An Open Letter To @elonmusk

For reasons that will soon become apparent, I got to thinking about the verb “dehumanize”. I realized I didn’t know what it meant. So, I turned to the dictionary. Here’s Merriam-Webster on the subject: de·hu·man·izetransitive verbto deprive (someone or something) of human qualities, personality, or dignitysuch as. : to subject (someone, such as a prisoner)…

The European Sickness

Well, it appears that these days Europe is not just welcoming Islam. It is bending over and bowing to Islam … the latest case in point: BERLIN (AP) — The European Court of Human Rights says an Austrian woman’s conviction for calling the prophet of Islam a pedophile didn’t breach her freedom of speech. The…

Can The Truth Be “Racist”?

I’ve been involved in a most curious discussion that brought up some important issues. An online acquaintance of mine, very well educated, a UK citizen working in the Netherlands, claimed that foreigners with Residence Permits should be allowed to vote in local, not national but local, elections where they are residing. That seemed crazy to…

Too Good To Not Quote

Here’s a Letter to the Editor regarding some African students attending Oxford in England. They have been demanding that the statue of Cecil Rhodes at Oriel College be taken down on the grounds that Rhodes was a racist … which he was … Dear Scrotty Students, Cecil Rhodes’s generous bequest has contributed greatly to the comfort…

Trademarked Hate Speech

I was overjoyed to see that the Asian-American band called “The Slants” has heard from a unanimous Supreme Court that their band name is legal. They had been denied the right to use their band name based on a trademark law called the Lanham Act. It was a part of the Lanham Act that the…

Bright Line Distinctions

Well, the Eurotrash section of the German Parliament, in league with the social justice warriors at the German Justice Ministry, are proposing that Facebook and other social networking sites be fined FIFTY MEGABUCKS if they don’t remove all so-called “hate speech” from their websites. And how, you may ask, can either we or the social media…

Orthodox Hate Speech

OK, I’ve come up with the brilliant plan to get rid of the Muslim threat to Europe, and it’s a whizzer. It is a continuation of my two previous posts, The Problem With Islam and The Forever Wars. If you haven’t read them, let me suggest that you do, as they contain the evidence for issues…

Paying the Dane-Geld

Back around the year 1000 in England, the Vikings raiding the English coast on their longships were often called “Danes”, because some of them were from Denmark. And like most folks, these  Vikings were not dumb. Early on they just raided, fought battles. But after while they wised up. They turned it into your basic…

Forbidden Words

You might have heard this story. There was a poor benighted fool in Europe the other day, in one of those countries that’s only about half the size you think it is. He said something very wrong, criminally wrong, forbidden words for which he was arrested, tried, and convicted. At the time he was giving a…
