Congrats
"Tom
Paine" over at Silent Running is
to become an Aussie. Now, certain rules have to be followed for our
citizen-to-be, like no more smug mockery every time the All-Blacks win
the Rugby.

He had a dream
Pity
his successors made it turn to shit.
FORTY
years ago today, Martin Luther King delivered possibly the most
powerful speech in American politics since Abraham Lincoln defined what
the United States stood for in his Gettysburg and Second Inaugural addresses
of 1863 and 1864.
The century separating
the speeches by the two men, both of whom were to be murdered by racists,
was a shameful time for all Americans who believed in the promise of
the Declaration of Independence, "that all men are created equal".
It was why King
described his dream of hope "that my four little children will
one day live in a nation where they will be judged not by the colour
of their skin but the content of their character".
Yet now, the "civil
rights" movement is lead by worthless racist gangsters like Jesse
Jackson and Al Sharpton, who's entire agenda is judging people by the
color of their skin. The sad part is, so many people don't see the hypocrisy.

Slamming
the French
Fine
piece in Frontpage
on the humanitarian disaster in France.
As the numbers
of heat deaths climb, a final figure of close to 20,000 is being seen
as not unrealistic – in other words, a humanitarian disaster.
Meanwhile, the
death toll in Guantanamo Bay, which the French are in the habit of condemning
with dainty disgust as barbaric, sweltering, fetid and inhuman, remains
remarkably stable: None.
Indeed.
