Eloquently put. I remember you from the old days. Where have you been hiding?

BTW, I’m now officially “banned”.

I’m taking it really hard to. I swear I haven’t been this devastated since Fox cancelled the Chevy Chase Show.

The only thing “off the rails” are the cretins pushing creationism/intelligent design “theory.” This is one thing Charles should be congratulated for exposing to a wider audience.

Oh well, he seems to be correct about McCain anyway. Evil can be quite banal. But Charles might bear in mind that evil loves an echo chamber.

As for the Stacy McCain quote that has got you all in a self-righteous tizzy, well, this is from the introduction of historian Niall Ferguson’s “The War of the World”:

“For there is evidence from the behavior of both humans and other species that nature does not necessarily favour breeding between genetically very different members of the same species,…,Some evolutionary biologists argue that this was a result just not of ‘genetic drift’ but of ‘sexual selection’ – in other words a culturally triggered and somewhat arbitrary preference for eye-folds in Asia or long noses in Europe quite rapidly accentuated precisely those characteristics in populations that were isolated from each other. Like attracted and continues to attract like: those who are drawn to ‘the Other’ may in fact be atypical in their sexual predilections.”

Is Ferguson’s point that much different from the one Stacy McCain makes? That ole science is a b*tch; it doesn’t always reinforce the beliefs of politically correct liberals.

I guess somebody needs to notify Harvard. It looks like they have a “white supremacist” on their faculty.

And what is it with the obsessive monitoring and “flouncing” and threats to “flounce” and the juvenile gloating over having banned commenters over there? If you offend Comrade Beria and his flunkies, he might let you stick around if you grovel and apologize. Being a regular on LGF is so important to these people that adults are willing to put up with that sort of treatment? If you have any amount of self-respect, why would you want to hang out at a blog where you are declared double plus ungood as soon as you express an opinion contrary to The Great Leader’s?

LGF is indeed “a true internet dictatorship.” We’re supposed to believe that they represent the voice of moderation?

I was a regular there too once. I stopped reading it a couple of years ago. Going back there now and scanning the comments threads makes me feel like I’ve landed in the alternate universe with bearded Spock at the helm.

And he’ll ban you if you don’t sing “Amen!”.

Atheist, my butt.

In response, R.S.McCain gives one of the best comebacks and defenses of the South and conservatism I have ever read. Read it all. It has that Jeff Goldstein quality of never give in, never surrender.

Point I.

Point II.

Point III.

I even got invited by some one to defend a bit of fusion science (The Polywell Fusion Reactor) and just couldn’t bring myself to do it.

And of course you have all the Tenth Amendment States. Passing laws limiting Federal reach.

I dunno. Seems like a respectable possition to me. Now I’m not a succesioinist myself. But the Feds have gone way too far.

There is probably some of that for sure. But then you have to explain Ashkenazi Jews.

There is DNA when it comes to many body characteristics. I don’t see why brains would be an exception. I wrote a bit on the topic:

Inequality

===

BTW I have never found VDARE to be bigoted. Their premise is that large population shifts will change the culture. Which it will. I’m OK with that. The VDARE folks don’t like it. Which I think is a fair position.

But I do have problems with Lew Rockwell. And have told him so. Although I like his stance on many issues other than race.

Banning Zombie will be suicide. I think it’s going to happen.

101. Ezekiel:

So writers act of racism in the NY Press article was to postulate that there is a basic and inherent fear in humans of those that look different from themselves or their community?

As I said in 62, Stacey didn’t say anything that Obama didn’t say. But that’s different, isn’t it?

—————–

Heh. I remember you saying on some thread about some race hysteria (maybe during the Jeremiah Wright scandal?) “I’m a person of color.” I hope to see liberated former LGFers posting at conservative and libertarian blogs.

I also see doom on the horizon for zombie. The execrable Sharmuta writes tonight:

I’m wondering if I should question what I’ve seen of leftist protests for the last 8 years, because I’m pretty sure similar amounts of “cherry-picking” could be said to have occurred, and probably did.

Turning on zombie? As CJ would say, bad craziness!

“The fetus, given the opportunity to develop properly before birth, and given the essential early socializing experiences and sufficient nourishing food during the crucial early years after birth, will ultimately develop into a human being. Where any of these essential elements is lacking, the resultant individual will be deficient in some respect.”

Pointing out the sick views of that stain is “manufactured outrage” at LGF, and his eugenicist views are somehow are not allowed to reflect on Obama, or LGF who appears to defend them. You want guilt by association over there? There you go.

good times

I think you’re right, at least when it comes to zombie. Zombie’s been on the list since the Jones fiasco. The move to discredit zombie’s work is advancing. This was a comment made earlier today by one of the chief suck-ups.

“re: #35 noshariaincanada

my own take from viewing coverage of the event from different sites is similar to yours. You can always cherrypick images if you want to make a point, but the sheer number of people reported makes it unlikely (imho) that the above images are actually represenative of the event [with all due respect to the lizard master]”

Interesting theory. How do we know if the protest events of the last 8 years weren’t similarly “cherry-picked”? If other people’s work was indeed “cherry-picked” is it acceptable to do the same now, or should we question what we’ve been led to believe about leftist protests for the last 8 years?

Just wondering.}

Looks like they are getting ready for an under the bus toss over there.
