A Teddy Bear Named Mohammed

For the latest story in Islamic Idiocy, read the story of the schoolteacher and the Teddy Bear named Mohammed.

Personally, I think it is an insult to Teddy Bears.

David Duke's Hatesite - Friend of the Left and Radical Muslims

If you really want to make your skin crawl, visit David Duke's website. If there's anything David Duke despises, it is Jews. He hardly mentions blacks anymore. His whole gig is attacking Israel, publishing Muslim-Leftwing lies about Israel, and promoting the Islamists of the Middle East who support his anti-semitism.

Other themes on Duke's website: support the troops, bring them home now. He links to Antiwar.com, an anti-Israel, peace-at-any-price, 911-was-an-inside-job website, a website promoted by the fanatic Jason Raimondo and the kookish Michael Moore. Duke has an article claiming "Cindy Sheehan was right:" she agrees with David Duke that the Iraq war is a war for Israel's interests, not America's.

Duke's site advertises the fact the he will speak from Stormfront radio. Stormfront is a Neo-Nazi organization. It was created by former American Nazi Party member Don Black, who was also a Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan. Stormfront uses the Odin's Cross as their symbol, the abbreviated Celtic Cross discussed in a previous post to this blog - except that their Odin's Cross bears the motto "White Pride World Wide."

I was disgusted to see that Dixie Broadcasting has formed a partnership with David Duke: they will begin broadcasting Duke's radio program "The Political Cesspool." I never listened to Dixie Broadcasting, in spite of my Confederate roots. Somehow I didn't trust them and now I know why.

One of the most illuminating aspects of the Klan/Nazi connection is the fact that it supports extreme leftwing causes - not conservative ones. This evil collaboration supports the "Palestinians" and opposes Israel, opposes the war on radical Islam and celebrates extreme leftists like Cindy Sheehan. Another telling point that is not in their favor: they support and promote the blooming nutcase known as Ron Paul, who is running for President as a Republican.

How to Save the Planet: Terminate Humans

The Daily Mail has a story of women who have sterilized themselves to "save our precious planet." They won't have children because it causes a larger "carbon footprint." One airhead named Tony Vernelli explained: "Every person who is born uses more food, more water, more land, more fossil fuels, more trees and produces more rubbish, more pollution, more greenhouse gases, and adds to the problem of over-population."

Such a mindset seems so typical of the anti-human, self-hating, death-wishing liberal Left. The "planet" is more important than human life itself. We should all commit hari-kiri to save the whales. Hmm, now there's an idea for liberals to consider. How about it Tony? Want to show us just how "responsible" you really are, how much you really "love" the planet? If humans are the cause of planet destruction, why stop at the termination of future generations? Why not start with this one?

The Mail article has a photo of Vernelli grinning proudly, as if she were some courageous hero instead of an eco-fanatic freak.

Earth to Tony: The earth, and everything in it, is useless except for the benefit it provides to human beings. Without humans, the planet might as well fall into ths sun and be consumed.

This story illustrates well the Left's version of religion. Mankind is evil, the "planet" a kind of god to which the former should be sacrificed. These people are very, very sick indeed. The only "carbon footprint" they need is one imprinted on their asses.

Chicken Little School Says Humans Destroying the Universe

A couple of American scientists have suggested that humans are "shortening the life of the universe." Apparently the Quantum theory holds that we can change things simply by looking at them. So when astronomers get out their telescopes and look at, say, the rings around Saturn, then they are somehow screwing up the Big Bang of the Universe. Or something like that.

Here's what they claim:

....quantum theory says that whenever we observe or measure
something, we could stop it decaying due what is what is called the "quantum
Zeno effect," which suggests that if an "observer" makes repeated, quick
observations of a microscopic object undergoing change, the object can stop
changing - just as a watched kettle never boils.

Gee, now all I have to do is look in the mirror several times a day and I can stop aging! Whoopee! I can live forever! Ain't science wonderful?

