National Geographic Gets Dirty
The Moderate Separatist ^ | February 28, 2009 | Leigh Patrick Sullivan

Posted on 02/28/2009 12:23:45 PM PST by Leigh Patrick Sullivan

Complete with what has been described as ‘stark’ photos of tailing ponds, made famous by the discovery of about 500 dead ducks that caused every leftwing granola eaters head to explode, the article itself is said to contain the fair and balanced description of the scene – smoke stacks and mills chugging away – as ‘dark’ and, I’m not kidding here, ‘satanic’.

Don’t worry.
Every smokestack, every dirty machine, every job in America will soon be finished thanks to the application of strong Obamunism.

On a brighter note, they found a potential cure for Ovarian Cancer in a nasty polluted pit in Butte Montana... some organism living in that nasty soup has shown promise...

NG has been veering into the PC wilderness for some time, but I have to give them credit-- a couple years ago they did an article on natives, in France I believe, and actually had pictures of a firelit ritual with White native women going around barebreasted.

Everything has been polluted by leftist ideology. Too bad, I enjoyed NG for years.

Mr. Adler finally woke up and cancelled his many-years-long subscription to NG. It got too leftwing even for him. Here’s to lots more cancellations for NG!

See O'Sullivan't First Law which states that "all organizations that are not explicitly conservative become left-wing over time."

I gave up on it about 15 years ago. The cover stories on FOUND THINGY PROVES EVOLUTION!!! one month followed by a retraction (found thingy did not prove anything - never mind) in tiny corner articles buried in the magazine drove me to distraction.

That and the whole mankind is not part of nature unless we're running around naked in the jungle eating bugs and worshiping rocks. That was annoying too.

Wordsworth? That's Blake!

Jerusalem
by William Blake

And did those feet in ancient time,
Walk upon Englands mountains green?
And was the holy Lamb of God,
On Englands pleasant pastures seen!

And did the Countenance Divine,
Shine forth upon our clouded hills?
And was Jerusalem builded here,
Among these dark Satanic Mills?

Bring me my Bow of burning gold;
Bring me my Arrows of desire:
Bring me my Spear: O clouds unfold:
Bring me my Chariot of fire!

I will not cease from Mental Fight,
Nor shall my Sword sleep in my hand:
Till we have built Jerusalem,
In Englands green & pleasant Land.

If you carefully look at the photo, you will be able to see a few stranded Polar bears and Caribou.

Oh, and the guy partially hidden behind the big rock ... that’s Dan Rather.

I think Paul Potts may have flubbed a line, but I love his version!

I thought that the headline found me out that I looked at naked African boobs when I was 12.

Or Blake....

Looks like a post volcanic scene. I guess volcanoes are satanic as well.
