   I cannot help notice the childish behavior on the part of these union people and leftists. They project their own faults onto others. They cannot take responsibility for what they have done or for reality.

   Oh My Gosh! They’re just like little children. Is this psychological and intellectual neoteny?

   Over at Steynonline, Mark Steyn reports on where the unionocracy is heading:

   The President of Greece warned last night that his country stood on the brink of the abyss after three people were killed when an anti-government mob set fire to the Athens bank where they worked.

   The [London]Times managed to get the salient feature of the story entirely wrong. They were not an “anti-government” mob, but a government mob, a mob of “public servants” objecting to austerity measures that would end, for example, the tradition of 14 monthly paychecks per annum. You read that right: the Greek public sector cannot be bound by anything so humdrum as temporal reality. So, when it was mooted that the “workers” might henceforth receive a mere 12 monthly paychecks per annum, they rioted. Their hapless victims – a man and two women – were a trio of clerks trapped in a bank when the mob set it alight and then obstructed emergency crews attempting to rescue them.

   Read the full story here.

   HI STACEY OF LIBERTY–#305. Mitt Romney and sincere Christians–not just Mormons–get tarred by bad actions of other people in their group. And many liberals see us Christians as rather stupid people for believing in God. Instead they believe in random probability having made us and all we see around us.
   ***
   Someone asked Albert Einstein how he could believe in a Creator. These scientists were so smart that they knew that this couldn’t be possible–it must have been a grand accident. Einstein replied, “I see too much order in the universe to believe this could have been accidental”.
   ***
   Mitt Romney would be a far better president than Comrade Obama. Ditto for Mike Huckabee. However, Governor Sarah Palin looks like the only real conservative with a chance to win. While many other RINO’s are AWOL–she has taken point and is actively fighting the stupid damage that is being done to our economy now by His regime as they change the U.S.A. into their dream of a United Socialist States of Amerikka.
   ***
   The Sarah’Cuda has a good record of working for the people of Alaska–good economic decisions–not throwing in with corrupt politicians of her own party either. And in her personal life–she walks the walk. Most politicians just talk a good fight–witness John Edwards.
   ***
   Read her two books–GOING ROGUE and AMERICA BY HEART to find out how she thinks and acts. Compare them to President Obama’s DREAMS OF MY (communist) FATHER book and to his own socialist / marxist / communist video statements and actions. If you think we are in bad economic times now–wait until the bad energy policies–cut back on our oil / gas drilling–and the wild spending for payoffs to his political cronies really hits home. The Jimmy Carter era is going to look golden by comparison.
   ***
   Sarah Palin is the only politician I see that will work for the American Taxpayer. Mitt Romney strikes out for his bad decision in implementing RomneyCare in Massachusetts when he was governor there. It is a scaled down version of the ObamaCare that will bankrupt our country soon.
   ***
   Sarah Palin gave sold the Alaska private jet and flew commercial–hundreds of thousands of dollars saved. She fired the Alaska Governor’s Mansion staff and did the cooking herself. She cut a better deal with the Alaskan oil companies and gave the added income back to the taxpayers–instead of spending the money in the state budget. Did this ever happen in your state? Not in my Texas either.

    When, after the election she snuggled up to that leftist hag Ferraro (who, 30 years ago, laughed at the idea of unisex bathrooms and women in combat) and decried all of us who saw that hag for the leftist hag she is as “neanderthals who need to be dragged into the 21st century”, I knew exactly who Sarah Palin is.

    I’ve seen feminazis like her before. They lean on the men around them and then pretend that the accomplishment is theirs.

    Now I’d like to turn the discussion, if I may, to something Michelle mentions in this column. It’s when she covers the ratings-hungry shock-jock who unloads on a female GOP pol. Michelle says he “sneered that she had “pulled a train” (a crude phrase for group sex).”

    At first Michelle’s parenthetical remark made me smile. Is there a delicate phrase for group sex, after all?

    Then I began to think about group sex in American culture. Of course there have been stag films since the history of film, but I see very few mentions of group sex in popular culture before the ugliness of the “sexual revolution”.

    There’s Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World which came out in 1932. “Orgy-Porgy”, remember? It was banned in Ireland because of language and anti-family content. (Oh, Ireland, how you’ve fallen. Now you give us Sinead O’Connor cutting up photos of the Pope! Not that we should talk – sorry about Madonna, guys!)

    Anyway, I’ve got more thoughts, but what do you think? We seem to get more popular references to group sex every year. Am I right? If so, why is it?

    And are certain types of group sex more shameful, and effective in a shock-jock’s shaming language, than other kinds of group sex?

    I think so. And I think considering these questions can help us better understand our culture.

    A guy on Twitter, styled @ConservativeLA, asked the other day whether morality could be based on anything other than religion. It occurred to me, after years of listening to Dennis Prager, that morality could live without religion only for a generation. How can a man with no religion teach his son that sexual license is wrong – hey, feels good, no victims!

