Endangered Species: WASPS

We’ve had this discussion before. The teabuggers are quick to insist that they are not racists. No they really aren’t. They can’t help it if the only rational people who can understand their deep fear that Barack is a African Muslim are old white farts. They really can’t.

And we do believe them. Right?

What has puzzled me is why they are so darned much against things like population control? Why so against small families? Or no families? They suggest that somehow this is un-American.

And from their point it is. They point to that “command” to “go forth and multiple” and in their literalist way, smirk, that that is how God wants it. Indeed? Or perchance, is there something more, shall we say, “self-serving” at work?

A suspicion that that may be the case comes from Tea Party Nation itself. In an e-mail to its loyal followers, it speaks of a massive conspiracy, composed of all the lefties and their friends, designed to, well, do read on:

What is keeping America’s fertility rate up are immigrants – both legal and illegal. There are those in America who are continuously attacking the family, bent on redefining marriage and have established anti-family government programs. This has led to downward pressure on our national total fertility rate. All of these actions are done in the name of various causes such as: reducing unwanted pregnancies, delaying child bearing to further career goals and even promoting childlessness and promoting adoption as a better option. Child bearing has become something distasteful to many women, an unwanted and painful experience to be avoided rather than embraced. All of these programs, ideals and ideologies are doing one thing and one thing only – reducing America core TFR to the point of no return. The White Anglo-Saxon Protestant (WASP) population in America is headed for extinction and with it our economy, well-being and survival as a uniquely America culture. This county is dying not because it is aging, it is dying because of infertility as public policy.

Catch the last couple lines? If whitey goes, so goes the economy, well-being and survival as a uniquely American culture.  I mean wow. I mean don’t beat around the bush! Apparently those of brown, black, yellow, red, persuasions are incapable of sustaining an economy, a good life, or survival itself. One wonders how all those ancient civilizations have managed to endure down through the ages in their various ethnic trappings?

The orders have been issued: Breed you white ladies, breed! Life depends on it. And God® wants you to! [h/t to Joe.My.God.]

If there was any doubt about it, well, there never really was. The GOP and their masters, corporate America are in full assault on labor and its unions. We reported a few days ago about a Wisconsin professor was hit with a FIA to determine if he were engaged in any way with the unions in Wisconsin. Now a uber conservative think tank in Michigan has sent the same request to three professors who teach labor relations in universities in the state.

And in Wisconsin, a uber conservative wacko is running to unseat the “left-leaning” Chief Justice of the Wisconsin Supreme Court, calling her a “bitch” and that he will “destroy her.” He is being backed by Tony Perkins and the Family Research Council, which is organizing all the usual lying ads claiming that their toady will “keep politics out the Supreme Court.”

News Alert: this is not news. I don’t lie, but of course Foxy Noise does, and they are pretty darn honest in one respect. They aren’t afraid to admit it when smoozing with other like-minded uber wacko rightists on a rightist sponsored cruise ship vacation. Fox Washington Managing Editor, admitted he pushed a wildly speculative notion that Obama was a socialist during the run up to the 2008 election. He called it “mischievous speculation” that he personally thought was “far-fetched”.

All is fair in the name of winning an election it seems. And it’s not as if the Fox followers would know. They aren’t much for thinking for themselves beyond deciding on pizza versus fried chicken for dinner.

John McCain seems to have taken a page from his buddy Newt the garden slug. The both operate on the “whatever that black dude says, I say the opposite.” Case in point. A mere 19 months ago, said John of Sleazy  was supping with Moammar Qaddafi at his “ranch” in Libya and calling the meeting Interesting and Qaddafi the same. Now of course, he wants the President to “take him out.” [I can’t make the link for some reason, but it comes from The New Republic blog, and is entitled “That’s it, I’m never inviting John McCain to my house!”

Sarah, oh Sarah, life without you will never be as fun. Foxy had the Quitter on to talk about Libya. She is all for takin’ out that madman, how she doesn’t venture. But in a prized moment for us Sarah watchers, she pondered whether Libya was a war, an intervention or a squirmish. And I dare ya to refudiate that!

What’s on the stove: T-bones, salad, and parmesan roasted potatoes.

Well, it remains true, truth as they say, is stranger than fiction, and Merika is just the gol durned funniest place! I kid you not, and other such terms. Oh boy have we got the dishiest stuff today!

I guess one must conclude that the religious right is just the location where we can find the closeted gay community these days. There seems a never-ending list of homophobic bible thumping “ministers” all doin’ the nasty behind not so closed doors.

