The rioters in France were careful to destroy property not worth fighting for - this time. I still believe those riots to be a testing raid.<BR/><BR/>The creation of a new mythos really is imperative for Western survival. We need an assimilative vision such as Saroyan wrote back in the '40's and '50's that encompasses the difficulties but worthiness of the transition to a new culture. Dragging in the corpse of the old culture, propping it up and having elected officials give it a warm hug is just sickening. "If the old ways were so damned good, what the hell are you doing here?" needs to be asked loudly and often.<BR/><BR/>The West is worth fighting for (contrary to the spineless tranzi/multicultis) and part of the fight is the development of that new assimilitive narrative. It exists - in the UK, in Cananda and in the US. It just hasn't been told.<BR/><BR/>I don't know if it actually exists in France or Germany. Frankly, I no longer care. I'll focus on frying fish closer to home for the time being.Rick Ballardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11082425215912372067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16821859.post-1134042929471917242005-12-08T04:55:00.000-07:002005-12-08T04:55:00.000-07:00Yes, but to convert to Islam requires effort and a...Yes, but to convert to Islam requires effort and a belief system, most of the people in the West who are not Christian simply are not interested in becoming involved with a religion that requires a change in lifestlye. <BR/><BR/>Our laziness and desire to please ourselves will save us.<BR/><BR/>As for the hostages.... what did these people think was going to happen to them when they went over there and started pandering to the socalled resistance?<BR/><BR/> I suppose now some baby killing Marines are expected to risk life and limb to rescue them?<BR/><BR/> I am sorry for them and I feel for their people back home but maybe the next time some of these silly people will stop and think that these guys are terrorists, they are not the French resistance or the Minute Men, they are not just trying to stop Cheney from stealing the oil....they are bad people who kill other people for the fun of it.<BR/><BR/>sheesh.

Society must always rely on some quantum of pretending; this is what faith demands of us an alternative to living in some "trustless" Darwinian reality.<BR/><BR/>So if we truly believe that the current pretenders are so corrupted and stupid that they will soon bring us to our doom, then we have to find a way of making our heretical critique of their power into a new generation of stories, a new symbolic order, something every twelve year-old can grasp and incorporate as they pretend to the roles they will play as adults.<BR/><BR/>This, Rick, is what you have called on me to attempt in various conversations. And now I see it more clearly - thanks to Prospero, Voltimand, you, and others - as our project here, one that is more pressing, or perhaps just more obvious, with every day.truepeershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16401984575637492845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16821859.post-1134014464690504622005-12-07T21:01:00.000-07:002005-12-07T21:01:00.000-07:00MHA,I believe your Caberet remark to be very accur...MHA,<BR/><BR/>I believe your Caberet remark to be very accurate.

I began to get very alarmed. I hailed a taxi and, thankfully, my pursuer, who was by this time shouting, did not get into the taxi. The driver was enormously sympathetic but told me that I had been 'asking for it' by walking in what he called 'Little Beirut.' He then told me that we were in World War III. His white, working class anger at what he perceived as 'the Islamic takeover' of Britain was palpable. He was not the first London cabbie who has told me he would gladly join the far-right British National Party if pushed.</I><BR/><A HREF="http://www.frontpagemagazine.com/Articles/Printable.asp?ID=20295" REL="nofollow">Carol goes slumming</A>truepeershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16401984575637492845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16821859.post-1134009966563610992005-12-07T19:46:00.000-07:002005-12-07T19:46:00.000-07:00Living in Britain at present is like living in a d...<I>Living in Britain at present is like living in a dream world.

That would be only a further regrettable sign of the collapse of the state that many think is the fundamental historical dynamic of our times. It is true the British state looks weak at present, because it has lost touch with the British nation, but if its fear is an internal backlash against Muslims, isn't the current spectacle of passively pleading with the kidnappers not counter productive? It sure riles me more than it would to know that Islamic fundamentalists killed some of ours who strayed stupidly onto their turf.truepeershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16401984575637492845noreply@blogger.com
