The Liberal Mind

After many years of pondering your faithful correspondent has finally figured out what the liberal mind is all about.

The liberal is a person who thinks that he, or she. is a person who is putting into action the comfortable parts of the Sermon on the Mount. By "comfortable" this writer means those parts of the sermon that the liberal sees as societal instead of personal. They see your money as expendable and their behavior as excusable.

And as far as federal, state and municiple employees go, we at the Manor have only two words to say:
F*** You!

The bastards seem to win while the rest of us suffer.

Mosques, Proposition 8 and Liberals

By now, unless the reader has been living in a cave in Tibet, he or she is aware of the Ground Zero mosque controversy. In a sentence, the controversy involves the building of a mosque by the Orcs within a half block of the site of the attack on the Twin Towers in New York on September 11, 2001. The instigator of this sacrilege against the memory of the those murdered by Orcs (his name doesn't matter because Orc leaders are interchangeable) states that the building of this edifice is an act of peace-making and compassion by the Mohammedan community in the United States (oddly, the money for this insult is being provided by Saudi Arabia; the home country of 14 of 19 of the highjackers).

There have been, understandably, protests against the building of the mosque by right thinking people. The answer by the Orcs and their factota has been that the First Amendment of the United States Constitution guarantees their right to build said mosque.

Nobody denies that the Islamists have the right to build the mosque. The question has been the propriety and sensitivity of building the mosque. The building of the mosque has been compared to the building of a Shinto shrine at Pearl Harbor or the building of a memorial to Jefferson Davis across the street from the NAACP.
But the Muslims have no care for the sensitivity of anyone but themselves. They cry "insensitive!" whenever anyone walks past a halal market while eating a ham sandwich. It's always a one way street with them.
This part Friday The One, at a White House celebration of Ramadan) stated that he supported the building of the mosque. Then a few hours after his statement when there was a public outcry against the wisdom of his comments, his mouthpieces stated that he did not necessarily support the building of the mosque, he thought it was Constitutional though not sensitive. Well, The One is a dissembler of the most base sort and it is probably best to regard his first statements as his true thoughts and feelings instead of his corrections. After all, The One was trained as a lawyer and a speaker and is articulate in the way that most of us aren't.

Others, much more talented in expressing thought than this writer have addresses this issue, and links are listed below:

This past week, in California, the home of Nib Manor, there has been a bit of an excitement concerning Proposition 8. Proposition 8 was a ballot proposition voted on by voters in California that banned the marriage of gay people to one another.

Two weeks ago a federal judge (a gay man) overturned the stated wish of the voters by saying that the proposition was unconstitutional. Needless to say, there was celebration in San Francisco, West Hollywood and Long Beach. This past week there were a number of homosexuals of both sexes at county courthouses expecting to get marriage licenses, only to be denied while the federal court ponders the matter.

As usual, the liberal press and yakkers have come out in favor of gay marriage and have called opponents of gay marriage "insensitive."

In other words, the homosexual lobby and the Orcs have both twigged onto the same argument for bad behavior: those Who are against us are "insensitive."

And here is where is all comes together. Those who advocate bad behavior have placed themselves as spokesmen for Our Lord Jesus Christ. An Orc, who wants to kill you, argues that he is more of a Christian than you are because you are insensitive to his needs. And a queer claims that he is more a Christian than he is because you are insensitive to his needs. You, as a Christian, are expected to give and give and give while those who insult you or who behave badly and take and take and take, are called a bigot, a homophobe, and Islamophobe despite the fact that Jesus Christ said that the only Way to Him was though Him (not some crazy epileptic Arab who contradicted himself regularly) or that Christ condemned homosexuality and wanton sexuality.

You're the bad guy for wanting to preserve the soul of the United States. They are the good guy for wanting to destroy what made this nation great.

We here at the Manor have only two words to say. F*** 'Em.

Droubnd Zero Mosque

Could it be that the Serbs were right in regards to the Muslims?

