Robert Spencer spoke at Dartmouth this evening. Outstanding talk, and surprisingly well-received (apart from the boycott). Thanks for your coverage of the INtolerance across the country.

Also...MAN! I wish I could shred like that...

And now for some GOOD news.
I had the angiogram today; the cardiologist found no significant blockages. So he said I'm a lucky man. He want to work with me to develop a plan to lose the weight I've carried for all these years.
Truly, I'm blessed today, what with the soreness of the groin area. Thanks Lizardoids!

Give us details!

the Foo are legit. Grohl is super-legit. It is hard for me to say which I like better: the self-titled debut or The Colour and the Shape. One by One is also good. Either way, Grohl is the engine of a very, very good rock band. Unique sound, unrelenting percussion, masterful riffs...the Foo Fighters bring it, and bring it with authority.

By the way, my email at c h a r l e s (at) lgf.com has been malfunctioning all afternoon for some reason, since about 2 pm. I'm trying to get it straightened out.

re: #10 Macker

Glad to hear that, Macker.

I don't share my personal life much because there are too many creeps out there who will use it against me, but if you're the praying sort, my mother could use your prayers. She's been diagnosed with liver cancer, has already had one operation, and is now going through chemotherapy.

Here is the website for the documentary

Video no longer available. That was fast.

Great song. The bass line in the beginning that comes back in the chorus is the hook. And Grohl can sing/scream like that live which is amazing. Screaming is hard on singers. Most can get up for it in the studio but have to tone it down for the road show or they'll turn into a Brian Johnson sounding frog. Grohl is a world class screamer. Ian Gillan being the world record holder though. I thought that dude's screaming was going to cause the roof of Cobo to resonate and cave in on us.

Good news Macker.

My father in law was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer a month ago and they removed the whole thing. He's waiting for chemo and radiation but was well enough to drive 20 miles to watch my kid, his grandson play 8th grade football Wednesday night. Kid had some nice open field tackles and a pick-off and a long reception on offense and peepaw was one proud grandpa. That peepaw and meemaw thing is from my wife's side, not mine. Geeze. What can I say, I married an Ohio girl. Ha.

I work with a girl whose father-in-law has prostate cancer. He is in chemotherapy right now. It was looking bad for a while then he suddenly made a u-turn. His doctor said he would have had 6 months to live if it was 1965.

It's amazing how much medicine for cancer has advance since then.

Don't sell yourself short. Literally, don't skimp on investments in your health. Some of my acquaintances may think I'm crazy because I own and operate a blender that costs more than a Kennedy-reunion bar tab. But for some strange reason they consistently seem to have more adipose tissue than do I, and I only see them at the gym for short slices of time just after New Years. Just don't go hog wild; a 1500 watt blender can just as easily accommodate a virgin snickers bar with its tear hither wrapper as it can a fresh orange.

My Aunt Frances discovered about three years ago what she thought was a painfully arthritic back was metastasized breast cancer. She has been on an experimental therapy, and her tumors have actually shrunk. Science is doing amazing things, and miracles do happen.

nice :) thx charles

Pancreatic cancer is always a harsh geography lesson in where the Isles of Langerhans are.

The late Rory Gallagher played a kick a$$ show at the Royal Oak Theater 20 or so years ago. City ordainance mandated that shows had to end a midnight. Management cut his power at 12:15. (He wouldn't quit playing). The flashlight jerks opened the exit doors and ordered everyone to leave. Gallagher picked up a steel resonator guitar and played on for another half hour. Hey , you can't kick a thousand people out. heh

Charles I'll pray for her too.

I remember once when you were interviewed by Prager and he talked about how impressed he was, and you said something like "could you tell that to my mother", I laughed but it is kind of true. I will keep her in my prayers.

Charles,

Tell your mom about my dad... at age 77 he was diagnosed with prostate cancer. He went through chemotherapy and told me he wished he could have died...

This past summer, Harvard Medical School called him (he is a retired MD and has participated in numerous drug studies over the past 30-years) and told him that statistically he should have been dead 7 years ago. They told him that he had "beat" the prostate cancer.

On September 3, 2007 he turned 90.

Please tell her... the power of the mind is an amazing thing.

re: #15 Charles

My prayers go out to her and you and your family!

Nice video. Rock on!

