Judge Ye Not Islam, For Ye Are To Blame

Indeed it has become quite curious, with apologies to Lewis Carroll.  The news today seems as though it may have come from Wonderland, as disjointed and out-of-orbit as insanity would have it.  The Kenyan's bizarre rant at the National Prayer Breakfast leaves one wondering if the man has gone 'round the bend, so ludicrous were his comments.  But where to begin?  To insinuate that there's a moral equivalency between the acts of Christians during the Crusades a thousand years ago, and the evil grotesque slaughter being committed by the radical Islamists today goes beyond the pale.  Comparing one religion, whose God demands that one kill the infidel where ever he may be found, to one whose God encourages one to love thy neighbor as thyself, is utterly without merit.  But that's exactly what the Kenyan did.  He literally compared - not contrasted, I hasten to point out - ISIS to the Christian Crusaders and the Inquisitors.  And to Jim Crow Laws and slavery in the United States.  Delusional much?  He then went on to lecture us by explaining that it is his view that the essence of faith is not certitude about one’s beliefs, but instead the opposite: doubt.  Seriously?  Doubt?  What kind of negative spiritual cognition is this?   The very essence of spirituality is an unyielding belief in a thing greater than oneself that cannot be quantified. But in this utterance, the Kenyan once again shows us that his grasp of religious faith is something  bizarre- and something other than Christian.

NYT:  Drop Anchor

Speaking of Big Lies, NBC Nightly News anchorman Brian Williams has been found to telling some whoppers.  After years of telling a story about his helicopter's shoot-down in Iraq by enemy fire, it's now been publicly revealed that it never happened.  Kinda like Hillary's infamous claim she and Chelsea took fire from enemy snipers in Bosnia.  It only took two days for her to see the light and retract that lie.  Williams, however, has basked in his stolen valor for years. In his recantations he digs himself ever deeper.  And true veterans are livid, as they should be, and even Tom Brokaw wants his head for it.  Yet we shouldn't be shocked: lying is standard operating procedure for liberals and Big Media.

Our Girl Lena

And because there's relatively little chaos and conflict in the world right now, we can certainly turn our attention to the plight of females in western society.  The narcissist Lena Dunham's mother has reassured us all that women are still fighting for basic rights.  Really?  I guess she's disappointed in little Lena's made-up rape story, or perhaps that she's making only $3.7 million from her recent book deal, or the windfall profits she's made from her inane TV show, Girls. I can only wish I had that level of inequality.  My own book grossed exactly zero.  But, hey. Who's complaining?

Distant From Reality

Not be outdone in championing women's issues, whatever they are, comes now the indomitable Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg to inform us that there will be enough women on the Supreme Court when it is comprised only of women.  Outstanding!  Western culture has been emasculated for decades by these screaming misandrist harpies, ever intent on eliminating any shred of masculinity from the planet.  Now Ginsberg joins the fray.  I've personally met Justice Ginsberg, and in a social setting she's frail and tiny.  In enduring some fifteen minutes of her soft spoken, incomprehensible blather, smiling and nodding, I to this day have no idea what she was talking about.  True story.  And she sits on the Supreme Court.
