Well thank goodness for Mr. Diene, I say.

Florida is clearly a third-world state, unable to protect its citizens from contemporary forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance. And all that.

Now that the UN has arrived, I expect Florida to blossom. I envision a place with sandy beaches, a burgeoning population, thriving businesses and -- dare I dream it? -- a citizenry comprising young and old people, blacks, Latinos, Jews...

A place where people from around the world might yearn to vacation, even. A place where people might seek to spend their Golden Years...

I remember An interview with Bedier a year ago when he was still with CAIR, and I can't remember the subject, but he came across as attempting to sound like a reasonable person supporting fundamental Islamic beliefs such as not recognizing Israels right to exist, segregation and regulation of female apparel, voting rights, driving rights, education and most other civil rights enjoyed by females in the west. Anyone not sharing his fundamentalist beliefs was an "Islamaphobe" according to Bedier. It would be interesting to know why he broke his ties to CAIR, there is a lot more to this guy than the MSM reports.

Somalia, Sudan, Myanmar, Zimbabwe. Take a country at random, and if it has a collectivist government, any "inconvenience", let alone any natural or manmade disaster, is an excuse for the goons with guns to seize emergency aid coming in and let people they hate starve. It's cheaper than ammo for their Kalashnikovs.

As P. J. O' Rourke once observed, in the modern world, there's no shortage of food, just deliberate political interference in getting it to where it's needed. And famine, either naturally-caused or artificially created, is now a standard-issue "WMD" with Third World governments who would like to be rid of segments of their captive populations that they either don't trust, or just don't like for what Douglas Adams would call "the usual no-very-good reason(s)".

The only thing that surprises me about Zimbabwe (or, as the late Col. Jeff Cooper referred to it, Mugabestan), is that it's taken them 'til now to get around to this page of the "Third World True Socialist Great Leader's Handbook."

Somewhere in Hell, Mao is scratching his bald pate wondering if Mugabe slept through that lecture or something.

When is Mr. Diene going to haul ass and check on the conditions of Jews in Syria and Bahai in Iran? When is a formal American delegation going to Mr. Diene's country to explore its concern and respect for human rights?

And as we watch Africa sink into a death spiral of corruption, tribal and religous massacres. We also observe the rise of the domination of the UN by African and ME diplomats, many of the highest positions in the UN are held by Africans, is there any wonder why a global government dominated by politicians from the most corrupt continent on the planet has led the UN to ineffective and corrupt policies?

Christopher Stricklin ejects from the USAF Thunderbirds number six aircraft less than a second before it impacted the ground at an air show at Mountain Home Air Force Base, Idaho, Sept. 14. Stricklin, who was not injured, ejected after both guiding the jet away from the crowd of more than 60,000 people and ensuring he couldn't save the aircraft. This was only the second crash since the Air Force began using F-16 Falcons for its demonstration team in 1982. The ACES II ejection seat performed flawlessly. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt.

They seem to feel that feudal kingdoms and Islamic republics devoid of even basic human rights or dignity and love to kill anything that is not Muslim is a good thing.

Also, as Alvaro Vargas Llosa, et al., say of their own region in Guide To The Perfect Latin American Idiot, the "intellectuals" in the UN, Europe, American academia, etc., view Africa as just one more laboratory for experiments with their favorite answers to all the world's ills, namely Marxist/Leninist collectivism with a side order of Rousseauian primitivism. The idea being that if they can make even one African country a "showcase" of successful socialist/environmentalist rule, they can shame America into becoming a true "progressive" state.

And if it doesn't work, they can always fall back on their default (and subtly racist) excuse, "Well, they [the "locals"] just aren't 'enlightened' [i.e., smart] enough- we can do it better the next time (after you give us more money to play with and stop looking so closely at what we actually are trying to do with it)."

I don't expect any change in the mindset of those responsible for enabling the kleptocratic regimes of Africa to continue stealing and killing, anymore than I expect the Sun to rise in the West tomorrow morning. Some things are just logically impossible.

Here's one for this thread.

I never get tired of those 'title your own Obama posters.'

Another classic.

Thanos, you may have missed this.

When the UN gets some balls and stands up to Islamic nations about their horrid treatment of women, then maybe I'll be a bit more positively inclined toward them.

And if they can really reach down and grab 'em by telling the Islamists that the world community (heh) will no longer accept mass murder by suicide, then I'd stand on a chair and shout!

Alas, I expect neither to happen.

So why are we still giving the UN a gajillion bucks a year? Just so they can send some flunky over to criticize us?

That building at 760 United Nations Plaza should be turned into a museum to honor victims of dictatorial/totalitarian regimes.

A is A

I want A to be $100 million.

But A is A.

Damn that Bush, when obama is president it will be different!

Nice.

Looks like that tornado warning box is holding together a little longer than I had anticipated.

Missed it by that much.

hang in there Noam and good luck!

head to the basement and fire up that doob is my advice...

doobbie!

re: #157 joecitizen

Thanks, dude. I'm kind of relying on the heat island effect here in inner-city Mpls, and that it's after dark. The storm is going to lose energy rather quickly. Folks down south don't have that kind of buffer, I understand.

At one point, didn't McCain mention something about a super-hero sounding League of Democracies? In theory, something like that sounds good, until the pushy, overbearing democracies (like France) make you invite people you don't like (lets say Libya) to the group. Then it's screwed.

