Quotes of the day
posted at 10:00 pm on February 13, 2009 by Allahpundit
“In 1982 President Reagan came to the House of Commons, where he did a speech very few people liked. Reagan called upon the West to reject communism and defend freedom. He introduced a phrase: ‘evil empire’. Reagan’s speech stands out as a clarion call to preserve our liberties. I quote: If history teaches anything, it teaches self-delusion in the face of unpleasant facts is folly.
What Reagan meant is that you cannot run away from history, you cannot escape the dangers of ideologies that are out to destroy you. Denial is no option.”
*
“In Britain, Canada, the Netherlands and elsewhere (as the Instaprof has often noted) the state is teaching a very dangerous lesson.”

The Brits should be listening to this guy…and so should we.
brtex on February 13, 2009 at 10:03 PM
Charles Johnson.
Or something.
(Just wanted to be the first to say it. //sarc)
Y-not on February 13, 2009 at 10:03 PM
You know what? I don’t give a happy damn about Geert Wilders.
We have enough problems here without arguing about whether Muslims are poisoning the Euro-weenies.
Leave this s**t to Charles Johnson. He seems to care about it.
MrScribbler on February 13, 2009 at 10:08 PM
United, we stand; Divided, we fall….

Jim708 on February 13, 2009 at 10:11 PM
I suppose after we save ourselves here, we’ll have to do something about dragging Britain up off its knees as well. Larry Bird, after having helped to build substantial leads in an NBA game only to see the leads dwindle as he sat on the bench, was quoted while going back into the game for a fourth time to try to clinch the win, “Damn, how many times am I going to have to win this game for you guys.” Kinda feels the same with Britain now.
genso on February 13, 2009 at 10:11 PM
I have a response to AP calling Geert a hypocrite yesterday: Everybody’s a hypocrite. You’re running a conservative website, yet you supported TARP. Does that mean we should take your message with any less truth? No.
Looking at this man, I just get the feeling that he’ll probably be dead sooner rather than later, and nobody will even bat an eye. They’ll say he deserved it for “inciting hate.”
Its truly a scary time that we live in, because even the governments of our nations are afraid to face off against an evil, and will actively silence any individuals who seek to show the world the face of that evil. What’s left? Evil wins, or our governments wake up. Either way, this conflict will not end peacefully.
jimmy the notable on February 13, 2009 at 10:15 PM
MrScribbler must have an upcoming trip to Britain and wants to insure he doesn’t get turned away, either.
mcg on February 13, 2009 at 10:16 PM
Ap, thank you for quoting Wilders and Steyn. I couldn’t have stood any Lib quotes tonight, since they, themselves, hold to ideologies that are out to destroy you.
INC on February 13, 2009 at 10:17 PM
The problem is, once they get done poisoning Europe, all eyes turn towards us.
john1schn on February 13, 2009 at 10:17 PM
There’s no “whether” about it. They ARE poisoning the Euroweenies.
Or rather, the Europeans are poisoning themselves out of a fear of appearing anything less than full-throatedly multicultural. And by multicultural they mean “promoting the culture of the minority and suppressing the culture of the majority.”
This does concern you MrScribbler. Perhaps not in the immediate sense, but if you have any interest in seeing the civilized world succeed, this interests you.
jimmy the notable on February 13, 2009 at 10:18 PM
Don’t come here, Geert, the fools in our government will throw you in prison too.
Bishop on February 13, 2009 at 10:19 PM
Johnson threw Wilders under the LGF bus long ago.
INC on February 13, 2009 at 10:20 PM
Wilders is one of the few voices speaking out internationally against the multiculti madness.

I am ashamed of the Britain I used to know and honor.
We inherited so much that was good from them.
I guess we are looking at our own descent into the abyss.
To the extent I can, I will never buy another British product unless their attitude changes.
Pussies, pansies…the political class of Brits are useless.
Harry Schell on February 13, 2009 at 10:22 PM
The whole of Europe is a waste. Worse, they are part and parcel to our present situation, I hardly blame them for our weakness.

