A Rose By Any Other Name

 

1. Hope you don’t mind Drew. This is very good. I’m gonna post it in full on my Facebook page. Not sure it will help much. I’m preaching to the choir. But maybe they will share it… ad nauseum.

2. I don’t mind, but this is WAY too big for a Facebook post, isn’t it? Few people are going to read it here, where the visit rate is only mildly crazy. On Facebook it’s probably 10 times faster. Click, glance, smile, check for titties, click elsewhere. 3 seconds per visit if you’ve got a couple dozen friends to visit. 10 seconds if you leave a fast comment.

   Blogs are dying Chris, because they aren’t fast enough for the artificially ultra busy. The flavors of social media have evolved into denser and denser structure I think, with the age of the users getting younger, while their dialect gets more concise via deconstruction and compaction, even symbolic and acronymical. “TTYL” is a full sentence. “TL” means the same but is twice as fast.

   The problem of course is that so many people know of a million stories, but know nothing more about them than a title and a group opinion. Extremely well informed, yet empty headed.
   “irregardless” ... essay length posts with links to full blown essays are probably a waste of time in that kind of media.

3. The proof of the insanity raging in America et al - A TX rodeo opened with a ‘prayer’ from an muslim iman (and, oh btw, a muslim wants muslim to be a race on US Census) - to boos and general dislike. . . At the same time (also at the same time the muslim capital day ‘rally’ took place - which got more press for the Christians who took over the event) - a TX House Rep has introduced a state bill to outlaw sharia law in TX.

   Oh and an iman (saw it on FB) actually came out and said that in the wake of the Paris attack - muslims need to admit that ‘those caught up in the religion’ are a problem for islam.

   It is just pure insanity going on - and it appears that the inmates are running the asylum and have been for quite a while.

4. The inmates aren’t running the asylum, the Jihadis are.  Why is no one outside of us looney members of the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy, calling bullshit on Obama?

   He’s supported the Islamists for years, he’s crippling our economy, he’s dividing us on racial, gender and economic lines, how much damage will he do before he’s stopped?