One of my favorite authors is also undergoing chemo now, it was kind of a shocker reading her blog and having it just pop out suddenly like that. Her prognosis is pretty good however, my mom survived and I hope Virginia Postrell will as well.

(If you haven't read her book "The Future and its Enemies" you really need to. Interestingly enough it examines in depth how opponents find themselves as strange bedfellows in opposition to change.)

My Dad zt'l learned. As there are other cases on my paternal side, and as a diabetic? Ouch. I am registered with Roswell Park Cancer Institute, in Buffalo, the designated registry in NY State.

They are actually making some advances, small, but hopeful, here and in other countries. Like ovarian cancer, the problem is that it is diagnosed too late in most cases.

Charles, So sorry to hear about your Mother. My father died about a dozen years ago of bone cancer. It was tough, but at least we had time to prepare for it. He refused treatment. It was his second go arround.

Macker, glad to know the angiogram went OK. We both probably need to shed a few pounds. Work with your doctor and get the plan thats best suited for you. Don't jump into any of the fads. Your weight is programed by your body to cope with feast and famine. Our life styles short circuit that routine, and the body will react to the diet.
I've read that its better to carry a few extra pounds then to be under weight as we age. Best wishes for you.

Does your mom understand what you do with this blog? Beyond the "here's a pic of my bike tire, let's try some new CSS" stuff. I mean, how you keep tabs on the world and harness the power of many eyes and insightful minds, bringing the truth to the fore and exposing the enemies of civilization.

My sister in law was diagnosed with liver cancer in 2000. She was ion remission until last fall. Mayo did a very radical procedure on her, removing parts of her stomach, liver panchreas, gall bladder and intestine. She has to eat eight to ten times a day, small meals but often.
Her cancer is back but moving very slow. She is in an experimental program now as well.

Charles, I'm so sorry to hear this. I know cancer treatments have come along way thankfully. My grandmother is a survivor twice and my husband's dad's wife who is just a doll just survived her first bout of cancer. Do what you can to keep her attitude up and chipper. The positive Ambiance can help out a lot.

God love your mom and I hope he gives her a peace about this. She did such a great job raising a fine man. I'm sure she is proud.

I'm no MD but I know that liver transplants work. Apparently, if you donate half your liver it grows back very quickly (not easily and comfortably of course...) but it may be successfully grafted onto an ailing liver that matches.

/Excuse the nomenclature

Mid back pain is common in many varieties of torso cancers. Do not confuse pain inside of the spine with sciatica.

When I read that VDH has kidney issues (his kidneys, not just some random irrational jihad-like kidney hatred), I was tempted to send him a letter to cheer him up:

Dear VDH,

Then I thought naw... better not.

ELTs get sub commander sh!tcanned by gundecking maintenance.

The commander of the nuclear-powered submarine USS Hampton has been relieved of his command amid an inquiry into misconduct by crew members, the U.S. Navy said Friday.

Cmdr. Michael B. Portland lost his post "due to a loss of confidence in his ability to command," the Navy said in a statement. Cmdr. William J. Houston will replace Portland.

The crew neither maintained inspection records nor conducted the required inspection of chemical levels associated with the cooling system of the ship's nuclear reactor, Navy officials said. The crew then went back and falsified existing records to make it appear the work had been done.

"There is not, and never was, any danger to the crew or the public," the Navy said.

Portland's demotion brings to 10 the number of people relieved of duty on the submarine in the wake of the misconduct probe.

Six personnel have been punished for forging inspection records for the cooling system, the Navy officials said Monday. Those six -- one officer and five enlisted personnel -- received a "nonjudicial punishment" after other Navy personnel discovered their actions, the officials said.

The Navy said Friday that one officer and two enlisted crew members have been temporarily reassigned to Submarine Squadron 11. Portland also will be temporarily reassigned to that squadron.

The misconduct was discovered September 17 but not made public until after completion of an initial inquiry.

A fact-finding investigation is under way, and further action against Navy crew members is possible, a Navy official said.

The Hampton remains in port in San Diego, California. In all, the $900 million vessel's crew includes 13 officers and 116 enlisted personnel.

What I'm fighting for:

It's cesspools like these that give birth to next-generation thought. And advance humanity to a higher level.

My best wishes for Charles' mother and a speedy recovery. I remember when my mom had a heart attack, and how speedy we all rushed to her side. Luckily we didn't lose her that night, but I understand if LGF goes dark for awhile.

