		<description>&quot;The first fruits of the leftist folly in England ripened this past week.&quot;

If you want some good examples of the problem you should take a look at proteinwisdom.com&#039;s recent posts on Britain.  The British Sociological Association recently banned words &amp; phrases like &quot;Old Masters&quot;, &quot;Immigration&quot;, and &quot;man on the street&quot; as &quot;racist&quot; and &quot;heterosexist&quot;:

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/debates/2988760/The-phrase-Old-Masters-is-sexist-authors-and-students-are-told.html

It&#039;s not so much that the Left&#039;s world is &quot;logically impossible&quot;.  Rather, the Left is trying to reshape public perceptions of the world by restricting public discourse, one step at a time. This abuse of language is all the more sickening because it&#039;s supposedly being done in the name of &quot;tolerance&quot; and &quot;promoting freedom&quot;. Obama has admitted that he will nominate Supreme Court justices who &quot;know what it feels like&quot; to be one of the Left&#039;s beloved victim groups. It would not surprise me if before long an activist court created the right for these protected groups to be shielded from offensive speech.  That&#039;s one of the benefits of believing in a &quot;living constitution&quot;.</description>

		<description>You&#039;re right, Nine-of-Diamonds. There&#039;s very little Freedom and Individuality left in Europe. The feeling of oppression there is almost palpable. 

I, too, have noticed that Barack Obama and his mindless followers all look to Europe for inspiration -- unlike the red-blooded Americans who read The New Criterion!

I&#039;ve even heard of Leftists who want to make racism a criminal offense. Imagine how that would empower Muslims!

Leftist folly is afoot in America! If elected, Obama would push for social engineering that will wipe out every trace of Individuality and Initiative just as it is being wiped out in England and France! 

It&#039;s hard to imagine children in the UK being detained for complaining about the suspicious behavior of Muslim students. They should be decorated! 

We all, even our children, must be vigilant. 

Certain leftists even want to restore voting rights to ex-felons (who are mostly minorities) in the hopes they will blindly vote liberal. Nothing could be more criminal. 

They want to investgate and review the criminal justice system. They want to reaffirm support for public education. They want to create a national healthcare system. They want to bring back an expansive public works program. Take note of how often they use the word &quot;public&quot;!

Communists and terrorist enablers all.</description>

		<description>Roger,
Remember your Obama&#039;s Quote of the Day: &quot;We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives we&#039;ve set.  We&#039;ve got to have a civilian national security force that&#039;s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.&quot;

Here&#039;s another piece of the puzzle:  In one speech during the summer Obama vowed to campaign in all 57 states. 

A couple of days ago I came upon this tidbit: &quot;In 1990 The Organization of the Islamic Conference (which has now 57 members including Turkey which calls itself a “secular” state) ratified “Universal Declaration of Human Rights in Islam.”</description>

		<description>I think Margaret Thatcher said, &quot;The facts are conservative.&quot;  On the other hand, the left imagines a world that is logically impossible and then acts as though that world really exists. 
The left has much to answer for. The first fruits of the leftist folly in England ripened this past week.  God help us all if the American left gives us Obama.</description>

		<description>Regardless of whether or not we agree with Hazel she is right about one thing - Individualism and the transnational progressive bureaucracy cannot coexist.  I am sure that many readers are aware of how Britain, Europe, and their former colonies are steadily encroaching on citizens&#039; rights. &quot;Human Rights&quot; commissions in Canada to prosecute &quot;Anti-Islamic&quot; writers.  Children detained in the UK for complaining about Muslim students&#039; behavior. Pastors locked up for criticizing homosexuality.  The guiding principles behind many modern European states are 

1) promotion of separatist ideologies amongst favored victim groups, 

and

2) compulsive regulation to keep the population docile and litigators/gov&#039;t functionaries wealthy.

No wonder the Obamessiah fawns over Europe. The Continent has already implemented much of the social engineering that he thinks the US needs.</description>

		<description>Someone I spoke to this morning may have gotten it right.

He said that no &quot;human agency&quot; can change or &quot;fix&quot; things in this world. Let&#039;s not forget human nature -- or Biblical prophesy! 

Obama and Biden, if elected, won&#039;t be able to change a thing. Palin and McCain, if elected, will at least have the wisdom not to try. 

Only God and the Market can set our course. In fact, the course is already set. 

All a good President can do is to step aside, as it were, and let God and the Market take over. A good President will let the chips fall as they may. 

The task of government is simply to clear the way for God and the Market. War can and will be necessary. 

The Lord knows His own. There is nothing to fear as long as we are a nation of Believers. The Rapture is coming -- may the Wars of tomorrow pave the way!</description>

		<description>Sarah Palin reminds me very much of my wife of 30 years. Born in Yukon Territory, Canada, my wife downed her first grizzly at the age of 10, graduated highschool at 14, attended university (on scholarship) from age 15-23, and graduated magna cum laude while pregnant with our second child.

My wife can out-earn, out-shoot, and out-birth virtually every woman I&#039;ve ever met in my lifetime. She&#039;s a miracle of brainpower, fotrtitude and just plain &quot;guts&quot; and I love the hell outta her.

Sarah Palin is the closest equivalent I&#039;ve ever seen of my beloved Marge. Marge&#039;s take on Palin&#039;s acceptance speech was this: &quot;Hmm... Honey, does this woman remind you of me at her age, or is it just me!&quot;

OMG! How I love Marge and how I understand how Sarah&#039;s husband feels about Sarah!</description>

		<description>@Polemicscat - I agree. This idiocy does not make the British Left  look &quot;tolerant&quot;.  It does not make them &quot;superior&quot; to the &quot;ignorant Americans&quot; they love to bash. Tolerating intolerance is just plain dumb. A society has no obligation to honor the customs of religious believers who want to deny others fundamental rights.  The more radical sects of Islam in Britain seem to have no interest in being left alone - instead they are obsesed with advancing their cause through the worst sort of strongarm tactics.</description>
