LEFT-WING ARCHIE BUNKERS: A BEHAVIORAL GUIDE

hippyBalladeer’s Blog presents a look at the bizarre behavior of the figures called Left-Wing Archie Bunkers, a sub-group of American Liberals. (You can call me a Populist or a Socialist or an Anarchist but please not a Liberal. American Liberals have ruined that word.)

For this first installment we’ll compare and contrast the way a reasonable person and a Left-Wing Archie Bunker would react to being told a fanatic has just slain over a dozen innocent people in cold blood.

Reasonable Person’s Reaction: What a horrible thing to do! I hope they catch the person who did it!

Left-Wing Archie Bunker’s Reaction: What religion was the shooter? If they were a Muslim their religion had nothing to do with it, but if they were a Christian then it proves that Christians are dangerous to us all.

You see, while the Reasonable Person is able to express their reaction right away the Left-Wing Archie Bunker has to make sure the killer wasn’t a Muslim. If the shooter WAS a Muslim then that changes the way the Left-Wing Archie Bunker feels permitted to react.

As I’ve mentioned before, American Liberals have reduced themselves to barely human political robots. Rather than have spontaneous human reactions they are programmed to filter everything through the prism of their many, MANY political prejudices.  

I could swear that a Muslim fanatic could gun down a Left-Wing Archie Bunker’s own children right in front of them while screaming “Die, scum, die!” and the American Liberal’s response would be something like this:

Left-Wing Archie Bunker: Damn American foreign policy for making this otherwise peace-loving Muslim gentleman murder my children act out in legitimate resistance to American imperialism and/or Islamophobia!   

Yes, Left-Wing Archie Bunkers – especially the ones from the prolonged adolescence of the “academic world” (LMFAO) – are relics of a time when the Western World was long past due for some collective introspection and reevaluation.

FIVE DECADES have passed since then, however, and we are now in a period when the Muslim World is long past due for some collective introspection and reevaluation. Their generation refuses to EVER consider the possibility that people outside of the Western World could be in the wrong on any given issue. Continue reading

THE MAN WITHOUT A BODY (1957): MOVIE REVIEW

I received a request to review the infamously bad movie The Man Without A Body but I already did back in 2010. Here it is as an encore, but remember, you can always click here:   https://glitternight.com/bad-movies/

Man Without a BodyTHE MAN WITHOUT A BODY – (1957) – Category: A neglected bad movie classic that deserves a Plan 9-sized cult following      

Trying to follow the layer after layer of distorted logic in this film could drive you nuts. Taking the story from the top, we have THE George Coulouris (Mr Thatcher in Citizen Kane) playing a megalomaniacal 1950s tycoon named Karl Brussard. Brussard has a brain tumor, which the movie very tastelessly lets us know by the way he constantly thinks he hears phones ringing. Seriously. He’s always grabbing the phone  receiver and then slamming it down when there’s nobody on the line.

After his tumor is diagnosed, our tycoon, desperate to prolong his life, goes to a mad scientist, played by Robert Hutton from The Hideous Sun Demon. Hutton’s plan is to transplant a healthy brain into Brussard’s head to replace his ailing one.

Man without a body eyeballNow, in a movie operating within any  framework of logic (suspension of disbelief notwithstanding) that would mean we’d have the brain and mind of the  donor  controlling Brussard’s body, while all that was Brussard would still die when his brain does. Not so here! 

In this movie’s demented universe the brain would still have Brussard’s mind just because it is operating within Brussard’s body. (?!) Continue reading

LLOYD MARCUS ON THE SICKNESS OF THE DEMOCRAT PARTY

lloyd-marcus-3Balladeer’s Blog has previously showcased items by the courageous Lloyd Marcus. Here is another example of him absolutely nailing it when it comes to the rot and sickness which has driven so many of us away from the Democrats. The link is below, but first some excerpts:

“(E)very common sense thing Trump says he intends to do beneficial to America is vehemently opposed by the democrats. What on earth has happened to my dad’s Democrat Party? My fellow Americans, our greatest threat is not ISIS. It is the Democrat Party.”

“Here are just a few Trump putting America first promises that have enraged democrats, launching a scorched earth policy to stop him:

A new national pride is sweeping across our nation.” Democrat controlled public schools have been teaching our kids that patriotism is racist

Trump and quote“We’ve financed and built one global project after another, but ignored the fates of our children in the inner cities of Chicago, Baltimore, Detroit—and so many other places throughout our land.” As an American who happens to be black, it baffled me for years why black democrats seemed content with cities they control like Chicago, Baltimore and Detroit becoming hellholes of black poverty and black on black crime. Then, it dawned on me. Democrat blacks are not black. They are first and foremost liberals who seek power via government control and dependency.