Foo Fighters. I do think that Dave Grohl is fantastic and his band as well. However, I find they almost always have a repetition line in the chorus of their songs that goes on and on and on and on. Other than that they are fabulous (and that's probably why that one little thing irks me so much).

I didn't understand the riot police and the spewing viscous liquid in the video though, but that's nothing strange. I don't usually understand music videos.

Charles, both of my parents had cancer and survived (surgery, chemo, radiation). I hope to hell your mom pulls through. My cousin, an extreme Type I diabetic had a pancreas transplant and it's been something like 10 years now. Modern medicine really has progressed in the last thirty years, keep your spirits up.

And of course you're on my prayer list too; it is, alas, growing longer every day.

Sorry to hear that, Charles. I hope there are other family members nearby to help lighten your mother's load and yours.

My mother is a lung cancer survivor (so far). It was her illness that brought me back to my hometown indefinitely.

She developed an allergy to her chemo that nearly killed her from anaphalaxis 3 weeks after I came back. Quick action by the doctor and the oncology nurses saved her life.

Every day with my parents and brother is a blessing. My dad and I have said "I love you" more often in the past 2 years than in all the previous 37 years combined. And my brother and I are now more at peace with each other than ever before.

Add my prayers, Charles.

re: #130 Tasty Beverage

#105 Sodra Djavul

I understand if LGF goes dark for awhile.

I think we should all keep this in mind from now on.

Charles, both of my parents had cancer and survived (surgery, chemo, radiation). I hope to hell your mom pulls through. My cousin, an extreme Type I diabetic had a pancreas transplant and it's been something like 10 years now. Modern medicine really has progressed in the last thirty years, keep your spirits up.

I take it Hot Air's Allah Pundit is pretty internet savvy. Maybe a vacation back East, with occasional visits in, with Allah, maybe Roger Simon and Michelle Malkin as guest grand lizards, wouldn't be a bad thing.

re: #15 Charles

My prayers to you, your family and your mother. I lost my oldest sister to kidney cancer in 2005. Cancer is a horrible experience for all involved. God please grant your blessings upon this noble woman.

I could be wrong, but WRT the Foo Fighters video, I'm not all that cozy with the lyrics, the imagery, or the symbolism beyond that. Other than that, uh, I guess it's okay.

Anybody else catch a Marxist-troofer vibe? Or am I just stuck in the Cold War? (Not that there's anything *wrong* with that...)

re: #120 NY Nana

My husband's father's wife was told she had 2 weeks to live and told to start making funeral arrangements.

She got a 2nd opinion.

They think it's gone after her treatment. She goes in in 3 months to get it rechecked.

I'm so glad she didn't settle on the first diagnosis.

re: #128 allahakchew

She is an amazing woman...she is a great friend, and most of all, a loving, caring wife, mother and grandma, who helps care for her mother and aunt.

And this was 40 years or so ago, which in regard to treatment, etc., is the Dark Ages.

Your husband and daughter must thank G-d for you every day.

That would be awesome, but I don't think Charles would hand over the reins. LGF is too massive for outsiders.

I guess we could all just temporarily colonize Hot Air and MichelleMalkin.com, JihadWatch, etc.

re: #140 Highrise

It is always advisable to get a second opinion. Always, and a third, if necessary.

I pray that in 3 months she will heave a very big sigh of relief, and go from strength to strength.

Please don't misunderstand when I say this.

We need to think positive, not negative because the negative we are allready aware of...

re: #80 Ed mahmoud abu al Kahoul

FLLegal on previous thread notes racist Mexican group MeCha started some of the SoCal wildfires as a terrorist act against the gringo occupiers of California.

That is huge, and the irony of their evil is notable, as at least four illegal aliens trying to enter the US from Mexico apparently died in the fires.

Story is a fake.

[Link: corner.nationalreview.com...]

Shameful Fraud [Jonah Goldberg]
A reader sent me this story blaming "Mexican separatists" for the California fires. I Googled it and already blogs were picking it up.

The problem: It's a fake. The URL says "cnnheadliennews."

It looks to me like the creators of this site weren't trying to make a joke. It's not a parody, it's just simply disgusting.

Prayers for your Mom, Charles.

re: #127 Noam Sayin'

Prayers to you and yours Noam; cancer is way too prominent.

