Whacking Permalink Archive 8-8-02 If you're
bored, you could try counting how many times the words "Bush Doctrine"
appears on USS Clueless. Thus sprach John Quiggin.....
Except of
course, for the very prominent mentions of this exact topic in the more
popular 'war blogs', Pejman,
Andrew
Sullivan and Right
Wing News. And this is just the stuff that I scan regularly. Overpaid imbecile George Monbiot has written another classic in The Guardian:
Trust me.
He actually wrote that. You need
to read
this. I was gonna give it a rest, but kicking Amir Butler in the genitals is just too much fun. It's always kinda amusing to hear this sorry homicide-bomber-loving twit whinge about the evils of American society, while studiously ignoring the comparisons to the paradise of the virtuous Islamic world. Today, for example, he links to this article which complains of Dubya turning the USA into an Orwellian hell. Just for fun, lets play a USA/IslamicFundieWorld comparison game..... Womens Rights USA: women can dress how they like, have a career (or not have one), criticise men freely, marry who they want (or not marry), have children (or not have them), go to school, travel where they please on their own, have their own money and generally be treated as equals. IslamicFundieWorld: wear what you like, so long as you're prepared to be beaten to death. You marry who you're told to marry, you've haven't got great educational or career prospects, can't travel without your husband, get raped and you'll be executed for adultery, disobey your husband and ye shall be killed. USA 1, IslamicFundieWorld 0 Politics USA: vote for any candidate you like, or put yourself up as a candidate, or join a party a choose a candidate. You can criticise any politician at any time for any reason. The penalty for this is being criticised by Ann Coulter. If a politican is unpopular, they can be voted out. Crimes by politicians can be (and are) investigated in public view. IslamicFundieWorld: it's great here - you don't ever have to vote for anybody! The rulers-chosen-by-allah know all. Criticise them, and you'll be tortured, imprisoned or shot. Probably all three. Politicians can steal what they like and kill who they like. They're not accountable to anyone. Free press? Who needs that? Isn't Allah looking after us all? All social ills can be blamed on the Jews and the USA. USA 2, IslamicFundieWorld 0 Culture USA: prosperous, free, well educated, technologically advanced. A massive media, music, literary and movie industry which freely caters for all tastes. You can say naughty things and watch naughty things. You can even criticise religion at will at not worship anything if you feel like it. IslamicFundieWorld: repressive, tyrannical, backward, brutal. Despite massive oil revenue it cannot claim a single significant scientific invention, or have university graduates in any area other than theology. Democracy is unknown, but tyrants are popular. Criticise the koran or islam, and it's a fatwah for you big boy. Oh, and if you're homosexual, expect a nice, big scimitar at the back of your neck. No free press, arts at the whim of fundamentalist mullahs, and generally a life which adds up to a very big dead end. Fear not, just direct your repressed, envy-fuelled rage into hatred of jews and americans, rather than actually getting off your medieval asses and doing something useful with your lives USA 3, IslamicFundieWorld 0 America
wins..... again....... I took the "political compass" test again. Here are my results........ Economic
Left/Right: 3.62 Funny, I took this test less than a year ago and got "0.00" on the economics question. Basically,
the test is a pile of ass, with many truly moronic questions. Sorry, I
don't see punishing criminals as "authoritarianism". Our own Hezbollah cheerleader - Amir Butler - asks a question:
Um, how about
"neanderthal band of kleptocratic fundamentalist tyrants".
