Tour de la izquierda: its apologists, its promoters and its enablers -- & -- McCarthyism, "POOF" & the Democratic Deficit in Canada

This is a continuation of several posts from yesterday and earlier today.

My final word for today:

This post rounds out my Sunday in June . . . and my Saturday, come to think of it. I just couldn't get away from all of it. What kind of nut case reads this stuff . . . even is fascinated? Me, I squeak. Somebody, use the comment space; say something . . . anything. Write that I'm crazy . . . whatever. Just indicate that someone looks at this stuff . . . someone besides my ever present hacking contingent, of course. Otherwise, what is the point? NJC


Scratch that promise for only one more (I promise) post which I am inserting here because it is so important to democracy in Canada. It concerns disappearing public documents, documents which would trouble the guilty or compromised and which the good bloggers find--scratch that too, "found", until they went "POOF".

McCarthy Era of the G & M coming?

"Are you now, or have you ever been, a Christian?" -- from "The Christian conspiracy of the north!", Jun. 4, 05, www.wnd.com

[. . . . ] "Christian activists capturing Tory races," shouted the headline. (The "races" were Conservative nomination contests.) A sub-headline elaborated: "Some in party worry new riding nominees will reinforce notion of 'hidden agenda.'"

[. . . . ] Now for Christians, Muslims and religious Jews, the source of all morality is religious. God is the only moral authority they know. Therefore, if they are prohibited from allowing their religion to influence their view of the laws they are called upon to pass, then they are – according to this judge and the Globe – unfit to hold public office. And since some 90 percent of Canadians avow belief in God, this would restrict public office to about 10 percent of the population.

In the meantime, how exactly the Globe would have the Conservative Party meet this ominous "Christian" peril, it did not say. Will candidates for nomination be formally questioned under oath: "Are you now, or have you ever been, a Christian?" Canada is not there yet, of course. But we're progressing.

Tour de la izquierda: its apologists, its promoters and its enablers

" Shine the spotlight, name the names... and comments which includes a link to "How Wrong They Were" by Hussein Shirazi in FrontPageMagazine.com, June 1, 2005

The author is a British academic of Iranian descent who lives in London.

On May 17th, British parliamentarian George Galloway treated a sub-committee of the US Senate to a tirade which appeared to bemuse and amuse in equal measure.
If we edit his testimony for shameless mendacity (e.g. presenting himself as a consistent opponent of the regime of Saddam Hussein), Galloway did make a couple of points which reflect the consensus of the anti-American left, namely that the current situation in Iraq is a “disaster” and that the root cause of the violence is the “occupation” of the country by US and allied forces. The implication, stated explicitly in a recent article by Jonathan Steele of the Guardian, is that withdrawal of the multinational forces would dampen if not terminate the insurgency. While the flaws in this argument are obvious, given that the prime target of the insurgency is now the elected government of Iraq and its employees, there is another question we should ask:
what is the track record of those who want an immediate pull-out from Iraq in providing accurate analysis and timely advice? What would have happened, let’s say, if the US and its allies had followed their advice in October 2001, at the start of their campaign in Afghanistan?

[. . . . ]
The current situation in Iraq is that of an elected government seeking to establish control over its national territory with the assistance of US and allied forces acting with its consent and under a United Nations mandate. This government has been recognised by all of Iraq’s neighbours, including regimes in Iran and Syria which are antagonistic to the US.

[. . . . ]
The anti-American left is a de facto ally of the terrorists and insurgents now operating in Iraq. It spreads their propaganda, it shares their hatreds and it supports their main aim: the humiliation and defeat of America.

