Ya think? This gets much <a href=\"http:\/\/wdtprs.com\/blog\/2014\/12\/mit-prof-gruber-of-obamatax-fame-promoted-abortion-for-marginal-children\/\" target=\"_blank\">mileage in the press<\/a> and the liberal politicians are going distance themselves from\u00a0him as if he he were scalding acid. Abortion as eugenics, to be applied to minorities, hmm. That&#8217;s palatable, albeit Ms Sanger was in the camp too I think.\u00a0Regarding Mr Gruber, the outrage is confusing. I mean, here is a guy who admits selling Obamacare on falsehoods. But I mean, why is the right acting all put out? Those lies were not believed by the right, but by the left. Why is the left not outraged that they were sold a bill of goods? Politics remains very confusing for me.<\/p>\n<p>Some <a href=\"http:\/\/www.isegoria.net\/2014\/12\/parenting-and-verbal-intelligence\/\" target=\"_blank\">IQ specialist<\/a> thinks he has evidence that intelligence is not nuture but nature, which will alas irk the (mostly racist) race theorists no end (<a href=\"http:\/\/voxday.blogspot.com\/2014\/12\/iq-is-real-and-reliable.html\" target=\"_blank\">see this too<\/a>). So, if it comes out that intelligence (and therefore success in school) are due to nature not nurture, can we stop with the stupidly high inheritance taxes that the left thinks are necessary to stop the &#8220;rich&#8221; from having unfair advantages?<\/p>\n<p>I wonder what <a href=\"http:\/\/borepatch.blogspot.com\/2014\/12\/minards-graphic-map.html\" target=\"_blank\">this sort of graph but instead for the WWII Germany\/Soviet E<\/a>astern front wars\u00a0would look like. It would be appalling I think. Appropos of that and in the discussion which mention Napoleon&#8217;s final defeat at Waterloo. But like most of the Western canonical history forget that Russian led armies sacked Paris in 1814. The same poster (rightly) <a href=\"http:\/\/borepatch.blogspot.com\/2014\/12\/tramautized-delicate-flowers.html\" target=\"_blank\">mocks those college students of today<\/a> who are so so so ignorant of history it seems.<\/p>\n<p>Regarding Ms Feinstein and her &#8220;release&#8221; of CIA investigations on torture. The left&#8217;s thesis (which is badly flawed) is (a suggested thesis of her report) is that torture doesn&#8217;t work, ergo we shouldn&#8217;t do it. Actually historically it seems very very likely that when done efficiently with an understanding of what you are up to, it works and works very well. See Mr Fernandez excellent book \u00a0<em>No Way In<\/em> (or read about the Gestapo and well, anywhere they operated). Look. Every single time a resistance cell loses a member to the torture using establishment everyone has to find a new safe houses, move and so on. Why? This wouldn&#8217;t be so if torture was ineffective. But. It is. The argument against\u00a0torture is not that it isn&#8217;t effective or cost effective but that is immoral. It is wrong. That is the only argument needed or which should be used against it.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So, Dr Gruber, not a politician. Ya think?
