Honoring Ronald Reagan in London

Our Flemish correspondent VH writes:
( Discuss at Gates Of Vienna)
Only a few days after the D-Day WWII memorials, concerning which the Dutch blog GeenStijl paid tribute to American soldiers with an impressive photo-series, it has been made public that there will be a President Ronald Reagan memorial in London as tribute to freedom and the [...]

We aren’t the change we’ve been waiting for?

Even my kids have figured out that the best negotiation is one in which you negotiate in good will from a position of strength.  Barack Obama probably agrees with this principle, but it’s becoming obvious that he’s misidentified the source of America’s strength in any negotiation.  When presidents from prior administrations (excepting Carter, of course) [...]

To Stone Or Not To Stone

Abdul Wahid Pedersen is a prominent Danish convert to Islam, and has been a controversial figure in the Danish media for quite some time.

The court overruled the public prosecutor who had declined to prosecute Wilders, whose film “Fitna” urged Muslims to tear out “hate-filled” verses from the Koran.
“The Amsterdam appeals court has ordered the prosecution of member of [...]

The Danish MSM Wakes Up

Last weekend we posted Ted Ekeroth’s video of the appalling behavior of pro-Hamas demonstrators in Copenhagen. Were it not for the internet, the mainstream media in Denmark and elsewhere would almost certainly have ignored the incident and dropped it down the memory hole. But the dedicated efforts of Ted and other volunteers like him drew [...]

Muslim Radicals Strike in Brussels

A blond girl is raped by two North Africans in a busy railway station. Nobody stops to help. Nobody. Disgusting.
The article gets translated by Google, so please be kind with the language mish-mash.
It was June 12. “My daughter was returning from Waterloo. It was 21 h. At its exit from the train, she headed to [...]

Recidivism Rate of Executed Criminals

Misha unleashes his righteous anger upon a blue-blood European pinhead deploring the barbarism of our country in killing those who would & have killed others.
Not to mention that we simply cannot resist digging out the ClueBat of DoomTM when it’s an effeminate Brit-twit lecturing us on the subject. How ’bout you pull the beam out [...]

One Study, Two Spins (With One Attacking Abstinence)

The CDC did a study about teen sexuality. Here’s how The Telegraph, a leading British news paper spun it:
American teenagers are having less sex, doing fewer drugs and drinking less alcohol than those who grew up in the 1990s, according to a new study.
Amid growing concern about teenage behaviour in Britain, the report by [...]