One link in the above leads to: The Fourth Conjecture The Belmont Club, June 2, 05

Item: a letter has been delivered to the Indonesian embassy in Canberra containing anthrax-related spores. [Scroll down for ""Just walkin' in the rain" -- twirling my brolly" ] The attack is believed motivated by outrage over the sentencing to 20 years imprisonment of Australian Schapelle Corby, widely believed innocent, in Indonesia on drug charges after Bali mastermind Abu Bakar Bashir was given 30 months for murdering nearly 100 Australians. The terrorist weapon was supposed to bring America to its knees, but as terrorist methods proliferate it is increasingly being used in internecine fighting throughout the Muslim world and by non-Muslims in retaliation. [. . . . ]

What was that about a faculty lounge in Islamabad?

Postscript

One of the conclusions of the Three Conjectures was that terrorism was a universal threat; that paradoxically, it threatened Islam most of all. Even in Postscript to the Three Conjectures , written right afterwards, it was plain that the engine of unbridled force, once unleashed, would find its most bloody employment in intramural warfare between terrorist groups and the communities in which they lived. Looking back on the post now, I regret the florid style but not the thought. [. . . . ]

If Islam desires the secret of the stars it must embrace the kuffar as its brother -- or die.

The daily bombing and killing of Muslims in Iraq has caused many Muslims to see the true nature of AQ [al Qaeda]. This discrediting of Radical Islam has ironically begun to unify the Arab world that the only other alternative is Democracy - albeit Muslim-style. And as the turn to Democracy takes root, it has hardened the oppoenents [sic] to it.

The current war in Iraq is now between Iraqis who favor freedom and Islamists and Pan-Arabists who favor a different principle. The War in Iraq is now a Civil War, but a Civil War that stretches all around the Middle East. One that pits the Isrealis, Jordanians, Iraqis, Kuwaitis and Lebanese against the Syrians, Saudis, and Palestinians. On the surface the division appears to be religion, but its not.

Its no accident that the Wahhabists on one hand the the Baathists ( Socialists ) are unified in some respects in Iraq. We see the same unification here with the Left sympathizing with the Islamo-fascists.

If you follow a link in the above, you will find the: 14 traits of fascism, which was explained, subsequently, as follows:

As a teenager I used to like to go down to the local bookshop and buy cheap (mainly Penguin) paperbacks. Looking back it is actually quite shocking to me to discover that most of these books were written by Marxists. Educating the masses it seems was largely a matter of supplying books containing the thoughts of those who admired Stalin.

Not that Penguin is unique in this respect. With hindsight vast swathes of intellectual life in the last hundred years have been dominated by totalitarian loving apologists for evil.

It is quite odd that despite listening to Leftist propaganda on the BBC, reading Leftist propaganda in my spare time, and being lectured at by Leftists during my compulsory State education, I did not become another Leftist clone. Actually it is not so extraordinary, because anybody stops being ‘educated’ for a moment and starts to think, it is obvious that Leftism has been one of the greatest moral disasters in human history.

I suppose this is why I am rather fond of societies that instead of seeking to destroy your independence and forcing you to behave in ways that suit the interests of the Nomenclature uphold truth and goodness as ideals whose pursuit requires freedom of choice.

In other words, what matters is not that there are stupid and wicked people in the world, relevant as this is, nor is it even having the freedom to expose the actions of such people, but living in a society in which nobody, no matter how benevolent their aims, are given so much power that they can direct the details of how you live your life. [. . . . ]

Somebody, copy this and send it to Canada's PM.

Or might it entail a respect for the religions that promote democracy and the family, not daycare, bathhouse weddings, pot poor enough to tax, but not to smoke, so the globalized agri-business will thrive alongside the meth labs, any deal that will allow the elites to thrive . . . the crowd which also happens to contain Belinda, Paul, Jean, the powerful Paul, Mo and all the rest . . . to make a killing making $$$$$ while suppressing and subduing free thought, personal freedom and responsibility, along with our intuition about what all this means to the rest of us? . . . to choose and even to make and learn from mistakes . . .

Oops, I'm getting carried away again. In recompense, check out Carnival of the Recipes from Conservative Friends -- I've checked two and they look yummy.
