NRO's The Corner: Obamacare ‘like a house on fire’ with more flammable parts yet to come

You can't entirely blame the Islamists for being repulsed.

I have no experience with the gay club scene but formed a strong impression one day in Borders (RIP). I had to make an emergency dash into what was formerly called "the men's room" and snatched up a convenient newspaper from a shelf in the hall. Turned out to be a local gay paper. On the front was an article promoting the coming weekend. It featured a crowd photo with one gentlemen front and center and the obvious subject of the photo. He was wearing some kind of kimono-type garment left open in the front to expose nothing else except an athletic supporter. (Not sure if it really was rhinestone-incrusted or that was a later embellishment of my fevered imagination.)

What really most disgusts me about male homosexuality is the public flamboyance and promiscuity. I get it. He was advertising a club where instant, anonymous hook-ups were featured on the menu. You can't entirely blame the Islamists for being repulsed. The two lovely guys down the street who keep such a neat home and are polite neighbors are not the total face of the gay scene. Not by a long way.

i get mad

why can't u gays be less sexy all the time damn im just a humble bigot trying to suppress my sexuality like jesus and thomas jefferson intended

from the uncontrollable shitting to the prudery that whole post is a freudian wonderland.

Jonah is upset:

In response to the Supreme Court’s abortion ruling today, the folks at The Daily Show couldn’t help but do a little end zone dance.

Celebrate the #SCOTUS ruling! Go knock someone up in Texas! — The Daily Show (@TheDailyShow) June 27, 2016

I’m old enough to remember when liberals insisted that abortion was an unfortunate, even tragic, necessity. This was the inspiration behind Bill Clinton’s promise to make abortion “safe, legal and rare.”

Now, apparently, abortion is the kind of thing one should do out of spite.

Actually, it’s even worse than that. This tweet is aimed at men — and I don’t mean people who simply identify as men, but actual biologically male from birth men. They are saying — yes, yes, in “jest” — that “Bros” should go out and “knock up” women because that will really stick it to those stupid conservatives in Texas. Not only is the abortion a trivial instrumentality for political payback, so is the woman who has to go through an invasive surgical procedure.

I’m the first to concede that people take offense too easily and that comedians should be given a wide berth. But (a) the joke isn’t funny. And (b) The Daily Show is treated as an organ of “smart liberalism” (admittedly not as much since Jon Stewart left). Their jokes are a peek behind the curtain at how elite liberals view everyone who doesn’t share their worldview. It seems that some now think that terminating a human life is an act of virtue-signaling political protest, like wearing the ribbon du jour or putting a Darwin fish on your car. It’s disgusting.

Jonah doesn't know what "spite" means

Has Jonah ever heard a joke before? Is he willing to stipulate that all jokes, even those he or other conservatives make "are a peek behind the curtain at how [the jokester] view[s] everyone"? How about Rusk Limbaugh's jokes? Should they get the same treatment he gave that tweet in order to plumb the true thoughts of conservative elites?

Oh, that's right. He's an ass.

ugh i can't believe i'm agreeing with a point from one of the incomprehensible alien beings quoted itt but it is a pretty bad joke tbh, not because it's morally outrageous or anything but because it's lazy and predictable.

tbf it wasn't funny

no it's a terrible joke

and all the 'smart liberals' i follow also thought it was bad, which is probably why there was an apology

alas, too late for jonah

sure it's a terrible joke, but drawing a straight line from one tweet to 'what all liberal elites think about everyone' is an even more terrible piece of logic.

I guess he's too young to remember "abortion on demand and without apology."

does it come with any sides?

i hear bill kristol's candidate has offered some helpful tips about what to do when pulled over by the police

@JAYNORDLINGER During the Republican primaries, Putin praised Trump, and Trump praised him back. On television, Joe Scarborough pointed out to Trump that Putin kills his political opponents, invades other countries, etc.

Trump said, “He’s running his country and at least he’s a leader, you know, unlike what we have in this country.”

Scarborough pressed him: But what about the killing of political opponents?

Trump: “Well, I think our country does plenty of killing also, Joe.”

This is the kind of moral equivalence that would make Oberlin poli-sci profs blush.

Just yesterday, the New York Times asked Trump about Turkey and the depredations now going on. He answered, “When the world sees how bad the United States is and we start talking about civil liberties, I don’t think we are a very good messenger.”

Jeane Kirkpatrick was a Democrat when she spoke at the Republican convention of 1984. (She did not change her party registration until after she left the U.N. and the Reagan administration.) She said that her native party had the habit of “blaming America first.”

What would Kirkpatrick do today, when faced with Trump’s GOP or the Obama-Hillary Democratic party? Many of us are now homeless.

May it not last forever …

At National Review, we’re in the tank — for the truth. And the truth this week is that the Democratic party is set to nominate for president a former Secretary of State who has a legacy that is chilling and dangerous.

a weird topic to use the sixth-sense style ending on, but ok

thought this bump might be for the revival of discussion of the public option, which was encouraging.

NRO has the delicate task of slagging off both HRC and The Donald (#NeverTrump #NeverForget), while not seeming to recommend staying home on election day.

november is a great time of year for a cruise imo

^^cueing up the Gilligan's Island theme

amazing how irrelevant all these guys seem now. trump really has taken the party.

they've been irrelevant since the failure of the Iraq invasion

what NRO is reduced to:

Vice President Joe Biden officiated at the wedding of two male White House staffers yesterday, despite belonging to the Roman Catholic Church, which teaches that marriage is a sacrament that can occur only between a man and a woman.

You do not have to be an opponent of gay marriage or even a religious person to see the contradiction in Biden’s actions. By officiating at this ceremony, Biden demonstrated that progressive politics drive his actions more than his religious identification does, as is also evidenced by his support for abortion. This should disturb even people who agree with Biden’s support for same-sex marriage and abortion.

Strange it doesn't disturb me at all.

I am disturbed that he still belongs to the Catholic Church

NRO is moving from Disqus to Facebook commenting; anonymity-loving commenters lose their shit.

Here on the Corner, I’d like to say something about Before the Fall. That’s Safire’s memoir of the first Nixon administration. (In the old days, we referred to each term as an “administration.” So, 1985-89 would be “the second Reagan administration.”)

"There was a time in my life when I read gobs and gobs of White House memoirs. This was when I was about 20, I think."

I was wondering what was wrong with this author when I saw his "impromptus" article, which is completely nonsensical and reads like a drug induced ramble.

I think I understand now. At 20, the rest of us had girls.

This is awesome
