Erick Erickson Disappoints on Honest Discussion About Race #Redstate #ErickErickson

We all know that progressives and leftists have a hair-pin trigger regarding racial questions.  Say the wrong word, express the wrong sentiment, and you face severe social ostracism and professional ruin.  Any implication that black people are different from other races, other than in skin color, results in paroxysms of outrage and moral posturing.  However, this knee-jerk reaction is not limited to left wing moonbats; many conservatives suffer from this neurological malady as well.  In my opinion, Erick Erickson of Redstate.com is one of them.

Erickson still insists that the GOP made a mistake in not removing Steve Scalise from his committee position.   This in spite of Scalise's total exoneration of false accusations of racism.  To refresh your memory, Scalise spoke at a Civic Organization many years ago, along with other speakers, on such benign topics as neighborhood watch, how to give CPR and (for Scalise) a tax bill winding through the Louisiana legislature.   Unknown to Scalise, the  hotel meeting room where he spoke was used later that day by an alleged white supremacist group, thereby infecting Scalise with racism by osmosis.  In truth, the dubious attempt to slander Scalise is a typical act of Democrat bad faith.  It's called "guilt by association," an old and unethical strategy to smear one's opponents.  Erickson, however, appears too obtuse to see through it.

Now Erickson has found a new soapbox on which to pose and posture, that of  Dave Agema, a Republican congressman from Michigan.  Dave Agema republished a post from American Renaissance, an online newsletter that I link to (see left sidebar), that has caused liberal Republicans and faux conservatives like Erickson to hyperventilate and do a convincing imitation of the Southern Poverty Law Center.   The article was unflattering to criminal blacks.  Hell, TRUTH is unflattering to criminal blacks.

The article that Agema linked to was written by a public defender, a self-described liberal Democrat.  The article is called Confessions of a Public Defender.  The author describes the behavior and attitudes of blacks that he has represented at trial, as well as those of other racial groups he has served.  His descriptions and conclusions are highly credible and believable, especially if one has read Colin Flaherty's recent book, White Girl Bleed a Lot.

Erickson is now advocating that Agema be removed from his committee post for republishing that article.  His post "The Question on Dave Agema is Not Difficult," tells why.  Ironically, the post is right above another Erickson post titled  "New York Times Endorses Thought Crimes."  Hypocritical much, Erick?

Honest discussions about race are likely to put blacks in a bad light (all those nasty crime statistics, mob violence, incarceration rates, knockout games and such).  Therefore, anyone who wants to discuss black dysfunction will be slandered from here to Hoboken.  Black people, after all, are only white people with dark skin -- a notion that I abandoned after the O.J. verdict in 1995.

To be sure, there are many black people who think and act civilly and intelligently, and are a credit to society.  However, the black underclass is a major problem for society, and those problems should be discussed openly, not suppressed for partisan political reasons.

Erickson states:

On his Facebook page Agema asserts the inferiority of blacks, that they cannot control their impulses, and that they cannot reason.

Erickson is wrong.  Agema did not assert "inferiority," and the comment on impulse control and reasoning ability is that of the public defender who is quoted, not Agema.  The public defender wrote:

However, my experience has also taught me that blacks are different by almost any measure to all other people. They cannot reason as well. They cannot communicate as well. They cannot control their impulses as well. They are a threat to all who cross their paths, black and non-black alike.

I do not know the solution to this problem. I do know that it is wrong to deceive the public. Whatever solutions we seek should be based on the truth rather than what we would prefer was the truth [Emphasis added for Erickson's benefit].  As for myself, I will continue do my duty to protect the rights of all who need me.

Possibly one of the dumbest things Erickson wrote in his hit piece is the assertion that

The Party of Lincoln should abide no person who cites Klansmen and no person who asserts that black citizens are inferior.

