Yeah ok, I'm way behind the times but this is exciting. I've got quivers running up my leg!

We don't need Palin later, We need her now dammit!

2009-07-06T22:41:00.003-06:00

I love the American Thinker, it's usually right. Unfortunately. Sarah Palin biding her time (unintentionally) sounds great. Only, we need her now! Before things get really, really, bad. I mean Stalinist bad.
This one's for Mrs. Palin:

These are depressing days for Conservatives. The good old U.S. of A is being taken over by a communist sleeper cell while our "conservative" Prime Minister lines up behind the big O like a preprogrammed clone of his former self. It seems like everybody in your life is a perfect facsimile of excactly the type of drone our media is trying to create through selective reporting. I can have conversations with very few people without hearing the usual repetitive Canadian dogmas about Cheney hunting accidents, Obama's orgasmic personality, Bush as a moron, and global warming as a perfectly established scientific truth. Hell, even Steyn seems to be losing patience, replacing his humour with anger. His frustrations perfectly mirroring those of his most dedicated readers just as he always put into words the thoughts and feelings of those same readers for so many years.
But this old world keeps turning, people keep believing whatever they are told by the best looking, the funniest, those that offer the easiest way out and I've still got my own little world to think about. I find music helpful. Here's a current favourite of mine:

Muslims are Special

2009-05-31T12:31:00.004-06:00

A while back, I was listening to Wild Rose Forum on CBC. The question for callers was, "should muslims in Canada be given special priviliges?" Maybe not that exact wording but that was what they were asking. They had a special guest and bevy of callers asking for "understanding" and similar mushy tripe. Moving on; if I were an Alien from outer space just landed on earth and I read this, I would conclude mulims were a handicapped people in need of much assistance.

I needed a break from blogging. A time to reflect and think about why I blog and how I can blog better. Bullshit, I'm just lazy. But this HRC deally-bobber with Steyn and Levant made me mad enough to try again.

I figured this would be a good way to start again.

Come and get me, cocksuckers.

Homosexual Agenda Wicked
By, Stephen Boissoin

The following is not intended for those who are suffering from an
unwanted sexual identity crisis. For you, I have understanding, care,
compassion and tolerance. I sympathize with you and offer you my love
and fellowship. I prayerfully beseech you to seek help, and I assure you
that your present enslavement to homosexuality can be remedied. Many
outspoken, former homosexuals are free today.
Instead, this is aimed precisely at every individual that in any way
supports the homosexual machine that has been mercilessly gaining ground
in our society since the 1960s. I cannot pity you any longer and remain
inactive. You have caused far too much damage.
My banner has now been raised and war has been declared so as to defend
the precious sanctity of our innocent children and youth, that you so
eagerly toil, day and night, to consume. With me stand the greatest
weapons that you have encountered to date - God and the "Moral
Majority." Know this, we will defeat you, then heal the damage that you
have caused. Modern society has become dispassionate to the cause of
righteousness. Many people are so apathetic and desensitized today that
they cannot even accurately define the term "morality."
The masses have dug in and continue to excuse their failure to stand
against horrendous atrocities such as the aggressive propagation of
homo- and bisexuality. Inexcusable justifications such as, "I'm just not
sure where the truth lies," or "If they don't affect me then I don't
care what they do," abound from the lips of the quantifiable majority.
Face the facts, it is affecting you. Like it or not, every professing
heterosexual is have their future aggressively chopped at the roots.
Edmund Burke's observation that, "All that is required for the triumph
of evil is that good men do nothing," has been confirmed time and time
again. From kindergarten class on, our children, your grandchildren are
being strategically targeted, psychologically abused and brainwashed by
homosexual and pro-homosexual educators.
Our children are being victimized by repugnant and premeditated
strategies, aimed at desensitizing and eventually recruiting our young
into their camps. Think about it, children as young as five and six
years of age are being subjected to psychologically and physiologically
damaging pro-homosexual literature and guidance in the public school
system; all under the fraudulent guise of equal rights.
Your children are being warped into believing that same-sex families are
acceptable; that men kissing men is appropriate.
Your teenagers are being instructed on how to perform so-called safe
same gender oral and anal sex and at the same time being told that it is
normal, natural and even productive. Will your child be the next victim
that tests homosexuality positive?
Come on people, wake up! It's time to stand together and take whatever
steps are necessary to reverse the wickedness that our lethargy has
authorized to spawn. Where homosexuality flourishes, all manner of
wickedness abounds.
Regardless of what you hear, the militant homosexual agenda isn't rooted
in protecting homosexuals from "gay bashing." The agenda is clearly
about homosexual activists that include, teachers, politicians, lawyers,
Supreme Court judges, and God forbid, even so-called ministers, who are
all determined to gain complete equality in our nation and even worse,
our world.
Don't allow yourself to be deceived any longer. These activists are not
morally upright citizens, concerned about the best interests of our
society. They are perverse, self-centered and morally deprived
individuals who are spreading their psychological disease into every
area of our lives. Homosexual rights activists and those that defend
them, are just as immoral as the pedophiles, drug dealers and pimps that
plague our communities.
The homosexual agenda is not gaining ground because it is morally
backed. It is gaining ground simply because you, Mr. and Mrs.
Heterosexual, do nothing to stop it. It is only a matter of time before
some of these morally bankrupt individuals such as those involved with
NAMBLA, the North American Man/Boy Lovers Association, will achieve
their goal to have sexual relations with children and assert that it is
a matter of free choice and claim that we are intolerant bigots not to
accept it.
If you are reading this and think that this is alarmist, then I simply
ask you this: how bad do things have to become before you will get
involved? It's time to start taking back what the enemy has taken from
you. The safety and future of our children is at stake.

