McCain and America

What a great speech by McCain. He talked of things Democrats don't understand. Things like patriotism, things like personal responsibility, things like individuality.

Democrats may not understand these things, but many who THINK they are Democrats because the party was ONCE great, or because they've been brainwashed into not thinking at all, DO believe in these things. There's none of them on the left and McCain made clear (yet again) that they are the very stuff of the right.

As you know, I am not supporting McCain at this time. I prefer Guiliani. But my differences with McCain are not in vision but in policy. In other words, Hillary Rodham-Clinton and Barack H. Obama do not believe in personal responsibility, they believe in a welfare state where riches are entitlements that come with no responsibility at all. Ms. Rodham-Clinton made exactly this point in his "Happy Holiday" ad in which she sees the people as children and herself as Santa Claus giving all the "nice children" free healthcare and better schools and more money.

Democrats do not believe in patriotism. They don't consider themselves Americans. They believe themselves to be "citizens of the world." Patriotism scares them for the Democrat sees it as "xenophobia," perfectly exemplified by B. Obama's refusal to show the flag and the national anthem honor at his gatherings and the only-during-election-year wearing of American flag pins by the leftists.

Democrats do not believe in individuality. They only believe in "being yourself" so long as "yourself" is exactly like them. If you think differently you must be stifled for "hate speech," if you're black and you don't vote Democrat you're attacked as an "Uncle Tom" or worse.

This race is really between America and the anti-Americans and I am convinced that the vast majority of Americans -- even those who mindlessly vote Democrat -- love this country and recognize it's greatness and that greatness needs to be defended.

So, if the nominee were McCain...or Giuliani...or Mitt...or Huckabee...or...Thompson, I'd proudly support them knowing I'm supporting America and the values that made America great.

There hasn't been a remotely liberal "media" for thirty years. In any other period...the NYTimes for instance, was one of the biggest pushes behind the war and behind the bogus Whitewater nonsense. The media is utterly corrupted and "corporate." They care nothing about anything but the bottom line and generally lean very strongly to the right. If you hear anyone accepting the point about the liberal media, you know you are dealing with a liar or a political naif. It's as discredited, tiresome and threadbare as the rest of the pathetic crap everyone in America has stopped listining to. Stupid repetition, to "catupult the propaganda" works very well for a while, then it becomes extremely counter productive...like your drivel is now. It's why America hates you.

3) I much prefer the great lessons taught in the Bible than I do the secular humanist religion which says that only YOU are important, that all answers come from "being yourself" and the right thing to do is what "feels good."

So is that why you are divorced?

Anti-war veterans' group: War crimes are 'encouraged

At an event in Watertown, New York on Saturday, members of Iraq Veterans Against War charged that war crimes against civilians were encouraged by unit commanders.

"The killing of innocent civilians is policy," said veteran Mike Blake. "It's unit policy and it's Army policy. It's not official policy, but it's what's happens on the ground everyday. It's what unit commanders individually encourage."

Veteran Matt Howard concurred: "These decisions are coming from the top down," Howard said. "The tactics that we use, the policies that the military engages, will create situations, create dynamics, create -- ultimately -- atrocity."

Blake and Howard were among four veterans speaking at Watertown's Different Drummer Cafe, in a preliminary event to the 'Winter Soldier' gathering scheduled in Washington, D.C. in March. Named after the 1971 event in which John Kerry read testimony from soldiers on atrocities they had committed, this year's Winter Soldier will feature Iraq War veterans speaking about war crimes they committed or witnessed.

In Watertown, veteran Jon Turner blamed himself as well as the orders he was given. "It was my decision," Turner said. "I made it. Now I have to live with the fact I see someone's eyes screaming at me after I shot them."

The economy is just fine:

January 21, 2008
Stocks Plunge Worldwide on Fears of a U.S. Recession
By MARK LANDLER and HEATHER TIMMONS
FRANKFURT — Fears that the United States is in a recession reverberated around the world on Monday, sending stock markets from Frankfurt to Bombay into a tailspin and puncturing the hopes of many investors that Europe and Asia will be able to sidestep an American downturn.

On a day when United States markets were closed in observance of Martin Luther King’s Birthday, the world’s eyes were trained nervously on the United States. Investors reacted with what many analysts described as panic to the multiplying signs of weakness in the American economy.