Such egregious moral posing and posturing is truly reprehensible.   With Republicans like Erickson, who needs Democrats?  However, let us see what Lincoln actually did say about blacks vs whites:

I have no purpose to introduce political and social equality between the white and black races. There is physical difference between the two which, in my judgment, will probably forever forbid their living together upon the footing of perfect equality, and inasmuch as it becomes a necessity that there must be a difference, I, as well as Judge Douglas, am in favor of the race to which I belong having the superior position.

And Lincoln also said this:

Our republican system was meant for a homogeneous people. As long as blacks continue to live with the whites they constitute a threat to the national life. Family life may also collapse and the increase of mixed breed bastards may some day challenge the supremacy of the white man.

Lincoln's comments were truly outrageous.  We should strip him of his Party credentials as well.  And give a big horse laugh to Erick Erickson, whose ignorance of history (and race) is appalling.

Back from Cataract Surgery: I Can SEE!

On Tuesday, January 13, I had cataract surgery on my right eye.  For the past couple of days following the surgery, I have been resting and recuperating.  I opted to have the right eye done first, as it was my worst eye, almost useless for years.  I could see out of the eye, but my vision was noticeably blurrier and darker than that of my left eye.  I relied on my left eye to get around.

I have been preparing for the surgery for several weeks, putting prescribed drops in my eye, planning which motel to stay in the night before my 6:45 AM appointment at the vision clinic.  When I found myself laying on a hospital bed that was being pushed through halls and rooms, the overhead lights whizzing by, I knew the time had finally arrived.  Then I was pushed under a white machine and suddenly felt some anxiety.  Preparation time is over, this is it!  My eye, my vision, my sight are in the hands of strangers.  Hope they know what the hell they're doing.

The doctor put drops in my eye, then put a gizmo into my eye that prevents me from blinking and closing the eye.  Intense light is then beamed into the eye; tears slide from my eye, but I can't blink or escape the light.  I see a ring of black dots as a laser is lowered onto my eye, and I hear the clack clack clack of it cutting through the cornea.  "Looks great," the doc says and my bed moves again, to a different room and machine.  Now I stare at a red dot with more clack clack clacking.  The doctor is destroying my natural lens, sucking it out somehow.  Next, he floats an artificial lens over my eyeball and somehow pokes it into place.  He closes the cornea flap and tapes gauze and an eye patch over my eye.  I'm done.  It took ten minutes, didn't hurt much at all, and doesn't hurt hardly at all, now that it's over.

The next morning I visit the doctor in his office for a followup.  The nurse takes the eye patch off.  I wait until it is all stripped away before opening my eye.  And there's the world!  I can see.  I check the difference between my right and left eyes by putting my palm over one, and then the other.  It is obvious that my right eye is now far better than my untreated left.  The right has sharper focus and white appears white, not white with a yellowish tinge, as with my left eye.

The doctor tells me the eye will get better over the next few days, as it heals.  I am thrilled!  I have no longer any need of glasses for the right eye, and I opt not to wear my glasses at all.  I can see that well.

I am impatient to have the left eye repaired next.  Due to the tax season starting, it will probably have to wait until after April 15.

"FAR RIGHT" = THE NEW "SANE" #PEGIDA #UKIP #FN #Islamic

In the suicidal mainstream media, any European political movement is "Far Right" if it opposes Islamic immigration and Islamization.

Why "Far" right?  Is common sense and a desire for self-preservation "extreme" positions?  Is it unreasonable or irrational to fear being beheaded, shot, stabbed or blown up by Muslim immigrants?

No.  It's a no-brainer.  Muslims kill people.  All Muslims?  No, just the devoted ones who follow their own scriptures and the example of their "prophet."

What is extreme is an immigration policy that will replace Western civilization with 7th Century barbarism, backwardness and tyranny.  It is both rational and reasonable that Europeans are beginning to resist the national suicide imposed by their delusional rulers.  The mass murder of 12 French journalists this week was the "fire bell in the night"needed to awaken the European masses.  Meanwhile, Muslims throughout the Middle East celebrated the murders with hugs and sweets, once again demonstrating the vicious nature of Islamic culture and its anti-human values.