The Future Belongs to Islam
Mark Steyn

Sept. 11, 2001, was not "the day everything changed," but the day that revealed how much had already changed. On Sept. 10, how many journalists had the Council of American-Islamic Relations or the Canadian Islamic Congress or the Muslim Council of Britain in their Rolodexes? If you'd said that whether something does or does not cause offence to Muslims would be the early 21st century's principal political dynamic in Denmark, Sweden, the Netherlands, Belgium, France and the United Kingdom, most folks would have thought you were crazy. Yet on that Tuesday morning the top of the iceberg bobbed up and toppled the Twin Towers.
This is about the seven-eighths below the surface -- the larger forces at play in the developed world that have left Europe too enfeebled to resist its remorseless transformation into Eurabia and that call into question the future of much of the rest of the world. The key factors are: demographic decline; the unsustainability of the social democratic state; and civilizational exhaustion.
Let's start with demography, because everything does:
If your school has 200 guys and you're playing a school with 2,000 pupils, it doesn't mean your baseball team is definitely going to lose but it certainly gives the other fellows a big starting advantage. Likewise, if you want to launch a revolution, it's not very likely if you've only got seven revolutionaries. And they're all over 80. But, if you've got two million and seven revolutionaries and they're all under 30 you're in business.
For example, I wonder how many pontificators on the "Middle East peace process" ever run this number:
The median age in the Gaza Strip is 15.8 years.
Once you know that, all the rest is details. If you were a "moderate Palestinian" leader, would you want to try to persuade a nation -- or pseudo-nation -- of unemployed poorly educated teenage boys raised in a UN-supervised European-funded death cult to see sense? Any analysis of the "Palestinian problem" that doesn't take into account the most important determinant on the ground is a waste of time.
Likewise, the salient feature of Europe, Canada, Japan and Russia is that they're running out of babies. What's happening in the developed world is one of the fastest demographic evolutions in history: most of us have seen a gazillion heartwarming ethnic comedies -- My Big Fat Greek Wedding and its ilk -- in which some uptight WASPy type starts dating a gal from a vast loving fecund Mediterranean family, so abundantly endowed with sisters and cousins and uncles that you can barely get in the room. It is, in fact, the inversion of the truth. Greece has a fertility rate hovering just below 1.3 births per couple, which is what demographers call the point of "lowest-low" fertility from which no human society has ever recovered. And Greece's fertility is the healthiest in Mediterranean Europe: Italy has a fertility rate of 1.2, Spain 1.1. Insofar as any citizens of the developed world have "big" families these days, it's the anglo democracies: America's fertility rate is 2.1, New Zealand a little below. Hollywood should be making My Big Fat Uptight Protestant Wedding in which some sad Greek only child marries into a big heartwarming New Zealand family where the spouse actually has a sibling.
As I say, this isn't a projection: it's happening now. There's no need to extrapolate, and if you do it gets a little freaky, but, just for fun, here goes: by 2050, 60 per cent of Italians will have no brothers, no sisters, no cousins, no aunts, no uncles. The big Italian family, with papa pouring the vino and mama spooning out the pasta down an endless table of grandparents and nieces and nephews, will be gone, no more, dead as the dinosaurs. As Noel Coward once remarked in another context, "Funiculi, funicula, funic yourself." By mid-century, Italians will have no choice in the matter.
Experts talk about root causes. But demography is the most basic root of all. A people that won't multiply can't go forth or go anywhere. Those who do will shape the age we live in.
Demographic decline and the unsustainability of the social democratic state are closely related. In America, politicians upset about the federal deficit like to complain that we're piling up debts our children and grandchildren will have to pay off. But in Europe the unaffordable entitlements are in even worse shape: there are no kids or grandkids to stick it to.
You might formulate it like this:
Age + Welfare = Disaster for you;
Youth + Will = Disaster for whoever gets in your way.
By "will," I mean the metaphorical spine of a culture. Africa, to take another example, also has plenty of young people, but it's riddled with AIDS and, for the most part, Africans don't think of themselves as Africans: as we saw in Rwanda, their primary identity is tribal, and most tribes have no global ambitions. Islam, however, has serious global ambitions, and it forms the primal, core identity of most of its adherents -- in the Middle East, South Asia and elsewhere.
Islam has youth and will, Europe has age and welfare.
We are witnessing the end of the late 20th- century progressive welfare democracy. Its fiscal bankruptcy is merely a symptom of a more fundamental bankruptcy: its insufficiency as an animating principle for society. The children and grandchildren of those fascists and republicans who waged a bitter civil war for the future of Spain now shrug when a bunch of foreigners blow up their capital. Too sedated even to sue for terms, they capitulate instantly. Over on the other side of the equation, the modern multicultural state is too watery a concept to bind huge numbers of immigrants to the land of their nominal citizenship. So they look elsewhere and find the jihad. The Western Muslim's pan-Islamic identity is merely the first great cause in a world where globalized pathologies are taking the place of old-school nationalism.
For states in demographic decline with ever more lavish social programs, the question is a simple one: can they get real? Can they grow up before they grow old? If not, then they'll end their days in societies dominated by people with a very different world view.
Which brings us to the third factor -- the enervated state of the Western world, the sense of civilizational ennui, of nations too mired in cultural relativism to understand what's at stake. As it happens, that third point is closely related to the first two. To Americans, it doesn't always seem obvious that there's any connection between the "war on terror" and the so-called "pocketbook issues" of domestic politics. But there is a correlation between the structural weaknesses of the social democratic state and the rise of a globalized Islam. The state has gradually annexed all the responsibilities of adulthood -- health care, child care, care of the elderly -- to the point where it's effectively severed its citizens from humanity's primal instincts, not least the survival instinct. In the American context, the federal "deficit" isn't the problem; it's the government programs that cause the deficit. These programs would still be wrong even if Bill Gates wrote a cheque to cover them each month. They corrode the citizen's sense of self-reliance to a potentially fatal degree. Big government is a national security threat: it increases your vulnerability to threats like Islamism, and makes it less likely you'll be able to summon the will to rebuff it. We should have learned that lesson on Sept. 11, 2001, when big government flopped big-time and the only good news of the day came from the ad hoc citizen militia of Flight 93.
There were two forces at play in the late 20th century: in the Eastern bloc, the collapse of Communism; in the West, the collapse of confidence. One of the most obvious refutations of Francis Fukuyama's famous thesis The End Of History -- written at the victory of liberal pluralist democracy over Soviet Communism -- is that the victors didn't see it as such. Americans -- or at least non-Democrat-voting Americans -- may talk about "winning" the Cold War but the French and the Belgians and Germans and Canadians don't. Very few British do. These are all formal NATO allies -- they were, technically, on the winning side against a horrible tyranny few would wish to live under themselves. In Europe, there was an initial moment of euphoria: it was hard not be moved by the crowds sweeping through the Berlin Wall, especially as so many of them were hot-looking Red babes eager to enjoy a Carlsberg or Stella Artois with even the nerdiest running dog of imperialism. But, when the moment faded, pace Fukuyama, there was no sense on the Continent that our Big Idea had beaten their Big Idea. With the best will in the world, it's hard to credit the citizens of France or Italy as having made any serious contribution to the defeat of Communism. Au contraire, millions of them voted for it, year in, year out. And, with the end of the Soviet existential threat, the enervation of the West only accelerated.
In Thomas P. M. Barnett's book Blueprint For Action, Robert D. Kaplan, a very shrewd observer of global affairs, is quoted referring to the lawless fringes of the map as "Indian territory." It's a droll joke but a misleading one. The difference between the old Indian territory and the new is this: no one had to worry about the Sioux riding down Fifth Avenue. Today, with a few hundred bucks on his ATM card, the fellow from the badlands can be in the heart of the metropolis within hours.
Here's another difference: in the old days, the white man settled the Indian territory. Now the followers of the badland's radical imams settle the metropolis.
