Indeed they are a long time passing!
Gonads, balls, spunk, or simply courage - call it what you will, there is simply little of it/them to be found amongst our leaders today. One is bound to ask: Do they have a gonad between them? Do they have a ball to call their own?
The fact of the matter is clear: We Europeans, we Westerners, are being sold down the river, we are being cheated out of our rightful heritage. Our civilization is being given away for the want of courage to stand up to the enemies within and the enemies without.
If things go on like this, then our culture and civilization will be swamped by an alien, pseudo-religious, geopolitical system, clothed as it is in a deity, determined to take over the West in its entirety. It should be clear to all by now that Islam is on a mission to Islamize the West. Muslims make no bones about the fact that they want to do this, and they make no secret of the fact that they wish to introduce Shari’ah law. The question now is simple: Are we going to let them do this to our wonderful civilization, the best civilization known to man till now, are we going to let them snuff out the candle of creative life only for the people of Europe and the West to become stultified? Are we going to let them take us back in time to the Dark Ages ?
The political establishment in the West, through lack of will, determination, and courage, is behaving very badly. Nary a politician amongst them is brave enough to call a halt to the nonsense that you and I see on a day-to-day basis. It is surely time for a new order. If the enormity of the task ahead of them is too much for them, then maybe it is time for a new breed of politicians to be elected into office, a breed that will have the courage and determination to put this process into reverse.
The way things are going in France, for example, we might yet see another ‘Flight to Varennes’ by the ruling élite. La fuite à Varennes (21 juin 1791) proved a turning point in French history. It was the time when the then King of France, King Louis XVI and his wife, Marie Antoinette, the queen, and their children were forced to flee, forced to do a runner in the middle of the night to try and save their skins! Is history going to repeat itself? It often does. The same goes for the rest of the European countries, too. For far too long, European politics has been dominated by the left and centre-left coalitions. We can see here in the UK what damage left-wing politicians can do to the nation. Tony Blair’s ‘New Labour’ government has done enormous, perhaps irreparable, damage to the fabric of our nation. He has destroyed much that we, the British, have always held so dear.
Is the problem, perhaps, caused by the fact that so many of today’s politicians, dreamers to a man, are children of the 60s and 70s, children of the age of “flower power”, children of the hippy generation? Is this why they lack the courage and determination to solve these intractable problems we now face? If this is so, then it is truly time for a change at the top. We need a new breed of politicians, willing and able to take the difficult decisions sorely necessary to get a grip on this problem facing us, a problem which is not going to go away simply by ignoring its existence. And remember this: The longer this problem is allowed to go on unsolved, the harder it will become to solve, and the tougher will be the decisions necessary to solve it.
The political élite, however, had better grasp one fact, and quickly: We, the people, are growing weary of the excesses of the Muslim community. We are becoming satiated by their over-the-top ideas, their backwardness, their obstreperousness, their chutzpah, their demands, and their, well, shall we say, boldness! Muslims lose sight of one main fact: The majority merely tolerates them. They are not truly wanted. They would do well to note that tolerance has its limits.
All opprobrium cannot be directed solely at the political establishment. The Church, too, must shoulder much of the blame for the disintegration of Western civilization, for it truly is undermining all that is best in our superior civilization. Only this morning, it has come to light that the Church backs legal rights for parents who live in sin! How dare the Church play around with the teachings of the Gospel in this disgraceful manner? I speak not as a born-again Christian, for a born-again Christian I am surely not. I speak as one who can see the folly of the Church leaders. The liberals in the Church, of whom the current Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr Rowan Williams, is one, are doing their utmost to destroy the institution of marriage – the cornerstone of any civilized society.
In a very interesting article recently published in the L A Times, it was mooted that Liberal Christianity is paying for its sins. No truer words were spoken! Now, it has come to our attention that the Episcopal Church in Massachusetts is proposing to dump the concept of marriage altogether! Episcopal Diocese may quit marriages (Same-sex debate drives Mass plan).