Some of the resistance movements include U.K.'s Britain First Party and the UK Independence Party (UKIP).  France has the French National Front.  Now Germany has an anti-Islamization movement growing in numbers.  It is called PEGIDA, which stands for  "Patriotic Europeans Against the Islamisation of the Occident," in German.  Germany's Chancellor, Angela Merkel, denounced PEGIDA saying that they "had hate in their hearts."  If that be so, I am with them, for I too have hate in my heart:  I hate Islam, just as I hate Communism and Fascism.  All three ideologies have caused the murders of  millions, and Islam outstrips the latter two by a large amount.

The true "extremists" are those who don't hate such evil, but instead invite it in, give it aid and comfort, rationalize it and defend it.  They must be opposed and they must be stopped.

Why We MUST Blasphemy Islam: Russ Douthat of NY Times Tells Why #CharlieHedbo #jesuischarlie

Russ Douthat's essay in the New York Times, "The Blasphemy We Need," is a must-read article.  It clarifies better than any other why "blasphemy" is sometimes a courageous act that serves a free society's greater good.  He writes:

...some of the images (anti-Islamic and otherwise) Charlie Hebdo engaged in had deadly consequences, as everyone knew it could … and that kind of blasphemy is precisely the kind that needs to be defended, because it’s the kind that clearly serves a free society’s greater good. If a large enough group of someones is willing to kill you for saying something, then it’s something that almost certainly needs to be said, because otherwise the violent have veto power over liberal civilization, and when that scenario obtains it isn’t really a liberal civilization any more. Again, liberalism doesn’t depend on everyone offending everyone else all the time, and it’s okay to prefer a society where offense for its own sake is limited rather than pervasive. But when offenses are policed by murder, that’s when we need more of them, not less, because the murderers cannot be allowed for a single moment to think that their strategy can succeed.

Muslims Need to Know: We Will NEVER Stop Mocking the "Prophet" Who Ordered Our Deaths #CharlieHedbo

Muhammad Meets His Maker

Note:  This is a reprint of a blog post I made back in October of 2012.  I am reprinting it now because it is very relevant to this week's Muslim atrocities in Paris, France.

Reflecting Light blog has referenced an article on a huge Muslim protest going on in London.  The Muslims there are protesting and picketing Google's London headquarters, demanding that Google remove the YouTube video "The Innocence of Muslims."  That film, they say, mocks their glorious prophet, Muhammad.  Indeed it does, and indeed it must remain.  Western freedom of speech takes priority over any and all religions, and it is more important when it addresses Islam.

Approximately 1,450 years ago, Muhammad pledged war on all mankind, at the Pledge of Aquaba.  All humans on earth would convert to Islam, or be killed or enslaved if they did not convert.  Those who became Muslims would live under a brutal ideology with little empathy for human suffering, and absolutely no tolerance for individual liberty.

In early times, Muslims invaded and conquered many Christian countries, including Greece and Spain, and forced their populations to convert.  The Muslims have also been aggressive towards Hindus, killing millions of them as well.  This aggression has reawakened in recent years, and once again Muslims are attacking us "infidels."

911, the London and Spain bombings, the mass murders in Beslan, Mumbai and Fort Hood, are the worst of recent Muslim mass murder, but there are many other smaller attacks and failed attempts (See here and here).  And when Muslims aren't killing non-Muslims, they are busy killing each other, all in the name of their religion.

We see Islam as a death cult.  Its mission is mass murder.  Almost no one is safe in the west these days, and for that reason we cannot and will not stop mocking Muhammad and the religion that he created.  We simply cannot offer any respect, reverence or credibility to a religion whose goal is to kill us or conquer us.  We must constantly show our contempt for Islam because of the evil deeds it does daily, and to retard its growth, cause doubts in its believers and awaken westerners to the threat.  We must, because if we do not, then death or dhimmitude will be our lot, and we acquiesce in our own demise.

Make no mistake, we don't care what religion anyone practices, as long as it is peaceful and tolerant of differing views.  We do not attack Buddhism, Hinduism, Shinto or Sikhism; we do not mock these religions or their prophets or equivalents.  We say "go in peace, and may God be with you."  The only reason why we attack Islam and its prophet is because they are a mortal threat to us, and to all followers of other faiths.

