We owe Donald Trump our Gratitude For His attack on Political Correctness

I know... Donald Trump is an obnoxious boor. He’s offensive. He’s brash. He’s undignified.  Whether you know it  or want to acknowledge it, Donald Trump has rendered a great service to America and  it’s body politic by taking on the greatest threat to our liberties we have ever faced. Political correctness.

You heard me. Political Correctness is the most dangerous enemy the republic has ever faced, and I take the view that unless the dragon of PC is slain now, once and for all, it may be too late to save the republic and the values on which it was founded.  Unless PC is put on trial, found guilty and immediately hanged, it will not be possible to take on the other pressing issues which must be addressed, and that is because PC is what has driven us to inertia.

Political Correctness, in addition to being an assault on the human spirit and human dignity, it is also the antithesis of reality.  When a society operates from political correctness it treats the world and its issues not as they ARE, but as how one might wish them to be.  When one’s opponents play by Realpolitik, while  one works from a world view that denies reality and lies to itself about what really is, that society commits suicide. 

 

Enter Donald J. Trump, a brash billionaire from New York whose mouth knows no limits.  No sooner had he entered the race he was dismissed by the “experts” and talking heads as “going nowhere”.  8 months later he has dominated almost every pol since he entered the race, and though these polls were dismissed along the way, he finds himself today the prohibitive favourite to win the Republican Presidential nomination.

 

The political establishment, understandably hates him, and has pulled out all the stops to derail his candidacy, and no matter what they have tried thus far, it has not only failed , but backfired.   Others in the traditional voting pool fear him as well and find his style and vocabulary disturbing and offensive.  There is no swaying the establishment, as they are under direct threat of having their comfortable inside-the-beltway world smashed into rubble.  They can’t bear the thought of the lavish lifestyles many enjoy at the expense of  lobbyists of K street and the oligarchs of Wall Street and Silicon Valley wining and dining them and contributing to their re-election funds in exchange for policies which do not always serve the best interests of the people and workers of the country.  they are already defeated. They’ve been exposed for what they are, and the emperor has no clothes.

It is to the latter group, the Republican voters who haven’t grasped the nature of what is going on out there,  who have to an extent been cowed by PC   that I address this.   I am not asking that you switch over from the candidates you are currently supporting, but to argue that Donald J. Trump has done all of us a great service,  and that should he win the nomination that there should be no hesitation in getting behind his candidacy.  For one thing, he has exposed the establishment as being exactly what they accuse him of: Swindlers and con artists.  They have, on behalf of the donor classes (in both parties) fleeced the American taxpayers of Trillions of dollars, and have , by their policies which benefit mainly the donor class, closed the door of opportunity to the youth. 
If America continues on the path this elite compact have put her on, the Baby boomer generation will have , for the first time left America much worse off than any other generation has left it for the next.
Donald Trump has also challenged political correctness  head-on.  We may wince at some of his words and references, but we should rejoice in the fact that he is getting away with it.  If almost anyone else said what he has been saying, and how he has been saying it,  we would be accused of “micro-aggressions” or even outright bigotry, and would face some very real consequences.  Many working Americans have been let go from their jobs, or perhaps worse, sent to “diversity and sensitivity training” where they are brainwashed, browbeaten or both into submission.  Their potential for advancement in the company or government department after that is nil.
Any other Republican candidate who would dare speak like that would have their career ended within the hour, with the establishment of their own party drumming them out and then abjectly apologizing to whatever organized special interest identity group whined about the “micro aggression”.
Donald Trump is the guy who gets away with saying these things.  In my life I have noticed, whether in my own home growing up, at school, or in the workplace (in the days before PC ruled)  that there are some people who can say anything, and pepper their language with some very colourful colloquialisms and no one says anything, while others will earn a death stare or worse if they drop one F-bomb.
He is succeeding because he reflects what many people have been thinking and are afraid to say, and his lashing out with salty language is quite often representative of the anger people feel toward the representatives who they elected to change things, specifically to stop Obama’s PC driven insanity, who instead have succumbed to the PC life of Washington.

 

Many Americans are watching as the government sits by idly as millions of illegal immigrants cross the border and settle in the land, while nothing is done about it, and precious little by the establishment politicians, who are afraid to say anything lest they be labelled bigots, xenophobes and racists.

 

Then there is CAIR (Council on American-Islamic relations) who skilfully beat us with the cudgel of political correctness, so that we sit in silence as the scourge of Sharia law takes hold gradually throughout western society.

