Why Do Liberals Hate Beauty Queens?
by Genghis 2/26/2010 - 12:25 pm
|
What is the most persecuted demographic in the nation? It's not the blacks, the Jews, or the Hispanics, and certainly not the gays. One victim stands out in the gruesome annals of discrimination: the Beauty Queen.
The latest sacrifice to the bottomless hunger of the gay liberal hate monster is Miss Beverly Hills, Lauren Ashley. Ashley simply quoted an innocent line from the Bible:
If man lies with mankind as he would lie with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination. They shall surely be put to death and their blood shall be upon them.
It's the Bible, you liberals. When you persecute Lauren Ashley, you are persecuting God! And beauty queens!
Most people have no idea how long beauty queens have been suffering from discrimination by liberals and gays. In 1977, former Miss Oklahoma and Florida Citrus spokeswoman, Anita Bryant tried to stop gays from getting special privileges in Miami, like the privilege of not getting fired. You'd think the gays would be happy that they weren't getting stoned. Well guess what, when you give gays special privileges, you're really just discriminating against beauty queens. This is what Anita Bryant wrote:
If this ordinance amendment is allowed to become law, you will in fact be infringing upon my right or rather DISCRIMINATING against me as a citizen and mother to teach my children and set examples or point to others as examples of God's moral code as stated in the Holy Scriptures.
Well then the gays got mad, and they started DISCRIMINATING against Anita Bryant even more by boycotting orange juice and sending her postcards that said, "We are switching to prune juice, and we will send you the results." Poor Anita had to hold a hold a press conference and refer to herself in the third person to say that "the blacklisting of Anita Bryant has begun."
It's been open season on beauty queens ever since. When Miss California, Carrie Prejean objected to gay marriage, they called her names and took away her crown. Then they gave it back and took it away again just to be jerks. Bill O'Reilly reported that the "spirit" of Carrie's First Amendment rights were violated by the "unbelievable attacks, personal attacks." Violating the spirit of people's rights is even worse than violating their actual rights.
But the most abused beauty queen of all time is, of course, Sarah Palin. She has been "reviled," "hated, "detested," "intensely disliked," "targeted," "smeared," "ridiculed," "patronized," "distorted," "looked down on," "hacked," "attacked," "opposition researched," "assassinated," and worst of all, "sarah-palined." Like Rush Limbaugh said, "They are literally trying to destroy not just her career, but her reputation."
I call on the government to put a stop to this genocidal discrimination against beauty queens. We need to expand the Federal hate crimes law to remove sexual orientation and replace it with beauty pageant participation. Don't talk to me about Matthew Shepard's suffering, not while Sarah Palin's life and career is being destroyed before our very eyes.

SPIN METER: Rivals airbrush anti-Romney words
By Nancy Benac, Associated Press, May 16, 2012
After the nastiness of the Republican primary race, former candidates have collective amnesia about Romney disses
Note to self: you think you're so smart about this kinda stuff, but you yourself fell for it once again.....so much for all the prognostication about one of our political parties disintegrating from all the primary campaign animosity.

Assessing the Representativeness of Public Opinion Surveys
Pew Resarch Center for the People and the Press, May 15, 2012
For decades survey research has provided trusted data about political attitudes and voting behavior, the economy, health, education, demography and many other topics. But political and media surveys are facing significant challenges as a consequence of societal and technological changes.
It has become increasingly difficult to contact potential respondents and to persuade them to participate. The percentage of households in a sample that are successfully interviewed – the response rate – has fallen dramatically. At Pew Research, the response rate of a typical telephone survey was 36% in 1997 and is just 9% today. The general decline in response rates is evident across nearly all types of surveys, in the United States and abroad. At the same time, greater effort and expense are required to achieve even the diminished response rates of today. These challenges have led many to question whether surveys are still providing accurate and unbiased information [....]

Ride of Silence
On May 16, 2012 at 7:00 PM, the Ride of Silence will begin in North America and roll across the globe. Cyclists will take to the roads in a silent procession to honor cyclists who have been killed or injured while cycling on public roadways. Although cyclists have a legal right to share the road with motorists, the motoring public often isn't aware of these rights, and sometimes not aware of the cyclists themselves.
...
The Ride of Silence is a free ride that asks its cyclists to ride no faster than 12 mph, wear helmets, follow the rules of the road and remain silent during the ride. There are no sponsors and no registration fees. The ride, which is held during National Bike Month, aims to raise the awareness of motorists, police and city officials that cyclists have a legal right to the public roadways. The ride is also a chance to show respect for and honor the lives of those who have been killed or injured.

