Conservatives deal with facts and reach conclusions; liberals have conclusions and sell them as facts.
No comment: A vicar was in hospital last night after being attacked in his churchyard by two youths in what is being treated as a ‘faith hate’ crime. Canon Michael Ainsworth, 57, was kicked and punched in the head as one of the attackers screamed “f***ing priest”. He was left
Continue readingThe moral equivalence crowd, the one that says all cultures are created equal, except that non-Western cultures are better than others, is going to have to pretzel itself severely to deal with this one: Homosexuals deserve to be executed or tortured and possibly both, an Iranian leader told British MPs
Continue readingIt wasn’t bad enough that Scotland Yard was probably infiltrated by anti-government Islamist working for the Jihad. That’s carelessness, although probably inexcusable carelessness. Nope. What’s really disgusting is that Britain has announced to the world that an Israeli politician is banned from entering England because he criticized England, while a
Continue readingOne of Obama’s (and Clinton’s) many sins is the desire to nationalize medicine, so that the government gets to decide who deserves treatment and who doesn’t. Britain, as always, serves as a useful horrible example of what can happen under such a system: A 61-year-old grandmother has been denied vital
Continue readingYou recall the uproar a few weeks ago when the Archbishop of Canterbury said that it’s unfair for Muslims to have to follow British law and that it would be a good thing to incorporate elements of Sharia law into British law. It turns out that he’s not the only
Continue readingI’ve always had a soft spot in my heart for England. I adore British history, especially because I’ve always admired its trajectory towards true enlightenment. It had all the bad qualities of other European nations — serfs, Crusades, slavery, inhumane work conditions, etc. — but it always seemed to shake
Continue readingTwo excellent articles out of England about the folly behind the Archbishop’s idea: Our British laws are there to protect Muslim women What parallel sharia means in practice
Continue readingI would like to be upset with what the British judge did, but I think he’s right: The country’s top judge has dealt a significant blow to a key plank of the Government’s anti-terrorism legislation after he overturned the convictions of five Muslim men jailed last year for downloading and
Continue readingI don’t really know what to say here. This is just so sad. If I had to guess, I’d say it was a combination of unlimited immigration, unlimited welfare, and the stagnant economy of the socialist state: More than 2.2 million British children – one in five – now live
Continue readingLater today, a government’s representative is going to make the following important announcements: Western governments have “the moral imperative to intervene – sometimes militarily – to help spread democracy throughout the world.” The same speaker says that “fostering democracy in the Middle East ‘is the best long-term defence against global
Continue readingI was trying to set up a post that selectively quotes from Melanie Phillips’ articles explaining the utter insanity behind the Archbishop of Canterbury’s muddled remarks about bringing sharia law into the British legal system — but I couldn’t. Each paragraph is so information-packed and important that (a) I couldn’t
Continue readingApparently even locking up Al Qaeda guys for decades is inadequate to squelch the trouble they foment: Prison officers are struggling to control a group of al-Qaeda terrorists who are clashing with other serious offenders in one of Britain’s high-security jails. Frankland Prison, County Durham, holds an estimated 20 al-Qaeda
Continue readingThe most famous Archbishop of Canterbury was the martyred Thomas a Becket, a man who was ostensibly the victim of a political assassination, yet who essentially died for his faith. He’d been a hard living young man but, when his best friend Henry II invested him as Archbishop of Canterbury,
Continue readingThe AP phrases the story as one about Brits “losing their grip on reality” because they think historical figures are mythical. This is not a reality problem, though. This is sheer pig-ignorance, the end result of a country that is so busy teaching political correctness, that it has phased out
Continue readingI would dearly love to see us stop funding Islamists by buying oil from the Middle East. To me, that means two things: examining our own oil sources (ANWAR, anyone?) and/or developing alternative energies. As everyone who visits this blog knows, though, I’ve been extremely hostile to biofuels, which I
