When the Serpent wanted to corrupt mankind, he did not approach Adam — perhaps fearing he would have his tush handed to him (proof of his cowardice, as serpents do not even have tushes). Whatever the Serpent's reason, he decided to aim his lies at Eve instead, and he got what he was after.

"Don't believe what God said," that slime-bag told her. "You will not die, but rather be as gods."

The con worked, because women tend to be more emotional and feelings-oriented, as well as being much easier to sell on image over substance. (Glance over at the Oval Office for evidence of this — Oprah is in no small way responsible for Obama.)

Nothing's changed. Women are just as stupid today. Consider what Mike Adams writes in his latest column:

"Feminists applaud, rather than treat [psychiatrically], trans-genders who go to the extreme of permanently mutilating their genitals. And they do so in the name of gender equality. It’s almost as bad as applauding the dismemberment of children in the name of sexual liberation."

That is right on the money. Western women are the ones who have been stupid enough to buy Satan's lies about abortion (the murder of infants) and gender "equality" (the destruction of the home). Normally, women are supposed to be fiercely protective of children and also the keepers of the home.

But men have fecklessly and lazily permitted these perversions. And so here we are.

Feminism is proof that women are still idiotically buying the bill of goods they were first sold at the genesis of history, and that men are still spinelessly going along instead of saying: "Woman, don't be a moron! We're not killing our children, and I'm going to be the papa, and you're going to be the mama. End of story."

This is what Sean Penn said at that silly movie-awards ceremony: I think that it is a good time for those who voted for the ban against gay marriage to sit and reflect and anticipate their great shame and the shame in their grandchildren's eyes if they continue that way of support. We've got to have equal rights for everyone.

Thank you, Sean Penn, for the sanctimonious lecture.

Yes, I oppose so-called homosexual “marriages.” Yes, I supported — and still support — Proposition 8.

Still, I think I’ll retain the right to decide for myself what I should and should not be ashamed of, and what my children and grandchildren will learn and cleave to. Thanks. In any case, as concerns virtue and personal morality, I will not be needing — or heeding — the counsel of some Hollywood player with a record of drunkenness and hooliganism, who has been divorced and remarried, has fathered children out of wedlock and committed adultery, and who evidently approves of all manner of sexual libertinism in the lives of others as well.

I am content with my own "unevolved" family values, based in my own traditions and Christian beliefs. These continue to work for me, my household and the community of which I have chosen to be a part. I will hold to these, and Mr. Missionary Penn is welcome to take his post-modernist, "post-Christian," metro-lib version of the White-man’s burden somewhere else.

But given that Penn is so flush with self-satisfaction at having played that great martyr, Harvey Milk — OK, I'll  join him in one song: Anybody here seen our old friends Abraham, Martin and John — and Harvey?

This, by Devlin Barrett, on Townhall.com:

Eric Holder, the nation's first black attorney general, said Wednesday the United States was "a nation of cowards" on matters of race, with most Americans avoiding candid discussions of racial issues. In a speech to Justice Department employees marking Black History Month, Holder said the workplace is largely integrated but Americans still self-segregate on the weekends and in their private lives.

"Though this nation has proudly thought of itself as an ethnic melting pot, in things racial we have always been and I believe continue to be, in too many ways, essentially a nation of cowards," Holder said.

The following, from me:

Hey, Mr. Holder:

With all due respect — do you even know what you're talking about?

I doubt it.

Please do the nation this courtesy: Spare us any more inane non sequiturs. Please. How heart-stoppingly STUPID.

Stop it.

"Cowards"? Because we do not talk enough about "race"? Or as much as YOU think we should about it?

Mr. Holder, that is ALL we talk about in this country anymore — when we are not talking about sex — and we serve it up boiled, mashed, stewed, and smothered in onions.

We are FORCED to obsess over "race" endlessly, because the race/grievance/victimization merchants, of which you are certainly one, will not let us think about anything else.

Do you refuse to let us go, Mr. Pharaoh?

Listen to me: The blacks in this country have it FAR, FAR BETTER than blacks anywhere else in the world. And you may not know this, but African slavery has long been abolished in our 50 states, the Jim Crow era is over and finished, we have affirmative action enacted and enshrined from sea to shining sea, and we are prohibited by law in this land to discriminate against blacks or even to say anything "mean" about them. Right?

Anyone who does not like it here is always welcome to leave. I notice they stay.

What in Reason's name are you talking about Mr. Holder?

Speak for yourself, Mr. Holder. You do NOT speak for me or my household. The man writing these words is no "coward" — not about "race," anyway, which I would not even think about if you would just quit dealing that particular drug.

In the Name of Heaven, Mr. Holder, you and all who "think" like you:

SHUT UP ABOUT IT ALREADY!

Townhall.com columnist Doug Giles reports about the harassment some Christian churches are suffering at the hands of homosexual groups infuriated over Proposition 8. Members of a group — read “gang” — called Bash Back entered the Mount Hope Church, in Lansing, Mich., last Sunday and engaged in quite a bit of extremely malicious conduct. Giles writes:

These winners entered the church along with worshippers and surprised the congregation when they stood up during the service, threw fliers and condoms at the congregants, pulled the fire alarm, made out in front of the church by the pulpit and shouted slogans such as "Jesus was a homo.” No arrests were made.

Filthy savages.

Let them try that stuff at my place of worship while I'm present. They'll never try it again. And there WILL be an arrest made: my own.

I expect occurrences of this kind to increase, because these reptiles fancy themselves the reincarnations of Martin Luther King and Gandhi. Pathetic.

The temptation to build a national "movement" on harassment as a form of political "statement" or “protest” will be too great for these curs to resist. How is it that they will menace innocent people this way and then demand respect? Do they expect us to take them seriously? For what? For perpetrating the very acts of brutality of which they falsely accuse others? Philistines.

They demand the right to “marry.” By what standard? By whose? The condemnation of the Judeo-Christian scriptures is unmistakably clear. The Constitution is properly silent on the matter. By what authority, then, do they shriek? Marriage is no human “right.” It is a sacred “rite.” It is within the purview of the church, not the state. And heterosexuals have done more than enough violence to this divine institution as it is. No further abominations are needed.

Bigotry? Yeah. It begins with these “gay activists.”

Intolerance? Nobody does it better.

Hate? Watch and learn.

Violence? Let's go to the videotape.
