They could have shortened it by saying that every seemingly good cause becomes a religion. And that’s what the whole green movement is beginning to look like to me. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyone who disputes their dogma is howled down, children are brainwashed and inconvenient truths (as we saw with the University of East Anglia) simply ignored.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nigel Lawson had a ‘denial’ book &lt;em&gt;‘Appeal To Reason’&lt;/em&gt; turned down by almost every publisher. One of the world’s leading experts on polar bears was banned from the Copenhagen shakedown jamboree because he wasn’t singing from the approved hymn sheet. It also seems to gel perfectly with the whole intolerant peecee multiculti secular religion in having its main target the evil white men in ‘the West’.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now where have we seen that kind of thing before?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I genuinely have – or had - an open mind. After all, if it’s opposed by GW Bush and his paymasters in the oil industry it must have something going for it. The planet is indeed warming up, but I don't know if it’s doing so dangerously, or whether man is responsible. My suspicions are strongly aroused though when contra evidence is forced from the public domain. And I seem to remember that we were being warned by scientists about thirty years ago that we were due to perish from a new &lt;u&gt;Ice Age&lt;/u&gt;. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;And as one of the commentators to this post asks, what about the hole in the ozone layer? That was the big issue twenty years ago but we hear nothing about it now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_t3_fMo06ljA/S0Eu6iM4_AI/AAAAAAAACeg/J3_d8YYyFCI/s1600-h/censored.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5422667009478949890" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 133px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 116px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_t3_fMo06ljA/S0Eu6iM4_AI/AAAAAAAACeg/J3_d8YYyFCI/s320/censored.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But of course there’s a second agenda – one that goes nicely with demonizing the evil West. And that is the shakedown from the ‘less well-developed nations’ - the usual parasites to you and me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Listen to Ethiopian Prime Minister Meles Zenari unveiling his proposal for a system in which rich countries would provide money to poor ones to help deal with the effects of climate change. ... &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;“Zenawi said he would accept $30 billion in the short term &lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;[isn't that generous of him?]&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;em&gt;rising to $100 billion by 2020. ... This was seen as a key concession by developing countries, &lt;u&gt;which had previously spurned that figure ... as too low.” &lt;/u&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/em&gt;You gotta give Ethiopia 100% for brass neck, but that's about all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now consider its recent population history&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1975 - 32.2 million.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;1990 – 51.7 million&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;2008 -&lt;strong&gt; 80,713,434&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That’s right folks, the population (remember that word) has more than doubled in thirty years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And here’s what this population growth leads to&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As the population increases, more and more land is deforested and over-farmed. Forest coverage has declined from 40 percent 75 years ago to only 3 percent today. People must travel farther and farther to find firewood, the principal fuel, which reduces time spent farming. Without firewood, many resort to burning animal dung, instead of using it to fertilize their depleted soil. Without trees to help hold it in place, the soil erodes from the steep highlands. As a result, many previously habitable areas have now been transformed into dry lands and deserts. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;This vicious cycle exacerbates the effects of Ethiopia’s droughts, leading to severe and ever more frequent crises. The 2003 famine affected more than 13 million people, and at least 6 million people now suffer from permanent food insecurity. But drought is not entirely to blame: Ethiopia “faces famine when we have a bumper harvest and when we have drought” since the amount of arable land per person is so low (1/2 hectare for 8 people).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And that's it. That's the solution. If the ‘poor nations’ stopped breeding like rabbits (said rabbits, of course, fed by the evil white men in the West) most environmental problems would be solved automatically. Think about it. Out of control population growth is what’s causing the forests to be cut down, wildlife wiped out, water resources to be used up and seas polluted. As well of course millions unable to feed themselves.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But the ‘P’ word never gets mentioned in all this hysteria, does it? Of course not, because to do so would divert the blame to where it lies. For the true believers who want to add another nail in the West’s coffin there’d be no joy, and for the green carpetbaggers there’s be no money.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you haven't already done so, I suggest you read my related post &lt;a href="http://irishsavant.blogspot.com/2008/04/cant-feed-em-dont-breed-em.html"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;here.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;Site feed&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2147334142609503958-356105261454284696?l=irishsavant.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://irishsavant.blogspot.com/feeds/356105261454284696/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2147334142609503958&amp;postID=356105261454284696' title='22 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2147334142609503958/posts/default/356105261454284696'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2147334142609503958/posts/default/356105261454284696'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://irishsavant.blogspot.com/2010/01/climate-change-shakedown-religion.html' title='The climate change shakedown religion'/><author><name>SAVANT</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10499147161250789440</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='02095348196894891164'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_t3_fMo06ljA/S0EvEibSqJI/AAAAAAAACeo/09HXIP_ZM_Y/s72-c/climateyp_cartoon_Health_Medicine_Advertising.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>22</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2147334142609503958.post-5752538893883703628</id><published>2010-01-01T20:29:00.004Z</published><updated>2010-01-01T20:35:18.426Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Race'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='religion'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Immigration'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Nordic'/><title type='text'>The killer's not to blame</title><content type='html'>Astonishing &lt;a href="http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/europe/article6972749.ece"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;news from the &lt;em&gt;London Times&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; in which we learn that Ibrahim Shkupolli, the Finnish mass murderer, wasn’t to blame for the attack!. According to peecee high-priest Roger Boyes &lt;em&gt;“behind the horrific crime of an apparently deranged individual there was the deep-rooted problem of social exclusion&lt;/em&gt;.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;God love him.

