�GERMANIC�, �TEUTONIC� AND THE JEWS

Shiny Happy Gulag (from Canada) has some good posts up at the moment — from quoting Nye Bevan at the French to throwing the Swedish example at Canadian socialized medicine.

Here is someone who regrets trying �alternative� therapy. Via Secular Blasphemy.
This is a good [...]

OUSTING SADDAM
Winds of Change has some detailed strategy for how the Iraq war should be fought.
The Infidel reports an Australian Leftist parliamentarian who defends Saddam’s use of poison gas against his own people — babies included. Lovely!
A good spoof here on the Belgian unwillingness to bring Saddam to heel.
Only 28% of Britons think: “It’s [...]

According to lots of experts quoted in this article, climate science is in its infancy and any global warming observed has many possible explanations others than greenhouse gases resulting from human activity. In other words, the science of the matter is a big: “Don’t know”. “Greenhouse” is just guesswork, in other [...]

My post on whether Christianity had any role in fostering the respect for individual liberty that characterizes the Anglo-Saxon nations drew a few emails in response. I have just posted one particularly interesting correspondence here.
Orrin Judd has reproduced a fabulous and historic speech from the Gipper (scroll down).

CHRISTIANITY AND INDIVIDUAL LIBERTY
The English-speaking world in general and conservatives in particular have always been characterized by a strong respect for the individual and for individual liberties. Christians often attribute this to the influence of Christian teachings despite the fact that Christianity is far from peculiar to Anglo-Saxon countries. When this is [...]

A PEACENIK REVIEW
A good post on why it is that Leftists are always demonstrating about something here. Excerpt: “street marches are basically the Spoiled Child Temper Tantrum method of political discourse. Nobody in a demonstration is there to listen or learn or reason”
There have been some great pictures of idiotic “peace” protestors but [...]

AMERICAN “IMPERIALISM”
The idea of American military or political imperialism has always been a fantasy that flies in the face of all the facts. American troops have gone all over the world in the last 50 years but have only ever been used to install or protect local self-government, not take it away. Americans [...]

BAGHDAD WATCH
Sometimes the Baghdad Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) does get in touch with reality. As were see here. They ask, if Saddam does not have chemical weapons, why is he preparing his troops with protective measures against such weapons? He must know that the West will not deploy them. So it is [...]
