‘A banned advert depicting Chairman Mao performing the Gangnam Style dance has the potential to insult 120,000 Chinese immigrants living in Auckland, a local community leader says.
…”The public image of their leaders is most important in their attitudes and their culture and the way they look at their own government.
“So, especially the new immigrants, many of them would be offended.”

Forgive the Kiwis, Chinese immigrants–for some weird reason they think it’s perfectly ok to take the piss out of a homicidal maniac who killed upwards of 70 million of his own people. An advertisement poking fun at him is plainly culturally insensitive.  (here’s a suggestion, though–if you revere mass murderers so much, why not piss off back to China?)

Leeches

this is how it works
Hard times are never for the ruling bureaucrat class. Taxpayer’s hard-earned money (and the years of their lives spent earning it) are of no consequence to these effing parasites.
It amazes me–for all the rhetoric about “belt tightening” and “prioritizing spending”, there’s a class which is all but immune to such things, yet people rarely get angry about having years of their lives stolen to pay for this. It’s all very well getting annoyed about money being wasted on welfare cheats, but what about those who enable and encourage it? Not only that, the same people tie us down with ever-increasing petty regulations to the point where we, the people who earn the money, have to grovel as supplicants before shiny arsed little nazis in order to simply live our lives.
If the whole thing collapses, these bastards will have nowhere to run, despite their “I was only following orders” and “sorry, that’s the policy” excuses.

‘Pushing Us Ever Closer to the Edge’

‘…There are numerous examples to choose from, but we’d suggest that you just pick up a book about the Balkans. That describes it quite well. Or you could pick the Revolutionary War, but it’s obvious to us by now that you really couldn’t care less about that particular war which birthed a Constitution that you swore, impatiently, an oath to during a lot of pomp and circumstance, wishing that they’d just get it over with already so you could get on to taking bribes and sodomizing underage interns….’       the rest of ita great rant. And a warning.

…..any way the wind blows

The finest essay on the subject, ever.

300a‘..Even when all others forget their tale, the warriors remember. Even when they are called peacekeepers and turned into an army of clowns for the satisfaction of their political masters. The armies may decay, but warriors still remain in their cracks, on their edges—men who are not wanted, but are needed because they are the only ones who can do the grim work and do it well.  They may only be a hundredth of an army, or a thousandth. A fraction of a fraction. But without them there is no army, only empty uniforms…’
Daniel Greenfield,    ‘The Warrior’s Tale’