And another difference: technology. In the old days, the Injuns had bows and arrows and the cavalry had rifles. In today's Indian territory, countries that can't feed their own people have nuclear weapons.
But beyond that the very phrase "Indian territory" presumes that inevitably these badlands will be brought within the bounds of the ordered world. In fact, a lot of today's "Indian territory" was relatively ordered a generation or two back -- West Africa, Pakistan, Bosnia. Though Eastern Europe and Latin America and parts of Asia are freer now than they were in the seventies, other swaths of the map have spiralled backwards. Which is more likely? That the parts of the world under pressure will turn into post-Communist Poland or post-Communist Yugoslavia? In Europe, the demographic pressures favour the latter.
The enemies we face in the future will look a lot like al-Qaeda: transnational, globalized, locally franchised, extensively outsourced -- but tied together through a powerful identity that leaps frontiers and continents. They won't be nation-states and they'll have no interest in becoming nation-states, though they might use the husks thereof, as they did in Afghanistan and then Somalia. The jihad may be the first, but other transnational deformities will embrace similar techniques. Sept. 10 institutions like the UN and the EU will be unlikely to provide effective responses.
We can argue about what consequences these demographic trends will have, but to say blithely they have none is ridiculous. The basic demography explains, for example, the critical difference between the "war on terror" for Americans and Europeans: in the U.S., the war is something to be fought in the treacherous sands of the Sunni Triangle and the caves of the Hindu Kush; you go to faraway places and kill foreigners. But, in Europe, it's a civil war. Neville Chamberlain dismissed Czechoslovakia as "a faraway country of which we know little." This time round, for much of western Europe it turned out the faraway country of which they knew little was their own.
Four years into the "war on terror," the Bush administration began promoting a new formulation: "the long war." Not a good sign. In a short war, put your money on tanks and bombs. In a long war, the better bet is will and manpower. The longer the long war gets, the harder it will be, because it's a race against time, against lengthening demographic, economic and geopolitical odds. By "demographic," I mean the Muslim world's high birth rate, which by mid-century will give tiny Yemen a higher population than vast empty Russia. By "economic," I mean the perfect storm the Europeans will face within this decade, because their lavish welfare states are unsustainable on their post-Christian birth rates. By "geopolitical," I mean that, if you think the United Nations and other international organizations are antipathetic to America now, wait a few years and see what kind of support you get from a semi-Islamified Europe.
Almost every geopolitical challenge in the years ahead has its roots in demography, but not every demographic crisis will play out the same way. That's what makes doing anything about it even more problematic -- because different countries' reactions to their own particular domestic circumstances are likely to play out in destabilizing ways on the international scene. In Japan, the demographic crisis exists virtually in laboratory conditions -- no complicating factors; in Russia, it will be determined by the country's relationship with a cramped neighbour -- China; and in Europe, the new owners are already in place -- like a tenant with a right-to-buy agreement.
Let's start in the most geriatric jurisdiction on the planet. In Japan, the rising sun has already passed into the next phase of its long sunset: net population loss. 2005 was the first year since records began in which the country had more deaths than births. Japan offers the chance to observe the demographic death spiral in its purest form. It's a country with no immigration, no significant minorities and no desire for any: just the Japanese, aging and dwindling.
At first it doesn't sound too bad: compared with the United States, most advanced societies are very crowded. If you're in a cramped apartment in a noisy congested city, losing a couple hundred thousand seems a fine trade-off. The difficulty, in a modern social democratic state, is managing which people to lose: already, according to the Japan Times, depopulation is "presenting the government with pressing challenges on the social and economic front, including ensuring provision of social security services and securing the labour force." For one thing, the shortage of children has led to a shortage of obstetricians. Why would any talented ambitious med school student want to go into a field in such precipitous decline? As a result, if you live in certain parts of Japan, childbirth is all in the timing. On Oki Island, try to time the contractions for Monday morning. That's when the maternity ward is open -- first day of the week, 10 a.m., when an obstetrician flies in to attend to any pregnant mothers who happen to be around. And at 5.30 p.m. she flies out. So, if you've been careless enough to time your childbirth for Tuesday through Sunday, you'll have to climb into a helicopter and zip off to give birth alone in a strange hospital unsurrounded by tiresome loved ones. Do Lamaze classes on Oki now teach you to time your breathing to the whirring of the chopper blades?
The last local obstetrician left the island in 2006 and the health service isn't expecting any more. Doubtless most of us can recall reading similar stories over the years from remote rural districts in America, Canada, Australia. After all, why would a village of a few hundred people have a great medical system? But Oki has a population of 17,000, and there are still no obstetricians: birthing is a dying business.
So what will happen? There are a couple of scenarios: whatever Japanese feelings on immigration, a country with great infrastructure won't empty out for long, any more than a state-of-the-art factory that goes belly up stays empty for long. At some point, someone else will move in to Japan's plant.
And the alternative? In The Children Of Men, P. D. James' dystopian fantasy about a barren world, there are special dolls for women whose maternal instinct has gone unfulfilled: pretend mothers take their artificial children for walks on the street or to the swings in the park. In Japan, that's no longer the stuff of dystopian fantasy. At the beginning of the century, the country's toy makers noticed they had a problem: toys are for children and Japan doesn't have many. What to do? In 2005, Tomy began marketing a new doll called Yumel -- a baby boy with a range of 1,200 phrases designed to serve as companions for the elderly. He says not just the usual things -- "I wuv you" -- but also asks the questions your grandchildren would ask if you had any: "Why do elephants have long noses?" Yumel joins his friend, the Snuggling Ifbot, a toy designed to have the conversation of a five-year old child which its makers, with the usual Japanese efficiency, have determined is just enough chit-chat to prevent the old folks going senile. It seems an appropriate final comment on the social democratic state: in a childish infantilized self-absorbed society where adults have been stripped of all responsibility, you need never stop playing with toys. We are the children we never had.
And why leave it at that? Is it likely an ever smaller number of young people will want to spend their active years looking after an ever greater number of old people? Or will it be simpler to put all that cutting-edge Japanese technology to good use and take a flier on Mister Roboto and the post-human future? After all, what's easier for the governing class? Weaning a pampered population off the good life and re-teaching them the lost biological impulse or giving the Sony Corporation a licence to become the Cloney Corporation? If you need to justify it to yourself, you'd grab the graphs and say, well, demographic decline is universal. It's like industrialization a couple of centuries back; everyone will get to it eventually, but the first to do so will have huge advantages: the relevant comparison is not with England's early 19th century population surge but with England's Industrial Revolution. In the industrial age, manpower was critical. In the new technological age, manpower will be optional -- and indeed, if most of the available manpower's Muslim, it's actually a disadvantage. As the most advanced society with the most advanced demographic crisis, Japan seems likely to be the first jurisdiction to embrace robots and cloning and embark on the slippery slope to transhumanism.
Demographic origin need not be the final word. In 1775, Benjamin Franklin wrote a letter to Joseph Priestly suggesting a mutual English friend might like to apply his mind to the conundrum the Crown faced:
Britain, at the expense of three millions, has killed 150 Yankees this campaign, which is £20000 a head... During the same time, 60000 children have been born in America. From these data his mathematical head will easily calculate the time and the expense necessary to kill us all.
Obviously, Franklin was oversimplifying. Not every American colonist identified himself as a rebel. After the revolution, there were massive population displacements: as United Empire Loyalists well know, large numbers of New Yorkers left the colony to resettle in what's now Ontario. Some American Negroes were so anxious to remain subjects of King George III they resettled as far as Sierra Leone. For these people, their primary identity was not as American colonists but as British subjects. For others, their new identity as Americans had supplanted their formal allegiance to the Crown. The question for today's Europe is whether the primary identity of their fastest-growing demographic is Muslim or Belgian, Muslim or Dutch, Muslim or French.
