House Resolution 252 on the Armenian Genocide – not just another case of history repeating itself

Friday, March 5th, 2010

I do not doubt the Armenian Genocide for a moment; however, as I argued a couple of years ago, both it and the Shoah are sui generis; there is nothing to be gained in giving its nomenclature an official imprimatur and much to be lost. Firstly, I think the precedent of governments sanctioning official histories [...]

 

Communist America

Sunday, February 21st, 2010

The bat-shit craziness of some people never fails to amuse me. A correspondent has sent me a list of the ten planks of the Communist manifesto, and how they have been implemented in the USA, at libertyzone.com.
They are, with my comments underneath each one:
1. Abolition of private property and the application of all rents of [...]

Obama hanged in effigy

Monday, January 4th, 2010

BBC News and the Atlanta Journal-Constitution report that an effigy of Obama has been hung in Jimmy Carter’s hometown of Plains, GA (although both look like AP wire feeds).
I am entirely sure that the great majority of people in the US are going to be outraged at the action. I am, though, going to make [...]

 

Obama on Afghanistan

Wednesday, December 2nd, 2009

There are a few interesting things to come out of Barack Obama’s speech today on Afghanistan. I may return to them later, but from a partisan point of view, this caught my eye:
Most of all, I know that this decision asks even more of you — a military that, along with your families, has already [...]

 

Birther sedevacantism

Monday, November 23rd, 2009

Sedevacantists are a small minority within Catholicism who hold that Vatican II was illegitimate and so current Popes and the current Catholic church are shams.
They base this, as I understand it, on three ideas. Firstly, the changes passed at Vatican II, particularly the removal of the doctrine of Extra ecclesiam nulla salus (nothing saved [...]

 

Of Teabaggers and being punked…

Thursday, November 19th, 2009

Courtesy of the Huffington Post:
Saturday, anti-immigration Tea Parties were held in cities across the country to protest the upcoming comprehensive immigration reform bill. In Minnesota, Tea Partiers were punked by one speaker who got the crowd cheering about evicting European immigrants who “stole” this country.
Robert Erickson (reportedly an alias) used language similar to that of [...]

 

1937, 2009

Wednesday, November 18th, 2009

From the Guardian:

President Barack Obama, who pledged to eradicate childhood hunger, has described as “unsettling” the agriculture department survey, which says 50 million people in the US – one in six of the population – were unable to afford to buy sufficient food to stay healthy at some point last year, in large part because [...]

 

Scott Roeder and Nidal Malik Hasan

Wednesday, November 11th, 2009

On November 5th, 2009, Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan entered the Soldier Readiness Centre at Fort Hood, TX, and opened fire with two pistols, killing thirteen and injuring another thirty.
It appears that Hasan may have been motivated by his religious beliefs as he reportedly proclaimed ‘Allahu Akbar’ before opening fire. He may also have been suffering [...]

 

Dear Sarah Palin

Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009

A correspondent writes:
Dear Sarah Palin,
You’re an idiot. Your followers’ celebration of your “values” – which, I believe, are teen pregnancy, moose hunting, overpriced suits, and big hair – make me extremely concerned for the future of our country. Save yourself (and the rest of us), and go retire in Russia. Thanks.
Sincerely,
A Woman Who Actually [...]