    That’s why group sex, and mentions of it in popular culture, are growing.

    I thought the sentiment about the old immorality becoming the new morality was nicely put.

    Rocketman helpfully defined “pulling a train” for me. Thank you. I wasn’t looking for a definition, yet you sound like an okay guy. But I think the Hell’s Angels stole the term from Ivy League frat boys, who have always had fewer scruples.

    Another point the Swede made was that the shock jocks no longer shock. Yes!

    When Enlightenment types, fore-runners of Margaret Sanger, began to push contraception in the 1820s, people were completely disgusted! It just wasn’t polite to discuss sex, much less make graphic suggestions on how to modify your sexual practice. They were banished from polite society with cries of disgust.

    Discussion of contraception wasn’t tolerated until the eugenics movement in the 19 teens and twenties.

    Discussions of group sex got similar treatment from society till the 1960s.

    But this shock jock, who really has to stretch to shock now, as Swede said, thinks sliming a female GOP politician in just this way will be good for his ratings.

    Why?

    I contend that some kinds of group sex are more socially acceptable than others.

    First there’s Huxley’s “Orgy-Porgy” type, with multiple men and women. I think the first portrayal of that kind of group sex I saw in a mainstream movie was Blake Edward’s S.O.B.. But maybe Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice was before that. In both movies, the group sex was presented and not condemned.

    Then there’s the woman-woman-man threesome. I think a majority of males touch on this kind in fantasy. Hey, it’s like rolling in money, an embarrassment of riches! Women aren’t condemned for this much because there’s a lesbian aspect.

    And lesbians, I contend, are one of secular society’s sacred cows. (Notice none of the invective slung by union thugs above relates to lesbian practices!)

    The TV show Friends references threesomes often, but only FFM threesomes. Joey often “gets lucky” that way, and everybody envies him.

    It’s the MMF threesomes that I contend are still socially stigmatized, and for good reason! Remember that guy in The Sopranos, the one played by the actor who betrayed Neo and the gang in the first Matrix film? They wanted to show him in a bad light, a bad light for a mafioso, so they had him putting up one of the strippers at the Badda-Boom for such exploitation.

    And exploitation is what it is. Think of male dogs gathered round for their turn to mount the female-in-heat. Not a pretty picture, but much nicer that when you substitute humans!

    It’s animal sex. I don’t think most men include this in fantasy, do we?

    Again, that movie about Crane, the guy from Hogan’s Heroes, I think it was called Shutterspeed, showed MMF in a condemning light, like The Sopranos.

    Society doesn’t accept it. Men don’t brag about it (except maybe the Kennedy brothers and Chris Dodd) because it shows an ugly sexual kink – the desire to strip a woman of her human dignity and make her an animal.

    And it’s also the newest and most effective way to slut-shame women. It’s no longer good enough to say she cheated on her husband, surely not good enough to get Democrats to listen to your radio show!

    I think the most misogynist thing I’ve seen so far in my life was the poster in Wisconsin calling eagerly for the gang-rape of Fox anchors. But it’s early days yet, folks.

    [County spokesman] Heine said he didn’t know the reason for the sickout at SCAT, which originally stood for Special Citizens Area Transportation. The unionized work force is not in the midst of contract negotiations, nor is there any apparent problems in the office that provides transportation services for developmentally disabled residents who need to get to their employment centers, senior citizens and seriously ill people who need help getting to dialysis treatments and other medical appointments.

    “Successful Moderate” Democrat

    Have you not seen some of the signs at tea party rallies?

    The majority of MM’s post isn’t about signs. The sexist, racist, homophobic rants were verbal and some TEA PARTY people were physically assaulted.

    Not very many signs at TEA PARTY rallies. I’m still waiting to hear from Breitbart on the $100,000 given to anyone who can prove offensive things were done at the rallies.

    If they were, we’d be hearing about on every MSM outlet for the next week.

    Or is that just that nebulous, crazy faction who aren’t real tea partiers, but yet are counted when it comes to doing a head count?

    The only people skewing head counts are the democrats, MSM and liberals who think that only 87,000 people attended 8-28 and the NY Times air photo of the mostly Madison counter-protesters last week titled “protesters and counterprotesers”.

    This is a good point:

    What the S&M Dem must be thinking of is the guy with the the poster of Obama photoshopped with a Hitler mustache – you know, the guy Barney Frank called out at his Town Hall meeting.

    The problem is that that was a Lyndon LaRouche supporter, and the LaRouchies carried similarly photo-shopped signs of Bush at all the “anti-war” rallies from 2001-2008.

    And Lyndon LaRouche was a Democrat, he ran for the Dem presidential nomination. And he chose his party wisely, because LaRouche was a socialist.

    Hey, you know who else ran for office as a Democrat? Old Fred Phelps, of the Westboro Baptist Church. They never carry signs that say “God Hates Democrats!”, do they?