If the Church leaders really think that they are going to be able to fill the emptying pews this way, then they are sadly delusional. The more liberal the Church becomes, the emptier the church pews will be! If you need proof of this, witness the strength of Islam. That 'religion' hasn’t changed in 1400-plus years. Yet, despite this, its strength is growing apace.
I would be the last person on earth to punish homosexuals and people “living in sin”. But to say that a modern, secular, Western society is to tolerate these things, does not mean that the Church should be imprudent enough to sanction what is totally against the teachings of Jesus Christ. The teachings of Jesus Christ, the Christian’s Lord, Saviour and Redeemer, are, after all, the raison d’être of the Church itself. They are the keystone of its existence. Take away that keystone, and the Church will surely come a-tumbling down! Just give it a little more time. That’s all!
The weaker the politicians show themselves to be, and the weaker the Church becomes, the stronger Islam will become in the West by contrast. Just like Iran has been strengthened by the weakening of Iraq, so Islam will be strengthened by the weakening of the Church, and by the weakening of Western traditions. We are doing nothing other than playing into Muslims’ hands. Ladies and gentlemen, we are destroying ourselves from within! Western civilization is under attack from two fronts: From Islam and from the establishment figures who purport to lead us!
We need to put a stop to all this guff! We need to start acting like responsible people. Aren’t these leaders, after all is said and done, paid to be responsible? Aren’t they there to give ordinary folks a lead? Aren’t they there to show us all the way? Isn’t this why they are paid the fancy, fat salaries they receive?
Leadership is never an easy task. At a time when all our institutions are under attack, the rôle of leadership becomes particularly onerous. Leadership at such a time calls for gonads! Dear leaders! Go find them! And quickly! Time is not on your side. Never forget this: The people, once they start getting angry, anger ever more quickly. Once they see all they hold dear being taken away, they have a nasty habit of turning on the so-called leaders that allowed it all to happen. History is replete with examples of revolution. Take heed! We may be living in the year 2006, not the year 1789, but people haven’t changed that much. They still have a propensity to take revenge when all they have held so dear is lost. The leaders might have become namby-pamby; the people have not.

Mark,
This Blogger has eaten my two attempts at comments. I haven't the heart to try a third.
Mark,
Here's an article that should give you hope, and maybe even make you smile:
Drive for multi-faith Britain deepens rifts, says Church
I can't resist adding a few of the words from the song to which the title of this blog article alludes:
Where have all the flowers gone?
Long time passing
Where have all the flowers gone?
Long time ago
Where have all the flowers gone?...
When will we ever learn?
When will we ever learn?
Mark, you are so right in this spot-on essay! Our leaders are surely following the path of appeasement, which, if not stemmed, will take us back to the Dark Ages. And while there may be terrorist attacks and outright warfare on the battlefield, the worst is the insidious Islamification of our Western societies.
People are catching on, despite the pc and multiculti. People are getting very angry. At this rate, things are going to get very, very ugly. Can't our leaders see that?
Heather,
That's an outstanding link! Quick excerpt: [D]ivisions between communities have been deepened by the Government's "schizophrenic" approach to tackling multiculturalism. While trying to encourage interfaith relations, it has actually given "privileged attention" to the Islamic faith and Muslim communities.
Excellent post Mark. You speak to how I feel, in so many ways. I want to know where all the cowboys have gone? When did things change- when it comes to national security and the survival of this country as we know it? Has Politcal correctness taken over, or have the radical Muslims taken over? I can't tell anymore.
It is downright sickening...this league of nations manner of thinking must cease, as with the tolerant attitude and "modern" thinking.
Mark - Our Western politicians do indeed lack gonads there in Europe and here in the U.S.
We have up-and-coming fun and games from two fronts: Islamification and the Mexification. Our short-sighted elite fail understand that the kinds of changes brought about by bringing in millions of third-world peasants, many of which are indigenous peoples that weren't assimilated in Mexico or the Central American countries from which they emanate making the assimilation into American culture unlikely.