You’d do better to challenge the unthinking American cult of Tony Blair worship.
After all it’s not like British companies are the root of the problem.
An economic boycott would have no effect on the Government ministers who sent Geert Wilders back on the plane to Holland.
aengus on February 13, 2009 at 10:29 PM
Wilders stirring up trouble in your life MrScribbler? Making your days awkward? Or is he just stealing time from political navel gazing and Jindal jingles?
BL@KBIRD on February 13, 2009 at 10:29 PM
appeasing the unappeasable is not a long term survival strategy.
Europe is already lost to the jihad, we need to start making plans for how we’re going to handle the refugees.
Rebar on February 13, 2009 at 10:31 PM
They are like us, apathetic. They will need a crisis of moral clarity just like us to find the will to rise up and start to take their country back. We should do everything we can to help that along there and here. Industries and workers support the government there as here through taxes, despite their politics.
genso on February 13, 2009 at 10:32 PM
Geert Wilders aught to post a video of the speech online, and for the fun of it, do it in a mock up of the British Parliament.

In fact, he is causing far more damage than the Muslims Wilders fears.

genso on February 13, 2009 at 10:38 PM
Perhaps you are right but it is not appropriate for an ally to attempt to provoke a crisis of moral clarity through deliberate economic sabotage.
Maybe an economic boycott of Muslim countries like Saudi Arabia would be a better course of action?
aengus on February 13, 2009 at 10:39 PM
Whats happening to Geert Wilder is unbeleiveable,
consider Geert as the ‘Canary in Europes Muslim

Much like the idiots on the Left in my country
Canada,if you got the stomach,
scoot over to Atlas Shrugs,she has a video,of
Parliment in England,and watch these pompus
jack#sss’s in verbal action,sickening!
It’s 1939,crap,I mean 2009,and Europe is bending over

I’m curious,why is Europe surrendering so easily,
are they been blackmailed to tow the line with a
nuclear devices in every city in Europe!!!

Greed on February 13, 2009 at 10:41 PM
I understand your feelings. However, if you look at our current situation you will see that we are not in a position to boycott the Middle East where we get our fuel. As for not provoking an ally, the British government does not fit that description. Their military and part of their population, perhaps.

I agree, yet aside from going over there and saving them ourselves I think we are left to hope. Absent hope, old Europe will probably be a threat to us someday, assuming we survive that long ourselves considering the current state of affairs.

I think the sickness that led to Frances miserable performance at the beginning of WWII has spread to the UK. Actually, the disease is far more acute.
FloatingRock on February 13, 2009 at 10:55 PM
Its very sad to see a Nation like England which once controlled most of the world during the height of the British Empire reduced to cowering in fear by a bunch islamofascist thugs that their overly liberal immigration policies allowed into their country in the first place. This is why migration without assimilation does not work, someone in the British government needs to develop some balls and lay down the law with these people and tell them how it is and how its going to be and if they don’t like it they are more than welcome to bugger off back to the crap holes they came from.
Dreadnought223 on February 13, 2009 at 10:58 PM

They aren’t any different there than we are except for geography. We are infested with the same ideologies as them but we are fortunate to have a rather benign neighbor to the north and, despite the leakage from the south, a relatively healthy visa program. Europe has allowed too many to travel freely from inside and outside, gerrymandering Europe much like Detroit. We are lucky in this regard.
genso on February 13, 2009 at 11:01 PM

What England had going for it,was the Island affect,

They ruined their perfect natural defence,the moat,

Since the Muslims don’t like airborne assaults,they
simply immigrated,coupled with Englands fingers in
India,and Englands Grand Empire,nobody thought long
term,
and presto,they have a problem!
canopfor on February 13, 2009 at 11:04 PM
From my Christian perspective I think that hope is entirely justified even if it seems otherwise. God sees to it that evil does not wholly triumph in the sense that that Hitlerism or Islam would have a chance at covering the Earth.
From my pessimistic perspective I think that if there were a genuine attempt at reversing the situation military the US could very easily take the side of the Muslims (at first). I do not just mean Obama – I think this would also be a Republican President’s response.
In what way could Europeans retake their historic lands without being accused of fascism? The answer is no way at all. The very act of, say, ethnic Norwegians asserting that Norway belonged to them exclusively would be construed by a liberal Democrat or liberal Republican President as an act of aggression against helpless Muslims.
aengus on February 13, 2009 at 11:04 PM
No hope. Only principle and fortitude.
genso on February 13, 2009 at 11:04 PM
Part of the problem is…I mean, how do we do that? What does the UK actually produce anymore? I’m not aware of any UK products on the market, even if I wanted to buy one.
I think they’re in even worse shape in that regard than we are.