Shares of banks led the decline in many countries, underscoring that the subprime crisis continues to hobble the global financial system. On Monday, a big German state bank, WestLB, said it would report a loss of $1.4 billion in 2007 because of its exposure to deteriorating mortgage assets.

“There is indeed some panic,” said Thomas Mayer, the chief European economist at Deutsche Bank in London. “What we’re seeing, in Europe and Asia, is that the markets are pricing in a recession.”

The sell-off was evenly distributed from West to East, with indexes plunging in London, Paris, Frankfurt, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Seoul and Bombay. The Frankfurt Stock Exchange’s Dax index plummeted 7.2 percent, its steepest one-day decline since Sept. 11, 2001. The 7.4 percent drop in Bombay’s Sensex index was the second-worst single-day tumble in its history.

Stocks followed suit when markets opened in the Western Hemisphere. Canadian stocks were down 4 percent in early afternoon, and a key market index in Brazil was off almost 6 percent.

And trading Monday in stock index futures, while light and not always a reliable indicator, pointed to a substantial decline when markets reopen on Wall Street. Futures in the Dow Jones industrial average were down 520 points, or more than 4 percent.

Investors were scarcely comforted by President Bush’s announcement on Friday of an economic stimulus package of as much as $145 billion. Mr. Bush’s “shot in the arm,” economists said, did not persuade the rest of the world that the United States will escape a recession, or that it will either.

The turmoil will put even more pressure on the European Central Bank, which has charted a different course from the Federal Reserve by warning that it might raise interest rates to curb inflation, rather than cut them, as the Fed has, to ward off a recession. Mr. Mayer and others predict the bank will be forced into an about-face in coming months.

While Asia has been less buffeted by the credit crisis than Europe, the Bank of China now appears vulnerable, with analysts predicting it will have to write down the value of its American mortgage holdings.

Investors in Asia have been in a state of denial about a possible recession in the United States, said Adrian Mowat, JPMorgan’s chief strategist in Asia. But now, he said, “there’s no debate about it.” The only question, he added is “how long and deep” a recession might be.

In Japan, which may be facing a new recession of its own, most indexes were off by more than 3 percent.

The angst about the United States belies the popular theory that Europe and Asia are not as dependent on the American economy as they once were, in part because they trade more with each other. The theory, known as decoupling, has been used to explain why economies like China and Germany have kept growing robustly, even as the United States has slowed.

“The market is not at all convinced about decoupling, and I think the market is probably right,” Mr. Mayer said. “When you look at it more closely, we’re suffering from the same issues.”

The housing market, after a long boom, is cooling off in several countries, notably Britain, Spain and Ireland. That will depress the growth rate in those countries, which are among Europe’s economic pace-setters.

European banks continue to make unwelcome disclosures about write-downs of mortgage assets, even if the losses are not as dire as those reported by Citigroup or Merrill Lynch. Banks loans across Europe are being constrained, according to a recent survey by the European Central Bank.

German banks, in particular, are still haunted by the American subprime mess. WestLB’s troubles came a week after a German property lender, Hypo Real Estate, lost one-third of its market value after it disclosed higher-than-expected losses from the credit crisis.

WestLB, after warning that its 2007 losses would be more than twice its earlier estimate, said its key shareholders, the state of North Rhine-Westphalia and regional savings bank, had agreed to inject to inject 2 billion euros ($2.9 billion) of fresh capital into the bank to stabilize it.

Also on Monday, Commerzbank warned it would make additional write-downs in the fourth quarter of 2007. This caught analysts off guard, since Commerzbank has been fairly upbeat about its exposure.

“The amounts are not so significant,” said Simon Adamson, a banking analyst at CreditSights, an independent research firm in London. “It was more the way the market was caught by surprise.”

Shares of Commerzbank fell 6.8 percent, Deutsche Bank fell 6.2 percent, Société Générale of France 7.7 percent, BNP Paribas 8 percent and the ING Group of the Netherlands was off 8.2 percent.

But the damage extended to the shares of energy companies like BP and Royal Dutch Shell, which dropped on worries that a global economic slowdown would cramp the demand for oil and gas.

