Ethics Hipsters are the new Puritans | Fox News
Ethics Hipsters are the new Puritans | Fox News:
"What you're seeing is the rise of the ethics hipster - a term coined by King Buzzo of the Melvins. An ethics hipster is a tool who pretends to salute the idea of free expression, but will happily try to censor you if your expression runs counter to their rigid, narrow and wholly predictable assumptions about life. The old prudes are the new crusaders.
Do you think for a moment, if they had actual power, that they wouldn't try to censor you completely? Of course they would! Give them time. "

Study: Beer is a Better Pain Reliever Than Tylenol | VinePair
Study: Beer is a Better Pain Reliever Than Tylenol | VinePair:"Beer is fun, but it can also make you feel better.
A new study from the University of Greenwich found that three or four beers can ease your pain better than some over the counter painkillers.
The study found that when a person brings their blood alcohol content to the legal limit of .08 percent, that person’s pain threshold is elevated.
The researchers concluded from their study that “alcohol is an effective analgesic (pain reliever) that delivers clinically-relevant reductions in ratings of pain intensity.”
The head of the study, Dr. Trevor Thompson, told The Sun that the pain relieving power of alcohol “is more powerful than paracetamol.”

BUSTED: Government Workers Sold IDs to Illegal Aliens for Voter Fraud | The Sean Hannity Show:
"Corrupt government workers in Massachusetts were busted by the FBI earlier this week for selling state-issued driver’s licenses to illegal aliens, many of which were later used to vote in the greater Boston metropolitan area.
According to Judicial Watch, the Department of Justice confirmed the sale of the driver’s licenses to undocumented individuals throughout New England, adding that the false identities and addresses were used to vote in recent elections."

The airline, however, can find no evidence that the conversation actually happened in real life, and are disputing the account....
Yet their positions on all matters rival the intolerance of an 18th century Puritan. They are the 2017 version of that sitcom staple nosy neighbor, or the old man shaking a rake at a passing car..."

- An Austin Texas psyche rock band, Dream Machine, is deported from its label because its lead singer, a refugee from Bosnia, makes supportive remarks about legal immigration. (Here is a link to an interview I did with the band: https://vimeo.com/225709341)
- Feminist critics attack the movie "Dunkirk," an historical reenactment of the World War 2 evacuation, because well—It was the first time there were no women on a French beach.
- Outcry erupts when a Broadway play tries to substitute theater legend Mandy Patinkin for a black actor in a play, to help save the play from closing due to declining ticket sales. Unable to hide the fact that he is white, Patinkin and the producers back down like good fearful liberals; the play - which features a diversity of talent - is now in jeopardy as ticket sales continue to drop.
- Leftwing madwoman Lena Dunham hears voices -- specifically, a conversation between flight attendants over their opinion on trans issues - and instead of confronting them, she narcs on them to their bosses. Like a paranoid member of some sort of regressive left secret police, she seeks to punish strangers over an unacceptable conversation she claims to have heard in her head.
The airline, however, can find no evidence that the conversation actually happened in real life, and are disputing the account....
What do all of these examples have in common?
Who are these people behind these destructive idiocies?
All of these outraged moralists - the record label owner, the women's magazine editor, the hackneyed progressive performer - fashions themselves a hipster, a person of noted cool. Yet their positions on all matters rival the intolerance of an 18th century Puritan. They are the 2017 version of that sitcom staple nosy neighbor, or the old man shaking a rake at a passing car..."
