I am not who you think I am
by Isthmus Madeleine

I am far superior to any of those that has come before me as well as those that choose to follow.

I am a registered Democrat that has never voted because that would mean making myself a victim by allowing others to decide for me. I have come to my ideas by acknowledging Adam Smith wrote a book or two and that Ayn Rand was the original cougar. The free market is the only market and no man (or to a lesser extent woman or man of color since they haven't proved themselves above the self-imposed chains of Affirmative Action and victimhood) shall take its ideas in vain.

I offer only knowledge and truth, no matter how inane it may seem to you. Inanity is only in your mind since you are not elevated enough to comprehend the genius that is I. I will not repeat myself so you better get it the first time or you will be lost forever until the next time I deign to speak out. And each time I speak out, I will offer some new and exciting so you better get it because I will not repeat myself.

I believe in the rights of the individual. Mainly this individual right here (thumbs pointed inward) and all individuals that look, act, and talk exactly like me. Affirmative Action is only a way to keep people from being more like me since I have not had any help from the government to get where I am today. Not as I served in the military, not as I went to school on the GI Bill, not as I claimed my rightful job owed to me by the government after a long and tedious letter writing campaign. I am of Hispanic/African decent but you will never ever hear say that unless you accuse me of being a white supremacist (I am an individual supremacist, thank you). I am married and unmarried to large menagerie of faiths and ethnicities but I will never ever use their personal journeys of success unless you say something about me not liking people of differenting ethnicity and faith. I love them all and they were the ones to divorce me, not me them. I believe they were lesbians.

So, as for the shooting of an individual guard by an individual at the Holocaust Museum. these individuals were both made victims by the fact that people wish to wallow in their victimhood. The Holocaust happened so long ago. So very long ago, and while anti-Semitism is still very much a part of life and will most likely be very much a part of any reply I receive from any of you, I feel that a museum commemorating victimhood is asking to victimized. The world cannot reach my level of intellect and smugarity if they keep on reminding themselves as victims.

I was raised a poor banker's son where I had to share a guest house with a nanny and my brother. I am not complaining. You should stop now as well.

Wow! A "poor banker's son". Does such a thing exist? And sharing a guest house with a nanny? So terribly impoverished.

Where can I send you some canned goods?

Rarely have I heard a more self absorbed, self rightous load of crap.

But evil forces are always around, playing the victim is not necessarily the core of the problem,... From my viewpoint ..a chore of necessity -- is the awareness and acknowledgemet of evil forces committing immoral acts, while keeping the definition between good and evil intact.

Victims and the victimizers who victimize victims
by Isthmus Madeleine

Evil is banal. Your response is banal. Therefore, your response is evil.

By playing the victim, victims are only allowing the victimizers to see them as victims and never as not victims. That is what happens when you play the victim. As everyone but me plays the victim by blaming the whole world for their victimization.

But if I blame the victim then I am also a victimizer and that is not who I am. I told you already who I am. I am someone who doesn't blame the world even though i really could since I was raised on a trust fund based on the profits of a diamondmining operation in Northern Africa. My way of life has almost been destroyed by the blood diamond label. Luckily, there are people in the world, especially in the North African diamond fields, who do not see victims. They see opportunity. And profit. That is what the world needs to see. Not good and evil. But Opportunity and victimhood. Opportunity as in the free market. Victimhood as in whining about blood diamonds. The literal free market has no room for metaphorical blood.

Listen..I don't play the victim.. My actions and decisions are solely mine, so I am accountable for my own actions or inaction.

You have a gripe .. regarding decisions made by those in charge of your assets... well don't become a victim.. show the world you are a survivor..opportunity knocks for all of us..being a victim can be viewed many ways.. one can be a victim of failure or a victim of success..

If it so demeaning having your way of life changed... don't disregard your own abilities and make your own opportunities..

Perish the thought any of us overlooks the difference between right and wrong...-- that's how we stay civilized.

Gats parody of Island Muffin with Colbert twist, who was invention to attack Bill O’Reilly (Bill is the most popular newscaster on cable, though Beck may surpass him soon.) Likewise, Island Muffin is not who you think she is. She is a parody, attacking Rosie O’Donnell.

An Isthmus is a narrow strip of land connecting two larger land areas. So Isthmus connects Gat to the Island.

A Madeleine is a traditional sweet from France, which she considers superior to a Muffin.

WE do, however, appreciate theIsthmus Islandand “Madeleine Muffin” concoctions. Most importantly, parodies for and by Island Muffin, proves the correctness of Island Muffin.

We are cross between a woman of color and vanilla white women. We are Indian, not a Hindu, but a lower caste Muslim. We are cougars: Let us roar!

Muslims dont have castes. That's why they were successful in converting many Hindus to Islam in India a few centuries ago.

As for being a victim, if someone murders you you are the victim, the person doing the murdering is the perp.

Wiki: The Sachar Committee's report commissioned by the government of India and released in 2006, documents the continued stratification in Muslim society:

Among Muslims, those who are referred to as Ashrafs are presumed to have a superior status derived from their foreign Arab ancestry, while the Ajlafs are assumed to be converts from Hinduism, and have a lower status. In addition, there is also the Arzal caste among Muslims, who were regarded by anti-caste activists like Babasaheb Ambedkar as the equivalent of untouchables. In the Bengal region of India, some Muslims also stratify their society according to 'Quoms'. While some scholars have asserted that the Muslim Castes are not as acute in their discrimination as that among Hindus, Ambedkar argued otherwise, writing that the social evils in Muslim society were "worse than those seen in Hindu society".