“The problem is more deeply rooted in anxiety about the global economy than it is in Germany,” said Boris Boehm, an asset manager at Nordinvest in Hamburg. “People are really afraid. But it’s a good thing because fear, along with action, gets the market to its proper level quickly.”

Those jitters extended to fast-growing markets, like China, and those, like India, that are thought to be relatively insulated from the United States. Shanghai’s Composite Index closed down 5.1 percent, while Hong Kong’s Hang Seng fell 5.5 percent, also the most since Sept. 11, 2001.

Emerging markets have sagged recently, and Monday’s rout may signal a basic shift in sentiment, analysts said. Mr. Mowat of JPMorgan said that it did not matter whether markets were separated by geography or asset class because, he said, “we trade together in corrections.”

No matter how many bridges, roads, and power plants China builds, or how many new cars India sells, a downturn in the United States will ripple across Asia’s economies, experts said.

“If the United States consumer quits buying things, it is going to hurt in Asia,” said Deborah Schuller, an Asia regional credit officer for Moody’s Investors Service. She said most rated corporations there would be able to withstand a nine-month recession in the United States, but if it were to stretch to 12 months or more, there could be some serious problems.

Worries about China are adding to Asia’s uneasiness. Its private property market is in the midst of a shakeout, and scores of small developers have gone out of business. Chinese banks were hard hit on Monday, in part because they hold the bulk of Asia’s exposure to subprime mortgages.

In Japan, stock markets fell to their lowest levels in more than two years on concerns that an American recession could be accompanied by a home-grown one. The Nikkei 225 fell 3.9 percent.

Investors were unnerved by data from the Japanese Finance Ministry, which said that growth was slowing in five of the Japan’s economic regions. The Japanese economy has been weighed down by stagnant housing investment and a poor employment picture outside the major cities.

Australian stocks slid again on Monday, their tenth consecutive day of losses, and the country’s longest losing streak for more than 25 years. The S.& P./ASX 200 index dropped 2.9 percent as investors scrambled to get out of companies perceived to have high exposure to debt.

Allco Finance Group, a once-high-flying transport infrastructure fund that was part of the consortium that tried to buy Qantas Airways last year, was among the hardest hit, dropping over 35 percent.

In both Europe and Asia, there may be further shocks, as banks total the fallout from their investments in the American mortgage market. Deutsche Bank, for one, will report its annual results on Feb. 7.

“There’s an old saying in the market that banks lead us into recession and banks lead us out,” Mr. Boehm of Nordinvest said.

Democrats offer universal health care to voters like pederasts offer candy to children... little do the voters know how screwed they'll be:

Plato "Gorgias"

Now, seeing that there are these four arts, two attending on the body and two on the soul for their highest good; flattery knowing, or rather guessing their natures, has distributed herself into four shams or simulations of them; she puts on the likeness of some one or other of them, and pretends to be that which she simulates, and having no regard for men's highest interests, is ever making pleasure the bait of the unwary, and deceiving them into the belief that she is of the highest value to them. Cookery simulates the disguise of medicine, and pretends to know what food is the best for the body; and if the physician and the cook had to enter into a competition in which children were the judges, or men who had no more sense than children, as to which of them best understands the goodness or badness of food, the physician would be starved to death. A flattery I deem this to be and of an ignoble sort, Polus, for to you I am now addressing myself, because it aims at pleasure without any thought of the best. An art I do not call it, but only an experience, because it is unable to explain or to give a reason of the nature of its own applications. And I do not call any irrational thing an art; but if you dispute my words, I am prepared to argue in defence of them.

Cookery, then, I maintain to be a flattery which takes the form of medicine; and tiring, in like manner, is a flattery which takes the form of gymnastic, and is knavish, false, ignoble, illiberal, working deceitfully by the help of lines, and colours, and enamels, and garments, and making men affect a spurious beauty to the neglect of the true beauty which is given by gymnastic.


The DNC. Flattering voters and concentrating on appearances rather than realities since 1964.

Although in principle roughly 2/3 of Americans are supportive of the death penalty, they divide evenly in their preference of life imprisonment with no possibility of parole versus the death penalty as the better punishment in murder cases. Given these explicit alternatives, 47% prefer the death penalty and 48% life imprisonment.
http://www.democracyinaction.org/dia/organizations/ncadp/news.jsp?key=2733&t=


Seventy-seven percent of respondents said abortion should either be generally available, or available but with stricter limits than now. Just 22 percent said abortion should not be permitted.

