‘The Last Man’.

Posted by ligneus1 on Apr 11th, 2009 in Uncategorized, Western Civilization | 1 comment I have thought that the major part of what made Eutopia pacifist was the protection afforded by the US Military, freeing them from the expense of providing for their own defense and allowing them to indulge in Socialist welfare statism and feel good smug superiority over the cowboys standing on guard against the Soviet Communists, much like the thirty something ‘man’ living in his mom’s basement. Seems like that might have been just an enabler of sorts but not a cause of the Eu disease of emasculation and impotence. I came across Life on Venus: Europe’s Last Man by Adam Kirsch...

Those Evil Europeans

Posted by zee on Mar 29th, 2009 in Left, Obama-debacle, RINOs and Socialist News, Western Civilization | 0 comments This is just so muslim-like; the destruction of cultural artifacts, the revision of history, the maniacal reach of castrated men seeking power. But then, what doesn’t the left do that isn’t congruous with the goals and tenets of Islam. And we who were not idiotic enough to vote for Obama have long known of his affinity for all things Islamic. An affinity that will only serve to accelerate the pace at which America is being destroyed. So when I read of Chavez’s latest purge of history I can’t help but fear what American treasure the ravenous hordes of Obamanites, along with all...

Opting Out.

Posted by ligneus1 on Feb 18th, 2009 in Survival, Western Civilization | 8 comments A while back in an e-mail, Zee expressed an interest in finding a piece of land on which to live, grow vegetables and fruit, keep chickens and a couple of cows partly in order to become less dependent on government services and utilities. Well there is an interesting post and comments at Fresh Bilge on the subject and on opting out of the system as much as possible, lying low as some call it. Though I haven’t done much posting lately I think we bloggers are by definition ‘involved’ in our communities and our country and all without need of community organizers. We are ‘free...

Comment of the Day: Suicidal West

Posted by zee on Jan 11th, 2009 in Israel, Western Civilization | 0 comments It doesn’t take any special knowledge of intelligence, or any security clearance, at all, to know what’s been happening to Israel. It is white guilt and delusional visions of war (as detailed in the laughable Geneva Conventions), through and through, and it is happening inside Israel as much as in the US. The US has been trying to abandon Americans (and worse) with the various pushes for amnesty for illegals and paths to citizenship, so an abandonment of Israel should not be surprising to anyone. The modern push has been to destroy the viability of all nation-states and to treat the concept of...

Be Prepared to Bow Before Your Islamic Masters (Spit)

Posted by zee on Sep 2nd, 2008 in Muslims / Islam, Western Civilization | 0 comments Gateway to Hell For all the secularists and atheists and christo-phobes, become acquainted with the masters you will one day kneel before – if you keep up your incessant support of islam. You will long for the day when all you had to contend with were pushy preachers. This is in England, a country robust with those who despise the Christian god and those who have pushed a multicultural agenda. As they are now finding out, you will soon reap what you have sown in America. Later this month it’s Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year. It’s one of the holiest days of the Jewish calendar, so...

White History Course: Perhaps Not a Bad Idea

Posted by zee on Aug 27th, 2008 in Western Civilization | 13 comments Muslim Slave Trade I have read too much material written by smug little intellectuals condemning whites for their supposedly indelible, inherent racist nature. I have become aware of far too many young Americans buying into the white guilt trip, ready to denigrate America based on the revisionist history fed to them at the public school trough. I have read too many accounts of slavery that totally exclude the history of arab, black and muslim slave traders, and I have read too many black writers who have no interest in equality, just payback. And then, there is the revelation of the blacks who...

Words Worth Quoting

Posted by zee on Aug 18th, 2008 in War, Western Civilization, Words Worth Quoting | 0 comments Excerpted from Michael Ledeen’s War & Democracy The belief in the inevitability of peace and democracy rested on one of the great conceits of the European Enlightenment, namely the belief in the perfectibility of man. In this view, man’s basic goodness (as found in “the state of nature”) had been corrupted by a selfish society (a notion that finds much favor among today’s more extreme Greens), but that once the heavy weight of misguided was lifted, man’s intrinsic goodness would reemerge. In our modern rendition of that Enlightenment folly, an appeal to reason is sufficient to...

Georgia: Not Quite as Putin Intended.

Posted by ligneus1 on Aug 17th, 2008 in War, Western Civilization | 8 comments In spite of Akira’s valiant attempts to portray Putin as a master strategist and the aggrieved party to the conflict, the consequences are beginning to be more in line with my views than his. First from AP: TBILISI, Georgia (AP) — German Chancellor Angela Merkel is offering strong support for Georgia, saying the country is on track to become a member of NATO. Merkel flew to the Georgian capital of Tbilisi on Sunday, two days after she met with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev in the Black Sea resort of Sochi. In a speech Sunday, Merkel also suggested that NATO could help rebuild the tattered...

George Jonas and the Like.

Posted by ligneus1 on Aug 5th, 2008 in Western Civilization | 1 comment Since Larry G liked the GJ article I posted, here is another, Liberalism: It’s Own Worst Enemy. As Kagan notes, born-again autocracy masquerading as a respectable alternative to Western-style government is a dangerous ideological rival to liberal democracy. Any others? Well, there’s militant, theocratic Islam, a self-evident rival since the Iranian revolution of 1979. Tribalism is another obvious rival, though probably self-limiting. Competing tribal doctrines might ignite cruel little wars, but lack the monolithic force of totalitarian ideologies. Actually, a European Union-type of...
