Hot On The Heels Of The Appeasement Accusation

In a previous post, and in so many words, I accused the Swedes of engaging in appeasement towards Muslims when they removed from exhibit a piece of erotic art that contained verses from the Koran because some ragheads complained about it.

Well, I just found this wonderful piece written by Mathias Dopfner, CEO of Axel Springer, in Germany. It’s in German and the translation was found here.

Hang on to your hats as he SLAMS European complacency and COWARDICE!!!! and gives credit to Americans for having the courage to do what they refuse to.

Read it all below.

A few days ago Henry Broder wrote in Welt am Sonntag, “Europe - your family name is appeasement.” It’s a phrase you can’t get out of your head because it’s so terribly true.

Appeasement cost millions of Jews and non-Jews their lives as England and France, allies at the time, negotiated and hesitated too long before they noticed that Hitler had to be fought, not bound to toothless agreements.

Appeasement legitimized and stabilized Communism in the Soviet Union, then East Germany, then all the rest of Eastern Europe where for decades, inhuman, suppressive, murderous governments were glorified as the ideologically correct alternative to all other possibilities.

Appeasement crippled Europe when genocide ran rampant in Kosovo, and, even though we had absolute proof of ongoing mass-murder, we Europeans debated and debated and debated, and were still debating when finally the Americans had to come from halfway around the world, into Europe yet again, and do our work for us.

Rather than protecting democracy in the Middle East, European appeasement, camouflaged behind the fuzzy word “equidistance,” now countenances suicide bombings in Israel by fundamentalist Palestinians.

Appeasement generates a mentality that allows Europe to ignore nearly 500,000 victims of Saddam’s torture and murder machinery and, motivated by the self-righteousness of the peace-movement, has the gall to issue bad grades to George Bush… Even as it is uncovered that the loudest critics of the American action in Iraq made illicit billions, no, TENS of billions, in the corrupt U. N. Oil-for-Food program.

And now we are faced with a particularly grotesque form of appeasement. How is Germany reacting to the escalating violence by Islamic fundamentalists in Holland and elsewhere? By suggesting that we really should have a “Muslim Holiday” in Germany.

I wish I were joking, but I am not. A substantial fraction of our (German) Government, and if the polls are to be believed, the German people, actually believe that creating an Official State “Muslim Holiday” will somehow spare us from the wrath of the fanatical Islamists.

One cannot help but recall Britain’s Neville Chamberlain waving the laughable treaty signed by Adolph Hitler, and declaring European “Peace in our time”.

What else has to happen before the European public and its political leadership get it? There is a sort of crusade underway, an especially perfidious crusade consisting of systematic attacks by fanatic Muslims, focused on civilians, directed against our free, open Western societies, and intent upon Western Civilization’s utter destruction.

It is a conflict that will most likely last longer than any of the great military conflicts of the last century - a conflict conducted by an enemy that cannot be tamed by “tolerance” and “accommodation” but is actually spurred on by such gestures, which have proven to be, and will always be taken by the Islamists for signs of weakness.

Only two recent American Presidents had the courage needed for anti-appeasement: Reagan and Bush.

His American critics may quibble over the details, but we Europeans know the truth. We saw it first hand: Ronald Reagan ended the Cold War, freeing half of the German people from nearly 50 years of terror and virtual slavery. And Bush, supported only by the Social Democrat Blair, acting on moral conviction, recognized the danger in the Islamic War against democracy. His place in history will have to be evaluated after a number of years have passed.

In the meantime, Europe sits back with charismatic self-confidence in the multicultural corner, instead of defending liberal society’s values and being an attractive center of power on the same playing field as the true great powers, America and China.

On the contrary, we Europeans present ourselves, in contrast to those “arrogant Americans”, as the World Champions of “tolerance”, which even Otto Schily justifiably criticizes.

Why?

Because we’re so moral? I fear it’s more because we’re so materialistic, so devoid of a moral compass.

For his policies, Bush risks the fall of the dollar, huge amounts of additional national debt, and a massive and persistent burden on the American economy, because unlike almost all of Europe, Bush realizes what is at stake - literally everything.

While we criticize the “capitalistic robber barons” of America because they seem too sure of their priorities, we timidly defend our Social Welfare systems. Stay out of it! It could get expensive! We’d rather discuss reducing our 35-hour workweek or our dental coverage, or our 4 weeks of paid vacation, or listen to TV pastors preach about the need to “Reach out to terrorists, to understand and forgive”.

These days, Europe reminds me of an old woman who, with shaking hands, frantically hides her last pieces of jewelry when she notices a robber breaking into a neighbor’s house.

Appeasement? Europe, thy name is Cowardice.