That'll be the excuse, of course. "I used to be a liberal, that's why I divorced my wife." Most people can see through that bullshit and realize hey, it was you acting that way, not Generic Liberal, meaning that you're the narcissistic douchenozzle, and political philosophy has nothing to do with it.

Well, as Nietzsche would say: "Alterations in cerebrovascular regulation related to vascular oxidative stress have been implicated in the mechanisms of Alzheimer's disease (AD), but their role in the amyloid deposition and cognitive impairment associated with AD remains unclear. We used mice overexpressing the Swedish mutation of the amyloid precursor protein (Tg2576) as a model of AD to examine the role of reactive oxygen species produced by NADPH oxidase in the cerebrovascular alterations, amyloid deposition, and behavioral deficits observed in these mice. We found that 12- to 15-month-old Tg2576 mice lacking the catalytic subunit Nox2 of NADPH oxidase do not develop oxidative stress, cerebrovascular dysfunction, or behavioral deficits. These improvements occurred without reductions in brain amyloid-beta peptide (Abeta) levels or amyloid plaques. The findings unveil a previously unrecognized role of Nox2-derived radicals in the behavioral deficits of Tg2576 mice and provide a link between the neurovascular dysfunction and cognitive decline associated with amyloid pathology."

Here, Sayet gets confused about a phenomenon known as aging...some old farts become more conservative as they get old because they lose their mental agility and just want things to quit changing. This usually has nothing to do with politics but merely their personal habits, though senility is one cause of conservatism.

This is the price any conservative must pay when they stand up and publicly speak out against liberalism. Especially when it's from an ex-liberal like Evan.
See how they obsess over him night and day, attempting to bully him and his readers into silence. I've been to numerous liberal blogs, and you rarely see this kind of behavior from the right. The politics of personal destruction comes primarily from the left because it allows them to avoid debating the issues. They have now resorted to attacking his failed marriage, which nobody here knows about except Evan himself. Aside from that, he has never claimed to be a shining pillar of morality. He is just a man sharing his opinions and ideas. His speech rang true to a lot of people, and of course that is why all of these liberal vampires are here attacking him from dusk till dawn. What else could possibly motivate these people?

That is complete bull and we all know it. You're just another part of the liberal plague that trolls this site. I honestly don't blame him for responding to everything Dora says with sarcasm. She is a very spiteful person.

I apologize for my comments yesterday - truly and sincerely - I was at the end of what have been a very long and difficult week of change for me. Now that it's over, I want to share with you my story - the story of a man and his conversion to liberalism.
After a long, meaningful discussion with Dora and others last week, I sat down and pondered the origins of man and the universe next to a warm fire and a cup of tea. It wasn't long before I came to the realization that I have been living in dreamland for the last 10 years - since I sided with the conservative movement in college. Earth and all of it's inhabitants are the result of a few particles in space colliding, thus forming the planet, ecosystem, and all living beings. Of course that took millions of years, but it definitely makes sense now that I think about it with an open mind. I used to look at DNA and think, wow, that is the most amazing computer program I have ever seen. I set of instructions, or a blueprint, that can produce a self-aware conscious living being. I can't believe anyone would even consider the possibility of a creator over the big bang and evolution. What fools!
And then, I started rethinking morality. Morality is actually denying people the right to act upon the urges they have naturally - thus denying nature. Men should always act upon their urges and do as animals do in nature. The strongest bull should forcefully have their way with the cows, and protect his harem with violence. Animals kill each other without remorse for food - or any personal gain really, we should do the same. Survival of the fittest! After all, that is the true nature of man. I have seen the light, finally! I think I might go out and rape someone tonight. As long as I don't get caught, mind you - there is nothing wrong with the act - it happens in nature all the time - just like when a bull humps another bull, or a lion eats it's cubs. Nature! I mean, there is no punishment outside of what the government exacts on us. I can dispose of my conscience like any other liberal. It may take some time, but I can do it!
After those realizations, I discovered that the free market system doesn't work, and that the Government would indeed spend my money better than I could. Intelligent, compassionate liberals like Dora and Simes - they would spend our collective wealth better than we could ourselves. Besides, it would help the poor. It's not fair that anyone should have to earn money to gain the necessities of life - food, clothing, healthcare, transportation, education - because they are the entitled rights of all humanity.
I stopped homeschooling my children and sent them off to state funded institutions because I don't believe it's fair for my kids to be smarter than any other child in america. I also want them to grow up to be athiest liberals like me, so I will make sure they don't ever go to church or get exposed to any of those Christian fools or their silly misguided faith. I think we should all be equally educated. Equality is important - no matter what you do or how hard you work, we should equally divvy up wealth to all.
Wahoo - This is so invigorating! Now that I can stop repressing my natural urges - I can get together with my buddies in the evenings and visit the local brothel, and then follow it by killing a bum and smoking some weed. Maybe I'll visit my sister and have some raunchy sex. After all, incestuous intercourse is okay as long as you don't get anyone pregnant. And if she does, we can just kill the baby - no wait, it's not a baby - it's just a few cells. Be patient with me Dora, it will take me a while to change my vocabulary from my conservative past.
FINALLY I FEEL LIBERATED! Thanks go to you, Dora! You will make a great lawyer someday.

