Money is nice, but being able to speak my mind is better.
"Real talk: Daniel Rubin has a great little piece up wherein he chats with The Field Negro, the Philly-based blogger who sharply ponders all things black on a daily basis. (Seriously, if you’ve never checked in with TFN, you should: Its author, Wayne Bennett, is a fantastic read who can cut through bullshit like a hot knife through butter, which is a far grosser analogy than I wanted to make, but there you have it.)"

"To white people, Bennett's musings are like kitchen-table talk from a kitchen they may otherwise never set foot in. To African Americans, he is part of a growing army of black Internet amateurs who have taken up the work once reserved for ministers and professional activists: the work of setting a black agenda, shaping black opinion and calling attention to the state of the nation's racial affairs."

"That's why I love the blog "Field Negro" so much. Field, as he's known to his fans, has the sense of reality that it takes to call out the (CowPuckey) of blame beating by those who are in positions of power and their lackeys. Because of his handle and his unabashed way of writing about racial issues, Field is often cited as a "Black blogger." What he is, however, is a first-class detector of blame deflection and an excellent student of history. If you want to write about the past and future of repression there's really no other perspective to take - which is why everyone should read Field."

"I had no idea, for example, of the extent of the African-American blogging world out there and its collective powers of dissemination.But now, after reading thousands of anguished, thoughtful comments posted on these blogs reflecting on issues of persistent racial discrimination in the nation's schools and courtrooms, what's clear to me is that there's a new, "virtual" civil rights movement out there on the Internet that can reach more people in a few hours than all the protest marches, sit-ins and boycotts of the 1950s and 60s put together."

Wow, so many racist and bigoted stereotypes packed into such a short comment. You win the Liberal Tolerance Award!
In the Soviet Union, you could tell you were in a totalitarian country because everywhere you looked there was a huge red and white billboard shouting some vacuous communist slogan. Here, everywhere you look it is either sacred homosexuals, sacred blacks, or the global warming hoax. The ruling oligarchy’s ideology is every bit as inescapable as under Stalin. For example:
Americans trust their doctors, so the White House wants these medical professionals to be a mouthpiece for President Obama’s global warming agenda.
“We also need doctors, nurses and citizens, like all of you” President Obama said in a taped speech presented to medical professionals gathered at the White House, “to get to work to raise awareness and organize folks for real change.”
The Obama administration has been hard at work trying to draw a link between global warming and public health issues. The summit included the U.S. Surgeon General, top administration officials, and public health experts from around the country telling doctors, nurses and other conference goers how to talk about global warming with their patients.
It gets even crazier:
“We need to engage medical students themselves,” said Vice Admiral Vivek Murthy, the U.S. Surgeon General, “to demand the curriculum change” to prepare them for a warmer future."
Ultimately this isn’t about the weather:
Speakers at the White House summit didn’t just tell doctors to go out and raise awareness about global warming, but to also promote the Obama administration’s regulatory agenda aimed at cutting carbon dioxide emissions.
Jesus Christ, this country is fucked.
On Wednesday, June 17, Reuters reported tersely that the White House “continues to have confidence” in the beleaguered Office of Personnel Management (OPM) chief Katherine Archuleta. This came on the heels of new information that, among other things, the devastating OPM hack may have had something to do with OPM running high-end systems coded in a semi-obsolete programming language without built-in support for modern security practices. Or that OPM gave root system access (for those that don’t speak UNIX, root is privileged system access authority) to foreign contractors in China. No matter, the White House has “confidence” in the woman that ignored a direct warning from the Office of the Inspector General (OIG) cataloging key vulnerabilities in OPM systems, and who also happens to have worked as the national political director for President Obama’s re-election campaign.

