NASA AND GLOBAL WARMING

NASA has just said that it does not know whether the earth is warming up or not and has just launched a satellite to help them check. If the world�s most heavily-funded scientific agency still does not know whether or not global warming is real, why are stupid socialist governments everywhere impoverishing their countries to "stop" global warming?

Thank goodness for the realism of America's President Bush and Australia's Prime Minister John Howard! Predictably, the soppy socialist governments of Canada and New Zealand have just signed up for the risible �Kyoto� treaty.

FEMINISM IN MUSLIM PAKISTAN

This story should impress feminists a lot. I wonder why feminist activists are all so silent about the Islamic cockroaches? If it really was just women that they wanted to help, one would think that they would all be up in arms in support of President Bush. That they are not shows just what nasty and dishonest ideologues they are. Their only real aim is to disrupt their own society. They latch on to the cause of women as just another means of pursuing that aim. Like most Western men, I have protective feelings towards women and that is the main reason why Islam has always disgusted me.

MORE CHARMING ISLAMIC PRINCIPLES

"...Music corrupts the minds of our youth. There's no difference between music and opium. Both create lethargy in different ways. If you want your country to be independent, then ban music. Music is treason to our nation and to our youth..."

"...Allah did not create man so that he could have fun. The aim of creation was for mankind to be put to the test through hardship and prayer. An Islamic regime must be serious in every field. There are no jokes in Islam. There is no humor in Islam. There is no fun in Islam. There can be no fun and joy in Whatever is serious..."

GOOD STUFF

Lots of good stuff on NewsMax and Jewish Word Review at the moment. Try �Searching for Mr Good Nazi� if you are wondering where all those good Muslims are
or
�Republicans and civil Rights� if you suspect that there is a double standard for the Left and the Right when it comes to civil rights.

A GOOD SEND-UP

Atheists are victimized by believers: The National Secular Society of Britain complained that Colin Powell and President Bush have been disrespectful of atheism. A Colorado man wrote a letter to the Washington Times saying that atheists are targeted by vandals and falsely accused of conducting human sacrifices. "So many of us are in the closet," lamented one spokesman at the Godless Americans rally last month in Washington, D.C.

CENSORSHIP?

In the wake of the Gutnick vs. Dow Jones defamation case there was a threat that some internet sites might bar some of their material to readers overseas. It seems pretty crazy but I seem to have come across an example of that. On 14th I posted a link to this article about W.F. Buckley only to find a few hours later that clicking the link got you nowhere. I presumed that the article had been censored because some of its statements were rather extreme. But I gather that the article can still be accessed by US readers. Strange. Anyway, I have now obtained a copy of the article and have posted it here. As I made clear at the time, I disagree with much in the article but I disagree with censorship of any kind even more.

PHONY PACIFISTS

Britain�s famous CND (Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament) has finally shown its true colours. These �pacifists� are now trying to prevent the British government from taking part in a war on Iraq. Why would pacifists want to protect a murderous and genocidal dictator who would have any true pacifist for breakfast if he could? Might it be because Saddam is head of Iraq�s �Ba�ath SOCIALIST Party�?

Those who know their history will be less surprised at this turn of events. After all, Hitler was a pacifist in his youth (Kubizek, 1954).

A SERIOUS THINKER

Michael Jennings's blog is remarkable for its unremitting good sense. His account of his journey from youthful Leftism to conservatism is particularly interesting.
