Repeal the Irish blasphemy law!
Defend the right to criticise religion.
Stop Sharia law in Ireland!





Ronald Reagan, 1911-2004, my vote for greatest US President ever.

The man who won the Cold War for the free world. The man who destroyed communism. The man who destroyed the Soviet terrorist state and the Soviet Empire. The man to whom we owe our freedom.

Instead of Reagan, we've got this guy. It looks bad, but politics is unpredictable. Maybe he will surprise us.

From here.




Obama clock:


days


until Obama leaves office on 20 Jan 2013.

America is the greatest country in the world. And it seems to have elected a naive, innocent and weak President for no apparent reason other than that he is cool and sexy. I would love to be proved wrong. I would love for Obama to be a good President. But it looks bad so far.

Obama agrees to Afghan surge, Nov-Dec 2009. There may be some hope.

About me


My history

I am moderate libertarian/right - or a neo-conservative - or a classic 18th century liberal.

I'm not like many on the "right", such as these people and these people.

Who am I like? I'm like these people.

Who would I vote for?

Loyalty

My loyalty is primarily to the West - that is, to the free countries of the world.

In order, I identify with:


1. The Anglosphere, the best part of the West.

2. The West, the best part of planet Earth.

3. Ireland. Ireland is admirable for its long history of democracy, and its free economy - but not admirable for its refusal to defend the West.

(Not at all) The EU. I am not a "European". I am a citizen of the West. Linking me specifically with continental Europe is highly artificial.

(Not at all) The World. I am not a "citizen of the world". The world is full of tyranny, religious fanaticism, tribalism and ignorance. I am a citizen of the free world.

College View letter


Geert Wilders prosecuted by Holland for his intemperate criticism of Islam, Jan 2010. I am not a fan of Wilders. But that is beside the point. In a free society, what he says should be legal.



Fascists protest against Geert Wilders, Oct 2009.



Fascists issue death threats to Geert Wilders, London, Oct 2009.
The YouTube comments give a good idea of how Britons (including liberal Muslims) feel at these ignorant religious maniacs threatening their wonderful country, the birthplace of science and democracy.



Blasphemy law introduced by idiot Fianna Fail government in Ireland. Comes into operation on 1 Jan 2010. Shame on Fianna Fail. Shame on the Greens. Shame on the PDs. Shame on Dermot Ahern.



Repeal the blasphemy law!
Defend the right to criticise religion.
Stop Sharia law in Ireland!


What is needed now is a commitment by Fine Gael and Labour that if they are elected, they will repeal the blasphemy law, and hold a referendum to delete the offensive passage from the Constitution.

2009


Jihad at British universities



Tzipi Livni, Israel's former Foreign Minister, threatened with arrest during visit to Britain, Dec 2009.

Consider Britain's bizarre standards:

  1. Enemy leader Yasser Arafat was let into Britain in 2001. Arafat was the father of modern Islamist terror against westerners. He was the leader of the Israel front of the global jihad.
  2. Enemy leader Assad of Syria was let into Britain in 2002. Syria is involved in killing British soldiers.
  3. Enemy leader Khatami of Iran was let into Britain in 2006. Iran is involved in killing British soldiers.
  4. Enemy leader King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia was let into Britain in 2007. Saudi Arabia is involved in spreading Islamist hatred throughout the world.
  5. The hate-preaching chief cleric of the Grand Mosque in Mecca was let into Britain in 2009. He says the Jews "are killers of prophets and the scum of the earth. God .. made them monkeys and pigs and worshippers of tyrants."

  6. Anti-jihad politician Tzipi Livni, Foreign Minister of Britain's only real ally in the Middle East, is threatened with arrest if she visits Britain, 2009.
  7. Anti-jihad politician Geert Wilders was banned from Britain in 2009. Wilders is the leader of the most popular party in Holland. He lives under constant death threat from the jihad.
  8. Anti-jihad radio host Michael Savage was banned from Britain in 2009. Home Secretary Jacqui Smith said: "Coming to this country is a privilege. If you can't live by the rules that we live by, the standards and the values that we live by, we should exclude you from this country". I am no fan of Savage, but I agree with Mark Steyn who asked: "How many members of King Abdullah's entourage at the G20 summit the other week live by Jacqui Smith's "standards and values"?"


