is a homosexual and is “married” to another man? But then we are talking about a Democrat voter.
“I don’t want anyone like that in the White House.” She otherwise seems like a sensible lady. Maybe. As one commenter noted:
Again, I think we all know that the Democrat Party is much like an inkblot test for many on that side of the aisle. They see in it what they want. If this lady is in her 60’s or 70’s, she may believe it’s still the party of Harry Truman.
One commenter writes:
That’s probably true. What is almost certainly true is that your typical Democrat voters knows (or thinks he knows) what the Republican are.
Another commenter writes:
Unless she was a plant, the conversation this woman is having with the apologist in that video would have made sense in 1965 or so. But, good god, could anyone genuinely be ignorant of the basic Zeitgeist and content of today’s Democrat Party? It’s hard to believe.
And there is likely some truth to what this commenter writes:

Some years ago, a black preacher in Louisville (Kevin Cosby) was criticized for allowing Anne Northup to speak at his church. He noticed that a lot of blacks (and others) seemed to think it was still the 1960s in terms of race relations. (One clear piece of evidence that it isn't the same is the virtual disappearance of the concept of a "token Negro". This was quite common 50 years ago, such as an ad I once saw that had a long line of kids (maybe 50 or so) -- and one was black.) I call such people "Rip Van Winkle liberals" because it's as if they fell asleep then and just woke up and don't realize that it's a very different society.

The link is to another hilarious and on-the-mark piece by David Cole. It's really about racismFor years, I have been preaching that smoldering anti-white, anti-Christian hatred is behind much, perhaps most, of the leftist attack upon the West, but few have believed me. Cole says it in a much more entertaining way. |

Having grown up in the 60s South I think I can speak with more competence than most Yankees or Westerners. Yes, there was racism in the south, but the same racism was also prevalent in the north and west. Boston, Baltimore, Chicago, Kansas City, Denver, Oakland, and Los Angeles were torn apart by race riots and police deemed them "no go zones" long before Moslems moved in.
The tilt from the left has as much to do with a perverse form of nostalgia as it does with opposition to western virtues. The current view of the 50s and 60s is the it was a heroic time for the social justice warrior. They are trying to reinvent that sad time to justify their constant and unrelenting attacks on the virtues of the west. The effort to recreate a Tim e when, in their view, people were charged with peace, freedom and the commune have failed. With the exception of the ANTIFA crazies fewer and fewer people are subscribing to the socialist/communist/progressive trope. The economic boat has left the dock leaving them behind.

Ooof. That's a very interesting argument, even compelling in places. It might also make one wonder if this has anything do with rural southern poverty that existed for a very long time -- during which white as well as black southerner often went barefoot (in some cases by preference). One consequence of that here has been an affliction Cole didn't mention -- hookworm. They generally enter through bare feet.
Going barefoot can also be harmful in rice paddies. I think that's how people get liver flukes (carried by snails, hence snail fever), also known as schistosomiasis. I believe this is especially an East Asian problem.
