Gene's Footnotes

I have never been impressed by the messenger and always inspect the message, which I now understand is not the norm. People prefer to filter out discordant information. As such, I am frequently confronted with, "Where did you hear that...." Well, here you go. If you want an email version, send me an email.

Doing Something: Talking to Dopes

Perhaps, a good plan would be to have serious comments to articles and, then, work with the trolls, true believers, and serious people who reply.  I have to say the mockery level of replies is vastly lower than a year ago.

Great photo from Washington Times of Sen. Reid demanding the First Amendment be changed to permit the government to ban free speech:


This is another photo where I need to check with micro expressions.   Here:


Pursed

Lips which are pulled inwards from all directions are an indication of tension and may indicate frustration or disapproval.
Pursed lips are a classic sign of anger, including when it is suppressed. It is effectively holding the mouth shut to prevent the person saying what they feel like saying. This may also be an indication of lying or withholding the truth as the person stops themselves from telling the truth.
Pursed lips can also indicate a person who is thinking and who is deciding between possible options. Deciding and disapproval are both evaluative actions, which is the common core of lip-pursing.

From the local Times Union

"This expression is typically found in men and ... comes from the need to keep a 'stiff upper lip,'" says Wood. "Many times this expression is an attempt to hide many intense emotions; sadness, fear and anger."



Here is a conversation from Washington Times:


  • You need no more to understand the subversives: "...proposed constitutional change that would give government the power to ban all spending on political campaigns." Except for unions, of course.
    Here is the 1st, known throughout the world as that which makes America great:
    "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for aredress of grievances."
    The Amendments were written to restate the obvious that the federal government cannot contravene inalienable rights. IT WAS A RESTATEMENT because several knew the central government would certainly try. The Democrats object to the language above because they object to free speech.
    If one likes the idea of stopping free speech, how about we establish a religion or stop Jews from meeting on the Sabbath?
    The democrats turn to the courts when they cannot get what they want; here, they lost in court so now they want an amendment so they can ignore the court and stop candidates from countering the fascists in government

            Wrong.
            See, in English, Jonah Goldberg's "Liberal Fascism." Mussolini was a Marxist fascist. This is what he said and he was the leading scholar of socialism in his time. Your dictionary may something else, but he spoke Italian. Hitler, of course, was a National SOCIALIST
            The manipulation of language is an old subversive technique. For example, we do not and have never lived in a democracy and the word liberal, throughout history until the recent US meant a philosophy dedicated to preserving individual freedom and liberty. Sounds nice so it was converted by those who believe the collective needs to control people and how much soda they drink.

                It's in the name, it must be so! Flawless revisionist logic. I suppose you believe that the DPRK is a democratic republic as well? I gave the definition in English, not revisionist code-speak.

                    Hitler, 1927: “We are socialists, we are enemies of today's capitalistic economic system....and we are all determined to destroy this system under all conditions.”
                    His complaints (left out) were similar to Mr. Obama and, as to effects, were true. Old Europe was an oligarchy, the cause, whose time had come. The US resisted revolution as it was a republic, and I highlight it "was." We are now a growing oligarchy in partnership with the ruling class.
                    It is hard to believe anyone who uses the term "revisionist" does not know his kinship with a fellow traveler, but Mr. Goldberg explains how this happened. The historical analysis is brilliant
                    A revisionist is a person who resists Marxist political subversion in favor of something prior. I am one but only in the vocabulary of the angry subversive.
                    The term "code-speak" is quite Orwellian. I have never heard anyone adopt Big Brother's views overtly.
                    Thank you for your compliment concerning logic.