“…my Administration has answered the pleas of the American people for immigration enforcement and border security. By finally enforcing our immigration laws, we will raise wages, help the unemployed, save billions of dollars, and make our communities safer for everyone. We want all Americans to succeed –- but that can’t happen in an environment of lawless chaos. We must restore integrity and the rule of law to our borders.” 

“Folks, democrats say screw the law, screw jobs and screw national security. They want as many unskilled government dependent illegals flooding across our borders as possible. Obama spent a whopping $113 billion, $1,117 each, settling illegals into our country, priming them to become democrat voters.”

THE ULTIMATE INHERITORS (1914): VINTAGE SCIENCE FICTION

Giant spiderTHE ULTIMATE INHERITORS (1914) – Written by Berg Bellair. This is a very entertaining work of vintage or “ancient” science fiction and is especially noteworthy for the way it anticipates the many “big bug” movies of the 1950s and later.  

In the California desert, where the Golden State borders Arizona and Mexico, a pair of investment miners named Big Ike Pemberton and Joe Kinzie save an older man from dying of exposure. The man turns out to be Doctor Bauer, a scientist who was investigating uranium deposits in the vicinity.  

Dr Bauer is the sole survivor of an expedition whose exploratory blasting work accidentally freed dozens of giant, horse-sized spiders from subterranean caverns. Bauer has photographic proof of this claim and theorizes that radiation from the uranium deposits mutated the spiders into their current enormous state. Continue reading

AISHA BOKARI GOMBI: FEMALE WARRIOR AGAINST BOKO HARAM

AishaAisha Bokari Gombi of Nigeria joins the real-life League of Extraordinary Women. She is known and feared by the Muslim extremist group Boko Haram, against whom she has been spectacularly successful. (And as always, part of the grim appeal of female warriors who take on Jihadists is the fact that – in Islam’s misogynistic mythology – terrorists killed by women DO NOT get the 72 virgins promised in the afterlife.)

The link to the latest article about this 21st Century heroine is below, but first some excerpts:

“As seven abducted women and four children were being taken deeper into Sambisa forest, Aisha Bakari Gombi received a call. The voice was familiar: an army commander asking her to assemble a group of hunters to track them down.

The 11 had vanished earlier that day after a group of Boko Haram militants attacked their village, Daggu. Three local people were shot dead and cars, houses and food stores set ablaze.”

“Bakari Gombi grew up near the Sambisa forest, where the extremists still operate despite a military offensive last year that destroyed many of their major camps. She used to hunt antelopes, baboons and guinea fowl with her grandfather. Now she hunts Boko Haram.”

“Bakari Gombi is one of only a handful of women (Hamsat Hassan is another)  involved and she has become a heroine for hunters and local people alike. Her gallantry has won her the title “queen hunter.” Continue reading

DONALD TRUMP’S ROGUES GALLERY OF FOES

Richard Channing 2

*************** Donald Trump = Richard Channing

The drama continues here in the U.S. as President Donald Trump continues to wage virtually a one-man war against America’s notorious sewer of political corruption. Here are some quick takes on just a few of the self-proclaimed enemies of political reform that our roguish President Richard Channing faces.

NOTE: These are foes outside of the obvious trash like the Bush Family, career criminal Hillary Clinton, the Islamic State, Mexican Drug Lords, Faculty Lounge Fascists, etc.

CIATHE AMERICAN INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY – The fact that America’s Intelligence Services – who are quite rightly despised here and around the world – oppose Trump so openly is a GOOD sign.

Any slim chance of political reform would not be possible with anyone embraced by the pieces of garbage who work for America’s CIA, NSA, FBI or “Homeland Security.” (Remember, the repulsive Bush Family were beloved by those outfits.) Trump’s outsider credentials are further cemented by the “Leak War” being waged against him by our homegrown Okhrana.

La RazaLA RAZA – La Raza (Racists Without Borders) are a hate group who – by their own deranged admission – support their own as a kind of Master Race.  “THE Race” is the literal translation and La Raza hatemongers are proud as hell of that fact.

La Raza members can’t get enough illegal immigration and they apparently don’t care how many rapists, murderers and drug dealers repeatedly slip across our eternally unsecured southern border. Illegal immigration means more political influence for them and like ALL such hate groups, power and influence are La Raza’s REAL goal.  

Resistco 2RESISTCO – Yes, the faux rebels of ResistCo love to pretend they are being, like, so totally daring by gutlessly and unquestioningly embracing every brain-dead sing-song slogan and every outdated political opinion that the forces of conformity order them to.

These silly little people aren’t afraid to fly in the face of everything held dear … by long-dead people from the 1950s and earlier. Will they ever have the courage to take on the REAL forces of oppression here in the 21st Century? Not likely. Remember, these emotional cripples need Safe Spaces to hide from reality.  Continue reading