If religion does not matter in regard to homosexuality, then why must we restrict our behaviors in deference to Islam?
What surprises people most about liberalism is that it is entirely different than its advertising. On the surface, it advertises goodwill and equality for all; underneath the surface, that means a vast faceless mass of useless people chanting the same slogans while a few arch-cynical manipulators take all the wealth and power for themselves. Liberalism is a ripoff, the ultimate theft of a civilization from its people, and it brings with it misery but only long after the good vibes have faded.
The worst aspect of liberalism appears in its war on intelligence. As part of its jihad against social standards, so that the individual faces no oversight and evolutionary pressures, it replaces realistic assessments with ideological dogma. That is, “We must gather food for the winter” becomes replaced by “We must make sure the food that we already have is equally distributed.” Liberalism functions through distraction from the real issue by the creation of crash dummy issues which, being more emotionally polarized, deflect from the actual issues and make it such that to oppose them is to invoke the wrath of the gathered onlookers. Nothing makes greater destruction than a mob, because — without accountability — it passes judgment and demands immediate gratification in impossible ways, guaranteeing that only lies will be believed and all truths will be denied.
As a result, the left sees intelligence — real intelligence, not “education” — as an enemy. Intelligence sees reality as it is and sees the Crowd for what it is, which is a group of unhappy people determined that no one may be happier than they. Intelligence must be destroyed because it makes people greater than equal, and that makes them not only a threat but a resource to be exploited, just as we cut down the forests and killed off the whales. Those who are lower than equal are always protected and assumed to be innocent victims in a conflict, with whatever criminal or stupid behavior they exhibited being explained away as a consequence (and not cause) of their inequality. The spiral goes forever downward, never rising above.
As a Nietzschean, I look at society as a question of human survival. Ultimately however I agree with the Christians that our problem is evil, although I do not see its origin as “Satan” but the poor choices — prioritizing short-term personal gain over long-term stable harmony working toward the good, the beautiful and the true — of individual humans, who without the intervention of self-discipline are merely talking Bonobos with the same licentious and repetitious urges that that tribe of monkeys exhibits. Evil is solipsism, or the creation of an ego that eclipses all else, and its opposite are those who are intelligent and by that nature, disciplined and prone to notice reality instead of living in a closed-circuit feedback loop of their own desires, judgments and feelings. Most of history is deflection, displacement and distraction of reality by those closed-circuit people, so that their venality and corruption remains unnoticed. They are the destroyers of civilization and they thrive in a time bigoted against intelligence, which tells us exactly what we must do to defeat them.
"Licentious and repititious urges" mmm, sounds like a plan to me! A good plan x*D
Everywhere and anywhere now is banning the Confederate Battle Flag because some jackass shot up a church and it was pretty-clearly a racist attack?
Did we ban the Queeran -- or prayer mats -- after Hasan shot up a military facility?
No?
Well?
Is there a race problem in America? Oh hell yeah. But just as we don't ban Queerans because some Islamic nutjob tries to shoot up a cartoon contest, or another Islamic nutjob tries and succeeds in shooting up a military base exactly what sort of horsecrap is it to call not only for banning pieces of cloth with particular markings on them but also to demand the removal of statutes and other historical artifacts of a war that both didn't have to be fought and damn well ought to be remembered not just for its causes but for the atrocities committed during that time?
How far from Nazi Germany (or Saddam's Iraq!) are we when we ban pieces of cloth and tear down statutes?
Dear Amerika,
Re the post you copied and pasted above. Are you actually Brett Stevens or did you steal his writing without permission or attribution?
Thanks PC, I thought I saw that goblbily gook somewhere else.

Do you not know the difference between the two?
"Hey, I'm new here. Where can I get some good fried chicken?"
Yes - I was once almost physically attacked for asking that question to the only other people on a job site when I had a craving for fried chicken.
Luckily for everyone, the old man in the group grabbed some arms and told me where KFC was.
This was years ago. I presume today I'd be arrested at the end of the melee.
"Do you know the difference between the two?"
Based on your postings I know that you posess neither.
Doc and F&F(@9:55am)those were pretty good captions as well.

What?
They don't have Google where you live?

@PC: Field was being called out for the bullshit idea that he had read the material previously.
Reaching out beyond his ideological bubble is beyond him.
If it isn't sent to him by Think Progress or Media Matters, he hasn't read it.
You are right , Field is allergic to stupid.
Caption Saturday.
Oh hell no.