Ann Rice

The author Anne Rice, the writer of the 1980s series of vampire novels beginning with The Interview With the Vampire, and who, several years ago claimed that she was a new born Christian of the Roman Catholic type, has, this week, declared that she renounces her identity as a Christian and that she is simply a follower of Christ.
Her declaration, imparted to the world at large via Twitter, states that she is upset with the infighting and anti-gay sentiment among those she calls Christians. Her statement shows that she knows little about the Faith.
To get down to cases, Anne Rice really has no idea about what a Christian is. A Christian is a person who adheres to one of the major confession (Apostles', Nicene, Chalcedonian). A Christian is a person who reads the Bible as literal and who, whether one agrees with what is written in the Bible, tries to adhere, to the best of one's ability, to the tenants of the the Bible.
Ms. Rice is showing herself to be a "Christianist". In other words, she thinks that Jesus is pretty much okay, but he may have gotten some things wrong. And she knows better than the Son of God.

Clowns

Remember back to your childhood when life was simpler and it was easy to laugh. One constant of childhood, up until about 25 years ago was the image of a clown. There was clown wallpaper in children's rooms, clown themed bibs, clown dolls and clowns hosting kids' television programs. As one grew older one lost one's appreciation for clowns because of the mistaken belief that clowns were beings for small children and just plain dumb.
But the fact of the matter is that, while those clowns that one was presented were pretty much childish and silly, those clowns were clowns for kids. They weren't real clowns of the classic sense. Real clowning is serious business and real clowns used to reflect the stupidest, the meanest and most frightening elements of our being. Consider the great clowns of the past. Emmett Kelly portrayed a character named Weary Willie. He was a sad sack tramp clown trying, in his own way, to better himself and failing. Red Skelton created Freddie the Freeloader, a tramp clown always looking for an easy life without putting out the work to earn it. Lou Adler (for many years the image of the Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Circus) created a clown who was bossy and stupid.
And it is because of, in this writer's opinion, that the classic clown (not kid clowns, not evangelist clowns, not mimes {the exception being Jacques Tati in his M.Hulot series of films}) is so despised by so many adults today. How many times have you heard, or you yourself have said, "I hate clowns" or "I'm afraid of clowns"? Could it be that the open, nay, grotesquely enthusiastic satirization of the worst features of the human condition. Clowns are, in a sense, an ugly mirror. In other words, look into this mirror and see who ugly you are despite the way you paint yourself (the clown's make-up).
Classical clowning has taken a lot of abuse from modern society in the West because the West has lost its Christian identity. To be a Christian is to realize that one is, by nature, deeply flawed and that there is a way to salvation through Christ. In times past, when the West was nominally Christian it was the norm to occasionally examine oneself and find and contemplate one's flaws and indwelling sins. The clown, in a humorous way, brought attention to the flaws. The clown represented the irreducable element of rascality that infects us all and the clown showed that to the audience and showed the consequences for not dealing with those flaws.
But we have, since then, as a society, lost our sense of shame. And it is considered an insult to have one's sins or flaws pointed out either by example (the clown method) or by direct comment (trying telling a friend or co-worker that he is acting like an idiot and see what your dental bill will be the next day). Clowns are creepy and "scary" because they are us
Nowadays, we still have clowns, but they are reality show personalities or celebrities. But before going into that factor of the unrecognized and oddly accepted and compelling clown, let us look at the three classic types of clowns and their bare-faced off-spring.
The first is the white-faced clown. The white-face, as well as painting his face white, wears very little other make-up. He rarely wears a rubber nose, but often a pointed cap. The white-face is a serious clown. He is self serious. He is a clown who knows more than he really knows, smarter than he really is. He is bossy and over-bearing.
The second is the Auguste clown. While often bearing a base of white make-up, the Auguste clown is usually more polychromatic, often with a rubber nose, a fringe wig and a horn or noisemaker of some sort. The Auguste clown appears, at first glance, to be rather stupid and often is stupid. He's usually the underling in some way to the white-face and is often abused by the white-face. In his bumbling and stumbling and apparent idiocy he often comes out in a better position than the white-face while the white-face thinks that he, himself, has come out on top.
Thirdly is the tramp clown. The tramp clown is usually a loner. He is usually rather lazy. He is a bit of a con man in some ways, but he's also a sad sack. Sometimes he is victorious in his endeavors but just as often he fails.