Boyes agrees that “&lt;em&gt;Shkupolli had been on the police register since at least 2003, when he was first convicted of illegal gun possession; the restraining order on visiting his ex-girlfriend&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt; showed that the courts considered him unpredictable and violent.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt; &lt;div&gt;Boyes then asks the questions “&lt;em&gt;Why was action not taken? Why was he not referred for psychiatric treatment?” &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My question would be, why wasn’t he sent back on the next plane to Kosovo? &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;He’d presumably be safe as Muslim Albanians now control that country. They gained control of that former Serbian province by way of massive illegal immigration and runaway breeding, transforming a Serb majority into a small minority &lt;em&gt;within a couple of generations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Any lesson there for Finland, I wonder?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Any lesson there for the rest of us, I wonder?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;Site feed&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2147334142609503958-5752538893883703628?l=irishsavant.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://irishsavant.blogspot.com/feeds/5752538893883703628/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2147334142609503958&amp;postID=5752538893883703628' title='17 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2147334142609503958/posts/default/5752538893883703628'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2147334142609503958/posts/default/5752538893883703628'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://irishsavant.blogspot.com/2010/01/killers-not-to-blame.html' title='The killer&apos;s not to blame'/><author><name>SAVANT</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10499147161250789440</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='02095348196894891164'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_t3_fMo06ljA/Sz5bmEIZ2NI/AAAAAAAACeY/LNRxzFENu5Q/s72-c/head-in-the-sand1.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>17</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2147334142609503958.post-6253705492734957861</id><published>2009-12-28T14:29:00.006Z</published><updated>2009-12-28T14:37:54.394Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='USA'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='israel'/><title type='text'>Whoopee - Joe's found another war!</title><content type='html'>&lt;em&gt;“Iraq was yesterday's war.

Like all the rest of the Vietnam-dodging chicken hawks he’s always full of fight. Providing he or his aren't doing the fighting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The minute I read of the Nigerian Islamic plane burning incident I knew that &lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_t3_fMo06ljA/SzjA-hVdv0I/AAAAAAAACeQ/622nkrcB82E/s1600-h/lieber.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5420294331873214274" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 122px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 118px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_t3_fMo06ljA/SzjA-hVdv0I/AAAAAAAACeQ/622nkrcB82E/s320/lieber.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;the US ‘defence’ industry would see an opportunity. Not an opportunity to do anything about the real dangers of course, but an opportunity to launch another war that will use lots and lots of weapons and provide lots and lots of business for the Blackwaters and Halliburtons of this world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just what the US needs.... heading towards bankruptcy, embroiled in two unwinnable wars and an earlier humiliating in Somalia – all enthusiastically supported by Joe. But then – to me at least - US needs aren't paramount in his mind. He, with his dual American/Israeli citizenship, holds the unique position of being in effect Likud’s ambassador to the US while heading the Senate Committee on &lt;u&gt;Homeland Security&lt;/u&gt;. &lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;..&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How daft does it get?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fact is, America is bleeding blood and treasure, as it always has done, to fight Israel’s enemies in the Middle East. Don’t forget that Lieberman is also an enthusiastic supporter of using American men and money to attack Iran as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lieberman is the best politician that money can buy. He’s paid his dues by emasculating the health bill (no bad thing in itself, pity about the motivation) at the behest of his (and his wife’s) paymasters in the health industry. And now he’s taking his marching orders from his political masters in Tel Aviv.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He’s laughing all the way to the bank.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He doesn’t worry. And he’s right. It’s probable that the American sheeple can be bamboozledyet again by the MSM into flying the flag and supporting this war, just like they were on all the others.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm convinced that in a hundred years time – if the Neocons’ wars haven’t finished us all of by then, that historians will look back and ask, in total bewilderment, how did the American people allow themselves to be so blatantly manipulated to enthusiastically participate in their own demise?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An afterthought: If the chickenhawk Neocons really want to fuck up Yemen, why don’t they deport all their Wall St. paymasters there? If they did a tenth of the damage they’ve done to the US they’d be better than a hundred conventional armies.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;Site feed&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2147334142609503958-6253705492734957861?l=irishsavant.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://irishsavant.blogspot.com/feeds/6253705492734957861/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2147334142609503958&amp;postID=6253705492734957861' title='46 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2147334142609503958/posts/default/6253705492734957861'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2147334142609503958/posts/default/6253705492734957861'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://irishsavant.blogspot.com/2009/12/whoopee-joes-found-another-war.html' title='Whoopee - Joe&apos;s found another war!'/><author><name>SAVANT</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10499147161250789440</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='02095348196894891164'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_t3_fMo06ljA/SzjA-hVdv0I/AAAAAAAACeQ/622nkrcB82E/s72-c/lieber.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>46</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2147334142609503958.post-7087741912692438889</id><published>2009-12-26T17:19:00.002Z</published><updated>2009-12-26T17:23:35.388Z</updated><title type='text'>The solution to Affirmative Action?</title><content type='html'>Those of us who’ve opposed affirmative action have focused on its inherent unfairness and impracticality in favouring less capable/qualified people. Essentially it means showing that favouring lower qualified ‘minorities’ over white males resulted in wasted resources, reduced performance and low levels of achievement wherever it was applied, as well as being self-evidently unfair.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Hartford fire-fighters was typical case. Would someone of lower intelligence with less inclination to work be better positioned to make crucial on-the-spot decisions such as what length hose or what power pump? Of course showing this to be both inequitable and inefficient was as easy as shooting fish in a barrel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But it made no difference, the madness persists.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But what if we turned the whole debate on its head? What if, instead of focusing on the under-representation of under-achieving ethnic groups, we shifted the debate to the &lt;em&gt;over-representation&lt;/em&gt; of certain ethnic groups?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now there’s no prize for guessing which ethnic group is massively over-represented just about everywhere, business, politics, law, medicine, academia, science – everywhere except sport. Now it’s clear to me that this over-representation is due to the same factors that cause black under-representation – intelligence and work ethic (throw in a bit of ethnic solidarity as well, of course).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The supreme irony here of course is that Jews are, and always have been, at the forefront of the AA army. Replace evil white males with under-represented minorities (read blacks). But what if Jews, think the &lt;em&gt;NY Times&lt;/em&gt;, were asked to lead by example?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What if the next time a Jewish commentator or academic insisted on more non-white representation the response were to be ‘fine. But will you step aside and while doing so agree to reduce Jews’ representation in the Senate to two Senators, have Jews represent only 2% of Harvard’s next intake, and occupy a similar ratio on the NYT editorial board?’&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Needless to say it wouldn’t work in the sense that there’d be no significant change in the ratios. But it might result in Jews shifting uncomfortably in their seats and realising that this thing could cut both ways. And the one thing you can never accuse Jews of is being unrealistic!