THINK OF IT AS GERMAN PHILOSOPHY IN ACTION

The essence of the philosophical trend initiated by Kant and brought to fruition by Hegel could be summed up in three words: Reality Is Unreal.  

This notion allows an individual to dismiss truths and believe falsehoods.  For example Sandy Sheedy, a member of the Sacramento City Council, has publicly stated that it is possible to fire an unloaded gun.

No, seriously, she actually said it. 

“There have been several people that have been shot by an unloaded gun.”

(You Tube Link)

In practical effect a truth is held to be untrue and the impossible is deemed to be possible. 

How can there be a reasoned debate on any issue when the opposing party has clearly renounced reality?

Moron Of The Day

"If I can accept that the Paris murderers aren’t real Muslims why won’t the Muslim world say so too?"

-- Piers  Morgan of the Daily Mail Online

 Because the fact is that the murderers in Paris were acting in to accordance to the actual doctrine of Islam. 

 In reality Islam was created by a depraved individual as a body of excuses for predatory actions.  The doctrine of Islam denies all of the rights of Man. including Life, Liberty, and Property.  And of course the freedoms of Speech and Self Defense are absolutely right out.  Those who actually stand up for Human Life such as the "Muslim" police officer who died while resisting the murderers are not proper Muslims.  Islam and those who actually practice it have no place in human society.

 UPDATE 1300 Hrs CST:

Lt. Col. Ralph Peters gets it..

 He is the opposite of a moron.

Moron Of The Day

A journalist tweets from Ferguson, Missouri:

Those are in fact ear plugs for hearing protection.  They are sold over the counter at drug stores everywhere.

Dumbass.

Update:

Apparently the reporter works (or perhaps I should say "works") for the Huffington Post.  In other words he's a leftie propagandist and doubleplus (look it up) moron.

Doubleplus dumbass.

Photo Of The Day

Here is director Steven Spielberg with a prop from his motion picture Jurassic Park.  But some animal rights yahoo saw the photo and wrote a freaked out comment:

My friend Dave Hall had this to say on the moron and her comment:

"Moron does not begin to describe that pathetic individual."

A Suggestion

One of the effects of having a gender- neutral primary name is that I do received telephone calls from people who assume that I'm a woman.  Just after I returned from a multiple hour road trip someone made a cold call to my phone number. An obviously young African-American woman asked me if she could speak to Miss Bates.

I said, "who?"

She immediately hung up.

This is clearly incorrect.

While my is voice clearly male in origin the caller apparently didn't think about what she was doing.  I could have been honestly asking to correctly state the name of the person she sought to speak to.  Furthermore she didn't give any thought to the possibility that a husband, son or other male guest may have answered the phone.

But then it really doesn't take any thought to be an African-American.
