‘..The night closes in. Read the surveys of what children know, what students in universities know. Approximately nothing. We have become wanton morons. As the intellectual shadows fall again, as literacy declines and minds grow dim in the new twilight, who will copy the parchments this time?
No longer are we a schooled people. Brash new peasants grin and peck at their iPods. Unknowing, incurious, they gaze at their screens and twiddle, twiddle. They will not preserve the works of five millenia. They cannot. They do not even know why…’

‘In upset victory, GOP political novice Bob Turner defeats Dem assemblyman David Weprin in N.Y. special House race to fill seat vacated by Rep. Anthony Weiner, as election result is seen as a referendum on Obama’s economic policies.
…The heavily Democratic district, which spans parts of Queens and Brooklyn, had never sent a Republican to the House.

So nowhere in this article is there mention of the role vast numbers of immigrants and refugees from third-world shitholes play in this outbreak. TB screening at the point of entry is non-existent and they’re not required to have been screened before travelling to Europe. Join the dots.

‘President Barack Obama is moving at a historic pace to try to diversify the nation’s federal judiciary: Nearly three of every four people he has gotten confirmed to the federal bench are women or minorities. He is the first president who hasn’t selected a majority of white males for lifetime judgeships…’

“We are four days away from fundamentally transforming America”

The beer’s cold, the braai fired up and the dobermann’s keeping an eye out for fresh leftard.

The headline: ‘Waka Cup paddler’s ribs broken in ‘cowardly’ attack’
‘A young woman went from the high of paddling a waka into Auckland Harbour for the start of the Rugby World Cup to the low of being in a hospital bed with broken ribs after being “set upon” by the crowd, an elder says.
…The actions of those who attacked were “cowardly” and showed alcohol and tikanga (custom) did not mix, Mr Pauhara said…’
I suspect Mr Pauhara is either a liar or very mistaken, because deeper into the article, we have this:

What it’s about is enslavement via bureaucrats and “democratically elected” politicians.  Redbaiter has the details.
