The Bookworm Beat 11-17-15 — the “guest blogger” edition and open thread

Unknown personI haven’t had a chance to get much writing done today, but a friend who knows what interests me sent me such a chock-full-of-information email that I’m just going to pass it on to you.

Well, the gossip mags have been talking for two weeks about some male star HIV positive. Turns out it is Charlie Sheen. I don’t wish that on anyone, but color me not surprised. But here is the kicker: If rumors are true he has known for four years, during which time he has had unprotected sex with who knows how many women without warning them of his condition. He is concerned about his condition coming to light because he worries it will “hurt his career.” Lock him up, toss in a couple of starving honey badgers, then throw away the key.

Anti-Islamist protests are occurring all over France. Not exactly a surprise. What I do find curious is that they tag the protesters and Marine La Pen as “far right wing.” There is nothing “right wing” or conservative about her. She is a socialist and a nationalist. Honestly, even before people retake their countries in Europe, they need to burn down the press.

I listened to a Trump rally on the radio as I drove to the store to pick up some milk earlier. For the better part of 20 mins I heard him talk about how great he was going to make things, how the press hates him, and how wonderful he is. The guy could not be more superficial. He makes my skin crawl at this point. Anyone who is buying this travesty is our version of a 2008 Obama voter. I weep for our nation.

The left has created a true monster with the Black Lives Matter movement, a group based on utter dark fantasy and wallowing in victimhood and reverse racism. They seem to want a race war. This from Mediate about a Dartmouth incident. I expect Powerline will deal with it tomorrow [which they did]:

Protesters at Dartmouth University disrupted students studying in the library, reportedly directing profanity towards white students and physically pushing others.

In a critical editorial, the conservative Dartmouth Review listed some of the epithets hurled by the protesters: “Fuck you, you filthy white fucks!” “Fuck you and your comfort!” “Fuck you, you racist shits!”

In addition, the Review reports that some of protesters became physically violent: “Men and women alike were pushed and shoved by the group. ‘If we can’t have it, shut it down!’ they cried. Another woman was pinned to a wall by protesters who unleashed their insults, shouting ‘filthy white bitch!’ in her face.”

Campus Reform managed to obtain video showing the protesters walking through the library shouting as others try to study. One of the protesters can be seen flipping off the cameraman. Another gets in the face of those who are studying demanding they say that black lives matter.

They seem intent on creating racial incidents. And the pajama boys at Dartmouth, students and faculty alike, do nothing.

This is from a year ago – Bridgette Gabriel answering a Muslim woman who asks how we win this war if we do not address it ideologically, implying that Muslims are being bashed. Gabriels answer: 180 to 300 million of Islams world-wide are or fully support the jihadi agenda. You will appreciate her answer. The peaceful majority are irrelevant sheep.

For my part, the only way this is successfully met head on is to shine the bright light of reality on Islam for all to see. Public opinion world-wide needs to be brought against Islam for the sheep to understand that they need to act or they will all suffer. List off the things that have to change, that are no longer acceptable from the pulpit. There is a laundry list, from the fact that it is not acceptable to kill OR enslave non-Muslims to Sharia laws unequal treatment of women, etc.

You will find this post Ace has done fascinating. He talks about the relationship between the left and their television shows. I will say no more. [But I will, in a post I plan to put up later today.]

You mentioned NH Gov. Maggie Hassan (D) to me the other day as someone with a bit of sanity. I note that she is in the news today for joining with Republican governors calling for a complete halt of accepting Syrian refugees. Methinks she and Tulsi Gabbard need to come over to the dark side.