    David Duke ran in Louisiana as a Republican, but when the GOP realized he was a KKK kreep, they tried to get him off, but Duke lawyered up. The Louisiana GOP ended up paying money to run ads against their own candidate.

    Would that the Dems had taken such exception to LaRouche or Phelps!

    @diablophobe: really interesting comments! Besides being a corporate type, I write romance novels, so I’m always interested in this type of discussion.

    I think men have less trouble with lesbians because a lot of them get turned on by girl-on-girl action (it’s pretty typical in porn, right?) Women aren’t going to be condemned for something that helps men get their rocks off. Gay guys can make some men feel threatened, or worried about themselves.

    And of course, horrible men have always used threats of sexual violation (or, you know, actual sexual violation) toward people they hate, men or women.

    I think you’re probably right about a few men having sex with the same woman…how it’s guys getting off on demeaning a woman. I’ve heard that sometimes it’s also a way guys deal with the desire to have sex with each other…if that’s true, it’s too bad that they just don’t do that and call it a day.

    I think protests attract crazy, hateful people of all kinds, as well as saboteurs from the opposition. So I don’t tend to hold the protesting party responsible for every bad thing that goes down.

    The Altnernet arcticle cited above is completely different. Alternet deliberately published an offensive article–from a writer too cowardly to use his or her real name, no less. At least a saboteur or crazy person at a protest has the courage to show his face.

    In the author’s follow-up defense of his post, he says that he “playfully” referred to Cain and other black conservatives as “garbage pail kids.” Really, DeVega (<–not his real name)? That's "playful"? And by the way, it's not just right-wingers attacking you.

    The upstanding, conservative dude and the free-spirited bohemian lady is a pretty common combination. But so is proper lady + rascally rake

    I’ve only published one, with a smaller press. I didn’t publish it under my real name, Stacey Donovan, because, uh…well, just Google that name and you’ll see why. :/ (That is NOT ME.)

    I got great agent representation for another one, but she wasn’t able to sell it (maybe it was weird…a romance + a haunted house.) I’m working on another one set in Victorian England now.

    Sounds like R&J / West Side Story – guess you need some kind of intrigue to pull them in.

    I’m working on another one set in Victorian England now.

    Congrats on getting published – and good comments on Amazon. Most writers get turned down multiple times before getting ink – if ever. Takes perseverence and resiliance, which I admire. Best wishes for the new effort and continued success.

    Dear Stacy,

    Thanks for the thoughtful comments.

    Here is a tastefully done primer on male sexuality:

    http://prageru.com/5.htm

    (Have you been to this site, Prager University? All 5-minute vids. This one’s wonderful, but it’s not even among his top three. If you have any high school kids in your life, try to get them to watch “The American Trinity”, among others.)

    I disagree that lesbianism is sexy to most men. We’ve been spoon-fed that by Spy Magazine, Friends, and other “edgy” sources. Porn? Hmm. Hot naked women sell videos, no matter what they’re up to.

    And you’re on dangerous ground when you imply that some guys like MMF threesomes because they’re latent homosexuals. Look, there’s slut-shaming misogyny, and there’s wimp-shaming misandry. You skate close to the latter here, and I urge you to skate away!

    There is a wide-spread sexual kink that we should all find disgusting – that we should all pour scorn on. That kink is the taking of pleasure in stripping dignity from a sexual partner. It happens among straights, gays, and lesbians.

    Oh, how I wish “dignity-stripper!” was a more biting insult than “fag!”

    P.S. Romances, huh? No wonder you paragraph well.

    Stacy,

    Wasn’t suggesting you’re “homophobic”. (I think even that term is wimp-shaming misandry: “Oh, you hate gays? You’re just scared of them, scared because you’re LATENT, you sissy!”)

    Wimp-shaming is so common now, I was suggesting you were doing it unawares.

    Here’s a loaded sentence: “Being ashamed of being gay is unfortunate, though not surprising in our culture.” I don’t think there’s anything particularly oppressive to gays in American culture.

    And I’ve never seen the point of Gay Pride. If sexual preference is a little thing, nothing to be ashamed of, then what’s to be proud of? I really disapprove of “outing”. Why must people be compelled to talk about their sex lives? Just more Dems enforcing identity politics.

    Okay, let’s drop the discussion of American culture, then.

    Which culture in the world is the most welcoming and least oppressive to gays? Gay marriage is legal, I think, in Holland.

    But in Holland and across Europe gays are being vilified and even beaten more and more. Muslims trump homosexuals in privileged minority status there.

    Here in the Orient, where I live, there’s little violence to speak of, but gays are shunned – come out of the closet and lose your job.

    What’s that leave, Africa? Is South America enlightened in these matters? (I really don’t know.)

    Sydney and Auckland have gay communities, but also increasingly intolerant Muslim ones.

    So why pour your scorn on America, Stacy?
