The very fact that this is a “classified handbook” is the most ironic thing of all…How do these ‘leaders’ sleep at night? Delusional!!!

The Right Ordinary Horatio Jackson said to the Sultan, “Please, we been through this before. Now sign the surrender.”

Sultan, “But we’re winning!”

Quoth from The Adventures of Baron Munchausen.

I’m going to campaign against the EU constitution. I think if I can convince a lot of people that it basically scraps Irish soverignity (it does) then patriots (i.e. everyone) will vote No and it’ll be another bloody nose to the wole EU apparatus. Death to the Not-so-Great Satan!!

Bravo!

Europe is lost. Half of America is lost. Terrorists are laughing.

Missed you fogw – you can say so much with few words!

“Hurrah, we capitulate” – EUnuchs’ new slogan.

Thank you Bryan for the “EUnuchs” – I will now use it forever.

The EU goofed up badly on this one because…if anyone remembers…we also cannot, MUST NOT, use the word “terrorist” (ask Reuters). How could they have forgotten the new mantra: “One man´s…oops person’s “terrorist” is another person’s “freedom fighter” “? So, “terrorists who abusively invoke Islam” is out.

What now? “Individuals who are differently based morally who abusivey invoke Islam” ….

Maybe Ahmadinejab is right. Maybe we ARE doomed.

Someday they wont let you, now you must agree
The times they are a-telling, and the changing isn’t free
Youve read it in the tea leaves, and the tracks are on tv
Beware the savage jaw
Of 1984

Exactly right. Kind of like how liberals started calling themselves progressives. I was talking to a liberal friend of mine the other day who preferred the term progressive. I poked fun at her with a few questions. I asked her if there was a difference between liberals and progressives. She thought about it for a minute and said “no I don’t think so.” I chuckled and then asked a three questions, 1) why did liberals feel the need to change what they call themselves? 2) Why don’t Conservatives feel this same need? 3) If there is no difference between the two why do you prefer one over the other?

I love that one too. Why is it that liberals seldom want to admit to being liberals? Could it be because liberalism has a (well-deserved) negative connotation in the minds of normal people? Hmm, maybe all that killing of babies, burning of American flags, spitting on the troops, supporting of murderous dictators (especially if they’re Communist), government expansion, creeping Socialism, and raising taxes had consequences after all.

We hope that they will kill us last if we are nice to them….

Is it just me, or the 21st Century shaping up to suck mightily?

Bryan, your analysis is flawless I fear. Plan on spending your European vacations elsewhere. I hear Yosemite is nice this time of year. Montreal is a lot like old Europe, but it is Canada.

Can you imagine Europe 10 years from now? Men and Women, required to wear beards and burqas. I will miss beer and bangers.

Because of course, once we stop using those words to describe reality, that reality will cease to exist. Why didn’t we think of that earlier?

Can we work on banning terms like “global warming”, “carbon nenetral” and “Al Gore”?

Maybe they too will cease to exist!

Banned terms are said to include “jihad”, “Islamic” or “fundamentalist”.

There is a terrorist group that refers to itself as “Islamic Jihad”. It will be a double whammy to ever mention this group.

In the name of human rights, we’re getting a sharia-based speech code rammed down our throats on a global scale. Is it just me, or the 21st Century shaping up to suck mightily?

It’s not just you.

Everyday we hear excessively negative stories from Iraq, Iran practically declaring war and stories like the ones you posted above that show much of the “free world” to be absolute appeasers and dhimmis. Believe me, I too am very concerned about the fate of our nation and the world. It’s enough to make me wish I were still physically able to be in the military to at least contribute something to the effort against these threats.

I do what I can. I try to support the troops in my own little way through care packages. I vote for those politicians who are pro-victory. I try to keep informed and spread the word (thanks in large part to HA) but I often wonder if it’s enough. I’m so often bombarded with stories that make me feel that I’m on the losing side.

It urges states to take resolute action to prohibit the dissemination of racist and xenophobic ideas and material aimed at any religion or its followers that constitute incitement to racial and religious hatred, hostility or violence.

Too bad the EU didn’t have the balls or insight to direct that quote to the jihadists and Islamic terrorists. It is more appropriately applied to them.

The jihadists couldn’t take over Europe in the Middle Ages. The EU is making sure they give them a running start in the 21st century.

In the name of human rights, we’re getting a sharia-based speech code rammed down our throats on a global scale. Is it just me, or the 21st Century shaping up to suck mightily?

There will be at least one benefit of that; we won’t have to vacuum anymore.

Oh wait, we’re on the other side of the brushes?

Meanwhile, the jihadis use words like ‘Jews and Crusaders’. They identify exactly who their enemies are. That gives them the advantage.

The Monster

During Clinton’s Balkans War, the word “ethnic” was always used in place of “muslim”. I guess the word means “other than Christian” because when the muslims invaded the Christian villages and slaughtered the inhabitants, it wasn’t called “ethnic cleansing”. The Christians have pretty much been “cleansed” from that contested Balkans regions and are being cleansed by the “ethnics” in Lebanon and parts of Africa.

Problem here is that if you cannot accurately name somthing, you can have no debate about it. If you allow one side to control the words used, then you allow them to set the terms of debate.

Soon, these terms will be considered HATE Speech, by the EU, which will then allow them to start to stymie Free Speech on the Net…

As Courts in Europe, following our stupid precedent, now consider themeselves to have jurisdiction everywhere, they can, and I believe soon will, try to go after Americans for Hate Speech ordinances….

The word “jihad” is to be avoided altogether

But the islamists “terrorists who abusively invoke Islam” can still use it in their struggle, right? I would hate for them to feel restrained in their right to free speech.

Remember when there were ‘cripples’?

It was deemed cruel to describe them thus, so we started calling them ‘handicapped’. But eventually, people figured out that word meant the same thing, so we needed a new name.

Ah, how about ‘disabled’? That worked for a while. But again, people know what it means. I believe the current term is ‘differently-abled’….

When we hear about rioting ‘youths’ in France, who do we think they’re talking about? How long before they have to come up with a new euphemism for that?

This is all symptomatic of those who assert the primacy of consciousness over existence. They think that changing what they call something changes its identity. It does not. It only confounds people’s ability to reason.

Meanwhile, the jihadis use words like ‘Jews and Crusaders’. They identify exactly who their enemies are. That gives them the advantage.

“Fundamentalist” used to be their favorite word when referring to Christians. Now they are letting it be known that they used the word for the purpose offending Christians.
