How Did We Let Our Culture Slip This Far? Are We Too Weak To Save Ourselves Now?

Diana West - Diversity Uber Alles

As Gen. Casey blatantly underscored it yesterday on Meet the Press: "Our diversity, not only in our Army, but in our country, is a strength. And as horrific as this tragedy was, if our diversity becomes a casualty, I think that’s worse." The end of "diversity" as a fetish object is "worse" than the massacre at Ft. Hood? Think about it. The general in charge of the Army is saying that if we, as a people, stop worshipping diversity above all and start protecting our soldiers and ourselves from the teachings and goals of Islam,that's "worse" than the carnage at Ft. Hood. Fire Gen. Casey. His duty is to diversity, not his troops.

How Did We Let Our Culture Slip This Far? Are We Too Weak Now To Save Ourselves?

No people in history have ever survived, who thought they could protect their freedom by making themselves inoffensive to their enemies. ~ Dean Acheson

First Take The Lego Out Of Your Own Toy Box

Lego-Style Islamic Terrorist Figurine Sparks Outrage

A Lego-style figurine resembling an Islamic terrorist strapped with explosives and made by a small American company has caused an uproar among Muslims and non-Muslims alike.

The controversial miniature figure, created by Seattle-based Will Chapman as part of his BrickArms military fighters line, is a bearded militant with a face-covering hood, a tiny toy assault rifle, a little grenade launcher and plastic bombs that can be attached to an explosives belt.

The character is called "Bandit — Mr. White" and sells for $14.

The jarring toy has outraged the British Muslim organization known as the Ramadhan Foundation, which called the figurine "absolutely disgusting," according to Sky News.

The foundation's chief executive, Mohammed Shafiq, complained that the toy is "glorifying terrorism."

I'm sorry, did you say "shocked"? How dare you feign shock over a toy when your own culture and religion uses children like this:
and this:


Personally, I think this toy is in bad taste at best, considering all the innocent lives that have been taken by terrorism. However, I'd prefer that you be "shocked" by the actual violence and murder perpetrated by your own people, Mr. Shafiq, before you start lecturing anyone else about "glorifying terrorism."

It's All About Choices...

UK School Cancels Christmas Nativity In Favour Of Muslim Eid Celebrations

Greenwood Junior School sent out a letter to parents saying the three-day festival of Eid al-Adha, which takes place between December 8 and 11, meant that Muslim children would be off school.

That meant planning for the traditional nativity play were shelved because the school felt it would be too difficult to run both celebrations side by side.

The move has left parents furious. [...]

Following outrage from parents, the school was forced to send out a second letter saying that the Christmas play would be done in January.

Sent by the head teacher, Amber Latif, and Yvonne Wright, chair of governors, it apologised for "any misunderstanding" but said it had to respect "the cultures and religions of all the children".

It added: "The Christmas performance has not been cancelled outright but has been postponed until the New Year."

Now, I can understand the school's choice to move the Christmas celebration. After all, the Christians aren't very likely to go wacky and riot or take hostages over a slight offense. Still, here's how it should work; if no other accommodation can be made the Muslim children and their parents have a choice to make: do they want to be in the Christmas Pageant or do they want to celebrate Eid? The school could also move the Eid observance to January. The Muslims could also send their children to a Muslim school, but given the already great failure to matriculate into British culture I'm not sure I'd encourage that.

It's Not Just Canada

Do you think crap like this only happens in Canada? Well think again:

A Christian law firm will appeal a ruling by the New Mexico Human Rights Commission fining a photographer who refused to take photos of a homosexual commitment ceremony.

Elaine Huguenin and her husband Jon, who co-own Elane Photography in Albuquerque, New Mexico, are both Christians. So when a lesbian couple asked them to photograph their "commitment ceremony" in Taos, the Huguenins politely refused. In response, Vanessa Willock filed a complaint with the New Mexico Human Rights Commission claiming the Huguenins discriminated against her because of her "sexual orientation." On Wednesday, the Commission found the Christian couple guilty of discrimination under state anti-discrimination laws and ordered them to pay more than $6,000 in costs.

The disease of government sanctioned political correctness and multicultural claptrap is spreading and it's a danger to us all.

Maclean’s, Mark, & Muslims

As you may have heard, Maclean's magazine and Mark Steyn are being brought up before the Human Rights Commission in British Columbia and Ontario and are also being sued in Canadian federal court. You can find background on the case here. What's the brouhaha about? Maclean's printed an excerpt from Steyn's book America Alone, and as you know, for Muslims - the truth hurts. I'm reading Steyn's book now, and I highly recommend it. It's a brilliant description of the future we face.

Kathy at Five Feet of Fury brought to my attention this video of a debate between Mark Steyn and his three accusers who are Muslim law students. Or as you'll probably conclude after watching their debate mediocre law students. I wouldn't let them defend a toothless dog in a dog bite trial.

Make no mistake, this is an important case for our neighbors to the north and it will set a tone for years to come. It shows how Muslims will use the overly sensitive political correctness of Canadian political systems to wring the rights away from their adopted country one complaint at a time.

We're in eminent danger people, and it would behoove us all to take notice of it.

Little Guillermo Cried "Wah Wah Wah" All The Way Home

Baseball Mascot Gets New Name After 'PorkChop' Is Deemed Offensive

Two days after naming its mascot "PorkChop," the Philadelphia Phillies' new Triple-A affiliate abruptly dropped the moniker after receiving complaints from Hispanics that it was offensive. [...]

