Flotsam and jetsam: Cagey quote compendium

Let's ring in the new year with some good quotes.

From an article about leftists in Hollywood criticizing the Obama White House:

The leftists in Hollywood believe - as SERFS do - that, once "It is accomplished" (their socialist agenda), things will just be BETTER. What they fail to understand is that THEY are the very vehicles for the opiate delivery system of slavery. Once successful, the movement won't need them, and, thus - will simply eliminate them. Once the government has control of everything, there will not only be no NEED for their services - freedom of expression will no longer even be TOLERATED. They are ushering in their own (and our) slavery. The "court jesters" will only be given influence for so long before their king settles all matters, for once-and for all.


From the comments of an article regarding the Girl Scouts' admission of a so-called transgender 7 year old boy:

“He is a 7 year old boy, so he can not be a girl scout!! He is not a girl and doesn't know what transgende­r means. I have a 5 year old who wants to be a ninja, but I cannot raise him like a ninja because that would be absurd. When this child grows up he will have options to explore but he is a boy and theres nothing any of us can do about that now.”

From an article by Selwyn Duke on the flawed nature of atheism:

LINK: http://thenewamerican.com/opinion/selwyn-duke/10238-christopher-hitchens-godlessness-is-not-great-how-atheism-poisons-everything

That is to say, Hitchens claimed that religion was the cause of all sorts of bad things, such as “sexism,” murder, and oppression. Yet can you scientifically prove that anything is bad? If there is no God, it follows that what we label “morality” is just an invention of man. But then what is it but consensus opinion, but perspective? Sure, we may take it as axiomatic that murder is wrong, but an axiom is a self-evident truth that requires no evidence. And what was Hitchens’ famous saying?

“That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.”



Quotes from the comments on an article about "gay" coffee:

Being gay is something to tolerate, not "celebrate".
Associating things with homosexuality in order to be trendy and gain favor with the morally and socially misguided is just another of a long line of examples of the decay of our society and "defining deviancy down".

From the comments of an article about a lady who donated a kidney to a complete stranger:
Being a christian is irrelevant - Andy, Portsmouth, 29/12/2011 7:45
----------------------Andy, no one is trying to take away the credit from this wonderful lady, but we should not take away her faith either, the very faith that drove her to believe 'God said it was right'. The problem with Atheism is: when a person commits an inhuman crime against another in the name of religion, then 'religion is the root of all evil', yet when someone is driven by their faith in God to do something they themselves believe they will not do if not for their faith, atheists don't want to acknowledge the fact that the idea of God isn't bad after all. (spelling corrected) 



From an article about Girl Scouts of America misdirecting and misleading Girl Scouts to trust left-wing propaganda machine Media Matters:
Hey Encinom, I’m not religious, nor do I give a rat’s behind about religious issues in politics, but this goes way beyond religion. The liberal philosophy is NOT something I want to indoctrinate my children with. The last thing I want to see is my children grow up becoming your typical whiny, spoiled, petty, entitled, crybaby, “victim,” liberals. I actually want them to be independent, strong, and open-minded, not some self-serving, self-righteous, 2-faced pseudointellectual preaching open-mindedness and tolerance, while stereotyping and generalizing against anyone who disagrees with them. You leftists are absolutely pathetic, and are no different than any religioius fanatic, or brainwashed collective-think sheep in N.Korea et al. In many ways, you are no different than the little hormonal girls you are trying to brainwash in the Girl Scouts. So go back to Media Matters, and stroke your insecure ego. After all, you bear no responsibility for anything you do, huh? It’s all the fault of someone else. Dingbat.

From the comments in a forum discussing the poor treatment of a video gamer by a customer sales rep:
You nerds are sublimating all of your pent-up anger and shame from all of the childhood bullying you ever suffered on Mr. Christoforo. Give it up. Continuing to beat up on him will never compensate for your prior and current athletic and social inadequacies. You have become the bullies you revile -- except with no varsity letter and no cheerleader poontang. So go back to your geek lairs in your parents' basements and resume posting pictures of your cats and toothy homeschooled wives. The winners will be collecting our year-end bonuses shortly, and snorting cocaine off of the asses of hotties you can only dream about. /dons asbestos suit
Russ1642: buckler: Nihilist's Guide to Reticent Entropy: So basically, in order for me to succeed in this world, I have to be willing to take advantage of the kindness of a teacher or "save the world" type of person, and in order to get their attention, I have to seem defective in the first place.


~~
P1: Seeming non-defective works against me because nobody like this wants to come to my rescue and fix me. And here I am, thinking I shouldn't beg or look for charity, when the real way to succeed is to find someone charitable and milk them dry. Well, apparently being a type-A Alpha male who's little more than a bully who's willing to connive and step on anyone you have to in order to advance works well, too. Nice, huh?


P2: Find a book on sociopathy or psychopathy. You'll see that Christoforo fits the model very well. These are the kinds of people who can do pretty much any act, up to and including murder, and then justify it afterwards. They think they're the victim, that they've done nothing wrong. Pretty much the last people on the planet you want to emulate.                                                                                                                                  
P1: This wraps it up nicely. I really wonder what it would be like to be a complete sociopath for a day, completely uncaring about the consequences of any act I did even if I get caught doing it.

From a Washington Times article quoting outspoken Rep. Michelle Bachman on the problems of government regulation and business formation:
Our tax code has 3.8 million words and is too complicated for the average American to understand, and it has a corporate tax rate of almost 40 percent that makes America hopelessly uncompetitive. It advantages companies large enough to hire an army of lawyers to exploit it. I’ll end the practice of crony capitalism and special-interest influence in Washington because, as a federal tax lawyer, I’ll abolish the tax code, the place where most of Washington’s influence peddling occurs. I’ll replace it with one that is simpler, fairer and flatter, in which every American pays something, even if it is $10 a year, because every American has a stake in America.

 Reforming our tax code and ending crony capitalism will send a signal to small businesses, the true job-creation engine of our economy, that they’ll be treated the same as large corporations. Lowering corporate tax rates will make American businesses more competitive and keep them from shipping jobs overseas. That overhaul will include repatriating the more than $1 trillion held overseas by U.S. corporations that could have an immediate private-sector stimulative effect on our economy. These economic policies will send a signal that we will enact permanent free-market solutions for our economy and end the temporary gimmicks that have had such devastating effects.

From the comments in a forum discussing whether hipsters find Kindles or old books trendier:
What makes you a hipster online changes so fast that you can go from being a boring asshole to a hipster and back again several times a day.
What makes you a hipster in real life is those stupid hipster glasses.
sigdiamond2000: So wait...am I or am I not a hipster for reading books
I want to make sure I'm not offending the sensibilities of the fat, sexless loser who keeps submitting these "hipster" headlines.
Butthurt much?
The cute thing about hipsters is they appear to represent themselves as intellectuals, yet appear to accept/reject others on superficialities.
Anyway, I like physical books because I can get them for as little as FREE and I can give them to people when I'm done with them.
