Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
Pakistan? No. Britain! If the British government, under PM Cameron is serious about cutting down the multiculturalism monster, this is a good place to start. Old multi-culti pieties prevented British institutions from daring to criticize the Muslims amongst them. A serious commitment to Western values would mean cracking down on
Continue readingThe Archbishopric of Canterbury used to be a pretty important job. The guy who held that position, going back to the earliest Middle Ages, was the premier leader of the English church, whether that church gave allegiance to Rome or the British Monarch. The current Archbishop, Rowan Williams is, as
Continue readingI’d like to think this is a joke, but modern Britain being modern Britain, I’m actually sure it’s not. One can only hope that at least some people will give the correct response to such an intrusive, inappropriate question: “Bugger off!” Are you straight or gay? Police and nurses to
Continue readingThirty years ago, I went to England through my university’s junior year abroad program. Although I had visions of walking across Cambridge’s or Oxford’s sun-dappled lawns, I actually ended up in the north of England. My disappointment swiftly turned to pleasure when I discovered that the north of England was
Continue readingIt turns out that the young man who hung on the Union Jack flag in order to climb a cenotaph dedicated to the dead of WWI, a cenotaph that has inscribed on it in large letters “the glorious dead,” has apologized, claiming he knew not what he did. Hogwash. First
Continue readingIn past posts, I’ve noted that it isn’t surprising that British women are converting in surprisingly high numbers to Islam. In a secularized, socialized, de-moralized Britain (and, by de-moralized, I mean a place remarkably free of traditional morality), the women are pickled in alcohol, and encouraged to have sex at
Continue readingYes, you read that post caption correctly. British Liberal Democrat Jenny Tonge, in a speech in the House of Lords, claims that terrorism around the world is Israel’s fault, because Israel treats the Palestinian’s badly: On the issue of world conflict prevention, Tonge then said: “It is a disgrace to
Continue readingWhen I studied in England, I did so using money I’d saved from a decade of work (starting when I was ten). I took care of neighbor’s houses, mowed their lawns, babysat their kids, cleaned their cars, etc. I had a goal and I worked to pay for it. I
Continue readingMohammed is the most popular name for new baby boys. And women, left by their own nation with a spiritual and moral vacuum, and a rare choice of dangerous and demeaning behaviors vis a vis sex, drink and drugs, are converting to Islam in large numbers.
Continue readingMy post caption is an exaggeration, but what’s frightening is that it’s only a slight exaggeration, as a government committee really does advise banning meat as part of its push to reduce greenhouse gases. Right now, it advices using government manipulation to ban these products, but you just know brute
Continue readingA couple of weeks ago, I ranted about the way bureaucracies are relentless in pursuit of some imaginary perfection. My focus was health care, but I noted that bureaucracies will always keep going, trying to nail every detail down, so much so that life becomes impossible. Britain perfectly proves my
Continue readingThe British government has proposed stealth communism: all paychecks go to the government first, which then doles out to the wage earner whatever amount the government feels is the wage earner’s due. Think about it. As Pat Sajak wrote yesterday, withholding is bad enough, because it deprives the worker of
Continue readingWhen I lived in England many, many moons ago, I met an English student who had spent the previous summer working, very, very hard, at the local zoo. The highlight of his work day was driving around the little kiddy train, and even that wasn’t much fun. He spent the
Continue readingSeveral years ago, my family and I visited Pompeii, which is one of the most wondrous tourist destinations in the world. To maximize our experience, we hired a highly recommended guide who walked us over the grounds, explaining everything before us. This guide’s particular passion was plumbing. He had no
Continue readingIn 1931, Nancy Langhorne Astor’s son Robert Gould Shaw III was arrested for committing a homosexual act (in a park, I believe). This was a continuation of a long-standing British public policy of prosecuting “sodomists.” Arguably the most famous prosecution was that against Oscar Wilde, for public indecency. The trial,
