“If religion is the opiate of the people, then Europe is the opiate of the anti-social.” What a line! Further documentation of the decline of the west through the EU. In addition The Waendel Journal is great looking and a very interesting blog. Mr. Sharp has some things to say.

“What really matters? There are blurred lines between security for all and freedom for each, with only a shifting balance of probabilities.” We are in nothing less than a global fight for the rights of man!

For our friend Dana, and the other Libertarian leaning contributors at Common Sense…

“A government big enough to give you everything you want is a government big enough to take from you everything you have.” President Gerald Ford

Erin Go Bragh! “We are just protecting women’s rights to take their clothes off,” a Ryanair spokeswoman told Reuters.

Be afraid, be very afraid! Those who are more gifted than you understand that you can not be given the responsibility of unfettered speech.  ”Appeals to the right of self-expression also won’t justify unconditional press freedom. …Why should those who work in the media be exempt from the disciplines faced by others working in other powerful organisations? Press freedom, I suggest, needs more than a slogan; it needs the right structures.” The elitist left are so wonderfully smug in their condescension, are they not?

Everybody connected with this orgy of intolerance is dirty. Your humble messenger does not know who to slap first!

Okay we are stupid, but does he think we are this stupid? “The bottom line is, it’s a domestic violence issue,” Sheik Alaa El-Sayyed. ”El-Sayyed said Islam teaches that women have the right to choose whether or not they want to wear the hijab.” Hey Sheik, the messenger says to remember ”denial” is not just a river in Egypt! 

Herman should have had it so good! Oh, a factoid for you Progressively Dysfunctional Democrats “In the nearly 800 years of the writ’s existence, no English or American court has ever granted habeas relief to alien enemy soldiers captured and detained during wartime,”

Some economic wisdom from Tigerhawk.

Since early 2000 the 21st century American economy has grown through the collapse of the NASDAQ tech bubble and telecom investment bubble, the Enron/Worldcom era financial scandals and the massive new business regulation in response thereto, the first mass casualty attack on an American city since Sherman burned Atlanta, the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, the destruction of one of its three most important ports by natural disaster, a massive increase in the price of oil and natural gas, and the wiping out of a staggering amount of capital invested in subprime mortgage loans. Who other than the editors of the New York Times is surprised that our economy is resilient?

Remember your messenger can only report, he did not say this about the Democrats, this guy did! “Nothing exudes strength, courage, toughness and resolve like having your behavior continuously described — accurately — as “bowing,” “capitulating,” “backing down,” “caving” and “surrendering.” Those are the verbs Americans love most when looking for the party to lead them.”

“His death is 27 years overdue,” Some news that is close to being local. There more than a few jokes to be gleaned from this. Care to try?

If propaganda is designed to sap ones strength, to make one weary, then what is needed to win is “faith”. Faith as in “moral stamina”.

An inconvenient letter. “It is not possible to stop climate change, a natural phenomenon that has affected humanity through the ages.”
