Important Stuff -- Or Not: Are we talking about the same place?

I just found this article on another blog about the Iranian parliament. They are going to vote soon on whether to pass a law requiring all non-muslims to wear distinctive clothing. From what I know, non-muslims are not served/allowed in certain places as it is now. Under the new law Jews would be forced to wear a yellow strip of cloth. Christians would be required to wear a red strip of cloth sewn to their clothes and Zoroastrians blue. Nice place... What I find confusing is right now there is a group of peace activists touring Iran right now. and one of the members...her name is Melissa Van...is keeping a blog about her travels and how we have it all wrong about the country. In fact, she says she feels quite "free" there although she feels conflicted about the role of women, but she thinks that really our two countries are the same. The government has welcomed the group there with open arms...I'm sure...and showed them all a good time. But if you read the first article and then her blog you wonder if it is the same country. What is a non-muslim to think? Update: Looks like the idea was suggested but not passed.

Talking Points

I don't use talking points, I create them.

1. Hate makes people stoopid.

2. There is nothing so impenetrable as a closed mind.

3. A stupid person is not someone who can't learn, but someone who refuses to learn.

10. Children are not stupid. If a child is taught, the child will learn. If a child is not learning, the child is not being taught.

25 Immutable Truths About Liberals

Over the years I've been writing this blog, I've been throwing out little self-evident truths that seem to have no exceptions that prove the rule. I've made a list of some of them and will add to it as I remember them or make up more. Most of this list I've come up with myself. A few I've borrowed from others.

1. Always expect the worst from a liberal and you will never be surprised.

2. Never try to reason with a liberal. They disregard any evidence that conflicts with their beliefs.

3. You can always tell what liberals are up to by what they accuse conservatives of doing.

4. Liberals don't debate, they argue.

5. The only standards liberals have are double standards.

6. Liberals feel, conservatives think.

7. Whenever you don't understand a liberal's motives, just look for the money.

8. Liberals cannot be embarrassed. They lack the gene to blush.

9. The Liberal Golden Rule is, "Do unto others but scream bloody murder if they do unto you."

10. Liberals don't have leaders, they have demi-gods.

11. There are no honest liberals. If they were honest -- especially to themselves -- they would be conservatives.

12. A liberal's business is nobody's business, but everyone's business is a liberal's business.

13. Liberals have an inflated sense of self-worth. They are like house flies that criticize the air-worthiness of a Stealth fighter. (Sarah Palin, George W. Bush, ad infinitum are morons.)

14. Liberals lack a sixth sense that conservatives have in abundance -- common sense.

15. Liberals never stop hating.

16. There are only two types of liberals -- the deceivers and the deceived. The difficulty is telling them apart.

17. Every time liberals get on their high horse, they get bucked off.

18. Liberal programs are so wonderful that they have to be forced on people.

19. Liberals always choke on their own medicine.

20. When given a moral choice, liberals always come down on the wrong side of the fence.

21. The only way liberals can build themselves up is by tearing others down.

22. Liberals not only refuse to learn from their mistakes, they refuse to admit them.

23. Liberals have only two political positions -- blind devotion and blind hatred.

24. Liberals are incapable of attacking the message, so they always attack the messenger.

25. Liberal diversity is only skin deep.

Well, my Tonto goes where I dare not -- liberal web sites.

Oh yeah, this will work.; 5:15 PM
tugboatcapn said...: What do you have against Georgina?

What did she ever do to you?; 7:01 PM
Lone Ranger said...: Georgina is a "moderate." I'm sure we'll get into that later.; 7:09 PM
Lone Ranger said...: Red strip of cloth, eh? Every American who goes to Iran should dress as Superman.; 4:32 AM
Lone Ranger said...: Looking at my first post, it sounds sarcastic. I really meant it whan I said , "Oh yeah, this will work." One thing this blog has been missing is the viewpoint of the more radical left. Georgina has a stronger stomach than I have and can read and comment on that stuff. I don't even read most newspapers.; 5:15 PM
Tonto said...: Don't worry a little sarcasm doesn't scare me away and helps me build character...anyway the real use of the liberal site is more for fodder...to expose what doesn't make sense.

Yes peace is a good thing but if I have to defend a Fascist country to make that point...what good is peace when you are not free?; 11:11 PM
