‘The Left is more than ruthless, they are evil.  They seek to rule, not by persuasion or honest debate, but by any means necessary.  They revel in slander, character assassination and violence.  They are steeped in hatred for all who oppose them. They seek to create and hold a monopoly on news media and editorial opinion; they support voter fraud and stolen elections; they prosecute political opponents on trumped-up charges in kangaroo courts.  They have raised “the politics of personal destruction” to a high art form.  Fairness, civility and common decency are unknown to them.  I do not see the American Left as fellow citizens, I see them as sworn enemies for whom I feel little or no commonality or fraternity.’

‘Australian officials have had to hire snake catchers to stop New Zealand flood rescuers being scared away by the deadly reptiles.
Emergency workers are taking special delight in teasing their Kiwi colleagues during the mammoth effort to rescue victims of the floods plaguing Queensland.
Rescue efforts have been complicated by the emergence of deadly brown snakes and other reptiles trying to take shelter near humans in dry areas.’    source

English Defence League: Mission Statement

Deborah Coddington has written a column in the NZ Herald titled ‘Defend property rights or become nation of serfs’

Read the comments section to see just how irredeemably socialist NZ has become. This comment alone will give you some idea of the flavour:
“…You can “own”a car or a house or a garden – nobody can “own” hundreds of thousands of acres
Property rights are given by the society you live in”

Go for it. (And if anybody has a good, simple bread recipe that doesn’t require eggs we’d love to see it)

Mark Steyn:
“…But here we are 20 minutes in, and full-scale Europeanization is already under way: Europeanized health care, Europeanized daycare, Europeanized college education, Europeanized climate-change policy… Obama’s pseudo-SOTU speech was America’s first State of the European Union address, in which the president deftly yoked the language of American exceptionalism to the cause of European statism. Apparently, nothing testifies to the American virtues of self-reliance, entrepreneurial energy and the can-do spirit like joining the vast army of robotic extras droning in unison, “The government needs to do more for me…”

‘….In the matter of self-serving, bitter, calculated cynicism, there wouldn’t seem to be much left to prove against the Times. Judging by what I’ve heard from my fellow conservatives, the issue is decided. The New York Times is a worthless, truthless, vicious institution. But I disagree. I think things are worse than that.
……If we’re going to discuss dark, paranoid corners of the Internet that have an unwholesome influence on our national life, there’s the New York Times online.’       The Times Loses It

‘…In conclusion, America today is in the throes of the greatest and direst transformation in its history. We are becoming an ideological state, a country with an official state ideology enforced by the power of the state. In “hate crimes” we now have people serving jail sentences for political thoughts. And the Congress is now moving to expand that category ever further. Affirmative action is part of it. The terror against anyone who dissents from Political Correctness on campus is part of it. It’s exactly what we have seen happen in Russia, in Germany, in Italy, in China, and now it’s coming here. And we don’t recognize it because we call it Political Correctness and laugh it off. My message today is that it’s not funny, it’s here, it’s growing and it will eventually destroy, as it seeks to destroy, everything that we have ever defined as our freedom and our culture.’

has a great post up: ‘The Enablers and the Tea Partiers’

‘Official government repression aimed at the English Defence League is far from over, but recent events have been breaking in the EDL’s direction. I mentioned a couple of days ago that the assault charge against EDL leader Tommy Robinson — which had been filed after his takedown of the jihad flag on Remembrance Day — was dropped.

Although it’s true that the Crown intends a new charge against Mr. Robinson on a Section Four public order offense, another member of the EDL has just had similar charges against him thrown out of court. The charges against Ronald Peterson were based on his carrying the flag of St. George and shouting out “EDL”. Judge Andrew Vickers threw out the case, saying that Mr. Peterson had a right to free speech — which puts the judge at odds with Her Majesty’s government and most of the rest of the British judiciary….’                  Gates of Vienna
