Britain’s Welfare State: The Model of Unsustainability

Moonbats like to use the word “unsustainable.” How’s this for unsustainable? A jobless couple rake in £95,000 in state benefits a year — and even have breakfast delivered to the door each morning, courtesy of the taxpayer. The money — five times the starting salary of a teacher — goes to unemployed Pete and Sam […]

It won’t be long before the Holocaust never happened. In France, teaching students about it can already get you suspended: A history teacher has been suspended in France for spending too much time teaching students about the Holocaust.

Did Turkey Bomb Kurds With Chemical Weapons in 2009?

News is just beginning to eek out that Turkey might have used chemical weapons to kill some Kurdish activists a year ago in the Kurdish area of southeastern Turkey. If this is true it could severely complicate relations between the EU and Turkey, an applicant for EU membership. Germany’s largest magazine, Der Spiegel, is reporting […]

 

Narrative and the Memory of War

“It is a measure of the power of narrative that we publicly grieve more for the deaths of our enemies than those of our allies in a war that is now fading quickly from human memory,” the blogger Tigerhawk writes. On both the European and Pacific theaters of World War II, Hollywood and the rest of the left have certainly been doing their part in recent years.

 

White Males Need Not Apply

Once again we can see our near future under liberal rule by looking to formerly great Britain, where white guys are told not even to bother to apply: William Hague was … plunged into a row over new Foreign Office rules which ban white males from gaining work experience at his department.

Friday Stupid: EU Court Blocks Extradition Of Jihadis Because Barry Might Treat Them Meanly

Oh, ok, I know, it’s not necessarily fair to drag Obama into this, but, hey, he is The President, right? That was the standard set while Bush was president. Getting beyond that, this incredible article shows exactly what Obama and the Democrats want to do with the American court system, namely, outsource oversight and sovereignty […]

 




Obamacare: Eliminating the Poor and Elderly’s Last Resort to Life and Health

Many left-wingers complain that our healthcare system as it stands leaves out the poor, elderly, and those least able to care for themselves. They say that because of this inequity private medical care should be eliminated and government should take over that role in society. That way, they claim, all will be treated equally and […]

 

Prince Charles: Follow Islam to Save Gaia

It’s hard to imagine how the subversion of the Church of England could get any worse — yet it will, should Prince Charles ascend to the throne. The effective head of the Church of England is the dhimmified, sharia-promoting, anti-American, tradition-bashing Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams. If that isn’t bad enough, the titular head — […]

 

Clear-Cutting Forests to Save the Planet

While paving the way for Comrade Obama’s imposition of socialism, George W. Bush declared, “I’ve abandoned free market principles to save the free market system.” Taking a similar approach, the moonbats running Denmark are saving the earth from the nonexistent climate crisis by clear-cutting forests. Even some environmentalists are alarmed by the absolute insanity: The […]

 

Government-Applied Medical Informatics

Mark Steyn gives us an idea of why consolidation of medical information in federal hands is such a crucial part of ObamaCare. In Britain, postcards have been warning that the Tories will snatch away the healthcare entitlements of women with breast cancer. So as not to waste money printing out postcards for everyone, Labour is […]

 


Socialists Find Out When “Eventually” Is.

“The problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people’s money. — Margaret Thatcher Eventually is here for Greece. Here’s Dick Morris on what’s happening and the potential fall-out for the United States: “Investors have gone from being nervous about small banks (the savings-and-loan crisis of the ’80s) to being nervous about […]

 

Washington Post Cheers Europe Moving Away From Leftist Big Government Policies

First we had the NY Times saying “perhaps that socialism stuff ain’t all that great in Greece,” now we have the Washington Post chiming in The massive emergency fund assembled to defend the value of the euro is backed by a political gamble with an uncertain outcome: that European governments will rewrite a post-World War […]

 

Moonbat Anti-Macho Manifesto

Funny thing about politics: you can be a conservative and be all woman, but how can you be a moonbat and be any kind of man? Germany’s Green Party offers a glimpse of what progressives think you should be instead: A new manifesto from the German Green Party aims to banish macho men for good. […]

 

The Latest “Right:” Traveling

One point conservatives have made again and again is that you don’t have any “rights” that someone else has to pay for. That’s why it may be moral for our society to provide health care to people who can’t afford it, but it’s not a “right.” If health care is a “right,” then why not […]

 

Housing in a Socialist Paradise

Despite all the Hopey Change, Sweden is still ahead of us on the road toward collectivism. Let’s see how easy it is to find housing in a place where it’s regarded as a “human right”: Long waiting times and high black market prices have long characterised Stockholm’s rental housing market… The sheer hopelessness of the […]

 

ObamaCare, British Style: Bonuses for Service Denied

The beauty of capitalism is that it gives everyone an incentive to provide others with the goods and services they need. Socialism offers incentives too — but like everything on the left, they are depraved. From Airstrip One, which has already taken the plunge into the English version of ObamaCare: Patients’ groups expressed horror at […]

 

ICE Assists German Government in Persecuting Homeschoolers

One of Hitler’s progressive policies survives to this day in Germany: a ban on homeschooling. Uwe and Hannalore Romeike of Bissingen had three of their four children temporarily confiscated by the State because they insisted on teaching them at home, undermining Big Government’s ability to twist their minds into the shape of its choosing. In […]

 

Obama Likes Euroweenies So Much He Even Dates Like One

On my Twitter feed, I spotted a post by Patrick Ruffini asking a pertinent question… “What’s up with Barack Obama writing out dates euro-style?” Check out this photo as hosted on the White House website… Notice that the president signed his name and then penned the date as “11 June 2009”? That is the European […]

 

Trials for bin Laden? Why?

There has never been a trial of a fallen national leader that would stand up to the scrutiny of good criminal law. They have always been politically motivated, full of passion, and short on legal niceties or any observation of technical precision. Because of this, should the United States capture Usamma bin Laden, she should […]

 

British PSA Agency Tells Al Gore: You Lie

Well, maybe they didn’t say it directly to Al Gore, but I’m pretending that they did in my mind, because it pleases me immensely. From NewsBusters: A British agency has banned two government television ads for exaggerating the danger of global warming. In what we would call public service announcements in the States, the Department […]

 

Small Children Listed for Thought Crimes

Still more lunatic politically correct totalitarianism from Once-Great Britain, the croaking canary in the coalmine of moonbattery: Teachers are to be told that even if a primary school child uses homophobic or racist words without knowing their meaning, simply teaching them such words are hurtful and inappropriate is not enough. Instead the incident has to […]

 


Europeans Ready to Stick a Fork in Obama

Hopey Change didn’t have much of a shelf life. In Europe, they’re already writing the Moonbat Messiah’s political epitaph: The descent of Barack Obama’s regime, characterised now by factionalism in the Democratic Party and talk of his being set to emulate Jimmy Carter as a one-term president, has been swift and precipitate. It was just […]
