Hangups

Mother's Day card 

It's finally come to this: a school in Canada has determined that Mother's Day and Father's Day are non-inclusive and therefore will not be celebrated at the institution.

The Dartmouth elementary school said it is aiming to celebrate diversity and inclusivity while avoiding making children who are part of non-traditional families feel left out.

“Children can be isolated in a classroom if they’ve lost their mom or are in a family without a dad or in a family with two moms or two dads,” Education Minister Ramona Jennex recently told CTV Atlantic.

Well, we certainly wouldn't want a precious snowflake's feelings to be hurt, now would we? While, quite frankly, the two days have always seemed contrived - much like Secretary's Day, just another opportunity for Hallmark and their ilk to peddle off $5 pieces of paper - the action seems, once again, to exemplify political correctness run amok. Increasingly, it seems that the Leftists who predominate in all institutions of public vegetation insist upon foisting their own personal hangups onto other peoples' kids.

We Love Diversity - Unless You're A White Hetero Guy

The tolerant™ kids at Northwestern University have rejected a nominee for associate vice president of diversity and inclusion, a part of their Associated Student Government, on the grounds that said nominee is a white, heterosexual male.

“This university is not ready, in any capacity, for a heterosexual white male to be in charge in any way of diversity and inclusion,” said Ian Coley, a member of the diversity committee. “I don’t know if any university is.”

Sometimes the stories of liberal Tolerance™ just write themselves.

Remember, only conservative TEA Party types are racist bigots. They teach that at university, so it has to be true.

Butthurt Babes

A poor little cyclist fell off her little bike after getting a wheel caught in a space at a railroad crossing. Rather than realizing that it's her job to pay attention to hazards, she is - of course - suing. The idiocy just keeps on coming. She doesn't deserve a dime. Even other cyclists agree, and some are upset because she's giving them all a bad name. No worries there - their reputation's not all that great among a lot of folks, anyway.

And a pair of lesbians who want to get "married" in Hood River (despite the fact that such a thing isn't recognized in Oregon) are all butthurt because the owner of a bakery there won't bake them a cake for their Big Day. So naturally, rather than find another bakery, they need to go on t.v. to talk about how butthurt they are. Hood River's beautiful and scenic, yeah - but maybe they should've taken the time to look here. Or maybe they did, and deliberately chose to go to the "homophobic" epicenter of Oregon just to make a big deal out of things. Hmmm?

105-Year-Old Confederate Statue Suddenly Intimidating

A statue of a Confederate soldier that's stood outside an historic courthouse in Virginia for over a century is now under fire because some folks claim that they find it "intimidating". What poor, poor, albeit precious, little snowflakes we have today.

Student Loan "Slavery"?

Rhiannon owes more than $160,000 on loans that she willingly signed into in order to obtain her coveted Bachelors' degree in Sociology, and is now complaining that her monthly payments are more than she earns in a month - she lives with her Mom and Dad, and they chip in $500 a month on her debts.

I fully understood that by taking out college loans, I would have to pay them back. I thought I could still afford to live while doing so, though. I can't afford a one-room apartment, transportation anywhere, groceries or any other necessities. I thought after college I'd at least be able to afford (after the aforementioned expenses) some indulgences in life, such as eating out, purchasing a book, and more.

Gee, maybe she should have done some research before signing up for that much debt. Had she done so, she'd have foud that her so-so-ology degree is worth about as much in the marketplace as a degree in art history. People who get degrees in engineering and other actual sciences generally have good-paying jobs waiting as soon as they graduate. Now reality's biting her in her ample behind, and she's whining about the logical results of the poor choices she made. Thanks to people like her, student debt today is somewhat in excess of $3 trillion. Evidently, they don't understand deep concepts like ROI.

America is still a country in which everybody has equal opportunity; success is not guaranteed. And these idiots view themselves as "victims of wage-slavery".

They Aren't Happy

Dr. Bernard Nathanson, known as a "King of abortion", would later be an active member of a pro-life/anti-abortion organization. 

NARAL and others in the abortion lobby are desperately spinning the criminal convictions of abortionist Kermit Gosnell; on the one hand, they note that "justice was served" for the "atrocities he committed". On the other hand, it's all the fault of "anti-choice" politicians whose unrelenting efforts to deny women access to safe and legal abortion care, will only drive more women to back-alley butchers like Kermit Gosnell.

