Hi Pat,
I do understand how that must bug you. It might also seem hypocritical as you know I love Britain too and love visiting there and so much about its history and culture. I'm a sucker for old buildings and shit like that. What can I tell you?
Also, please remember that it's not just Britain that I'm going on about. I often note how Canada is blithely prancing down the same path. Just this week, even as the left here (and that includes almost all the media) is complaining about the new anti-niqab legislation in Quebec, a Quebec father there has been arrested for assaulting his daughter for years for taking off her hijab in public. The only thing is that one little report like that would be almost quaint and charming in Britain now, it happens so regularly there. Or there's the story of the Saudi student at UBC who was let off his attempted murder charge on the basis of temporary insanity yesterday. He'd been influenced by the Koran and tried to cut off the head of a girl in his dorm. The judge accepted the defence argument that anyone who does that must be "crazy". What's the word I saw today, "Islamity"? But again, these are still relatively isolated stories here. Fewer Muslims, fewer stories. It's not rocket science.
At the same time, perhaps because we're right next to the states, we do seem to have a fuller sense of free speech than Britain's maintained. You guys are truly in an Orwellian phase now and that's no exaggeration. I'm sure that you must find that even more than slightly irritating when you think of it. And I'm also sure that you, as the smart, informed guy you are, think of it often.
So I don't know. I'm a talker. I can't help myself. I'm chatty and this seems like stuff to talk about. It really does seem plausible that one day in the not too distant future John may have to remove his link to JW here. I don't know. Already the conversation there is constrained and risky.
Fortunately, the states has that damn constitution although the left is doing all it can to gut its impact. We all know the stories. Or at least those of us who are bothering to watch.
These guys here who bleat "racism" like mindless sheep are impossible to talk with. So why do I bother? I don't know.
But here's one for you -- and this is Canadian again. The other night a pop singer in Halifax tried to segregate her crowd, inviting all the blacks up front and asking whites to go to the back. A white photographer who was shooting the show refused to go and was kicked out. The festival hosting the concert then apologized for the photographers' "racism" as well as that of some of the other white volunteers working the show who also stayed up front. And our ridiculous liberal media reported it as if that was shamefully racist on the volunteers' part.
Obama fucked America so bad. I dare anyone to read Heather MacDonald's books "The War on Cops" or the earlier "Are Cops Racists?" and disagree. All this victimhood nonsense is like the paralyzing part of the venom that breaks down all resistance before the rest of the poison (Islam) finishes us off.
So now we can still talk about this. I don't take that for granted anymore.