Hey, lizards, instead of making contingency plans for Charles, how about just praying for his Mum and the family? May Charles just take time off to vacation...like that's going to happen.

With all due respect to you both: planning for "LGF to go dark" or proposing "guest" moderators or temporarily "colonizing" another blog or anything of the sort is both premature and, although I know it was unintentional, cruel. Some of us have experiences with cancer and know that hope, positive attitude and prayer do indeed help. Negativity, no matter how unintended, does not.

#144 allahackchew

I know, like I said at #130, both of my parents have been through it, and survived. Charles's mom's cancer of the liver is harder to eradicate than others, but there's always hope, and modern science.

re: #127 Noam Sayin'

Going through the same thing with my brother, Charles. I understand what you're going through. It's probably not going to work out for him, but I'll keep you and your mother in my thoughts and prayers.

Don't give up on your brother yet Noam.
I still have a few favors from God that I'm going to call in.

Charles, my prayers go out to your mother also (and you too).

BOTH the women had superior family networks of support.

I know lots of people linked to this on the thread below, Rice getting advice from Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton, but if you haven't looked, you should. It's even worse than it sounds:

Other sources of advice have been former U.S. negotiator Dennis Ross and ex-secretaries of state James Baker, Henry Kissinger and Madeleine Albright. Rice meets frequently for lunch with Albright, whose father taught Rice at Denver University.

Rice has made clear she will devote all her energy in the Bush administration's final 14 months to get what others have failed to attain in the past -- a viable, independent Palestinian state living side by side with a secure Israel.

Once upon a time, I really liked her.

#163 realwest

No, I didn't. I simply addressed the comments which I quoted.

I apologize if my comment was flippant. I didn't mean it that way -- I'm trying to utlilize "dark humor", but I realize it's inappropriate for many people who are currently dealing with cancer.

Sorry everyone.

One more note for the night, and I thank you all most sincerely for your wishes and prayers from my mom -- my email is not working for some reason and hasn't since about 3 pm this afternoon. So if you've emailed something important and I haven't responded, I'm not ignoring you -- I haven't read it.

Thank you for letting us know. You and your Mom are in my heart. Love, kindness and compassion are the anchors of life.

Family support is, along with prayer ,I think, the most important thing for a patient. They cannot go through this alone.

G-d bless your mother in law, Gran and family!

Anyone in MD/VA area, this sounds interesting...

UPPER MARLBORO, Md., Oct. 27 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Maryland Shall Issue, Inc. welcomes Charl Van Wyk to speaking engagements in Maryland and Virginia. Charl van Wyk is the author of "Shooting Back: the right and duty of self-defense" and now a DVD of the same name.

In 1993, Mr. Van Wyk was in church in South Africa when three terrorists stormed in with hand grenades and assault rifles. Eleven people were killed, 53 badly injured. The situation would have been much worst except that on that night Charl was armed with a 5 shot S&W J-frame revolver - a pea shooter against AK47's, but he returned fire, wounding several of the terrorists and putting them to flight!

As a Christian, Van Wyk makes the case that it is not only the right,
but also one's duty to defend oneself and the innocent from evil-doers. If self- defense is abandoned then evil has free rein. If you don't defend
yourself you burden someone else with the risk for you. Likewise he
declares that gun-free zones only encourage the criminal. In "Shooting
Back" Van Wyk says, "It is ludicrous to think that criminals are going to leave their firearms at home when entering a firearm-free zone. This merely makes the working environment of criminals safer." Terrorist attacks on schools were a frequent problem in Israel until the government decided to arm teachers there.

Mr. Van Wyk will be speaking on Saturday, November 3rd at 1 PM at the Paddock Room in the Prince George's Equestrian Center / Show Place Arena, 14900 Pennsylvania Avenue, Upper Marlboro, Maryland 20772. On Sunday, November 4th at 6:00 PM Charl Van Wyk will be speaking at Bethel Orthodox Presbyterian Church, 19856 Evergreen Mills Road, Leesburg, VA 20176.

The public is welcome to either or both engagements and there is no
charge, except that as the Maryland engagement is during the Silverado Gun Show in the Show Place Arena, regular admission charge for the gun show ($7) will be charged to enter the building.

In Europe it's seriously bed time... Good night all !

