What Is Blind Lemur Conservatives?
Origins Game Fair – Where Discourse Is Unwelcome
First things first. I don’t have a dog in this hunt. I was not planning on attending Origins, and never would have, as it is in Ohio, and I simply won’t go to that state unless absolutely necessary. So this doesn’t impact my plans in the least. Second things…I am very torn on this, as […]
On The Subject Of Pride
We heard an awful lot about how hateful the white pride movement is this past weekend. And have been hearing it for at least a year, probably longer. I tend to tune it out because in my experience the people most likely to shout about the evils of white pride are the same ones extolling […]
This Is How It Should Be
Which, yes, means it doesn’t. But this is simple, and we can’t seem to pull it together enough to get the simple stuff like this right. It makes me worry. I see so many examples of the kind of things that make this list feel needed every day. It is, in fact, the main reason […]
Farewell, Mr. President
While I think that the Obama presidency will be judged a failure, for several reasons (and one huge one), I also know no person is wholly one thing or another. So, to that end, here are some things that I believe Mr. Obama got right. Repealed “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’’ – Look, anyone who thinks […]
Carrier & Starfish
So this week, President-Elect Trump secured a deal with Carrier to keep about a thousand jobs in Indiana. At a cost of more than seven million dollars over several years. This has been widely panned as showing companies how to blackmail the President into giving them tax incentives and so forth in order to keep […]
A Fisking…
So, I saw this posted, and decided it was too good to not fisk a bit. My comments in <<brackets>>. I cannot verify, and do not suggest, that this represents all supporters of Black Lives Matter (I know it does not), but it does claim to speak for the leaders. Make of that what you […]
So, It’s Trump
Well, didn’t see that coming. Like a lot of people, I simply underestimated Trump, and it looks like that was a mistake. But honestly, people. You’d think you woke up to hell on earth or something. Let me clue you in – this ‘how could this happen’ feeling? Yeah, it is how conservatives felt in […]
A Reminder
VOTE! And now, some content. In this election, I have seen a lot of things I never expected to – and I think we all need to remember one core fact. We are all Americans. Let that sink in. Regardless of who wins tomorrow, regardless of the bluster, remember we are all Americans. I have […]
Blind Lemur Conservative Endorsements
Ok, I want to make this one official. As the head of the Blind Lemur Conservative Party (motto: Vel Caeci Facere Maius Lemur [Even a Blind Lemur Could Do A Better Job]), here are the party endorsements for 2016. Since I, and thus the Inner Party, are in Crook Cook County, that’s what you get. […]
Vote
I know, you hate your candidate almost a much as you hate theirs. I know, your candidate was robbed in the primaries, colluded against, maligned, whatever. I know, you really want to support that third-party candidate, but it feels like a wasted vote, and you worry about the other party winning because your party fractured. I […]