Well I have some scientific theories of my own. The moon, being made of green cheese, goes nicely with green Ritz crackers and a little white wine. And just as a watched kettle never boils, a boil never watches a kettle. This is the Stogie Quantum Theory of Boiling Kettles. I need a few billion more bucks in government grants so I can study this further, preferably smoking a Cohiba from a sidewalk cafe somewhere in the Left Bank.

Ah, Scientists! What a bunch of fucking morons.

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving dates back to the very beginnings of this country when sustenance had to be forced from the soil by hand or hunted. For the early Americans, Thanksgiving was a celebration of survival in a harsh new world.

The spirit of those early days lives on. It is well illustrated by Michelle Malkin's Thanksgiving post, "Stop Before You Gripe." Do read it.

Global Warming Stops Snow Fall Across Europe!

NOT!

Read the worldwide snow report. It shows that it is now snowing like crazy across Europe. Why is there so much snow? Global Warming. Of course.

SNOW NEWS UPDATED 15 NOVEMBER 2007
INTRODUCTION It has been an amazing week for snowfall across Europe. Austria has received the most but the snow has started to move across into the more western countries of Europe. Val Thorens and Alpe d Huez in France have received enough snow to enable them to open earlier than expected on this coming Saturday. A few resorts in Switzerland are scheduled to open for skiing at the weekends before they fully open on a daily basis. There is also good news in Italy as Cortina and Passo Tonale will open for the winter season on Saturday. Heavy snow has continued to fall across Canada. Read the whole thing.

Now go read the idiotic UN report and slideshow on how the planet is hurtling towards a global warming diaster and have yourself a good laugh.

Infidel Bloggers Alliance Kicks Butt

If you have been following the Velaams Belang and Swedish Party controversy, you owe it to yourself to read Infidel Bloggers Alliance. Lately there are a log of good posts there that shed light on facts to be considered. I need to put this blog in my "Must Read" links and I will do that this weekend.

The head guy there is Pastorius, one of most informed bloggers in the anti-Jihad movement and a man of integrity. He has been a great friend to me since I started blogging.

Al Gore Proven Right - Global Warming Heats Up South America!

No, wait a minute, I had that wrong. South America is having its coldest weather in 90 years.

Well obviously, you right wing fanatics, these freezing temperatures are caused by Global Warming, and man-made GW at that. This is called the Gore Inversion Effect, i.e when Global Warming really gets hot, we get freezing temperatures. Up is down and right is wrong. You fools!

Fjordman, Former Lizard, Defends the Sweden Party

The big blog debate over neo-Nazis in the anti-jihad movement continues unabated. A Scandinavian conservative, Fjordman, gives a powerful rebuttal to Charles Johnson's views at the Gates of Vienna. Do read it.

I remain of an open mind in this debate. Though I tend to agree with Johnson, I am by no means convinced that European conservative movements are seriously tainted by extremists of the Right. Indeed, Fjordman makes a convincing argument that the European right is strongly pro-Israel and antagonistic towards anti-Semitism in Europe. Also, there are many bloggers whom I greatly respect who agree with Fjordman.

A Seven Day Work Week - In Vain

Crap, I just worked a seven day work week and was looking forward to a nice big paycheck. But this morning my car dealer told me my tires and brakes are shot and he will be enjoying my fat paycheck, not me. But at least my car will get me to work where I can work like a mad fool to maybe pay my property tax bill on December 10. Oh well.

I love the cold weather we are having in the Bay Area. I like this time of year.

I bought myself a conversational French audio course from Amazon. It's called "Smart French." No, that is not an oxymoron! I am going to be fluent in French and that's all there is to it.

It's a Jihad Christmas, Charley Brown!

Leave it to Charley Brown to find a way to incorporate Islamic traditions into Christmas! Now everyone is happy.

Larry Auster Challenges Charles Johnson of LGF

Larry Auster of View From the Right is a powerful thinker and writer. I don't always agree with him, but I respect his ability to think critically and logically. He has his own take on the recent effort of Little Green Footballs to out Velaams Belaang as a racist group. Auster quotes several of his readers who think Charles Johnson is becoming too intolerant of LGF members who disagree with him. I have heard this criticism from others as well, that the LGF members (which currently include me) are merely an echo chamber for Charles Johnson, and LGF a kind of online personality cult.