That's where civilizational confidence comes in: if "Dutchness" or "Frenchness" seems a weak attenuated thing, then the stronger identity will prevail. One notes other similarities between revolutionary America and contemporary Europe: the United Empire Loyalists were older and wealthier; the rebels were younger and poorer. In the end, the former simply lacked the latter's strength of will.
Europe, like Japan, has catastrophic birth rates and a swollen pampered elderly class determined to live in defiance of economic reality. But the difference is that on the Continent the successor population is already in place and the only question is how bloody the transfer of real estate will be.
If America's "allies" failed to grasp the significance of 9/11, it's because Europe's home-grown terrorism problems had all taken place among notably static populations, such as Ulster and the Basque country. One could make generally safe extrapolations about the likelihood of holding Northern Ireland to what cynical strategists in Her Majesty's Government used to call an "acceptable level of violence." But in the same three decades as Ulster's "Troubles," the hitherto moderate Muslim populations of south Asia were radicalized by a politicized form of Islam; previously formally un-Islamic societies such as Nigeria became semi-Islamist; and large Muslim populations settled in parts of Europe that had little or no experience of mass immigration.
On the Continent and elsewhere in the West, native populations are aging and fading and being supplanted remorselessly by a young Muslim demographic. Time for the obligatory "of courses": of course, not all Muslims are terrorists -- though enough are hot for jihad to provide an impressive support network of mosques from Vienna to Stockholm to Toronto to Seattle. Of course, not all Muslims support terrorists -- though enough of them share their basic objectives(the wish to live under Islamic law in Europe and North America)to function wittingly or otherwise as the "good cop" end of an Islamic good cop/bad cop routine. But, at the very minimum, this fast-moving demographic transformation provides a huge comfort zone for the jihad to move around in. And in a more profound way it rationalizes what would otherwise be the nuttiness of the terrorists' demands. An IRA man blows up a pub in defiance of democratic reality -- because he knows that at the ballot box the Ulster Loyalists win the elections and the Irish Republicans lose. When a European jihadist blows something up, that's not in defiance of democratic reality but merely a portent of democratic reality to come. He's jumping the gun, but in every respect things are moving his way.
You may vaguely remember seeing some flaming cars on the evening news toward the end of 2005. Something going on in France, apparently. Something to do with -- what's the word? -- "youths." When I pointed out the media's strange reluctance to use the M-word vis-à-vis the rioting "youths," I received a ton of emails arguing there's no Islamist component, they're not the madrasa crowd, they may be Muslim but they're secular and Westernized and into drugs and rap and meaningless sex with no emotional commitment, and rioting and looting and torching and trashing, just like any normal healthy Western teenagers. These guys have economic concerns, it's the lack of jobs, it's conditions peculiar to France, etc. As one correspondent wrote, "You right-wing shit-for-brains think everything's about jihad."
Actually, I don't think everything's about jihad. But I do think, as I said, that a good 90 per cent of everything's about demography. Take that media characterization of those French rioters: "youths." What's the salient point about youths? They're youthful. Very few octogenarians want to go torching Renaults every night. It's not easy lobbing a Molotov cocktail into a police station and then hobbling back with your walker across the street before the searing heat of the explosion melts your hip replacement. Civil disobedience is a young man's game.
In June 2006, a 54-year-old Flemish train conductor called Guido Demoor got on the Number 23 bus in Antwerp to go to work. Six -- what's that word again? -- "youths" boarded the bus and commenced intimidating the other riders. There were some 40 passengers aboard. But the "youths" were youthful and the other passengers less so. Nonetheless, Mr. Demoor asked the lads to cut it out and so they turned on him, thumping and kicking him. Of those 40 other passengers, none intervened to help the man under attack. Instead, at the next stop, 30 of the 40 scrammed, leaving Mr. Demoor to be beaten to death. Three "youths" were arrested, and proved to be -- quelle surprise! -- of Moroccan origin. The ringleader escaped and, despite police assurances of complete confidentiality, of those 40 passengers only four came forward to speak to investigators. "You see what happens if you intervene," a fellow rail worker told the Belgian newspaper De Morgen. "If Guido had not opened his mouth he would still be alive."
No, he wouldn't. He would be as dead as those 40 passengers are, as the Belgian state is, keeping his head down, trying not to make eye contact, cowering behind his newspaper in the corner seat and hoping just to be left alone. What future in "their" country do Mr. Demoor's two children have? My mother and grandparents came from Sint-Niklaas, a town I remember well from many childhood visits. When we stayed with great-aunts and other relatives, the upstairs floors of the row houses had no bathrooms, just chamber pots. My sister and I were left to mooch around cobbled streets with our little cousin for hours on end, wandering aimlessly past smoke-wreathed bars and cafes, occasionally buying frites with mayonnaise. With hindsight it seemed as parochially Flemish as could be imagined. Not anymore. The week before Mr. Demoor was murdered in plain sight, bus drivers in Sint-Niklaas walked off the job to protest the thuggery of the -- here it comes again -- "youths." In little more than a generation, a town has been transformed.
Of the ethnic Belgian population, some 17 per cent are under 18 years old. Of the country's Turkish and Moroccan population, 35 per cent are under 18 years old. The "youths" get ever more numerous, the non-youths get older. To avoid the ruthless arithmetic posited by Benjamin Franklin, it is necessary for those "youths" to feel more Belgian. Is that likely? Colonel Gadhafi doesn't think so:
There are signs that Allah will grant Islam victory in Europe -- without swords, without guns, without conquests. The fifty million Muslims of Europe will turn it into a Muslim continent within a few decades.
On Sept. 11, 2001, the American mainland was attacked for the first time since the War of 1812. The perpetrators were foreign -- Saudis and Egyptians. Since 9/11, Europe has seen the London Tube bombings, the French riots, Dutch murders of nationalist politicians. The perpetrators are their own citizens -- British subjects, citoyens de la République française. In Linz, Austria, Muslims are demanding that all female teachers, believers or infidels, wear head scarves in class. The Muslim Council of Britain wants Holocaust Day abolished because it focuses "only" on the Nazis'(alleged)Holocaust of the Jews and not the Israelis' ongoing Holocaust of the Palestinians.
How does the state react? In Seville, King Ferdinand III is no longer patron saint of the annual fiesta because his splendid record in fighting for Spanish independence from the Moors was felt to be insensitive to Muslims. In London, a judge agreed to the removal of Jews and Hindus from a trial jury because the Muslim defendant's counsel argued he couldn't get a fair verdict from them. The Church of England is considering removing St. George as the country's patron saint on the grounds that, according to various Anglican clergy, he's too "militaristic" and "offensive to Muslims." They wish to replace him with St. Alban, and replace St. George's cross on the revamped Union Flag, which would instead show St. Alban's cross as a thin yellow streak.
In a few years, as millions of Muslim teenagers are entering their voting booths, some European countries will not be living formally under sharia, but -- as much as parts of Nigeria, they will have reached an accommodation with their radicalized Islamic compatriots, who like many intolerant types are expert at exploiting the "tolerance" of pluralist societies. In other Continental countries, things are likely to play out in more traditional fashion, though without a significantly different ending. Wherever one's sympathies lie on Islam's multiple battle fronts the fact is the jihad has held out a long time against very tough enemies. If you're not shy about taking on the Israelis and Russians, why wouldn't you fancy your chances against the Belgians and Spaniards?
"We're the ones who will change you," the Norwegian imam Mullah Krekar told the Oslo newspaper Dagbladet in 2006. "Just look at the development within Europe, where the number of Muslims is expanding like mosquitoes. Every Western woman in the EU is producing an average of 1.4 children. Every Muslim woman in the same countries is producing 3.5 children." As he summed it up: "Our way of thinking will prove more powerful than yours."

