Did you see this, ? A state legislator says "Black Youths are Terrorizing" the upscale section of downtown Baltimore. Immediately, the mayor, governor, and all the other usual suspects go crazy. Calling him lots of names. The next day it happens again: 20 black people attack a white kid in the same place. And again, in a downtown train station. Broad daylight, too. Riot in Baltimore. Again.. Lots of that happening all over the country. Here are the articles.http://www.wnd.com/2012/05/call-for-crackdown-on-black-on-white-terror/ story for you? Mark good book on it out there too. The Return of Racial Violence to America and How the Media Ignore It.

Except that it isn't spam, because according to the message header, it was sent directly ...

Yep. They're in the middle of their worst drought ever, heat records are being broken every day, but they're going to deny the scientific evidence of climate change and schedule days of prayer for rain.

Seriously. Let's start sandbagging the border.

Where we're headed, if we're not careful

A sobering snapshot of an America in decline from a blogger I've been following.

What a delightful bit of serendipity. Just a short time ago I was writing about the damage resulting from thirty years of right-wing bullshit, and along comes DownWithTyranny, laying this at Ronald Reagan's doorstep. Simplistic, get-something-for-nothing nostrums wrapped in soothing images and syrupy clichés, all calculated to appeal to frightened, insecure and confused people who don't want to deal with reality and its messy complications.



In other words, simple-minded pablum aimed at children. That's pretty well all the right-wing howler monkeys have to offer. False narratives that appeal to emotion and gut reaction rather than straightforward analysis. Hazy references to mythically simpler and more prosperous times, coupled with implicit or even overt scapegoating of some sinister Other – immigrants, feminists, environmentalists, organized labour, or whoever happens to be a convenient target.

Once again: this is not conservatism. Conservatism is a noble, principled and time-honoured philosophical tradition. This is simple-minded atavistic bullshit.

Of course, no one up here is working from that playbook ...
