Hope-a-Dope Not Getting Off to a Good Start

A bank in the Central West End of St. Louis was robbed yesterday, barely an hour and a half into the Messiah’s reign.  You can probably guess the suspect, but being as this is the new era of zero intolerance, the Obamaite P-D shouldn’t have described him as a bank robber, instead they should have said that he was a discrimination victim who had no other recourse after eight years of Bush.

They Just Don’t Get It

The more I see of Jefferson County and their people, the less impressed I am.  You figure, many Jefferson Countians are themselves or are the direct descendants of whites who fled north St. Louis many decades ago, so you think they would get it about diversity.

Alas, no.  Metherson County went Obama this past November.

And now, Festus has a black mayor.

Sex offender gets prison for filming in Florissant locker room

St. Louis — A convicted sex offender was sentenced Tuesday to almost 22 years in federal prison for secretly filming boys in the locker room of a Florissant recreation center.

Benjamin S. Rzadca, 28, of Black Jack, pleaded guilty in federal court in St. Louis in October to two felony counts of child sexual exploitation and admitted filming two boys: one on Dec. 26, 2007, the other on Jan. 7, 2008.

(snip)

He also read defiant online postings in which someone identifying himself as Rzadca suggests ways for pedophiles to target children, calls opposition to pedophilia a form of discrimination and says, “I’m proud to be who I am.”

Prediction:  Within twenty years, the President of the United States, whoever he/she/it is, will quasi-criminalize opposition to pedophilia, in fact prohibiting the word peophilie as a slur in the same category as the n-word.  And whatever pedophilia will then be called in a politically correct sense will simply be classified as a lifestyle choice.

Loving, but Not Breeding

KPTV-Fox-12 Portland, Ore.:

Mayor Makes Public Apology

PORTLAND, Ore. — Mayor Sam Adams apologized publicly Tuesday for lying about a relationship he had with an 18-year-old former intern.

Adams, who is openly gay, acknowledged the sexual relationship with ex-legislative intern Beau Breedlove on his Web site Monday evening.

(snip)

“Although my relationship was legal and consensual, because of my elected position in the community, it was inappropriate for me to have a sexual relationship with an 18-year-old,” Adams said.

What?  Where’s the massive media/lib bitching that there was over Mark Foley?  The analogy there doesn’t hold, because Foley didn’t have a relationship with a House page, only giving him advice about five-fingered fun.  That kind of counsel, of course, libs have no problem with if the same young man would have heard it from his public school teachers, and the sort that the first Surgeon General for the previous Democrat President endorsed.  The difference is that Republicans don’t run much of anything anymore, and nothing on the Federal level, so the lib/media doesn’t need to connive to discourage Republican voters from voting Republican.  Even though Mark Foley never kept his orientation a secret through his political career.

The Mayor is openly gay, yet did someone named “Breed Love.”  Talk about an unfortunate name.

All Other Things Are Not Equal

Phyllis Schlafly, writing in WND today, draws an analogy between this year, especially with yesterday’s inauguration of a Democrat President, and the last year that a Democrat President was first inaugurated, in 1993.  The theory, in fact the conventional wisdom, is that 2010, like 1994, will thus be a big year for Republicans.

It might, but Phyllis is assuming some incorrect ceteris paribus factors.  America’s demographics in 2010 will be very different from those in 1994.  I highly doubt that many of the districts and states that the GOP flipped in 1994, that the Dems flipped back in 2006 and 2008, they won’t be able to flip next year, simply because some of those are less white.  The GOP will probably pick up seats in the House and Senate, but it’s highly unlikely that they will be able to flip enough to flip either the House or Senate.
