If you’ve never seen Bava’s Black Sunday (original title La maschera del demonio), then you haven’t seen one of the most beautifully made, artfully crafted horror movies ever made. This was filmed in 1960; this isn’t a gore fest by any means. But everything about this movie is art.
See it.
Suppose these people paid Mr. Garrison (South Park) for their idea?
Pardon me if I seem a bit confused here; I’m hoping it will pass, though that would require a bit of introspection and thought on the part of a great many conservatives, and perhaps that is too much to ask for. Or so it seems, given the reason for my confusion.
In a year and two weeks, we have an election — an election we should easily be able to sweep, except that some of us seem so busy tearing down other conservatives, such as the President, that unless they get a serious clue, on election day they’ll be sitting on their lazy butts slinging mud at other conservatives instead of voting.
Sorry if I seem a bit irate, but I am. More than a bit, actually. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen such stupid, self-destructive, mindless behavior, and worse, in the name of ideological purity.
On one mailing list, supposedly for conservatives, there are several people who do nothing but slam Bush and the party, because they’re just not conservative enough, socially speaking. Because Bush isn’t crying out for domestic terrorists to bomb abortion clinics, he has betrayed these poor dolts, I suppose. Meanwhile, they have nothing at all to say about spending, most likely because like most extreme social conservatives, they’re nanny staters — they just want a nanny state that enforces their little nanny state ideals.
Pardon me while I puke. I just can’t get excited about an American Taliban, be it left or right wing. And now, for some spriritual health and to purge your whiny crap from my brain, I’ll think for a moment of the father of modern conservatism, Barry Goldwater.
Now, I have no problem with social conservatives at all. I do have a problem with social conservatives who are the right wing counterparts of the Barbara Boxer club. But I have a serious problem when they’re doing everything they can to ensure a liberal victory in 2006.
Bush betrayed us! Bush betrayed us! Bush betrayed us!
Shut up, already. Or better yet, join that irrelevant Constitution Party so we don’t have to put up with your whiny nanny state crap. I’m not interested in your purity tests or your complaints; I’m just interested in keeping the liberals from killing us in 2006. And if you aren’t pragmatic enough to understand that, you’re a moron.
Again, liberals demonstrate that they have no morals, ethics or principles, even their own, when it comes to multiculturalism:
POLICE are being advised to treat Muslim domestic violence cases differently out of respect for Islamic traditions and habits.

I don’t know if you’ve been following Maryland’s Lt. Gov. Steele’s election campaign, but the liberals can’t get much nastier than this:
Senatorial candidate Michael Steele’s campaign has blasted as “gutter racism†a blog containing a doctored photo showing Steele in minstrel makeup – part of what the Steele camp believes is a coordinated Democratic attack on the popular Republican.
Can you imagine the cacophony if a conservative columnist had done the same to a liberal black politician?
Read the whole thing here.
Am I the only one who wonders why the liberals didn’t scream and howl about the Chronicles of Riddick? Sure, I know, it came out last year, but it happens to be on HBO right now and I’m again curious why there wasn’t more squealing about it.
If you haven’t seen it (it’s not a great movie, btw, even if it does have Vin Diesel in it, and even if it is a Sci Fi flick), we have a militaristic religion on jihad through the universe, who give you two choices: convert or die (sound familiar?). We have our hero, who defeats the jihadists.
There’s nothing subtle about the subtext or message of the film. Yet I didn’t hear a peep out of the multiculturalist Islam lovers. And I’m still wondering why.
After a year of utter incompetence and acting like they lost the election instead of won, after that liberal ass-kissing “please all you UN dictators, like us!” toothless torture legislation and its first cousin, the “let’s LOVE the terrorists and give them all the protections US citizens have” legislation, Frist and his castrated, brainless dolts have done something right.
They voted down Ted “She was alive when I was in the water” Kennedy’s minimum wage increase. Of course, the bed-wetters and welfare staters hate it, and that leads us to a hint for Frist and the Senate Republicans: if the liberals hate it, that’s a GOOD thing.
Course, it could be the million monkeys on a million typewriters thing. I’m not going to get hopeful that they’re growing brains and, er, intestinal fortitude.