Yet more than once in history the Jihad has spread across much of Europe and only the church saved them. But this time Europe has lost much of it’s religion. Even as an atheist, more than once I’ve wished that this were not so that Europe might once against save itself. I’ve never been there but from a historical perspective I would really like them to survive and remain European, (but with more balls). The world wouldn’t seem right otherwise.
FloatingRock on February 13, 2009 at 11:21 PM
Uh-oh. Expect TheRaceCard to jump in here and severely excoriate you for daring to speak evil of Charles Johnson.
Johnson is an interesting case; it’s good that he woke up after 9/11. However, he does have that somewhat annoying characteristic of the kid everybody knew growing up who would stand in his back yard and scream, “My sandbox! My rules! You go home!” There was always one of the other kids who would stand alongside him and always take his side with that “yeah, what HE said!”. [I'll leave it as an exercise for the reader to whom that might refer]. After a while, the rest of us decided that his sandbox really wasn’t that much fun.

INC on February 13, 2009 at 11:29 PM
I’ve had mixed feelings about this. I hate fascists with a passion, as I’m sure most if not all here do, yet I want Europe to survive and remain European. It would be a great loss, from a historical perspective, if they didn’t. Yet they won’t remain so on the course they’re on. I think as long as they follow the example of post WWII Czechoslovakia rather than Hitler, and limit their efforts to Islam they’ll do alright by history.
FloatingRock on February 13, 2009 at 11:31 PM

Imagine there’s no Islam
It’s hard but you can try
No suicide hijackers coming down at us
Above us only sky
Imagine all those people
Still alive today…
Imagine there’s no Islamic countries
It’s hard but you can try
No Mohammad for them to kill or die for
And no Imams too
Imagine all the Christians, Jews and Infidels
Living life without them…
You may say I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
I hope someday even dhimmi Charles “Joe McCarthy” Johnson will join us
And the non-Islamic world will be as one
Imagine no Burkhas
I wonder if you can
No need for Medina or Meca
A brotherhood of non-Islamic woman and man
Imagine all the people
Living without Sharia…
You may say I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
I hope someday even dhimmi Charles “Joe McCarthy” Johnson will join us
And the non-Islamic world will be as one

AZfederalist on February 13, 2009 at 11:38 PM
Look the way I see it eventually after the silent majority has been pushed far enough by the ongoing liberal agenda in western society and they see their rights and freedoms being eroded away in the name cultural sensitivity and political correctness and they find themselves being treated as second class citizens in their own country something is going give and then there really will be a revolt of the masses. Only it wont be some glorious revolution of the proloteriate and the down trodden, instead it will be ordinary everyday people who are as mad as hell and have decided to take back their society and return it to the principles that it was founded upon and at the same time punish those who sort to tear it down in the first place.
Dreadnought223 on February 13, 2009 at 11:38 PM

MB4 on February 13, 2009 at 11:42 PM
I would be of a similar opinion if the UK hadn’t long since disarmed itself. They aren’t entirely without hope, so long as those running their government are beholden to their electorate, but that isn’t often the way of things.
FloatingRock on February 13, 2009 at 11:45 PM
AZFed, it was a sad reflection on CJ. I’ve never been banned because I haven’t bothered to go back there to comment in alt least over a year. Hearing about the mass purges, I figured I’d be zapped instantaneously and memory scrubbed, so why bother.

FloatingRock on February 13, 2009 at 11:52 PM
There might be moderate Muslims, but there is no moderate Islam. Islam will never change, because it is build on two rocks that are forever, two fundamental beliefs that will never change, and will never go away. First, there is Quran, Allah’s personal word, uncreated, forever, with orders that need to be fulfilled regardless of place or time. And second, there is al-insal al-kamil, the perfect man, Muhammad the role model, whose deeds are to be imitated by all Muslims. And since Muhammad was a warlord and a conqueror we know what to expect.
Islam means submission, so there cannot be any mistake about it’s goal. That’s a given. The question is whether the British people, with its glorious past, is longing for that submission.
Mr. Churchill himself compared the Quran to Adolf Hitler’s Mein Kampf. Well, I did exactly the same, and that is what they are prosecuting me for.
For a moment I feared that I would be refused entrance. But I was confident the British government would never sacrifice free speech because of fear of Islam.