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;Site feed&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2147334142609503958-7087741912692438889?l=irishsavant.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://irishsavant.blogspot.com/feeds/7087741912692438889/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2147334142609503958&amp;postID=7087741912692438889' title='16 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2147334142609503958/posts/default/7087741912692438889'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2147334142609503958/posts/default/7087741912692438889'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://irishsavant.blogspot.com/2009/12/solution-to-affirmative-action.html' title='The solution to Affirmative Action?'/><author><name>SAVANT</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10499147161250789440</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='02095348196894891164'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>16</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2147334142609503958.post-6954539549972208853</id><published>2009-12-24T22:06:00.003Z</published><updated>2009-12-25T12:00:01.064Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='humour'/><title type='text'>Christmas again</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_t3_fMo06ljA/SzPmH0XQGOI/AAAAAAAACeA/x4kWWmIg9GY/s1600-h/christmaqs.bmp"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5418927798646479074" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 256px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_t3_fMo06ljA/SzPmH0XQGOI/AAAAAAAACeA/x4kWWmIg9GY/s320/christmaqs.bmp" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;Site feed&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2147334142609503958-6954539549972208853?l=irishsavant.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://irishsavant.blogspot.com/feeds/6954539549972208853/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2147334142609503958&amp;postID=6954539549972208853' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2147334142609503958/posts/default/6954539549972208853'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2147334142609503958/posts/default/6954539549972208853'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://irishsavant.blogspot.com/2009/12/christams-again.html' title='Christmas again'/><author><name>SAVANT</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10499147161250789440</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='02095348196894891164'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_t3_fMo06ljA/SzPmH0XQGOI/AAAAAAAACeA/x4kWWmIg9GY/s72-c/christmaqs.bmp' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2147334142609503958.post-5041864609594727289</id><published>2009-12-23T22:31:00.007Z</published><updated>2009-12-25T11:57:17.217Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='USA'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Race'/><title type='text'>The new Surgeon General</title><content type='html'>You’re looking to appoint the Surgeon General – the top Government &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;medical&lt;/span&gt; post in the US.

The Mayo Clinic? Harvard Medical School?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Or an obscure backwoods practice lost somewhere in a Louisiana swamp?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you’re part of Obama’s ‘colour-blind’ Administration, you’d go for the last option. Why? Because it’s one of the few places you’ll find a black physician. And being &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;black&lt;/span&gt; seems to be the one and only qualification that Dr. Regina Benjamin – a 20 stone mountain of fat - seems to have.&lt;br /&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;Admittedly she ‘graduated’ from one of the country’s handful of black medical schools. These ‘graduates’ are so poorly qualified that almost all end up in administrative roles on the government payroll. In those instances where they are let loose on the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;general&lt;/span&gt; public the results can be literally life-threatening, as in the case of the Martin Luther King Hospital in Los Angeles which had to be closed down to protect the public.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With such a background you’d hardly expect her to announce some stunning innovative thinking in her maiden speech. And she &lt;a href="http://www.comcast.net/articles/news-health/20091203/US.MED.Surgeon.General/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;didn&lt;/span&gt;’t disappoint&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;“In what was one of her first speeches to a large crowd since she was sworn in Nov. 3, Dr. Regina Benjamin noted that the proportion of U.S. physicians who are minorities is only 6 percent—the same proportion as a century ago. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;In a 27-minute speech, Benjamin told health leaders in the audience to encourage young minorities to pursue careers in medicine or other ambitions.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That's right folks, she spent nearly half an hour whingeing that ‘minorities’ (read blacks – there are &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;huge&lt;/span&gt; numbers of Asian doctors in the US) are under-represented. ‘It be racism’, I presume was her message.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Blacks have a big problem in graduating from proper medical schools because, with their lower IQ levels they can't handle the academic workload. It’s as simple as that. Wherever you see black &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"&gt;PhDs&lt;/span&gt; you’ll note that they’re invariably in the soft subjects like &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7"&gt;ebonics&lt;/span&gt;, black history, languages, racism reparation studies or other crap like that. And that's so because faculty in those fields, being culturally sensitive, can award the highest degrees, secure in the knowledge that it &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8"&gt;doesn&lt;/span&gt;’t matter and that nobody really gives a shit anyway.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, in science, engineering and medicine there’s usually only one right answer. And that's where blacks come unstuck. &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9"&gt;According&lt;/span&gt; to two of my friends who are doctors in the US, reputable medical schools there did try to push through unqualified blacks a few decades ago – at the expense of whites, of course. However, they failed their internships in &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10"&gt;droves&lt;/span&gt;, which then (happily) reflected back on the medical school faculty.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Presumably then the new &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11"&gt;SG&lt;/span&gt; will be pleased with another medical initiative from the colour-blind Obama Administration. Thanks to &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12"&gt;Rastus&lt;/span&gt; for &lt;a href="http://article.nationalreview.com/?q=NmM2YTFmOGQ1MzVhODNjNGRiM2JlYzc1YmY1NjA0M2Y=#more"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;this link&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/a&gt;to the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;National Review&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;“It directs the secretary of health and human services to award federal grants worth billions of dollars to educational institutions that train medical-service providers. However, “priority” for federal dollars is to be given only to those institutions offering “preferential” admissions to underrepresented minorities”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The measure will force medical institutions to hire based on race and sex, not qualifications, and to lower their admission standards, which will lead to even more “low-quality” doctors. Medical students admitted based on lower qualifications generally perform more poorly on licensing exams.Race-based admissions end up endangering patients — such as those treated by Patrick &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13"&gt;Chavis&lt;/span&gt;, one of whom bled to death due to &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14"&gt;Chavis&lt;/span&gt;’s medical malpractice. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15"&gt;Chavis&lt;/span&gt; was the black applicant admitted to the University of California at Davis Medical School even though he had much weaker academic qualifications than Allan &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_16"&gt;Bakke&lt;/span&gt;, a white applicant who was rejected from the school and subsequently was the plaintiff in a famous Supreme Court case. &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_17"&gt;Chavis&lt;/span&gt; eventually lost his medical license because of his gross negligence, incompetence, and “inability to perform some of the most basic duties required of a physician.” &lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By the way, in 1996 (before Chavis was found out), Senator Edward M. Kennedy called him a "&lt;em&gt;perfect example&lt;/em&gt;" of how affirmative action worked.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Boy, Ted got a lot of things wrong, but he sure struck paydirt with that!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As the song goes, ‘&lt;em&gt;when will they ever learn’&lt;/em&gt;.

