Now Cuba’s Fine. Thanks for Letting Us Know.

Jeb Bush is a generation out of date. Last night, the DC pundits were virtually unanimous in agreeing that Marco Rubio is done. He isn’t. For more than 50 years, leftists in the U.S. have been apologizing for and promoting Cuba. They’re all crazy — from Michael Moore to dozens of other Hollywood types who thought Cuban cigars offered by Fidel were more attractive than human and civil and economic rights for thousands of Cubans who starve and suffer and languish in prison and sometimes die for North Korean style government.

Wrote about it, oh, close to 30 years ago.

It would be funny if it weren’t so pitiful. Read, if you can, the internal irony of this screed from a moron professor at the University of Michigan.

A University of Michigan department chairwoman has published an article titled, “It’s Okay To Hate Republicans,” which will probably make all of her conservative students feel really comfortable and totally certain that they’re being graded fairly.

“I hate Republicans,” communications department chairwoman and professor Susan J. Douglas boldly declares in the opening of the piece. “I can’t stand the thought of having to spend the next two years watching Mitch McConnell, John Boehner, Ted Cruz, Darrell Issa or any of the legions of other blowhards denying climate change, thwarting immigration reform or championing fetal ‘personhood.’”

She writes that although the fact that her “tendency is to blame the Republicans . . . may seem biased,” historical and psychological research back her up, and so it’s basically actually a fact that Republicans are bad!

Douglas said that in the 1970s she did work for a Republican, Rhode Island’s senate minority leader Fred Lippitt, but she hates them all now because Lippitt was a “brand of Republican” who no longer exists in that he was “fiscally conservative but progressive about women’s rights, racial justice and environmental preservation.”

Republicans now, she writes, are focused on the “determined vilification” of others, and have “crafted a political identity that rests on a complete repudiation of the idea that the opposing party and its followers have any legitimacy at all.”

[Apparently, the irony of this accusation given the content of her own article was lost on her.]

Douglas adds that Republicans are really good at being mean because studies have proven that they usually have psychological traits such as “dogmatism, rigidity and intolerance of ambiguity,” and that “two core dimensions of conservative thought are resistance to change and support for inequality.”

“These, in turn, are core elements of social intolerance . . . which could certainly lead to a desire to deride those not like you — whether people of color, LGBT people or Democrats.”

“So now we hate them back,” she explains. “And with good reason.”

U of M’s anti-discrimination policy forbids “creating an intimidating, hostile, offensive, or abusive environment for that individual’s employment, education, living environment, or participation in a University activity.”

It seems as though, for a student who votes Republican, knowing you had a teacher who assumed you were an intolerant bigot and blatantly advocated for hating you would likely create an “intimidating” educational environment…

Oh forget it. Hypocrisy and idiotic irony cubed.

It’s possible we’re looking at the Revolution of 2016. It will be 240 years even. Both major parties may fracture. Both parties have an establishment group who are reasserting the smoke-filled rooms of the 19th century. But it’s not the 19th century.

Why Jeb is an anachronism. He thinks he can ascend to a throne. Because Bush. If true, end of what he purports to believe in. If not true, a revitalization of what he purports to believe in. Withdraw, son. Prove yourself a statesman.

    This is a nightmare. The GOP is more concerned about attacking Ted Cruz than fighting Obama and Jeb Bush is being anointed as the 2016 candidate. WTF?

    Speaking of hypocrisy, you may have missed a few headlines with the warriors for free speech. First is the Seth Rogan movie about interviewing Kim Jong Un. It’s being yanked out of theaters b/c of a terrorist threat…from North Korea? Hollywood and internet lefties are really upset about that. The other is the upcoming release of a video game called “Hatred” that allegedly lets you act out something like Sandy Hook or Columbine. The company Valve banned it from their digital platform called Steam, but put it back 24 hours later because censorship bad, you know, and they sell lots of violent games so what’s the difference?

    All these people are the same ones who wouldn’t dare show a cartoon of Muhammad. Movies and TV shows won’t even show muslims as bad guys, despite all the evil, fucked up shit they continue to do in Obama’s sixth year. Not that leftists care about that, either. They are only upset that the casting in the new Moses movie has too many white people, which is racist. If these people hate themselves so much, why won’t they just commit suicide? Why do they have to make everyone else miserable, too?