To bring it into classical popular film culture we can look at the Three Stooges. Moe is the white-face. Larry and Joe (or Curly or Shemp) are Auguste clowns. Bud Abbott is the white-face. Lou Costello is the Auguste. Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton are tramp clowns.
Television and the celebrity culture has created a whole new variation of clowns without the consumer or the clowns realizing it. Consider such "reality" television programs as "Jersey Shore" or "Keeping Up With the Kardashians." The former features the "real" lives of a group of self-described "Guidos" with the most stereotypical New Jersey accents seeming to live lives of endless partying and coupling. The most famous of the group is a rather troll-like big-breasted young woman called Snookie who seems to live in a tanning booth when she isn't walking around looking like a desperate prostitute on Century Blvd when Hollywood Park isn't in season. The second program features three slut sisters, one at the moment married to a basketball player, living the lush life in Florida and experiencing "crisis" after "crisis". The women make stupid decisions, over-react to setbacks like to show off their zaftig figures.
Both programs are of the type that draw from their audiences reactions such as, "I wouldn't do THAT!", or "How could he do THAT!", or "How could somebody be so STUPID?" Well, the reason is because those people in those programs are doing the things that the viewer would do if given the opportunity. Or at least consider it. The only differences between Snookie or Kim and Lou Adler are that Snookie and Kim wear a different type of make-up and that the viewer, because neither Snookie nor Kim are in clown make-up, does not see themselves in Snookie or Kim in the way they saw themselves in Lou Adler. The audience also, because the programs are billed as "reality" shows, thinks that it is watching a person's real life, when, in fact, it is watching a performance that the performers do not realize is a performance. The clown is performing without the fourth wall of the stage, which makes the performance more personal for the viewer. The "reality" "Star" is in a play of his or her own making and there is a separation between the viewer and the performer that the viewer find comfortable because he/she is not directly addressed with his/her flaws.
The antics of Lindsey Lohan and Mel Gibson are other examples of the contemporary clown. We watch Lindsey on her descent towards turning tricks on Sunset Blvd and click our tongues and wonder how she could, given all the advantages of her life, be so damn stupid and delusional. But we refuse to see that she is, in a sense, a sin eater. We look at her as a young woman on her way down without realizing that she embodies by her behavior the worst qualities of all of us. And that is the point. We refuse to see because she, because of her fame and wealth, is so far away from most of us that we really don't care. She's a side show. A geek of sorts. But since she's not wearing a rubber nose we can always say something like, "Well, that's the way the rich live. They have too much money and they get to get away with the things I would if I had the money." Lindsey, despite her lack of rubber nose, is seen as a much different creature than the Auguste at the one tent circus that came through your town this summer. The viewer identifies less with Lindsey than he/she does with a circus clown.
Mel Gibson is the celebrity white-face clown. Self-involved, self-serious, a control freak. His rants against his Russian slut ex-girlfriend which have been aired for the past few weeks are comical. He started out the relationship reflecting the sin of lust and, once the heat of lust died out and the arrival of a bastard child and money became involved, he exhibited the sins of pride, anger and drunkeness. His performance reflects the perfect white-face attitude -- "I'm right. You're wrong. How dare you oppose me." The Russian slut ex-girlfriend played the Auguste clown perfectly. She has, so far, come out on top despite the fact that she has shown herself to be a slut and a crook. We laugh and act shocked at Gibson's rants, but we are refusing to face the fact that he is acting out the thoughts that all of us would have if we were in a similar situation. And know this, we are all a lot closer to finding ourselves in a variation of Gibson's problem than we'd like to admit.
This writer, being of a rather Victorian attitude, wishes that clowns were restricted to the circus, the Punch and Judy Show or the theater where the clowns are honest clowns and not celebrities or "reality" "stars". At least in the circus or theater the clown whacks one across the face with an inflated pig's bladder to make one realize that the real clown is YOU and ME. The circus clown is the homunculus that entertains us while throwing darts at us. The Celebrity and the "Reality Star" are like performing dogs that crap and copulate while they are supposed to be walking tight-ropes. They are jokes, but we refuse to realize the the joke is not only on us. The joke is us.
And if the reader should wonder what clowns we here at the Manor favour, the answer is Rosencrans and Guildenstern.
And, if the reader should maintain that politicians are clowns, your faithful correspondent can only reply that politicians are not clowns. Politicians are buffoons. They do not have the self awareness of clowns.