There may be some truth to this and Charles should take care to avoid this impression. Other online conservatives like David Horowitz have a thick skin for honest dissent and that enhances their credibility instead of diminishing it. My impression of LGF is that there are members there who challenge or disagree with Charles Johnson without getting kicked off. There are others who are slavish butt-kissers who, if Charles declared the world to be flat, would "turn on a dime" and become flat-earthers. I can never be a yes-man to anyone. I agree with Charles Johnson maybe 90% of the time and that will have to do. On the other hand, Charles does kick off trolls and liberals who sign up just to annoy the other members. I don't have a problem with that. LGF is not primarily a debating society and I wouldn't have joined if it were.

Online personality cults do exist. Free Republic is definitely one of them, and as a result, has lost a lot of credibility over the past 2 or 3 years. The owner of that site regularly boots off anyone who dissents with his specific beliefs and has roving sheriffs who flag any messages not adhering strictly to his party line. I got kicked off for disagreeing with some member over the causes of the American Civil War. This, in spite of the fact that I agreed with most Free Republic members about discussion topics about 90% of the time. As a result, I do not frequent Free Republic, read it, consult it, or link to it. I think the owner of that site is a flaming jerk. If you want to remain an active member of Free Republic, be sure to kiss the owner's ass publicly, slavishly and often.

However, that is not to say a website can't have reasonable rules, the infraction of which could get you banned. Michelle Malkin's Terms of Use are reasonable. There are legal liability reasons for her terms of use. She doesn't want to get sued if you slander, libel or threaten someone. This is fine. She says "In short, you’re my guest here. I welcome your participation, but if you abuse my hospitality, don’t be surprised if you are shown the door."

Race: Much Ado About Nothing; the Celtic Cross

Little Green Footballs during the past week had a huge debate going about whether the European political group known as Velaans Belaang was a white supremacist group. It seems VB wants to keep Europe white. Charles Johnson posted a couple of videos from VB, one of which was a skit of a European family discussing Turkish immigration to Europe. I couldn't understand the Flemish (a dialect of Dutch that is spoken in Belgium) but I could understand the subtitles in French. The message of the video seemed entirely reasonable to me, that Turkish immigration into Europe should be restricted.

However, at the end of the video the camera focuses on a Celtic Cross sitting in a bookshelf, and the focus was obviously intended to convey a message. As someone of Celtic lineage, i.e Irish, Welsh, I like the Celtic Cross, which is a Christian cross with a halo around it (see photo at right). However, a version of the Celtic Cross has been adopted as a white power symbol. The White Power symbol differs from the traditional Celtic Cross in that it does not have a long base on the cross and resembles a plus sign with a halo (see photo below, left).

The cross in the VB video was the plus sign. And that is not a good sign. For that reason, I agree with Charles that we should not seek association with Velaams Belang, even though they are ostensibly in agreement with us about Muslim immigration and Islamic evil. Any association with white power groups is a death sentence to any movement. Such an association will never attract large numbers of sympathizers or followers.

However, I am not in sympathy with PC movements that demonize any casual comment or innocent remark that a particular racial group finds offensive. A case in point is the ridiculous recent brouhaha over Don Imus's silly comment about "nappy headed hos," which was intended to be cool and cutting edge, even though it was in bad taste. He was fired from his long standing radio show and, like Jimmy the Greek and others who voiced clumsy comments on race, demonized beyond belief. Such practices only foster a paranoid hypersensitivity in excitable people and do nothing to further genuine racial harmony or understanding.

We should reject the message of real racists who want to deny people equal rights on the basis of skin color or nationality. But this is not the same thing as wanting to stop immigration of those who do not share our cultural beliefs in pluralism and tolerance. One cannot promote tolerance by promoting intolerant groups, whether they be potentially violent, undemocratic Muslims or white power organizations.

The Future of Saber Point

I am not satisfied with my progress here at Blogger. I am thinking of redesigning my site or moving it altogether. But where? I will decide that all in good time.

In any case, it's time for a change.

I would like to think all of my regular readers, both of them, actually, for their support.