For centuries we’d been hamstrung by supposedly God-inspired moral absolutism which allowed self-appointed moral guardians rule our lives with rods of iron. Such absolutism was moderated in more recent times by concepts such as situational ethics (right or wrong is based on the particular situation) and cognitive relativism (truth itself has no objective standard).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cultural relativism is the view that no culture is superior to any other culture when comparing systems of morality, law, politics, etc. It's the philosophical notion that all cultural beliefs are equally valid and that truth itself is relative, depending on the cultural environment. Those who hold to cultural relativism hold that all religious, ethical, aesthetic, and political beliefs are completely relative to the individual within a cultural identity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But just like other initially worthwhile elements of multi-culti peecee doctrine, the (small) baby of cultural relativism has not so much been thrown out with the bathwater but rammed down the plughole with great force. We’re now at the stage where the most noxious primitive customs are accorded moral and cultural equivalence with those of the advanced western democracies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here I have in mind things like honour killings, stoning for adultery, killing children for their organs for use in traditional medicine, all of which we’re meant to sympathetically nod in understanding - ‘&lt;em&gt;it’s their culture’&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now the video here shows scenes which could – or at least should – occasion even the most deluded sociology professor to get a grip.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here’s what the &lt;a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/1555339/Girl-survived-tribes-custom-of-live-baby-burial.html"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Telegraph&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; has to say about the practice in general:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;"Babies born into some Indian tribes in the Amazon are being buried alive, a practice that is being covered up by the Brazilian authorities out of respect for tribal culture [&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;there we go again!]&lt;/span&gt; &lt;em&gt;The tradition is based on beliefs that babies with any sort of physical defect have no souls and that others, such as twins or triplets, are also "cursed". Babies who are girls, who have some disability or who have unmarried mothers are all in danger of an early death in a shallow grave in the rainforest."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you can stomach it, take a look, and thank Providence if you live in an advanced, tolerant and civilised society. And maybe as a bonus it’ll build your determination to hold on to what we have and fight back against the invasion of our lands by the forces of darkness&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="320" height="266" class="BLOG_video_class" id="BLOG_video-ab4b17acb55ef63d" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.blogger.com/img/videoplayer.swf?videoUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fvp.video.google.com%2Fvideodownload%3Fversion%3D0%26secureurl%3DqAAAAP0YN7YpWvFNWPjMMOzGjlVahHBEBvPsF-tgzhFApHRiDgAUMG8rIxJwamKP-1hMbfO5pALipQ1nHErfQWax97spbRn1MHr4RMfl4ZnBwkNB_eGrjSBwv1TgTSvRkDMntVev1A5qsSWsihoua5C99sTUg60ZZYmQKJjN09ggjV9tJ8-80c5iMONH2LDe7IYREdr1QSjRlNmhhaGXj_7ucIvp2FRklSKwEnVf1CjteXuK%26sigh%3DZTn9vXurJ9yN_AvJsicNbCzN2Xo%26begin%3D0%26len%3D86400000%26docid%3D0&amp;amp;nogvlm=1&amp;amp;thumbnailUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fvideo.google.com%2FThumbnailServer2%3Fapp%3Dblogger%26contentid%3Dab4b17acb55ef63d%26offsetms%3D5000%26itag%3Dw320%26sigh%3D_mWbyLXiWO1V6BF_ksZI-zNzy2w&amp;amp;messagesUrl=video.google.com%2FFlashUiStrings.xlb%3Fframe%3Dflashstrings%26hl%3Den"&gt;&lt;param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF"&gt;&lt;embed width="320" height="266" src="http://www.blogger.com/img/videoplayer.swf?videoUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fvp.video.google.com%2Fvideodownload%3Fversion%3D0%26secureurl%3DqAAAAP0YN7YpWvFNWPjMMOzGjlVahHBEBvPsF-tgzhFApHRiDgAUMG8rIxJwamKP-1hMbfO5pALipQ1nHErfQWax97spbRn1MHr4RMfl4ZnBwkNB_eGrjSBwv1TgTSvRkDMntVev1A5qsSWsihoua5C99sTUg60ZZYmQKJjN09ggjV9tJ8-80c5iMONH2LDe7IYREdr1QSjRlNmhhaGXj_7ucIvp2FRklSKwEnVf1CjteXuK%26sigh%3DZTn9vXurJ9yN_AvJsicNbCzN2Xo%26begin%3D0%26len%3D86400000%26docid%3D0&amp;amp;nogvlm=1&amp;amp;thumbnailUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fvideo.google.com%2FThumbnailServer2%3Fapp%3Dblogger%26contentid%3Dab4b17acb55ef63d%26offsetms%3D5000%26itag%3Dw320%26sigh%3D_mWbyLXiWO1V6BF_ksZI-zNzy2w&amp;amp;messagesUrl=video.google.com%2FFlashUiStrings.xlb%3Fframe%3Dflashstrings%26hl%3Den" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;Site feed&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2147334142609503958-2847447482715495258?l=irishsavant.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://irishsavant.blogspot.com/feeds/2847447482715495258/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2147334142609503958&amp;postID=2847447482715495258' title='24 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2147334142609503958/posts/default/2847447482715495258'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2147334142609503958/posts/default/2847447482715495258'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://irishsavant.blogspot.com/2009/12/diversity-is-strength-its-also-burying.html' title='Diversity is strength: It&apos;s also burying sick children alive'/><author><name>SAVANT</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10499147161250789440</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='02095348196894891164'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>24</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2147334142609503958.post-2832463746466526514</id><published>2009-12-16T20:18:00.003Z</published><updated>2009-12-19T10:16:29.484Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='humour'/><title type='text'>Having Mum for dinner</title><content type='html'>Apropos the previous post........&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5415931518967916834" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 243px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_t3_fMo06ljA/SylBBYvsqSI/AAAAAAAACdo/osJxOVONjDU/s320/dinner.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Here's a comment on this post from W.

