Why there is no "White History Month"

It never fails. Every February some whiny smart-ass will complain that there's a black history month so how come there isn't a white history month?

It reminds me of the time in every smartass kid's life when he says to his mom, "there's a Mother's Day and a Father's Day, how come there's no Children's Day?" And the mother answers "Because every day is Children's Day." And at the time you feel like

 

But eventually you grow up and looking back you realize that, yeah, being a kid was a pretty sweet deal.

Apparently, these people never grew up: http://wheniswhitehistorymonth.tumblr.com/

Rick Santorum Has No Sense of Irony

If there's one thing Rick Santorum can't stand, it's the government making peoples' decisions for them!

Santorum slams Obama administration as 'elite snobs'

Posted by

CNN's Ashley Killough

"They don't believe you can make these decisions. They need to make these decisions for you," Santorum said, referring to the Obama administration.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to make sure that women don't get to make their own reproductive decisions. Obviously, the government needs to decide whether you can have birth control or get an abortion. 

You know, be careful what you wish for, Religious Right. You wanted a president that would govern by traditional Christian rules, you just might get one. But guess what, suckers, those rules are gonnabe Catholic. Say goodbye to birth control, and get ready to add on to your house, 'cause you're gonna need another nursery!


Seriously, Santorum is not just opposed to making Catholic hospitals pay for birth control, he's opposed to birth control period.  remember this quote?

One of the things I will talk about that no president has talked about before is I think the dangers of contraception in this country, the whole sexual libertine idea... It's not okay

or this:

I don’t think it works. I think it’s harmful to women. I think it’s harmful to our society to have a society that says that sex outside of marriage is something that should be encouraged or tolerated …, particularly among the young and it has I think we’ve seen very, very harmful long-term consequences to the society. Birth control to me enables that and I don’t think it’s  a healthy thing for our country.”  [emphasis added]

And of course, this exchange with Jake Tapper:

Tapper asked, “Democrats say that one of the reasons you lost that year was because you are, in their view, out of the mainstream. . . about whether or not a state has the right to make a law against married couples using contraceptives. Is that something you’re at all concerned about?

“The state has a right to do that,” said Santorum. “I have never questioned that the state has a right to do that. It is not a constitutional right. The state has the right to pass whatever statues they have.”
“That is the thing I have said about the activism of the Supreme Court--they are creating rights, and they should be left up to the people to decide,” he added.

 It should be up to "the people" to decide whether or not you have rights. The Supreme Court should not go around handing out rights willy-nilly. Of course states should be allowed to ban birth control.

And this is no longer a hypothetical situation. Several states are introducing "fetal personhood" bills which would, among other things, outlaw the Pill. Santorum would support these insane laws. And if you think you can count on the Supreme Court to overturn laws banning birth control, there are 2 problems with that.

1: This is the worst Supreme Court in history, and the ideologues who gave us Bush v. Gore and Citizens United also happen to all be Catholic.

2: Rick Santorum seems to think that he can "overturn" Supreme Court decisions anyway.

Rick Santorum Says He Will Overturn The Supreme Court If Same-Sex Marriage Is Ruled Legal

“I would do the same thing I would with Roe v. Wade, which I would seek to try and overturn it. I think judicial tyranny is a serious issue in this race and this country. And we need judges who respect the people’s voice. Let the people decide with respect to what the constitution says, if in fact they would go through a constitutional amendment process.”

 

Why should Constitutional scholars decide what the Constitution says? Obviously, the Constitution should be interpreted by folks who get it mixed up with the Declaration of Independence and got their knowledge of its content from Schoolhouse Rock.


Always remember: Rick Santorum is fucking crazy.

Also, Rick Santorum is Fucking Insane.

The Lorax Movie is Coming Out Soon

And cue ridiculous right-wing outrage in 3. ..  2. . .1. . .

EPA & Hollywood Use Lorax To Brainwash Kids On Green Energy And Anti-Capitalism

This odd little character speaks for the trees and hates industrialized civilization. He's going to be teaching your kids to hate capitalism.

The Lorax Movie Pre-Review

On the screen appeared a trailer for Dr. Seuss’ The Lorax. . . 

Too early to review it, to slam it, poo-poo it?
I simply don’t care, why should I first have to view it?
It’s not a movie for kids but propaganda from “Big Green.”
I’ll explain what I mean.

(Sure, why should you have to see a movie before you trash it? Why waste time?)

Is de-forestation still a problem outside of Brazil?
(A rhetorical question: I know the drill.)

Um, even if it was only happening in Brazil, The Brazilian Rain Forest is the largest in the world. De-foresting Brazil would have huge negative consequences for the planet.

The trailer showed a world in which all trees are gone.
Instead of making me feel sad, it just made me yawn.

There are more trees being planted now than ever before.
Those “greenies,” however, would just call me a right-wing whore.

I was going to go with "moronic cocksucker," but Okay, "right-wing whore" it is! * Also, new trees being planted is nice, but it takes decades for them to grow large enough to replace the old ones.

You see, poor Dr. Seuss died in 1991,
And sadly since then he has been no fun.
The Lorax he wrote in 1970 when people were littering
These days folks are more likely to be Twittering.

Yes, thank God littering isn't a thing that happens anymore!  What a fucking moron.

Reviving Climate Change: The Lorax Will Sell Your Kids on Saving the Planet

This is a clear example of Hollywood movie studios pushing government propaganda. The EPA and the Organic Elite like Whole Foods Market and over 70 other partners are partnering up to sell this idea of humans are bad and the earth is good to children through a beloved Dr. Seuss story.

I don't know whose government you're referring to, our government has not really been pushing a lot of pro-environmental anything that I can think of.

So what is supposed to be so terrible about telling kids that cutting down all the trees would be a bad thing?

A Very Gingrich Valentine's

Gingrich grins talking about Valentine’s Day plans for Callista

by Joy Lin | February 14, 2012

“What are you going to do for your beautiful wife tomorrow on Valentine’s Day?” a woman attending a Hispanic fundraiser asked the candidate. People in the audience hooted audibly.
Almost (but not quite) embarrassed, Gingrich looked around to supporters on stage and joked, “After that question, I need something a little stronger than water."
“All I can promise you is that I believe she will quite happy tomorrow night,” he continued.

No, Younger generation, This is NOT Okay!

Apparently, since the Grammies last night the Twitter has been blowing up with Tweets like these:

intestinalfortitude:aweepingangel:

I can not believe that anyone would need to be told this, but this is NOT ACCEPTABLE. There is nothing cute or funny or clever about domestic violence. A lot of your mothers and grandmothers and aunts have fought long and hard to make domestic battery socially unacceptable, and you're seriously going to put out shit like this?

I really really hope that none of you ever find yourselves in the situation that Rhianna found herself, but you should be able to tell without personal experience that this is nothing to joke about.


This is what domestic violence looks like:



Not cute, not funny, not sexy, not acceptable. Not ever.
