Yes. And. Yes.

Thief, Thief, Thief! Baggins! We hates it, we hates it, we hates it forever!, sez Gollum, aka Maddow.

And we are sick beyond vomiting at the horror of government by and about idiots who cannot see beyond their rose tinted glasses and little red books. Give us one red blooded American patriot to lead us and we will fight these paper bag tyrants back to the caves where they belong with all the other troglodytes.

YAY DANIEL!

After drifting without an identity, MSNBC was reborn as a liberal news network and then finally as a network of sandal wearing transgender vegans and shock-headed Marxists chewing polysyllables.

Ahhh yes, liberal sandals - birkenstock... part of the uniform.

a control freak suffering from a “hypertrophied sense of order” driven “to reduce the world to something resembling a chessboard.”

Which is ironic, because...

This is a hi-larious piece.

A very funny essay I will have to forward to a few granola eaters...

[Paladin2]

"Trans (without the asterisk) is best applied to trans men and trans women, while the asterisk makes special note in an effort to include all non-cisgender gender identities, including transgender, transsexual, transvestite, genderqueer, genderfluid, non-binary, genderfuck, genderless, agender, non-gendered, third gender, two-spirit, bigender, and trans man and trans woman."

Well, there U go.

[WhistlingPastTheGraveyard]

That was a ridiculously entertaining read.

Why do they make living so complicated?

[hearthwench]

“It” would cover the proper address.

Mr., Mrs., and Miss are not needed, though it is a breach of common manners. Ms. would be very inappropriate, especially if one is not sure what It is.

“A what?” makes sense. Sadly, that would result in shrill screeching that could cause permanent damage to one’s eardrums.
/silliness off
“Ew.….” is for private use only. Public use of the term could cause foaming of the mouth. That leads to spittle. Spittle can be deadly to one’s health.

Insistence of using Ew and A what? would include a face shield, disinfectant and earplugs.

[Old Sarge]

Why does the left, which is so adept at putting its agenda across in mainstream media outlets fail spectacularly when it puts away the disguise and begins saying what it really thinks?

And just what have they been saying and thinking for the last fifty years?

They've said it in their lectures, in their books and pamphlets; they've said it in their rallies, and on the protest lines; they've said it in their blogs, their editorials and recently to your face:

They. Want. You. Dead.

OMG! HAHAHA!!!!

I KEEP THINKING DANIEL CAN'T GET ANY BETTER AND THEN HE WRITES THIS MASTERPIECE!

The Maddow MSNBC is a leftist student newspaper stridently denouncing racism, sexism, homophobia, claustrophobia, transphobia, pipelines, microaggressions, white privilege, cherry pies, political incorrectness, model trains and obesity. Unlike the left’s highly successful mainstream media apparatus, it is overcrowded with professors of political correctness and Twitter activists who can’t talk to people, only at people, who assume that everyone who matters already agrees with them and that this self-important population is already watching MSNBC.

This is a valid criticism of MSNBC, in general. It is `cultural Marxism` and I would hope Greenfield popularizes the term.

[GOPJ]

MSNBC reinvented itself around Rachel Maddow. Its new talkers, Chris Hayes and Ronan Farrow, are cut from the same cloth, delivering nasal lectures with a tone somewhere between passive aggressive argument and ironic detachment. Imagine Air America crossbred with NPR and then mated with Pitchfork Magazine.

They are part of the media's "Gaslighting Machine." ...... the psychological weapon taken from the film noir classic, "Gaslight."

Charles Boyer's character was a glib con artist, murderer and thief---he ingratiated himself w/ Ingrid Bergman, and married her, in order to move into her house----a house she inherited from her murdered aunt (murdered by Boyer for her hidden valuables).

Later the term "gaslighting" became a term to describe a pattern of psychological abuse in which the victims are gradually manipulated into doubting his/her own reality---involves the con artists using emotional gimmicks---cons often playacting as "victims" so as to dupe and disorient the targets experiencing the catastrophic effects of abusive behavior.

The desired effect of "gaslighting" is to maintain the abuser's image as a sympathetic person, while simultaneously priming the disoriented victim to believe that he/she is to blame for the ruinous mind-bending effects of their calculated mistreatment.

The media is an all-encompassing, well-oiled gaslighting machine......adept at co-opting the entire socio/political structure, duping academia and govt into becoming compliant accomplices.

Democrats take a few whiffs---and become prostrate----as they willingly march in lockstep, in obeisance to Obama.

[sickoflibs]

Maddow’s #1 issue is gay rights and Hayes is global warming, but voter rights (anti-voter ID and anti-cutting back of hours) is a hot topic for them all.

They seemed obsessed with Christie too, I thought they praise the RINOs till they get the nomination then go on attack.
Christie was their favorite and they are knocking him out, or is it reverse psychology??.

Orwell wrote... “If only the sandals and the pistachio-coloured shirts could be put in a pile and burnt, and every vegetarian, teetotaler… sent home ... to do his yoga exercises quietly!” ... “vegetarians with wilting beards... earnest ladies in sandals, shock-headed Marxists chewing polysyllables, escaped Quakers, birth-control fanatics.”

Wow. Written almost 80 years ago. Just... wow.

[VRW Conspirator]

Great commentary. Downright sublime.

That is why even career leftists like Obama will attempt to pass themselves off as practical men, bipartisan types who are not bound by dogma. They understand that to identify as a rigid fanatic is political suicide.

The Left struggles to hide who they are and what there agenda is and the Right struggles to tell you who they are and what their agenda is.