&lt;/em&gt;we learn the following:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"&lt;em&gt;A parcel containing monkey meat was discovered at a postal sorting office in Drogheda yesterday, the Department of Agriculture said. The package was understood to have contained the bodies of two monkeys and a number of monkey legs which were to be eaten. Customs officials are investigating and it is believed the package may have been sent from Nigeria. A department spokeswoman said the "bush meat" had been seized as it had entered the country illegally. "&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Bless me! Nigerians behaving illegally! What ever next?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My scientific friends tell me that such bush meat is potentially lethal, as it can introduce bacteria and viruses (it's the source of the ebola virus and possible of AIDS) to which native Irish would have no immunity. And if all the Irish died, who’d pay the Nigerians’ social welfare? I think they should remember that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But such imports can be found wherever we celebrate diversity.

"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As you can see from the photo, Mamie is a one-woman production line for future muggers and rapists. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ffffff;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Which begs the question, if she had 11 previous offences, how much time did she serve, given that she’s cranked out so many cultural enrichers in the meantime? Probably got 11 warnings.

But otherwise what's said here is correct. Whereas individual blacks can be fine, as an ethnic group they are always and everywhere vastly more violent and welfare-dependent than other races. Their criminality is orders of magnitude greater than whites, while their families have high levels of &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12"&gt;disfunctionality&lt;/span&gt;. In short, wherever and whenever they move in, standards begin to decline, and that decline then increases geometrically.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;We should remember that as we allow vast numbers of them congregate in Europe&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;Site feed&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2147334142609503958-53190012727467974?l=irishsavant.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://irishsavant.blogspot.com/feeds/53190012727467974/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2147334142609503958&amp;postID=53190012727467974' title='13 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2147334142609503958/posts/default/53190012727467974'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2147334142609503958/posts/default/53190012727467974'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://irishsavant.blogspot.com/2009/12/if-there-were-only-whites-in-south.html' title='If there were only whites in South Africa.....'/><author><name>SAVANT</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10499147161250789440</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='02095348196894891164'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>13</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2147334142609503958.post-7257556166457897145</id><published>2009-12-03T11:15:00.004Z</published><updated>2009-12-03T11:21:51.815Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='humour'/><title type='text'>The Tiger Woods Family Christmas Portrait</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_t3_fMo06ljA/SxeeISctTvI/AAAAAAAACcg/cd_DyUC6dZw/s1600-h/tiger8.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5410967342537330418" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 288px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_t3_fMo06ljA/SxeeISctTvI/AAAAAAAACcg/cd_DyUC6dZw/s320/tiger8.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;Site feed&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2147334142609503958-7257556166457897145?l=irishsavant.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://irishsavant.blogspot.com/feeds/7257556166457897145/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2147334142609503958&amp;postID=7257556166457897145' title='10 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2147334142609503958/posts/default/7257556166457897145'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2147334142609503958/posts/default/7257556166457897145'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://irishsavant.blogspot.com/2009/12/tiger-woods-family-photo.html' title='The Tiger Woods Family Christmas Portrait'/><author><name>SAVANT</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10499147161250789440</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='02095348196894891164'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_t3_fMo06ljA/SxeeISctTvI/AAAAAAAACcg/cd_DyUC6dZw/s72-c/tiger8.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>10</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2147334142609503958.post-4488774080360121852</id><published>2009-12-01T23:34:00.011Z</published><updated>2009-12-02T16:59:53.086Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Sweden'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Immigration'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Nordic'/><title type='text'>Open discussion in Sweden</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.thelocal.se/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;The Local&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/a&gt;describes itself as ‘Sweden’s News In English’. Which it is. And just like the rest of the media in that country it’s relentlessly Orwellian in its reporting, as dictated by the Orwellian ‘independent journalists’ union – see &lt;a href="http://irishsavant.blogspot.com/2008/03/sweden-denmark-colour-of-crime-2.html"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;this post&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. If you read it (I don't recommend this!) you’ll see an endless paean to the joys of diversity, and never ever, &lt;strong&gt;ever&lt;/strong&gt; anything that would suggest immigrants aren't all uncanonised saints.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But Sweden's proud position at the top of Europe’s Rape League Table,&lt;em&gt; &lt;/em&gt;and the distinctly un-Swedish habits of Mu&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_t3_fMo06ljA/SxWoxs4aLBI/AAAAAAAACcY/n4RCSZJqPXY/s1600/ministrytruth.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5410416099170331666" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 137px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 64px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_t3_fMo06ljA/SxWoxs4aLBI/AAAAAAAACcY/n4RCSZJqPXY/s320/ministrytruth.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;slim refugees do pose some challenges for &lt;em&gt;The Local’s&lt;/em&gt; ‘journalists’. For example, what’s an ‘independent journalist’ to do when a Muslim takes a fourth simultaneous wife, this time one that's ten years old, and then cuts his daughter’s throat for wearing a revealing burka?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, it goes something like this: &lt;em&gt;“Swedish man charged with attack on daughter’&lt;/em&gt;. To the uninitiated, this could be someone named Sven Carlson giving his daughter a black eye. And of course that’s what you're &lt;em&gt;meant&lt;/em&gt; to believe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But Swedes are starting to act like their counterparts under another totalitarian system, Communism. (Check my post &lt;a href="http://irishsavant.blogspot.com/2008/04/pc-and-communism-two-sides-of-same-coin.html"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;here&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;). If a Russian read in Pravda &lt;em&gt;‘Comrade Brezhnev is suffering from a mild cold’&lt;/em&gt; they’d have instantly realised that he was at death’s door. So Swedes now are beginning to realise immediately that the ‘Swedish man’ is nothing of the sort.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, I occasionally post a comment to &lt;em&gt;The Local&lt;/em&gt;. Nothing ‘offensive’ (i.e. nothing even remotely like the ‘n’ word, no bad language, just skewering the ludicrous claptrap that passes for journalism on that rag). What happens? After fewer than ten such comments I've been silenced!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If I try to comment George Orwell comes back with “&lt;em&gt;Posting privileges currently suspended&lt;/em&gt;”. It’s not currently, it’s permanently.