Lets not forget the ACLU and the “Freedom From religion Foundation” who use PC and the courts (which have also been poisoned by PC themselves) to undermine Christians  constitutional rights to free speech.

 

Donald Trump has said things that have served these groups and their sympathizers notice that no more will they be allowed to push us around. Moreover he has not been afraid to NAME some of the outside enemies we face, specifically radical Islam,  and state clearly that their goal is to destroy us and that we need to defend ourselves against them by any means necessary, AND he has named the fact that CHRISTIANS are the prime victims of these Jihadis, and has pledged to protect Christians and their values both abroad and at home.

Some Christians here question his personal commitment to Christianity, and it is a legitimate concern given some of his lifestyle choices  and Biblical illiteracy.   That being said, we have plenty of politicians in Washington now who can quote scripture chapter and verse, and yet have done little more than talk.  I ask you to consider looking back in history, to the Roman Empire no less, when a man named Constantine rose to become Roman Emperor.  Constantine himself did not actually make a final conversion to Christianity until very late in is life, yet he was a constant defender of Christianity not because of his own personal commitment, as much as the example he had seen of Christians and the benefits their way of life brought society as a whole. It was under Constantine that the Church was able to fully come out from underground after centuries of persecution.   I want to ask you to consider this as a possible motivation for Donald Trump’s epiphany where Christianity is concerned.
There was never a time when most citizens were firmly rooted in the faith, and deeply committed. However until the last 50 years or so,  most people regardless of the depth of their commitment to Christ Himself and His Church, recognized and acknowledged the value of the Judeo-Christian heritage and the benefits of adhering to those principles, and the state supported , rather than attacked them.

Donald Trump, as President could set the example of a changed attitude toward Christian values that could bring improvement to society.

Moreover when Christian values were upheld and regarded as something to aspire to, we enjoyed greater freedom and security. Not because of the letter of the law, but the results of people voluntarily adhering to one degree or another to the very principles which guided the writing of the constitution, which was written by the way, by a group of men with differing commitments to Christianity, ranging from Christians to deists to Unitarians and even agnostics, but all of whom recognized that these were the principles under which a free society could flourish. A free society cannot co-exist with political correctness. A free society can only flourish where free expression of ideas takes place,  and where people are free to agree to disagree, even loudly and without what some see as decorum, without the threat of someone using force of law, or the courts to silence another person or group.

All this to say that if Donald Trump recognizes this, as I believe he does, I would take what many see as his cultural Christianity over someone who talks a god game, but whose actions and record show acquiescence to PC when the rubber meets the road.

 

 

We need to be thankful that Donald trump has put himself out there, and enabled us to have a debate that would have been silenced by the limits imposed by political correctness were he and his brash persona not here.   So let’s stop bashing Donald Trump on his manners, and let the voters speak and decide whether they are ready to throw off the yoke of political correctness that has been  and will continue to be the downfall of western civilization, unless it is stopped now.

 

 

Honour Killings: We'd Better Understand

This girl is in hiding, terrified that she will be a victim of a so-called "Honour Killing". In this video she broke down saying that we don't undrstand. We had better understand that radical Islam does mandate (not permit, but REQUIRES) such extreme action for apostasy, and is often carried out for other things, such as adultery, or even minor matters which bring shame to the family.
Her parents want her returned to them, but she knows they will kill her if she is sent back. She also points out how widespread the practice really is. Here is a recent case that took place in Canada.
We need to wake up here in thewest. As more and more Muslims come to our countries, the demands grow for Sharia law to be permitted alongside our own law in matters pertaining to "internal Muslim affairs". Eventually it will be the law of the land, if concessiona are made. I would notbe surprised if many so-called honour Killings" are covered up by simply telling the authorities that "she has gone back to (insert Islamic country of your choice) to be married. We'll let Fathima Rifqa Bary tell her story and make her plea. The world needs to know, not only that "honour killings take place here, but be made aware of the many that take place every single day in Islamic countries, many of which go unreported, since in those countries where sharia is applied, women are considered second class persons , if that.

Too Bad Krauthammer is not one of Bush's Advisors

Charles Krauthammer, the Montreal-born pundit for the Washington Post has come up with a list of sanctions that would show Putin that the west actually has teeth, and will stand by its allies against naked aggression.

This is a must-read in Washington, and a host of European capitals.

"3. Dissolve the G-8. Putin's dictatorial presence long made it a farce but no one wanted to upset the bear by expelling it. No need to. The seven democracies simply withdraw. Then immediately announce the reconstitution of the original G-7."