Then there's the growing influence of the 1-2% Muslim population in the United States that, like Muslims everywhere, are attempting to impose Shari'a norms on the non-Muslim majority. They are working hard during Ramadan by hosting "Ramadan Sharing Dinners" and interfaith conferences and castigatigating politicians for linking Islam and terrorism among others.
The influence is enormous for such a small population due to infilitration into elite circles at universities, government and bureaucracy.
Happy days are here again...
Eleanor is so correct: We have up-and-coming fun and games from two fronts: Islamification and the Mexification.
I'll also add that many Latinos are converting to Islam. There are minarets peeking up througn the Amazon jungle--or so I've heard.
"Where have all the gonads gone”…where indeed?
“Ambition has driven many men to be false, to have one thought locked up in the breast, with another ready upon the tongue”. With these words, the Roman historian Sallust, captures the mendacious mindset of our lords and masters.
Well, given that our political elites have been busy following an agenda, an agenda which they know is unacceptable to their general populations, so that they must hide the true nature of that agenda behind a veil of lies, omissions, and specious insinuations, it is hardly surprising really. The grand socialist experiment has run its course, and the events of history have proved beyond rational contention that as an instrument of “social justice”, it is an abject failure on so many fronts; from its destruction of economic fortune, to its stultifying impact upon human endeavor, all the way to its ultimate promotion of the divine right of the approved set of political jobsworths, to positions of power and authority over all of us mere mortals. A position that has been consistently abused by almost all of those who have ascended to that power A position which they would clearly like to make permanent. Their endless promulgation of new legislation, designed to insulate them from opposition, beggars belief to a rational mind, but by controlling the dialogue, through outright manipulation within the media, to intimidation by means of manipulation within the discourse of language, they manage to keep the debate locked in the frames of reference to suit their own advantage.
Now however, their control of the debate is beginning to show fractures. Events around the world are coming too thick and fast for them to deflect, people are waking up to the reality of what awaits the unwary. That the love and peace and wishful thinking of the flower children of the sixties, which mindset, subverted by Marxism, has become the prevailing orthodoxy, is nothing more than a deluded drugged fools fantasy. Now we will witness the true nature of the beast as the monster exercises greater and greater irrationality in defense of the indefensible. Do not be too disheartened by this, as it can be played to our advantage. For if the powers that now hold authority over us, were to manage to gain an accommodation with our enemies, we would see a calmness return to the political discourse, while the Islamic fundamentalists would restrain their excessive exuberance, and the mass of the people would go back to sleep; and then the danger of the demographics comes into play. This will not happen for several reasons, first off, the ruling elite aren’t smart enough to figure it out properly, let alone implement a coherent plan of action, and that’s all before they even get to the actual business of making that plan work; ask yourself, when has ZaNuLabour ever, ever done anything that actually worked, the only thing they are good at is breaking things, and simply getting in the way of all the productive people….they are the ultimate parasites, and that takes some doing as all those squatters from the religion of peace, are doing a pretty good job of single handedly destroying the welfare state by bankrupting the system, not necessarily a bad thing, for out of the ashes may arise something more beneficial and rational than the status quo of today’s moral turpitude. Then of course there’s the aspirations of the deluded Islamists, to finally conquer their old enemy Europe, (it ain’t gonna happen). No, it is to our advantage for things to get worse, for it awakens those souls still aslumber. Besides, as events and edicts show, the powers that be have already decided upon their course of action, and that is the suppression of dissenting opinion (to the prevailing political view), which just places a lid on the boiling pot, and as any fool knows, a covered pot boils faster, and more furiously. So then we shall awake as angry bears; and when we awake, we will unite, then god help our enemies, for as we have shown in the past, there is nothing more devastating than democratic nations determined on a course of war.