General Manager Kurt Landes said he heard from several Hispanics who said PorkChop was derogatory.

"We were really unaware of any negative connotations with the word 'pork chop,"' he said. "If it offended a few, it's a few too many."

Guillermo Lopez, vice president of the Latino Leadership Alliance, said he was called "pork chop" when he worked at Bethlehem Steel decades ago.

Let it go, Guillermo.

Good grief. If crap like this keeps up I might have to apologize to the Muslims for all the times I've called them pantywaists for overreacting in the name of their religion. It looks like Americans are well on their way to big wussy status as well. It's a baseball mascot for pity's sake! Grow up!

Oh England...Wither Goest Thou?

Christmas Should Be 'Downgraded' To Help Race Relations Says Labour Think Tank

Christmas should be downgraded in favour of festivals from other religions to improve race relations, says an explosive report.

Labour's favourite think-tank says that because it would be hard to "expunge" Christmas from the national calendar, 'even-handedness' means public organisations must start giving other religions equal footing.

The report robustly defends multiculturalism - the idea that different communities should not be forced to integrate but should be allowed to maintain their own culture and identities.

And it says immigrants should be required to acquire some proficiency in English and other aspects of British culture "if - but only if - the settled population is willing to open up national institutions and practices to newcomers and give a more inclusive cast to national narratives and symbols".

It adds: "Even-handedness dictates that we provide public recognition to minority cultures and traditions.

"If we are going to continue as a nation to mark Christmas - and it would be very hard to expunge it from our national life even if we wanted to - then public organisations should mark other religious festivals too.

"We can no longer define ourselves as a Christian nation, nor an especially religious one in any sense.

"The empire is gone, church attendance is at historically low levels, and the Second World War is inexorably slipping from memory."

Thank God my family left 250 years ago. There is a note of sanity in this story though, ironically sounded by a British Muslim, Sayeeda Warsi, the Conservative spokesman on community cohesion who said:

"Their comments betray a breathtaking misunderstanding of what it is to be British. These proposals could actually damage cohesion."

She added: "You don't build community cohesion by throwing out our history and denying the fundamental contribution Christianity has played and does play to our nation.

"As a British Muslim I can see that - so why others can't just staggers me."

And she attacked ceremonies to mark the registration of a baby.

"The thought of Gordon Brown sharing responsibility with me for bringing up my children sends a shiver down my spine. I thought we got rid of communism?"

Someone give Ms. Warsi a job with more power...now!

You're Naïve

Or so says Doris Lessing who won the Nobel Prize for literature.

"September 11 was terrible, but if one goes back over the history of the IRA, what happened to the Americans wasn't that terrible," the Nobel Literature Prize winner told the leading Spanish daily El Pais.

"Some Americans will think I'm crazy. Many people died, two prominent buildings fell, but it was neither as terrible nor as extraordinary as they think. They're a very naive people, or they pretend to be," she said in an interview published Sunday.

"Do you know what people forget? That the IRA attacked with bombs against our government; it killed several people while a Conservative congress was being held and in which the prime minister, Margaret Thatcher, was (attending). People forget," she said.

Nearly 3,000 people were killed in the Sept. 11 attacks. About 3,700 died and tens of thousands of people were maimed in more than 30 years of violence in Northern Ireland. The Irish Republican Army guerrilla group, which caused most of the deaths, disarmed in 2005.

Illegal Immigration Is Killing Us

Muslim terrorists plotting to blow us up (but we won't stop them because it might be racist to describe what they look like), China slowly poisoning us (and buying us), and illegal immigrants lining us up against walls and executing us after molesting our children (not to worry though, they're replacing our damaged children with thousands of their own. Who says they don't contribute to society? They're making the citizens Americans don't want to make).

Focusing on the physically nearest problem, our amigos sin documentos, Ann Coulter lists out some of the criminals living illegal in our country and the crimes they have committed against American citizens (you know, you and me):

Admittedly, I'd just as soon have Homeland Security focusing on illegal immigrants like the one who shot four promising college kids execution style in Newark, killing three of them, possibly after sexually molesting two of them. Heck, I wouldn't have minded if they had deported Jose Carranza even before his girlfriend accused him of raping her 5-year-old daughter.

Or Ruben Hernandez-Juarez, an illegal alien charged with sexually molesting a 6-year-old boy in Martin County, Fla.

Or Alejandro Bautista, an illegal alien in Cook County, Ill., who was convicted for sexually molesting two teenaged boys.

Or Alejandro Xuya-Sian, the illegal alien who hit a pedestrian with his car in New York and dragged him for nearly a mile before dislodging the victim from his car, throwing him aside and driving off again. (Even more disturbing: Xuya-Sian may not have been wearing his seat belt at the time.)

Or illegal alien Alberto Barajas-Enriquez, who is charged with beating his Michigan neighbor to death with a golf club because the neighbor complained about the constant barking of Enriquez's dog. Asked by police how many times he struck his victim with the golf club, Enriquez said, "Let's see ... five, six ... uh, put me down for a seven."

Or Lucio Sanchez-Martinez, the illegal alien in Ohio charged with sexually molesting a sleeping 8-year-old girl.

For simplicity, I have limited my enumeration of illegal aliens I would like deported to those who were charged or convicted of heinous crimes last week. For illegal aliens charged with child molestation, I had to limit it to two days last week.

What the hell is wrong with us? When are we going to start putting our own well-being first?