"Kermit Gosnell has been found guilty and will get what he deserves. Now, let's make sure these women are vindicated by delivering what all women deserve: access to the full range of health services including safe, high-quality and legal abortion care," said Ilyse G. Hogue, president of NARAL Pro-Choice America.

It may seem odd that they call Gosnell's acts "atrocities", as like Barky himself, many of them favor "post-birth abortion", but they have to do that if they hope to head off the Congressional investigation into abortion centers across the country that Right to Life organizations are now pushing for. So the abortion lobby's spinning, but it may be too late; it appears that such an investigation is already in the works:

There is ample evidence that Dr. Gosnell is not alone in committing these inhuman acts, and we commend Congress for initiating an investigation into clinics nationwide.”

No Wonder Garbage Haulers Are Now Classified As "Green Jobs"

Green Jobs Not Jails (Photo credit: Brooke Anderson)

We all knew that the "green jobs" mythology relentlessly pursued by Barky and other Democratics was a colossal waste of money, but stats now out from the Barky administration's DOE are truly phenomenal:

For the over $26 billion spent since 2009, DOE Section 1703 and 1705 loan guarantees have created only 2,298 permanent jobs for a cost of over $11.45 million per job.

Back in 2008, Barky claimed he'd "create" five million jobs over ten years by "investing" (Democrat for "waste money") in "renewable energy". Evidently, it was one of those promises that looked great on a teleprompter.

It's worth noting that this number's just the tip of the proverbial iceberg; it doesn't include the millions of dollars that state and local Democratics have "invested" as well. Former Porkland mayor Sammy Adams and former Oregon governor Teddy Kulongoski handed over tens of millions of dollars to companies like SoloPower, SolarWorld, Vestas, Iberdola, and ReVolt - with little or nothing to show for it. Most, if not all of those companies are either belly-up or in the process of going belly-up. But it sure made for some great pressers and photo-ops.

The U.S. Department of Vegetation will be introducing new student aid forms next year that eliminate discriminatory terms such as "father" and "mother". It's all about being "inclusive", you know. It's really incredibly important to be "inclusive"; don't want anybody's feelings to get hurt.

“These changes will allow us to more precisely calculate federal student aid eligibility based on what a student’s whole family is able to contribute and ensure taxpayer dollars are better targeted toward those students who have the most need, as well as provide an inclusive form that reflects the diversity of American families.”

The stupid...it burns.

Yet More Inconvenient Tooths

Porkland City Council tried to unilaterally fluoridate our pure drinking water. It's For The Children™! In an amazingly short period of time, opponents collected about twice the number of signatures needed to put the matter to a vote, and presently, proponents are flooding the airwaves with more "it's for the children™!" stuff. One particular favorite is the one in which a woman says that growing up, she had good teeth because her water was fluoridated. "But Porkland", she whines, "doesn't".

Here's a piece of advice for that woman, and for others like her: move back to wherever you came from.

You know, these young, know-it-all transplants are a crashing pain. Not a one of them knows anything about the early to mid-20th century, because (a) they weren't yet born and (b) history isn't taught in public schools any more - but they all know how to put a condom on a pickle! Priorities, you know.

Anyway, some of remember when radium was painted onto watch and clock numerals. It was even incorporated into toothpastes, cosmetics, chocolates, and more. At that time, nobody knew how dangerous the stuff could be. Really - they just didn't know.

And to this day, nobody knows exactly what fluoride does, or how it works. Interestingly, tooth cavities have declined by nearly 20% across Oregon, and by 10% in Multnomah County - which, thanks to the tireless efforts of Porkland's "leaders" to attract them - has the highest proportion of drug addicts and homeless folks in the state.

One thing's certain: somebody stands to make a lot of money out of involuntary medication via the Porkland water supply; proponents are spending a ton of cash on television and radio ad purchases. They're not doing that for fun - or for your health.

They Come To America

You have to hand it to Oregon gov. Retread and his fellow Democratics: their passage of the new law giving illegal aliens in-state tuition and the latest addition - giving them drivers' licenses - have accomplished the seemingly impossible. Who would have believed that Republicans, Independents, and even Democratics would come together on any issue?

Yet it's happening now. When the petitions to overturn the drivers' license law starts circulating, it looks as though they'll get more than enough signatures, and likely in record time. Folks from all parties, including many Democratics, are saying that they'll sign - and vote to overturn. There are the occasional far-Left droolers threatening violence, of course, but they can be ignored because like their fearful leader, they're all hat and no cattle.
