Quotes

  • Thomas Sowell
    Many have argued that capitalism does not offer a satisfactory moral message. But that is like saying that calculus does not contain carbohydrates, amino acids, or other essential nutrients. Everything fails by irrelevant standards
  • Ryszard Kapuscinski
    Nationalism cannot exist in a conflict-free condition; it cannot exist as a thing devoid of grudges and claims. Wherever the nationalism of one group rears its head, immediately, as if from beneath the ground, this group's enemies will spring up.
  • Richard Lindzen (climate scientist, MIT)
    Controlling carbon is a bureaucrat's dream. If you control carbon, you control life.
  • Edward R. Murrow
    Just because your voice reaches halfway around the world doesn't mean you are wiser than when it reached only to the end of the bar.
  • Mark Twain
    No man's life, liberty, or property are safe while the legislature is in session.
  • Frederic Bastiat
    And now that the legislators and do-gooders have so futilely inflicted so many systems upon society, may they finally end where they should have begun: May they reject all systems, and try liberty.
  • AA Gill
    But don’t for a moment imagine that the bicycle-riding, organic-hedgerow-grazing, self-denying, 40-watt miserablists are in fact selfless crusaders for the common good. Never underestimate the sustaining pleasure in a hair shirt. Just look at George Monbiot, and witness a man who couldn’t be happier about the imminent demise of life as we know it. It’s given him purpose, prestige and celebrity: without global warming he’d be a geography teacher.
  • John W. Gardner
    The society which scorns excellence in plumbing because plumbing is a humble activity, and tolerates shoddiness in philosophy because philosophy is an exalted activity, will have neither good plumbing nor good philosophy. Neither its pipes nor its theories will hold water.
  • Gary Bushell
    The Green Party will go from green to red faster than a frog in a blender.
  • Tom Paine
    Society in every state is a blessing, but Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state an intolerable one.

Useful Idiots

Link: UK Parliament - Early Day Motions By Details.

Everyone who signed this early day motion is unfit to be a member of a free parliament. Everyone who voted for these wretches is unfit to be a citizen of a free country. Other bloggers are calling for them to be hanged. I understand their outrage, but - as yet - stupidity is not a criminal offence in Britain. Indeed, judging by the outpourings of our political classes and our media, it seems more likely to be made compulsory than to be criminalised.

I cannot say I would grieve much to see these despicable people swinging from a rope tied to a lamp post. I fear I might even smile at the sight. I am too much of a libertarian to urge it though. They are free men and women (no thanks to their own efforts) and have a perfect right to be stupid. However you also have a perfect right (if one of them is your MP) to set them straight. Here is a useful website that will help you do it with minimal effort. The links above will provide plenty of useful material for your letter.

If you are a consituent of one of these fellow-travelling useful idiots, you can also make a point of letting all of your friends and neighbours know. Most represent constituencies which would elect a gerbil wearing a Labour rosette. Some constituencies actually have. However, many also have new constituents from Eastern Europe who understand precisely the nature of the Castro regime. I lived 11 years in Poland. I suspect that if you let your Polish neighbours know about their MP's dictator-idolatry, the effects will be striking. As EU members they are all entitled to register to vote. It would be great if the sons and daughters of the victims of communism could help us rout its remaining sympathisers in Britain.

This house commends the achievements of Joseph Stalin, Bennito Mussolini, Adolf Hitler in securing first class timing of trains. Despite the embargo of Winston Churchill who warned of an impending build up of arms by Adolf Hitler and warned of his military and strategic aims the trains were said to run on time.
Il Duce deserves special mention for continuing to work against all odds till the early hours. We know of this because the lights were still on in the building he worked in (though we are slightly concerned about his carbon footprint). And Joseph Stalin (Uncle to those who know their stuff on the left who picked up the nickname at University or Polytechnic) who was much misunderstood and can't be blamed for the purges and slaughter of millions due to his poor state of mind which might have been helped by councelling.
Notes the great stride all three, well maybe not Italy as they tended to suffer from sunburnt armpits, to the greater cause of innovation in weapons manufacture and build up of strong defence of their proud nations. We call for Governments worldwide to recognise their proud achievements and see to it that once a lefty allways a reactionary totalitarian.
We commend also that members find rifles on internet auction sites belonging to former members of the Italian forces manufactured during World War two. These are instantly recognisable as the search tags usually are found under the heading "Vintage Italian weaponry used during the great war. Only dropped once".