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes folks, that's what passes for the marketplace of ideas in the Swedish media.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, following on the Swiss minarets initiative, there is hope. Even in Sweden. It seems a Muslim cultural enricher decided that due to Islamic modesty she didn’t want to be bothered with Swedish hygiene regulations. She sued the agency for refusing her a job. Now you’d imagine that the &lt;em&gt;dhimmi &lt;/em&gt;courts in that country would fall over themselves to apologise for the ‘offense’ and to order the dental agency to desist.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hold on to something solid now, because…………..the court threw out her case. And not only that, they awarded costs against her!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I wonder did the judge read my comments in &lt;em&gt;The Local&lt;/em&gt;?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;Site feed&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2147334142609503958-4488774080360121852?l=irishsavant.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://irishsavant.blogspot.com/feeds/4488774080360121852/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2147334142609503958&amp;postID=4488774080360121852' title='24 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2147334142609503958/posts/default/4488774080360121852'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2147334142609503958/posts/default/4488774080360121852'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://irishsavant.blogspot.com/2009/12/open-discussion-in-sweden.html' title='Open discussion in Sweden'/><author><name>SAVANT</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10499147161250789440</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='02095348196894891164'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_t3_fMo06ljA/SxWoxs4aLBI/AAAAAAAACcY/n4RCSZJqPXY/s72-c/ministrytruth.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>24</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2147334142609503958.post-9017204201157605629</id><published>2009-11-30T21:22:00.005Z</published><updated>2009-12-01T22:27:39.571Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Islam'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='religion'/><title type='text'>Go Switzerland!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_t3_fMo06ljA/SxQ4Bl9SalI/AAAAAAAACcQ/55GIexOy9Y0/s1600/minaretban2.gif"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5410010652399004242" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 189px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 267px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_t3_fMo06ljA/SxQ4Bl9SalI/AAAAAAAACcQ/55GIexOy9Y0/s320/minaretban2.gif" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Bravo Switzerland! By an overwhelming majority they have shown what they think of the Islamisation of their country. Inevitably the howls from the peecee multi-culti fever swamps have been loud and painful.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All the usual suspects weighed in. The UN, the EU, Amnesty International, the Red Cross, even the Catholic Church, doing anything to divert attention from its history of raping children. To listen to them you’d think the Swiss had reopened Auschwitz, and were busy rounding up the country’s Muslim population.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What has gone totally unremarked is the fundamental issue of reciprocity: Christians can't even &lt;em&gt;repair&lt;/em&gt; a church in most Islamic countries. As I showed in &lt;a href="http://irishsavant.blogspot.com/2008/08/first-cathedral-in-saudi-arabia.html"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;this post&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, even surreptitiously practicing your Christian faith in Saudi Arabia can lead to arrest and imprisonment. Why don't those organisations squeal about that?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh, I forgot. The Saudis aren’t white Christians.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What's nothing short of hilarious is the complaint about the vote not being ‘democratic’. I kid you not – this has been said. It’s so democratic that the EU mandarins must be having sleepless nights. My God, what would happen if this democracy broke out everywhere? Certainly, if Switzerland had been in the EU they’d have been brought swiftly to heel&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Moving on, does this signal a significant change or just a last futile gasp? Let’s listen to Farhad Afshar, who heads the Coordination of Islamic Organisations in Switzerland. He bleats &lt;em&gt;“the most painful for us is not the minaret ban, but the symbol sent by this vote. Muslims do not feel accepted as a religious community”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To which I'd respond, ‘I certainly hope so’&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That malevolent, duplicitous, terror-supporting hypocrite Tariq Ramadan has been given a prominent platform in the Guardian (where else?) to declaim:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"&lt;em&gt;What is happening in Sw&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_t3_fMo06ljA/SxQ3ybXpd0I/AAAAAAAACcA/N-ItDCCfx5E/s1600/islamxx.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5410010391858739010" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 218px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 91px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_t3_fMo06ljA/SxQ3ybXpd0I/AAAAAAAACcA/N-ItDCCfx5E/s320/islamxx.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;itzerland, the land of my birth?”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It might be the land of your birth you prick, but it’s not your country. To paraphrase Lord Wellington, being born in a stable doesn’t make you a horse. In this case it did make Ramadan a horse – a Trojan one. Like most other Muslims in the West, he’s used our liberal secular laws to secure religious freedom and support, the very things denied to Christians and Jews in Muslim countries.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He goes on “&lt;em&gt;the Swiss majority are sending a clear message to their Muslim fellow citizens: we do not trust you and the best Muslim for us is the Muslim we cannot see.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If so, I rejoice. And it should be the start of a campaign along the following lines:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ban the burka, niqab, the veil in work places and also halal slaughter. Make building a mosque as difficult as it is to build a church in Saudi Arabia. Make Islam and the ‘Prophet’ a subject of humour as happens with other religions and their icons.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If we initiated and maintained such a campaign it would make Europe a ‘cold place’ for Muslims. And that in turn would make them less likely to come here, or if they still do, make them realise that they have to live by civilised Western standards.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fingers crossed. And meanwhile, where can I load up on Swiss chocolates? &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;Site feed&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2147334142609503958-9017204201157605629?l=irishsavant.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://irishsavant.blogspot.com/feeds/9017204201157605629/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2147334142609503958&amp;postID=9017204201157605629' title='24 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2147334142609503958/posts/default/9017204201157605629'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2147334142609503958/posts/default/9017204201157605629'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://irishsavant.blogspot.com/2009/11/go-switzerland.html' title='Go Switzerland!'