Why so many weenies?

Small Dead Animals has links to a good one here via The Meatriarchy. Boy, where do they come from? Obviously it would be a crass generalisation to say that people from Toronto are either useless bag of shit b-boy gangsters, terrorists, or little white liberal weiner brains. Maybe one day the terrorists and gangsters will fight over who gets to make the liberal wuss their prison bitch.

Summer come early.

Winter can really wear a guy down. However, there is a lot a guy can do to keep from going stir-crazy. Like, for instance, I'm trying this blog and it can be fun. I think it can be unhealthy at the same time. Like, for instance, a guy focuses on one thing too much. It can make you seem crazy. The trick is to find something you know a lot about and are able to talk about without sounding like a hick. I can talk about guns. So I try to keep my Gun of the Week going. Or I can write about a book I'm reading. Maybe somebody read the same book and can share ideas. I think I will also start talking about some music I like. For instance, I recently discovered Roscoe Holcomb. He is interesting because, he came from the land he sang about, the Apallachians. He actually worked in the coal mines and tilled that land. He was authentic in a way that would be hard to find in a contemporary recording artist.

In this video I've posted, he's playing "Little Birdie," a song I enjoy hearing another banjo great-Ralph Stanley-perform. Incidentally, I learned, Holcomb was admired by Stanley and I wonder if his style was an influence on Stanley's timbre and his "Claw Hammer" playing style.

Gun of the Week

2008-02-11T13:17:00.000-07:00

My old man has knocked over a few deer and moose in his time. One chilly autumn, at dusk, he spent two cartridges on an immature bull out near Fort St. John, off the Alaska Highway. As far as he tells it and as far as I, or anybody else has ever witnessed, that was the only time. Every other kill he ever made required only one shot.

Perhaps it is because of a Weaver 3x9x38mm riflescope or his Sako 85 chambered in 7mm Remington Magnum. Wrong. My dad'll park six blocks away to avoid paying for parking. Do you think he would shell out the thousands upon thousands of dollars required for a rig like that?

