Instapundit "Got" An Honorable Mention As 1 Of The 25 Most Influential People On The Right (As He Gets "Got")

Stick with me, kid, you'll,...something.

Away we go:

This morning I noticed Glenn Reynolds said, "I think the GOP can win even by losing," which I identified as con artist patter - and, Good Golly Miss Molly, what do you know?

It IS con artist patter! Straight from The Atlantic:

Now is the time for all good men to fail. Good women, too. Fail early and often, and don’t be shy about admitting it. Failing isn’t shameful; it’s not even failure. Such is the message of a growing body of self-help and leadership literature. 

...Given this growing cultural fixation on failure, it was probably inevitable that politicians would begin clambering aboard the pro-failure bandwagon.

There it is - our buddy - good ol' Self-Help to the rescue!

Are you listening, y'all? You can't hear it:

Glenn Reynolds is in the NewAge world of Billary Clinton, Oprah Winfrey/Tony Robbins/James Arthur Ray/Louise Hay Grade-A bullshit, and he's delivering it to your door as political wisdom without the slightest clue how he's being played.

As a matter of fact, back when Reynolds used to post TMR and it was almost All-NewAge-All-The-Time, that's what his last email to me indicated:

Hey, I've got nothing against you, Crack.  But I really don't get your blog, and God knows I've tried.  Sorry.

Think about that for a second:

Glenn Reynolds has been seen to "get" a Mormon for president - who devoutly believes he'll get his own planet. Glenn can "get" that you can relearn to breathe with Laughing Yoga, all the many bogus concoctions, preparations, and devices in Quackery - and even inserting vapid win-from-losing Self-Help nostrums (I know you don't think I "get" it but I got it) into our supposedly serious game of politics - but he doesn't "get" why a conservative blogger, versed in NewAge solipsism, would be skeptical of the whole election-losing Instapundit enterprise.

Why wouldn't I point it out?

This flaw in conservative reasoning needs addressing and now:

I've got nothing against Glenn. What I really don't get will be conservatives losing through NewAge, and God knows I've tried. 

O.K., there is no God, but - even for that - I am really and truly sorry,...

 

I Lived With Two Women Once: Not Cool, Baby, Not Cool

A woman wrote critically of Whole Foods? Do tell:

"I see the gluten-free section filled with crackers and bread made from various wheat-substitutes such as cardboard and sawdust. I skip this aisle because I'm not rich enough to have dietary restrictions. Ever notice that you don't meet poor people with special diet needs? A gluten intolerant house cleaner? A cab driver with Candida? Candida is what I call a rich, white person problem. You know you've really made it in this world when you get Candida. My personal theory is that Candida is something you get from too much hot yoga. All I'm saying is if I were a yeast, I would want to live in your yoga pants."

Well that's one theory (Ewww!),...

 

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:

  Navy Yard shooter Aaron Alexis was 'not happy with America,' friend says

Really? Didn't I say, yesterday, "the real 'narrative' here is how much Americans are learning to hate each other"? 

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"...

This Is The Blackest Post I've Ever Done (In Every Way)

I'm RANTING:

So, Glenn Reynolds has posted the Washington shooter's photo because,..."narrative". 

Also, Glenn's influential, don't you know. A positive or negative influence, nobody says. Seen any blacks on his site?

Oh yeah - there's that one. I bet he's the only one today - or yesterday - before he gunned anyone down.

That's what it takes for blacks to regularly get on Instapundit.

No? I challenge you, Reynolds - anybody - to show me, after all these years, where Glenn Reynolds let a black guest blog while he was gone.

He lets Althouse and she voted for Obama and is a feminist - part of the problem - and two things Reynolds blogs against.

Ethics?

But there's nothing racist going on - those two Boomer champions are just showing us how the new world they created "works".

You see, Glenn put this guy on the blog because the other outlets are describing him as a "Texan," and Glenn thinks we should be more focussed on something else. I wonder what it could be?

I'm looking.

This photo, above, startled Ann Althouse - who thinks black "bellyaching" music (like Marvin Gaye) is below her - I don't still know why. She probably can't dance, either.

  From what I hear, certain folks being seen on the runway will do that to some people.

What do you see?

The shooter's definitely better looking than Reynolds (or Ann) but I doubt that's it. Could it be that this maniac isn't white - like almost all the others in American history? I doubt that, too, because A) Glenn never mentioned it, and B) that would be a reason for cheering - a civil rights triumph! We're getting EQUAL, guys! Hooray!

No, as much as Instapundit's Grand Dragon wants to stir the race issue some more, the real "narrative" here is how much Americans are learning to hate each other. How certain groups and individuals are allowed to run roughshod over others, without recourse, and whatever happens "happens" afterwards. That's all. Don't put that look on your face, that says you have no idea how these things happen, because we know good and well how these things happen.

The neglect of society.

I had to turn the radio off in my car today, because I couldn't stand to listen to two feminists talk about "where feminism went wrong" and then go on talking about advancing it, like they weren't also discussing everyone's life that was being destroyed under it's weight. I turned the radio off because there was no need to change the channel - there was only going to be more malarky there. And all of it crushing someone. And all of that being insisted on.

Considering the scale of the operation, and how long it's been going on, they make the so-called "race hustlers" look puny.

Sorry.

This is life, seen from the bottom, in a morally bankrupt society. 

NOT the society blacks marched to join. 

How many more years of lectures must I endure? On race, or that all-important climate change? As many as there'll be, because no one's going to stop it. Only someone with a gun can possibly make a dent in it - because we live in a morally bankrupt society. Hell, if Al Gore gets killed, the shooter will be the good guy! How's that for hippies flipping America's moral narrative upside down? Unfortunately, the headlines won't read "MASSIVE SCAM ARTIST MURDERED" but some nonsense about serving alongside the perv with a cigar fetish. 

They're the nation's heroes.

That's who we are now - a nation of liars. Nobody's ever going to get hurt in that scenario, right? Matthew Shepard = MLK. Ask Ann Althouse. She's got a gay son and that's all the reason needed to push lies on everyone else. Never to stop it. Her son wants to get "married". Ann's on her "second" fresh dick, so I can see the appeal to her kid.

Anyway, when I saw this shooter, I laughed. I laughed because, it's been so long since I've heard a white person say something good about blacks, I was glad whites would have a new punching bag to enjoy. Amuse yourselves.

It's cheap fun.

Glenn Reynolds will be pleased - and will probably offer blog advice, like Laughing Yoga, on how to continue to make it all go down smoothly for everyone else.

It sure beats ever making blacks feel at home,...
