Trying to find out why comments were turned off on Gantt’s post. (thanks for the heads-up, Darin)
UPDATE: I just re-did the post, and now comments are enabled but that doesn’t solve the mystery. We won’t know until Gantt puts up a test post.

‘…For today, I want refer to “movements” for the “rights of the indigenous.” Having served and visited extensively in Central and South American countries with large “indigenous” populations, I can freely state that the region’s “indigenous” cultures largely ceased to exist hundreds of years ago thanks largely to European brutality and diseases. “Indigenous” culture today means rural poverty. Calling to protect “indigenous culture” really means seeking to preserve rural poverty; to keep people poor, sick, illiterate, and isolated from the great and small wonders of our age. It means helping condemn them to half lives consumed with superstition, disease, and of watching their puny children struggle to live past the age of five. It’s a call to keep certain people as either an ethnic curio on the shelf for the enjoyment of European and North American anthropologists or, equally vile, as exploitable pawns for the use of political activists..’
The DiploMad 2.0

Even in that cesspit, the stench of her is noticeable

‘A new Gallup poll finds 72 percent of Americans feel big government poses a greater threat to the United States in the future than big business or big labor, a record high since the polling outfit began asking the question nearly 50 years ago.’

‘..The gap in test scores between America and other countries goes away when broken down by race. White American students top those of most European countries. Asian students come out ahead of them. It’s not that Asian students somehow have access to better schools. Often they go to the same urban multicultural schools that are “failing” everyone else. The difference is that they are determined to succeed because their parents want them to. ..’
Daniel Greenfield

at the heart of the EUSSR:
‘GERMAN Chancellor Angela Merkel says European Union members must be open to treaty changes to strengthen joint economic governance in the 28-nation bloc.
…French President Francois Hollande has rejected changing EU treaties, pushing for more pro-growth policies and less austerity within the existing European charters.
Other EU members are also sceptical about renegotiating treaties, which may require referendums, amid rising euroscepticism in many countries…’
Oh dear no, there mustn’t be referenda–the peasants may reject the glorious Utopian future that’s been mapped out for them by their superiors.

 There’s a lot of cat hatred in NZ (ably assisted by media morons, recycling the rubbish spouted by eco-tards). So it was amusing to see this item:
‘The misguided logic of a Raglan cat killer is having disastrous and unintended consequences for a community’s local birdlife, an ecologist says.
….Landcare Research wildlife ecologist John Innes said it was possible the removal of cats in an urban area could have a net bad outcome for wildlife.
”Ship rats are the tree climbing rat that decimates most native birds in New Zealand and they’re a major item of cat diet.”…’
UPDATE: The consequences of trying to “manage” nature…or, the cure can be worse than the complaint.
‘The Destruction of Macquarie Island’

FOR THIS
This is not justice. Who is this “Judge” Roberts?
UPDATE: Perhaps it’s Judge Allan Roberts?  If so, he has form for this kind of thing.

 ‘ON its 100th day in power the Abbott government shot itself in the foot.
Appointing avowed leftist Natasha Stott Despoja to a bogus job as Australia’s Global Ambassador for Women and Girls is a betrayal of conservatives on every level. It’s stupid, cowardly and ultimately self-defeating….’
Australians rejected the Labor government and elected the alternative with an emphatic majority. They didn’t do that in order to be served more of the same and this appointment is just one of several which look like cowardly appeasement of the left. Much more of this and Tony Abbott will deservedly be a one-term PM.
“let he that hath no stomach for this fight, depart..”

And contains an item which the Australian media apparently thought contained too much icky reality to mention:
‘Australian sniper using a Barrett M82A1 50 cal – There has been a new record set for the longest kill shot in Afghanistan. GPS aids supposedly “measured the distance the bullet traveled at 2815 meters”, beating the previous record of 2475 meters for a confirmed kill. The shot was taken by a commando sniper team in Helmand province, Afghanistan. (1.75 miles)’
