Of course.

I don’t think it was noble, I think it was moral cowardice to hand effective control of the ship of state to a section of the population least fit to pilot it.

That may sound elitist, but I’d rather trust the pilot, not the passenger.

I know we’re echoing each other, but I like to hear someone else say it too. Here in NY, I feel like a total alien–as in alienated. That’s why I’m willing to consider moving to somewhere culturally unfamiliar. Might as well feel alienated in a society on the upswing. And I’ve got the futures of two young kids to consider. If not for them, I’d probably just disappear somewhere far removed from the world.

Communism was indeed left on the ash heap of history, just as Reagan predicted in his speech in the House of Commons. He lived to see the Berlin Wall coming down, just as Churchill witnessed the implosion of national-socialism.

The way things are going not only will we see the Islamification of Europe come to fruition but also witness communism’s rise from the ashes.

Obama: MENE MENE TEKEL PARSIN

I got out in late ’72, immediately after Heath sold England off to the, then, Common Market. I knew what was coming.

As for the universal franchise, I have always felt that it was the daftest idea that politics could force upon us. I don’t think it was noble, I think it was moral cowardice to hand effective control of the ship of state to a section of the population least fit to pilot it.

That may sound elitist, but I’d rather trust the pilot, not the passenger.

First of all, sorry you had to leave your homeland. I’m beginning to get a sense of what that must feel like, as the political scene here in the US is worrying me a lot. I don’t know whether socialism will be repudiated by a disastrous Obama Presidency, or whether it will take root more firmly. If it’s the latter, I’m going to look at some of the economically free but politically illiberal Asian countries. That’s because I now feel that the universal franchise, while noble, doesn’t help sustain capitalism, or freedom.

I’m in Australia, which is, now, slowly going the same way as the US. It would seem that the Right is being marginalized everywhere.

Quote of the YEAR….

Received this phone call from my U.S. Army son this evening….

He was ordered by his command to report all his civilian weapons, numbers, calibers, their exact location, their serial numbers, and if they are/are not registered.

He told them to go frak themselves and reported that he and his men own NO civilian weapons.

If HA is interested give me an e-mail and I’ll give HA the specifics for some enterprising soul(or not) to verify what I just reported.

The purpose, as told, is to prevent military suicides.

Riiiiiiightttttttt.

FRAK the Fed.

Just provide the link here, or email HA yourself please. Maybe AP or ED will miss your comment.

They are their own worst enemy and the invaders know it.

If this comes across as a bitter tirade, I have the right – my country was stolen from me by these socialist jerks.

So now we are seeing the same things here. Are you living here now? Where to go next?

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

WWII? France was almost immediately taken over by the Germans in WWI. As for the UK, maybe they are now where France was. And what about us? Maybe where the UK was prior to WWII. Some large part of it’s elties and intelligentsia were pro-Hitler and pro-fascism. Some large part of our elites are pro-evil now.

And design a test so that the ones who helped to pansify them but now are afraid don’t come here and muddy our water with their crap

It’s too bad we can’t do that with the exodus from California and other liberal hellholes.

FloatingRock on February 13, 2009 at 10:48 PM

You’re talking about sheep (most people.) What do you expect? If the wolves are stronger than the sheepdogs, the sheep succumb. The same is true here. The same is true everywhere. If European sheep move here, they will go whichever way they are led. The question is, who will succeed in leading them, our own home-grown wolves, or our sheepdogs?

Charles Johnson appears to combines the worst traits of Joe McCarthy, Anthony Fremont and a consummate dhimmi.

My, that sounds like an awfully frightening…um…blogger. You’d better start thinking happy thoughts before you get sent into the cornfield.

I am ashamed of what my country has done.
Or rather – what our Government did.
But there is a great deal of public anger about the banning of Geert Wilders – and the kowtowing to the rabble-rousing Lord Ahmed.
JohninLondon on February 14, 2009 at 5:57 AM

Well, it would be nice to see some of that public anger in the form of street demonstrations. Between the Archbishop of Canterbury, Lord Ahmed, and the outrageous Ahmedinijad Christmas message, I’m not sure what everyone is waiting for.

Passively sitting back and blaming your government will get you exactly nowhere except dhimmi status to the vocal minority.

Or rather – what our Government did.

Don’t Tell, Don’t Ask.

Given their news stream of choice – the sports page – they are woefully ignorant of what is happening around them, and even the recent dissatisfaction with the EU has more to do with an attempt by it to reduce the largesse, rather than the realization that the EU is not in their best interests.

Even the recent protests regarding jobs for the British first doesn’t hit on the real problem – lack of willingness to shoulder their own burden, even if it means going backwards for awhile. They want the wound healed without removing the infection – entitlements.

They are their own worst enemy and the invaders know it.

I agree with you 100%

It’s very scary.

Reagan’s freedom pillars are cloaked in an era of socialist darkness.

Speakup on February 14, 2009 at 1:25 AM

Yup, they’ve been replaced by Hussein’s Pillars of Progressive Socalism.

Reagan’s ‘Four Pillars of Freedom’: individual liberty, economic opportunity, global democracy and national pride.”

How is individual liberty, economic opportunity or global democracy or even national pride possible when the ‘evil empire’ is domestic liberalism?