Good Night Y'all - hope you all have a good one. And I hope I get to see you all on tomorrows DT.
Again, Charles, my sympathies to you and your Mom and prayers will be going up in about 10 minutes!
And the same for Naom and for his brother and for all of my fellow lizards who are battling terrible diseases.
Good night, Y'all.

Best wishes for your Mom Charles. I had a family member go through chemo recently and while it had some bad side effects, it did it's job and she's doing fine. I also remember reading that the liver is a very strong organ and can actually regenerate itself, so there's good reason to be optimistic that your Mom will get through this ok.

There is always hope, exactly...and hope increases the potency of medicine ...the mind is a powerful thing...most of it yet untapped and waiting...
You and your family will also be in my prayers as well as others who have gone/going through this...:)

And I just looked at it and the "that would be awesome" comment was really inappropriate in hindsight. Thinking back to 1997 when my mom was diagnosed, it was awful.

Thanks hon. They're fine, cancer-free -- for now. And if I may be a nag to the men-folk here at LGF, get that prostate cancer blood test every year. It saved my dad. He still had to have surgery but he's alive, dammit.

It's not like Fjordman was banned or anything, so don't get the wrong impression.

re: #191 song_and_dance_man

Did something happen to Fjordman?

Charles
Of course you have my prayers for your dear mother.
And so does Noam for his brother, and all of those who suffer from this desease, will be "blanket prayed" for.

My wife died in 1992 of cancer. She was only 37. Quite sad, specially for my boy who was 12 at the time.

I'm preety sure that if she had had cancer in this last few years she might very well have vanquished it. The treatment of cancer has advanced a whole lot in the last decades.

Hugs to all who suffer.

Fjordman got into some arguments with several posters, including Charles himself at one point. It was edgy, but I don't think fatal. He's not banned.

OT (if we have a topic?) - Can anybody make some recommendations here for a first-time visitor to New Orleans? I'm going to be on the west edge of the city next week (Mounes St.) and in the French Quarter next weekend. I'm mainly concerned about safety and finding places we can walk to for lunch, and maybe drive or take a cab to for dinner in the evenings. To be honest, the only reason I'm going is the food - I want to try local stuff, on the cheap if possible.

re: #198 Dead Sea Squirrel

I first started questioning fjordman when he ran a piece of how LA was being taken over like the likes of pakistan type burnings and gangs..like no one could walk or drive their car there..etc. He said right then that due to his perception of LA being overrun by people who were burning up the city, that he was glad to be in EUROPE and not in the USA. I was like..what?

I challenged him since I live in california that that was completely not true. No answer. That really pissed me off.

re: #196 DesertSage

Here's the raw gist of it, Sage.

re: #15 Charles

I'm glad you shared that with us, Charles. Let the Lizard army uplift you and your mom in love and prayer and be an encouragement to your heart. My dad (81 years young) went through chemo last year and it was truly difficult. Sometimes all we can do is sit beside them and hold their hand. Just being there gives them strength. Sometimes we need to pray for patience for them and for ourselves when the struggle gets really tough. I always liked the saying that a friend is like an angel who lifts you up when your wings can't remember how to fly. You are there for your mom and we'll be here for you.

Charles,

My mom was diagnosed with cancer also this year. Four surgeries in one month, radiation, etc., etc. As close as we already were, this made us even closer.

I'm adding your mom to our prayers. But, I suspect, that a good part of your mother's prayers have already been answered.

No joke. My lady roommate (also a co-worker) e-mailed me from work on Thursday: "Do you want to go to New Orleans next week?"

Me: (mind full of visions of savages, flood waters, and Democratic governors, in addition to the fact that we have a cat that's just recovering from liver disease & doesn't need the stress of his owners leaving for a week) "Let me think about it"

Wait a minute... Don't they have good food in New Orleans? Gumbo? Crawfish? Alton Brown went there. Dude, you could eat alligator and bread pudding. Holy shit. FOOD!

"Yeah, let's go."

Well, that was interesting, thanks for bringing it to my attention. I've always respected Fjordman. He has always brought a us a good prospective into the European mindset from an insiders point of view.