The Sluttification of Music

It may be due to the age of your faithful correspondent, but this writer has felt for the past twenty years that many popular female singers have confused being a slut with being smokey,erotic or sexy.
When we here at the Manor were callow youths the average "girl" singer in rock music, such as Linda Ronstadt or Janet Joplin, were considered rather outre' by appearing on stage wearing hot pants while they either stood before, or held, a microphone. There were no gyrations, no dry-humping the mike stand, no tit flashing.
When the creature now known as Madonna appeared on the scene all that changed. That crazy chick, in such of popularity and the big buck, realized that she could make a lot of money and get a lot of popularity by portraying herself as the equivalent of the high school "easy girl". In other words, she gave the idea that she's lay down and lift her dress for you if you told her that you loved her -- or even liked her-- as long as you didn't call her a slut. And she'd do the same thing for any guy who made the same tacit agreement.
Since that time when Madonna was singing "Like A Virgin" she has given birth to a whole lot of musical children ranging from Britney Spears to Lady Gaga to Katy Perry to Miley Cyrus. One wonders when the whole chain of nonsense will stop. A tit flash? A beaver shot on stage? Perhaps a little fellatio on stage?
And the whole wonder is that from Madonna on the result has not been the expression of love, desire or longing. In fact, they have not even been sexy or erotic. They have been expressions of the most base animal instincts akin to watching a bull and cow mating in a pasture.
Why is it that the performances of Peggy Lee, Rosemary Clooney, Julie London, Jane Monheit and Diane Krall, among a few others, reflect a more sexy or erotic sense than to the current crop of slut singers? None of them dress(ed) like cheap whores, none of them dance(ed) like drunken pole dancers, and all of them sang (or sing) doing nothing more than standing or sitting in front of microphones.
Here's a Tom Waits' song sung by Diane Krall that has nothing to do with love or sex. And yet it expresses a sense of longing that Madonna and her musical offspring have shown themselves unable to express:

A Bit o' Dis an' a Bit o' Dat, Bruddas an' Wahines

The always thoughtful and interesting thinker, Sir Mike of Whittier, sent this writer a file that showed the actual stoning of a young woman in some Islamic country. The young woman, and she was a young woman -- not more than eighteen -- was condemned to stoning by the local sharia court for the crime of refusing to marry a man some 21/2 to 3 times older than she.
Needless to say, your faithful correspondent was repulsed by the video. He was repulsed for two reasons. The first reason is because the stoning took place at all. The second was because he was curious enough to actually watch it from beginning to end. It was not a nice thing to watch. It was cruel, disgusting and inhuman; especially since those taking part in the stoning were so enthusiastic in the hurling of rocks and cinderblocks. It was the type of execution that makes the gas chamber, the electric chair, hanging or the firing squad look merciful in comparison. It was an example of mass hysteria directed toward a a girl with the participants recording the incident on their cell phones.
And that goes to show the sickness of the whole incident. Men who were able to access the world through their computers and cells phones were participating in an action that is pre-medieval . In fact pre- Christian. And those Jews who claim to know something about their history claim that the Mosaic injunction to stone adulterers has never been observed among the Tribe. Giving Orcs such tools as cell phones and computers is akin to giving an infant a Zippo lighter. No only is there the possibility that said infant will burn himself; the brat may burn down your house.
For those who wish to see a sanitized version of the stoning, there is this. Note that Wolfe Blitzer is not outraged at the crime. But he is a professional and an apologist for little brown babies who he feels are too damn stupid to be brought into some semblance of civilized behaviour. And remember that the Kurds are supposed to be the "good guys" in Iraq and Iran:

For those readers of this blog who read fiction, this writer would suggest that the reader buy Andrew Klavan's Empire of Lies. The books has just come out in mass-market paperback and is also available for the Amazon Kindle.
The novel is NOT politically correct. It is also NOT the usual political/terrorist thriller. Mr. Klavan has taken a Christian man with a past of which he is ashamed and put him into a situation in which he is tempted, performs acts for which he is ashamed, and a man who is willing to examine himself. It is a novel that combines the thriller genre with the type of introspection that one usually finds in the "art" silk stocking writer like John Cheever or John Updike. And Klavan has a wicked sense of humor, as is evinced by this clip:
YouTube - The World According to Andrew Klavan
Mel Gibson has shown himself, over the past couple of years to be a bit of a lout. Several years ago he got heat for telling am Los Angeles Sheriff's deputy (who was a Jew) that he could smell a Jew (which, apparently he could because he seems to have found the only Jewish deputy sheriff on the force since Sherman Block retired) and calling a female deputy "Sugar-tits."
Gibson was drunk at the time, which is no excuse for bad behaviour. After all, William Faulkner was a big binge drinker and never bothered anyone while he was drinking off his latest novel.
Now Mr. Gibson is getting grief for some things that his paramour, mother of his youngest child and aide in the wrecking of his marriage, recorded him saying. Admittedly, Mr. Gibson spoke like a lout and asshat. He called the woman a whore, a slut, a tart. He used the words "nigger" and "wetback", he threatened to burn down her dwelling. The woman claims that he brought physical violence upon her by punching her in the mug and knocking out a tooth veneer.
This writer has no sympathy for Mr. Gibson in his rant. No man should speak to any woman in the way that he did. But Mr. Gibson was standing forth in a private conversation. This writer knows of cases in which the wife says such things as, "I wish you were dead. I hope you die" to her husband. Lovers and married people often say very cruel things to one another; things that would make them join the French Foreign Legion to get away from those remarks if they were publicized at their workplace, church or country club.
But this writer has to ask the question of why, exactly, was the woman recording the conversations or rant? And why did the woman not call the cops once she was punched in the face by Mr. Gibson? Could it be that she is out for a bit of the long green? After all, she's a Russian and Russians who have come to the US since the "end" of the Cold War have shown themselves to be schemers, wide boys and crooks.
This reader is not giving Mr. Gibson a pass on his bad bevhaviour. He has, in the past claimed to be a devout Catholic, and this writer expects him to behave like a believing and devout Catholic. His language has been inappropriate, but nothing more. He's shown himself to be an asshat, but he does have the right to say to his cumbucket what he wants as long as he doesn't punch her lights out.
And having seen his "girlfriend" this writer wonders why Mr. Gibson would have severed his marriage vows for the plastic, siliconed "hottie." Apparently, a youth spent in Australia has ruined this idiot. He should have spent more time time downing Foster's lager and less time thinking about the state of his penis.

Legally Forced Charity

Do you, the reader, contribute to charities of one sort or another? By contribute, this writer means voluntarily contribute.
We here at the Manor regularly contribute to the Salvation Army, as well as other religious charities that provide assistance to the poor and/or down-trodden throughout the United States and the world. Our Lord tells us to provide assistance to the widow and the orphan.
But those in power in the United States government have long decided that no how much you give, of your own free will, to the needy you should give more. This writer is not referring to unemployment benefits which the newly unemployed have contributed to while they were employed. This writer is referring to welfare, both state and local as well as national, food stamps, free health care and free higher education.
We have been forced to give to charities (government operated charities, which is the most inefficient form) that support in high style, not only illegal aliens, but people who are the third and fourth generation of welfare recipients.
The government is considering the idea that high speed Internet connection is a "right" and will probably soon subsidize said Internet connections to the "poor". Through the use of EBT cards in California the working man and woman is forced to subsidize the gambling habits and drinking habits of the "poor."
Some years ago an man in Africa was asked why he wanted to immigrate to the US. His reply was, "I want to live in a country where the poor people are fat."
We are a long way from the East Side of London in the 1880s or Hell's Kitchen in the 1890s. No body is starving in the streets. In fact, the average resident of Section 8 housing in the US is living in a better, and better wired structure than we are here at the Manor. We have been conservative with our finances, we have worked, we have been responsible. And we have, as well as we have been able, been charitable. And the state and national governments have punished us by denying us our hard earned cash so that a person who has never worked in his or her life is able to buy a 42 inch flat screen television and a 12 pack of Old Milwaukee daily.
It's enough to gag a maggot.

