This Christmas do NOT let this happen to you!

Sweater vests are bad enough, but the Christmas sweater? Dear Lord! Reaganite republican has photographic evidence!

 

Although, even the Christmas sweater rule has some exceptions, like this one which does not bother me for some reason

 

Ecopocrisy strikes yet again

Oh those wacky environmentalists, they are such bad litter bugs!

Earth Day revelers in San Francisco weren’t very kind to the little slice of earth they occupied over the weekend. In fact, they totally trashed it. Look at this photo, via SFist:

There are more where that came from.

H’T Lonely Conservative

Your Marxist Morons of the Day?

Come to us via Weasel Zippers. As you read this, ask yourself this. How stupid does a person have to be to decide that the nursery rhyme Baa, Baa, Black Sheep is RAAAAACIST

(Daily Mail) — A school has been accused of political correctness after  

No political correctness (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

changing the words of a traditional children’s nursery rhyme.

At their Easter concert, pupils at Park Hill School swapped the word ‘black’ in Baa Baa Black Sheep for ‘little’ as they sang.

It confused parents and friends watching the performance at the fee-paying Kingston Upon Thames school.

Kingston Councillor Andrea Craig, whose son sang in the show, tweeted on the night: ‘At my son’s Easter concert I saw a song called Baa Baa Little Sheep which I assumed was new.

‘Not so – not allowed black. Really?’

The school insisted the song had been changed as a way of teaching children phonics and to fit in with the Easter theme, rather than a skewed approach to political correctness.

You can read the excuses at the link, but, frankly, the excuse given set off my BS Meter! Maybe because the Left is constantly pulling stunts like this in their crusade for “sensitivity”

A sneek peak at Ed’s Halloween costume

Y’all might not know that Ed Daley, my blogging partner, is REALLY into Halloween. This year, I offer up a glimpse of his costume, somehow Weasel Zippers got it

 

O.K., actually that is not Ed, but, I do have good news, The Queen of the Food Police has granted us all permission to eat candy the Halloween.

(The Stir) — Forget the cost of candy and the spooky costumes. The scariest part of Halloween for Mom comes at the end of the night, when that heaping helping of sugar is dumped on the living room floor and the kids dive in. Who better to help you handle the holiday without being a candy-skipping grinch than First Lady Michelle Obama?

She is, after all, the mom behind the national childhood obesity-fighting initiative Let’s Move. We’ve seen her hula hooping on the White House lawn to make exercise fun. So here at The Stir, we wanted to know what the president’s wife thinks of the sugar-fueled frenzy that is October 31. What she told our very own Tracy Odell during a session at the White House might surprise you.

Sasha and Malia Obama get their candy fix on Halloween just like the rest of the kids in America! And our First Lady thinks that’s the way it ought to be:

Our philosophy is if you live right every day — and I shouldn’t say “right,” but if you make good choices every day — I tell this to my girls all the time — that when it’s time for the holidays and the fun stuff and the birthday party, that you don’t have to worry about it because you’re doing what you’re supposed to do every single day. So we really talk about daily choices that they’re making, and balance. Right? Because I don’t want them to have to worry about how much candy they eat on Halloween.

 

Then they came for your Halloween decorations

Chris offers up the latest intrusion on basic liberty by the Nanny Statists.

A Brooklyn homeowner hung a scarecrow by a rope from a tree in his yard. A local councilman decided it was “racist,” mainly because it reminded him of “lynching.” Maybe it was, maybe it wasn’t — several neighbors said the homeowner really gets into Halloween and meant no harm.

But in Brooklyn there is a Right To Not Be Offended.

“It’s unacceptable,” said Charles Barron (D-Brooklyn). “You ain’t speaking for this whole community because some people on this block came by and said it was offensive. They came and said it was offensive. It’s not a cool decoration.”

Police settled the dispute by removing the scarecrow figure from the tree.

Got that? It’s “offensive” so NYPD confiscated it. From private property. Without Due Process.

That my friends is the very definition of fascism.

Chris is right. Sure some folks might say, “come on, they are just decorations, no one’s rights are being violated”  but think of the principles at stake here. Those principles are highlighted in red above.

Another important point is that Charles Barron is a vile racist himself, just Goggle him, see what you find. It is always the Leftists like Barron who are trampling basic liberties for their own gain.

Bob’s Blogging Blues!

Some good stuff from Old Belvedere!

Well I woke up this mornin’
And all my hits were down
Oh, I woke up this mornin’
And all my hits were down
All my friends are missing
I’m the only one who’s posting now

Santy Claus, Santy Claus
What you bringin’ down
Santy Claus, Santy Claus
What you bringin’ down
I need some linky lovin’
Before I shut this old blog thang down

—Ramblin’ Bob Belvedere, Blogger Mood Disorder Blues

I got me some Christmas Blogger Blues.  The only thing that will get me out of this funk is a little help from my Friends [In The Ether] and some blues…

-I always feel better when I head on over to Three Beers Later for some Jingle Bombs.  ‘Cause, if we don’t laugh at them, the terrorists win.

-Leave it to the Reaganite Republican to lift my spirits with some hilarious cartoons for the season.  Here’s my favorite, which I shamelessly swiped:

Oh look kids, the Anti-Christmas assholes are out already!

PC run amok! The newest threat to the very existence of mankind? Red and Green,because they MIGHT, POSSIBLY, offend someone!

Teachers at Heathrow Elementary School have been ordered to banish images of Santa Claus from classrooms — along with traditional Christmas colors like red and green.

“You can’t use red and green,” one outraged parent told WESH. “It’s ridiculous.”

The parent, who serves as a volunteer room mother, said she was recently given a list of guidelines that listed the holiday restrictions.

She said the basic theme of the letter was, “We don’t want to offend anyone who doesn’t believe in Santa Claus or the Christian beliefs.”

The Seminole County School Board has a policy that demands employees must be neutral on religious issues. Schools are not allowed to observe or promote holidays as religious events.

The school district says they celebrate the season with a winter theme.

WEll, what if Winter offends someone? Maybe they are always sick in colder months? What of their delicate sensitivities? Here is the deal folks, the vast majority of Americans celebrate CHRISTMAS, yes, I said CHRISTMAS! Folks who do not celebrate it have to DEAL with that fact! They have no right to demand everyone else bend over backwards to appease them. NO RIGHT WHATSOEVER!
