Homeland Security: Pat Robertson Edition

post from All Spin Zone on 17 April 2009 10:22:00 AM. © All Spin Zone

Pat Robertson is off his meds again. In protest of the Homeland security report the other day that has all the right wing whack jobs in a dither, Robertson got on his 700 Club yesterday and told his listeners to jam the Homeland Security hotline. From Crooks and Liars:

Robertson: If that had been a Republican, there would be outrage and screams for Janet Napolitano to resign immediately. That — Terry, you’re somebody who favors life, wants to keep little babies alive. Somebody who has been a veteran and served our country as a proud member of the military. Somebody who is opposed to the left-wing policies of the administration and who wants to express his or her views as they are entitled to under our Constitution, these people are now being stigmatized as terrorists! This is an outrage!
Ladies and gentlemen, I want you to do something about it. If that doesn’t get you excited, I don’t know what would. And I want you to call a number. This is the Department of Homeland Security.
[Reads number]
… And just say you protest. This is an outrage!
And Janet Napolitano has got a lot of explaining to do. And that lame excuse she was giving — ‘Oh, I’m sorry they characterized all veterans that way’ — I mean, come off it!
Meeuwsen: The report was the report. I mean, it is astonishing that it was allowed to leave under that –
Robertson: It — it shows somebody down in the bowels of that organization is either a convinced left-winger or somebody whose sexual orientation is somewhat in question.
But it’s that kind of thing, somebody who doesn’t think that we should have abortion on demand, is labeled a terrorist! It’s outrageous!
. . . (and later in the show)
Now, that in my opinion, is an outrage. And I think if you don’t speak out against it, it’s going to be allowed to stand. So I want to give you that number again. Ring those phones up there in Washington, let them know people care.
[Reads number]
That you protest this — ah, stigmatism of law-abiding Americans as being right-wing threats to America.
[Repeats number]
And if you jam up their lines, good for you!

I guess sending teabags wasn’t enough for Robertson, he wants to really make a dent in our ability to defend ourselves. Hey, did you notice him questioning the sexuality of Homeland Security workers? That’s code for blaming gay people for everything. He’s done that once or twice in the past, of course, so that’s not really news.

Someone should investigate him.

On Tuesday, biotech company Dendreon (DNDN) reported positive data for the world’s first-ever cancer vaccine.

Currency

Taxation is Theft

Free Republic:

The principle that your life, liberty and property belong only to you, and that you have no obligation to give them to others, and cannot rightfully be coerced into doing so, is the foundation of freedom. Any society that violates this principle makes slaves out of its members.

Investors who trade actively and are closely in touch with the ebb and flow of opinion on Wall Street have one enormous barrier to good investment performance: They will often be seduced by what’s fashionable – whether it be in terms of sectors, countries or individual stocks.

Near "Infinitely Alterable" Intelligence

post from TalkLeft on 17 April 2009 10:09:00 AM. © TalkLeft

Bell Curve Sully:

[I]ntelligence is not infinitely alterable. My point was that growing inequality will be very, very hard to prevent or restrain in the face of these factors.

What factors? The fact "IQ" (No, IQ does not accurately measure intelligence, which is impossible to define anyway) is significantly alterable, but not "infinitely alterable? Really?

More . . .

Sully refers to a Nick Kristof column that states "this view of I.Q. as overwhelmingly inherited . . . is, at a practical level, profoundly wrong. . . . Eric Turkheimer of the University of Virginia has conducted further research demonstrating that in poor and chaotic households, I.Q. is minimally the result of genetics — because everybody is held back. “Bad environments suppress children’s I.Q.’s,” Professor Turkheimer said."

Sully pretends that Kristof supports his retrograde Bell Curve views. The new research cited by Kristof in fact demolishes his views. Sully seems incapable of seeing that he has been pimping pseudo science racism. And for that, he remains to me Bell Curve Sully (not to mention Fifth Column Sully.)

Speaking for me only