Pops bought a Lee Enfield .303 for 20 bucks back in the '60's and never once looked back. It came with a "sporterised" custom stock and the rear peep-sight was replaced with an open "v." I don't recall him ever once "sighting in" that rifle before a trip. He bought a leather sling for it and never once mounted a scope. He still has it locked away in the basement, having not seriously hunted game in over ten years.

The Lee Enfield was employed by the British service for over 60 years. The Canadian Rangers are still using the Lee Enfield .303 while keeping steadfast watch over our most Northern flank. I have not met a single serious gun owner who has not owned a .303 at one time in their lives. The gun, in all of its forms, survives in collections, hunter's gun cabinets and behind the seat backs of pickups all over the country. You can still pick them up cheap; my current all-round gun is a .303 with a vintage Weaver K6 that I picked up, as a package, for $150. Ever since the Canadian Government flooded the market with surplus Lee Enfields back in the fifties, every gun show and gun shop in the country has more then a few up for sale.

The gun's longevity is a testament to the gun's perfection. Like any military firearm, it is rugged and simple. The rear locking bolt system is quick and easy to operate. In anticipation of dirty battlefields, the chamber was made extra wide to allow for grimy operation. The ruggedness does not take away from the rifle's accuarcy, however. With open sights, my 70 year old rifle achieves modest, yet adequate, 1 inch, 5 shot, groupings at 100 yards. Like todays C7, when put into the hands of a trained rifleman, the Lee Enfield .303 does what is required. According to Wikipedia, freedom fighters of WWI and II could loose 20 to 30 rounds a minute with this bolt-action rifle. In WWI and II, that would be a lot of krouts. The Afghans used the .303 during their war against the Soviets. So the venerable rifle has taken its share of commies as well.

Along with every Western struggle, there is a piece of engineering and innovation that goes hand in hand with defeating tyrrany. This week's gun, the Lee Enfield .303 is the very symbol of that engineering and innovation. I've only touched on the history of this invaluable kit, go check out Wikipedia and learn something of your heritage as a freeborn Canadian.

Hi y'all! I just got back from four days of hauling water. It went okay. Advice: if you insist on hitting the ditch, don't do it at midnight when the temperature is -45c. Not that I know that from experience. Oh, and if you decide not to heed my advice, make sure one tank of fuel isn't draining into the other while you're sitting there waiting for help.

Meow, since I've been off the internet, I've missed out on this amazing piece of hogwash. Wow. Wow, that is all I have to say about that. I'm not sure why Kinsella is the centre of so much of my liberal-bashing. Is it creepy yet? Maybe it's because Kinsella is like the prototypical king of the "progressive" liberal twits. I mean, the guy worked for Chretien. Chretien's lawyer photographs bathroom walls. Wow.

Progressives sure are good at finding all kinds of ways to convolute an issue as simple as free speech. They also have thin skin and cry at the wink of an eye. Maybe they see more than is really there. Perhaps they have some kind of super sixth sense. I don't know, I'm just a commoner, a simple man.

2008-02-03T16:24:00.000-07:00

Why does there have to be a debate about Free Speech? Adler enunciates the truth perfectly so read it yourself.

People of different political persuasions should be debating about things like unions and taxes and whether or not Dion is a terrible leader and a pansy or just a terrible leader.

I suspect that the only reason "progressives" are going against unfettered speech is because they hate the people who are fighting speech laws. I also suspect that "progressives" are also scaredy cats who talk too much and suffer from reality-disconnect, but that is probably just my opinion.

The champion of speech suppression has already stooped to the lowest of the low. There's a big difference, Warren; children need protection. They are vulnerable. Politics, religion and race are a thinking game. Not a sick vice.

The truth is, "progressives" have zero faith in humanity. Why else do would they think that every teeny facet of our lives need to be controlled and regulated. Maybe, because in truth, they are the ones who are most like nazis. They are the racist ones, with their obsessions with white on coloured racism and their propensity to throw around racist accusations. They are the tyrants with their unwavering belief that the government can regulate our asses all the way to heaven on earth.

Where are all these Liberals coming from?

2008-02-02T20:08:00.000-07:00

What the heck is this (ignore the CBC crap)? And here too. Remember when a Liberal would open his mouth and it sounded like a toilet flushing? I guess with no "little guy from Shawinigan calling the shots, Liberals can think. Chretien used to let the stupidest Liberals act like monkeys , sounding off about crosses in Prince George and stomping on Bush dolls etc. etc. With that weenie Dion in charge, the Liberals run amok and actually make sense. Ironic, isn't it?

I need a stiff one. Wrapping my mind around this makes me drink.

2008-02-01T22:41:00.000-07:00

Here's the thing. There was a report on the CBC today, or was it yesterday. Yesterday or today, there was a report that warranted the attention of all CBC listeners. George Clooney was scolding some nobodies at the UN about sending a bunch of troops to Sudan. It went something like that. Who can remember these things? Anyways, this speech was so important that the CBC actually felt compelled to broadcast Clooney's huskey, soothing voice righteously pontificating geopolitical wisdom. Thanks, CBC.

Clooney acted in the Coen Brother's movies, O' Brother Where art Thou and Intolerable Cruelty. He was cast perfectly as a vain and shallow escaped con in the former and a vain and shallow divorce lawyer in the latter. The Coen Brothers also made The Big Lebowski. I always thought of it as a take-off on L.A. noir movies like China Town or The Big Sleep.

Some memorable lines:

The Dude: Look, we all know who is at fault here, what the fuck are you talking about?

Walter: No, what the fuck are you... I'm not... We're talking about unchecked aggression here, dude.

Donny: What the fuck is he talking about?

The Dude: My rug.

Walter: Forget it, Donny, you're out of your element!

The Dude: Walter, the chinaman who peed on my rug, I can't go give him a bill, so what the fuck are you talking about?

Walter: What the fuck are you talking about? The chinaman is not the issue here, Dude. I'm talking about drawing a line in the sand, Dude. Across this line, you DO NOT... Also, Dude, chinaman is not the preferred nomenclature. Asian-American, please.

The Dude: Walter, this isn't a guy who built the fucking railroads here. This is a guy...

Walter: What the fuck are you talking about?

The Dude: Walter, he peed on my rug!

Donny: He peed on the Dude's rug.

Walter: Donny you're out of your element! Dude, the Chinaman is not the issue here!

