This liberal/progressive vision of sex is simply bizarre. It reveals a male-female (or male-male, or female-female, or transgender-male, or whatever– you get the drift) relationship that is barren of feelings, of intimacy, or even basic friendship. It is a mirror into the liberal/progressive mindset that trusts no one and sees trauma, offense, and microaggressions lurking around every corner.”
The Faustian Bargain of the Left (“The Government will let you do whatever you want in the bedroom without consequences, so long as you submit to complete Government control out of the bedroom.”) has come full circle. If leftists were more familiar with the Parable of the Scorpion, they would have seen this coming.
Speaking of progressive leftist nutjobs who use their personal neuroses as an excuse to deprive others of liberty, some poor widdow snowfwake in Connecticut called 911 to report that a flea market was selling Confederate flags and Third Reich paraphernalia.
I had a confrontation with a neighbor over my dog, he and his wife were walking down the alley behind my house and the dog was with me in my garage. The dog barked at them (still in the garage with me). The neighbor confronted me and said I need to keep my on a leash according to the local ordinance. Bluntly I explained to him that we lived in the county and that the county had no such ordinance. He said I was being rude and that was against the law, I told him (in not a very nice way) what he could do with his opinion. All this happening while he is standing in my driveway. Bottom line is he called 911 to report me being rude to him. The deputy showed up ( I knew him) and told me that he had explained to the neighbor that there was no law against rudeness nor one requiring a dog to be on a leash in the county.
The neighbor is a professor at Ole Miss and a transplant from Newfoundland. I guess I now understand the snowflake effect.
“The Tyranny of the Mentally Ill”
Fine phrase for the current state of the country.
Meanwhile in important news; the current Bundeskanzler has achieved where a prior Reichkanzler failed; Greece is now a German vassal-state and economic-colony, and Germany has chained it’s population to the grindstone.
Thus demonstrating that the EU is a failed-state.
Anti-rape laws are now a left / right issue?
Blech. That makes me sad.
R.J. Moeller writes at PJMedia about the prophecies in the writings of Fyodor Dostoevsky concerning the left’s “war on the family, the replacement of the old theistic religions for a new (thoroughly secular) one, and the extermination of millions of citizens on behalf of ‘the cause.'”
Moeller states that “describing the underlying motivations of the young, radical, rabble-rousing character Peter Verkhovensky in The Devils, Dostoevsky said:”
The woman who went to the flea market and was stunned to insensibility by the Confederate flags for sale had no other recourse than to call the gestapo and have the offensive “hate speech” stamped out and to force the cretin selling such vile stuff to suffer greatly for disturbing her state-protected sense of dignity.
Strange to label such things as “romanticism” but that is what it is in her sentimental bubble world where seldom is heard a discouraging word and the state will slay the offender should there be one.
Ah, fascism.
mike,
These aren’t anti-rape laws. They are “if you fail to sign a consensual sex contract before engaging in mutual sexual activity, you might be a rapist” laws.
The only left/right about this is the right would equip the woman with a gun and teach her to aim at a potential rapist’s genitals.
Maybe the snowflake in Connecticut could put up a sign in his/her own yard, saying, “Just because it’s legal doesn’t make it right.” Then the Nazis could come over and vandalize it (“F*ck your God! We love Hitler!”). Or, better yet, they could call 911 and have the Thought Police arrest him because the sign offended their sensibilities.
Either you have freedom of speech or you don’t. And if you have it, you occasionally have to see some things that creep you out. Whether it’s a CSA battle flag or a swastika, or (if you’re religious, or just homophobic) a same-sex couple walking down the street holding hands. That’s the price we pay. Freedom ain’t free.
As for the Faustian bargain, that’s something that tyrants have always realized. If you protect people’s right to sexual freedom of choice, they won’t notice, and maybe won’t even care, when you restrict all of their other freedoms.
Yes, mike.
Because liberals call for raping conservative women.
Because, since liberals insist women never lie about rape, liberals support rapists like Bill Clinton.
And because liberals support lying about rape to smear and attack conservatives.
Of course, rape is a crime of power, and all liberals like mikey care about is power. Mikey supports rape if it puts Democrats in power.
Right on, Tom.
Or to put it differently, it’s always amusing how willing people are to sell out their real rights with actual Constitutional protections for fake made-up ones.
One must ask: if someone won’t respect your real rights, what would make you think they’ll continue to respect your fake ones?
Jason Teal, president of the Meriden-Wallingford NAACP, told the paper the issue is “difficult because it’s on private property and it’s considered free speech.”
So now free speech is “difficult” When has is ever been easy, and when has it ever not been needed? I wonder how Jason Teal would feel if someone tried to censor him.
@#3, Ted B. Spot on. The Germans have always had the most economic control of the EU. The Euro is nothing more than an expanded (and weakened) Reich mark (oops, I mean Deutschmark). Kohl thru Merkiel have had more economic power in Europe than a previous chancellor, whose name I can’t mention for fear of melting a snowflake.
Don Corleone was correct, you can steal more with a briefcase than a gun.
A bunch of Brussels and Berlin bureaucrats have accomplished what a Panzer Division and 5 Infantry Divisions failed to accomplish;, Greece subjugated with International acquiescence.
Deutschland, Deutschland über alles, Über alles in der Welt.
In Germany’s defense, they took in East Germany which was economically a bottomless pit into which you throw Deutchmarks, managed to fill the pit, and now leads Europe economically again.
