‘Maori Party co-leader Pita Sharples has lent his support to save a Black Power stronghold from being demolished because the gang pad caters for the “spiritual and cultural needs” of Maori.
The MP wrote to the Auckland City Council (under his Parliamentary letterhead. kg) asking staff to ignore illegal structures on the Mt Wellington property – which was the hub of a $1.5 million cannabis ring – and to grant a waiver for breaches of the district plan.’ source

By his own admission then, selling drugs, standover tactics, thuggery, robbery and rape are part of maori’s “spiritual and cultural needs”.  Glad he’s cleared that up for us.

“The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army-Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance, or the most abject submission; that is all we can expect-We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die.” — George Washington to his troops before the Battle of Long Island.

What we face today is no less a “hinge of history” than what those men faced at that time.
Our enemy isn’t a foreign king and his agents don’t wear red coats. If it was, the solution would be easy. Instead the enemy is a self- appointed elite and their agents wear the masks of faux compassion and “reasonableness'” while peddling an illusory equality and dreams of a world without conflict.
They use–and some are–the media, academia, teacher’s unions and a vast, vast dispiriting army of usefully uninformed fools who parrot the poisonous lines fed them by their overlords. That vast army who are too apathetic to learn that they’re mere tools help enforce the speech codes and submissive behaviour  they’ve been indoctrinated with. They enforce it also partly out of cowardice, because to question the PC commandments is to come face-to-face with the choices  men must necessarily make if they’re to become free.
The same people will support–or at least not oppose–every legally sanctioned encroachment on our liberties because they’ve been conditioned to equate laws with security. It’s not even a conscious tradeoff any more.
The great submissive herd necessary for world government has already been created. and short of a worldwide catastrophic event nothing in my lifetime or yours is going to turn the juggernaut around.
And you know what? It’s all our own work. We did it to ourselves out of our own laziness and apathy and an idiot belief in the essential goodness of Man.

‘CANBERRA – A victory for Opposition Leader Tony Abbott in next week’s election could see a shift in the emphasis of Australian foreign policy away from the United Nations and other international institutions, with implications for the Pacific.
…….Abbott has spoken of the importance of the “Anglosphere” of English-speaking nations, and of Australia’s role in safeguarding western values in the region…’

‘Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani
The fate of the 43-year-old Iranian woman sentenced to death by stoning took a sinister turn yesterday when she appeared on Iranian state television to confess to her “crimes”. Her lawyer fears she will now be executed imminently, probably hung by the neck until she is dead.

We’ve heard nothing from Germaine Greer, nothing from Gloria Steinem, nothing from Jane Fonda, nothing from Naomi Wolf, nothing from Clare Short, nothing from Harriet Harmen…’

A bit sporty, that…..

Ol’ Remus has some words of wisdom for you.

From a comment over at NZ Conservative regarding the proposed mosque at Ground Zero:

“..Those opposing construction are only pushing Muslims further away. Their attitude is counter-productive, and quite frankly, childish.”
UPDATE: I should make it clear that the comments come not from NZ Conservative’s eminently sensible contributors, but from commenters under the post.

“…The Left firmly believes in magic. If Barack Obama fails, they’ll find another magician. One younger, handsomer, smarter, more charismatic. Because however abjectly a magician fails, the magic itself must be true. And so, with better music perhaps, in cooler cadences maybe, but in meanings as old as Babylon the same old spells will be incanted…”