AZfederalist on February 14, 2009 at 12:00 AM
I wanted to go back to that earlier comment of yours and give you my take as a Christian, FWIW.
The church in Europe was pretty much spiritually bankrupt after WWII. Many Christians who had tried to hold back the tide were dead. There’s a remnant still there, but the culture is post-Christian.
Without any Christian memory of what they believed or why it was important, they had no definition left of truth or reason to defend it. They were wide open to hedonism, dependence on the state and multi-culti thinking. That in turn left them defenseless to even beginning to understand the Muslim encroachment in their midst.
INC on February 14, 2009 at 12:07 AM
Charles Johnson appears to combines the worst traits of Joe McCarthy, Anthony Fremont and a consummate dhimmi. And that is just from what I know about him so far.
MB4 on February 14, 2009 at 12:09 AM
I, or rather the Lord, beseech you as Christ’s heralds to publish this everywhere and to persuade all people of whatever rank, foot-soldiers and knights, poor and rich, to carry aid promptly to those Christians and to destroy that vile race from the lands of our friends. I say this to those who are present, it is meant also for those who are absent. Moreover, Christ commands it.

Ode to Geert Wilders:
Where have all the good men gone
And where are all the gods?
Where’s the streetwise Hercules
To fight the rising odds?
Isn’t there a white knight upon a fiery steed?
Late at night I toss and turn and dream
of what I need
I need a hero
I’m holding out for a hero ’til the end of the night
He’s gotta be strong
And he’s gotta be fast
And he’s gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I’m holding out for a hero ’til the morning light
He’s gotta be sure
And it’s gotta be soon
And he’s gotta be larger than life
Somewhere after midnight
In my wildest fantasy
Somewhere just beyond my reach
There’s someone reaching back for me
Racing on the thunder and rising with the heat
It’s gonna take a superman to sweep me off my feet
I need a hero
I’m holding out for a hero ’til the end of the night
He’s gotta be strong
And he’s gotta be fast
And he’s gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I’m holding out for a hero ’til the morning light
He’s gotta be sure
And it’s gotta be soon
He’s gotta be larger than life
I need a hero
I’m holding out for a hero ’til the end of the night
He’s gotta be strong
And he’s gotta be fast
And he’s gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I’m holding out for a hero ’til the morning light
He’s gotta be sure
And it’s gotta be soon
He’s gotta be larger than life
Up where the mountains meet the heavens above
Out where the lightning splits the sea
I would swear that there’s someone somewhere
Watching me
Through the wind and the chill and the rain
And the storm and the flood
I can feel his approach
Like the fire in my blood
I need a hero
I’m holding out for a hero ’til the end of the night
He’s gotta be strong
And he’s gotta be fast
And he’s gotta be fresh from the fight
I need a hero
I’m holding out for a hero ’til the morning light

Actually, it seemed rather clever to me. If that was what he produced when drunk you had best hope that he does not sober up.
Cheshire Cat on February 14, 2009 at 12:28 AM
MB4, well, stand for us and with us, but you should begin by reading the gospel of John if you want to understand what it means to be one.
In the U.S., because we’re so large geographically, I think some regions are approaching Europe and others are still not close to it. There are vigorous and true Christians still here (we haven’t been killed off as of yet). However, in much of the church there is widespread compromise of belief and character as well as silliness (for lack of a better word).
We attend a very small church with a pastor who is wise and understands the implications of current events. He has been preaching and encouraging accordingly. It’s sobering, but he has been truly helpful.

It would probably be to our mutual benefit if I just stand with Pope Urban II. With my associations with Mark Twain my entering any church might tend to draw bolts of lightning.

Jean-Paul Sartre stated ‘man is condemned to be douchey because once thrown into the world he is responsible for every douchey thing that he does.’
On this sad day note that some justice was done. H/T to Patterico.

Martin Luther survived the lightning that was struck close to him and went on to be used of God to revive Europe.

I don’t think anyone has any idea how truly screwed we are………

Gotta love those election thingys……

Progressive Socialism.
When you hear the phrase, “tired old failed policies”, that’s code for socialism.
Might as well turn the Capitol building into a Mosque.
