“Not a lot of Muslims want to go to the trouble of chopping your head off, but when so many Western leaders have so little rattling around up there, they dont have to. And, as we know from the sob-sister Tsarnaev profiles, most of these excitable lads are perfectly affable, or at least no more than mildly alienated, until the day they set a hundred cars alight, or blow up a school boy, or decapitate some guy. And, if youre lucky, its not you they behead, or your kid they kill, or even your Honda Civic they light up. And so life goes on, and its all so mundane, in Simon Jenkinss word, that you barely notice when the Jewish school shuts up, and the gay bar, and the uncovered women no longer take a stroll too late in the day, and the publishing house that gets sent the manuscript for the next Satanic Verses decides its not worth the trouble. . . . But dont worry, theyll never defeat our free speech and our way of life.
That is a most telling summary sentence from this excellent article by Mark Steyn. Another source (beside NRO) titled the same column "Bystanders in Their Own Fate" - which I believe is more descriptive of once-Great Britain's self-induced impotence. The invading Mohammedans can smell the fear and weakness in their European hosts - who lack the courage to fight back and who even subsidize their own destruction with generous welfare income.
we are next with the whimp “low or no information” gen following us...they don’t want to get their feelings hurt by the real ugly news about their poor decisions in 2008 and 2012...not that any of us where given any good chices in either year...ad they will hum any tune they are told as they go marching someday into a homeland security compound just like the jews did in the 30s and 40s...cause you can’t tell them anything that they don’t already know and their parents are just CRAZY!

This precious young man....my heart aches for him and his loved ones.
Thanks for the link!
‘Well, you arent allowed to defend yourself,’
Myth, myth, myth.
God, I so f*cking tired of having to correct that myth here. For the millionth time, IT ISNT TRUE!.
And Kitty Genovese was British was she?. And the people of Boston all got together in a big posse and went Muzzie-huntin’ did they?.
Should people in Woolwich have done more?. Yes. But this macho posturing from America is getting tired.
I think I know what you're complaining about. Sometimes when I try to post printer friendly pages at National Review I get a bunch of html code for punctuation with it. I think it maybe browser or operating system dependent. I didn't see that this time from my end. When I do, I use the same URL that you used to make your link.
Also you are not allowed to defend your property with force. There is a mix of state laws here about that, but even in states without castle doctrine, there are lots of cases where people can defend their property with force.
Always glad to share, bookmark and use the data as you see fit. I’ve used it to victimise leftist trolls ha ha
GB has a higher rate because of classification. We have violent crimes which arent classed in other countries as violent crime. I have quoted a famous ‘boat weather’ offence which only the UK classes as violent crime.
The US has sixteen times the gun murder rate of the UK and four times the murder rate. Rape rates are actually about equal.
No guns?. Wrong. Havent you read the seven million previous posts where I have told people here about the UK gun laws?. I am a gun owner btw.
Not allowed to defend property?. Complete tosh. Not only is that not true (where did this US myth start?), I KNOW it to be untrue because I was myself the victim of a 2008 burglary and attack, where I used force to defend myself and my property, as well as three family members.
No offence, but this is the type of myth I have to correct almost daily on this site.
The same disease is rampant on both sides of the atlantic.
Ultimately, our self-righteous leaders' moral exhibitionism is more important to them than truth or justice.
Expressing worthless sentiments is easy. Our new morality favors that over actually doing something difficult, dangerous or truly unpopular.
Exactly my thoughts.
Why didn’t they tackle the SOB and pin him to the ground until the cops came?
Nope. A bunch of passive sheep, standing around tut-tutting while the animal went wild.
The best they could do was some woman giving him a good talking to!
Yeah, that’ll scare ‘em. They’ll think twice before they flay the British again!
Twice. And then they will set about cutting them to pieces, as they stand there with their knees shaking, soiling their pants. The Muslims will laugh, and wonder where the descendants of the Crusaders went to, because this gang of emasculated cattle couldn’t possibly be related.
And Kitty Genovese was British was she?. And the people of Boston all got together in a big posse and went Muzzie-huntin did they?.
Should people in Woolwich have done more?. Yes. But this macho posturing from America is getting tired.
Did that scene not remind you of the Eloi?
There are sections of America that are filled with these kinds of passive politically correct people who count only on the government to protect them. But if this scene had occurred in Texas or Oklahoma or any other Bastion of Americana, that Muzzie would have been down long before he was able to hack off the head of that soldier.
True Americans (what’s left of us) don’t wait for the police to save themselves or others.
Maybe America will become an Eloi society someday, but IMHO England and most of what was Western Europe is already there.
BTW, I am 1/4 Scot and 1/4 English ancestry. But I am an American. Unfortunately too many people in this Country are becoming European.
If you are a Freeper then you are most likely a true American, no matter where you were born or where you are living.
The people of Glasgow attacked Islamic terrorists and kicked the crap out of them. The people of Woolwich didnt.
So you cant say all British people are wimps.
Thanks for that link. That strange insertion of italics brought it all back to me. Fwiw. I, being in Canada purchased a new key board. Under "Caps Lock," it had in green lettering "Verr maj". I spent many hours silently cursing over the mess made. No amount of re entering it helped.
Now I may be wrong but..... I understand it is a "bilingual keyboard". The other language being French. Finally I went to Google. I had to go to Control Panel. Then to Clock. Language & Region. Having done that, I was given a choice of English (Canada) or English (United States. It was set at English (Canada) so I switched to English (United States)- No more problems, thank heavens.
I hope you do not mind this bit of a spiel, but I just had to try to shed light on what does sometimes appear on regular articles.
He said that we will never be at war with Islam. The most beautiful sound in the world is the muslim call to prayer.
See, these people pray a lot!! Up to 5 times a day. We have no clue what they pray about, though - Obama never told us.
In my area, we would have killed the perps before they murdered anyone