Now I hear you say, “what about all those who oppose this war”, well apart from a few people of strong pacifist principles, (very few really), the majority are either denialists or political opportunists, both of whom will be overridden by events. Yes these times of waiting are trying on the nerves, but until the consensus turns the only rational answer to the real threat is, patience, and must be our watchword, together with getting the word out, after all, most people can see the danger, they are just lost as to what they can do. We must associate in order to become united. Most of you who read this blog, know the nature and designs of our enemy, most of you have been disabused of your illusions as to the feasibility of reasoned discourse with the Islamic agenda, most of you are no longer swayed by the sweet seductive words of peace and brotherhood, most of you know that war is coming.
There are gonads out there, they can be found in all types of people, in all sorts of places; they simply have been driven out of the political discourse by the pc brigades. Do not worry as they will step up to the plate when events overtake today’s ruling elites. The kettle is on the boil and with no one around who knows how to dampen the flames, it will continue to boil. Say goodbye socialism, can’t say it was nice to know you, but you’ve picked your side in this fight, and it’s the wrong one once again. That will not be forgotten.
Always remember that the concept of freedom, which goes all the way back to the ancient Greek’s, is still a powerful motivator in Western civilization. Even the Spartans, no great lovers of democratic principles, chose death before dishonor and servitude. Our histories are littered with the blood and sacrifice of untold numbers in the cause of our freedom. The resolution of the Western spirit is still there, it has however been submerged under the stifling cloak of pc dogma and flower power utopian dreams, dreams which events will soon wash away.
I don’t wish for war, but I will not deny reality for the sake of mere convenience, and the desire to escape my fear; for life is not worth living if it is only to be as a slave. Besides, who amongst you would wish your children to be sold into bondage?
We are constantly reminded of just how many Muslims there are in this world, well, I’d like to point out that there are quite a few of us also, and as the 300 Spartans at Thermopylae and the US and British forces in Iraq, and all those histories in between have amply demonstrated, they will exact a terrible toll upon the forces of our enemies. No, we just have to have the determination to resolve this issue to its finality, and then the deed will be done, and yes, we will be able to live with the guilt as countless generations have done before, for there is No guilt when one fights and kills in defense of one’s own family; and Islam has given us no choice in the matter.
While we in the West have lost our anchor in our religious beliefs, we have allowed a vacuum to open up in the human need of a spiritual aspect of our existence. Look around you at all the New Age flummery which has suddenly sprouted up. The human soul needs something more than mere existence to believe in, consumerism just doesn’t cut it. The Holy Religion of Marx thought that it could fill this position if the people could just be detached from their superstitious belief in a divinity; well that one didn’t work out too well; and now along comes Islam, the religion of the ignorant, a robbers tale, told to impressionable drifters, a belief in the sanctity of bloodlust, signifying nothing but destruction and death. And yes, I have read the Qur'an, and it is as malignant as many say it is. Christianity may have had its failings, but those were all brought about, by the misuse and subversion of the faith to serve man’s own venal ends. Islam on the other hand, is venal to the core, as it seeks to submerge man’s existence under an intolerant tyranny. One of the few useful things Jean Jacques Rousseau the Swiss philosopher said was … “that man is born free, but everywhere he is in chains”, sadly that is largely true of the human mind, but would find its ultimate expression under the rule of Islam. We in the West are born free men and women, always remember that, we will fight for that freedom, let no man step on us.
Is my view of Islam intolerant, yes, for I am a freeman, and if the only way Islam thinks that it can subdue me is by the sword, then let them try, I for one will fight, nor will I be deflected in my fight by sly words and slippery promises of better things, nor even the condemnation of my so-called betters, I am just not that gullible, and neither are most of the people in the West. Our political elites had better get with the program or get out of the way, for there is no way we will surrender. If it is to be a bloodbath, so be it, and oh yeah, thanks so much for all your efforts on behalf of our enemies, you balless wonders.
Mark, like you, I see that our political elites have become detached from their electorates, they have become so used to dictating their own agenda in the face of little or no opposition, that it has become second nature to them to assume that they know the right of everything, and so act accordingly. But those days are coming to an end, for if events continue to unfold at such an alarming pace, the illusion of control and the chance of peaceful resolution will be shattered, and with it the position of those elites will be laid bare, and so they will be stripped of power and authority and rudely tossed aside, as is their just deserts.
