White Britons a Minority in UK by 2066?
Weaver

Posted under Europe & Immigration

Unless native Britons take a stand, that could well be the UK’s future. It makes little difference whether the year is pushed back to 2080 or even 2100 if the result is the same. In order for the United Kingdom to survive, these trends must not merely be halted but reversed.

And if South Africa, the much heralded “Rainbow Republic”, is any indication: Affirmative action and other special rights will continue to exist in the UK for nonwhites well after native Brits have become a minority.

The Scottish Sun writes:

— 2050: Britain will be most ethnically diverse nation
— 2066: White Britons will be in the minority in UK

BRITAIN will be the world’s most ethnically diverse Western nation after 2050, a bombshell study has found.

A massive influx of immigrants has given the UK the fastest-rising percentage of ethnic minority and foreign-born populations.

Gay Athletes and Stereotypes
RedPhillips

Posted under Culture War & Homosexuality & Political Correctness & Science

One of the alleged benefits of NBA player Jason Collins coming out of the closet is that it will contradict the stereotype of the effeminate homosexual. At the same time homosexuals want us to believe that homosexuality is biologic and not just a choice. Well I’ve got news for the homosexual lobby. They are trying to have it both ways. Some of the strongest evidence that homosexuality is biologic is that it is generally accompanied by other traits. Low and behold, effeminate boys often grow up to be gay men. So the reason there is a stereotypes is because it happens to be true, something I’m sure most gays intuitively understand. So the gay lobby needs to make up its mind. Do they want to abolish stereotypes or do you want people to acknowledge that homosexuality is biologic? They can’t have it both ways.

President of the Vegetarian Institute Says There is a Vegetarian Case for Forced Meat Eating Bill
RedPhillips

Posted under Humor & Political Philosophy

Obvi Usfraud, the new President of the Vegetarian Institute, who was recently installed following a coup by wealthy donors from the meat packing industry, says that there is a vegetarian case for the recently defeated Forced Meat Eating Bill. In an op-ed piece for no less than the New York Times, he writes:

Last week, senators blocked a compromise measure that would have compelled vegetarians to eat meat, despite polls that showed that 90 percent of the public supported the idea.

I’m a vegetarian who played a role in reducing forced meat eating in the nation’s capital. In 2008, in a landmark case I helped initiate, Heller v. District of Columbia, the Supreme Court declared for the first time that the Constitution protects an individual right to be vegetarian.

But the stonewalling of the forced meat eating bill was a mistake, both politically and substantively. Following a series of tragic cases of protein deficiency, public opinion is overwhelmingly in favor of reasonable legislation forcing vegetarians to eat some meat. There was also plenty in the proposal that vegetarians like me could embrace.

The compromise — carefully negotiated by two moderate vegetarian supporters, Senators Joe Manchin III, Democrat of West Virginia, and Patrick J. Toomey, Republican of Pennsylvania — should be reintroduced in the Senate. I am convinced that, with some modifications, it could still be passed, because it would add reasonable protections for both vegetarians and those concerned about protein deficiency.

Sounds reasonable to me.

President of Cato Institute Says There is a Libertarian Case for Manchin-Toomey Background Check Bill
RedPhillips

Posted under Political Philosophy

Those who thought Ed Crane’s ouster from Cato would be bad for the allegedly libertarian think tank’s direction, now have more proof.

New Cato President Robert Levy says there is a libertarian case for Manchin-Toomey. He says so in an op-ed in the New York Times. With friends like these?

Whatever the faults of Ed Crane, I doubt he would have written an op-ed in the New York Times defending gun control. What is the point of such a spectacle other than attempting to establish your “reasonable” street cred? I hope the Koch brothers are proud.

The Wall Street Journal Goes After Rand Paul Again
RedPhillips

Posted under Interventionism & Media & Police State & Rand Paul

The War … err … I mean Wall Street Journal has gone after Rand Paul again. We discussed the last WSJ vs. Rand Paul incident here.

If the last week has made anything clear about the Wall Street Journal editorial board, it’s that they sure do not like Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) and his libertarian-leaning views on civil liberties.

Last Monday, the paper ran an editorial column lashing Sen. Paul and other libertarian-ish legislators “who keep insisting that the U.S. homeland is not part of the terror battlefield” in the wake of the Boston bombings. The editorial board asserted that Paul, several GOP colleagues, and “anti-antiterror types on the left” were “making the U.S. more vulnerable” by defending the bombing suspects’ right to due process and to be tried as a citizen of the United States.

