Quick Hits: “White People”, the NFL, Skittles

      No Comments on Quick Hits: “White People”, the NFL, Skittles

Oh boy

I’ll start with skittles. Apparently this analogy angers the crap out of progessional victims, thin-skinned morons, and the press. But I repeat myself. I’m sure it also touches on victim blaming somehow. But look: if you know something has a risk, you minimize that risk. I know that bullets come out of my gun so I don’t look down the barrel.

I avoid high crime areas if at all possible (it nearly always is, if you are not so unfortunate as to live or work in one). I avoid driving recklessly. I lock my doors, so on and so forth.

Of course not all Muslims are like that — just like not all cops are going to kill you, and not all white people are racist. That’s not the point. The point is that right now there are groups of Muslim extremists training to kill innocents and planning to use our systems against us. ISIS has admitted as much. In addition they are radicalizing people already here.

No thanks: until we can deal with that, we need to slow down on bringing new people in. Period. It is dangerous.

Bonus: FBI Oh, and the FBI apparently knew about this idiot. His own father came to the FBI a few years ago. Uhh. How are you going to ignore that?

So far, the FBI had at least some inkling about this guy and the Orlando terrorist. People had concerns about the Fort Hood guy and the San Bernardino couple. The FBI lost the wife of the Orlando terrorist. (Note that I am intentionally refusing to use their names).

Yeah, Comey has to go. No wonder they didn’t charge Clinton: they can’t even track terrorists.

Clearly, under the current administration, we cannot effectively screen people or even watch those understood to be potential risks. Therefore, no eating the skittles.

The NFL season has been plagued with protests, and people protesting the protests. To be honest my desire to watch the league has been continually diminished over the years — ever since Bountygate. But with the league inserting itself into what players can say (for example, criticizing the league, or officials), and having such strict dress codes… yet not intervening over this? AND they refused to allow players to honor the Dallas PD?

It’s not like my team is winning anyway. But all the social justice bullshit and the hypocrisy… yeah, I won’t miss anything else for a game.

Bonus Topic: In the Washington Post this week, a mother excoriates her own sons because they don’t buy into her constant jammering about rape culture and sexism. She’s appalled that she raised boys who feel the way these boys do. But let’s be realistic: there is no “rape culture” in the United States. Even the accusation of rape can follow a man for life — even if he is exonerated.

I’m not even going to get into the part where the author moves the goalposts from “consent” to “enthusiastic consent.” By the time the year is out women will be required to get pompoms and do a cheer before men are allowed to kiss them. What’s the proper verbiage for enthusiastic consent? “Fuck yeah!” instead of just “yeah”?

Some cops in Tulsa shot a guy with his hands up, and since he’s black and they aren’t, Hillary Clinton said she’ll “talk directly to white people” about it. I’m assuming she only means those of us who are deplorable, but my first thought on seeing that was, “fuck you, you old lecturing hag.”

Is anyone talking “directly to” black people about the lopsided murder rates? How about talking “directly to” politicians about wasting our time and money?

Bonus: Sexism and YOU! If Hillary pulls it off and wins (unlikely), brace for four years of being called a sexist for any opinions you have. Are you currently in favor of gun rights, low taxes, or any other positions Hillary doesn’t have? Once she becomes president all of those positions contrary to her political aims are sexist.

The same thing happened with Obama. Suddenly people who always believed in X, Y, and Z were called racist because Obama held anti-X, anti-Y, and anti-Z opinions. See, you can’t possible disagree because you always have felt that way — no, suddenly the entire country did a 180 on his unpopular policies because he was black.

That’s one of the many things we have to look forward to with Hillary. Every criticism, every disagreement, every remark or even joke — sexist!

Because nobody made jokes about W, or Bill Clinton, or any other president before. That’s the sort of nutty, crazy bullshit we’re going to be putting up with up until the eventual crash of our society under the weight of twenty or so years of shit ideas implemented at such a quick pace.
