We Are Doomed
merrie
by merrie  Yesterday 6:45 AM    2
  Nicholas Ostler, in Empires of the Word, puts it down to the great and terrible plague that ravaged Europe in the mid-sixth century. The English areas, and the Celts living under English overlords, were less affected, he argues, for social and economic reasons (e.g. fewer trade links with southern Europe). Now here’s F. W. Brownlow of Mt. Holyoke College, writing in the current (February) issue my favorite papo-paleo-con magazine, Chronicles. Philologists have scratched their heads over this problem, and the best explanation they can come up with is that English, for some reason, is a “killer” language, which is to say that wherever it goes, it drives out other languages. There is no apparent reason why the Anglo-Saxons " who, like the Vikings in Normandy, were a relatively small group of warriors who married the female kin of the resident proprietors whom they dispossessed " should not have adopted the language of their wives, tenants, children .....

England is 'cesspit' breeding Islamists, says Nobel prize winner

  Soyinka added: "This is part of the character of Great Britain. Colonialism bred an innate arrogance, but when you undertake that sort of imperial adventure, that arrogance gives way to a feeling of accommodativeness. You take pride in your openness." The attempted Christmas Day bombing has helped to raise fears that some British universities are becoming places in which young Muslims are radicalised – ­Abdulmutallab attended University College, London. But Soyinka, who splits his time between the US and Nigeria, suggested that British Muslims were being radicalised earlier in their lives.

Blair Testifies at Brit Iraq War Inquest
citizenbfk
by citizenbfk  1-29-2010   
 The former PM of Great Britain, who helped start the Iraq War, Tony Blair, testified today. You don't know whether to laugh or to cry or to once againbe impressed by the British ability to get all dressed up, speak the Queen's English, look you straight in the eye and attempt to explain how Wrong is Right. Of course, there is the secrecy, too. In this clip Blair explains how events, 9/11, gave him insight and clarity and a stiff-upper lip and a determination to rid the world of Weapons of Mass Destruction. Only...uh, there were no weapons of Mass Destruction. 'Sorry about that, Old Chap." Yea...wind 'em up, crack the handle, and out pops the weasel. More Significantly - The Emperor Has No Clothes -- Not only were there no weapons of mass destruction but it was the Brits who first published that there were; it was the Brits who spread this lie! Knowing it was a deliberate lie! (search: Downing Street Memo). Good people. Just lied to and misled by their leaders, lik

Brits: Lord Goldsmith Approved Illegal War
citizenbfk
by citizenbfk  1-26-2010    2
 Oh my....now it appears there was, there IS and international conspiracy of evil warmongers and zionist sympathizers lying to promote wars. Humm...I think this is one of those ideas associated with racism -- but what to do, or say when today's news reveals it to be a 'fact on the ground." One of the Big Lies used in Good Old Great Britain and Home Sweet Home USA was that the war in Iraq was somehow approved by the UN. But the war was Not Approved by the UN. Not even close. (Well....Tony Blair and George Bush were certainly trying hard --- but 'no cigar.' - i.e. no UN approval). In fact, It's against the UN charter to approve the war in Iraq the way it unfolded. For the UN to approve it meant the UN would have to be in command and it would be UN troops....not British and USA troops deciding to appoint themselves Sheriff. Do the Brits still hang people for treason? Or is it still a crime against humanity to deliberately lie and cause the death of millions? That's the q

Little Charlie Simpson ~ The Toast of Britain
merrie
by merrie  1-25-2010    1
 Charlie initially hoped to raise a more modest sum of 500 for Unicef's Haiti appeal by pedalling five times round his local park. Leonora said her son had been deeply moved by the plight of the Haitians. She added: "He was really upset by the pictures on TV. He actually burst into tears. He sat on my lap and we had a chat about the things he could do. "He decided to do the cycle ride and he made me do a sponsorship form for him and that was it. We sent it out on to the web and it just went everywhere." Charlie, from Fulham, West London, said: "I just think it was quite sad when I saw the pictures on the TV." dailymirror.co.uk more at http://bit.ly/6XDxw0

In England, It’s Not How Well You Educate, It’s How Politically Correct You Are
merrie
by merrie  1-5-2010    1
  In official guidance, inspectors are told to be aware of “gender imbalances” in upper-ability sets and ensure after-school sport is not dominated by pupils belonging to one ethnic group. Some local councils are also warning schools to make sure staff and volunteers reflect the ethnic make-up of local communities and feature people with disabilities to provide good role models for pupils. Look at England closely, my friends. The country that led the way, that provided the seeds for the American genius, is dying before our eyes. Even worse, our politically correct, liberal, Progressive masters are hastening to drag us down that same path. Let me say again what you’ll hear me say in post after post after post in 2010: The November 2010 elections are pretty much our last chance to stop the PC car before it drags the whole nation over the edge of the cliff.

 Obama was a fool to think he could actually sit down and talk peace with a government that is bent on always being at odds with the US. Any chance he gets, Ahmadinejad will bad mouth the US. He doesn't have any respect for the US or our world leader pretend, Obama. He knows Obama is weak. Our enemies have always known that if there is Liberal leadership in our Country, we are weak and an easy target. The following link shows that Ahmadinejad will use any anti-government protest in his Country to blame the US for the civil unrest there:

“A History lesson….Cry for Me, Argentina” 12.9.2009
merrie
by merrie  12-30-2009    3
 Among Irigoyen’s changes: mandatory pension insurance, mandatory health insurance, and support for low-income housing construction to stimulate the economy. Simply put, the state assumed economic control of a vast swath of the country’s operations and began assessing new payroll taxes to fund its efforts. With an increasing flow of funds into these entitlement programs, the government’s payouts soon became overly generous. Before long its outlays surpassed the value of the taxpayers’ contributions. Put simply, it quickly became under-funded, much like the United States Social Security and Medicare programs. The death knell for the Argentine economy, however,came with the election of Juan Perón. Perón had a fascist and corporatist upbringing ; he and his charismatic wife aimed their populist rhetoric at the nation’s rich. This targeted group “swiftly expanded to cover most of the propertied middle classes, who became an enemy to be defeated and humiliated.”

Most of us will never be able to do the stunts and tricks this guy can do ... but hopefully he can still inspire us to try and do great things. And most importantly ... the video has over 50,000 votes and it's still rated 5 stars. He can do some pretty cool stuff with a bike. Enjoy!

Happy Birfday, Charles Dickens' "Christmas Carol"
Spiritualmonkey
by Spiritualmonkey  12-19-2009    1
 more: Interestingly, there is no mention of the following in Dickens' A Christmas Carol: -Christmas tree -wrapped gifts -Anything related to The Nativity (wise men, baby Jesus), although there are plenty of homeless parents all through Dickens' works. While such values as charity, family, and universal goodwill certainly fall well within the Christian tradition, the book is not explicitly Christian much beyond the wish that "God bless us, everyone." Actually, that feels quite Anglican. ;-) There is no mention of Santa Claus per se, but the Ghost of Christmas Present is a big Oðin-like viking spirit, in a green fur-trimmed robe, bare chested and hearty. You know GoCP is going to the holiday swingers party once he drops off Scrooge.[/quote[