Book Reviewer

2008-01-31T20:15:00.001-07:00

I was going to review Stephen Crane's visionary war classic, "The Red Badge of Courage." However I misplaced the damn thing. I have started reading Ulysses S. Grant's, "Personal Memoirs." So instead, I will provide some reflections of what I have read so far.

The first seven chapters feature Grant's life from start till the Mexican War in 1846 where he served as a fledgling 2nd Lt. Grant does not merely start with himself, but starts by telling the reader who is ancestors are and where they are from. In fact, Grant starts the book with one line that sums it all up, succintly, and without irony; "My family is American, and has been for generations, in all its branches, direct and collateral." No sir, this man does not mince words and that is how the book has read so far.

Grant was born in Point Pleasant Ohio and grew up in Georgetown. His early life consisted of hard work and horses. His father was a tradesman with some land to farm and Grant learned to break, plough and harvest with horses at a young age. So far in the book, Grant seems especially fond of horses, recalling every horse he ever owned and providing details and anecdotes for every horse. This is unsurprising considering horses were the main source of transportation. If Grant lived in our period of time, he would be talking about driving his mom's '65 Fairlane and the first muscle car he ever bought.

The tone is self-deprecating and his humour is dry. He is not afraid to tell his most embarrassing moments. Early on in Grant's life, upon returning home from West Point, Grant
decide to ride about town in his new Officer's uniform. It seems the town idiot took to mimicing him causing townsfolk to laugh at Grant's expense. Remember this is the man who revolutionized tactics and led the North to victory during the Civil War.

He also has no bones about criticising the Mexican War where he experiences his first engagements. He distinguishes leaders he admires and fools he does not. It is no wonder he later becomes popular with his men during the Civil War. Prehaps it was Grant's early humilities, that he remembers so well, that helped form that great General he was to become.

I'm getting ahead of myself. So far the memoirs are infomaticve and entertaining. There are descriptions of Mexicans breaking horses and ship to ship transfers of troops at sea. There is an absence of pomp and pretension and many very funny moments. I hope it continues just the same.

Meeting this guy on the street would make my day

2008-01-30T15:18:00.000-07:00

This guy should keep advertising his views. I know plenty of hardy folks, myself included, who would just love to meet him in person. Most of us are civil types, content to turn a cheek knowing full well that everybody gets their due.

But there are others who deliver that due. I hope this dude keeps spouting because some people like nothing more than administering a well deserved smack-down.

Toronto provides this country with so many upstanding Canadians. Stand proud, Toronto.

Gun of the Week

2008-01-30T09:59:00.000-07:00

What do you get when you take a Canadian, give him a little training, and sharpen his mind. You get a motivated, deadly, and proffesional defender of freedom. But wait, I missed one one part of the formula. Put a C7 in his hands.
The C7, better known as the American M16 or civillian AR15, has been a symbol of freedom for over 40 years. How many times a week do you turn on the television to see a Canadian or a Yank standing in some Godforsaken dust-choked hell-hole with the Black plastic assault rifle held ready for action.

If you want to read about the history of this ubiquitous justice-dispenser, look here. I will tell you that the C7 is a 5.56x45 mm, gas operated, air cooled, magazine fed, assault rifle that weighs 2.9 kg and features a forward assist. I do know, from my brief military experience, that the C7 can endure sand, water, ice and mud and still work. Just keep it cleaned, but that's part of the discipline and training.

In the right hands, it never misses a target. Some might argue that the 5.56 mm round is too light. To that I say size does not matter. It matters where you land your rounds, however. That goes for all you guys who hunt game with .300 WSMs and the like. Why do you think that in fire-fights far more freedom-haters are killed than anybody else. They use a larger round in their hard hitting AKs but they can't hit shit.

You can buy and "register" an AR15 in Canada. They make great hunting rifles and gopher guns besides defending against heathens, commies, jihads and the like. Besides, with the coming Russian invasion, we'll need something to stave the bastards off.

More on Witches

2008-01-28T12:36:00.000-07:00

Kinsella's ironic label of witches to his intellectual opponents has given me cause to more thoughts on the subject. With his zealous pursuit of loser racists, his hero, Richard Warman, was part of a greater fear over-running our culture. Remember when it was generally accepted that only whites could be racist? I would propose that people like Warman are a product of a period in time when our society was in the grips fear. Fear that we are indeed the racists we were accused of being. I would propose that when the HRCs started persecuting people for hate speech, they were kicking off a witch hunt for undesirables. If allowed to continue, like all witch hunts that were allowed to continue, this "Liberal" witch hunt has the potential to be just as evil and unthinking as all other witch hunts that preceeded it. I will now proceed to look at evidence and write more on this matter.

Witches

2008-01-27T12:12:00.001-07:00

Warren Kinsella, the post-modern racist, has taken up the habit of calling his blogging foes wicked witches. How revealing. His personal hero, Richard Warman, was engaged in a witch hunt of sorts. I'm sure Kinsella would love to engage in a witch hunt for bloggers whose views don't correspond with post-modern "Trudeaupian (credits to Steyn)" Canada. How ironic that the things Warman and Kinsella think they're crusading against are the very things they do. Thank God people are standing up for free speech because when the activist self-righteous lawyer goes to work for the gvernment, real rights go the way of the flint-lock.

2008-01-27T10:48:00.000-07:00

I'm sure everybody has seen this video. Ezra Levant is not only a skilled public speaker but also a hero. His magazine, The Western Standard, was immensly enjoyable to read. It was full of original ideas and all kinds of investigations the regular media wouldn't touch with their dirty dicks. It's too bad it went under. Canadian publishing must be tough.

This Paikin interview got me real fired up. I'm not talking about Ezra Levant's interview-it was fun to watch how masterfully he dealt with Paikin's questions-but the debate at the end. Why this is something Canadians have to debate about is beyond me. Free Speech is a God given right to free-born Canadians, something that has been earned through countless conflicts and deaths. It is maddening to listen to Ziad and Mohammed try to wrap their minds around free speech. All you can do is be persistent and polite with numbskulls like that. You can almost see the wall between the two opposing views.

A decline in contraceptive use, a drop in access to abortion, poor education and poverty.

That is the reason given for an increase of births among Americans other than Hispanics.

