“George W. Bush named national security advisor Condoleezza Rice to replace Colin Powell as secretary of state. A few days later, Rice entered the hospital for minor surgery of an undisclosed nature.”
I bet she had to have her batteries recharged.
The most interesting part of the debate about radical Islam in Europe is the fact that people keep asking why and how seemingly normal, assimilated Arabs turn to violence and hate.
I have mentioned this before, but at the risk of sounding redundant I’ll throw my hat into the ring once again. The Islamic Radicals are precisely not the people who have had trouble assimilating into European culture.
They are people who have lived there for some time and have been victims of European racism. Period. That is the reason why they turn to religion. Think of it this way: if religion is the opiate of the masses, the people in the most pain are going to look to it for soporific and analgesic properties.
The reason why, is because when a Moroccan walks into a shop in Spain, or Holland, or Belgium, they are followed. They are treated as thieves because of the color of their skin.
That is the seed of discontent that Europe will have to sow.
First generation immigrants, people just off the boat are looking to make money, to eat, and they lack the knowledge of the culture, the experience with the people that breeds the contempt that springs of racism.
To figure out who is most likely going to attack them, it is not enough to control the messages coming from the mosques. Europeans need to try to bridge the gap between themselves and the “assimilated” Arabs who have been subjected to the Chinese water torture of racism.
1. The declining dollar with no inkling of recovery.
2. The theft of Yukos by oligarchs in Russia.
There is another global financial crisis looming.
I am having a crisis of blog conscience.
Is this virtual diarrhea?
I used to be troubled by Nietzsche, mainly because of his Hitler’s association with him. In fact, Nietzsche once said that he thought all anti-Semites should be shot.
Ok.
He also suggested that you should live your life like you would be destined to live it exactly the same, over and over, for all eternity.
I am making a conscious effort to add more things into my life that I would be happy to relive forever.
I understand mass consumerism and our cultural goal. Work a job you don’t like to make a lot of money in order to buy a big house and fill it with shit you don’t need to impress people you don’t like.
I want off this sendero. I don’t like where it is heading.
It is certainly not a way to happiness, but a way to make your children have to deal with a lot of crap in your garage when you die.
Bush:
“Let me put it to you this way: I earned capital in the campaign, political capital, and now I intend to spend it,” he said on Thursday.
Bush, who has held fewer solo press conferences than any recent president, frequently cut off reporters trying to ask follow-up questions, quipping he could do so “now that I’ve got the will of the people at my back”.
I am very sorry.
The bad news is: Bush has done it again (not with my help).
The good news is: Perhaps I will be coming to visit you soon. I will probably be drafted into a neo-colonialist invasion to “liberate” you.
If your country has oil reserves, well… get the futon ready!
If anyone wants to do research on what I have to do to seek asylum, I’m all ears.
The fact that the election is this close makes me apprehensive about the status of America.
There are a lot of morons.
If The Shrub wins I will be very disappointed.
I don?t understand how you could rationalize voting for him.
It?s pathetic.
Or as Luke says:
“I knew Bush would win the redneck states, I just had no idea there were so many.”
I shit on the H2.