Governments of Western democracies are instituted to perform primary functions as to the welfare and security of those societies. To stand for justice and the protection of the innocent, to give a society order and cohesion by maintaining a broad alliance of often conflicting opinions and aspirations, to maintain an ordered polity; this is the social contract. For too long, many governments in the West, have been toying with the idea of social engineering, with concomitant disastrous results. Due to bad planning and organization, brought about by utopian daydreamers, and with their tepid response to Islam’s preposterous demands they have exposed themselves to their own populations as weak and ineffectual, and totally lacking in the one department to which all governments must adhere, the defense of their own societies. They have broken the social contract.
For too long, Western European governments have indulged their fantasies under the umbrella of American military might; they have ignored their own primary responsibility, and they are now cruelly exposed for that folly, and what is more, without a clue as to how they should go about resolving the danger that such folly has engendered. But they can of course do one thing, they can blame America for their pathetic predicament. What a bunch of balless tossers, I mean, what’s the point? It simply becomes a eunuchs existence, and that is the perfect analogy for our own political elites.
This does not mean that the only reaction to Islamic demands needed to be war, but it does mean that firm resolution and a steadfast position should have been the order of the day from the start, just as soon as these preposterous demands upon free speech and Western secular institutions were initiated. An endless stream of accommodations does not satisfy a voracious appetite, it only encourages its want for more. We here all know that appeasement never works, sadly, the utopians don‘t. Irresolution only means one of two ends is possible, either surrender or fight…. I chose fight.
We must associate.
Mark, once again, thanks for the opportunity to express my sentiments upon this matter.
In fact, should they reach for their lunchpacks, they may find that the mice have nibbled away what little they had.
Hmm! :-)
There is a school of Oriental martial arts that develops inner power by gradually lifting heavier and heavier weights attached to the "nuts."

I see you haven't lost your sense of humour, Quisabelle! :-)
George Mason (pbuh):
I am so sorry you have encountered such difficulties. Are you sure you wouldn't like to try for a third time, in the belief that it will be third time lucky for you? Your comments are always so insightful. Please try again to share your thoughts with us.
Heather:
Welcome back. I hope your husband is feeling much, much better now.
Yes, that article was an excellent one. It is unusual for the Church to speak out with such force.
The Call To Sense:
... do they [the Marxists] believe they will somehow be spared when the Jihad Revolution comes in full force?
Well, they'd have to be naïve to believe that, wouldn't they? But you know, they usually are that naïve, so I wouldn't bet on it.
Spanish Diplomat:
Welcome to this forum!
Although it might be less relevant to the UK than to other countries, I believe now the Catholic Church has got a very promising leadership in the person of Benedict XVI. His Ratisbone speach cannot be thought to be a coincidence.
I believe that too. Did you read my essays on the Pope?
His writings reveal a great depth.
The man is a scholar of the highest order. I have great respect for him, and affection, too.
However, we still have to see how much time he finally has to carry out his ministry and, also, how much leadership he is able to exert in Western societies in the field of the moral re-awakening.
I wish him much luck with that. He has a colossal task ahead of him. And in the twilight of his life, too.
The clergy has to accept the liberties laymen enjoy and that Western societies are not going back to the old times. But, at the same time, I believe the Church, whatever its denomination, does still have a very important role to play in leading Western societies towards self-esteem and strength against Islam.
So do I. I wish the Anglican church would show some spine in this regard. They show little. Though the link that Heather has given us shows that there might be some rumblings there, somewhere.
This does not ignore the fact we also need elected politicians: Pope John Paul II made an enormous contribution to the end of Communism. But he was not alone: there were Walesa, Thatcher, Reagan and others.
We do. We need them all - politicians and church people - to work together.
We need them again: religious leaders, politicans, other who can together help Westerners to rediscover our roots and all the things we should be proud of.
Westerners do need to rediscover their roots. We have so much to be proud of.