And then this Saturday, Journal editorial writer Dorothy Rabinowitz took to the paper’s web show to offer up what can only be described as a trashing of the Kentucky senator.

…to Find My Wooden Leg
Hawthorne

Posted under Media & Police State & Uncategorized

For those who found themselves on the dissident side, rather than seek it out, one could find various soothing ideas from over a hundred years ago (e.g. “we win in the end”) to find some out for positivism.

Failing that, a piece of prose: “the system will collapse under the contradictions of its own message.”

But that is not true either.  The totalitarian state is embraced and celebrated; where a contradiction was imagined, none existed.  One doesn’t actually trade liberty (read power) for security of course, one just cedes power and has little say.

The humiliation of it all encourages the reactionary support for symbols of power and strength.

__________

The events in Boston constitute a confirmation of what that area is.  Boston, as most major cities do, lives off subsidies funneled to the “higher education system”, Pharma & Hospitals, the MIC, and some tech, though now a shadow of its former self, as the former Wang and Digital employees enter the latter stages.

Tom Woods Goes After a Thought Cop
RedPhillips

Posted under Media & Political Correctness

Speaking of thought cops, Tom Woods goes after one here.

To be attacked by a Gore Vidal, or an H.L. Mencken, one of the great wordsmiths of American criticism, while surely unpleasant, must have been oddly exhilarating for the poor souls on the receiving end. I, on the other hand, have the more dubious and prosaic distinction of being a regular target of Ian Millhiser.

So you’ve never heard of Ian Millhiser. You’ve never seen him. But you only think you haven’t. You have.

Ever met someone who’s dying to let you and the rest of the world know he holds all the approved opinions? Then you have met Ian Millhiser.

In every hysterical reaction to dissident voices – i.e., voices that (gasp!) differ from both Barack Obama and Mitt Romney! – you have seen him.

You have seen Ian in every social climber who would die a thousand deaths before entertaining an unconventional thought.

In literature and television we have the stock character: the absent-minded professor, the stuck-up cheerleader, the backwoods yokel. Millhiser, too, is a stock character. He is the thought controller: impatient with diversity, predictable, establishment, banal, humorless.

Read more…

I’ve never heard of Ian Millhiser until now. When I first saw the title, I though he was going to be going after Jamie Kirchick. But as Woods says, Millhiser is a “stock character.” So Kirchick? Millhiser? What’s the difference?

The Interventionists Aren’t Happy About Ron Paul’s New Foreign Policy Think Tank
RedPhillips

Posted under Foreign affairs & Interventionism & Political Correctness & Rand Paul & Ron Paul

The memo has apparently gone out. Smear Ron Paul’s new think tank.

Jamie (now James?) Kirchick writes this for The Daily Beast. I’m Shocked! Just Shocked! That PC enforcer hack Jamie Kirchick has written another PC smear job about Ron Paul. Who would have guessed it?

Jamie Weinstein writes this at The Daily Caller. What’s up with Jamies being PC thought policers?

Walter Russell Meade says Ron Paul’s Institute will hurt Rand’s chance at becoming President. This is a not so veiled threat. “Shut up with the wrongthink Ron, or your kid gets it!”

The Week piles on, attempting to reinforce the Rand Paul link.

Tom Woods replies here and here.

Woods does what libertarians are wont to do and immediately appeals to libertarian first principles. Appealing to first principles is fine. I appeal to Constitutionalist first principles all the time. But when it comes to this thought policing nonsense, I think the thought policers need to be called out for being the pathetic little weeniefied thought slaves that they are.

Kirchick, Weinstein and Meade, grow a pair of intellectual balls, and quit being rightthink enforcers for the Conventional Wisdom. I do not believe that 9/11 was an inside job, but I don’t go running for the tall grass like some sort of intellectual fraidy cat at the suggestion. This desire to stamp out wrongthink is MUCH more dangerous than the wrongthink itself. Perhaps you should actually engage an argument rather than point and ridicule like some sort of middle school mean girl.

You have to wonder what is going on inside the head of people like Kirchick who seem to relish the role of righthink hit-man. Man up, develop some intellectual testosterone, and HAVE A FREE THOUGHT EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE!

