Treat Barbarians Like Barbarians

Treat Barbarians Like Barbarians

Ace of Spades is, as Vox Day noted, coming around, as evidenced by a recent post [http://acecomments.mu.nu/?post=368084] on how “How Losing My Political Values Helped Me Gain My Freedom”: > Donald Trump isn’t the bully; he only insults and abuses people in power who have attacked him.

Lying Media - Business Insider Edition

Lying Media - Business Insider Edition

I’m usually not inclined to do simple “look at this idiocy” posts – if a lesson can’t be learned, a principle displayed, it’s usually pointless.

…and will be ignored. That was her fate after all, to see the future and not to be believed. So Tom explores the question of Martial Law, [http://www.everyjoe.com/2017/01/16/politics/why-rosie-odonnell-liberals-shouldnt-want-martial-law/#1] as proposed in jaw-dropping stupidity by Rosie O. It starts: > Dear Rosie… …you unbefuckinglievably stupid and ignorant twat.1 Oh, and all you morons who agree with the silly bint, too. In case you think he’s being a bit rough on the poor whale lady……