I think what's happening with him is desperation. He sees Europe slipping away and he's making alliances with anyone who he perceives as stopping it.
It will be interesting to see where he goes with it from here.

re: #204 Pawn of the Oppressor

Pawn:

I'm a native Louisianian and Cajun. I lived in New Orleans for a few years many years ago, but am now back in Cajun Country. I don;t know what types of food you are looking for, but New Orleans - especially the Quarter - is mostly Creole food although they do make a stab at replicating authentic Cajun. I spent a few days down in the quarter a few months back and was greatly disappointed at how far down it has gone. The restaurants that survived Katrina have opened back up, many sans their chefs upon which they made their names. As for prices - again, I was shocked. From my native perspective, the prices have nearly doubled pre-Katrina to post-Katrina, and this includes the hotel rooms (although I can only speak for the twnety or so I checked in the Quarter when I made our reservations.)

I can recommend Arnaud's for some seriously good food, more of a continental menu with a few Cajun dishes - such as duck and andouille gumbo - available.

Port-of-Call down on Esplanade (the east border of the Quarter, running north/south) serves the best burgers I've ever eaten, loaded with about 4" of shredded cheese piled on. It's a favorite of the locals, a place that hasn't changed a smidgen in the last twenty years. It's a great place to park your weary feet and enjoy an ice cold beer with a filling lunch.

You wil find now that many of the Creole restaurants have been replaced with Mexican ones. The illegal population there is phenomenal.

Lafayette is about a hundred miles ot the west, right on I-10. It's the home of Cajun cooking and beats New Orleans hands down when it comes to pleasing the palate. You might consider making a day trip to experience the true Cajun culture. The prices are - overall - about half of what you would pay in New Orleans. Plus, the 30-mile bridge over the Atchafalaya Basin is a wonderful sight, one you will never forget. The music is better, too. : ) New Orleans lost it's soul after Katrina.

Let me know if you would like any particular information and I will be happy to help you. I know that there are a few other lizards from the area ...renee de toute, for starters. Perhaps he/she can also be of helo to you.

I don't share my personal life much because there are too many creeps out there who will use it against me, but if you're the praying sort, my mother could use your prayers. She's been diagnosed with liver cancer, has already had one operation, and is now going through chemotherapy.

re: #239 Rain Patriot

Any socal Lizards have any harrowing tales from the recent firestorm? Like I mentioned on the afternoon open thread, I spent the first three nights of this week in a shelter with other evacuees and was only able to head home a little more than 24 hours ago.

While I was kicking back on a cot in a Christian school gym for three nights, I had time to contemplate the differences between the reactions from this week's fires and the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Some could say the relatively swift reaction time for rescue and relief is a by-product of FEMA and other government agencies wanting not to appear as though they're dragging their feet like what happened in Louisiana. Of course, the Al Sharptons and Spike Lees will want the rest of the world to believe that it's because of all the white people in San Diego and can only be satisfied if FEMA and the state or local agencies can screw the pooch as badly as Louisiana did two years ago and leave some half-million evacuees out of their homes. Now I know I'll never get the chance to ask these race-hustling ass-clowns to their face, but if this fairly quick response by the city & County of San Diego, the state of California, FEMA and all these volunteers and insurance companies was exclusively for the benefit of 'whitey', why were announcements at the shelter being made in English and Spanish ? Why were notices posted on the board in English and Spanish ? I mean...maybe they were providing real-world lessons for all the white kids who were taking a Spanish class or something. Seems like a lot of trouble to come up with that on such short notice.

Unbelievable- it's like we're supposed to apologize to these mother[expletive deleted]ing [expletive deleted]suckers because our homes didn't burn down.

Well, Fjordman is right that we in America lack knowledge of Europe.
That's a fact.

It's also a fact that Fjordman lacks knowledge about the United States.
I've told him that.

Europe is sooo complicated now a days.

oops sorry double paste...

I can never be trusted when I say good night! But I wanted to answer..

Sweet dreams to you, and gezuntheit! I just had to say it again, I just had to!

Re the sleepwalking? Incredible. I guess that guys should wear Dr. Dentons, but possibly in another color!

#235 song_and_dance_man

Did he answer you? I know he didn't answer me.

Yeah, he did:

There were no Nazis at that conference. I don't associate with Nazis, and I'm tired of repeating nonsense.

This after LGFers had spent an evening trading links to VB and SD papers and photos that were quite alarming, and damning. Maybe he didn't know, and maybe the people who showed up for the conference weren't Nazi, but their followers/members sure as hell were/are. Honestly, this is rubbish. The parties themselves are compromised by "ethnic homogeneity" talk and all that that leads to. This is a catastrophe.

