Caroline Glick analyzes the coverage: Identity politics revolve around the narrative of victimization. For adherents to identity politics, the victim is not a person, but a member of a privileged victim group. That is, the status of victimhood is not determined by facts, but by membership in an identity group. Stories about victims are not dictated by facts. Victim stories are tailored to fit the victim. Facts, values and individual …
No friends to the right
No enemies to the left, no friends to the right Left wing journalist Nir Rosen ridicules Lara Logan’s rape. Seems that because Nir Rosen is even further left than she is, the stupid slut deserved to get raped. “Lara Logan had to outdo Anderson. Where was her buddy McCrystal.†That she is supposedly a buddy of the insufficiently left wing McCrystal is a suggestion that she is insufficiently left wing.
Democracy in action
Lara Logan, CBS chief foreign correspondent was beaten and gang raped by a mob of 200 enthusiastic pro democracy protestors chanting “Jew, Jew†There is an effort to blame Mubarak for this, but if the goons of a US ally had done this, if the goons of a man who accepted peace with the west had done this, the mainstream media would be covering this with headlines the size of …
Democracy in Tunisia
The promised democracy in Egypt is an infection from an outbreak of democracy in Tunisia. Yet strangely, Tunisia has fallen off the headlines. How is democracy working out in Tunisia, you might ask? Wonder no longer! Thousands of Tunisians have also arrived by boat to the Italian island of Lampedusa prompted Italy to declare a humanitarian state of emergency and ask the European Union for 100 million euros in aid …
The Wallison dissent
Steve Sailor, is as always great reading, and he issues some comments that on the Wallison dissent that everyone who wants to understand the financial crisis should pay attention to. Peter Wallison tells us Profit had nothing to do with the motivations of these firms; they were responding to government direction. Rather than direction, they were responding to government pressure and persuasion. Basel gave government not so much the power …
The new Egypt
Earlier I argued that no Muslims should be allowed to vote anywhere in the world, least of all in Muslim majority countries. Brutally honest has some interesting survey results on what the Egyptian majority will vote for: • 84% favor the death penalty for people who leave the Muslim faith. Now 84% is an interesting number, considering that something like ten or fifteen percent of Egyptians are Christians (the number …
The origins of multicultural rule
From about 1880 to 1940, the ideology of multiculturalism is clearly and overwhelmingly Christian, in particular Protestant Christian socialist, though these Christians were somewhat embarrassed by the bible, due to its reactionary views on family, marriage, women, divorce, adultery, homosexuality, and so forth, and were in the process of discarding it. Jews only show up in the multicultural ruling elite after the remnants of Christianity are purged from the doctrine – fifty or sixty years after it first exercised theocratic power.
Mainstream media backs Romneycare for GOP presidential candidate
Supposedly Romney, the creator of Romneycare, the medical system that inspired Obamacare, is the GOP’s best hope for defeating Obama. So the mainstream media unanimously tells us. Probably true, but there seems little point to such a “victoryâ€. At CPAC, Presidential Candidate Romneycare upbraids Obama for high unemployment, and all the press, the same press that worships Obama, the same press that goes weak at the knees at the sight …
Losing in Afghanistan
When the US accepted the Karzai government it snatched defeat from jaws of victory. There is not point in continuing the war in Afghanistan unless we start by killing Karzai and everyone near him. A government that executes people for converting to Christianity is always going to be a safe place for people to organize terror against infidels.
Egypt a test case for war with Islam
Is there a difference between “Islamic extremismâ€, and Islam? The British prime minster proposes Egypt as a test case: This highlights, I think, a significant problem when discussing the terrorist threat that we face. There is so much muddled thinking about this whole issue. On the one hand, those on the hard right ignore this distinction between Islam and Islamist extremism, and just say that Islam and the West are …