And I'll add one more to his list: "5. Give Georgia and Ukraine immediate membership to NATO." Irreversible.

Edit:: Kicking Russia out of G8 needs to be permanent, or at least until such time as Russia changes its ways. If history is any indicator, that will be never.

What is Russia's End Game in Georgia, and What Can The West Do?

Until the day that Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin took control of Russia, I was optimistic about their future as a free coutry that would join the modern world. The moment Putin wrested power from the ailing Boris Yeltsin, however, my optimism began to fade.

Putin is a KGB man. That qualification alone is evidence that he is an utterly ruthless man who will squash any opposition to his plans ruthlessly, without a shred of guilt on his conscience, if he has one.

It is my view that Russia's ultimate goal is hegemony in the Middle east, and they believe that the road to that hegemony passes through Iran.

I have studied Rssian history, and one of their long standing goals has been year round, warm water southern ports. Iran provides them with this.

They had fought wars in the past forcomtrol over the Dardanelles so that their Black sea fleet and merchant ships could have year round ports. It was a band aid solution.

Then came the collapse and dismemberment of the USSR. Suddenly, their major ports such as Odessa and Sebastopol found themselves in Ukraine. Once Putin took control, did it take long for them to start meddling in Ukrainian elections to the point of poisoning the pro-western candidate Yushchenko who was certain to defeat the pro-Russian sock puppet?

Let's (I know it's painful, but bear with me) revisit the Carter presidency. Does anyone think that the soviet invasion of Afghanistan was an end in and of itself, or was it ultimately to be a jumping off point in the drive for southern ports, possibly in Iran or Pakistan? Seriously what else can Afghanistan offer them?

So here we are today. Should Russian troops overrun Georgia as they likely will, they will be right on the border of oil-rich Azerbaijan and the Baku oilfields that were of such strategic importance in WWII. It would not take much to push right through to Iran, which would become feasible if the Islamo-psycho regime there does attack Israel and Israel retaliates.... Putin will just go in and "pick up the pieces".

The man may be the personification of evil, but he is not stupid. Forget Medvedev. He's just a sock puppet. Putin sees multiple angles here that all benefit Russia in every way:

1) He restores national honour and pride (not to mention great power status) to the country after what has been seen by many Russians as years of humiliation. This he can achieve by subjugating Georgia, while the west does next to nothing. If Russia contrls that ppeline, suddenly western Europe must revise its foreign policy.

2)By rolling into Georgia, the message to Azerbaijan is to quickly change course and adopt a pro-Moscow policy. Essentially become, like Lukashenko's Belorus, part of the new Soviet Union, independent in name only. Russia gets control over Baku, and a jump off point into Iran.

3)Russia knows that its greatest threat is China. China's overheating economy needs oil badly. Russia already has a good supply of oil, but China may eventually have to look at ways it can dominate the Middle east, so If Russia, by egging on Iran's mullahs to attack israel, ensures an israeli retaliation which weakens or cripples iran, they can move in. Thus Russia gets Control over Middle east oil supplies, cutting off China, who they fear might want to eventually flex their Superpower muscle and retake lands the Russians took centuries ago. Russia, by Controlling Iran, will also force realignment of the other middle eastern countries, not to mention former Soviet Socialist Republics, who will have to consider following Putin's marching orders in terms of oil and foreign policy.Finally Putin Assures his place in Russian history alongside, if not ahead of Peter and Catherine, as the man who finally got them their southern ports.

Now... What can be done?

Putin is nothing more than what Yuri Andropov would have been..... Reagan would have had a very tough opponent in Andropov, and whoever succeeds GeorgeW. Bush is going to have his hands full with this current piece of KGB work. The only difference between Putin and his Soviet predecessors is that he is not an ideologue, but rather a very pragmatic and extreme nationalist. What can the U.S. do? very little to help Georgia, given its geography. If they chose, Russia could overrun them in a week. The world community is going to have show some fortitude. I think GWB and Hu Jintao (another bloodthirsty dictator) need to make common cause against this reptile Putin. China has alot at stake in this too, assuming that my argument suggesting Putin desires hegemony of the Middle East through domination, if not outright annexation of Iran , is true, and I believe it is. Abkazia and south Ossetia are probably lost, not that they wanted to be part of Georgia in the first place.
The situation can be salvaged only if a deal could be struck that will see Georgia proper remain independent under its current government, but that means sending a strong message to Big Bad Vlad...but how? How about Chinese troops building up along the Russian border near outer Manchuria? After all that was once Chinese territory.... Meanwhile NATO must move to admit Ukraine . The Baltic States who know that Russia has them in her sights need to revisit with Poland & Ukraine the idea of a loosely knit confederation, with common military and foreign policy as had been discussed seriously at various times in history, most recently in the brief years of independence they enjoyed after WWI. Had that venture succeeded, history may have been very different. Such arangements would make it very clear to Putin that Russian expansionism will be met with resistance, not appeasement.
Resolve is the only language the men in the Kremlin understand.