I don't see any way out of this conflict, except for Muslims and non-Muslims to live separately and apart, in separate societies.  Once the Islamic threat is lessened to a significant degree, the mocking of Islam will decline naturally.  In any case, we will never allow any laws to be passed that restrict our freedom of speech and our ongoing criticism of Islam and its prophet.  We will fight before we allow that to happen.  So protest and picket until you are blue in the face; it will be of no avail.

Two Good Muslim Terrorists: They're Dead

French authorities tracked the two Charlie Hedbo murderers to an abandoned warehouse, then killed them.  Another scumbag, an associate of the first two, entered a kosher market to take hostages in support of his comrades, and was also killed.  Unfortunately, four of the hostages were killed as well.

Europeans are beginning to learn the folly of their immigration laws, and the danger of admitting millions of Muslims into their country.

Not all Muslims are terrorists, but many more support these terrorists in various ways, some by financial support, some by moral support, and others by refusing to condemn terrorism and jihad.  The problem is not necessarily bad people, it is bad ideology.  Islam teaches that killing infidels is mandatory, that armed aggression against non-Muslim communities is imperative.  The danger is that many peaceful Muslims may later become more religious, and read their holy texts, then opt to follow their commandments for murder.  And, if they do not, there is a high probability that some of their offspring will.

In one of the Haddiths, Muhammed was described as saying that jihad was the highest virtue.  If a Muslim does not die in jihad, that is, making war on non-believers, his chances of going to Heaven were only one in one thousand.  True believers, therefore, can be expected to murder people of other faiths -- and the history of Islam has proven this to be true, with millions murdered since Muhammad gave his commandments.

The lesson is clear:  Islam is incompatible with western values, and should be largely excluded from our nations.  No practicing Muslim should ever be allowed to immigrate into a western country.

I Am Charlie Hedbo #JeSuisCharlie

The above caption is being exhibited throughout Paris and France today.  It means "I Am Charlie."  We infidels are all Charlie Hedbo.  We are all the victims of 911, of London, Madrid, Beslan, Mumbai, Fort Hood, Boston, Benghazi, Nairobi and now Paris.

However, slogans and solidarity with victims and candlelight vigils are all well and good, but not nearly enough.  To prevent Islamic mass murder, we must isolate ourselves from this despicable religion, by ending their immigration into the west, and by banning Islam for the violent and seditious force that it is.

RE MURDER OF HEDBO CREW: SCREW THE PROPHET: ISLAM IS TERRORISM; BAN ISLAM NOW! #Islam #Terrorism #Hedbo

The Depiction of Muhammad That
Resulted in Mass Murder by Muslims

Muslim gunmen have attacked the Paris offices of Charlie Hedbo and murdered twelve people there.  This was in revenge for Hedbo's satirical depiction of the false prophet in its magazine in the fall of 2011 (see picture at left).  I printed the cover of Charlie Hedbo then and urged solidarity with its editors and writers, in defense of freedom of speech and freedom from Muslim mass murder.  See it here.

The leaders of western Europe have had their heads up their asses for years, allowing millions of these murderous barbarians to immigrate.  The slow and steady erosion of western freedoms has been the result, along with the occasional terrorist attack and murder of the host country's citizens.  Today's murder of twelve French citizens is just another one in a long line of atrocities.

Whatever idiocy led these leaders to adopt such immigration policies, it is way past time to call a halt.  Islam in Europe must be banned, because ISLAM IS TERRORISM,   ISLAM IS MASS MURDER.  It brings much harm and little if any good to the nations it infests.

This week illustrates the idiocy of allowing Muslim immigration.  The moronic leader of Germany, Angela Merkel, chastised a growing group of German citizens who have been marching and protesting the Islamization of their country.  Resistance groups are also active in the U.K. and France, though heavily censored and harassed by the establishment.  Incidents like this latest murder will cause such movements to grow.  We need to welcome and support these resistance groups, both spiritually and financially.  With regard to Islamization of YOUR country, I have one word of advice:  RESIST.

