There is no genuine or lasting outrage — even when children are slaughtered in the name of Allah.
Neither is there a change in policy on the part of the West's feckless leaders.
I am so sick of the West's dhimmitudinal cycle.

ReplyDeleteMustang,
DeleteVictimology on crack!
Yeah, I gave tacit support to the Marathon Bomber.
DeleteTie a can on it, Bircher.
I will say this, the Manchester bombing indicates there are no limits. Children were purposely targeted. This is nihilism and not religion.
The right in its support for Trump is also descending into nihilism unwilling to call out a man who supports the likes of Duterte and the house of Saud.
We finance a war in Yemen that destroys a nations health delivery and unleashes a cholera epidemic but somehow justify it or worse, avoid looking at our own nihilism.
It's not the left that is morally bankrupt in this nation.
Hey there Ducky, your Grand Imam Barack Hussein lit the fuse on Yemen, not President Trump, and the rebels there-backed by your heroes the Iranians-are busting thing up pretty good themselves. What's everybody to do, just sit back and let them destroy everything?
DeleteYou just don't think things through.
Islamic terror carried out by muslims in the name of islam may not be "religion" if you want to make that ridiculous claim, but it is religiously-inspired, and the religion that inspires it is ISLAM.
Duck,
DeleteIf you again tell my dear friend Mustang Tie a can on it, you are gone from this blog. You know full well that Mustang and I have been friends since June 2005.
But it's okay for mustang to say I supported the marathon bomber.
DeleteDouble standard.
This is nihilism and not religion.
DeleteWhy Ducky, you almost sound like one of those mental midgets that try and claim Islam isn't a religion.....
And you're right, you get far more vile and immature epithets than you give.

I try to stay away from sweeping generalizations where religion and its dogma is concerned. I also believe the general American understanding of Islam is best described as abject ignorance (ask an American to define sharia).
ISIS is not representative and they have crossed into a pretty dangerous region where there are absolutely no limits. They aren't looking to recruit fighters, they just don't care.
They may well die out but there will be more attacks before that happens.
Meanwhile, in the West we absolutely refuse to accept our significant part in creating the environment that allows this pathology to grow.

Delete"Meanwhile, in the West we absolutely refuse to accept our significant part in creating the environment that allows this pathology to grow. "
BS, Islam itself has created "the environment that allows this pathology to grow". Or have you never actually read a real history book?
ISIS, et al, has one overriding objective, to create a worldwide Caliphate, and they do it in the traditional Islamic fashion, terror and subjugation. Jews and Christian become dhimmi, all others must convert or are just killed outright. Blaming the West is just sickening!
Ducky is totally AVERSE to doing ANYTHING that would reduce "our Western contribution" to Islam's pathologies. He is, after all, a GLOBALIST, and fightng GLOBALISM (not just global capitalism) is the REAL issue. Global COMMUNISM would simply exacerbate the terrorism problem (ie- Chechnya and the Islamic Russian spinoffs).
DeleteIslamism and terrorism is the Middle Eastern "response" to the failure of communism and the collapse of the USSR (ending in 1989).
DeleteFJ,
DeleteIf I understand what you said in your comment of May 26, 2017 at 7:27:00 AM EDT, I agree.
It seems to me that Duck elevates Islam's "contributions" to Western civilization over the West's overall accomplishments to Western civilization.
Warren,
DeleteIslam itself has created "the environment that allows this pathology to grow".
Precisely.
It's time to quit blaming the West for the inherent problems of Islam and its various sects.

ReplyDeleteSad but true. Today's right wing is nothing more than a diseased maladjusted gang of thugs.
A comment on FT's site by commenter AOW says it all. Two guys pushing each other, no big deal.
Either the commenter is ill informed (even FOX reporters who witnessed the event were shocked), or willfully ignorant. Both should be considered unacceptable behaviors.
I also said: "Montana is not the wussified Northeast."
DeleteSurely one has to take into consideration, that "negative in tone" can be rather subjective. Trump deserves his share on this issue, for his infantile actions towards the media...as much as the media deserves scorn when they're biased.

CI,
ReplyDeleteI do not condone what Gianforte, but at the same time, I don't see it as a big deal. The big deal is Gianforte's political platform (whatever that is -- I know nothing about Montana's politics).
Gianforte lost his temper and apologized, didn't he? I expect that he will pay for new glasses for the reporter. That's what I would do if something similar had happened with me and a pushy somebody.
I find it amusing, though, that so many who previously advocated for early voting are now warning about the dangers of early voting. MSNBC this morning, for example.

ReplyDeleteNever mind, I see that it's just Tourette's turds your leaving all over AOWs blog.
ReplyDeleteRegarding Gianforte, having raised boys - what he did is a real yawner. He shoved the guy into the wall, cussed him out, and that was the end of it. He did not hit him in the face with a closed fist. He shoved, and I assume that is an open palm maneuver. No real harm done, except perhaps a few body aches and a bit of contemplation on why it is rude to interrupt people who have told you to leave them alone.
ReplyDeleteCivilized man does not mean emasculated man. I consider what Gianforte did the act of a civilize man. Sure. He lost his temper. But he could have completely leveled the man and rearranged his nose to the top of his forehead. It was not a beat down. It was a little reminder to the reporter that respect should be afforded the interviewee.
I agree!
DeleteGet in someones face and then demand some BS question be answered, or demand anything at all, and you'll get the same reaction from me. Do it again and you will get a damn sight worse!
ReplyDeleteIt may be uncivilized, uncouth or whatever but at least it's a real natural reaction. Real men except responsibility for their actions, "journalists" whine and bitch about it.(How dare he lay hands on the anointed!)

Enough of changing your Facebook photo to the flag of the abattoir du jour, enough of the candlelight vigils, and enough of the #_____Strong hashtags. No more pleas for unity and pretending not to understand.
We’re not unified, and we all understand, even if we refuse to admit it because of some bizarre suicide pact Western culture decided to join when no one was looking.
Grieving doesn’t work.
Hugging doesn’t work.
Cowardice masquerading as enlightened passivity in the face of our enemies doesn’t work.
Just ask the little girls blown apart in Manchester. Say it. Say it, damn you. Then I’ll say it, for those of you too weak and dishonest to. Radical Islamic Terrorists.
That’s our enemy. Our enemy, not just a bunch of misguided potential pals who would love us if they only understood how sorry we are for whatever sin we committed, or that some Crusader committed 800 years ago back when the men of the West were actually men and not the whimpering Ken dolls we watch pretending to be the best and brightest of our elites.
There is only one appropriate reaction to the kind of people who strap on bomb vests packed with nails and wait for smiling, laughing tweens to come along before hitting the detonator and ripping their limbs off and tearing their guts out.
The only appropriate reaction is righteous fury that turns into a grim determination to exact a retribution upon the bomber’s bros so thorough and so comprehensive that in a thousand years the few descendants of the survivors will still terrify their children with the story of the vengeance exacted by the avengers of the West.
And then our enemies would fear us.
Read it all HERE.
Nope. Gianforte had no control over his reactions, no restraint. That is weakness...no matter how badly you want to piss and moan about journalists (how dare they press the anointed!).
