Reflections From a Murky Pond

In the wake of the lamestream media’s concerted attack upon Herman Cain “Cain-ing” should become a tropism and “to be Cained” and “he got Cained” should definitely become part of America’s lexicon.

Cain-ing

Function: verb

Date: 2011

Definition(s):

1. the act of using the publicizing of unsubstantiated allegations from less than credible complainants to erode perception of an individual’s character so as to weaken their position in matters not directly related to the allegations or complainants.

But the real question and the crux of issue at hand is why the lamestream MSM willfully chose to wage a war of character assassination against Herman Cain in the hopes of sandbagging his bid for the 2012 GOP presidental nomination?

The Liberals and other apologists for Islam and Muslims love to rant, rave, and caterwaul about the need for the peoples of the Civilized World to show tolerance for Islam and Muslims within our nations. Any indication that the citizenry of these nations are not overtly welcoming to Muslims is met with virulent hatred and scorn by these Liberals and with cries of Islamaphobia, racism, and bigotry.

While biased – they only demand tolerance to be shown towards culturally non-normative religions – the Liberals’ attitude and demands are not completely without merit. Tolerance is a virtue and a certain level of it in necessary to the function of any nation.

Hence, I will repost here the words of an associate of mine who also feels the need for tolerance:

I am truly perplexed that so many of my friends are against the building of new mosques in America and the UK.

I think it should be the goal of every American and British resident to be tolerant.

Thus these Mosques should be allowed, in an effort to promote tolerance.

That is why I also propose that two nightclubs be opened next door to each of the mosques, thereby promoting tolerance from within the mosque.

We could call one of the clubs, which would be gay, “The Turban Cowboy “, and the other a topless bar called “You Mecca Me Hot.”

Next door should be a butcher shop that specializes in pork, and adjacent to that an open-pit barbeque pork restaurant, called “Iraq o’ Ribs.”

Across the street there could be a lingerie store called “Victoria Keeps Nothing Secret” with sexy mannequins in the window modelling the goods.

Next door to the lingerie shop there would be room for an adult sex toy shop, “Koranal Knowledge”, its name in flashing neon lights, and on the other side a liquor store called “Morehammered.”

All of this would encourage the Muslims to demonstrate the tolerance they demand of us, so the mosque problem would be solved.

Tolerance is a gift and, like all gifts, is best when shared. Additionally, tolerance often begets tolerance and the Muslims within the Civilized World do have something to prove…

Really, I think we let them build their mosques, largely wherever they like, and give them a chance to show that they’re as committed to tolerance as the Liberals demand that people be.

The Liberals’ idea of race relations and mitigating the racism that they see everywhere – except in the mirror or in the eyes of non-Whites – has always centered on accommodation, appeasement, excuses, and lowering standards in order to foster an equality of result. This has, in general, had poor results but was especially harmful to everyone when they applied it to creditworthiness.

Thomas Sowell sums up how well this helped the Blacks:

Government agencies, from the Department of Housing and Urban Development to the Federal Reserve leaned on lenders to lower lending standards, and the Department of Justice threatened prosecutions for discrimination if the racial makeup of people approved for mortgage loans did not match their preconceptions.

It worked. In fact, it worked so well that many blacks got loans that they could not have gotten otherwise.

Now the statistics tell us, belatedly, that blacks lost out, big time, from this “favor” done for them by politicians.

Reality being what it is, these Blacks who were handed loans that they didn’t except by grace of their skin color and Liberal stupidity qualify for, were “overrepresented” among those who later defaulted on their mortgages.

Of course a certain equality of outcome or result was achieved by the Liberals’ policies. The banks’ move to shield themselves from the inherent risks in sub-prime mortgages by bundling them into securities and the federal governments’ regulations that coerced financial firms to heavily buy those securities was a large part of what led to America’s current economic woes which have affected us all.

It’s a simple fact that lowering the standards and applying coercive force to ensure any form of demographic quotas can and will only achieve an equality of results when those results are negative and such negative results are the most likely outcome.