China to Crack Down on Web Porn

The Internet is a great thing insofar as it has increased to power of the average person in the world to speak their mind and express a wide range of ideas, and given many the opportunity for self-employment and entrepreneurship that were heretofore unaffordable, and has made it simple for people at great distances to communicate as if they were just next door, the Internet has its dark side too. Online casinos and Internet Porn have proliferated on the same worldwide web, and are causing untold harm to families, and indeed , anybody who becomes addicted to either/or.

However, China is cracking down on it, and has even arrested, and sentenced the largest Chinese purveyor of online smut to life imprisonment.

While I believe that ideas should be freely debated and left to stand or fall on their own merits, I do strongly support censorship of pronography and online casinos. They do not contribute in any way to the free expression of ideas. all they do is create false, exploitive images to tickle fantasies, which lead to the destruction of marriages and families.

Libertarians will pounce all over me for supporting this kind of censorship, but I submit that both pornography and gambling are addictive behaviours, and that once a threshold is crossed, it no longer remains a simple choice of viewing it or not.It becomes a compulsion which eventually brings about irresponsible behaviour that causes harm to others, who had no choice in the matter.

For more detailed information on the harm pornography causes, and if one is addicted, how to overcome the addiction I an reccomend the two following websites:
1- True Knights

2- Be Broken

I would hope that other governments will crack down just as hard on pornmeisters, and online casinos.

A Day in the Life of a Thai Sex Trade Worker

It's not often that we see a mainstream news source tell the truth about prostitution. More often then not we hear them bleating about how we should make it legal, so the girls can be examined by doctors, and so the government can tax the industry...ad nauseum. Even if it was legal, what good would the doctor's exam do them, once they had contracted a disease like AIDS? And given the nature of the business, the wormn would be taxed by government, and the pimps would still find a way to squeeze them more. But I digress.

Here, though, the BBC has written an article from a former Thai Prostitute's perspective, and she speaks quite frankly about treated as an object, the humiliation and the desperation that causes it.

We learn about how she was gradually lured into it and how she got out. There is no glamour. Only shame. It is also revealing that once she got ouf it, she was clear that though the money was better as a prostitute, she is much better off now.

Prostitution is exploitation of women. No one gets into it by free choice. The pimps recruit the girls when they're down and out. There is almost always drugs & alcohol involved, after all who could do that sort of thing straight?

Pimps, should be locked up, and the key thrown away (Dangerous offenders). For human excrement like that, it should be one strike,and you're out.

Johns should be "outed" and fined.If they were to share in the humiliation of the whole deal, perhaps they will find the strength to resist temptation.

If more men would just think about their own sisters and daughters, and ask themselves if they would want drunk horny men all over them, and if they knew how little the women like it... and consequently them, maybe they'd think twice.

"Yes, It Is Legalized Murder"...

...Sighs the Russian abortionist at the end of this video, after attempting to rationalize what she does.

This video is difficult to watch, and by way of warning, features some partial nudity in the form of some female genitalia during the labour stage of the abortion. The woman is obviously in severe pain. There are no pictures of aborted children. It's a six minute segment of what was supposed to have been a 54 minute long documentary on abortion in Russia. They stopped production because of lack of financing.

While the conditions in Russian clinics are somewhat less well-appointed than those over here, one thing that is not different is that in spite of the glamour that the culture ascribes to casual, recreational sex, that the real picture of the consequences is not pretty at all. Abortion is all about suffering. The child suffers as it is being destroyed, and the women suffer physical pain as is shown here, not to mention the mental anguish that will plague them for a lifetime. And, surprisingly, it appears that even some abortionists suffer.

The Russian abortionists , unlike their North American counterparts, who tend to glorify it as a woman's reproductive "rights", acknowledge that their profession is repugnant, and that what they do, despite their justifications, amounts to the murder of another human being.

It is estimated that 80% of all Russian women have had abortions, and that the average woman has between 2 and 10 over their lifetime. You do the math.The numbers are staggering.
