BILL WHITTLE ON WHY CONSERVATISM SUCKS.

ANDREW BREITBART AND DANIEL HANNAN AT CPAC 2012.

Two must see videos. First Andrew Breitbart:





A guy to follow.


Then Daniel Hannan:





Over here in Europe, watching these videos gives me a glimmer of hope. How great is to hear people loudly and proudly proclaim that they are Conservatives!

Unthinkable here in Europe without being ridiculed and demonized! In Belgium, ONLY ONE party more or less approaches the American ideal and that is, of course, the Vlaams Belang.

The degree to which the general population has been spoonfed the age old tantrums about the VB being 'extreme right', 'undemocratic' and 'a descendant of nazism' is astonishing. Just last week I found myself discussing Belgian politics with a sales representative, who I always considered an intelligent, decent and rational human being. It of course turned around the massive new taxes the new Belgian government has introduced, thereby immediately sending shudders through the entire Belgian economy.

How curious was it to hear this man, halfway through the discussion in which he actually agreed with me that this was a fullblooded leftwing government implementing age-old methods that have always proven NOT to work, refer to the Vlaams Belang as being a 'nondemocratic party'!

But why should I be so surprised? After all, all my life I have heard our state-funded media refer to all other parties than the VB as being the 'democratic parties'! As if the VB and its predecessor the Vlaams Blok, which exist solely because they have people voting for them, are somehow political groupuscules from some faraway South American dictatorship where power comes out of the barrel of a gun.

Anyone meeting with today's VB leadership, and reading its very decent and informative party magazine, or its website for that matter, will see firsthand that the decadelong allegations of the VB being a party of closet nazis are so utterly baseless and ridiculous that you would burst out laughing, were it not that it is so tragic.

Anyway...

... we must carry on, bide our time, and be ready for the fight when all hell brakes loose. In the meantime, we must take heart that our cousins from over the Atlantic still enjoy the privilege and the pleasure of being simply and unapologetically....


...RIGHTWING.

ISLAMIC RELIGIOUS PERSECUTION GLOBALLY AT AN ALL-TIME HIGH, WORLD YAWNS.

Over at The Daily Beast, a compelling article by Ayaan Hirsi Ali:

Ayaan Hirsi Ali:THE GLOBAL WAR ON CHRISTIANS IN THE MUSLIM WORLD
Feb 6, 2012 12:00 AM EST
From one end of the muslim world to the other, Christians are being murdered for their faith.


"We hear so often about Muslims as victims of abuse in the West and combatants in the Arab Spring’s fight against tyranny. But, in fact, a wholly different kind of war is underway—an unrecognized battle costing thousands of lives. Christians are being killed in the Islamic world because of their religion. It is a rising genocide that ought to provoke global alarm.


The portrayal of Muslims as victims or heroes is at best partially accurate. In recent years the violent oppression of Christian minorities has become the norm in Muslim-majority nations stretching from West Africa and the Middle East to South Asia and Oceania. In some countries it is governments and their agents that have burned churches and imprisoned parishioners. In others, rebel groups and vigilantes have taken matters into their own hands, murdering Christians and driving them from regions where their roots go back centuries.

The media’s reticence on the subject no doubt has several sources. One may be fear of provoking additional violence. Another is most likely the influence of lobbying groups such as the Organization of Islamic Cooperation—a kind of United Nations of Islam centered in Saudi Arabia—and the Council on American-Islamic Relations. Over the past decade, these and similar groups have been remarkably successful in persuading leading public figures and journalists in the West to think of each and every example of perceived anti-Muslim discrimination as an expression of a systematic and sinister derangement called “Islamophobia”—a term that is meant to elicit the same moral disapproval as xenophobia or homophobia.

But a fair-minded assessment of recent events and trends leads to the conclusion that the scale and severity of Islamophobia pales in comparison with the bloody Christophobia currently coursing through Muslim-majority nations from one end of the globe to the other. The conspiracy of silence surrounding this violent expression of religious intolerance has to stop. Nothing less than the fate of Christianity—and ultimately of all religious minorities—in the Islamic world is at stake.





From blasphemy laws to brutal murders to bombings to mutilations and the burning of holy sites, Christians in so many nations live in fear. In Nigeria many have suffered all of these forms of persecution. The nation has the largest Christian minority (40 percent) in proportion to its population (160 million) of any majority-Muslim country. For years, Muslims and Christians in Nigeria have lived on the edge of civil war. Islamist radicals provoke much if not most of the tension. The newest such organization is an outfit that calls itself Boko Haram, which means “Western education is sacrilege.” Its aim is to establish Sharia in Nigeria. To this end it has stated that it will kill all Christians in the country.

In the month of January 2012 alone, Boko Haram was responsible for 54 deaths. In 2011 its members killed at least 510 people and burned down or destroyed more than 350 churches in 10 northern states. They use guns, gasoline bombs, and even machetes, shouting “Allahu akbar” (“God is great”) while launching attacks on unsuspecting citizens. They have attacked churches, a Christmas Day gathering (killing 42 Catholics), beer parlors, a town hall, beauty salons, and banks. They have so far focused on killing Christian clerics, politicians, students, policemen, and soldiers, as well as Muslim clerics who condemn their mayhem. While they started out by using crude methods like hit-and-run assassinations from the back of motorbikes in 2009, the latest AP reports indicate that the group’s recent attacks show a new level of potency and sophistication.

The Christophobia that has plagued Sudan for years takes a very different form. The authoritarian government of the Sunni Muslim north of the country has for decades tormented Christian and animist minorities in the south. What has often been described as a civil war is in practice the Sudanese government’s sustained persecution of religious minorities. This persecution culminated in the infamous genocide in Darfur that began in 2003. Even though Sudan’s Muslim president, Omar al-Bashir, has been indicted by the International Criminal Court in The Hague, which charged him with three counts of genocide, and despite the euphoria that greeted the semi-independence he grant-ed to South Sudan in July of last year, the violence has not ended. In South Kordofan, Christians are still subject-ed to aerial bombardment, targeted killings, the kidnap-ping of children, and other atrocities. Reports from the United Nations indicate that between 53,000 and 75,000 innocent civilians have been displaced from their resi-dences and that houses and buildings have been looted and destroyed...."

The complicity of the mainstream media and leftwing politicians all over the world in deliberately not reporting on this horrendous state, nor taking steps to remedy it, amounts to a crime. When you know that your neighbour is being murdered and you don't alert the police, you are complicit too. It is just the same. In this time and age, there is no excuse anymore for not knowing this. The editors over at the NYT, Le Monde, the LA Times, The Independent, Aftenposten, The Guardian, NRC Handelsblad...

... they must be knowing that this is happening. I know it, and gathering information and offering analysis and background is not even my field of work. Therefore they must know it too.

Yet they choose to completely ignore it. Instead we should be concerned about... islamophobia, racism, and ... wait for it ... the percentage of CO2 in the atmosphere.



Spread the message, and prepare for the confrontation.
