I feel a disturbance in the force.


Rumour has it, KKKate is on the road so she won’t have as much time spittle-flecked blogging as she might like. Awwwww, that’s too bad. Worry not, kids, Five Feet of Crazy™ has been invited to pick up the drooling righttard slack.

Shouldn’t that be against all laws of nature and science? Seriously? Could their craziness actually cancel each other out and then cause some sort of tear in the space-time continuum?

I don't know about you but I think it might be time to head for the bunker.

I like KKKathy's post, in that it details the correct procedure for responding to people who spout right-wing lunacy: act as though they just passed loud and smelly wind in public.

If only discourse here were as civilized as it appears to be in Budapest, we would be in much better shape.

Who is Melanie Phillips?

Another rightwing nutcase with pre-fabricated opinions it appears:

1. Pro-Israel?...check
2. Anti-Muslim:...check
3. Global warming denier...check
4. Biological evolution denier...check

...etc. etc.

I bet Shaidle's kicking herself for not having targeted that now-crowded niche a lot earlier.

Ti-Guy — I'm convinced their opinions come in kit form with only the most minor assembly required. Oh wait... I think Stephen Taylor has that end of the market already covered off.

I am so sick of these scientific illiterates that don't understand the most basic of scientific terms such as theory.

From one of her posts:

"...downgrading evolution from the way it is currently taught as unchallengeable fact to a mere theory alongside religious belief."

There really should be laws that keep people such as herself from speaking on a subject such as science.

Don't be so unserious. The rightwing think tanks hand out actual kits with policy documents that in essence provide the intellectual underpinning for this curious world-view.

I think one of them is titled "Rolling Back the Engightenment : How to Keep Selling 'em Crap in the Information Age."

It really is a concerted effort to convince people to turn away from critical thinking. Not necessarily a conspiracy, but a convergence of interests, with paid frauds and sell-outs doing the leg work.

I wish being a fraud was something I found intellectually appealing...I'd be a millionaire by now.

I wonder just what type of income Kathy Shaidle, Kate McMillan and Stephen Taylor declare these days?

Speaking of kits, I finally got my Liberal Mind Set in the mail yesterday.

Six weeks my ass.

Ti-Guy said...

I hear the CBC is selling those...but...*pssst*...don't tell the BT's. You how fragile they are...

Red Tory said...

Ti-Guy — LOL. Quite so. Some times it really does seem like a relentless and concerted effort to foist a vulgar sort of intellectual fraudulence upon us. While I'm inclined to reject that as being overly conspiratorial, one has to wonder in the face of an aggregation of stupendous idiocy such as "Teh Blogging Tories"...

Red Tory said...

Cräbgräšš — Hey, can you dupe that and send me a copy! I've been having these nasty capitalistic urges of late and need to quell them immediately!

Btw, nice embellishment of your nic! I love the completely superfluous "šš" characters. Bravo!

RT - regarding the decorative characters - I started farting around with them and decided that it reminded me of grass and weeds struggling to grow through the cracks of a sidewalk or driveway. How could I resist?

I would love to make you a copy of the Liberal Mind Set, but there are dire FBI warnings all over this stuff. Holy crap. Now that I look at it, it's really quite grave, seriously. As a matter of fact, the - oh wait, there's someone at the door...

Red Tory said...

Cräbgräšš — Duck! ...And cover!

I've been trying to fathom the wily nuances of "Kitteh" recently and think that your malappropriated gerunds and frivolous embellishments will come in most handy in the future. Oops, that shud be footur. I'm still on teh lurning curv.

Southern Quebec said...

Crabgrass -- I thought you were Swedish, and you know how (L)ibrul they are!

¢rÄbG®äŠŠ said...

RT - Oui, c'est vrai. Teh kitteh is most nuanced. I can has umlaut?

Southern Québec!! Swedish? I wish.
Or at least I think I wish.
