Note…
…that for today I’m taking a little vacay from politics.
It should come as a relief to you; it certainly does me. Sometimes I just can’t deal with what seems like the task of pointing out the same stuff over and over.
But I doubt it’s a relief to you that I used the word “vacay” in that first sentence. Going against type, I am. I also learned (because I just can’t resist looking things up) that the word had its maiden voyage in the movie “Legally Blonde.”
Cool
i sent you a thing you should read…
ie. remember journolist?
how about a Rad Fem version where professionals at universities, in child care, famous authors, and so on. sit around and talk about how they are moving things to extermination, eugenics, euthanasia, and wanting to do things that would make Nazis look like nice people!!!
ie. you would be so surprised as to how prevalent and hidden this is
there is now coming out over 250 megs of papers that talk about throwing children out the window, murdering boys they babysit for. and a lot more..
the talks as to using gay men, and such as useful idiots to use to help their movement. if your a normal person, you would be aghast that anyone could talk
these are NOT Fringe people.. they make policy!!!
they are published people,, they are on policy boards, peer review for journals, UN policy, and on and on.

Christmas came early for the MRAs this year. Earlier this week, a generous soul calling himself AgentOrange posted a 165 MB present online for them, an assortment of super-secret internet postings from a private forum connected to the RadFem Hub, which Mr. Orange collected by bravely going behind enemy lines and, er, screencapping a bunch
some quotes from Rad Fem Hub.
(and remember Neo’s question as to making policy)

Women need to stop raising male children. Women who raise male children are digging the graves of other females. Nobody wants to bite that bullet (except lesbian separatists) but it must be done.

Pamela O’Shaughnessy, who co-authors legal thrillers with her sister Mary for Simon and Schuster under the pseudonym Perri O’Shaughnessy, is a Harvard grad who practiced law for 16 years.
She is also, according to the preponderance of available evidence, Vliet Tiptree, a self-identified radical feminist blogger whose writings suggest a desire to promote extralegal efforts to genetically modify the male half of the human race in order to correct what she calls the “[B]light [that] diseases the trunk of our species’ existence…”
Tiptree (Pamela) tacitly or directly concludes the following:
That masculinity, by its nature, is a human social pathogen requiring “extirpation.”
That the various incarnations of feminism previously thought to ameliorate the “problem” have actually been absorbed and diluted by patriarchy, which she now refers to as “the system.”
That biochemical alteration of men, as a collective, is a feasible means to address the problem.
That end means and goals, along with scientific capability, should serve as the guiding rationale and compass for future actions, not human morality or rule of law.
That radical feminists, free of social and legal constraints, must now secretly organize to further these ideas under the auspices of eradicating women’s oppression.
An effective means of extirpating the diseased vestige of men is sought, even a “biological treatment”, because the more time honored means of advancing a political ideology by debate, diplomacy and majority rule democracy, may not succeed.
In Australia, a radical feminist conference named after Solanas’s manifesto for genocide was held between September 23-25th, 2011. Two members of the Radfem Hub and Radfem forum, Danielle Elina Pynnonen (Allecto) and her partner, Kat “Kitten Pinder (Amazon Mancrusher) organized and hosted the three day event in Perth, which they called the ‘SCUM Conference’.
Society for Cutting up Men
For reference, Danielle Elina Pynnonen is the child-care worker who labeled a 9 year old boy in her care as “Mr Rape Threat,” and discussed the open desire to harm him and other male children in her care.
Quoting her comments on the rad-fem-hub site:
I honestly have been reassessing the fact that I am giving care to these little future rapists, and what that says about me and my separatism. I know it is kinda going against my principles to support and care for these little fuckers.
Well-deserved, neo. Enjoy your break, enjoy yourself.
There’s a lot to be said for chilling out when one “just can’t deal with what seems like the task of pointing out the same stuff over and over.” It ^is^ often the same stuff, in essence, dressed in a new incarnation. Phooey on that.
Of course, I don’t know you personally at all, but three or so blog entries a day six days a week must take a toll after a point. Take tomorrow off, too, and then you’ll have Sunday off as well. We’ll be lookin’ for ya . . .
Yes beating you’re head on a wall can suck after while. Get the batteries charged up and come back swinging! I have been using vacay since the 70s’.
Everyone needs a vacay once in a while Neo.
But if you ever start saying cray cray we will start to worry 🙂

“I am not a number. I am a free neoneocon!”
Absolutely in favor of taking a break from politics.
Hate the word “vacay”.
“Mental health day” is certainly appropriate, however.
Well as long as diet & obesity are not mentioned you should have momentary spell of peace & quiet. Enjoy your repose.
Neo,
Enjoy your well-deserved [can’t bring myself to type it], however you may be spending it.
Takes the pressure off me to keep up with your postings and the comment threads.
Thanks for the break.
But not too long…
“We want… information…”
Neoneo: while you are on vacay (eye roll) : ) , call your computer person and see if you can get a “Follow this Thread” – email me when there are responses to this post – for the commenter. For example, I wish to return to the return of Kolnai a few days ago, but I have to scroll and scroll and scroll to find him whereas if there were such a button, I’d be notified in email when a new comment appears. I don’t know how to make one of these buttons myself, but they are a wonderful thing. You have amassed such a treasure trove of smart commenters, this button would just make us all the more smart: smarter than 6th graders, just like Di Fi (7th grade, maybe? what would a good shrink say? Di Fi fears she is in the 6th grade, maybe?)
Enjoy your vacay : )
I understand your vacay from politics. Wouldn’t we all like to just go to bed, pull the covers up over our heads, and shut it ALL out.
We may want to get away from politics, but alas politics will not leave us alone. Turned on Fox this morning to watch their market commentary and what did I get? None other than Sarah Palin holding forth at CPAC. And a grand holding forth it was. She knows chapter and verse of the Conservative Bible and was preaching it in full throat. Just grand. I do hope she will run for the Senate in 2014. She would be a fine addition to join Cruz, Rubio, Paul, Lee, and others of like mind.
Nice work artfldgr.

