Instapundit: A Little Too Interested In How To Kill Blacks On The Left And Not Enough On How To Stop The Killing


Sigh. Another day, another load of bullshit from Glenn Reynolds.


I just looked over and what's Instapundit got on the Washington shooter?


Well, since he wanted to make sure we knew the guy wasn't a "Texan" yesterday, today we have to know the (apparently black) guy liked the black president.


I know - you're shocked - me too.


There's also a lot of blather about the AR-15, and how the media got the gun wrong, blah, blah, blah.


But - lo and behold - check out what DRUDGE is linking to, today, now that the information stream is settling:




Or how about this from Drudge:
Some saw the tragedy as an opportunity to publicly air some difficult topics that Buddhists most often discuss only among themselves. Is the peaceful Buddhist an illusion? Do Buddhists and Buddhist temples deal directly enough with the topic of mental illness? And, in fact, might Buddhism hold a special attraction for people who are mentally ill? 
“As Buddhism has spread in the West, it has put forth and maintained an image of being a peaceful religion,” Buddhist ethicist Justin Whitaker, author of the American Buddhist Perspective blog, wrote Tuesday. “This is a myth.” 
Buddhism can seem particularly appealing to “mentally unbalanced people seeking to right the ship of their lives, to self-medicate, to curb their impulses, or to give them a firmer grip on reality,” Clark Strand, a contributing editor to the Buddhist publication Tricycle magazine and a former Zen monk, said in an interview.

I've been telling you that, in one form or another, for some time, too.


So once again it's happened - just like with music:


Based solely on watching the "spiritual" machinations of my country - I'm nailing another shooting down, but without a word (or link) from conservatism's indispensable man. The NewAge guy who's always pushing yoga, meditation, and outright quackery.


It's totally chickenshit.


Chickenshit to me and both of our readers - As I wrote once before, under these identical circumstances:


When it comes to NewAge, Law Professors blogging, and sorting this nation out, "Today's Intellectual Class Couldn't Catch A Cold"...

Peoples Dying In The Ghetto And Peoples Dying Outside The Ghetto: My Life Will Never Escape The Reasons Why


I'll find a story of mass murder, one day, that doesn't include an American doing something like this - and that's when I'll know it might be over:



Wow. That's some "contradiction." And a real anomaly.  Or is it? As I've pointed out before, if someone accepts the belief that "life is about suffering," then it's not much of a leap to cause some.


And nowadays, you have to admit, that whole "life is about suffering" schtick is really popular:
"If you're trying to decipher Loughner's worldview,...The best label would probably be 'New Age paranoia.'"

Oops, John Lennon - that was another guy to start killing everybody after dabbling in NewAge - here's the new guy:
"U.S. law enforcement officials are telling The Associated Press that the Navy contractor identified as the gunman in the mass shootings at the Washington Navy Yard had been suffering a host of serious mental issues, including paranoia and a sleep disorder. He also had been hearing voices in his head, the officials said."

Well - that could've also described my wife, too, asshole! Weird, because everyone defended those symptoms - as a feminist thinking "straight" - when she had them. Not that anyone cares about what happened to my wife and life:


Let's just make this thing blow over, as always, so we can get back to cheering what a overwhelmingly positive influence J. D. Salinger had on society,...

NewAge: The Only Belief You Have To Catch In The Act


I haven't read this whole piece yet, but I like that it begins with the NewAge cult's multi-pronged al Qaeda-like structure:
New Age Movement Explained The New Age Movement (NAM) is both a religious and a social movement. In fact, Western culture is currently experiencing a phenomenal, spiritual, ideological, and sociological shift. It is a religious world view that is alien and hostile to Christianity. It’s a multi-focused, multi-faceted synthesis, in varying degrees, of the Far Eastern, mystical religions, mainly Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, and Western Occultism, adapted to and influenced by Western, materialistic culture. It sometimes appears in secularized forms.

Yep - it's political, and religious, but also "spiritual but not religious". It can be exercise - or a 5,000 year old spiritual practice (yoga). NewAgers gather in churches, or spiritual retreats, or even corporate gatherings. Daytime TV shows are also popular. Environmentalism, feminism, healthcare, science (and pseudoscience) they've got their claws dug into any crevice, or bit of soft flesh, they can find in society.


Tell me what you think before I finish the whole thing,...

Vegan Joints Are Cults (So Is Yoga Still Not Spiritual?)


The Skeptical Vegan is making an amazing admission - and providing a great service:
"The vegan and vegetarian communities are philosophically and religiously diverse and while secular veganism is growing in the west, still in the US and much of the world religious groups of one sort or another dominate the vegetarian and vegan culture. Most of us are familiar with Hindu-run curry houses or Buddhist tofu joints but there are also many other places run by devotees of smaller 'new religious movements' or cults*. In the following series of posts I will be taking a deeper look into some of these businesses and the groups behind them."

There are five chapters, so far, all featuring figures and cults previously covered on TMR. Click the Red links, and then check out my tags at the bottom of the post, to see who the cults are, how they're trying to exploit us, and how much ground I've covered for the whole truth on these wonderful human beings:

"If You Meet A Right-Wing NewAge Conspiracy Theorist On The Road - Kill Him" (And, For Goodness' Sake, Now)


I warned you. You didn't listen. You hang on Glenn "Conspiracy Theory" Reynolds and Pajamas Media's every fucking word. Like Pajamas Media posted this, Reynolds linked to it, and now I've read it. I told you - Mitt Romney was merely a heads-up we were headed for Mystic Mayhem™. Here's further proof the G.O.P. now needs a fucking intervention - or an exorcism:
"Buddha and the Elephant"

Great. First it was the "touched by God" guy, or whatever, and now, full-blown Buddhism?


Political suicides don't get any more public than this. Oh, and one more thing:


For what it's worth:

Privacy and the NSA wouldn't be a problem if the Right Wing had some common sense,...

Niggas Are Sick Of Whites Saying We Must Be Humble


This is why they hate Rap - the message:

If you want to be yoga-and-meditation mediocrities, be that, but don't put it on us. 

I've mentioned this, so many times, it's exhausting to even see it in print. The way NewAgers try to kill our dreams, our opinions, our flow - and still expect acceptance and obedience. And I say this knowing it will only piss off my "friends" (who refuse to hear anybody but themselves): 

No black person has ever said "be humble" to me. 

It's obvious we can't be worried anymore. Shit can travel both ways. Go join an ashram somewhere. That's all most of you are "trained" for anyway.

Me? I'm still reaching for real,...
