Lesson 1:
Of course, it's a bit misleading to talk of the "European street." The "Arab street," after all, refers to the poorly dressed and unwashed throngs of semi-literate, anti-American, and Jew-hating Arab fanatics who daily burn American and Israeli flags along the boulevards of Cairo and Beirut.
The "European street," meanwhile, tends to be better dressed.
"From boxes to boxes" is the chilling slogan of a fundamentalist Algerian underground organization known as the Armed Islamic Group that has stepped up its attacks against civilians recently to discourage people from voting in the May 30 general elections.
Their graphically conveyed message is: Anyone who is tempted to drop a vote in the electoral boxes is likely to end up in another kind of box -- a coffin. The group is blamed for the killing of 31 Algerians in a remote village in the province of Tiyarat, 60 miles west of the capital, Algiers. On April 24, gunmen killed 16 people, and two days earlier, four Algerians were also killed. Both incidents were attributed to the group, though none of the attacks is publicly acknowledged. The latest shooting raised to 460 the number of people killed in similar attacks since the beginning of the current year.
Gee, maybe this is where the Palestine Authority learned about democracy and freedom of speech?
If Saudi Arabia had a Star Trek, do you think they’d put a Jewish Chekov at the helm?
Indeed. Of course the phrase "If Saudi Arabia had a Star Trek," captures much of the problem all by itself, doesn't it?
More Saudi bashing concerning that fat prince's visit to Texas from Debbie:
The Crown Prince threatens President Bush—on his home turf—that if the U.S. doesn’t change its policy toward Israel, the U.S. will suffer greatly. Rather than take this threat seriously, and kick out this royal ingrate—whose country still exists today by virtue of our boys fighting their Gulf War--the Saudi Prince’s wish is granted. Voila! Suddenly, Israel—under pressure from President Bush—agrees to let homicide-bombing-commander-in-chief Yasser Arafat roam the universe.
Do I have to repeat my feelings towards this nest of terrorists and Islamic crazies? What arrogance, that bogus prince should be grateful he has a country at all!
Now, I don't like Le Pen. Never have. In fact, if fascists are simply undesirable political people in the Orwell tradition, than he is most definitely a fascist in my book. Then again, by that standard, so are Jesse Jackson, Alec Baldwin, Rosie O'Donnell, Crown Prince Abdullah, Susan Sarandon, Carson Daly, Aaron Sorkin, Margaret Cho, Jar-Jar Binks, and the duck from the AFLAC commercials, just to name a few.
A Texan, a Frenchman and an Israeli are on a plane flying over the Pacific Ocean when the engines stop functioning. The plane crash lands on a Pacific Island and the 3 are immediately captured by a tribe of cannibals and taken to their village.
The Chief tells the 3 captives that these cannibals are civilized and they have a custom on their island that before they eat anyone, they grant that person his or her last wishes, no matter what they are.
He asks the Texan, "What is your last wish?"
The Texan replies: "I want a 2 inch thick steak with all the trimmings, Cajun fries and a case of Bud." The Chief motions to some of his tribesmen who immediately run into the jungle and come back with the steak, the fries and the beer. The Texan eats his meal and he is thrown in
the pot.
The Frenchman is asked: "What is your last wish?"
He replies: "I'd like a case of Dom Perignon and I'd also like a big plate of escargots cooked in the French manner." The Chief motions to his tribesmen who immediately rush off into the jungle
and bring back everything the Frenchman asked for. He eats and drinks his fill, and he is then thrown in the pot.
The Chief turns to the Israeli and asks, "And what is your wish?"
The Israeli looks the Chief squarely in the eyes and replies: "I want you to kick me in the behind as hard as you can." The Chief is bewildered and asks the Israeli again, only to receive the same reply. "I want you to kick me in the behind as hard as you can." The Chief shrugs his shoulders, asks the Israeli to turn around, and kicks him as hard as he can. With that, the Israeli pulls out a gun and kills the Chief and all of the other cannibals.
The Texan and the Frenchman get out of the pot, look at the Israeli and say: "If you had that gun why didn't you do anything sooner?" The Israeli replies: "What? And risk being condemned by the UN, EU and the State Department for 'overreacting' to insufficient provocation?"
They certainly know how to present themselves as victims (when they are the aggressors), exploit the multi-cultural sympathies of the brain dead pc types (who would be the first victims if the Islamicist won) and expropriate the language of the Jewish experience (like former Nazi allies, Jew haters, and propaganda disseminators calling the Jews Nazis or manufacturing lies for the gullible about non-existent genocide. Just like some garbage head rapper talking about genocide in America when he means animals like himself killing each other.)
But this case takes the cake. Daniel Pipes, the canary in the coal mine of American stupidity, spoke at University of Washington at Seattle. There he was pestered by the usual Islamic idiots who tried to play the race card, which they learned from the "brothers". But the old man spoke on and put the whining bullies in their place. But one quote, from an Islamicist, really caught my attention. Consider this quote:
'One Ahmed Amr, an editor of Nilemedia.com, said he was planning to sue the [Henry M.] Jackson School of International Studies for bringing Pipes to the university. "They shouldn't have let him speak. He's the Farrakhan of the Jewish Taliban." '
So he's bashing Pipes because he says Pipes is anti-Islam. Yet he uses two great examples of Islamic fascism and stupidity to compare him to. Case Closed!
A novel by Mark Goldblatt that satirizes black rap culture is out, and no one has noticed. He's a little non-plussed here, he expected to make some waves. But it promises to be a good one, in this companion article he sketches his worthy goal:
As far as I can tell, I'm being whiteballed.
Which is a shame. Not just for me (though of course for me especially) but for African Americans. For, to return to my original point about the effect of satire, no one nowadays needs to be satirized more than African Americans. If not for the French — who've retired all such trophies — African Americans would currently rank as the most hypocritical, most paranoid, most pretentious group of people on the planet. Quite an accomplishment since, as late as the mid-1960's, their cultural legacy set them on a par with the ancient Israelites. Less that half a century ago, African Americans — like the Jews of the Old Testament — were emerging from centuries of enslavement and subjugation with a culture that was stirring in its resilience, rich in its subtleties and epic in its scope.
.....African-American political leaders are, nowadays, with rare exceptions, a ragtag crew of racial arsonists, conspiracy mongers and corporate shakedown artists. Their intellectual leaders are, with rare exceptions, purveyors of absurd mythologies of perpetual victimization — and the exceptions, in this case, are without exception shunned by their own communities. And their artistic leaders, with no exceptions whatsoever, have turned from themes of the persistence and universality of human nature, even in the face of prolonged oppression, to a fetishistic worship of the idea of "blackness" — a connotation for which there is, in reality, no coherent denotation.
........So what is conscious rap?
Essentially, it's a noxious brew of racist delusions skimmed from the diverse streams of black separatist rhetoric, Afrocentric propagandizing, Nation of Islam theology and a kind of Cliff Notes Marxism. According to conscious rapper Ras Kass, "My whole point at the end of the day is AmeriKKKa was made by white men for white men. . . . This sh — is made for rich elite, by the rich elite. So they can exploit the f*** outta y'all and me. So until we get man enough and educated enough to say, 'Let's just break this sh** off,' we ain't sh**!"
I'm ordering it today! 2 local libraries in the Albany area have it, both suburban, and one of them has reserved me a copy.
