Bad people are always willing to fight. If good people are not willing to fight, they will surrender in a succession of small steps, and bad people will rule. Without England declaring war, the Nazis would have ruled by 1942. Without Reagan encouraging a multitude of small wars, the communists would have ruled by 1990
Capital Controls
Capital controls are characteristic of third world dictatorships teetering on the edge of bankruptcy. And now America has capital controls.
How much ruin in a nation?
On the one hand, there is a lot of ruin in a nation. On the other hand, that which cannot continue, will stop. The present level of government spending is unsustainable. At what point then, do we get general collapse?
No moderate Islam, and not many moderate Muslims
How many Muslims are moderate? In the recent Iraq election, moderates gained, just barely, a plurality. Not a majority, a plurality. To govern, they will need the support of some violently immoderate people. They have a plurality because the various different kinds of extremist hate each other, splitting the extremist vote.
The Obamized future
America was the place where the future was created. All the world depended on America for progress. It ceased to be that place under Clinton, and things got worse under Bush. We cannot rebuild the two towers, we no longer have a human presence in space, and the next big thing on the internet, networked money that bypasses our legacy banking system, is coming from China, and, God-help-us, Africa. Remember …
No men on the left
A leftist women, who merely wants humans to return to the stone age, was publicizing her book criticizing the far left, who want to get rid of humans altogether (They want the stone age with no killing of non human animals, an arrangement where one’s life expectancy would be measured in weeks.) A bunch of far leftists attacked her. They did not throw pies at her, they punched her with …
Allies and enemies
You will observe that Obama regime is full of noisy outrage that Israel is building housing in Jerusalem, most of which will be occupied by Jews, as Israel has been doing for the past forty years, ever since it seized the rest of Jerusalem and announced that all of Jerusalem, Jerusalem undivided, was the eternal and indivisible capital of the nation of Israel. Compare and contrast with Obama’s “quiet diplomacy†…
Pedestalization of women
Roissy, in one of his many excellent political posts, asks Why Do Conservatives Sanctify Women? The correct answer, which he misses, is that they hanker for a world in which women stayed on pedestals instead of sneaking off to bang strange males.
The boot comes down hard on the Institute of Physics
As you doubtless know by now, the Institute of Physics gave a wonderfully politically incorrect report on Global Warming. Predictably the boot came down on them hard. Academia is indeed like a communist country. They don’t shoot dissidents in Academia, but communist thought control seldom found it necessary to shoot people. It mostly worked by quietly blighting the lives of troublesome people.Â
Exegesis on the Institute of Physics report on the CRU emails
The Institute of Physics tells us. The Institute is concerned that, unless the disclosed e-mails are proved to be forgeries or adaptations, worrying implications arise for the integrity of scientific research in this field and for the credibility of the scientific method as practised in this context. In plainer words, climate science lacks credibility. That climate scientists tell us we are doomed unless we repent of our sins against Gaea …