THE WASHINGTON POST HITS OBAMA!
Finally, the Washington Post speaks out on Obama! This is very brutal, timely though. As I’m sure you know, the Washington Post newspaper has a reputation for being extremely liberal. So the fact that its editor saw fit to print the following article about Obama in its newspaper makes this a truly amazing event and a news story in and of itself. At last, the truth about our President and his obvious socialist agenda are starting to trickle through the é¢â‚¬Å“protective wall鯿½ built around him by our liberal media.
I too have become disillusioned
By Matt Patterson (columnist – Washington Post, New York Post, San Francisco Examiner)
Years from now, historians may regard the 2008 election of Barack Obama as an inscrutable and disturbing phenomenon, the result of a baffling breed of mass hysteria akin perhaps to the witch craze of the Middle Ages. How, they will wonder, did a man so devoid of professional accomplishment beguile so many into thinking he could manage the world’s largest economy, direct the world’s most powerful military, execute the world’s most consequential job? Imagine a future historian examining Obama’s pre-presidential life: ushered into and through the Ivy League despite unremarkable grades and test scores along the way; a cushy non-job as a “community organizer”; a brief career as a state legislator devoid of legislative achievement (and in fact nearly devoid of his attention, so often did he vote “present”); and finally an unaccomplished single term in the United States Senate, the entirety of which was devoted to his presidential ambitions.
He left no academic legacy in academia, authored no signature legislation as a legislator. And then there is the matter of his troubling associations: the white-hating, America-loathing preacher who for decades served as Obama’s “spiritual mentor”; a real-life, actual terrorist who served as Obama’s colleague and political sponsor. It is easy to imagine a future historian looking at it all and asking: how on Earth was such a man elected president?
Not content to wait for history, the incomparable Norman Podhoretz addressed the question recently in the Wall Street Journal: To be sure, no white candidate who had close associations with an outspoken hater of America like Jeremiah Wright and an unrepentant terrorist like Bill Ayers, would have lasted a single day. But because Mr. Obama was black, and therefore entitled in the eyes of liberal Dom to have hung out with protesters against various American injustices, even if they were a bit extreme, he was given a pass. Let that sink in: Obama was given a pass – held to a lower standard – because of the color of his skin.
Podhoretz continues: And in any case, what did such ancient history matter when he was also so articulate and elegant and (as he himself had said) “non-threatening,” all of which gave him a fighting chance to become the first black president and thereby to lay the curse of racism to rest?
Podhoretz puts his finger, I think, on the animating pulse of the Obama phenomenon – affirmative action. Not in the legal sense, of course. But certainly in the motivating sentiment behind all affirmative action laws and regulations, which are designed primarily to make white people, and especially white liberals, feel good about themselves.
Unfortunately, minorities often suffer so that whites can pat themselves on the back. Liberals routinely admit minorities to schools for which they are not qualified, yet take no responsibility for the inevitable poor performance and high drop-out rates which follow. Liberals don’t care if these minority students fail; liberals aren’t around to witness the emotional devastation and deflated self-esteem resulting from the racist policy that is affirmative action. Yes, racist. Holding someone to a separate standard merely because of the color of his skin – that’s affirmative action in a nutshell, and if that isn’t racism, then nothing is.
And that is what America did to Obama. True, Obama himself was never troubled by his lack of achievements, but why would he be? As many have noted, Obama was told he was good enough for Columbia despite undistinguished grades at Occidental; he was told he was good enough for the US Senate despite a mediocre record in Illinois ; he was told he was good enough to be president despite no record at all in the Senate. All his life, every step of the way, Obama was told he was good enough for the next step, in spite of ample evidence to the contrary.
What could this breed if not the sort of empty narcissism on display every time Obama speaks? In 2008, many who agreed that he lacked executive qualifications nonetheless raved about Obama’s oratory skills, intellect, and cool character. Those people – conservatives included – ought now to be deeply embarrassed.
The man thinks and speaks in the hoariest of clich郩s, and that’s when he has his Teleprompters in front of him; when the prompter is absent he can barely think or speak at all. Not one original idea has ever issued from his mouth – it’s all warmed-over Marxism of the kind that has failed over and over again for 100 years.
And what about his character?
Obama is constantly blaming anything and everything else for his troubles. Bush did it; it was bad luck; I inherited this mess. It is embarrassing to see a president so willing to advertise his own powerlessness, so comfortable with his own incompetence. But really, what were we to expect? The man has never been responsible for anything, so how do we expect him to act responsibly?
In short: our president is a small and small-minded man, with neither the temperament nor the intellect to handle his job. When you understand that, and only when you understand that, will the current erosion of liberty and prosperity make sense. It could not have gone otherwise with such a man in the Oval Office.
The dispensable one. The people who put him where he is knew it all along. I knew it. I said it here. Most of your readers knew it too.