Sign the petition to free the US Navy SEALs charged with punching enemy fighter Ahmed Hashim Abed (alleged leader of the 2004 slaughter and mutilation of Blackwater contractors in Fallujah).


The mutilated bodies of the Blackwater contractors killed at Fallujah in 2004 are hung from a bridge. One of them was a former US Navy SEAL. And we are meant to care if the leader of these barbaric killings is assaulted?



Former US Navy SEAL Scott Helvenston competes against a chimp in an obstacle course on a TV show. Helvenston was killed and mutilated in Fallujah in 2004.



Obama agrees to Afghan surge, Nov-Dec 2009. Good for him. Despite his awful rhetoric, he may not be such a disaster after all. Let us try to keep alive a scrap of hope.


MQ-1 Predator drone, of the type that
President Obama is using to assassinate jihadis without trial.
Despite his awful rhetoric, he's not all bad.



"Civilians killed in Iraq since Obama was elected".
The left has also begun to notice that Obama has not ended the War on Islamism.
Absurdly, they blame Obama for killings done by Islamists (just as they blamed Bush for killings done by Islamists). Why not blame the people who are actually doing the killing?

Why did Jesus never tell us anything new?



Jesus visits earth, and does not tell us anything new about the history of the earth, human origins, the size and nature of the universe, or useful information that would save billions of lives such as how the body works and how to prevent disease. He does not tell us anything new about mathematics, science, technology, history or medicine. All he does is perform a few tricks in front of a handful of people, and tells us vague things that any uneducated ancient Middle Easterner could have said. As the video says: "And this is meant to be that god's main advertisement of its existence!"
From the brilliant "NonStampCollector".

The BNP on Question Time, Oct 2009
  • Has the BNP "reformed"?

  • The BNP has screwed up the immigration debate by turning it into a debate about race, when it should be a debate about ideas.

The media bias for Obama

The Mehdi Hasan affair, July 2009


Disgrace: Irish government introduces working blasphemy law, July 2009. This is the most shameful FF vote since 1985. This is the most shameful Green vote ever. This is the most shameful PD vote ever.


The two most disgraceful votes by Irish politicians in my lifetime:


 

Blasphemy law meeting, Wynn's Hotel, Dublin, 25 May 2009.
I make a contribution from the floor at 4:14 to 5:27.
See full size.



Obama, as expected, is a partisan and divisive President.

As predicted, the doctrinaire leftist Obama is not something new and post-partisan and unifying. Rather he is partisan, divisive, and increasingly unpopular. One would never guess this from reading the European media. Consider the following:

  1. Mar 2009: Bush, 2 months in, had a higher approval rating than Obama, 2 months in.
  2. June 2009: It was the 2008 economic crisis that won the election for Obama, but the voters aren't impressed so far. Voters now trust the Republicans more than the Democrats on the economy. Voters trust the Republicans more on all the economic and foreign policy issues asked - the economy, taxes, national security, and Iraq.
  3. July 2009: More Americans disapprove (50%) than approve (44%) of the way Obama is handling healthcare. More disapprove (49%) than approve (47%) of Obama on the economy.
  4. July 2009: 38 percent of voters Strongly Disapprove of the way Obama is performing as President. Only 30 percent Strongly Approve. Just 25 percent believe Obama's "stimulus" package has helped the economy.
  5. July 2009: Obama is 10th in popularity among the 12 post-WW2 presidents at this point in their tenures.


Iran's bid for freedom is crushed

It looks like the bid for democracy in Iran has been crushed by the regime (for now). One can't help feeling that:

  1. Obama didn't support them enough. (The struggle of non-westerners for freedom against non-western regimes makes little sense to his cautious, realpolitik world view.)
  2. The Iranians didn't fight hard enough for their freedom. (Yes I know it's easy to say that.)


The weak, half-hearted Obama seems not to care
whether the USA's no.1 enemy is toppled or not.

Michael Rubin on Obama's "realism": "Realism is about maximizing U.S. interests. Preserving an enemy regime is not realism. It is simply stupid. We should not be throwing a lifeline to the Islamic Republic, the fall of which would enable Iran to emerge as a force for moderation in the region, and allow the Iranian people to take their rightful place among nations."



Think what Reagan would be saying right now
as the Iranians fight for their freedom against the Axis of Evil!