And I'm starting to get a clue about why some of the Euro members of the A-J don't like Ayaan Hirsi Ali.

Here's a couple more good Foo Fighters tunes for the late night Lizards.

re: #242 Fenway_Nation

Hug your family and forget those losers. I'm glad you had a home to go back to.

Praising with Macker, praying for Charles' mom and everyone else who has requests. What a fantastic bunch of people we have here...

And, that song ROCKS, where have I been for the last month? I hadn't heard it until now! Sheesh. Went straight over to iTunes and bought it.

allah is in the WH while the G-d of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob has been kicked out of veterans funerals at the direction of Washington.

¡Eres un Abuelito! Eso es el mejor experienca en la vida...tengo 2 nietas, y un nietecito, que va a complir 14 meses de edad en 2 dias..

Las nietas tienen 5 y 7 años.

Abrazos para tus nietos, viejito...ya me voy a dormir; que te duermes bien.

re: #231 song_and_dance_man

We were the only ones rocking; everyone else was slacked jawed at his amazing performance and he would look at us loving it, and maybe that is why he threw so many picks our way.

Nice!

Here's another Satch song, for the ladies, called Love Enternal (ignore the vid).

It's closing in on the time of my midnight feeding, so I must depart.

Charles
I pray your mom joins the ever growing list of cancer survivors. We only get one mother and she can never be replaced.

This whole things been bugging me ever since it started.

I don't like nazi's, old or neo, Euro or American.

No, that's too nice a way to put it.

I despise the sickening pukes and everything they stand for. I salt the earth where they walk.

No way in hell am I ever going to accept them as my allies. If they were on fire, I wouldn't piss on them to put it out. Let em burn...

I'm sure as shit not pressed when I see them coming to the suddenly new found realization that their Islamofascist former allies are now turning on them.

===

Belgium's VB and Sweden's SD have shown me nothing, absolutely nothing, to convince me that they are not what they once were, in a new suit. I see desperation, but no remorse.

I see awareness, and I see ongoing links to Stormfront.

I read a once respected LFGer writing, "Iraq was a mistake."

I see enough. I read too much...

===

Americans are on the battlefields, all over this stinkin ball of mud. We haven't backed down and we haven't quit.

Our sons and daughters, husbands and wives, mothers and fathers are still out there.

Fixing the problems Europe began creating long centuries ago, and didn't finally wash their pitiful hands of until less than a century ago.

I suppose I should be impressed with the collective European mastery of mistakes. I might be more inclined to do so if my family tree had any roots...

Lose the twisted cross, lose the Jew hatred, or...

re: #214 Pawn of the Oppressor

Gator is yummy. Cooked right.

Buddy of mine (from VN era) was just there reprogramming an ATM machine (it was a b*tch and took a lot of extra time).

Whining to me about not haven eaten for 12 hours and couldn't bring himself to pay 25 bucks for a snack.

DT Orleans on the riverbank. Hi rent district. Great scenery but not where you want to get food.

One good reason to go:

After heart surgery in 2006 he performed at JazzFest, and helped reopen the Bay St. Louis Casino which has the new name of the Hollywood Casino. As of March, 2007 he has returned to performing Tuesday and Wednesday nights there.

I heard him live in the '60's - catch him before he is gone!

re: #258 song_and_dance_man

C'mon you don't even know the ground you're standing
on and you tell me you know Europe?
Hahahaha. Sure.

You call youself a Christian, and you hate Catholics. Your belief is that Christianity is about hating. Wrong.

And you must hate Jesus Christ too, as you want to take 1.2 billion worshipers away from Him.

-No they are not your people! No! Only ME! I AM a Christian but not the 1,200,000,000 Catholics in the world. You Jesus, don't know who your followers are, I DO!.

Yes you must know a whole lot about Europe.

It's kind of obvious isn't it?

Hirsi Ali came to the West and thoroughly absorbed, happily absorbed Western values, but still some people object to her. People who are supposedly Anti-Jihad, even though she has so much to contribute.

And before anyone makes a "she was a socialist!" comment, "socialism" is unfortunately a Western construct as well. She just soaked up her environment back then in the Netherlands.
