A Brief Metaphor Explaining the Democratic-Media Complex and Its Power over the American Public
— Ace

Video below, but here's some other stuff:

The 13 best short excerpts on Politico's piece explaining Why Tina Brown Is Awful. (Digested at Breitbart.)

Tina Brown annoys you further by trolling for attention with a stupid piece as to why Hillary shouldn't run. No, it's not because she's down on Hillary. It's that she thinks Hillary is Too Awesome for the Presidency.

Harry Reid's response to the announcement of a House Select Committee to investigate Benghazi mentions the Koch brothers in the second sentence.

Harry Reid smells like smelly balls.

Only if you can handle it -- a book has been published claiming that "something happened" in the bathroom in the Duke Hoax Rape Claim case. And the media are again buying into it -- they are incapable of learning, and they only know they're supposed to support narratives helpful to the Left.

Open Thread.

I don't care *why* Tina Brown thinks the Hildebeest shouldn't run. I'm just glad that she feels that way at all.

Of course, we all think Cankles shouldn't run, because she's an evil, lying, manipulating, self-serving totalitarian, authoritarian communist scrunt, and I'm sure Ms. Brown would disagree and disapprove of our motives.

But, as long as Ms. Brown's wish is for Mrs. Whitewater to eschew a Presidential bid, well, she's on my team, at least for one play in scrimmage.

It's not clear to me why Brown decided to go in this direction, but it is feels like an example of concern trolling Â— a terrific way to bring up all of Hillary Clinton's weaknesses, while cloaking them in sincere concern for her best interest.

I agree completely.

Maybe she fears what will happen if Hillary wins, and completely discredits the left. I mean after the job O has done, you wouldn't think there would be much left to discredit, but give the Dems credit, they're thorough.

That piece reminded me of several pieces written about Sarah Palin before she announced she wouldn't run. "Aww, you're just too good for that, Sarah. You need to be a kingmaker instead." Etc. Ann Coulter wrote one of those. But when she wouldn't get out of the way, the tone changed, and people were nastier about it. Including Ann Coulter.

It was their nice way of saying "please don't run." She didn't have much of a chance of winning and might have hurt other candidates. Seems a little like that with Hillary.

She's wanted this job for many years, and she will probably get it. And sure, Deval Patrick could be her running mate, or Corey Booker. Deval is kinda stupid, but Booker is a lot more smarmy charming. And it will be either a four-lane wreck, or God is truly looking out for America and something positive will happen. I guessing it will be a four-lane wreck, but the Media will paper it over.

It was and it was tasty after soaking in that spicy hotpot broth.

Art Donovan had a funny story in his book Fatso about stealing two cases of Spam when he was in the Pacific during WWII. He got busted and his CO didn't believe anyone could like Spam - so he said you've got one week to eat it all.

186 Free will is, I think, a bit of an illusion created by his satanic majesty. "Thy will be done" is not an invitation to free will. We have choice to sin or not to sin, but we are also encouraged to pray, and the purpose of prayer is not to get what you want, or to petition the Lord. But to get right with His program. "Thy will be done" is a submission to the will and the way of God. We all have many choices in this life, to do or not to do. It may appear to be "free will", but whether this is a gift from God or a temptation is hard to say. I hope this doesn't sound insulting to your own personal beliefs, as I have spent a lot of years pondering this very question, with readings from a self-taught Biblical scholar. This question and the whole notion of "free will" have been something rooted in a lot of Western philosophical thought for millenia. People in the Christian church have often (over the last 2000 years) mistakenly adopted alternate philosophical ideas to seem more fashionable to their audience. It's no wonder people accept this stuff. intelligent people in the major religions make this more confusing all the time.

Put another way, you are assuming that God could not hold people accountable for their sins if they did not have the ability (read: the desire) not to sin, therefore you conclude that people must therefore have the innate ability not to sin otherwise God would not condemn sin. If, on the hand, God could not just handwave away sin, perhaps because He is a Just God and cannot ignore it without denying His own nature, than your logic falls apart. To try another tack, how are we defining "free will?"

206 Thanks guys. Don't follow hockey much anymore. But I thought so. Some dumb fuck on a news break on the radio on the way home called him an African-American and I thought WTF?? Jeebus.

213 Free will is just what it says. I would wager that anyone here with a decent Christian upbringing, Catholic or Protestant--as long as many others without a decent Christian upbringing--always knew when they were sinning and did it anyway. That is, they paused before lying, shoplifting, cheating, getting that already drunk co-ed one more drink, etc-knew they were about to sin, and said "fuck it. I'll do penance later...."

227 Tina Brown's success was due to her talent for self-promotion, knowing whose powerful ass to kiss, and convincing old rich guys to give her lots of money Her writing is embarrassing even for a celebrity rag, and why she was ever considered some sort of genius editor was exposed by the multimillion dollar wreckage she left behind. Most of her writing is "oh shit, I miss Princess Di" and "Hillary is my bestie" Unfortunately her talent for self-promotion and uncanny instinct for whose ass to kiss means we haven't seen the last of this Piers Morgan with Tits

228 Free will is just what it says. Free in what sense? When people say "free will" what they usually mean is that people are equally capable of choosing between good and evil - that people are basically neutral. OTOH, some of use believe that peoples' choices are constrained by their own evil nature, that left to their own devices they will always choose a corrupt path (not necessarily the worst, but always corrupt in some way) because they are inherently hostile to God. In short, they freely chose the path of evil because it is inherent in their natures to do so, and they do not want to choose good. So, what does "free" mean?

233 189>> Ability and desire are two completely separate things, and occur independently. I think God gave us free will as a function of creating us in his image. How do you hold someone accountable for something they are not aware of? ButÂ…eating the forbidden fruit and becoming aware of right and wrongÂ…now judgment can be made and punishment meted out accordingly. Of course, God could make an arbitrary decision at any time and smite any of us, and that is his prerogative. Just my thoughts...

235 Of course, God could make an arbitrary decision at any time and smite any of us, and that is his prerogative. Except He cannot operate contrary to His nature or to His Word. He has made covenants and promises, and what He has promised, He will do.

236 216>> "All of them were conservative Republicans." Because they sign their responses as such or because they were wearing cardigans and spats or because you are some kind of omnipotent troll?