And as for our own individual contribution to this endevour, it will depend our own individual situations. But I believe we should be able to contribute our effort among our peers and the people we can reach in general.
I agree with you here, too. We all need to contribute in whichever way we can. As Tesco says: "Every little bit helps!"
Always:
Mark, you are so right in this spot-on essay! Our leaders are surely following the path of appeasement, which, if not stemmed, will take us back to the Dark Ages.
Appeasement certainly will take us back to the Dark Ages
And while there may be terrorist attacks and outright warfare on the battlefield, the worst is the insidious Islamification of our Western societies.
Yes, and it is "insidious", too! Damn it all!
People are catching on, despite the pc and multiculti. People are getting very angry. At this rate, things are going to get very, very ugly. Can't our leaders see that?
Things are going to get very, very ugly. All we have to do is just wait a while longer.
Eleanor is so correct: We have up-and-coming fun and games from two fronts: Islamification and the Mexification.
Why your president is allowing all this "Mexification" beats me!
I'll also add that many Latinos are converting to Islam.
Now this is a very troubling development indeed. What the hell is the matter with those Mexicans who convert?
There are minarets peeking up througn the Amazon jungle--or so I've heard.
Now that's a good joke! Or is it a joke at all?
Raven:
Welcome!
Excellent post Mark. You speak to how I feel, in so many ways.

Eleanor:
Mark - Our Western politicians do indeed lack gonads there in Europe and here in the U.S.
Gonads are very scarce these days! :-)

Our short-sighted elite fail understand that the kinds of changes brought about by bringing in millions of third-world peasants, many of which are indigenous peoples that weren't assimilated in Mexico or the Central American countries from which they emanate making the assimilation into American culture unlikely.
It is very, very dangerous to change the racial mix of a poeple as quickly as they are trying to do it. Very dangerous indeed; especially when people of a diametrically-different religion are brought into the country. This is asking for trouble. Our leaders are naïve in the extreme if they think they will be able to pull this off without causing civil violence.
Then there's the growing influence of the 1-2% Muslim population in the United States that, like Muslims everywhere, are attempting to impose Shari'a norms on the non-Muslim majority. They are working hard during Ramadan by hosting "Ramadan Sharing Dinners" and interfaith conferences and castigatigating politicians for linking Islam and terrorism among others.
Yes, and we are letting them.
The influence is enormous for such a small population due to infilitration into elite circles at universities, government and bureaucracy.
Yes, doesn't it beggar belief?
Happy days are here again...
Aren't they though!
Though I don't usually do this, I am going to post a very insightful comment I received this evening by email from an anonymous person. This is it:
I'm not at all sure this situation is down to no guts politicians, imo, I think the politicians know exactly what they are doing and are fully supportive of the mass migration programme and it's attendant myriad of supportive legislation.
This programme is the logical manifestation of progressive post modern politics, namely, the handing over of white civilisation to the third world.

Thank you Mark. I sometimes think that you and I are suitable foils for one and other, at least, you are for me; if you'll pardon the presumption.

Thank you, Mark, for taking the trouble to actually answer me and the other participants in this blog.
I always try and answer people's comments. I answer the comments as soon as time permits.
Yes, I read your postings on the Pope and about everything else. I keep reading this blog since 1 or 2 months ago, though I can only occasionally contribute something.
I am so glad you like the blog. I appreciate that you have started contributing. Do continue to contribute as and when you can. I am sure I speak for all when I say we enjoy your contributions.

Hello all!
Does this comments list perhaps confirm what I very much hope is happenning in this country (UK) - that more people are waking up to the reality of the world today and are beginning to throw off the shackles of political correctness, the tool of the pseudo-marxism that is so prevailing among the elite of our society?