Anyway, one George Alan Rekers, co-founder with our good homophobe Lou Dobson, of the Family Research Council, was caught with his baggage hanging out in a Miami airport.

Seems Mr. Rekers, or Pastor Rekers, I should say, was accompanied by a lad hired from Rentboy.com a rather salacious site, noted for pairing youngish “men” with, well who ever is willing to pay. Said “Lucian” accompanied said minister through a two-week vacation in Europe.

Now, Mr. Rekers denies any hanky panky, in mock shock we are told, declaring that although he did hire the boy from Rentboy, he had no idea that it was THAT kind of site. (Odd since the description of said lad was to say the least, rather descriptive of his, err,  nether parts.)

In any case, Mr. Rekers, swears to God, that said Lucian was only there to “carry his baggage” made difficult for Mr. Rekers to do since a surgery hampered his ability in that way. Which all led to this lovely quip over at Unreasonable Faith:

He needed help “lifting his luggage,” if you know what I mean. It replaces “hiking the Appalachian Trail” and “wide stance” as the newest euphemism created by a sex scandal.

I mean, it’s a wacky world out there folks. I can imagine the activity going on at the FRC. Oh to be a fly on the wall!

There was a reversal of poles the other day. Don’t know if you noticed or not, but it sure happened. This is near enough to make one’s head implode, and dear, wouldn’t that be messy?

Speaking of gays in the closet–Lindsey Graham (no we did not say that!)  and his stooge friends Johnny and Joey, are at it again, pretending to be grownups and messin’ around in adult conversation.

Johnny and Joey have been arguing that, why heck, American citizens, if suspected of terrorist behavior should be denied their rights. Yep, you heard that right–they should not be Mirandized, but should be turned over the military immediately, for, shall we say, more “serious” interrogation?

Now, we know why Johnny is spouting like a horses ass, since of course his precious door label of S E N A T O R is in jeopardy, but Joey? Have we forgotten the life and times of average Jews in Berlin in the 30’s and 40’s? HUH?  And, well, Lindsey, I guess we KNOW what your issue is, we just don’t know which one of them is your man–unless both.

The cold day in hell when something Glenn Beck said would be sane? Well, it’s that day folks. He DISAGREED with said three simpletons.

Well, didn’t ya just know this would happen. The nutso Rethugs have NO idea where the idea came about that THEY were associated with such a blatantly wrong-headed chant of drill baby drill. Nope, no idea. Um…maybe some candidate or other, some minor local election might have used it, but nope, nope, not a REPUBLICAN phrase, of that you can be sure.

Was bound to happen ya know. Short memories, or more likely short minds. But happily, the good editors of the HuffPo, do recall, and do have the footage and do have the transcripts. Ain’t modern technology just grand?

It might just be that the Rethugs won’t find all that mid term election business quite as a much a walk in the park as they had assumed. And worse, we hear tell that the Prez is interested in pushing immigration reform THIS year, and that can hardly make any Rethug begging for a Latino bump feel very happy.

Michael Brown oozed out from under his rock to attempt to resurrect himself (meaning he has a book he is trying to sell). While out, he tried to put off his general irrelevance to anything in the world by ‘splainin’ to us that he has the real lowdown on the gulf catastrophe.

According to Brownie, who knows all about bein’ a douche, the president deliberately waited to step in on the tragedy of the oil spill. As the waste product sees it,  

“this is an opportunity for a president who wants to bankrupt the coal industry, and basically get rid of the oil and gas industry, to shut down offshore drilling.” 

Now, get back under that rock Brownie.

And now to prove that garbage pickers can find a jewel at times:

The Los Suns did a great thing the other night. It may seem like a small thing, but it was, trust me, great. They gave us reason to hope that this country is not basically too far down the rat hole to retrieve. Read it and be proud.

Some days, well, this is how you feel, and it’s okay.  With a H/T to Elizabeth at Telling Secrets:

. . . . I am hellishly angry; I think so-and-so is a swine; I am tortured by worry about this or that; I am pretty certain that I have missed my chances in life; this or that has left me feeling terribly depressed. But nonetheless here I am like this, feeling both bloody and bloody-minded, and I am going to stay here for ten minutes. You are most unlikely to give me anything. I know that. But I am going to stay here for ten minutes nonetheless. Amen.
Harry Williams.

And that’s how it is today. Have a good one.
