Lena Dunham's OCD Fantasies

Lena Dunham's OCD Fantasies

The much-acclaimed, ultra-liberal, tatooed feminist 27 Lena Dunham–actress, screenwriter, producer, director, creator, writer and star of the HBO series Girls, and newly-disclosed college rape-date victim won’t be getting married any time soon not because of her almost instant stardom or due to her alleged rape by an unidentified conservative student at Ohio’s Oberlin College some years ago but because gay marriage is not yet legal throughout America.

Or, so she says.

However, how the increasingly-toothy Dunham’s marital future relates to universal official sanction for men wedding other men and women wedding other women is unclear at except, perhaps, through her distorted, obsessive compulsive prism.

Diagnosed with OCD in childhood, at 27, Dunham still receives low maintenance doses of antidepressant drugs designed to reduce anxieties and whatever else bothers her mind, body, and spirit.

Without disparaging the effects of any disease–I have more than my share, thank you very much–according to the National Institute of Mental Health, OCD results only in temporary relief from patient anxieties and goes far beyond manically checking, touching, and counting things.  It extends to “frequent thoughts of violence and harming loved ones, persistently thinking about performing sexual acts the person dislikes, or having thoughts that are prohibited by religious beliefs. People with OCD may also be preoccupied with order and symmetry, have difficulty throwing things out (so they accumulate), or hoard unneeded items.”

Such a definition would account for Dunham’s never-before-reported date rape as well as for her delayed anger over the drunken Oberlin incident. . . . (Read more at http://www.genelalor.com/blog1/?p=39399.)

Seattle Bids a Sad Good-Bye to Columbus, a Fond Recognition to Natives

Seattle Bids a Sad Good-Bye to Columbus, a Fond Recognition to Natives

Council members of America’s 40th largest city ranking the town 23rd in overall population and boasting annual salaries ranging up to $119,976.48, Seattle, have voted to bid good-bye to Chris Columbus in favor of extending an enthusiastic hello to indigenous people,” namely, groups designated as entitled to certain inalienable rights and privileges by virtue of a distinctive cultural history, vulnerability, exploitation, colonial oppression–and political correctness.

Apparently, the “City of Goodwill” regards Italian-born Christophoro Columbo and Italian-Americans in general as much less deserving of continued recognition and respect than indigineous peoples mainly because Columbus has been dead for over five hundred years, his forebears seem pretty tolerant of gross insult, and because Native Americans and their associates have nothing better to do than bitch and agitate.

Last Monday, Seattle’s city fathers and mothers voted unanimously to recognize “Indigenous Peoples’ Day” effective October 13th, 2014, not coincidentally the date normally celebrated as Columbus Day–almost as if Seattle were intending to rub rough garlic into the gaping wound they had already inflicted upon the city’s 25,000 Italian-Americans and any other offended non-indigeneous residents.

Columbus Day has been observed as a federal holiday since 1937 although it’s neither an official Seattle holiday nor a Washington State holiday but has long been celebrated as cause for parades and similar festivities in recognition of the Italian world explorer’s contribution to world history by “discovering” the Americas in 1492.

The facts that Columbus failed in his mission . . . (Read more at http://www.genelalor.com/blog1/?p=39342.)

Nightmares from Obama's Brother

Nightmares from Obama's Brother

 

. . . Those are excerpts not from President Barack Hussein Obama’s ghost-written, mostly-fictional, alleged memoir, “Dreams from My Father.”  Rather, they are the words of Mark Obama Ndesandjo, Barack’s Kenyan half-brother, from his self-published autobiography, “An Obama’s Journey: My Odyssey of Self-Discovery across Three Cultures.”

Mark Obama Ndesandjo had much to gain and little to lose in publishing his book at this time since his half-brother is on his last legs as president and facing two long years as a disgraced nonentity in office, disgraced by five and a half years caused and cursed by his own incompetence and arrogant presumption that he was ever qualified to seek the office of president of the United States.

As quoted in Britain’s Daily Mail, (few American publications have even mentioned the book’s existence), Mark and Barack “have never seen eye-to-eye because ‘Barack thought I was too white and I thought he was too black’” although Mark did express his fond hope that the brothers could resume family ties following Barack’s presidency.

Born to a white mother like the president, Obama Ndesandjo . . .  (Read the excerpts and more at http://www.genelalor.com/blog1/?p=38618.)

Newsday's Lane Filler's Toxic Religious Bigotry

Newsday's Lane Filler's Toxic Religious Bigotry

Lane Filler has been a member of the Newsday editorial board since 2010, during which time he has never been too shy to express his controversial views on what’s wrong with America and his remedies for curing those flaws.

In defending Robin William’s September suicide, Filler wrote recently that, “If we believe mature adults [but not young people] are the best judges of how they ought to live, aren’t they also the experts on whether they ought to live? We could stop judging so harshly the act of suicide. We could listen to the cries of pain and, perhaps, even believe them.” 

Last July, he attacked our country for our mean-spirited policies of restricting the mass invasion by uncounted, unaccompanied children across America’s southern border, asking, “What is the purpose of America? And what is the meaning of life?”
Aside from his apparent ignorance regarding America’s “purpose” and the tangential relevance of life’s meaning, Filler revealed an abject disregard for both our national territorial integrity and our essential national character in those two articles, themes he carried to another extreme in “Why Conservatives Can’t Balk at Same-sex Marriage.”