/><author><name>SAVANT</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10499147161250789440</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='02095348196894891164'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_t3_fMo06ljA/SxQ4Bl9SalI/AAAAAAAACcQ/55GIexOy9Y0/s72-c/minaretban2.gif' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>24</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2147334142609503958.post-764273856117687850</id><published>2009-11-29T09:51:00.005Z</published><updated>2009-11-29T10:03:53.149Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Ireland'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='religion'/><title type='text'>La Cosa Nostra</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_t3_fMo06ljA/SxJGBxi-A1I/AAAAAAAACb4/SLVZHLCeazQ/s1600/holy+see.gif"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5409463098719208274" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 212px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 155px" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_t3_fMo06ljA/SxJGBxi-A1I/AAAAAAAACb4/SLVZHLCeazQ/s320/holy+see.gif" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;As every schoolboy knows, &lt;em&gt;la Cosa Nostra&lt;/em&gt; means ‘&lt;em&gt;our thing'&lt;/em&gt; in Italian and refers to the Mafia’s name for itself. It’s also the name Frank Keating, a former Oklahoma Governor, applied to the Catholic Church, based on his experiences of heading a so-called investigation into child abuse in the US.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;"To act like La Cosa Nostra and hide and suppress, I think, is very unhealthy,"&lt;/em&gt; he declaimed, when he realized that he was heading a cover-up, not an investigation. And for this he got turfed out by the Church authorities.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There’s no point in my going over this scandal, which is a world-wide phenomenon. But I would like you to consider just one aspect of the Irish Church’s response which underlines what I already knew anyway: that there is simply no morality within that organization. It’s just like a multinational corporation, except that it pays no tax at all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just consider the concept of ‘mental reservation’. According to Cardinal Desmond Connell, ‘&lt;em&gt;one must never lie, but on the other hand you may be put in a position where you have to answer and there may be circumstances where you c&lt;/em&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_t3_fMo06ljA/SxJFyEyoDHI/AAAAAAAACbw/GttA6CBzStg/s1600/priests+horny.jpg"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5409462829007244402" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 181px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_t3_fMo06ljA/SxJFyEyoDHI/AAAAAAAACbw/GttA6CBzStg/s320/priests+horny.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;em&gt;an use an ambiguous expression, realizing that the person whom you are talking to will accept an untrue version of whatever it may be’&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thus he was able to say that &lt;em&gt;‘I never paid’&lt;/em&gt; any victim of clerical abuse. True, but he gave the money to the abuser, who then paid the victim. Totally convincing, isn't it? &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Take another example. When Bishop Comiskey was outed by journalist Veronica Guerin as receiving treatment for alcoholism at a particulate clinic in Florida, it emerged that Comiskey had never even been to that clinic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cue outraged reaction from Church spokesmen, who complained bitterly, &lt;em&gt;inter alia&lt;/em&gt;, of the ‘&lt;em&gt;hurt’&lt;/em&gt; Comiskey had suffered, the denigration of his character and so on. However, it subsequently emerged that in fact he&lt;em&gt; had&lt;/em&gt; been receiving alcoholism treatment at that time, but at a different clinic just a few miles away.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_t3_fMo06ljA/SxJEYM7UPkI/AAAAAAAACbo/cW6uepM4BNo/s1600/religionmoney.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5409461285002952258" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 118px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 89px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_t3_fMo06ljA/SxJEYM7UPkI/AAAAAAAACbo/cW6uepM4BNo/s320/religionmoney.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What this illustrates to me is the difference between morality and religiosity ( is there such a word?).

Of course not. But bear with me, I'm going somewhere with this. While sick in bed for a few days in Sweden recently I spent some time watching the only English-language film channel available in my apartment. I watched five, and I’ll describe four of them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First, ‘&lt;em&gt;A dry white season&lt;/em&gt;’. This was about the struggle for ‘freedom’ in South Africa and was the usual cut-and-paste story line and cutout characters. All whites (apart from one) being vile racists, all blacks noble, honourable and decent. Even the one who shoots dead a policeman outside his home. To give this the right perspective, we were treated to a montage of scenes from ‘the legacy of apartheid’ before he was gunned down.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then there was ‘&lt;em&gt;Rosewood’&lt;/em&gt;. This again featured exclusively vile Southern whites and exclusively noble, honest, hard-working put-upon blacks. Without exception.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ok, move on to what looked to be a very promising concept. ‘&lt;em&gt;Diplomatic Immunity’&lt;/em&gt; had as its theme the rape and murder of a young American girl by a foreigner, who escaped back to his homeland luxurious lifestyle because he was covered by the eponymous diplomatic immunity. Cue for the outraged father of the victim to take things into his own hands.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But the producers were faced with a problem. The rapist/murderer had of necessity to be white, but problem was, those pesky white countries have this annoying habit of putting such people on trial back home, diplomatic immunity or no, or in surrendering immunity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What’s a peecee multiculti director to do? Eureka! Paraguay! Kill about three birds with the one stone. Not just white, but (roll on the bass drum) Germans! Nazis. They came to Paraguay and siezed power. When our hero gets there he wipes out every single, blonde, cold-eyed killer. And goes back to report, informally to his kind, understanding Commanding Officer – who is, you’ve guessed it, black.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was getting fed up at this stage when I came to my last one. Girl being raped by evil whites. Only to be rescued by - wait for it – a black gang! Which is about as realistic as Darth Vader togging out in midfield for Scunthorpe United. Seeking something more realistic I turned to &lt;em&gt;‘Lord of the rings&lt;/em&gt;’…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My point, in case you’re slow on the uptake, is that blacks are uniformly portrayed in the MSM and ‘Hollywood’ in a way that’s totally at variance with reality. But we know that, sez you, you’ve repeatedly posted about it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes, and that brings me to China. As I posted in &lt;a href="http://irishsavant.blogspot.com/2008/08/chinese-taking-over-africa-now-watch.html"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;‘China taking over Africa, now watch the fun’&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/a&gt;the Chinese are amongst the worst racists in the world. They’ll tell you openly and without embarrassment that the whiter the skin the better. And they’re going to be seeing a lot more of their non-white brethren in the future. And, if what’s happening in China itself is anything to go by, the future will fulfil the old Chinese curse ‘&lt;em&gt;may you live in interesting times’&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here are some excerpts from my ‘research’&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;“People in China think most black people play basketball and are violent. Many people in China also assume that if you are black, you have very little money’&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;‘One city resident told the Shanghai Star that "crime is so low in Shanghai because there are no black people."’&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;“If a Chinese woman dates a white man it is social climbing. If she is with a black man, it is 'stepping down'.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Although individual black athletes and entertainers are respected and idolized, a “generic” black person is often perceived by Chinese, even well-educated ones, to be dangerous or ignorant.