I could fucking kill you. – unidentified Illinois cop
This week’s video is a kind of private message for the ladies who love me, but the rest of you can enjoy the music. And if you don’t like The Bangles, I don’t want to hear about it. The links above the video were contributed by Dave Krueger (“cute” and “street”), Rick Horowitz (“truth”), Tim Cushing (“volunteer”), Popehat (“pen”), and Skye (“burning”).

I’m not a huge fan of the State, but if Burning Man is being closed down, I’m not all that sure I mind.
It is my impression that Burning Man is usually held on public lands, that it was held without permit for at least some of its history, and that (like many Politically Left events) it leaves considerable mess behind it. If I’m wrong, I will be delighted to hear it.
If the KKK held an annual event on public lands, casually violated a bunch of federal and/or local laws, omitted getting permits for the first several years, and then began getting them mostly as a recognition of fait accompli, and often left a big mess behind them, I would be slavering to have them shut down HARD. And I’m not convinced that the same doesn’t apply to Burning Man, no matter how Hip and Trendy it has been made to look.
That last comment was supposed to objective? How can you compare what the KKK believes with what the Burning Man represents. How can you compare the trash of legalized cannabis with the slogans of legalized raping of women. Burning man was a music festival not a hate group.
This conversation bites.
It has been my experience (and that of countless others) that most big Lefty gatherings are, in practice, hate groups. We are seeing this very clearly with the Antifa imbeciles who seem o think that torching cars and breaking widows is Constitutionally protected speech.
Politically, I’m a Crank. I have no patience with the KKK, Neo-Nazi, or Aryan Brotherhood schools of trailer trash supremacy. But the self-congratulatory Progressive Left is almost intolerant, willfully ignorant, self-aggrandizing and violent. Why would I find such behavior acceptable on the Left when it isn’t on the Right?
It is because “politically you are a crank” I can allow this confused propagation of ideals. If you really don’t know the difference between violence and self-defense, then God help you.
It is this lack of understanding that is confusing our law enforcement and turning America into a Police State. When we can not tell the difference between someone enjoying the freedoms that are given opposed to someone demanding freedoms that don’t exist.
The difference between someone fighting to keep freedoms on the table and someone fighting to indoctrinate there children to hate for the simple sake of hating. God help us.
Experts agree that dissing the Bangles leads to crossing streets leads to owning pens, or worse.
