Attack on the black church? 386
It seems that the Reverend Wright’s sort of church is not so much a conventional place of worship as a grievance clinic, where people can go every seven days to have their victimhood freshened up.
Could it happen to America? 258
Europe is fast becoming Eurabia because it is too weak to withstand the soft jihad being waged against it. Will America become Amerabia in the same way?
Read here how the insidious process has begun in the US.
Liberal Fascism 271
A book we strongly recommend is "Liberal Fascism" by Jonah Goldberg.
Goldberg states firmly and truly: "Fascism, properly understood, is not a phenomenon of the right … it is, and always has been a phenomenon of the left. This fact – an inconvenient truth if ever there was one – is obscured in our time by the equally mistaken belief that fascism and communism are opposites.. In reality… in terms of their theory and practice, the differences are minimal."
And if that comes as a surprise to some readers, this further truth will probably surprise them even more: "American Progressivism – the moralistic social crusade from which modern liberals proudly claim descent – is in some respects the major source of the fascist ideas applied in Europe by Hitler and Mussolini." And: "Modern liberalism is the offspring of twentieth-century progressivism, which in turn shares intellectual roots with European fascism."
The book is crammed with evidence for these contentions.
Goldberg draws the right distinction between classical liberalism (free-market liberalism, individualism) and statist liberalism, the would-be totalitarianism that "views everything as political and holds that any action by the state is justified to achieve the common good [and] takes responsibility for all aspects of life, including our health and well-being, and seeks to impose uniformity of thought and action." This is the liberalism of political correctness, of bans on drinking and smoking, of prescribing what and how much we should eat. It is the liberalism, or more accurately the fascism of Al Gore and the other Man-Made Global Warming fanatics who would change our way of life to something austere and miserable in the name of a higher good; and of "Hillary Clinton and her friends – the leading proponents and exemplars of liberal fascism in our time", to whom an entire chapter is devoted, and whose universal health-care proposal is a perfect example of tyranny in the name of the general good.
Of course American liberalism, he concedes, is not intended to be a brutal but a "nice" totalitarianism, "nannying, not bullying". But it is "definitely totalitarian in that liberalism today sees no realm of human life that is beyond political significance."
The author rightly traces all modern totalitarian regimes back to Rousseau and the French Revolution. But totalitarianism did not begin there. He stresses that statism is often presented and welcomed as an alternative religion. What he neglects to mention is that the Catholic Church in the Middle Ages was as cruelly totalitarian as it could get, and so were branches of Protestantism where and when they had the power to be so.
The name of the enemy 224
Read here a discussion about the folly and danger of not naming the enemy who is waging war against us.
Sue the warmists 245
There is a possible lawsuit in the air against global-warmist Al Gore. For fraud.
The news makes my day.

Hail Eurabia! 384
Europe will be a Muslim continent a few decades from now. Here is an article on how it is happening.
True enough as far as it goes, it does not deal with the actual planning of unlimited Muslim immigration into Europe by European leaders, academics, and civil servants in conjunction with Middle Eastern Islamic heads of state.
A question no one is asking or answering is: what will it mean for the US when Europe is a Muslim continent?
Beware Shariya-Compliant Finance 213
Here is an article that warns against SCF, showing how it is a weapon in the arsenal of soft jihad.
Wright in context 274
Jeremiah Wright sees no fault in Louis Farrakhan. Farrakhan, he says, did not enslave him, and did not make him black. (On Fox News today.)
Someone made Wright black? Who could that have been? And was it a bad thing to do? Bad like enslaving people?
Do some or many blacks just hate being black? Do they envy whites for being white?
Whose fault is it that they are not comfortable with being black? Do they blame whites for their self-discontent?
And is it a kind of inverted or reflexive racism?
The Metastasis of Shariya 287
Read here an excellent survey of how soft jihad is succeeding, and the cancer of sharia spreading through the bodies politic of the West.
