Editor’s Note: Normal people might find some of this offensive. (We hope.)
Sex discrimination, anti-semitism, transgender cyborgs, money for nothing and a dress you wouldn’t want to touch with a 10-foot-long pair of scissors. That’s the best of, or worst of, a week in the left-wing press. It’s pressing or just depressing.
Liberals have successfully splintered America into its component victim parts. They love all of them as long as they toe the line that victim groups are always better than everyone else. Talk about an all-male sports team and liberals want to Title IX you to death. Talk about an all-female team and it’s womyn empowerment.
Most of the items this week are about victim groups. Probably most of the items every week will be. Remember the liberal motto, courtesy of The Proclaimers: “Everybody’s A Victim.”
1. Pants Suits For Everyone: Liberals fantasize about a world where everyone is equal, and to quote Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., “where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character." As long as they have lady parts. Thankfully, Dr. King never wrote that. Of course, he didn’t cast the Ghostbusters remake or write for Slate. That nuthouse came up with recommendations for Hillary Clinton or, “Slate’s Picks for Your All-Female Cabinet.” The list includes: a parade of far-left “thinkers” and funders from radical gay former Houston Mayor Annise Parker (who tried to subpoena pastors’ sermons) to ethically compromised Loretta Lynch. And let’s not forget: “Secretary of Agriculture: Michelle Obama, the only person we trust to make our nation healthier.” Actual quote: “women have never exceeded about a third of the Cabinet—but while the first female president is making history, she may as well go all the way.” Not that anyone wants to fantasize about that.
2. Bashing A Holocaust Survivor: When people pass away, it’s a time when the sane try to remember who they were at their best. Not liberals, who will even attack one of the world’s most famous Holocaust survivors after he’s unable to defend himself. Mostly because he defended Israel. That’s how Alternet treated Elie Wiesel on his death. The piece was written by Max Blumenthal, “son of longtime Hillary Clinton confidant Sidney Blumenthal,” according to The Jerusalem Post. His comments were so disgusting that even Hillary Clinton repudiated them. Blumenthal bashed Wiesel’s “silence” about “increasingly unspeakable crimes against Palestinians.” Liberal moral equivalency says it’s OK for Palestinian terrorists to murder Israeli Jews, just don’t let Israelis defend themselves. Actual quote: “Reflecting on the impact of Wiesel’s work, Brooklyn College political science professor Corey Robin wrote that he had “turn[ed] the Holocaust into an industry of middlebrow morality and manipulative sentimentality” while sacralizing “the ovens [as] our burning bush.” Pretty obvious Blumenthal is the wrong person to be writing about “morality.”
3. Are There Transgender Borg?: The Borg, Star Trek bad guys 
who are part machine and part living being, didn’t teach us enough about transgenders. Now it’s Huffington Post’s turn. To HuffPo writer Bret Caron, having your mind jammed into an electronic body is just like being transgender. Or something. This “penultimate upgrade for humanity would be a perfect synthesis of human and machine.” So becoming a machine is an upgrade? Then again, I’ve never met Bret Caron. Maybe a toaster is an upgrade, too. Caron’s argument is that even in our new shells, we would be the same people. He then says it’s the same if we put on new shells of another gender. “Imagine a future where you could modify your body as easily as you change your clothes.” The liberal dream. Actual quote: “But time marches on, and the future -- assuming we don't wipe ourselves from the face of the Earth in a Trumped-up slide into the narcissistic collapse of civilization as we know it -- will burn away our ignorance one advance at a time.” Remember, when libs say “ignorance,” they mean any belief in traditional faith or moral norms. Well, there’s always #SMOD2016.
4. You Didn’t Earn That And No One Cares: If you are lazy and don’t feel like working ever again, liberals have an answer. Don’t. Why work when others have to? It’s not a sham, just a scam -- called the Universal Basic Income. In other words, Uncle Sugar gives each and every one of his little dependents a check every month. Some libertarians support this under the naive belief that either other welfare programs would go away (Hint: They wouldn’t) or that the minimum would be kept low. But UBI is what it sounds like: a lefty fantasy. Former SEIU president Andy Stern explained to the American Prospect that the UBI “allows people to get paid for what is traditionally unpaid work, like raising children.” He left out that it also means you get paid for playing videogames, watching TV or getting stoned. It’s also outlandishly expensive. Give every person in a nation of 319 million $10 a month and that’s $3.19 billion. Every month. And that would cost money, so you probably need $4 billion counting overhead. Actual quote: “So, I don’t think it’s just about taxing the rich. But I do think there are whole series of resource-raising ideas that exist everywhere else in the world, like a value added tax, which could be adjusted so that it’s not regressive. I think there are ideas, like a Tobin tax on financial transactions, which are beginning to spread around Europe. I think that Peter Barnes’s idea about natural resources taxes, carbon tax, and asset taxes are probably a very healthy place to look.” That’s six taxes to pay for lazy idiots to sit at home and get baked.
5. Hair Today, Dress Tomorrow: Liberals don’t just tolerate or even accept insanity. They wallow in it like pigs in slop. Every demented idea that in the past would have meant a trip to Bedlam now is a trip to the front page. In this case, the front page of Huffington Post, with the actual headline: “Woman’s Pubic Hair Dress Takes Fashion World By The Short Hairs.” Now who doesn’t want to read that story? British designer Sarah Louise Bryan went viral (that’s the right word for her latest) with a previous dress made of Skittles. This time she used her own hair and hair from other people but “kept the donated strands wrapped in cling wrap in the room of her 13-year-old son.” Because that’s not weird at all. Actual Quote: “I really wanted the world’s most unique and disgusting design, so when someone sees a design they know it was me instantly.” Tough to tell if this is a cry for help or a cry for hygiene. God help us!
