Embracing victimhood.

John McWhorter, Manhattan Institute senior fellow and UC Berkeley linguistics professor, is one of the nation's most insightful analysts of race and culture.

In his masterly 2000 book, "Losing the Race: Self-Sabotage in Black America," he compellingly argued that the black community was self-destructively embracing victimhood as an inescapable component of its ethnic identity.

Touché.

On the recent Irish rejection of the Treat of Lisbon:

"It is not truly democratic that less than a million people should decide the fate of half a billion Europeans", said the leader of the Euro-Greens, Daniel Cohn-Bendit.

It's better than having less than one thousand(?) EU elite decide the fate of half a billion Europeans!

Islam – nothing if not elegant.

Which is to say, nothing, if my iron grasp of the rules of logic is as it has always been.

A certain Islam cleric Ahmad Sobri Lubis is a bit put out over Ahmadiyah, an Islamic sect in the jerkwater nation of Indonesia:

"Kill! Kill! Kill!," Sobri Lubis told the rally. "It is halal to spill the blood of Ahmadiyah. If any of you should kill Ahmadiyah as ordered by us, I personally, as well as the FPI, will take responsibility."

Lubis is the secretary general of the Font Pembela Islam. He urged followers to kill Ahmadiyah members because they defile Islam. He said of human rights that they were cat excrement.

Imam Lubis has it a bit backward. He defines Islam but defiles the human race. How is it possible to have more contempt for these slime? You're a Muslim "holy" man. You don't like someone. You have him killed. No cops. No prosecutor. No criminal code. No court. No judge. No jury. No rules of evidence. Just this pustule's personal opinion, his own personal wish, want, and desire. In other words, rule of law non-existent.

1,400 years since this scourge came upon the earth, and we see vintage Islam in bleeping action. In "moderate" Indonesia. Dawn of the 21st Century and all that.

When will the world wake up?

And under whose leadership will there be this awakening? Certainly not under the leadership of any Western political leader now in, or striving for, office, with the honorable exception of the small nationalist parties' leaders and a few thoroughly ignored individual American statesmen.

"Indonesia - A Civil War Between Islamists And Moderates? Part Two." By Adrian Morgan, Family Security Matters, 6/13/08. H/t Western Resistance.

A rare but correct Western assessment of Islam.

Hatless in Hattiesburg has Professor I. S. Wichman's masterful, delicious response to the Muslim Students Association's bogus, deceitful, manipulative, aggressive, false angst over the publication of the Motoons.

For perspective, remember that President Bush's take on Islam is that it's a religion of peace. Yup. Our top political official charged with the security of the Nation thinks that. So help me God, he really does.

Evidence of virulent Chinese hatred.

Hatred of us in case you have any doubt on that score:

In other words, the Communist regime looked at Syria - an ally of the Iranian mullahcracy, a base for Hezbollah and Hamas, and a leading haven for anti-American terrorists operating in Iraq - and decided that helping it develop nuclear weapons would be an excellent idea. There is no better symbol of what the Chinese Communist Party thinks of the United States, the free world, and their enemies.

This isn't the first time a terrorist regime has found a friend in Communist China; in fact, it is merely the latest in a long history of Beijing reaching out to America's enemies, be it North Korea, Iran, Syria, Saddam Hussein, the Taliban, and yes, al Qaeda. The question now becomes, will the free world finally take notice?

Everybody's bitch.

My disgust with Western "men" grows with each passing day. Western men, not to put too fine a point on it, are everybody's bitch.

No matter the insult to them and the degradation and subversion of their unique and truly great culture, they lie inert and passive, seemingly without the least spark of resistance to an invasion of people who are, by any rational standard, arrogant, backward and murderous:

How much longer can the British go on refusing to face the obvious, that Islamic values do not fit with those of a free society, and the only way that "integration" can take place is to accommodate Muslims by restricting freedom of speech and expression of ideas? Which is, in fact, exactly what the country is doing in a doomed effort to mix oil and water, or as the British say, chalk and cheese.

* * * *

Nobody wants to openly acknowledge the obvious, which is that it was a catastrophic mistake (unless you believe it was deliberate) to open the country to virtually unlimited Muslim immigration and try, with bottomless futility, to integrate a culture that is everything traditional British values would reject.

The same applies to American men with regard to the invasion of millions – that's millions – of Hispanics across their southern border. Passive, clueless, enervated, and eyes glued to ESPN.

Many good people know the score but not enough. Witness the immense effort that was necessary to defeat the "comprehensive" "immigration" "solution" McCain and Bush had in mind for us last year. It was a close thing. But an aroused populace with an ounce of self preservation in its bones would have spontaneously risen up and demanded an instant abandonment of that scheme. 20,000,000 uninvited aliens flooding across the border was not enough to rouse the yeomanry, however. It was a minority of citizens with some spirit still left in them who made the difference.

And still McCain thinks he can spit in our eye on the amnesty issue.

God help us.

"Inte-Great Britain?." Rick Darby, Reflecting Light, 1/15/08.

The failure of the American citizen.

If the U.S. is in long-term trouble it is because its citizens have failed utterly in their duty to think seriously about their survival as a nation and a culture. In times when most citizens get their news and analysis from the main stream media, it bodes ill when the announcers, pundits, and anchoroids routinely exhibit their unfamiliarity with the basic rules of grammar let alone their ignorance of basic aspects of the world outside. Rare is the public persona or politician who can correctly pronounce "Beijing," for example. (Like "jingle.")

But, that's not to let the citizenry off the hook. They work hard, it's true – but only to be sure that they're entertained, well fed, provided with free medical care, and relieved of any responsibility to inform themselves of the most basic military, constitutional, or economic facts. To most Americans, eating burgers and drinking beer on the Fourth is a complete fulfillment of the year's patriotic obligations. If not the decade's.