1) It's amazing how the leftists insist that no one should go into other people's bedrooms...then attack me for being divorced.

It's one of Alinsky's rules for radicals RULE 4: "Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules." If the rule is that every letter gets a reply, send 30,000 letters. You can kill them with this because no one can possibly obey all of their own rules. (This is a serious rule. The besieged entity's very credibility and reputation is at stake, because if activists catch it lying or not living up to its commitments, they can continue to chip away at the damage.)

They don't live up to their rules either... but they are never held accountable for having "no rules". They're societies parasites. Critics incapable of producing anything on their own.

2) The notion that leftists are smarter because they may (or may not) have more college degrees depends on whether what they are being taught in school is true.

Yes, they're into "credentially". It gives them the "appearance" of education and intelligence without the "reality". Like Al Gore's Nobel. Like their affirmative action candidates being "qualified" for their jobs.

Ask dora why less than 5% of America's lawyers are black despite reserved seats in every law school in the country. Ask her to explain how blacks have been discriminated against these past 44 years in law school admissions...

It showed up at the DNC debate last night with Hillary childish attacks on Obama's voting record in Illinois. I was rolling on the floor laughing at the self-inflicted implosion of the Democratic Party...

I can't wait to show up and vote for her.

No way! I quit that. My kids are learning how to put condoms on bananas in public schools right now.

justin, i've taken pity upon you, and I offer to you my patented smartening program.

1. Get a world map and put it on your wall. study it. look up things you discover ("what is this country called Seashells?"

2. Stop watching Fox News and start reading the Economist. A large part of it is free online. Also start reading other non-American media, like the BBC and the Times of London.

3. Watch David Attenborough's nature documentary "Life on Earth." Then keep watching more nature documentaries.

4. Stop going to church, and sleep instead. Sleep is so much better for you than church.

5. Start going to museums with your kids. If you don't live near a museum, or can't afford it, see below.

6. Propose this to your wife: you move to somewhere with very good schools, you send your kids to school (when they're old enough), and then your wife gets a job. Hopefully, she'll be keen on this.

7. With the extra money you will get from your wife's job, you can afford to go to museums with your kids and buy them fun books about dinosaurs and planets and stuff.

8. You'll also be able to afford a better diet. Is anyone in your family overweight? How much high fructose corn syrup do you eat? How much salad do you eat? If you love your family, you want them to be healthy.

9. Finally, with that extra money, go on a trip with your wife (jsut you two) out of the country. Somewhere where they don't speak English, and somewhere where you will see the country and meet the people. Like Costa Rica or Mexico or France or Italy.

See if that helps.

I don't think there is a psychological issue involved with my behavior - you sound just like a right wing freak. What do you base that on? What is wrong with my butt fetish? I am proud of it.

Jane said...

Michael Chabon (born May 24, 1963) is an American author and "one of the most celebrated writers of his generation," according to the The Virginia Quarterly Review.[2] His first novel, The Mysteries of Pittsburgh (1988), was published when Chabon was 25 and catapulted him to the status of literary celebrity. He followed it with a second novel, Wonder Boys (1995), and two short-story collections. In 2000, Chabon published The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay, a critically acclaimed novel that The New York Review of Books called his magnum opus; it won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 2001. His latest novel, The Yiddish Policemen's Union, was published in 2007 to enthusiastic reviews.

