I don’t usually waste valuable ink on celebrities unless they do or say something in excess of the expected amount of ignorance.  Jennifer Aniston has done just that.  She apparently thinks the idea of being a single mom is OK–like as if anyone could do it.

Everyone in your little circle of wealthy Hollywood and professional types Jen, or did you realize that when you say stuff like that everyone hears it? 

“Women are realizing it more and more, knowing that they don’t have to settle with a man just to have that child,” Aniston said at a press conference Sunday. “Times have changed and that is also what is amazing, is that we do have so many options these days, as opposed to our parents’ days when you can’t have children because you waited too long.”

Options? "We?"  What world do you live on?

These notes come to us via Instapundit:

Congressman introduces resolution to protect citizens who videotape cops.

And here’s an editorial from USA Today.

And here’s one more thing: DA’s office agrees to unusual settlement. “The Allegheny County district attorney’s office has agreed to settle a federal lawsuit against it by redistributing a memo explaining that it is not against the law to videotape a police officer in the course of doing his duty. The unusual settlement — which includes no financial terms — came about after a Hill District man was charged with violating state wiretap laws in April 2009.”

I was wandering around the ‘Net and saw that Dean decided to go after Vicki over at TBONH.  The pretext was that since the writer behind TBONH had been anonymous in taking on Democrats (and others) from a Conservative standpoint, he decided to highlight her take on THE social issue for the Left / Progressives – gay marriage.  Yup, the issue that turned this State upside down AFTER the elections because the Progressives made that the number one goal of the legislative session.

You know, it’s rather lame because:

• where the people of the State have had the chance to decide (vs the Legislature or the Court system), gay marriage has gone down in flames.  Ditto ripping off the male / female signs off bathrooms.
• Dean went after Vicki simply because she was anonymous in posting – Libs hate stealth mode
• yet, the Progressives pat themselves all over for passing gay marriage after being anonymous concerning it during the campaign season – gee, I’d call that a stealth mode as well.

"Not for thee but fine for me" cognitive dissonance – otherwise, call it hypocrisy.   Sure, she was anonymous in her posting – a long time American standard stemming back to the Revolutionary War times (think Publius).  But of course, Progressives hate the fact that others think their stances rather ridiculous and wish to out everyone so as to then demonize them. 

For example, witness Kathy Sullivan and Maggie Hassan’s failed attempt of MaggieSpeech – the micro version of the national DISCLOSURE Act that just got pulled by Pelosi because everyone started to realize that it was such a dog constitutionally – that even those on the Left realized that while the short term political gain for the 2010 elections might be a lumen brighter with it, it would bit them all in the butt afterward.  The intent of both Acts were not so much to ban the Free Speech that the Supreme Court declared inviolate (re: you know, supporting that document that Obama (and Sarcastic Sully and Manifesto Maggie) so disdain – the Constitution (and the "…shall not infringe…" part)) but to make it so onerous and expensive so as to make it highly possible to scare off those that otherwise would speak.  AND, (once again) put Conservative donors into the same risk pool that the Gary Agenda Supporters did to the California Proposition 8 supporters (got them fired, harassed them at work, businesses closed, and otherwise targeted for real hateful activities).  Chicago thuggery applied to political speech opposite their agenda and ideology.

And CERTAINLY, the Prop 8 opponents went off on the Mormon and Catholic churches ("those haters!") simply for their standing up for their theological stances for "one man, one woman" traditional marriage.  Just puts their whole roll off kilter, that some people actually believe in absolute values and won’t kowtow to their pop culture Political Correctness Castration (I’m going to start using Joe the Plumber’s definition – it is more to the point and intent of what those who spout the political correctness mantra).

Sidebar: Think I’m kidding?  Kathy Sullivan just got humiliated AGAIN when the NH AG’s office ruled that just because the National Organization for Marriage and Americans for Job Security were well within their rights to say what they want in the arena of political speech.  The NH Democrat attack dog decided that using the pretext of "that’s doing business, so I’ll start the suing to scare them off / shut them up".  Or, at the very least, make expensive to speak out via legal costs (how lawyerly of her).

It’s time to stop ceding social issues to the Left. 

But back to Dean and TBONH.  I’ve enjoyed Vicki’s coverage of Grafton County Treasurer "No Show" Seivers – the Dartmouth college student whose only claim to fame is:

• winning the election with a simple FaceBook ad (smart on her part)
• Not really putting the effort into carrying out the duties of the office effectively

And that fact, Seiver screwing up, is indefensible by the Blue Bunch.  So, what do they go after?  Vicki’s writing on gay marriage (against it) and the bathroom bill (which would allowed me, on a whim, to use the female bathrooms and locker rooms – as long as I "felt like a woman" at that moment).  You know something?  So what!  But you know Progressives – cross them on anything and they want to do a stomping.

The Progressives have tried to position themselves (and many Republicans, especially those who believe that the "culture stuff" should be immaterial to politics) as the arbiters of culture and are entitled to declare what is the public morality by changing the law.  The Blue Bunch seriously believe that they, and they alone, should be the ones to declare what is permissible (their beliefs) and what is not (ours as Conservatives and Believers). 

And here is the fallacy that they cannot defend:  in trying to "give" freedom to some, they have no problem in taking freedom away from others NOT in their protected Class.  Yet, their second biggest Progressive hero, Woodrow Wilson, was the one that segregated the military again, and was anti-democratic.

And those of us who deeply believe, because of our faith, in traditional marriage are simply demonized and labeled "haters" and "racists" (and more).  Thus,…

Guest post by Andrew Hemingway

There is so much happening in our world today that children and teens in the US really have no chance of keeping up. There is every imaginable toy, song, gadget  you can think of to keep them from the reality that is their life, and when they are not listening to headphones, they are texting their friends. I sound like an old man here. I am on the leading edge of what they call Generation  Y. There is in every society cycles, cycles of good (boomers) and cycles of bad (depression era), but not just in our own history, but in the history of civilization this has been true. Some generations ride on the coat tails of others, and some generations wake up to find themselves having to fight to retain their freedom.

Now, before you turn me off and think this is a young man bemoaning his lot in life- Think Again! My generation is the first generation that will not earn enough to pay for our parent’s entitlements. You see we are unfortunate to have parents in the Boomers. It is mathematically impossible for us to pay for them as the entitlements stand today. We can not pay for it! The upside is that like it or not FINALLY some politicians are going to have to acknowledge this and try to address it. I know you are laughing thinking of all the ways politicians over the years have lightly stepped around this issue leaving it for the next guy, as more and more seniors begin drawing on the system. 

As a member of this special generation, the generation that is being robbed blind. Yes we are being robbed blind! The Federal Government has spent all the money that generations before us could ever earn, and with each new “Fantastic” program they are working on spending all of our money. They are taking from us not just our money, but they are taking our ability to start businesses, and our ability to graduate from college and find jobs, they are taking away from us the most important thing to any Liberty loving society- Freedom. Our government, in the name of “humanity”or being “green” or what ever other reason they can possibly think of are, bill by bill, stealing from us our freedom.

My generation is not graduating from college with high hopes, we are not our starting businesses as generations before us have. We as a generation, and as a country are on the path that only leads to one end- Tyranny. Soon we will not choose a college, or a career they will be chosen for us. And if your grades are not that great you will be sent to work with your hands and others will be chosen to go ahead of you. We are very quickly approaching this.
