Thoughts on those Hate Has No Home Here signs popular with the left. I guess I'm not the only one who sees the message as 'Fuck Conservatives'.
So. I just finished reading more about Comey's testimony. Can not a single person answer the 5 Ws behind how the FBI decided to investigate Trump?
He remembers less about this life defining investigation than I remember the dances from my high school musical.
I once saw a waterspout on Lake Superior. It scared Hell out of me.

If hate has no home there, I should be able to walk right in through your unlocked front door and make myself at home.
Plus, you should make me a sandwich. Otherwise, sign notwithstanding, it feels like you do, in fact, hate me.
In which case, I'm going to have to evict you because sign says haters like you have no home there.

Notwithstanding the ADT Security sign at the front door.
Ellen Burstyn claimed to eat while naked in a mirrored dining room. That seemed weird.
"the ADT Security sign"
How else can I sit down and enjoy that sandwich you made me if I don't feel safe and secure?
Oh and while you're up, could you throw another log on the fire, please? It's a little chilly with that front door wide open and all. Thanks.
I think we should make certain to relocate lots of refugees to the homes with those signs. Make sure they(owners) understand that they must feed, and clothe the new arrivals. Oh, and some 'walking around' money would be nice too. That wouldn't be a problem, would it?
Great photo! It's so symbolic of manmade global warming. Just look at all that oxygenated carbon rising up to join that other even more pernicious greenhouse gas, dihydrogen monoxide.
My last feature film won the Cult Classic award at a film festival last month, and I just now found out that my new one is a semi-finalist in the 'best cast' and 'best writer' categories in another upcoming festival.
I am going to celebrate with a warm cup of tea, and edit a short I am making: a ten-minute retelling of Apocalypse Now told from the point of view of Willard's cat.
It is good to be Laslo.
It is a way to showcase hatred of gay Wayans Bros. in that sketch where simultaneously they say "hated it" 'bout movie show.
They hated that damn sketch, hated it.
According to Drudge, the Oscars still have a problem with regards to finding an alternative host. Obviously, they need to pick an out gay or lesbian. But I think a more bold choice would be an openly trans person, preferably someone who has had the courage to go through surgery. Not sure if Chelsea Manning has enough charisma and stage presence. If they're not willing to going that far they could always just get a crossdresser. White women --still the biggest Oscar cohort -- love Rupaul. He'd be a twofer. Win-win!!
Congrats, Laslo. One day we can say that we knew you when you were just Laslo on Althouse!!
In an effort to learn the lessons of history, I recently read the biography of Lord Curzon. I didn't get much from the book. If you wish to marry a beautiful American heiress--at least in the late 19th century--it really gives you a leg up if you have a title and an ancestral estate. His ancestral estate was somewhat better appointed than the palace where he served when he was Viceroy of India. Women notice things like that......Curzon studied hard at Oxford and won some academic prizes This plus, of course, his title qualified him to rule India. India in those days included Pakistan, Burma, and Bangladesh. It was a big deal. He wasn't such a bad Viceroy. He said some insensitive things, but he competently organized famine relief during a drought year and supervised efforts to restore and maintain historical sites such as the Taj Mahal. India has had worse rulers......Curzon himself didn't much learn the lessons of history. After WWI and the fall of Imperial Russia, he recommended that Great Britain institute protectorates (i.e. colonies) over some of the Central Asian khanates freed from Czarist rule. He didn't have a clue that the British people no longer wanted an Empire just to toffs like him could be important and marry wealthy heiresses..... All in all I think my time would have been better spent reading Michelle's memoirs.
I read the David Gilmour biography. Then I read the wiki entry on Curzon. According to wiki, Curzon's second wife cheated on him. Not only that, she cheated on him with his son in law. Not only that, his son in law was Oswald Mosely. This was not in the Gilmour biography. I feel cheated.
The definitive biography of Lord Curzon has yet to be written.
For my birthday this year, I answered an advert on Gumtree for a 10-day deluxe vipassana retreat. Here is my diary documenting the experience.

This is a link to the thread and I care very much that you read it and think.
Don Turner reminds us Macron invited all the climate scientists to france, how is that working out.
good photo, Ann: An aging power plant keeping the lights and heat on in the winter, a cloud portrait at dusk, something small and sputtering away into insignificance. The artist doesn't control what effect she makes.
One little anecdote Ann has got to be ignoring severely is the Russian NRA agent maria Butina who is now going to cooperate with the FBI. Good grief, but maybe you guys think it's OK for the Russians to use the NRA as a propaganda tool. In fact it's clear that it's Ok for his supporters that the president himself is the blackmailed victim of Russian state, intelligence, and organized criminal interests.
Come on Ann, I know you find this complete dullsville, but how far is it worth tolerating the chances trump is compromised by Russia, since all he and his pals have done is lie about it?
Surber, Azerbaijan was one of these John Reed died on a train to lead the revolution in Baku, Ukraine folded first
Interesting perspective:

@Meade (6:57), your reasoning seems impeccable.
The curzon was the poland/Ukraine demarcation line.