We Are Being Governed By Children and Judged By Liars

This weekend we celebrate our separation from Great Britain and the founding of our dear nation. It behooves us all to re-read the Declaration of Independence and appreciate the wisdom of out founding fathers and mourn the rejection of their wisdom by the legal and political elites of the present-day United States.
A citizen's required reading for July 4th: The Declaration of Independence (with music) | Top of the Ticket | Los Angeles Times
This week there were hearings in the United States Senate concerning the confirmation of Elaine Kagan for a seat on the United States Supreme Court. The hearings were troubling in many ways.
First of all, Ms. Kagan, who has no experience as a judge, has shown herself unable to give a straight answer to many questions addressed to her. She was not even willing to claim the authorship of a document that was written during her tenure in the White House despite the fact that the document was written in her handwriting. She would only say that it was her handwriting on the document, not that she actually wrote it. There are only three possibilities that arise from her answer: she wrote it, she was taking dictation or the document was a forgery. The latter two options are unlikely, so one can only assume that she wrote the document and was too embarrassed to admit that she wrote it.
Ms. Kagan, just a few days before the Glorious Fourth, stated that she does not feel that the Declaration of Independence is a Prologue to the Constitution and, thus, carries the same weight as the Constitution in the interpretation of the legality of issues coming before the court. The reader may ask himself what is the point of the founders to have enumerated the many arguments against the Crown instead of just telling Geo III to get stuffed if they did not intend, upon the founding of the nation, they did not intend to correct those insults to freedom that Great Britain perpetrated upon the Americans.
The Democrats (known here at the Manor as the Evil Party) have greeted Kagan during the hearings as the belle of the ball. The Republicans (known at the Manor as the Stupid Party) have been unwilling to pose hard questions. Kagan herself once wrote that the abusive hearings when Robert Bork was nominated to the Supreme Court were to be considered a model for future hearings. One can only suppose that she (and the Evil and the Stupid) feel that an exception should be made in her case.
The following clip shows absolute childishness of some members of the Senate. The very fact that this Senator was not hooted down by her fellow Senators just goes to show that the Senate is no longer the thinking body that it once was:
Breitbart.tv » Girl Talk! Klobuchar to Kagan: Let’s Talk ‘Twilight’
This writer would urge the reader to read not only the Declaration of Independence, but also the Constitution as we celebrate the true founding of this great nation. And as the reader peruses the documents this writer asks the following question:
Was there anything in either document that was really opaque or unclear despite the older form of English?
If one grew up reading the King James Bible (or in the case of Roman Catholics, the Douy-Reims Bible), the language in both documents is dead simple and easily understood.
There are people, mostly Constitutional lawyers who stand to make a buck, who claim that the Constitution is unclear and fuzzy. These same lawyers are men and women who see themselves as high priests of Constitutional interpretation in the same way that the Gnostics saw things in the Holy Writ that are not there.
Americans should read the Constitution in the same way that Fundamentalists and Evangelicals read the Bible. The plain reading of the Bible and the Constitution is the right reading. There are metaphors in the Bible, but they are limited to the Poetic books. Everything is made as a clear and definite statement. There are no metaphors in either the Declaration nor the Constitution. Our founders wrote what they meant and they meant what they wrote, and until a mentally benighted group has the desire and power to write a new constitution the branches of government have no write to "interpret" our founding documents. Despite the desires of some, the government of the United States is not a priesthood performing mystical rites and writing quasi-theological tomes to maintain the state of the nation.
Our first President stated that government was like fire; a useful tool and fearsome master. Our current president has decided to use the government as a master. He is a man who is standing on the shoulders of giants and who has decided to urinate on their heads in his march toward a nation of subjects living at the whims of the government instead of a nation of free citizens.
Let us, on this day dedicated to the remembrance of those great men. so much more wise than we pygmies, remember that we are a nation of free men and women and that the government is an ugly tool that is supposed to serve us and not we it.
We are a free and sovereign nation. We are not at the beck and call of the "world" or the United Nations.

This is Your Ally

You may not be interested, but Islam is interested in you.
Pakistan poses as an ally in our battle against Islamo-Fascism, but their degree of co-operation has, among thinking people, long been suspect.
This article from the U.K. Telegraph points out some things that our leaders are either ignorant of, or are keeping from us.

Pakistan spy agency controls the Taliban and plans attacks - Telegraph

If our American leaders had any damn sense at all (which they do not have) they'd concentrate more on an alliance with India in the war against the Orcs for the simple reason that India is a more Western nation than Pakistan, is less swayed by the Orcs, and has English as one of its official languages.

A Little Reading and a Little More Watching

We here at the Bloody Nib Manor have been watching with interest the developments of the proposed building of a mosque right hard next to Ground Zero in New York. And we have been appalled by the city fathers deigning to grant permission for the building of what the Mohammedans plan to call the Cordoba Center (for those who do not know their history, Corboda, Spain, was the center of Mohammedanism in Spain up until the Spanish monarchs finally came to their sense and forced the Mohammedists to leave the area. It was also the site of the largest mosque in Spain, which was a precursor for the planned Islamization of Europe).