If Rand Paul Wants to Make Himself Useful…
RedPhillips

Posted under Police State & Rand Paul

In the wake of Rand Paul’s recent caves to Political Correctness on immigration and racial pandering, he might want to do something to make himself useful again. A good start would be for him to denounce the hysterical police state tactics in Boston and the calls to declare the surviving suspect an enemy combatant. The War Street Journal has already called him out on this by name. He needs to step up to the plate and reply.

The Boston bombing also ought to chasten Senators Rand Paul, Mike Lee and other libertarians who keep insisting that the U.S. homeland is not part of the terror battlefield…

Boylston Street sure looked like a battlefield on Monday, and so did Watertown on Thursday night. The artificial distinction is Mr. Paul’s focus on geography. The vital distinction for public safety is between common criminals, who deserve due process protections, and enemy combatants at war with the U.S., wherever they are.

The fact that Watertown looked like a battlefield on Friday is the problem.

Mayor Bloomberg: “Our interpretation of the Constitution” has to change
RedPhillips

Posted under Police State & Political Philosophy

Typical “living breathing” Constitution liberal. This stretches the meaning of the word interpret beyond the breaking point. An interpretation is fixed. It’s static, and it is either accurate or inaccurate or some combination of both. What Bloomberg wants is not an updated interpretation. He wants permission to ignore the accurate interpretation.

Chuck Baldwin to Preach Howard Phillips’ Funeral
RedPhillips

Posted under Chuck Baldwin & Constitution Party

This is from Chuck Baldwin’s Facebook page.

My dear friend Howard Phillips passed away this past Saturday. He was one of my heroes and one of the most brilliant men I have ever known. He forgot more about government and history than most of us will ever learn. He was a graduate of Harvard. He was the head of two federal agencies in the Nixon White House. Most people don’t realize that he was the principal founder of what became known as the “Religious Right.” He also inspired Jerry Falwell to start the Moral Majority. He was the founder of the Constitution Party and chairman of the Conservative Caucus. America lost an ardent defender of liberty, and I lost a good friend. The family has asked me to preach Howard’s funeral. I don’t know the exact day yet. When I know, I will post it here on my Facebook wall. The funeral will take place at the McLean Bible Church in Tysons Corner, Virginia. I’m sure going to miss my friend.

The Lockdown in Boston WAS NOT VOLUNTARY
RedPhillips

Posted under Police State & Terrorism

The lockdown in Boston was supposedly voluntary. At least that’s what the apologists tell us. But this video tells a different story.

Here is the commentary that accompanies the video.

WATERTOWN, MA — On Friday, April 19, 2013, during a manhunt for a bombing suspect, police and federal agents spent the day storming people’s homes and performing illegal searches. While it was unclear initially if the home searches were voluntary, it is now crystal clear that they were absolutely NOT voluntary. Police were filmed ripping people from their homes at gunpoint, marching the residents out with their hands raised in submission, and then storming the homes to perform their illegal searches.

https://www.facebook.com/PoliceStateUSA

This was part of a larger operation that involved total lockdown of the suburban neighbor to Boston. Roads were barricaded and vehicle traffic was prohibited. A No-Fly Zone was declared over the town. People were “ordered” to stay indoors. Businesses were told not to open. National Guard soldiers helped with the lockdown, and were photographed checking IDs of pedestrians on the streets. All the while, police were performing these disgusting house-to-house searches.

Howard Phillips, R.I.P.

Posted under Conservatism & Constitution Party

Howard Phillips (no relation) has passed away. This is sad news. He was a good Christian, a good man and a good conservative. He will be missed. Phillips was a Nixon Administration official, but left the GOP due to its ever leftward drift. He founded the Constitution Party and was three times its candidate for President. May he Rest in Peace. The (real) conservative movement has lost a giant.

Addendum: I’ll add remembrances as I come across them.

Rep King: Boston Justifies More Surveillance of All Muslims
HarrisonBergeron2

Posted under Immigration & Terrorism & The South

I don’t like Representative Peter King of New York. But then, he doesn’t like me, or any other Southerner. King is a pro-Empire bully who thinks the good ol’ U.S. of A. is justified in doing whatever it wants. He once sponsored a bill that would empower the federal government to deny gun rights to anyone it merely suspected of having “terrorist connections.”

So King’s latest proposal should be scrutinized with suspicion. He now demands “increased surveillance” of all Muslims in the US. With the understandable public anger at the two Muslims behind the Boston bombing, King’s proposal might just gain traction.