Congrats Laslo!
Nice linkage Tim. Thanks
What if your name is Hate? It seems kind of hateful to keep him out.
I wonder if Pantomime Princess Margaret is included in the Glimpses.
Amazon says it's #1 in Jazz Musician Biographies. I thought she preferred to perform show tunes.
Rep. Peter King (R-NY) told Fox News this morning that he once respected former FBI Director James Comey, but now believes he’s becoming a “partisan hack.”
King, who was brought on to discuss Comey’s responses to the House Judiciary and Oversight committees on Friday, began by questioning why Comey couldn’t answer certain questions in his testimonies.
“It’s hard to believe that Jim Comey would have forgotten all those different details,” he said. “On the intelligence committee Jim Comey testified before us any number of times. I never recall him not being able to answer a question. He has almost a photographic memory.”
“I don’t want to be judging his motives but I’m very skeptical of that,” King added.
the person 'Meade' posts:

Otherwise, sign notwithstanding, it feels like you do, in fact, hate me. In which case, I'm going to have to evict you because sign says haters like you have no home there.
this person not only identifies himself with hate, but feels sorry for himself and his fellow haters as well. Yes, if you're not hate, you can come in the open door, and welcome, and have a meal. But if you insist on your proclaiming your hatreds, then decent people will resist you.
This is evidently why Ann never answers her locked front door.
Not a very good day for wind or solar power.
Hate is a homeless bum, looking for a place to sleep and a handout.
Don't give your spare change to Hate.
Like the Devil, Hate always comes in a disguise.
Usually it looks like a Trump supporter.
"“I don’t want to be judging his motives but I’m very skeptical of that,” King added."
I have no trouble judging his motives.
From reading the MSM:
Trump is finished. Mueller has him. Impeachment? Just around the corner. Russia collusion/Cohen crimes. Its all over.
Its all over guys. I mean, the MSM has never been wrong before.
'Game over man,...we are toast' how often have they enunciated that.
"Thoughts on those Hate Has No Home Here signs popular with the left. I guess I'm not the only one who sees the message as 'Fuck Conservatives'."
"Hate" is a chimera. It is little more than a gussied up version of the ad hominem attack. Whether or not someone is motivated by hate, love, or indifference is meaningless as to whether or not any argument they advance or any policy they advocate is correct or incorrect, right or wrong, logical or illogical.
Among political speech, I think there is a very basic metric for the different between legitimacy or illegitimacy: the advocacy of violence. Violence against (primarily civilian) citizens of a population for the purpose of political change is a basic definition of terrorism. Any political advocacy that does not incite its constituents to violence is legitimate. And labeling some advocacy as so called "hate speech" is merely an attempt to register one's visceral disgust with its ideas.
The purpose of terms like "hate speech" and constant allusions to fascism and the atrocities of the Third Reich is to convince people that certain ideas and policies must inexorably lead to cattle cars and gas chambers. Look at the hysterical reactions to a relatively innocuous figure like Jordan Peterson. I am not particularly impressed with Peterson but notions that he is advocating fascism or white supremacism are absurd. So devoid is genuine "hate" from most people's lives that they have resorted to inventing new forms of "hate" (i.e. microaggressions) by which they can feel victimized.
HI!!! Brand New Cope Land. I, Captain Cope, give Keven a segment to break down the Ohio State Buckeyes. Can Keven cope with the time constraint? Ok. More Cope Land very soon, here is Keven with the coping skills. LATER
Hello again, one last one for tonight before I go make new content. This is my movie review of, "The Godfather," with a particular eye for the humor. Ok, fam, here is "The Godfather," by me. later.
Princess Margaret certainly loved being difficult. But the recommended book goes swimmingly. The Audible reader has a wonderfully English accent and inflection. Thanks for sharing the pleasure with us
Hate Has No Home Here>>>>>
Does that mean they don't hate Injustice .
Morality requires abjuring the wrong.
English is not my first language but it's the only language I can claim some facility for concept expression.
All credit and gratitude to Ayn Rand.
By the way I would ask them if they love broccoli, other things you can think of anything to stump.
I've seen sign saying
"I believe in science" but not the other.
Anybody seen both displayed together?
@J. Farmer Excellent.
Any political advocacy that does not incite its constituents to violence is legitimate.
You're making me melt by excusing wrongspeech.

Exactly!
The bigger issue that I see is that the Left has given itself the moral authority to determine what words and actions constitute hate and phobias. Controlling the language is a precursor to controlling the people.