Needless to say, the ever-lovely Lady Nib and this writer wonder what the government of New York City was thinking when they decided to allow the building of the mosque. We can only assume that the drones running New York feared being called "racists" or "ant-Muslim" more than they feared the wrath of New Yorkers and the nation as a whole. The bureaucrat considers the masses as an inconvenient burden, while the vocal minority as a threat. Instead of growing a thick-skin the bureaucrat caters to those they consider "little brown babies." In other words, the public opinion has to learn to suck up insults while the minority is so frail and ignorant that they have to be indulged until it grows up. The problem is that the "little brown baby" never grows up as long as it's treated as a baby.

In the Middle East Christians have long learned that giving ground to the Mohammedans in the quest of peace is a losing proposition. Our various governments (Federal, state and local) have all, apparently, been reading from the Neville Chamberlain playbook -- waving a paper crying "Peace in our time" while the enemy is building bombs that will be dropped in month's time.

Here's an article about an Egyptian Copt priest who has long been speaking against that nonsense called Islam, and who has been doing so so effectively that millions of Mohammedans every year wise up and convert to Christianity. And the Islamic "scholars", unable to answer his criticisms of Islam, don't even try to argue with him. They try to ignore him:

Here are two videos concerning the building of the Cordoba Center that may be of interest:

And finally, the reader (being as all Bloody Nib readers are well informed on current matters) may be aware that Helen Thomas, the ancient White House correspondent who is suspected of personally knowing Andrew Jackson, showed herself to be the crazy aunt in the attic. She's made a half hearted apology and explanation, but it sounds like the young man discovered naked in bed with a girl and wearing panties on his head by the girl's father --- "We were only playing Parcheesi and our clothes suddenly flew off."

And finally, as trivial as it may seem, this writer misses Julie Bandaras on Fox News. Lovely voice, lovely black hair and lovely black eyes. And a consummate professional. This writer wishes her all good things in her new role as a mother and hopes that she soon returns to Fox.

Memorial Day and the Orcs

This Memorial Day this writer urges the reader to remember and honor those who have laid down their lives to maintain our freedoms.
This writer's father was a Marine during World War Two, and his uncle was a soldier during World War Two. His great uncle was killed in France during World War One, and his great-great grandfather was a veteran of the Civil War.
It takes blood to maintain freedom.

Thinking Noo Yawkers have set themselves against the building of a mosque at the site of the World Trade Center. This writer has, in the past, never had much use for New Yorkers, but let us hope that they will hold their position and that, if the city council decides to let this insult go through, they pour sand into the crankcases of the bulldozers and cranes that are used to build the evil edifice:

A couple o' kines o' da kine

Back in the days of the Cold War there was a saying that went something like this:
"You may not be interested in Communism, but the Communists are interested in you."

We can update the saying to, " You may not be interested in Islam, but Islam is interested in you."

Be aware that the Orcs are planning to build a mosque/Islamic Center right hard up against the former sight of the Twin Towers in New York. Their flaks and spokesmen say that the building is intended to be an expression of "peace and harmony." Be assured that they are trying to lull the American public into warm and fuzzy feelings towards Mohammedanism while the Orcs attempt to change the American Democratic Republic into a dhimmi state of the Caliphate. It may sound racist or intolerant, but one cannot trust any Muslim. Their Koran states repeatedly that they have no requirement to be truthful towards kafirs. And if you are reading this, you are a kafir. And if, by chance, you are a Muslim reading this, this writer has only one thing to say: "Wise up and dump that Mohammad nonsense and get the real deal by reading the New Testament."

