Who has the fever here?

Bigdogdancer is a compliance executive in a technology company. He is also an ultra-progressive. 

A few months ago, after Michael Brown was shot and killed in Ferguson, he posted 
this sneer. It is clear that he ignorant contempt for the Tea Party. Along the way he calls the Michael Brown shooting a cold blooded murder. 

After the grand jury decision I commented that it was now decided that the shooting was justified. 

And then he turned delusional.  Read it for yourself. Of course the progressive disease of projection is raging full tilt. But Michael Brown as Medgar Evers? Whoa friend, get help!  

Who killed Michael Brown?

America, You've Been Grubered

I don't blog to offer any particular insight or wisdom. I prefer to share the wisdom, wit, snark etc. of others. Some of it is profound and some of it is glib. Choose for yourself how to take it. Here is a good example.

Missouri Truth Squad

Bob McCullough, the Ferguson DA who led the Darren Wilson inquisition is a Democrat and was a very vocal, even unethical, supporter of Barack Obama. If this highly partisan prosecutor could not indict the Darren Wilson ham sandwich then who could?

Oh what a web we weave

...when we start to deceive

Eric Holder is so transparently corrupt and incompetent. But he dresses up nice. 

The monkeys will riot...

...but the zookeepers must behave and let them blow off steam so that the Dems will have to do nothing specific to address the problems they have created by overpopulating the zoo.  So says massa

Will His Imperial Majesty Allow Us to Thank Him?

Meet an honest liar

He honestly told us how he lied. Jonathan Gruber

Obamus Caesar

All Hail!


All lies, all the time

In the progressive Obama administration.  They counted dental plans in their OCare stats. If they had not they would have had to report that they missed their goal.  

So even the administrations own propaganda organization
vox.com is forced to report this. Of course Ezra Klein is whitewashing it as an unforced error. It's called a lie Ezra.

Fecal California

Barackamus Maximus

Progressives are fecal to the core

This video describes the process our betters did to fool those who were truly Stupid into supporting Ocare. The deception isn't done yet. This year they are touting a reduction in premiums but not a soul on the left is talking about the enormous rise in deductibles and co-pays. It's all lies all the time. 

Biden is looking better every day.

I guess they can say they warned us

Lionel Trilling (a liberal) in 1947: "we must be aware of the dangers which lie in our most generous wishes. Some paradox of our natures leads us, when once we have made our fellow men the objects of our enlightened interest, to go on to make them the objects of our pity, then of our wisdom, ultimately of our coercion."

See what progressives do when they can't defend progressivism

They post pretty pictures. This blogger is a notorious progressive. Just scan the blog to see.

But lately he has taken to posting his photographs. I would say he was ashamed of progressivism but I don't think that is possible.

From The Pity Party

"The first thing to notice about liberal compassion is that its lack of a theory is not accidental. Elaborating a philosophy of compassion is not an assignment adherents of the politics of kindness haven’t gotten around to completing. Rather, what draws them to compassion is that it works just fine— better, really— without being theorized. Rousseau, the philosopher who devoted the most attention to compassion, argued in his Discourse on Inequality that compassion’s best aspect was precisely that it came naturally to those who did not let their reasoning get in its way:"

She got rich in politics

The American way.


Yes we can!

Progressives...

...are whiney babies.

A non-glib assessment of progressivism.

This is an important summary of a recent book The Pity Party: A Mean Spirited Diatribe Against Liberal Compassion

"First, being simultaneously compassionate and nonjudgmental — caring about how people are but not about what they do — disregards the many important ways that what they do determines how they are. Liberalism’s moral paradigm for social welfare programs is the relief effort after a natural disaster. For the same reason, liberals try to frame every issue they can in terms of children’s needs and vulnerabilities. But governing an entire nation on the basis of being nice to children inevitably infantilizes those who are not children."

.....

"Second, liberals’ hopeful, trusting view of human nature leads, counterintuitively, to strident denunciations of those who disagree with them, or who stymie the progress of the liberal project. Believing that the world’s default option is to be a nice place, liberals explain all the ways it remains an ugly and difficult one in terms of villainy, stupidity, or psychological pathologies. Liberalism exists to solve problems, and regards every source of dissatisfaction or discord as a problem, not an aspect of the human condition that we might ameliorate but can never eliminate."

...

"Finally, liberals’ view of human nature jeopardizes many valuable things, the modern bargain chief among them. They are, for example, inclined to interpret, by which I mean to misinterpret, people who detest our way of life as people who aspire to it. Tolerant, nonjudgmental liberals’ instinctive response when Islamist terrorists commit acts of mass murder is, in critic Paul Berman’s words, “to suggest ways in which the apparent mass pathologies were anything but pathologies, and terror was reasonable and explicable and perhaps even admirable.” Of the recent ISIS beheading videos he has written, “The spectacle of black-uniformed holy warriors conducting human sacrifices gives us the chills, but it also makes us sigh. We tell ourselves: Here is what comes of failing to provide adequate social services to young men in blighted neighborhoods.” In other words, liberals’ first reaction is to believe that if decent people simply appeal to the decency latent in others, all will ultimately be well."
