In many ways, it's the same way that Leftists use the term "racist"... although I doubt that Southern American's ever blamed all of the South's evils on "negroes".<br /><br />Somehow, they believe that it is a "unique" feature of the "Right" to always blame "outsiders" (ie - Muslims) for all of our social "ills".... which is why they (Leftists) always speak of us in morally opprobriutive terms as they believe the Right to be constantly "scapegoating" the "other", while only THEY (Leftists) are capable of universal ideological inclusion.<br /><br />The truth, however, lies somewhere in the middle. You can be "critical" w/o being discriminatingly "exclusive" to the point of driving "the other" OUT of your community (as one would a "scapegoat"/<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pharmakos" rel="nofollow">pharmakos</a>)Thersiteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15751286903359745316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320479736034351430.post-73111634121861441832013-07-09T13:55:31.504-05:002013-07-09T13:55:31.504-05:00it takes a true hero to speak the Truth nowadays.....it takes a true hero to speak the Truth nowadays..:)WomanHonorThyselfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17211851365273181636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320479736034351430.post-32261205102941811282013-07-09T12:15:19.835-05:002013-07-09T12:15:19.835-05:00It is getting to the point where I don't think...It is getting to the point where I don't think we in the US have much choice over our destiny any more.

I agree that the EDL is neither "fascist" nor "racist," and have supported them almost from the beginning. I have never seen one shred of evidence to the contrary. They, like all groups on the right, are regularly slimed, insulted and slandered with evil epithets.<br /><br />On the other hand, Pam Geller has banned me from her site for telling the truth about the EDL when Geller momentarily joined the forces of darkness by denouncing the EDL as "fascist" on the basis of one disgruntled former member's opinion. It seems that the EDL is far more forgiving than is Geller, as Geller was invited to their event before Britain banned her.Stogiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05852841950131130696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320479736034351430.post-84380472349037183202013-07-09T10:45:55.528-05:002013-07-09T10:45:55.528-05:00PC will be the death of us all.

The truth is known... but the liberals are "suspending" that knowledge (as it is taken as a mere transitional object") in order to achieve a "higher" ideological goal... an "harmonious" multi-cultural society. Perhaps they think that after eight generations of non-interference with their endogamous mating habits, Islamic "hostility" and "aggression" towards the liberal project will have been "bred out of them." ;)Thersiteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15751286903359745316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320479736034351430.post-7227472082298402692013-07-09T09:25:20.482-05:002013-07-09T09:25:20.482-05:00As for me, I think that it's high time we bega...As for me, I think that it's high time we began a new <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DtVxCQS-A90" rel="nofollow">breeding program</a> for <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endogamy" rel="nofollow">endogamous</a> cultures (Plato, "Republic").

(ie - jihad) and thereby render the remainder of the Islamic religion "harmless"... a kind of coffee without caffein product, Islam w/o Islamicists. This western post-modern multi-cultural ideal is an error. A VERY dangerous one. It could ONLY work if the Islamic family living next door didn't REALLY believe in Islam, or the "political" advantages they could derive from pretending to believe in Islam.<br /><br />And Zizek knows what he's talking about... from the Serbo-Croatian-Bosnian Yugolslav fiasco.Thersiteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15751286903359745316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320479736034351430.post-60485453964631156332013-07-09T07:37:51.026-05:002013-07-09T07:37:51.026-05:00It is a problem for the Brits to decide; it is the...It is a problem for the Brits to decide; it is their future, after all. Of course, what I just said is utter bullshit. The Brits have no more control over their destiny than we do. The politicians are running the show. Democracy today is no more than despotism dressed for dinner. But as Mr. Condell points out, the people are so stupid, not even they know enough to care. Yesterday, I read something Mustang wrote about technology being the new opiate of the masses. I think he is right.
