the importance of science

It amazes me to have to say this, but science is just real, real important, folks. It's incredible to me that the Trump administration thinks it can just finesse the overwhelming scientific consensus on climate change-- but's that's exactly what they're trying to do. Science is the best tool we humans have developed for understanding the nature of physical reality. To think one can ignore its conclusions is the height of hubris.

'racial equity'

When I hear this phrase 'racial equity,' what I really hear is, 'More handouts and quotas, please!' This means taking more money from productive people and using it to subsidize unproductive people. It also means handing out jobs and university places on the basis of skin color or ethnicity rather than ability and competence. I'm against it.

in a nutshell

In a nutshell, these are the kind of people we don't want:

. above all, people who exhibit that peculiar combination of low intelligence and violence that is absolutely toxic to civilized life; and

.beyond that, those who cannot or will not avoid becoming welfare recipients and criminals. Such people share a common characteristic: They are parasites, living off the productive people. We don't need them.

And the kind of people we do want? Why, those who are civilized, educated, and responsible, of course.

the trouble with feminists

The trouble with feminists is, they don't reproduce. These are among the brightest, best-educated people in our society, but a lot of them don't have any children at all. It's almost a badge of honor with them. Oh, they might have one, a la Chelsea Clinton, but that's about it, that's enough of that oppressive, patriarchal child-bearing nonsense. Meanwhile, the welfare idiots are churning them out like rabbits. Idiocracy, here we come.

I think educated, intelligent women should feel obligated to have at least two children, three if they and their spouse want one and can afford it. In fact, I would almost say that women like this have a duty to reproduce.

democrats

My problem with the Democratic Party is quite simple. I think the Democratic establishment would be quite content to watch the United States become a third-world country as long as they got to maintain their power and privilege. That's why they feel much more comfortable with their Wall Street megadonors than with the useful idiots who constitute their minority voter base.

After all, this is pretty much the way they operate in big cities, which contain what are basically whole swaths of third-world areas now. Somebody like Rahm Emanuel, for example, (mayor of Chicago) doesn't really have to care too much about the state of the Chicago public schools; he sends his kids to private school. As did Jesse Jackson. As did Bill Clinton-- although he said during his campaign that Chelsea would attend a public school in Washington. In the event, she attended one of the most exclusive private schools in the city-- the same school that Barack Obama sent his two daughters to.

education

I'm really beginning to think we need a radical restructuring of public education in this country. In particular, I'm thinking we should stop trying to waste money 'educating'  very low-intelligence people (people with, say, IQs south of 90). Trying to educate people like this beyond a sixth- or eighth-grade level is just a waste of time, energy, and money. It's just not going to 'take,' anyway, because these kids just can't handle it.

What should they do instead? Maybe they could become agricultural laborers. They shouldn't be living in cities anyway; they just get into trouble there. Working on farms would at least give them something productive to do to fill up their time.

birthright citizenship

This so-called 'birthright citizenship'-- by which the children of people in the country illegally are American citizens at birth-- is something that few major countries have, and with good reason. It doesn't make any sense. India even abolished it entirely in 2004 because of illegal immigration from Bangladesh.

This right was supposedly created by the 14th amendment, but that amendment was framed to deal specifically with the rights of ex-slaves and their children. The notion that it dealt with children born to people in the country illegally has been created by courts over the last century and a half, in their interpretation of the phrase 'all persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof.' This 'right' was created by courts, and it can be taken away by courts-- and should be.