Sugar makes you stupid: Study shows high-fructose diet...
A new UCLA rat study is the first to show how a diet steadily high in fructose slows the brain, hampering memory and learning — and how omega-3 fatty acids can counteract the disruption. The peer-reviewed Journal of Physiology publishes the findings in its May 15 edition.
"Our findings illustrate that what you eat affects how you think," said Fernando Gomez-Pinilla, a professor of neurosurgery at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA and a professor of integrative biology and physiology in the UCLA College of Letters and Science. "Eating a high-fructose diet over the long term alters your brain's ability to learn and remember information. But adding omega-3 fatty acids to your meals can help minimize the damage."
While earlier research has revealed how fructose harms the body through its role in diabetes, obesity and fatty liver, this study is the first to uncover how the sweetener influences the brain.
The UCLA team zeroed in on high-fructose corn syrup, an inexpensive liquid six times sweeter than cane sugar, that is commonly added to processed foods, including soft drinks, condiments, applesauce and baby food. The average American consumes more than 40 pounds of high-fructose corn syrup per year, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
"We're not talking about naturally occurring fructose in fruits, which also contain important antioxidants," explained Gomez-Pinilla, who is also a member of UCLA's Brain Research Institute and Brain Injury Research Center. "We're concerned about high-fructose corn syrup that is added to manufactured food products as a sweetener and preservative."[Better write this down]

Insider tells why Anonymous ‘might well be the most...
Christopher Doyon, a.k.a. Commander X, sits atop a hillside in an undisclosed location in Canada, watching a reporter and photographer make their way along a narrow path to join him, away from the prying eyes of law enforcement.
It’s been a few weeks of encrypted emails back and forth, working out the security protocol to follow for interviewing Doyon, one of the brains behind Anonymous, now a fugitive from the FBI.
Doyon, who readily admits taking part in some of the highest-profile hacktivist attacks on websites last year — from Tunisia to Orlando, Sony to PayPal — was arrested in September for a comparatively minor assault on the county website of Santa Cruz, Calif., where he was living, in retaliation for the town forcibly removing a homeless encampment on the courthouse steps.
The “virtual sit-in” lasted half an hour. For that, Doyon is facing 15 years in jail.

I would like to point out that Ms. Ashley was wearing garments woven from multiple kinds of thread, and (shameless hussy that she is) allowing strange men to gaze upon her uncovered hair. I rest my case.
I bet that she gathers sticks on the sabbath as well. Stone her!
(Now I'm thinking of cheesy Sabbatarian pick up lines. "If you're not supposed to start a fire on Shabat, what are you going to do with those eyes?")
That line is grounds for permanent banning from dagblog. You're on probation now, so watch it..
That's fair.
In a way, I have some measure of respect for the people who are making some kind of effort to actually read and live by the book that they blaim to be so into. The "buffet style" Christians are way less fun. Now if only we had more bull burning and stoning going on, then we'd have some real fun on our hands.
I think it's truly unbelievable that you are literally comparing someone tragically losing their life to Sarah Palin's failing career. You can recover from brutal comments, you can't recover from someone brutally killing you.
Gee, when you put it that way, it seems so obvious.
Am I missing something here?
If you're really, thoroughly gay, you would NOT lie with a woman under any circumstances, right? So you've got a free pass, Bible-wise.
great point, canuck. btw, not too mention, a total free pass for lesbians. god rocks!
Michel Foucault would suggest that no one is really, thoroughly gay. He would suggest that the homosexual versus heterosexual dichotomy is an invention of the modern era.
Of course, he was into leather and S&M, so take that with a grain of salt…
When someone who's into gay bondage says that even he isn't entirely gay, I think that's kind of hard to discount.
Being a tech-head, I'm really ignorant about Queer Theory, so I'm really just going on my ignorant observations, but I think the dichotomy between heterosexuals and homosexuals is not just an invention. I.e., I think there are real, genetic differences (although I don't want to oversimplify it, either) between heterosexual and homosexual males. (I know next to nothing about women, and even less about homosexual women.) Of course, Foucault was fighting against the idea that there's something deviant (i.e., "wrong") with homosexuals, not just that they're different. Also, he died in the '80s before a lot of the recent genetic discoveries were made. I do know that there are a lot of homosexuals who don't care for his theories, either, as they can be easily misconstrued to support the idea that homosexuality can be "cured" (although Foucault himself would never suggest such a thing, of course).