Written from his jaded point of view as a confirmed liberal-leftist, the latter piece exposed Filler as an anti-Christian zealot who can’t seem to distinguish between long-established conservative dogma and irrationality.

For example, he wrote that, “If you care that consenting adults can get married, regardless of their genders or colors or sexual proclivities, you’re not really a conservative. You use the term to describe yourself because you think some people will favor it, like when people on dating sites call themselves ‘adventurous’ and that ”Real adventurers meet new lovers at zip-lining conventions, or even prayer marathons, not online in chat rooms. And real conservatives don’t care what consenting adults do with their money or lungs or genitals if it does not intrude on the liberty of others.”

Perhaps to arrogantly emphasize his bigotry, Filler felt compelled to add, ”But worse than the ‘conservatives’ who think your freedom ends when you want to do something they find icky are the ones who would truly pervert the Constitution to fight what they see as perversion.”

Now, as a non-adventurist Christian conservative, I can’t take issue with Filler’s inalienable right to spout blatant misrepresentations and distortions though I won’t defend to the death his authority to so spout them. 

However, considering the facts he hails from a Jewish heritage background and is a liberal-leftist to boot, . . . (Read more at http://www.genelalor.com/blog1/?p=39313.)

America Can't Trust Thomas Frieden's CDC

America Can't Trust Thomas Friedan's CDC

Among my favorite Ronald Reagan quotations are, “Politics is supposed to be the second-oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first” and “The nine most terrifying words in the English language are: ‘I’m from the government and I’m here to help.’”  

Without suggesting that someone is a whore or a governmental waste of protoplasm, both observations are all too applicable to the former Commissioner of ultra-liberal Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, Thomas R. Frieden.

Since 2009, MD-MPH Friedan has been the Director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and Administrator of the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR), federal public agencies of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services responsible for controlling health threats from infectious diseases, responding to emergencies, and battling the leading causes of suffering and death in our nation and around the world, according to the CDC website.
 
The ATSDR website says it “serves the public by using the best science, taking responsive public health actions, and providing trusted health information to prevent harmful exposures and diseases related to toxic substances.”

The chief problems with Friedan, the CDC, and the ATSDR are that all have failed miserably in controling much if any of the suffering and  fatalities related to the deadly Ebola virus now on the precipice of rampaging across America.

It seems some things–such as base politics, political correctness, and gross ambition–take precedence over duty, honor, and competence for some people.  In fact, for all his cheerleading and bluster on the Ebola issue, . . . (Read more at http://www.genelalor.com/blog1/?p=39276.)

What Can We Do?

What Can We Do?

The Ebola virus is about to ravage the planet like no other disease has done in many decades.  The Obama administration has been in the process of destroying everything good America has stood for over the past two centuries.  Our nation is more divided into cynical special interests than it has been since the inauguration of the Civil Rights Movement.  Al-Qaida is “looking to do it [attack America] very, very soon.” Up to a half of American schoolkids speak a language other than English at home.  Crime is as rampant as the economy is moribund in our land.  Weapons of mass and personal protection are being banned with mindless vengeance.

And, our First Lady is pissed that kids nationwide have told the Flotus to stick her child obesity guidelines where school lunches don’t shine.

While all those issues represent threats to America’s future, perhaps our greatest danger rests in the fact we are on the verge of deciding whether to continue on with demonstrably government ineptitude and disastrous policies or to hit a re-set and reverse our various national courses, dangerous chiefly because much of the so-called “24-hour news cycle” is lost, consumed with such matters as where crocodiles gather for lunch on the Zambezi and who last discovered she has been a life-long lesbian.

Readers will debate the truth of real news depending on their social and political perspectives, what’s not open to disagreement is the reality that the United States and the world we once dominated are not the same as they were a mere quarter century back. 

Regretably, many Americans and much of the world are perfectly content with the new sea changes which are at variance with what they prefer to acccept as truth.

By all un-emotional standards, America is rapidly deteriorating into the depths of a cowardly, intimidated new world beset by craven politicians. . .

Dutch Like Killing You Softly

Dutch Like Killing You Softly

When the hip soul group The Fugees recorded “Killing Me Softly” two decades ago, they could not have envisioned how the Netherlands’ government would have effectively adopted their song’s theme as their national euthanasia anthem in 2014. 

Its lyrics fit perfectly with its policy of assisting both its terminally-ill and not-so-terminally sick citizens to comfortably shuffle off this mortal coil as if they were bothersome stray cats and often whether they wanted to be shuffled or not.

“Killing Me Softly” is actually a love song and starts with, “And there he was this young boy, a stranger to my eyes” before launching into the gist of its romantic sentiment with, “Strumming my pain with his fingers, . . . killing me softly with his song, killing me softly with his song, telling my whole life with his words.”

According to Britain’s Daily Mail, Dutch politicians, while still keeping euthanasia, aka “assisted dying,” as comfortable as possible, have now begun including “severe psychiatric problems” and dementia as reasons sufficient to dispatch people to the Great Beyond while notably not incorporating the insidious use of “terminal sedation” in their death tallies. . . .
