Of Fathers & Daughters, Conservatives & Liberals

* Of Fathers & Daughters, Conservatives & Liberals* One of the very best emails I have received where it gently explains the difference in thinking between people with opposite outlooks. A young woman was about to finish her first year of college. Like so many others her age, she considered herself to be very liberal, and among other liberal ideals, was very much in favor of higher taxes to support more government programs; in other words redistribution of wealth. She was deeply ashamed that her father was a rather staunch conservative, a feeling she openly expressed. Based on the lectures that she had participated in, and the occasional chat with a professor, she felt that her father had for years harbored an evil, selfish desire to keep what he thought should be his. One day she was challenging her father on his opposition to higher taxes on the rich and the need for more government programs. The self-professed objectivity proclaimed by her professors had to be the truth and she indicated so to her father. He responded by asking how she was doing in school. Taken aback, she answered rather haughtily that she had a 4.0 GPA, and let him know that it was tough to maintain, insisting that she was taking a very difficult course load and was constantly studying, which left her no time to go out and party like other people she knew. She didn't even have time for a boyfriend, and didn't really have many college friends because she spent all her time studying. Her father listened and then asked, "How is your friend Audrey doing?" She replied, "Audrey is barely getting by. All she takes are easy classes, she never studies and she barely has a 2.0 GPA. She is so popular on campus; college for her is a blast. She's always invited to all the parties and lots of times she doesn't even show up for classes because she's too hung over." Her wise father asked his daughter, "Why don't you go to the Dean's office and ask him to deduct 1.0 off your GPA and give it to your friend who only has a 2.0. That way you will both have a 3.0 GPA and certainly that would be a fair and equal distribution of GPA." The daughter, visibly shocked by her father's suggestion, angrily fired back, "That's a crazy idea, how would that be fair! I've worked really hard for my grades! I've invested a lot of time, and a lot of hard work! Audrey has done next to nothing toward her degree. She played while I worked my tail off!" The father slowly smiled, winked and said gently, "Welcome to the conservative side of the fence." If you ever wondered what side of the fence you sit on, this is a great test! If a conservative doesn't like guns, he doesn't buy one. If a liberal doesn't like guns, he wants all guns outlawed. If a conservative is a vegetarian, he doesn't eat meat. If a liberal is a vegetarian, he wants all meat products banned for everyone. If a conservative is down-and-out, he thinks about how to better his situation. A liberal wonders who is going to take care of him. If a conservative doesn't like a talk show host, he switches channels. Liberals demand that those they don't like be shut down. If a conservative is a non-believer, he doesn't go to church. A liberal non-believer wants any mention of God and Jesus silenced. If a conservative decides he needs health care, he goes out and buys health insurance, or he looks for a job that provides it as a benefit. A liberal demands that the rest of us pay for his. If a conservative reads this, he'll forward it so his friends can have a good laugh. A liberal will delete it because he's "offended." Our American friends should note: Conservative and Liberal are the names of the two mainstream Canadian Political Parties (there are others), and, at least most of the time, also reflect their ideologies. Remember - Keep Smiling It makes people wonder what you're up to!

 