Amen my fellow liberal friend. I just got done giving my kids a lesson on sexual freedom. We went to one of the local bath-houses and watched the men have sex with each other. I think every child should not only watch, but also learn the tricks these skillful men have to teach. Then we talked about how Hillary is such an admirable woman for putting up with her husband long enough to get her elected to the white house. Then we went back in time and admired the skillful deception that President Clinton (my idol) employed when he questions what the meaning of "is" is. What a genius! What better role models for our children - I can't think of any - except for maybe Dora.

"Gee, I didn't know that" you were ALL such humble Platonists, like myself. ;-)

Plato, "Apology"

And here, O men of Athens, I must beg you not to interrupt me, even if I seem to say something extravagant. For the word which I will speak is not mine. I will refer you to a witness who is worthy of credit; that witness shall be the God of Delphi--he will tell you about my wisdom, if I have any, and of what sort it is. You must have known Chaerephon; he was early a friend of mine, and also a friend of yours, for he shared in the recent exile of the people, and returned with you. Well, Chaerephon, as you know, was very impetuous in all his doings, and he went to Delphi and boldly asked the oracle to tell him whether--as I was saying, I must beg you not to interrupt--he asked the oracle to tell him whether anyone was wiser than I was, and the Pythian prophetess answered, that there was no man wiser. Chaerephon is dead himself; but his brother, who is in court, will confirm the truth of what I am saying.

Why do I mention this? Because I am going to explain to you why I have such an evil name. When I heard the answer, I said to myself, What can the god mean? and what is the interpretation of his riddle? for I know that I have no wisdom, small or great. What then can he mean when he says that I am the wisest of men? And yet he is a god, and cannot lie; that would be against his nature. After long consideration, I thought of a method of trying the question. I reflected that if I could only find a man wiser than myself, then I might go to the god with a refutation in my hand. I should say to him, 'Here is a man who is wiser than I am; but you said that I was the wisest.' Accordingly I went to one who had the reputation of wisdom, and observed him--his name I need not mention; he was a politician whom I selected for examination--and the result was as follows: When I began to talk with him, I could not help thinking that he was not really wise, although he was thought wise by many, and still wiser by himself; and thereupon I tried to explain to him that he thought himself wise, but was not really wise; and the consequence was that he hated me, and his enmity was shared by several who were present and heard me. So I left him, saying to myself, as I went away: Well, although I do not suppose that either of us knows anything really beautiful and good, I am better off than he is,-- for he knows nothing, and thinks that he knows; I neither know nor think that I know. In this latter particular, then, I seem to have slightly the advantage of him. Then I went to another who had still higher pretensions to wisdom, and my conclusion was exactly the same. Whereupon I made another enemy of him, and of many others besides him.

He can't do that because he is incapable of saying, "Gee, I didn't know that." That would be too much like admitting that he feels inferior.

Yup, their self-esteem is so small and fragile that admitting they didn't know something would make them feel really bad about themselves.

had read some bad reviews of "Pan's Labyrinth," but based on your other suggestions, I've put it in my que to rent. I did read that Guillermo del Toro translated the the subtitles into English himself.

I saw it in the theaters, and I was so impressed.

There's nothing more sophisticated in my mind than fantasy fiction. I bet you like Cinderella and The Little Mermaid too! Those are two of my favorites.

Omg, Jeremy here completely missed the whole point of the movie -- i.e. criticizing torture and authoritarianism. The whole film is about Franco's repression and the inhumanity of giving people power in an authoritarian regime. "The Lives of Others" was very much on the same topic -- the people are regular people, but when you put them into an authoritarian system, where some have complete power with inpunity over others, people inevitably start acting like monsters.

Well, I'll admit that there were a few things that Niezsche didn't like about Christianity. It was mostly all that charity/love for his fellow man stuff that the secular humanists have extracted and turned into modern day social Gospel. That silly junk really turned Fred's stomach!