Our pathetically impotent -- no balls -- politicians had better get some strength and courage soon; otherwise we should throw the bastards out. I, for one, do not want to have people integrated or assimilated into this wonderful civilization if they want to destroy it, take it back to the 7th century, impose Shariah law, force me to convert to their cookoo religion or be beheaded, take away free speech, put ignorant, benighted imams in charge of ANYTHING, cut off the hands and feet of those guilty of minor offenses, subjugate women to the most subsurvient and denigrating roles -- beneath those of common animals, do 'honor killings', kill gays, stop the consumption of alcohol and the eating of pork, and on and on and on. When will our weak, incompetent, impotent, and cowardly politicians wake up and stop this madness? It better be soon or we should not just throw them out, but instead, take them to the steps of the Capitol and send them on to their greater reward. Perhaps they can get in on the carnal Muslim paradise and have the virgins and little boys for sexual delight. HOW UTTERLY DISGUSTING AND UNCIVILIZED. And by the way, what rational, civilized human being could call this a REAL religion?

Thanks leelion, when stirred from my slumbers, and the muse strikes I can rabbit on quite a bit, and Mark seems to have an effective knack in that regard. That, and an enormous contempt for those useless corrupt parasites, who climb the ladders of power to assume the leadership, all the while deluding themselves that they actually have those quality required to be real leaders; opportunistic nematodes to a man!
And one other point: far too many of them are closet Marxists, most, without even realizing it, for they are but a product of our academic institutions, which are riddled with that putrid philosophy. A philosophy so bathed in blood, so steep in abject failure, it simply beggars the mind as to how any compassionate soul could have anything but revulsion for such a sordid lie. But such is the effect of that wizard Antonnio Gramsci, that the tentacles of mendacity have burrowed deep within the psyche of the human spirit, poisoning everywhere and everything it touches. Remember, PostModernism is the bastard child of Marxism.
Oh dear, I'm off on a rant again, sorry about that. Anyway, smile, 'cause we're going to win this one, whether by dialogue or through war, we are going to win it! We will just have to get used to the idea of getting our hands dirty.
Now I must be off to fix my bloody truck once again.
&iclUSIP:
Our pathetically impotent -- no balls -- politicians had better get some strength and courage soon; otherwise we should throw the bastards out.
The politicians have no balls, but a story has broken this morning that a British general, General Sir Richard Dannatt, has shown the courage we need in our leaders. This is the calibre of man we need to lead us out of this morass.
I, for one, do not want to have people integrated or assimilated into this wonderful civilization if they want to destroy it, take it back to the 7th century, impose Shariah law, force me to convert to their cookoo religion or be beheaded, take away free speech, put ignorant, benighted imams in charge of ANYTHING, cut off the hands and feet of those guilty of minor offenses, subjugate women to the most subsurvient and denigrating roles -- beneath those of common animals, do 'honor killings', kill gays, stop the consumption of alcohol and the eating of pork, and on and on and on.
You and me both!
When will our weak, incompetent, impotent, and cowardly politicians wake up and stop this madness? It better be soon or we should not just throw them out, but instead, take them to the steps of the Capitol and send them on to their greater reward. Perhaps they can get in on the carnal Muslim paradise and have the virgins and little boys for sexual delight. HOW UTTERLY DISGUSTING AND UNCIVILIZED. And by the way, what rational, civilized human being could call this a REAL religion?
The 'leaders' may yet be unceremoniously thrown out of office. The right is gaining ground across Europe. In Blegium, there is strong support for not even recognizing Islam as a bona fide religion! So perhaps we should take some heart. Is the dragon awakening from his slumbers, I wonder?
JudahQ:
Er-hmm, the gonads are still there - a pair for each of us, usually. It is just that they are being used under the influence of postmodernism, a very serious intoxicant that stifles the very life force of our western society.
Indeed! However can the human mind conceive all this nonsense?
There Mark, what mischief have I wrought in disagreeing with your fine essay right from the out-set? But yes, it is a fine essay - yet another.
Thank you.
I believe you are looking for another Churchill. Unfortunately, I think something did happen to the gonads there, one of his great grandsons getting a little adverse media attention all very recently in Australia. But that doesn't really reflect on Sir Winston himself although I do wonder if these days we don't need someone with more than the standard number of gonads. What I mean is that we don't just have Islam to fight back, but we have the deconstructionism of our own culture as well - a double whammy.
