The Highlanders are forever!
As for the Highlanders, well...
Harry Blackitt: Protestant, and fiercely proud of it.
Mrs. Blackitt: Hmm. Well, why do they have so many children?
Harry Blackitt: Because... every time they have sexual intercourse, they have to have a baby.
Mrs. Blackitt: But it's the same with us, Harry.
Harry Blackitt: What do you mean?
Mrs. Blackitt: Well, I mean, we've got two children, and we've had sexual intercourse twice.
Harry Blackitt: That's not the point. We could have it any time we wanted.
Mrs. Blackitt: Really?
Harry Blackitt: Oh, yes, and, what's more, because we don't believe in all that Papist claptrap, we can take precautions.
Mrs. Blackitt: What, you mean... lock the door?
Harry Blackitt: No, no. I mean, because we are members of the Protestant Reformed Church, which successfully challenged the autocratic power of the Papacy in the mid-sixteenth century, we can wear little rubber devices to prevent issue.
Mrs. Blackitt: What d'you mean?
Harry Blackitt: I could, if I wanted, have sexual intercourse with you...
Mrs. Blackitt: Oh, yes, Harry.
Harry Blackitt: ...and, by wearing a rubber sheath over my old feller, I could insure... that, when I came off, you would not be impregnated.
Mrs. Blackitt: Ooh.
Harry Blackitt: That's what being a Protestant's all about. That's why it's the church for me. That's why it's the church for anyone who respects the individual and the individual's right to decide for him or herself. When Martin Luther nailed his protest up to the church door in fifteen-seventeen, he may not have realised the full significance of what he was doing, but four hundred years later, thanks to him, my dear, I can wear whatever I want on my John Thomas... [sniff]
Great read.
Mrs. Thatcher was right.
L
He takes a long view on these issues, and he is right.
What does it matter if you call a place Scotland when there aren't enough Scots to support it?
We may be getting to a point where countries will be competing aggressively for fertile immigrants. "Come to Scotland we'll give you more goodies"
BTTT
Scots have lost because they no longer believe in God. The Brits disarmed the Scots at every opportunity, then disarmed themselves. The welfare state is God, and real men and strong women are few.
Sad to say but they have contributed to their own demise. A once proud and strong people are now just a bunch of wimps with their hands out. Enjoy your history Scotsmen, because that is all you have left.
This is exactly why that mullah demands that Scottish Catholic school be changed to an Islamic school. Muslims breeding in Scotland like rabbits.
Nothing!
Thanks for your ping, pokes.
Ireland has one of the freest economies, most robust economic growth, and not coincidentally, the highest Birth Rates in Europe.
After three or four years of reading this guy you think I'd get used to it, but Steyn still bowls me over with regularity. As usual he knocks it out of the park with the wit and wicked scarcasm we are all used to. I guess when the facts are on your side It's easy to be a killer smarta**. LONG LIVE STEYN!!
Thank you 3!
Miss Europe, may I introduce you to Senor Mexico?
There'll be a second round of Clearances soon - only the lairds will be speaking Arabic this time...