Thanos, you may have missed this.

Nicely done Winslow; thanks kindly for the mention but I'm just a small synapse in the large reptilian blogmind that all the world must heed.

I've been using FF3 with no problems viewing LGF (though my other computer does seem to have issues with the flash player installed. It keeps claiming that I need to install it, even though it's already installed (and reinstalled) several times.

I'm having the same flash player issue with FF3.

re: #90 LoFlyer

Africa has been going down hill ever since the European colonies pulled out. As oppressive and racist as the Europeans were, the population were not starved and killed in the millions as is fashionable today.

A notable exception being, alas, the Belgian Congo in the latter part of the 19th Century. When it was the personal colony of king Leopold II, rubber quotas were imposed and forcibly met "by any means necessary". The "body count" from this apparently runs in the seven digits ;-)

The outcry against the situation there inspired what some have called the first modern human rights movement. Eventually Belgian parliament felt they had to so something, and basically voted through a law under which the Belgian state bought the colony from Leopold II. Under Belgian colonial administration (rather than L2's personal plunder), things shaped up quickly (not that they could go further down).

I think it is a good idea, but like everything the devil is in the details. There would have to be a very strict and measurable set of benchmarks to be met for membership with regular review. Never happen.

How about we put in place a "League of Democracies" and just conveniently forget to invite France? We can claim that the invite was lost in the mail, and since some civic transportation group is always going on strike in France, maybe they'd believe it?

/we can dream, can't we?

It looks like Doudou, smells like Doudou, tastes like Doudou, it's a good thing we didn't step in it.

Shame on the freaking state dept for letting this a$$hole in

re: #139 joecitizen

then we"d be talking about a tragedy of a different nature entirely..

But wouldn't it be even worse if Tom Cruise adopted Africa?

I think McCain may be looking at it in terms of a successor to the UN. Don't forget, while the UN was formed in the waning days of WW II as a successor to the League of Nations, the League wasn't officially dissolved until a year after the official founding of the UN. Like the LON, McCain may view the UN as a failed organization with a low long-tern survival potential, and thus may be thinking in terms rather like those of the college professor in H. Beam Piper's story

The Edge Of The Knife

Which would indicate that he has at least a nodding acquaintance with the theories of Arnold Toynbee.

These last two articles makes me think that the United States need to get a case of hard hearing for the opinions of the rest of the world.

I am not proposing isolationism. I am proposing that we adopt what is so readily displayed by every other country towards the U.S. Namely, mind your own business.

AHMED BEDIER: FL MUSLIM LEADERS TESTIFY AT UNITED NATIONS RACISM HEARING.

At the top oh his page, A leading American Muslim voice.

Hint: If you have to tell people this, it might not be as true as you think.

Fuck it. This country is for sale. It doesn't matter anymore.

Doudou and Beier join forces on a lonely search for islamophobia in the American West. Somewhere, in the night, they find each other.

Sincere Pictures presents:
Brokeback Moslem
Coming to a mosque near you.

JWM

From Bedier at the press release:

"We thank SR Diene for hearing our concerns about the rise in anti-Muslim bigotry in the United States, and we appreciate his concern about Islamophobia's growing threat to world peace," said Ahmed Bedier. "Civilized nations must take concrete action to curb incitement of racial and religious hatred by supporting dialogue and education."

Mr Bedier,

If you really want to protect Muslims from Islamophobia and promote peace it would seem more beneficial to spend your efforts countering your fanatical brethren who insist of terrorism, anti-Semitism and anti-Westernism as a mode of operation. Seeing as how Islam is a religion of peace you should stand between your crazy ass fundamentalist brothers and everybody else. All that 'caliphate' and 72 raisin talk, the whole subjugation of women, and did I mention the bombings? That's freaks everybody out. Can you blame them for being a tad 'phobic?'

If there was nothing to be phobic about, there would be no Islamophobia, no? Though we like to make fun of others, there's no Swissophobia, or Hinduphobia, or Floridophobia... get it?

Just trying to help.

With the warmest and sincerest sarcasm, Mr Papa.

The UN is a cesspool of hate and dementia.

Meanwhile, the Canadian Islamic Counsel can't believe "islamophobia" isn't on top of the hate list of crimes in Canada.

So Bedier is back. Good for him, he seems perfectly trained for his new job.

Send this piece of Doudou to any muslim country to investigate their teachings and conduct toward non muslims and/or non arabs. Send him to Saudi Arabia, Libya, Iran, throughout the 57 Islamic Conference, and let him make an 'objective' assessment of the racism, sexism, homophobia, xenophobia, and antisemitism prevalent there. Unfortunately, for this piece of deep Doudou, there are only three countries that are 'racist', Israel, USA, and Denmark (the cartoons naturally). Everyone else has paid their taqqiya to their overlords and get a pass from this charlatan.

I'm back, I'm back. After the great computer crash, I was finally able to re-register. Just in time to say that Doo-doo sucks, back to Africa with him! Africa must save itself. Good luck on that. But, I've been done with the apologists about the time I saw all those stories about men raping babies to cure AIDS or refusing vaccines to get back at the Great Satan. Some wacko mother saying that she's ok that her baby is paralyzed from polio cause she didn't want the evil vaccine. She really showed me. How's that working out for you and your kid? If you want to see a lefty's head explode, start comparing Taiwan or South Korea to any country in Africa...