Go, Condi, Go!!

Go, Condi, Go!!

I love this woman!  I wonder if she’d marry me?  (stares off dreamily........)

She is now in Europe causing the Euro-weenies to get their collective panties into a very tight wad.

If anyone thought she was going to go there to make nice with them, then this visit should prove otherwise.  I may be speaking prematurely but it sure seems she is much better than Colin Powell at this game.

In typical media-biased fashion CNN (communist news network) made a comment in the article that I have yet to see the relevance of regarding this visit:

Rice’s arrival in London comes after several days of unusually upbeat news out of Iraq, following Sunday’s nationwide elections for a transitional national assembly.

Go ahead, explain to me why they had to say, “unusually upbeat?” Does that not display their obvious prejudices on the war in Iraq.  There are no lack of “upbeat” stories out of Iraq.  Our government tries to get them out but the media has another agenda----Bush bad, Iraq War bad, Saddam good.

Fine Words

"Here’s my strategy on the Cold War: We win, they lose.”

“The most terrifying words in the English language are: I’m from the government and I’m here to help.”

“The trouble with our liberal friends is not that they’re ignorant: It’s just that they know so much that isn’t so.”

“Of the four wars in my lifetime, none came about because the U.S. was too strong.”

“I have wondered at times about what the Ten Commandment’s would have looked like if Moses had run them through the U.S. Congress.”

“The taxpayer: That’s someone who works for the federal government but doesn’t have to take the civil service examination.”

“Government is like a baby: An alimentary canal with a big appetite at one end and no sense of responsibility at the other.”

“If we ever forget that we’re one nation under God, then we will be a nation gone under.”

“The nearest thing to eternal life we will ever see on this earth is a government program.”

“I’ve laid down the law, though, to everyone from now on about anything that happens: no matter what time it is, wake me, even if it’s in the middle of a Cabinet meeting.”

“It has been said that politics is the second oldest profession; I have learned that it bears a striking resemblance to the first.”

“Government’s view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it.”

“Politics is not a bad profession. If you succeed there are many rewards; if you disgrace yourself you can always write a book.”

“No arsenal, or no weapon in the arsenals of the world, is so formidable as the will and moral courage of free men and women. “

Heros And National Holidays

Back in May of last year I reported on a brave Marine Captain Brian Chontosh, who was awarded the Navy Cross for unparalleled bravery under fire in Iraq.

Where is he now?

Well, Captain Chontosh picked up his medal at a ceremony in his home state of New York, packed his duffel, hopped on a plane and went back to Iraq to take command of India Company. He led the charge into Fallujah last November to clear out that pesthole. The guy has a set of stainless steel balls and he don’t like stupid questions from reporters. Read the story and you’ll see.

Sergeant York, Audie Murphy, Brian Chontosh .... where the hell do we find so many brave men like this?

In honor of Captain Chontosh, we are declaring this Sunday to be officially ....

While the Iraqis are voting we encourage everyone here in America to get out, hunt down a hippie and kick his teeth in. If no hippies can be found, feel free to substitute Kerry voters and/or MSM reporters. Happy Hunting!

The Gettysburg Address

What They Said About the Gettysburg Address

November 19th, 1863, Abraham Lincoln delivered this speech on the battlefield, one of the greatest presidential speeches in history; one of the greatest speeches in history, period. Look at the reaction to the Gettysburg address from the Harrisburg Patriot and Union, the Chicago Times, the Springfield Republican, and the Harrisburg Patriot and Union.

“Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation or any nation so conceived and so dedicated can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field as a final resting-place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead who struggled here have consecrated it far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living rather to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us—that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion—that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain, that this nation under God shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.”

The Harrisburg Patriot and Union wrote: “We pass over the silly remarks of the President; for the credit of the nation we are willing that the veil of oblivion shall be dropped over them and that they shall no more be repeated or thought of.”

The Chicago Times: “The cheeks of every American must tingle with shame as he reads the silly, flat, and dishwatery utterance.”

The London Times: “[T]he ceremony was rendered ludicrous by some of the sallies of that poor President Lincoln… Anything more dull and commonplace it would not be easy to produce.”

The Springfield Republican was surprised at how well Lincoln did, though, noting: “We had grown so accustomed to homely and imperfect phrase in his productions that we had come to think it was the law of his utterance.”

Tinfoil hats, barking moonbats and asshats are not a recent invention, they go way back. By the way Lincoln was practically the first Republican. He did not agree with the Democrat or Whig parties so, He campaigned for the newly founded Republican party in 1856.  In 1860 the Republicans, anxious to attract as many different factions as possible, nominated Lincoln for the presidency on a platform of slavery restriction, internal improvements, homesteads, and tariff reform.

