ScienceBlogs Book Club: Inside the Outbreaks

Respectful Insolence

"A statement of fact cannot be insolent." The miscellaneous ramblings of a surgeon/scientist on medicine, quackery, science, pseudoscience, history, and pseudohistory (and anything else that interests him)

Who (or what) is Orac?

orac.jpg Orac is the nom de blog of a (not so) humble pseudonymous surgeon/scientist with an ego just big enough to delude himself that someone, somewhere might actually give a rodent's posterior about his miscellaneous verbal meanderings, but just barely small enough to admit to himself that few will. (Continued here, along with a DISCLAIMER that you should read before reading any medical discussions here.)

Orac's old Blog is archived at Archived Insolence.

Santa Claus a fascist? Say it ain't so!

Category: Humor
Posted on: December 25, 2009 12:00 AM, by Orac

With Santa beginning his journey through the world to deliver presents to all the good boys and girls, someone sent me a profoundly disturbing video:

I knew it! I knew it! Santa gives away things; so he must be a liberal. But if you listen to Jonah Goldberg, Glenn Beck, and Rush Limbaugh, you know that liberals are all fascists at heart. So it only follows that Santa must be a fascist!

It's so obvious!

So is saying Merry Christmas to all also fascist? Who cares? Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Merry Christmas to you. Thanks for another year of superb insolence.

Fascist? They keep using that word. I do not think it means what they think it means.

Considering that vast forced labour camp that he ran at the North Pole for elves making toys, what else could he be but a fascist?

Merry Christmas is a socialist codeword for Sieg Heil.

Well, I think technically liberals are called fascists by the VRWC because they give other peoples' stuff (usually money money) away. Since Santa is giving away toys that are made in his workshop he isn't a liberal (necessarily) or a fascist. Now, whether he is a slaver is a different question.

And a Happy Christmas to All, and to all a good night!

He sees you when you're sleeping, he knows when you're awake. Obviously a totalitarian surveillance state.

@ Greg Fish: It means _exactly_ what they think it means. That is, the rich guys (Goldman-Sachs, George Soros, Dee-fense corntractors, etc.) still get to make money, but only in partnership with the State, and the poor guys stay in their place, because actual conflict between the classes would disrupt things too much. Sorta like what the O-hole and his bi-coastal-elite buddies and fellow Chicago criminals have in mind for us.

The Truth is always A Much Better Future than that money ideal, God's
'IT' Hobby That gives me no idea, whatsoever that I can feel like being against myself being 'just' myself, note: Whatever God exists or not, maybe A Fascist, my good news is still a symbol & a repetition of my fact that I do well to 'testify' to being happy to exist as an honest man, i.e. more honesty, more future that only The Corrupt right now get away with the fact that They can't accept, till it's too late, so I can find out & so on, greetings, 'J.A.,' guitartie@yahoo.ie, 'Merry Present
Time' etc.