Mark Steyn, as well as being a prolific writer, is a writer who always demands some thought.
Here he takes on the nonsense of The One and his factota:

A Stew o' Stuff

The above cartoon was drawn by an unknown artist as part of the Draw a Cartoon Mohammad Day observance this past week. We, here at Bloody Nib Manor, are looking forward to the day when this cartoon will be printed on tee-shirts, bike bags and coffee mugs. Our "friends" at CAIR and the Muslim Students' Association may object to the cartoon, but to be crude (and to the point), Screw 'em. They came here to live with us. We didn't go to live with them.
Speaking of which, things are not so good for Christians living in Egypt. In fact, the Copts, who have a history in Egypt going back seven centuries prior to the advent of Mohammedanism, have decided that their burden as Dhimmis in the nation has gotten so burdensome that they, and their expatriate co-religionists, are actually protesting the treatment of Christians and Christian Copts in Egypt:

This writer suggests that we, as Christians and/or Westerners, boycott Muslims in this country. Muslims have nothing to offer us. In fact, they act as leeches feeding upon our work, ethics, morals, tolerance and freedoms. They live here on the interest that the Protestant (and later European Roman Catholic and Jewish) ethos created while trying to destroy that ethos along with their atheist and liberal cohorts:

This writer, from Great Britain, seems to have finally woken up to the double standard that the liberal and politically correct crowd have created and try their best to maintain:

While we wouldn't dare say 'boo' to a Muslim here, Christians are persecuted in a Muslim country – Telegraph Blogs

The mainstream media's and liberal platoons have been, for some while, cutting excuses for the bad behaviour of Mohammedans.
Your faithful correspondent has long held to the position that making excuse for the bad behaviour of minorities is a form of racism. The liberal position is the "little brown babies" argument. In other words,the minority is so ignorant and so un-evolved that it really can not be expected to understand right from wrong. At the same time the liberal and sob sister is outraged because his or her Yorkshire Terrier does not naturally understand that it's not the right thing to crap on the heirloom Persian rug.

Muslims Are Vile and Stupid

This week Muslims in Sweden attacked one of the artists who drew the famed Motoon cartoons. They not only attacked him personally, but they also attempted to set fire to his house.
When was the last time you heard of a Christian group trying to pull off the same gag?
Muslims are vile and awfully ignorant.

Men's Health

Have you, the reader, ever had the misfortune of visiting the magazine stand at the local supermarket and, while looking for the latest copy of Sports Afield or Saga, come across a publication called Men's Health? And have you ever had the misfortune of picking up said publication and leafing through it?
This writer, because of forces beyond his control, has been forced to look through several issues of Men's Health and has come to the conclusion that, despite its title, the magazine is really about gay men's fashion and style. There are a few articles concerning health and heterosexual relations, but much of the magazine is taken up with photographs of men that are intended to appeal to gay men. i.e. muscular men wearing whitey tighties with their crotches aimed at the camera or men of somewhat dubious sexuality wearing clothes that no regular straight man would wear.
The magazine seems to be obsessed with the idea of muscularity as an appearance instead of a tool. In the past men wanted strength that did something instead of looked like something. This writer remembers a time when it was more impressive for a man to bend a length of rebar in his bare hands than it was for him to look like a muscular freak. When this writer was young the obsession for muscles for appearance was considered freakish. No man wanted a pot belly, but few men aspired to a six pack. Strength was a function. Not an appearance.
Men's Health magazine is a kind of Cosmopolitan magazine for gay men. Real men (and this writer holds to the idea that real men are men who like women and are not homosexual) want to look at attractive women and not men. Real men want to know how to get from one day to the next instead of what type of tea to drink.
Back in the day when your faithful correspondent was a young man and a boy the traditional men's interest magazines were Esquire, Sports Afield, Hot Rod and Playboy. Then the ads were directed towards products such as Edgewood pipe tobacco,Remington shotguns, Hooker Headers and Old Spice after shave -- all featuring photos of young lovely women wearing not much instead of some crotch shot of a half boy/ half girl.
Times have changed. And not for the better.

Hey! Kanye West!!

Your faithful correspondent wishes to thank his cousin, Duke, for his filling in on this space last week. To be truthful, this writer was unable to understand a word Duke wrote, but it must have made some sort of sense. And the Duke makes a mean moco loco. Shaka, bra! Bust da mout'.
But to get to the topic of the week. Others have said it before: President Obama doesn't care for white people. And, apparently neither do Kanye West, Sean Penn or Mike Meyers. Jackie and Dunlap put it best:

Da Guest Post

(Editor's Note: Your faithful correspondent is now in Ceylon checking on the state of his and the Lovely Lady Nib's tea plantations. Because of this writer's absence from the American scene he has asked his cousin, Duke Ka'amena'acha of Kauai, Hawaii to fill in for this post.)