Political Correctness & the London Olympics

*Political Correctness & the London Olympics* Be sure to see these Olympic stories, including especially the short video at the bottom on the opening ceremonies of the 1936 Games in Berlin. **** **** Contrast the cheap, tacky, tasteless commercialism, glitz and political correctness of this year’s production with the classic dignity and good taste of those earlier games, immortalized in Leni Riefenstahl’s incomparable documentary, *Olympiade/Olympia**.* ** *First Voula Papachristou , a Greek triple jumper, was banished from the Greek Olympic team for a remark critical of the African invasion of Greece. Pathetic Greece may be mired in debt, hopelessly corrupt and mismanaged but its traitorous establishment bans an athlete for tweeting her views on immigration. "*The Greek triple jumper expelled from London 2012 after she made a racist remark on Twitter says she has been left "very bitter and upset,' admitting: 'I am trying to stay calm, otherwise I would lose control.' *Voula Papachristou, 23, was removed from the Greek Olympic team on Wednesday after causing uproar with the tweet about the widely reported appearance of Nile-virus-carrying mosquitoes in Athens. She wrote: "With so many Africans in Greece, at least the mosquitoes of West Nile will eat homemade food." She subsequently deleted the message." (The Guardian, August 8, 2012)* **** **** *Greek triple jumper banned from Olympics over 'racist' remark***** http://theneworder.org/news/2012/08/greek-triple-jumper-banned-from-olympics-over-'racist'-remark/ Even more outrageous was the fate of blonde blue-eyed German rower Nadja Drygalla. Her sin wasn't anything she'd said but the nationalist politics of her boyfriend who was a member of the perfectly legal NPD (National Democratic Party) in Germany. "The German rower Nadja Drygalla has left the Olympic village following media allegations that her boyfriend is a far-right extremist. The German Olympic Committee said Drygalla, who had already finished competing at the Games as part of the women's rowing eight team, left of her own accord after a 90-minute conversation with German officials. 'Miss Drygalla confirmed credibly her commitment to the Olympic Charter,' the head of Germany's committee Michael Vesper said. 'She is leaving the Olympic Village so as not to be a burden for the team.' Though German officials did not give the reason for her departure, the German public broadcaster *ARD* reported the 23-year-old former police officer was suspected of sympathizing with right-wing extremist ideology." *(The Guardian*, August 10, 2012) **** *German rower leaves Olympics following 'Nazi boyfriend' allegations***** http://theneworder.org/news/2012/08/german-rower-leaves-olympics-following-'nazi-boyfriend'-allegations/ But the fanaticism of political correctness doesn't end there. The thoroughly whipped and self-hating German political establishment is threatening to go even further. *Reuters* (August 12, 2012) reports: " Germany may force sports stars to make a commitment to Democracy, a ministry spokesman said on Tuesday, days after a national rower quit the Olympic village following reports that her boyfriend was a neo-Nazi. The case of Nadja Drygalla, whose partner has been a member of the far-right National Democratic Party (NPD), has ignited a debate in Germany about extremism in sport, although the rower denies holding far-right views herself. As part of a regular review of guidelines on sport funding, the Interior Ministry is considering insisting that top clubs and associations make a formal commitment to democratic values. 'This is a question that arose at the end of last year ... and we are considering it in our review,' a spokesman said. 'It is not in any way related to the Drygalla case. Right-wing extremism in German sport has been a concern for a long time.'" But, the NPD is a legal party legitimately contesting "democratic" elections in Germany. Where is the problem? **** *Germany to demand 'Democracy' pledge following Olympic departure***** http://theneworder.org/news/2012/08/germany-to-demand-'democracy'-pledge-following-olympic-departure/ **** And, thanks to NPD candidate, translator and sometime German political prisoner Gunter Deckert, for this item **** *1936 Berlin Olympic Games:** Opening Ceremonies*(Video 6:09 min) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GePNydI9gX4 ****

 

Calling on White Americans

Calling on White Americans to join in on this Day of Awakening At our Nation’s Capital on September 22 nd The activities will start at Lincoln Park at 12 o’clock noon to muster for a march to Union Square at the Capitol Reflecting Pool to hold a peaceful day of awareness talks, protests and prayer vigils for the victims of a systematic GENOCIDE taking place against White South African Farmers by the black ruled communist African National Congress of South Africa. Since the ANC took control in 1994 over 70,000 Whites have been brutally murdered and not a single cry from the media, the United Nations or from a single U.S. President to stop the barbaric and vicious assaults on White Farmers. Whites in South Africa are keenly aware of the plans to kill them. Genocide Watch lists the Boer farmers in South Africa as victims of genocide — but the media couldn’t care less. ANC member Julius Malema has praised Zimbabwe’s murderous seizure of white-owned farms as "courageous and militant." White South Africans know what’s coming. The terrorist Nelson Mandela has been video recorded singing the hate song "Kill the Boer". Boer means White Farmer. Here is the murderer Nelson Mandela with his wife Winnie who is also a murderer holding their fists high in front of the Communist ANC Flag with Communist party member, the Jew Joe Slovo. And here is Michelle Obama visiting with the murderer of White South Africans at his home in Houghton South Africa in June of 2011. This child was Willemein Potgieter, age 3, shot dead execution style by black thugs along with her mother and her father simply because they were white.
