We are developing the social individualist meta-context for the future. From the very serious to the extremely frivolous... lets see what is on the mind of the Samizdata people.

Samizdata, derived from Samizdat /n. - a system of clandestine publication of banned literature in the USSR [Russ.,= self-publishing house]

A nice rant for the weekend

An agreeably splenetic Pat Condell video to get you in the right mood for the weekend…

    Looks like Pat and I are on the same page here!

  • Yes, that Paine quote requires endless repetition Steve, thanks for the reminder… [pokes the Illuminatus into action]

    Pat Condell says so eloquently what desperately needs to be said. He is the best! Thanks for posting this.

    Condell is OK. I’ve seen a few of his videos. He’s fairly amusing but he does tend to overdo the “which is a bit like…” joke-construction, which can grate at times.

    Perhaps the best speech I’ve ever seen on the topic is pasted below. Unsurprisingly, it’s by…:

    Giss a link!
    Go on!
    Giss it!
    I could have a laugh then.
    Just like the rest of you.

    Why do I get the message

    When I run my cursor over the picture?

  • “Welcome to the UN Conference on Human Rights, jewboy!”

  • Anne C.

    Bravo Pat, bravo.

    Will the US follow Canada’s example and boycott this farce of a conference as well?

    I wish someone with enough balls would ask this question to both of our candidates.

    Almost certainly a browser setting you need to change. Do you have security set to ULTRA SUPERDOOPER HIGH?

  • Wishkah 39

    Can a person who follows Sharia be a citizen? Aren’t they really a citizen of Dar al-Islam who is displaced to Dar al-Harb? No matter what they do outwardly, aren’t they committing apostasy if they acknowledge the demands of citizenship to a non-Muslim state?

    The Canadian government is up for election, sneered at by the “Economist”of course – just as it backs the submissive person for the post of Prime Minister of Israel.

    It is up to the voters of Canada to decide whether they want to stand with Harper or not – if not then Canada will join the “ban hate speech” “multiculturalism” movement again. After all it has long been involved in it.

    “Could not happen in the United States – we have a First Amendment”.

    Almost every American university is against “hate speech” and in favour of submission to Islam “multiculturalism”. And a few appointments to the Supreme Court (two actually – as one person on the Supreme Court just blows with the wind) will bring bans on “hate speech” and cooperation with the “interantional community” to the whole nation.

    And the American veto on the United Nations would be become pointless – as the American government would support its policies.

    Game over.

    As for Islam:

    Any religion founded by a person who was a rapist and a murderer, and who became a rapist and a murderer AFTER he founded the religion, is likely to have some problems with it.