His was also the only face on an American coin to face to the right. Until the Susan B. Anthony and Sacagawea dollar coins were made.  All other coins (Democrats) face to the left.

Your Turn

Wasn’t it great how often the president (and everyone else for that matter) brought up “GOD” today?  The invocation?  The best I’ve ever heard.  The President’s speech?  It’ll go down in history as one of the best.

It’s as if they wanted to rub the noses of the atheists and Democrats in it.  I can just see them huddled somewhere, giggling maniacally, putting all of this together.

GOD BLESS THE USA!!!

GO ahead, tell us how you feel.

It’s All About Fishing ….

There is an ancient proverb that says, “Give a man a fish and feed him for a day, teach a man to fish and feed him for a lifetime”. Here is today’s fishing story from Afghanistan ....

Afghanistan Sends Aid To Aceh

news24.com
17/01/2005

Kabul - Impoverished Afghanistan is to send tons of medical and other aid to tsunami-hit Indonesia, the defence ministry said on Monday.

Afghan airline Ariana will make its first ever flight from Kabul to devastated Banda Aceh in Indonesia with 20 medical personnel and supplies, said General Mohammed Azimi.

“Today at 2pm we will send a team of doctors, emergency experts and 30 tonnes of food, blankets and medical supplies to Banda Aceh,” Azimi said.

“A 20-strong team of doctors, nurses and relief workers and emergency experts will fly to Aceh and if needed we will send more help down there,” he added.

Afghanistan itself continues to be in severe need of international aid after years of drought and war, and has received multi-million dollar pledges for reconstruction work.

Kabul promised to send more help to Aceh once the disaster experts flying down there had reported back to say what is needed.

Are Americans “Stingy?”

In another great piece by Larry Elder, we get some great facts and figures regarding America’s stinginess:

American government provided 35 percent of worldwide relief aid

American individuals, estates, foundations and corporations gave over $240 billion to charitable causes in 2003

more than 80 percent of Americans belong to a “voluntary association,” and 75 percent of households report charitable contributions.

73 percent of Americans made a charitable contribution in the previous 12 months, as compared to 44 percent of Germans, and 43 percent of French citizens

the average sum of donations over 12 months was $851 for Americans, $120 for Germans, and $96 for the French

49 percent of Americans volunteered over the previous 12 months, as compared to 13 percent of Germans and 19 percent of the French.

17% of all the contributions to the world bank were made by the US---one nation out of 184 in the group

He’s got lots more stuff some of which is related to GDP numbers, our military spending numbers compared to others, etc.

Check it out.

While you’re at it, check out Ann Coulter’s sharp-tongued attack on those who complain about our largesse (like Al “Fuckwad” Franken)

The 21st Century’s Underground Railroad

In the 1800s we had people clandestinely providing refuge and transportation to slaves in an effort to get them from the South to the North.  That was a good thing.

Now we have a bunch of pacifist fucks doing the same thing trying to get as many deserters as possible to Canada.

That’s a bad thing.  Maybe.  Hmmm, now that I think about it, the US government ought to encourage this.  Really.  Deserters would come to a “Canada Loves You” office, the individuals would have DNA surreptitiously removed from them and they would be sent on their way.

Later, when they try to return, their DNA is detected and they are shot between the eyes.

That’d fix the desertion problem pretty quickly.  If they insist on going to the “railroad” then anyone associated with it also gets shot between the eyes.

Cowardly fucks!

I Like The Way He Thinks

Terrorism is now a basic fact of our daily lives.  We never know when they will strike or where.

Most terrorists are practitioners of Islam.

Something like 1% of Muslims or Muslim organizations have denounced these fucktards for what they are---terrorists.

To me, that makes Muslims a bunch of shithead ragheads right up there at the top of my list for a “bullet to the head” when the shit hits the fan.  Like President Bush said, “you’re either with us or against us.” Not having spoken out and taken firm action to stop terrorists puts most Muslims in the “against us” camp as far as I am concerned.

This leads me to David Atkins’ article on how we can assure ourselves of almost instantaneous support from sheetheads and rabid-assed dictatorships that support terrorists: MAD, or at least, a modified version of it just for our terrorist friends and their supporters.

Give it a read.  It’s delicious.

Banned!

Isn’t it amazing that in today’s political climate, this document would be banned in our schools and if displayed in a public building would result in a lawsuit from the ACLU? Read it and weep. This is George Washington’s official proclamation of the Thanksgiving holiday ....