You never know, they might teach Greece a thing or two about real economics.
There is a huge difference between actual rape and “failure to obtain consent in the precise form specified by a Government bureaucracy,” but littlelettermike is far too stupid to understand the distinction.
“As for the Faustian bargain, that’s something that tyrants have always realized. If you protect people’s right to sexual freedom of choice, they won’t notice, and maybe won’t even care, when you restrict all of their other freedoms.”
The 98% of us recognize the behavior of the 2-3%er national socialists/communists, no different than their predecessors of nearly eighty years ago.
Basically “my feels” > “your rights”. I wonder how they’re going to feel if they finally get their way and the state can actually punish you thoughtcrime and they inevitably wind up being targeted. Desires for laws and policies like this Communist bullshit never works out for the people who want them unless you’re part of the 1%.
I wouldn’t just say we’re a tyranny of the mentally ill so much as we’re a tyranny of the WEAK. Look at how pathetic, weak-willed, and spineless all these Leftists are. I’ve learned that there’s little goodness to be found in the weak-willed and pathetic people of the world. They have nothing but spite and envy in them. We’ve become a tyranny of the weak in which the pathetic and spineless bully anyone they can, /especially/ anyone they view as being stronger or more powerful than them and therefore incurring their envy.
“Wrath is cruel, and anger is outrageous; but who is able to stand before envy?”
Proverbs 27:4
And people say the Bible is nothing but fairy tales.
I think Orwell had an inkling of the future: Junior Anti-Sex League (1984).
One thing for certain – feminism is not about what it claimed to be about: strong women able to make their way in the world on their own merits and make their own decisions. None of the TV moms from the 50s (June Cleaver, et al) even came close to the helpless neuroses that afflicts some of today’s womyn.
I guess this is why men under 35 say that hanging out with their buds, playing video games and masterbating to porn is preferable to the “hassles” of dating.
mike with the little m,
The consent forms that are being pushed in colleges, not only violate privacy, but they set back TRUE feminism 50 years. A man must get written consent from a woman to show that she is consenting to sex. So much for sexual freedom. I guess women are such snowflakes that they can’t articulate no well. Furthermore, I just saw a poster where both the male and female were drunk, but it only said that the female couldn’t consent, so the male was charged with rape. This is equality? I hate that is people like you who are infantilizing my sex back to when we were considered idiots and property. And the biggest problem is that you think you are doing it for our own good.
The West Germans were willing to subsidize former-East Germany after unification as Ein Volk, ein Reich. Greece is merely lebensraum to be exploited.
In my past I worked on a crisis line. Some of the folks I spoke to told me they were rapped while passed out/took advantage of etc. That shit is real and it can change some folks for life.
It’s a sad thing. Affirmative Consent won’t stop all of that, but at least it raises awareness, gets people talking about this and hopefully gets 1 or 2 folks to think before taking “advantage” of a situation.
I don’t see what this has to do with communism and I really can’t see the harm here. There is no rights violated, there is nothing in this that suggests a left/right divide. Yet folks here are angry about this and for some reason folks here feel this is imposing something on them.
Unless I am missing something, your reaction defies logic and is just odd .
“gets 1 or 2 folks to think before taking “advantage” of a situation.”
Decent men don’t even THINK about taking advantage.
What is it with all you libs not understanding the concept “bad people do bad things”? Its tired and trite.
Teach these women to defend themselves and make good choices instead of having to sign a mockery of a marriage contract before engaging in sex.
littlelettermike can’t understand why conservatives want the Government out of our bedrooms.
#20. “lebensraum”. Made me giggle. I know, it’s wrong, but there it is.
littlelettermike has been indoctrinated by the militant feminists.
Whacko feminists consider all penetration to be rape, even when it is consensual. The woman is a supine receiver for male lust gratification after which the smelly bastard falls asleep and she marinates in his body fluids.
The female is never horny or an active, willing participant. If she gets laid, she must be given the consideration of having it all proceed according to her wishes.
Rape was once a death penalty crime. But then it was stretched and molded into a definition which covers a man telling a woman that she is attractive and the woman feels raped by the assault on her gender.
Why aren’t women frigid enough to prevent predatory perverts from getting up to bat in the first place? Maybe they should look into a taser bra or keeping a scorpion in their pants.
This whole theme about consensual and notarized foreplay makes one wonder just how weak-minded women have become.
But, they have littlelettermike running defense for them.
When you answer phones on the rape line, you are not talking to all women in the general population. Just pass a law making certain places “no rape zones” and then celebrate your incredible prowess and ingenuity in ridding the world of the scourge of rape. Be sure to get ISIS on your advisory panel.
As I posted above, Dostoevsky had littlelettermike pegged: “He’s a kind, well-meaning boy, and awfully sensitive…But let me tell you, the whole trouble stems from immaturity and sentimentality! It’s not the practical aspects of socialism that fascinate him, but its emotional appeal – its idealism –what we may call its mystical, religious aspect – its romanticism…and on top of that, he just parrots other people.”
I am a very long time reader of this blog, all the way back to the very beginning. It is one place I come to everyday and I enjoy it very much. I feel like I know all the regular commenters as I have read their words so often. I never comment on any of the blogs I read, I guess I am a little reserved, but I just had to tell you Heliotrope that I have been going through some things and a little down but your line about the taser bra and keeping a scorpion in their pants made me laugh out loud!
Mike is a white knight
RD in Alabama,
Glad you found some smiles. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