Hmmm. I also wonder why Fred got so upset to learn the G_d was dead? Why it would drive him to write soooo many polemical tracts

I see that without my firm hand on the tiller the place has descended into a very dismal exercise in middle school satire. The wingos, led by the touchingly childlike Justin, have decided they would attempt to lampoon The LIberal by playing out their own version of that noble animal. Good satire takes a complete and adult understanding of a subject and then by various devices seeks to reveal and display the flaws in that thing. These callow and inept lads stand that formula on its head and instead only expose and display the weakness of their simple minded understanding of the subject instead. And inevitably end up by satirizing the shallow and ignorant wingbat intellect and its failure to comprehend its subject. I'm appalled that the libs on here were so remiss in not nipping that tiresome inanity in the bud from the outset.

Jane said...

You lived in Spain in 1944, which is when the movie takes place?

In fact, the movie is more specifically about pro-Franco forces hunting the dwindling anti-Franco guerilla insurgents, and the extreme brutality Franco exhibited towards the insurgents.

It's actually a movie sympathizing with insurgents who fight against authoritarianism.

I forgot how really good it was.

Actually, the film was unabashedly anti-Franco and pro-insurgent, so that wasn't really a moral quandary in the movie. The Franco people were not sympathetic characters.

I'm a "realist" who's already escaped from one layrinth and isn't looking to get trapped in another.

What does that mean? Or is this the point in the argument where FJ retreats into drug-induced-like nonsense talk to obscure that he's lost the argument and has nothing else to say?

As Friedrich Nietzsche has said in explaining why old wingbats get so completely senile:
Individuals who are more conscientious—in other words, those with a tendency to be self-disciplined, scrupulous and purposeful—appear less likely to develop Alzheimer’s disease, according to a report in the October issue of Archives of General Psychiatry, one of the JAMA/Archives journals.

Conscientiousness refers to a person’s tendency to control impulses and be goal-directed, and is also known as will, work and dependability, according to background information in the article. It has been associated with a wide range of mental and physical disorders, disability and death, suggesting it may be important for maintaining overall health.

Robert S. Wilson, Ph.D., of Rush University Medical Center, Chicago, and colleagues studied 997 older Catholic nuns, priests and brothers who did not have dementia when the study began in 1994. Participants underwent evaluations that included medical history, neurologic examinations and cognitive testing. Conscientiousness was measured with a 12-item inventory, where participants rated agreement with each item (for example, “I am a productive person who always gets the job done”) on a scale of one to five. Scores ranged from zero to 48, with higher scores indicating more conscientiousness. The researchers conducted follow-up examinations annually through 2006, with an average of 7.9 evaluations per person.

The participants had an average conscientiousness score of 34 out of 48. Through a maximum of 12 years of follow-up, 176 individuals developed Alzheimer’s disease. Those who had conscientiousness scores in the 90th percentile (40 points) or higher had an 89 percent lower risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease than those whose scores ranked in the 10th percentile (28 points) or lower. Controlling for known Alzheimer’s disease risk factors did not substantially change these results. Conscientiousness also was associated with a slower rate of cognitive decline and a lower risk of mild cognitive impairment, a condition that may precede Alzheimer’s disease.

The researchers also analyzed results from brain autopsies of 324 participants who died during the study. In these patients, conscientiousness was not linked to any of the hallmark signs of Alzheimer’s disease, including brain plaques and tangles. However, conscientiousness did appear to modify the association of these brain changes with an individual’s cognitive abilities before death.

There are several ways by which conscientiousness might protect against Alzheimer’s disease, the authors write. First, conscientious individuals may be more likely to experience educational or occupational success, both of which have been associated with a reduced risk of Alzheimer’s disease. In addition, conscientiousness has been linked to resilience and to coping actively with difficulties. “These factors might lessen the adverse consequences of negative life events and chronic psychological distress, which have been associated with risk of dementia in old age,” the authors note.

“In conclusion, level of conscientiousness is associated with incidence of mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer’s disease but not with the pathologic hallmarks of these conditions,” they continue. “Understanding the mechanisms linking conscientiousness to maintenance of cognition in old age may suggest novel strategies for delaying the symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease.”

When someone makes bold statements, judgments, or decrees without bothering to get the facts of the matter straight and actually refuses to read up on it because they merely heard from someone else that it might conflict with his or her beliefs, that person is an idiot. And someone holds on to such uneducated statements, judgments, or decrees and defends them to the death with no regard for others' opinions, that person is an asshole.