All the more reason to resist it. Notice he doesn’t offer a direct, simple solution, such as repealing the disastrous 1965 Immigration Act. No, that’s unthinkable. Remember, with the federal government, solutions are never the answer. Instead, the answer to every problem is to increase the power and scope of government.

We all know what will happen next. Someone will say it’s not right that the government pick on one ethnic group, so the government should spy on EVERYONE. That’s fair.

And that’s how freedom is lost.

Are We OK With the Lockdown of Boston?
RedPhillips

Posted under Police State

Boston ordered people off the street and into their homes. Ordered stores not to open. Shut dow public transportation. All to catch one at large criminal. When I was watching all this unfold this morning, I wasn’t OK with it. Who says you can’t leave your house? Who says stores can’t open? Under what penalty? For violating what law? What if you really really need something? Maybe you’re a diabetic and need to buy your insulin. Maybe you have no food in your house. Or no toilet paper. Heck, what if your dog has to pee? This is massive overkill.

Thankfully, I’m not the only one who isn’t OK with this. Predictably, the folks at Lew Rockwell are up in arms. I’m glad it’s not just me.

Addendum: I have just been on Facebook. I am glad to report that I am clearly not the only one who is bothered by all this. Of course, my friends aren’t really representative, but at the least there is a remnant.

Neocons Heart Chechnya
Hawthorne

Posted under Globalism & Immigration & Interventionism & NeoCons & Uncategorized

American Committee for Peace in Chechnya was founded in 2004–it’s gone now– by the usual suspects, Right and Left–Frank Gaffney, Bill Kristol, Michael Ledeen–we have done this drill so often it gets boring, that same old cast of those who contrived a case for Republicans to support invading Iraq, as Saddam done 9/11 dontchaknow?

At the time, the Guardian’s John Laughland noted that the war on terror stopped in Chechnya for this crowd of the usual suspects.  The purpose, as always, was to use a force to destabilize Russia, just as they had used radical Islamists in Afghanistan against the then Soviet Russia many years prior.

It goes hand in hand with CIA or Pentagon intervention abroad, that the United States receives a boat load of refugees from said country, be it Hmong, Somalian, Iraqi, or…Chechnya.

There are certainly more angles to pursue, especially, on-going, bipartisan support (e.g. Obama/Clinton/Kerry, McCain, Graham, Rubio) from the usual suspects, to work with jihadists in Syria (including those from Chechnya as reported March 6).

Lone-wolf street theater, or some actor in the Black Arts will be the subject of speculation for the while, but  in the coming days of analysis, let it sink in that the members of the ACPC will sleep uninterrupted tonight.

Chechnya
RedPhillips

Posted under Foreign affairs & Russia & Sovereignty and Secession & Terrorism

I have long said that Russia should just let Chechnya go. They clearly don’t think of themselves as Russians. Is it really worth all the trouble to keep them in? They let Georgia go, for example, when the USSR collapsed. Why not let Chechnya go? I have read that it has to do with their relative statuses before the breakup. Georgia already enjoyed a higher level of autonomy than Chechnya does. So they’re keeping Chechnya on a technicality?

Russia aided secessionist South Ossetia when they thought doing so would tweak the Georgians.  But they won’t allow Chechnya their independence. Sounds hypocritical to me.

Of course, America’s official position on the issue should be neutrality. I’m just sayin’ for me personally… I believe if I were a Russian I would be thinking, “Good riddance! Don’t let the door hit you on the backside on the way out.”

A bad week for anti-white leftists
HarrisonBergeron2

Posted under Survival of the West & Terrorism & Western Civilization

First, the leftist fantasy that white supremacists murdered Texas District Attorney Mike McLelland and his wife was upended when it turned out the actual killers were a disgraced justice of the peace and his wife who killed the McLellands out of revenge.

Then, when the FBI released pictures of light-skinned Boston Marathon bombing suspects, the anti-white left whooped for joy. David Sirota at Slate openly hoped the culprits were white, and Tim Wise bloviated that the real lesson of the tragedy was, like everything else in the Tim Wise Alternate Universe, all about “white privilege.”

Over at Little Green Footballs, the FBI pictures were the object of much anti-white ridicule. One commenter noted the hat worn by one of the suspects and wondered, “Could that be a Dale Earnhardt hat?” Oh, if only a Christian Southerner did it!

Now comes word that the Boston terrorists are (were?) Chechnyan Muslims.

Showing once again that leftism isn’t so much an ideology as it is a pathology.
