About craven cowards:
The word 'craven' has lost some of its older meanings, which was derived from a latin word for defeated. For example, a craven servant is a servant who completely submits himself to the will of his master, doing the master's bidding, regardless of right and wrong, etc. Craven also denotes one who lacks even the tiniest bit of courage. Many cowards may have courage in other areas, but one who is craven has no courage at all. Thus, 'craven' has several psychological aspects, and can be used as a deep insult.
So, a craven coward is not just any coward, but a coward who acknowledges his cowardice or his complete submission to another, both major psychological defeats.
ADDENDUM
The sexual abuse of about 1,400 children at the hands of Asian men went unreported for 16 years because staff feared they would be seen as racist, a report said today.Must-watch video (hat tip to Infidel Bloggers):
Such is the state of the West today. Certain words must not be uttered!

ReplyDelete82-year-old woman beheaded in her back yard yesterday in London! The one who apparently did the beheading was a convert to Islam:
ReplyDeleteLocals last night claimed the arrested man had converted to Islam last year.
The police are discounting terrorism as a motive.
A generic madman?
An Islamomaniac?
This is the second beheading in North London. The first occurred on May 22, 2013, and those charged and convicted "credited" Islam as their motive.

ReplyDeleteNOTICE:
ReplyDeleteComments unrelated to the topic of a blog post are subject to deletion.
Save rants and the like for Nincompoopery or Open Thread posts.
Or better yet skip the BOILERPLATE, namecalling and raging insults altogether. That stuff makes conservatives look foolish, bigoted and ill-tempered.
DeleteI try very bard to remove remarks that insult, berate or attempt to "tell tales" on fellow bloggers. It's not only tedious, it's IGNOBLE. That means oafish, lowbrow, mean and unwise.
The dems have become unhinged. They are showing their true colors and they are sick, twisted and approaching insanity.
ReplyDeleteThey are in panic mode and hysterical.
ReplyDeleteI typically do not speak ill of the dead -- and have no respect for those who do. But I always think it's very respectful to allow people on my blog to trash the president and his wife by calling them Commies and monkeys. Now that's how I show respect!
And THAT is how you deliver yourself and those you encourage STRAIGHT into the hands of "The Enemy."
DeleteChildish demonstrations of disrespect tend to backfire, and besides they have all the wit and substance of seventh-graders running amok.
The Left may be wrong-hdead, belligerent, harrnful, and always on the attack, but the very LAST way "we" should try to counteract their influence would be to descend to THEIR abysmal levels.
Besides, they are far more adept at being rude, unpleasant and unfair than we, since they've had so much more practice at it.
Don't try to COMPETE with them; just do everything you can to be BETTER than they are. In other words talk about YOUR virtues and not THEIR faults.
And if you have much trouble touting your virtues, because you're not sure what they might be, it's probably better just to SHUT UP, LISTEN and try to LEARN.
Lurker,
DeleteCalling the POTUS and the FLOTUS "Communists" may well be an accurate statement. The two blab on and on about redistributing wealth (sometimes using other terminology, but a terminology with the same meaning as redistribution of wealth).
Calling them "monkeys" is something of which I do not approve; and such a comment is typically deleted. Nonetheless, the First Amendment covers one's right to use the name, and, in fact, GWB was often portrayed by caricaturists as a simian of sorts.
I am with AOW. "Commie?" Well...considering the names Lefties call us, what the heck? How bad is COMMIE?
DeleteI do not allow 'monkey', etc., either. AND NEVER WILL. It's low, it hands the leftwingers ammunition for their hate.
And by the way, I'm curious....if you are a Conservative blogger, where's your blog? :)
Oh, ya...you're not; you just go around suggesting that conservatives call the president and his wife ugly names.
Were you one of those holding up placards showing Obama as a monkey at Tea Party gatherings who was found to be a leftwinging bomb thrower?
I thought so. So transparent.
By the way, I understand the points that man in the second video is trying to make, but his poor, fumbling, rambling use of English, his uncouth Midwestern accent, his constant mocking repetition of "PACKY ---- STANNY," and the shallow, polemical, narrow-mindedness of his reasoning doesn't speak well for his cause. at all
ReplyDeleteFT,
DeleteWell, I think that the man is trying to make valid points.
We've reached the point in "discourse" that we have to wade through some trash to find the filet mignons.
Yes, indeed, AOW, but the contrast between the rambling stumblebum and the eloquent brilliance of Pat Condell is as striking as having a bucket of ice water poured over your head. Britain ma have gone to hell in the proverbial handcart as both men amply indicate, but educated Englishmen still run circles around most of us when it comes to verbal communication via both the written and the spoken word. I just LOVE Pat Condell, even though I know he is a self-dscribed atheist.
DeleteObama Honors Trayvon Martin, Ignores Fort Hood Jihad Victims.
ReplyDeletePresident Obama Honors Trayvon Martin, Ignores Fort Hood Victims –
The jury has been selected and the trial date set for the jihadist accused of 13 counts of premeditated murder and 32 of attempted premeditated murder acting, as he says, in defense of the Taliban.
Army Sgt. Alonzo Lunsford has not received a phone call from Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson. Nor does the African-American veteran who was shot seven times by Maj. Nidal Hasan at Fort Hood expect to. He is merely relieved that nearly four years after the massacre at the Army base in Texas, a jury has finally been selected and a trial date has been set.
]Thirteen people, including a pregnant soldier, were killed and 32 others shot Nov. 5, 2009, at the Killeen facility during Hasan’s rampage against soldiers being processed for deployment to Afghanistan. Hasan has said he did it in defense of the Taliban, a self-admitted act of terrorism on behalf of a foreign entity.
One would expect that when a self-proclaimed “soldier of Allah” shouting “Allahu Akhbar” opens fire on dozens of American citizens and soldiers, killing and maiming as many innocents as he can, it would have been called an act of terror. One of the great scandals of the Obama administration has been its shameful designation of the massacre as “workplace violence.”
The terrorists have a plan to overthrow our country and they are all over this land setting up cells to attack and spread their diabolical evil religion of the devil throughout the world, while our Dear Leader plays games and make empty, threats, and speeches. There will come a day when there will no longer be any freedom..just look around the world and in our country.
ReplyDeleteAmerican Jihad,
ReplyDeleteAgreed!
An administrator here may well delete the comment before the day is over.
Please don't do that, AOW, since you've gotten two sensible replies to it. Once responses come in -- as long as they make sense -- it's too late (I think!) to remove the offending remark. besides, it cinfuses readers to find responses to comments no longer in existence.
ReplyDelete"Just sayin'..." ;-)
FT,
ReplyDeleteI'll try to alert the other administrators.
BAD NEWSFLASH!
ReplyDeleteYupitsi Darnit reports:
U.S. military charter plane forced to land in Iran
A U.S. military charter aircraft flying from Afghanistan has been forced down in Iran by Iranian fighter jets, according to officials familiar with the incident. The plane, which departed Bagram air base on Friday, was chartered by the Pentagon from Fly Dubai, and was carrying approximately 100 Americans and possibly a pair of Canadians. (Washington Post)
Both videos excellent. But that first one - wow. The Common Purpose thing was too much! I had not heard that. Chilling beyond belief. They're going to get us all killed.
ReplyDeleteBaysider,
DeleteGreat to see you back here!
They're going to get us all killed.
Maybe not all -- but certainly a multitude of us. **sigh**