More is required, Economic, military, and population forces are in play that will vastly change the Nation. But don't expect much any exertion by the great American citizenry.

No need, Dude. What Is Will Always Be. WIWAB!!!

Whatever harebrained schemes are foisted on the nation by this or that special interest group. However much free speech is restricted. However much we refuse to recognize the presence of a savage underclass in this country that lays waste to our great cities and turns them into wastelands. No matter how many seditious, conniving Muslim imams and wahabbi swine are imported into our midst by the stuporous George Bush's State Department. Still, still . . . sports fans, the America that we know at this instant will never change. It will rise from beneath each crushing wave just as a nuclear submarine's deck throws off those rushing tons of water in the storm tossed seas of the North Atlantic.

Killing waves alway end up in the trough. Right?

All that our dear fellow citizens need concern themselves with in the strategic thinking department, therefore, is whether to fill up the gas tank at $3.799 in the neighborhood, or take a chance that it's at $3.759 over at the office.

The survival of every individual, and the survival of the nation, depends on the cultivation of strategic thought. Since the United States is a “democracy” in which leaders are elected, the voting public ought to know enough of geography, history, international and military affairs to make an intelligent choice at the polls. What we find, however, is general disinterest in such questions as well as ignorance. . . .

In discussing issues ranging from “women in combat” to homosexual marriage and abortion, the perspective of grand strategy is forgotten. How does feminism, for example, affect long term-prospects for national survival? Would amnesty for millions of illegal aliens facilitate national cohesion or encourage balkanization and national disintegration? Is trade with China effectively arming a future enemy as it erodes domestic industries and capabilities? We find in these questions a neglected debate, having more to do with our grandchildren’s prospects than our immediate convenience. It is a debate we don’t care to have. . . . We have forgotten the primacy of national survival. We use the state to satisfy our wants when our wants are the responsibility of the individual. The state is used for every purpose, it seems, while national defense and the military are decried as instruments of imperialism.

"Political Philosophy 101." By J.R. Nyquist, Financial Sense Online, 11/30/07 (emphasis added).

Some unvarnished Mexican thinking.

The official immigration "debate" in the U.S. is a recitation of platitudes and hog swill firmly grounded in pig ignorance, narrow commercial self interest and what Thomas Payne called that "bastard kind of generosity, which, by being extended to all men, is . . . fatal to society . . . ."

For a taste of the contempt that the results of this generate in the minds of certain, if not all, Mexicans consider joseluiscordobavalle's vivid comments on a YouTube video:

those stupid fucks their so busy playing xbox they havent realized that half their fucken counrty is already ours ajajaja fuck rusia or chinas idea of invading the. They ought to learn from us. Quietly, slowly, little by little, and one day when USAs enemys gang up and the grea empire falls. We the mexicans go in and take back whats our. THATS WHAT WE MEXICANS DO THE BEST FUCK GRINGOS IN THE ASS (slowly, quietly, and inch by inch until its all in).

[/filth]

Is this is aberrational thinking among Mexicans?

One thing you can be sure of is that the United States Government could care less about whether it is or not. It is leaving it entirely up to the illegal Mexican invaders of our country to determine how many of them will take up residence in the U.S., how many jobs they will take from Americans, what hospitals they will bankrupt, what areas will be infested with drug trafficking and ultraviolent criminal gangs, and how far they will depress wage levels in the U.S. Oh, and what black communities they will displace.

Once illegals are firmly established in our land our traitorous government will, as part of the "comprehensive" solution to the problem it has created, grant voting rights to illegals of whatever stripe, temperament, or fundamental allegiance and allow them to give voice to sentiments such as the above. It is written in stone, as you know, that "comprehensive" is a word that necessarily includes rewarding invaders with the one right that is the essence of citizenship and popular sovereignty. Illegals must be given the right to vote when the government surrenders all national sovereignty graciously allows invaders to stay in our midst. Surely no one can dissent from this proposition.

[/sarcasm]

In other words national sovereignty and citizenship are meaningless concepts to the national government. And some state governments, truth be known.

Don't fail to note, btw, that joseluis, while illiterate, has correctly chosen very imaginative and appropriate imagery and . . . is 100% accurate in his analysis, particularly his understanding that Americans are so deracinated and immersed in a dream reality that they would rather devote huge amounts of their time to lame pursuits like video games and unceasing, trivial tv and radio sports fare than spend five minutes thinking through political concepts more taxing than pot hole repair.

(For a more refined statement of joseluis's views see the comments of Mexican writer Elena Poniatowska here.)

"The Mexican Invasion of America has Started!!!" YouTube.

High treason.

We cannot allow the greatest nation in human history to be destroyed by the planet's most barbaric cultures. The British people, like their Dutch, German, Italian, Spanish and Danish counterparts, have every right to desire self-determination and self-preservation, and limit or even completely halt immigration as they see fit to ensure this. Those who say otherwise are evil, and need to be exposed as such. The Western world is under attack by a global Islamic Jihad. To support continued mass immigration of Muslims in this situation should be regarded as high treason, and punished as such.

Obama – stealth candidate.

The reality of Obama's agenda behind the PR efforts of the MSM:

Perhaps his greatest achievement has been running as a candidate with an image wholly incompatible with what he has actually been doing for decades. This man who is now supposedly going to "unite" us has for years worked hand in glove, and contributed both his own money and the taxpayers' money, to people who have sought to divide us in the most crude demagogic ways.

Futile there, inevitable here.

The war in Iraq shows clearly how difficult it is to change a culture. One may wonder, then, how come most westerners understand the problems of bringing our values of freedom and human rights to the Islamic countries, but on the other hand carry the conviction that Muslims will become secularized the moment they arrive in Europe.
