It’s Monday, August 26th, 2019…and here’s a somewhat abbreviated edition of The Gouge!

First up, courtesy of Townhall.com, Derek Hunter suggests, when haters choose to hate, they’re reserving for themselves…

A Special Place In Hell

 

“I’m generally not someone who views my political opponents as evil. After all, my best friend is a raging liberal, though he’s now a doctor who is not active in politics and has mellowed with age. But lately leftists have gotten so unhinged, gotten so nasty, that I don’t see any way I could even stand to be in the same room with them. The way they act now is like someone trying to make sure they reserve a first-class suite in Hell.

Trump Derangement Syndrome has done something to people who were always teetering on the edge of sanity. It hasn’t just pushed them over that edge, they’ve cannonballed into the deep end of insanity and are embracing it. And insanity, left unchecked and encouraged by pop culture and media, leads to evil

When billionaire industrialist and philanthropist David Koch died Friday, these people couldn’t contain their joy….What had to happen in someone’s life to cheer the passing of a man they’d never met…It’s easy to say these people are stupid, but stupid people don’t commit stupid acts deliberately, they simply don’t know any better. These people know better.

It’s not just the glee over the death of the media-created caricature of David Koch that has these people embracing evil, if someone is determined to be existing wrong in their eyes, even someone on their own team, that person will feel their wrath. No matter how temporary or inane that “slight” is.

Karamo Brown is one of the stars of the new “Queer Eye” and a member of the new cast on “Dancing with the Stars.” Former White House press secretary Sean Spicer is also on the new season of DWTS. Excited about his new job, Brown made the mistake of talking with Spicer and not hating him, calling Sean a “good guy.” He might as well have announced he was voting for Trump. 

The gay black man went from one of the gang to pariah in the blink of an eye.

Normally harassing two gay men would be met with charges of homophobia, but the people who’d make that charge were the ones engaging in it, so

The progressive purity police enforcing “correct-think” make the Nazi Nuremberg Laws on racial purity seem like subtle suggestions

These are but two examples of the thousands of manifestations of the searing hatred that drives everything leftists do, and every word they speak. They will not rest until everyone not as “pure” as they are is either dead or afraid to speak. And after that rest, they’ll go after those who are afraid to speak. Progressives, as the 20th century has now, love purges

President Ronald Reagan is reported to have said, “The person who agrees with you 80 percent of the time is a friend and an ally, not a 20 percent traitor.” To the modern left, someone who agrees with them 99.99 percent of the time is their complete enemy. Anyone more “impure” than that .01 percent is fair game for destruction at any time. If there is a better word for that than “evil,” I haven’t found it.

Speaking of “Hell”, here’s this morning’s edition of the Religion Section, courtesy of a very gullible Jesuit:

Jesuit Superior General: The Devil Is A ‘Symbol,’ Not A Person

It is a way of evil to be present in human life

 

It’s just as Keyser Söze, aka Verbal Kin, noted in The Usual Suspects:

Father Arturo Sosa (no relation to either Keyser or Sammy) simply fell for it.

Since we’re on the subject of those who believe they’ve successfully pulled a fast one, in the EnvironMental Moment, writing at his Morning Jolt, Jim Geraghty notes a curious dichotomy betwixt…

Climate-Change-Focused Politicians Paying Top Dollar for Oceanfront Property

 

Former president Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle, are reportedly looking at buying a $14.85 million dollar mansion on Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts. The estate overlooks the coastal Edgartown Great Pond. “A thin strip of beach called a ‘barrier beach’ separates the shoreline of the Pond from the Atlantic Ocean.  Four times a year the narrowest portion of the barrier beach is cut open to the Atlantic Ocean.”

Former vice president Joe Biden “purchased a $2.7 million, 4,800-square-foot vacation house near the water in Rehoboth Beach, Del., to go along with his primary residence.”

John Delaney also has a waterfront home in Rohobeth Beach.

Do these seem like people concerned about rising sea levels and more intense hurricanes driven by climate change?…”

No hypocrisy to see here, folks…please move along!!!

Which brings us, inappropriately enough, to The Lighter Side:, 

Finally, we’ll call it a day with News of the Bizarre, and the rather unusual experience of an unfortunate Oregon woman:

Woman rescued from septic tank after being trapped in raw sewage for days

 

“…The unidentified woman had been working on the tank outside her rural home, where she lived alone, when she fell in, investigators said. Her closest neighbor was over a thousand feet away, fire officials said, rendering her cries for help hopeless.

…the woman’s daughter went to check on her after not hearing from her mother since Friday. The concerned daughter found her mother had fallen through a hole in the ground and into the tank.

a hole had been dug in the ground exposing the tank, which had a 2-foot by 2-foot hole through its rusted metal top, the station reported. Firefighters used poles and a strap to hoist the woman out of the sewage and through the hole…”

Rescue personnel estimated the unidentified woman had been stuck in the tank up to her ears in human waste for 2-3 days…2-3 days!  Heck, compared to her, Andy Dufresne’s escape… 

…was a sweet-smelling cakewalk…er,…crawl.