Some observations and opinions:

• Every time Muslim immigrants murder citizens of western nations, the leaders of those nations are as guilty as the gunmen.  This is especially true for traitors like Angela Merkel, David Cameron, and François Hollande, the leaders of Germany, the U.K. and France, respectively.

• Every time a Muslim atrocity occurs against the citizens of a western nation, one mosque should be bulldozed in return.  

• Muslim perpetrators of these atrocities should be hanged, and their corpses incinerated.  They should not be allowed any religious rites nor buried according to Islamic traditions.

The solution to this immigration insanity is what Dutch politician Geert Wilders had been advocating for some time:  all Muslim immigration into the west must be stopped, and those Muslims already here encouraged to leave.  Building of mosques should be prohibited.  To that I would add, any and all tax advantages for being a "religion" should be ended at once.

Post the Hedbo depiction of the FALSE PROPHET (above) on your blog now to show solidarity with the murdered Hedbo staff and AGAINST Islam. 

The time for rationalizing this deadly ideology is over.  The time for liberal posing and posturing in defense of monstrous barbarians is finished.  ISLAM MUST BE BANNED in the western nations.  Let the deportations begin! 

The Islamization of Europe

A very disturbing disaster-in-the-making is the ongoing Islamization of Europe. By Islamization, I mean:

1. Allowing millions of Muslims to immigrate into European countries;
2. Providing public subsidies of Mosque building therein;
3. Providing public support (welfare) for many of those Mulsim immigrants;
4. Forcing majority acceptance of unsavory Muslim practices, such as polygamy, wife-beating, Sharia law, burquas and veils, Halal slaughter and Muslim enclaves (no-go zones);
5. Appeasement of the Muslim immigrants by suppressing crosses, piggy banks, beer and wine, music stores, dogs and signs about bacon;
6. Restrictions on free speech, where Brits, French citizens, Italian citizens, Swedes and Danish citizens are fined or imprisoned (or both) for critically speaking about, writing about, tweeting about, blogging about, or otherwise objecting to Islamic practices and immigrant behavior.

Note that in these countries, truth is not a defense in voicing criticisms or concerns.  Some recent examples of European (and American) support for Islamization:

• French citizens are heavily fined for objecting to Islamization.  See Moonbattery's listing of details.
• German Journalist Michael Stürzenberger Fined 1200 Euros for Criticizing Islam.  See here for details.
• Danish Woman Guilty of Racism for Criticizing Islam -- See this link.
• Germany’s Silencing of Islam Critics --  See this link.
• Censorship, "Mental Illness" Overrun France -- See this link.
• And, even in America:  MAINE FINES GROUP FOR CRITICIZING ISLAM -- See this link.

Western Civilization appears intent on committing cultural suicide.  The mass importation of a barbaric, intolerant, hostile and unassimilable culture, while protecting it from criticism by Draconian means, is truly disturbing.  The question is, how do we fight this Islamization?  How do we reverse it?

New Year Thoughts: Happy 2015!

Two-thousand fifteen has a nice ring to it.  Many of us feel hopeful on the first day of the year.  Maybe this year will be better than the last.  Maybe not.

The political problems seem severe:  the worst race relations in decades.  Riots, the knock-out game, widespread wildings of young blacks, the hateful anti-police movement -- all worry me.

The good news includes falling gasoline prices, a shot in the arm to the economy, and the fact that a Republican majority will preside over both the Senate and the House.  The odious Harry Reid will no longer be Senate Majority Leader.

For the past four weeks I have been applying for jobs with various tax preparation firms, and was offered a job by two different CPA firms just this week.  The pay rate offered is reasonable and will pay some bills.  My economic situation will be a big improvement over the past six years.  I accepted a job with a firm in Campbell, California and look forward to the tax season.

Here is wishing all conservatives a happy and prosperous New Year!