Andrew Klavan on Obama's weakness, 22 June 2009: "Compare, if you can bear it, President Ronald Reagan's response to the 1982 crackdown on the Polish union Solidarity by the Soviet Union: "The struggle in the world today for the hearts and minds of mankind is based on one simple question: Is man born to be free, or slave?" ... In less than a decade, in startlingly large measure because this one idea found so mighty a voice, the Soviet Union was gone."

Israeli Premier, Benjamin Netanyahu speaks with the moral clarity that Obama lacks: "The Iranian regime oppresses is own people. ... The Iranian peoples' courage in their search for liberty is something that deserves notice from free men."



Support Iran's Freedom Revolution


Mousavi is an Islamist thug (as are the other "opposition" leaders Karroubi and Kadivar). But this is bigger than Mousavi or any "opposition" figure. These are the biggest protests in Iran since the 1979 revolution. This could (let's hope!) spiral out of control. This could bring down the Islamic regime itself.

The 1979 Iranian regime falling would be perhaps the greatest event in the world since the fall of the Soviet Empire in 1989. It would be by far the greatest event of Obama's presidency. It would remove the nuclear threat to Israel and Europe. It would remove the sponsor of Hamas and Hezbollah and Syria, and the killer of American and British troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. It would deal a mortal blow to Islamism and jihadism worldwide.

Everyone should verbally support the revolt. Though after the bloodbath in Iraq when the West tried to help the Iraqis, no one is directly going to help the Iranians gain their freedom. They will have to do it themselves.



The death of Iranian protester Neda Soltani, June 2009.
The Iranians have to fight for their freedom. Wish them luck.



The Stoning of Soraya M. (2009). The first movie since the massive Islamist attacks of 11 Sept 2001 to actually depict Islamism.

This tough new movie reminds us why the Iranians are struggling to be free of the vile clerics who control their lives.

Eight years we had to wait since 2001 for the first movie about the reality of Islamism. Why? Because it is politically "incorrect" to talk about it.



The Stoning of Soraya M. (2009), about the stoning to death in 1986 in Iran of Soraya Manutchehri, a 35-year-old mother of seven.




Local and European elections, and by-elections, June 2009

Local and European and Dublin Central and Dublin South.

Good news:

  1. Anti-government vote goes to sensible, pro-market, centre-right parties rather than radicals. Martyn Turner gets it right. (Though he seems to think it is a bad thing!)
  2. Anti-government vote in Ireland makes Fine Gael largest party.
  3. Anti-government vote in UK makes Tories and UKIP largest two parties.

  4. Libertas go from 0 to 5.45 percent (5th largest party) in Ireland. Anti-Islamist Philippe de Villiers wins European seat for Libertas in France.

  5. Geert Wilders' party goes from 0 to 4 European seats (2nd largest party) in Holland. Despite my reservations, it sends an important message (that the infidels of Europe will not tolerate Islamism).

  6. Mary Lou McDonald out. SF-IRA have no MEP from Republic.
  7. SF-IRA vote static or down in local and European and NI European.

Bad news:

  1. 2 European seats for BNP in UK.
  2. 5 People Before Profit councillors elected.
  3. Proinsias De Rossa re-elected.
  4. Joe Higgins elected.
  5. Richard Boyd Barrett elected.




Good news: Mary Lou McDonald gone.
Her party is the political wing of the IRA, which has killed nearly 2,000 people.
Her party supported the Nazis in WW2.
In 2003 she made a speech honouring a Nazi collaborator.
Above in the video in 2008 she is attacking Israel as it struggles against Islamist aggressors (who, by the way, also supported the Nazis).




Elections, June 2009. Punish Fianna Fail and the Greens for the blasphemy law!


I am someone who has openly praised and supported the Fianna Fail / PD governments on my website. They have made Ireland rich, far beyond the achievements of any previous Irish governments. I name Bertie Ahern as the best Taoiseach ever on my site. Yes, there has been an economic crash recently, but this is a global problem, and it will pass. At worst we may go back to early 2000s level of wealth before things pick up again.

Before the blasphemy law, I was going to vote FF in the local election, European election and my local Dail by-election. Because of my anger at the blasphemy law, FF lost all my votes.



Fianna Fail threw away my otherwise certain vote
with their offensive blasphemy law.