That's why I have kids; I'm just a poor ignorant yokel with nothing better to do. Aw, shucks, and I go to church too. Too bad I'm not an activist lawyer so that I might know better than to have pesky children.

Church of the week

2008-01-25T10:46:00.000-07:00

This week's church is St. Columbia Anglican church, out at Buffalo Pound Saskatchewan. Standing alone with a few trees and a grave yard, St. Columbia is the quintessntial Anglican church. The simplicity, tastefulness and practical minimilism of the church reflects everything it means, to me anyways, to be an Anglican. God is far more apparent in the clean simple lines of a prairie church than the spiralling and arched masonry of any downtown cathedral.

When I visited Buffalo Pound, I failed to take any pictures of the graveyard. However I did find a website devoted to St. Columbia's graveyard. Imagine the stories behind these old cracked headstones.

Reactionaries

2008-01-25T07:34:00.000-07:00

You think it would be good news that the military stopped prisoner transfers. The very thought of transferring prisoners to Afghan authorities was so abhorrent to anyone left of the Conservatives, that they seemed to forget about every other issue of the war, and, with unrelenting enthusiasm, the lefties pursued the issue like a mother coming for her hurt baby across a crowded banquet hall.

Here at one of my favourite lefty blog you see the attitude perfectly.

The CBC's The Current, had a guest yesterday to talk about this very subject. He was Law Professor, Amir Attaran, eminent and acclaimed expert on all things government and war. His indignation at our deceitful murderous regime of a government was plain to hear through his nasally, increasingly high-pitched, voice. To paraphrase; "The government stopped prisoner transfers months ago!" The rest is what you'd expect from a born activist. The innocent child-like prisoners, the poor ignorant hapless Canadian soldiers, and, of course, you can't have a conversation with a lefty without hearing about our old standby, Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. In fact, Mr. Attaran claims that what Canada did is "worse" than Guantanamo Bay. That's right, suspending prisoner transfers, not advertising the fact, and then not clarifying where the prisoners are now going, is worse than a five star prison resort. Actually not all that damning when you think about it.

I think they want a big prisoner torturing scandal. They want all those Taliban to get tortured in the worst possible way and then they want the West to lose everything we've gained in the mid-east. They love failure.

This is how the humourless revolutionaries think; anything the government does deserves a knee-jerk reaction because the government is the hated conservatives and we need to politicize every little issue so that we can get rid of them. Anything Mark Steyn does deserves an HRC because I'm not a very funny writer and no one recognizes that I'm an "ass-kicker." The
problem with the left is they all want to be John Lennon and lead a hippie revolution.

"Rainbow Stew"

2008-01-23T16:59:00.000-07:00

Two years ago, the local paper had five pages of job ads and a quarter of a page of vacancies. Today, you'll see the exact opposite.

The situation is critical. Every boom is followed by bust. It is imperitive to prepare for the bust.

What if you haven't? If you didn't already own your house, you had to go out and buy one when the prices were high. Every month you needed to borrow that extra bit of money with full expectation that it could be paid back the following month.

An economic woe here and there is nothing. Wars are blazing all across the planet. Politicians are still lying.

Declare bankruptcy and go back to school. Sell the quad because you can buy a brand new one in another five years. Just don't let your marriage disolve.

Gun of the Week

2008-01-22T21:10:00.000-07:00

This is the gun of the week. This gives me something to dream about at night. In my dream, the gas operated, full auto, AA-12, 12 ga. shotgun is available at Walmart. I promptly retire my mat-black Winchester defender and head into town. At the Walmart, I have no trouble finding parking and when I get to sporting goods, I slap down my Mastercard along with my Possession/Acquisition license and request one gas operated, full auto AA-12, 12 ga. shotgun. The smiling 60 yr. behind the counter hands it over and Walmart earns yet another satisfied customer.

Why, you might ask, would a citizen need a weapon such as this?

The AA-12 is able to fire at a rate of 360 rounds per minute. Normally, the recoil of a full auto shotgun firing at this rate would be unmanageable. The resulting loss of accuracy would render a full auto shotgun useless.

The engineers responsible for the AA-12 solved this problem by redirecting the gasses that cause recoil to instead operate the shotgun's mechanism, leaving the gun with almost no recoil.

Even better, explosive shells are being developed for the AA-12:

Now, what would I need this for?

It's obvious. With the AA-12, a man can dig holes, rototil, renovate, clear a road, open a can of tuna, etc. etc... The possibilities are limitless, my friend. One can dream.

update...

It makes perfect sense, develop a full auto shotgun, and then... MOUNT IT ON A REMOTE CONTROL HELICOPTER! HOLY SHIT!

2008-01-21T20:28:00.000-07:00

Today I want to talk about CBC's Krista Erikson. Me being an unruly right-winger might lead you to expect a venomous post about the evils of our Liberal Party biased public broadcaster. You might yawn in expectation of calls to have the CBC liquidated or made private; of undoing their lefty agenda completely and absolutely.

Actually, all I want to point out today is that Krista Erikson is one heckuva fox! Ahr ahr ahroooooo! Wow, she should be in Sports Illustrated or Maxim. I'd buy that issue.

Whites Only School

2008-01-20T22:36:00.000-07:00

I've got a proposition. We need to get our students back to the basics. White kids don't feel comfortable in school because they have to learn about cultures that aren't European. They feel alienated because they must learn the history of hip-hop when they should be square-dancing and learning about Mozart. Too many schools focus on the evils of colonialism when they should be focusing on colonialism's inherent benefits.

I believe that if white kids went to an all white school, they would no linger feel uncomfortable. In an atmosphere of white culture, white kids can feel free to be white. Most importantly, they can do it guilt free.

Sounds ridiculous? Don't think it will fly?

Then what the hell is this: http://www.thestar.com/News/GTA/article/294891

Do I understand all the issues and facts and blah-biddy-blah-blahs? Should I give a shit?

Hell, I didn't even take the time to really research this because to me, it's a no-brainer.

Where's the frickin' outcry?

After all the work that's been done for equality; after all the court battles and education; after all everything that has been worked for by our fore-bearers, where's the outcry?

It all seems surreal until you remember that free-speech is being persecuted in kangaroo "human rights" courts in the name of "human rights."

And it all seems sad that inequality still exists in Canada while our soldiers die in the name of freedom on foriegn battlefields.
