Brutal Reality Check

Interesting article wrapped around the Winter Olympics.

Reality doesn’t get any more brutal than this.

Question: If ALL countries and cultures based on the Enlightenment fail, is any outcome other than another Dark Ages even possible?

Something to think about….

More Reality of “Multiculturalism”

Those pretending to the conceit of “multiculturalism,” and it is a pretense, have convinced themselves that non-Western cultures are at least as significant and worthy of respect as is the West. If you go to the liberal arts department of any major American University you will be taught that the West is the root of all evil and that other cultures must be respected as they are better than ours.

Leaving aside the idiocy of using the liberty and freedom that exist only in the West to criticize the West, and leaving aside the FACT that nothing of note since paper[…]

No, Hannity, America is NOT a ‘Christian Nation’

Obama the other day made an intelligent remark. Shocking not only because it was intelligent, but also because of the manner in which the Right Wing responded. It may well also have been the first time I agreed with him.

What was the remark? That America is not a Christian nation.

Of course it isn’t. The First Amendment states that rather clearly for those who, like Hannity, can’t seem to grasp this truism and historical fact.

Was America built on the Judeo-Christian heritage? Of course it was.

Could America have been created in any other religious tradition? Of course not.

Nonetheless our nation is specifically[…]

Guantanamo Multiculturalism

Here is a very interesting article (”Court Orders Release of Chinese Muslims from Guantanamo”) from today’s Wall Street Journal, interesting for two reasons – at least.

The first reason is the separation-of-powers. The Court has no more right to tell the Executive what to do than the Executive can tell the Court how to decide a particular case.

If The Bush Administration doesn’t like the Court’s argument in releasing Guantanamo prisoners, there is no Constitutional requirement to release them; the Executive and Judicial are co-equal branches of government. (Had Republicans, when in control of Congress, understood the Constitution they always brandish, they would have removed[…]

China Olympic Spying

Today Sen. Brownback – a Boomer Rightie - is whining that Chinese officials are installing spying devices in major hotel chains to eavesdrop on visitors to the Olympics. Obviously it isn’t only the ill-educated Baby Boomer Left that lacks a general understanding of the way the world works. One awaits an outcry from the Left on civil liberties, privacy and various other concepts that just don’t exist in China.

Newflash: It’s their country. Did anyone really expect China NOT to take advantage of this influx of foreigners to gather a massive amount of information – of which likely way over 99%[…]

Multiculturalism

Here is yet another idiocy of the Left. Somehow the Left can equate all cultures as relative – and relatively benign (except, of course, the United Sates and the West due to their indescribable brutality, evil, bigotry and everything else that causes people like Michelle Obama never to be proud of us, but nevertheless to raise her children here).

(News Flash, Mrs. Obama: If you aren’t proud of your country, if our “soul” is “sick” raise your children elsewhere - or don’t have them. What better way to foment hate across the generations than to raise kids in a country of which[…]

Multiculturalism? Really?

Have you noticed that those insisting on identifying themselves as “Multiculturalists” are the same people demanding Western – particularly American – rights, liberties, environmental practices, etc.?

How the media, politicians and pundits can let this go one unchallenged for years escapes me.

Seriously – objectively and non-ideologically: Scratch a “Multiculturalist” and an American Imperialist bleeds.

Child labor laws not recognized in Asian sweatshops? That’d be Western child labor cultural practices.

Pirating intellectual property (movies, software)? That’d be in violation of Western concepts of intellectual property.

Lack of women’s rights in South America and Asia and Africa? That’d be American concepts of women’s rights. (Not even just Western as[…]