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“When I asked my Chinese teacher and several friends what they think of black people, almost all of them say the same thing, "They're scary, they smell, they're loud"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;“One Chinese journalist told me that she believes black men have an abnormally high sex drive. Her friends believe that one can get AIDS from sleeping with black men.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;“A middle aged Chinese driver "Black people are poor and the men are usually really big and intimidating looking. Sometimes they don't pay."’&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;“The impression mostly gained from west media is that many blacks are violent, less-educated and lazy. Thanks to a steady diet of Hollywood movies.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Unfavourable portrayals of dark-skinned characters in movies is also widely cited as unhelpful.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;Now I draw your attention in particular to the last two comments, neither of which came from Chinese, rather from Western observers. Isn’t it incredible that people can still say things like that? Now if they said that the portrayals of dark-skinned characters in movies is totally at variance with reality we could all agree. Although for contradictory reasons obviously.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The interesting thing though is that, despite the MSM and Hollywood, they’ve managed to get an excellent steer on the realities, haven't they?.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;Site feed&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2147334142609503958-8038489886374744459?l=irishsavant.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://irishsavant.blogspot.com/feeds/8038489886374744459/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2147334142609503958&amp;postID=8038489886374744459' title='15 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2147334142609503958/posts/default/8038489886374744459'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2147334142609503958/posts/default/8038489886374744459'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://irishsavant.blogspot.com/2009/11/china-and-blacks-in-msm.html' title='China and blacks in the MSM'/><author><name>SAVANT</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10499147161250789440</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='02095348196894891164'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>15</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2147334142609503958.post-4602847884229343354</id><published>2009-11-23T00:48:00.003Z</published><updated>2009-11-23T01:02:41.860Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Ireland'/><title type='text'>A terrible admission</title><content type='html'>I must admit it, and, for a mature male, it is a terrible admission. Yes, I actually cried last Wednesday night when the 'Hand Of Gaul' goal went in, and Ireland went out. This then was replaced by a terrible and righteous anger.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But time heals, and the healing was enhanced by the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;cataract&lt;/span&gt; of bullshit that followed. &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;Theirry&lt;/span&gt; Henri was castigated as a vile cheat, the Swedish officials were bribed by &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;Sepp&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3"&gt;Blatter&lt;/span&gt; to get the big country through, and the French FA were miserable frogs for not immediately offering us a replay.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What bollocks. In fact I think the French, team and public, came out of it very well. The team were obviously affected by the manner of their qualification, Henri admitted his offence, while he and the rest of the team asked for the game to be replayed. So did nearly 90% of the French general public.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The facts are, Henri did what any footballer would have done, and indeed what Robbie Keane had done a few times previously in that very game! Fact is, the officials bottled it. Had they wanted to usher France through they had earlier had a number of opportunities to award penalties. Given that they had already made these tough calls against France, to actually disallow a late goal - the referee was unsighted - would have demanded exemplary, unique, courage.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now I ask &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4"&gt;myself&lt;/span&gt;, what would have happened if it had been the other way around? We all know don't we? Token regrets for public &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5"&gt;consumption&lt;/span&gt;, but most of us would have &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6"&gt;snickered&lt;/span&gt; behind our backs and as packed our bullet proof vests for South Africa.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nobody does &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7"&gt;wounded&lt;/span&gt; outrage like the Irish&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;Site feed&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2147334142609503958-4602847884229343354?l=irishsavant.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://irishsavant.blogspot.com/feeds/4602847884229343354/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=2147334142609503958&amp;postID=4602847884229343354' title='13 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2147334142609503958/posts/default/4602847884229343354'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2147334142609503958/posts/default/4602847884229343354'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://irishsavant.blogspot.com/2009/11/terrible-admission.html' title='A terrible admission'/><author><name>SAVANT</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10499147161250789440</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='02095348196894891164'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>13</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2147334142609503958.post-4707074804417913979</id><published>2009-11-20T20:02:00.002Z</published><updated>2009-11-20T20:05:58.041Z</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='israel'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='religion'/><title type='text'>Offensive: Now the Jews are at it</title><content type='html'>Now the Jews are at it. It was bad enough with the Religion of Peace, blacks, women, invalids, all eagerly seeking out opportunities to be offended. I had thought Jews to be beyond that, but a number of developments suggest otherwise.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First up was the Irish tenor Ronan Tynan who said something about  some Jewish ladies looking at his apartment were "&lt;em&gt;scary".&lt;/em&gt;  Most of them &lt;em&gt;are&lt;/em&gt; - that's why they’re  a standing joke among Jews. You know the old joke about the head waiter going over to a table of female Jewish diners and asking ‘&lt;em&gt;is anything all right&lt;/em&gt;?’ This was, or should have been, a non-event. But in a manner disturbingly redolent of the Religion of Peace, Jewish organizations in the US threw their collective bottles out of the pram, kicked and screamed and arranged for Tynan’s concert to be cancelled.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A bemused Tynan was forced to make numerous groveling apologies, and they also shook him down for a substantial  ‘donation’ to a Jewish charity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then there’s Jimmy Carr who joked about the last entry in Ann Frank’s diary. &lt;em&gt;“Today’s my birthday – daddy bought me a set of drums’.&lt;/em&gt; It’s a fucking&lt;em&gt; joke&lt;/em&gt;, but again the offence industry went into overdrive as the usual suspects, Hitler, the Holocaust and the death chambers were wheeled out for another airing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are also disturbing signs in Israel where these repulsive Orthodox mullahs are trying to out-Islam Islam by enforcing their superstitions on the public at large, and assaulting Palestinian civilians while being protected by Israeli soldiers. And all while they themselves won't serve in said armed forces. Bigoted hypocritical creeps.&lt;br /&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, to all of this I say &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;‘for fuck sake’&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. Stop it! Stop it now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jews beware!