Whereas it is the duty of all nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey His will, to be grateful for His benefits, and humbly to implore His protection and favor; and Whereas both Houses of Congress have, by their joint committee, requested me “to recommend to the people of the United States a day of public thanksgiving and prayer, to be observed by acknowledging with grateful hearts the many and signal favors of Almighty God, especially by affording them an opportunity peaceably to establish a form of government for their safety and happiness:”

Now, therefore, I do recommend and assign Thursday, the 26th day of November next, to be devoted by the people of these States to the service of that great and glorious Being who is the beneficent author of all the good that was, that is, or that will be; that we may then all unite in rendering unto Him our sincere and humble thanks for His kind care and protection of the people of this country previous to their becoming a nation; for the signal and manifold mercies and the favorable interpositions of His providence in the course and conclusion of the late war; for the great degree of tranquility, union, and plenty which we have since enjoyed; for the peaceable and rational manner in which we have been enable to establish constitutions of government for our safety and happiness, and particularly the national one now lately instituted for civil and religious liberty with which we are blessed and the means we have of acquiring and diffusing useful knowledge; and, in general, for all the great and various favors which He has been pleased to confer upon us.

And also that we may then unite in most humbly offering our prayers and supplications to the great Lord and Ruler of Nations and beseech Him to pardon our national and other transgressions; to enable us all whether in public or private stations, to perform our several and relative duties properly and punctually; to render our National Government a blessing to all the people by constantly being a Government of wise, just, and constitutional laws, discreetly and faithfully executed and obeyed; to protect and guide all governments, peace, and concord; to promote the knowledge and practice of true religion and virtue, and the increase of science among them and us; and, generally to grant unto all mankind such a degree of temporal prosperity as He alone knows to be best.

Given under my hand, at the city of New York, the 3d day of October, A.D. 1789.

-- G. Washington

Quote Of The Day

Back in London, I was having dinner in the Groucho Club—this week’s in-spot for what’s left of Britain’s lit gritz and nouveau rock riche—when one person started in on the Stars And Stripes. Eventually he got, as the Europeans always do, to the part about “your country’s never been invaded.” (This fellow had been two during the Blitz, you see.) “You don’t know the horror, the suffering. You think war is...”

I snapped.

“A John Wayne movie,” I said. That’s what you were going to say, wasn’t it? We think war is a John Wayne movie. We think life is a John Wayne movie—with good guys and bad guys, as simple as that. Well, you know something, Mister Limey Poofter? You’re right. And let me tell you who those bad guys are. They’re us. WE BE BAD.

We’re the baddest-ass sons of bitches that ever jogged in Reeboks. We’re three-quarters grizzly bear and two-thirds car wreck and descended from a stock market crash on our mother’s side. You take your Germany, France and Spain, roll them all together and it wouldn’t give us room to park our cars. We’re the big boys, Jack, the original, giant, economy-sized, new and improved butt kickers of all time. When we snort coke in Houston, people lose their hats in Cap D’Antibes. And we’ve got an American Express card credit limit higher than your piss-ant metric numbers go.

“You say our country’s never been invaded? You’re right, little buddy. Because I’d like to see the needle-dicked foreigners who’d have the guts to try. We drink napalm to get our hearts started in the morning. A rape and a mugging is our way of saying ‘Cheerio.’ Hell can’t hold our sock-hops. We walk taller, talk louder, spit further, fuck longer and buy more things than you know the names of. I’d rather be a junkie in a New York City jail than king, queen, and jack of all you Europeans. We eat little countries like this for breakfast and shit them out before lunch.”

Of course, the guy should have punched me. But this was Europe. He just smiled his shabby, superior European smile. (God, don’t these people have dentists?)

-- P.J. O’Rourke - “Holidays In Hell”

(-- thanks to Steel fer the best quote of the day)

Electoral College

Surely many of you have friends who are constantly whining about the electoral college.  Hell, for all I know, you may be one of those brainwashed into thinking that it is an outmoded idea.

The reason we need to keep it is plainly evident in this picture:

Take a look at the blue areas.  If we had elections based on popular vote do you REALLY want those TINY little blue areas (where most of our population is centered) to be telling the rest of this country what to do?

You may hear the surrender monkeys and other malcontents bemoaning the fact that our system is out of date and then go on to suggest we adopt something similar to theirs.  The difference is that in those countries population densities are much higher than ours.  Plus they are fuckhead foreigners again attempting to stick their noses into our business and attempting to “convert” us to a one-world thinking power.

Don’t be lulled by their siren song.  Our founders were incredibly brilliant.  We should not mess with a good thing.

What we need to be doing is looking at this map and think of the blue areas as a cancer we need to either heal or cut out.  By now you should know what my choice would be!  BWAH HA HA HA!!!