Yes, he's going have to be one tough nut.
Do you think Sir Winston could take on this assignment and do as good a job as he did 60+ years ago? He took on Nazism and dealt it a massive blow, but this is Islam PLUS postmodernism, and I'm figuring we need leaders with Churchillian talents and more. And those are going to be just so much harder to find.
They are going to be terribly hard to find. But please see my link to General Sir Richard Dannatt above. Now such a man as he really does show promise.
It would certainly help if the church would shake off it's liberal faction and become far bolder in dealing with the challenges to our Judeo-Christian heritage and faith. There is signs of that happening with the Archbishop of Canterbury hopping off the fence recently on the side of "inclusiveness is not a Christian value" and straightening up a bit. It does need spine - or gonads - to stand up against the deconstruction at the hands of postmodernism.
Yes, but the Archbishop needs to do a hell of a lot more hopping off the fence than he has been doing.
We are needing both church and state to work hand-in-hand here to do more than what Churchill had to do back then. Pope Benedict led the way, and let's hope some of the others stop drinking the poison of postmodernism and wake up to stand with him before it is too late.
As you know, I have a great deal of respect and affection for Pope Benedict XVI, even though I am not a Roman Catholic. He really gets it. But those so-called leaders should have backed him to the hilt when he made his Regensburg address.
Yep, it is so nice to see such a long list of comments here, and to your previous essays. At least the troops are stirring even although the generals keep snoring on.
Yes, people are beginning to stir, I think. And judging from today's article in the Daily Mail, the generals are, too. At least one of them is.

J.A.R. and all,
There are balls aplenty it would seem!
keep on truckin J.A. Richard!
Thank you quisabelle.
Given that they haven't had much use around here of late, I figured, might as well put them to use for some higher, more productive purpose; besides, I already have two kids.
Now, having just finished cleaning up after fixing my truck, I must be off to work. Catch you later.
Mark:
They are not truly wanted. They would do well to note that tolerance has its limits.
Let us hope so. Let us hope so.
Are we going to let them do this to our wonderful civilization, the best civilization known to man till now, are we going to let them snuff out the candle of creative life only for the people of Europe and the West to become stultified? Are we going to let them take us back in time to the Dark Ages ?
No. No. No.
I cannot post a coherent comment at the moment. Why? Because while idly googling around as one does, wondering what people one once knew are up to now, I found ten minutes ago that the kind, wise and erudite man who "took me under his wing" when I had to learn almost everything about mining geology in a week (way back in 1981 in Zimbabwe) was brutally murdered two and a half years ago in that benighted country.
Given what I know about that country, it is at least possible that this murder was sponsored by a corrupt and brutal government. It needs a strong dose of Western Civilisation indeed.
None of this makes sense to me. I am just angry. Really angry. But this is what happens when brutal powers take over.
Be warned!
By the way, Leonard was a Black African. It seems he "knew too much". He had a fine mind, and was a good man. May he rest in peace.
Sorry for rambling and over-personal post.
The denial has become the absurd. All this floundering around by our governments, not able to focus on the problem, chasing shadows. In the US, I believe Romney, Gov of Mass. is our best hope. The guy actually reads. In England, do any of the politicians read Mad Mel, or Robert Spencer, or Bruce Bawer? Islam is poison, a slow acting poison, killing off the West.

That's what politicians (and other 'leaders') do when they can't solve the main issue of the day. They fiddle, or chase shadows as you say, while the burning issue continues to burn.

A reading politician seems to be a rare beast these days.

Excuse me! Haven't you left SOMEBODY IMPORTANT out there?
Although my book came out in November 2003, I had been saying what would happen at least TWENTY YEARS before that! If you don't mind my blowing my own trumpet for once, how many people can say that?

BIG POISON, and more poison it will spread if something isn't done about it quickly, too.
By the way, John, did you receive my email to you the other day?
