Ain't that the truth

Only the fool ignores the facts
Making wrong right doesn’t change the truth it only takes one down the path of destruction...

The River War, Churchill reflect on Islam

The River War

Churchill comments on that great religion we are now fighting against, from The River War, first edition, Vol. II, pages 248 50 (London: Longmans, Green & Co., 1899).

"How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! 

Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. 

The effects are apparent in many countries. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live. 

A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity. The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property‹either as a child, a wife, or a concubine‹must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men. Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities. 

Thousands become the brave and loyal soldiers of the Queen; all know how to die; but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. 

Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science‹the science against which it had vainly struggled‹the civilisation of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilisation of ancient Rome."

Old Mule Parable

She Walked Up and Tied Her Old Mule to the Hitch Rail.

As She Stood There, Brushing the Dust from Her Face And Clothes, A Young Gunslinger Stepped Out Of the Saloon with a Gun in One Hand and a Bottle of Whisky in the Other.

The Young Gunslinger Looked At the Old Woman And Laughed, Saying, "Hey Old Woman, Have You Ever Danced?"

The Old Woman Looked Up At the Gunslinger and Said, "No, I Never Did Dance... Never Really Wanted To."

A Crowd Had Gathered; As the Gunslinger Grinned and Said, "Well, You Old Bag, You're Gonna Dance Now," And Started Shooting at the Old Woman's Feet.

The Old Woman Prospector - Not Wanting To Get Her Toe Blown Off -Started Hopping Around. Everybody Was Laughing.

When His Last Bullet Had Been Fired, the Young Gunslinger, Still Laughing, Holstered His Gun and Turned Around To Go Back Into The Saloon.

The Old Woman Turned To Her Pack Mule, Pulled Out A Double-Barreled Shotgun, and Cocked Both Hammers.

The Loud Clicks Carried Clearly Through the Desert Air. 

The Crowd Stopped Laughing Immediately.

The Young Gunslinger Heard the Sounds Too, and He Turned Around Very Slowly. The Silence Was Almost Deafening.

The Crowd Watched As the Young Gunman Stared At Old Women and the Large Gaping Holes of Those Twin Barrels.

The Barrels of the Shotgun Never Wavered In The Old Woman's Hands, As She Quietly Said, "Son, Have You Ever Licked A Mule's Ass?"  

The Gunslinger Swallowed Hard and Said, "No Mam...But...I've always wanted to."

THERE ARE A FEW LESSONS FOR US ALL HERE:

One: Never be arrogant.

Two: Do not waste ammunition.

Three: Whiskey makes you think you are smarter than you are.

Four: Always, always make sure you know who has the power.

Five: Do not mess with old women; they did not get old by being stupid.

ALERTS TO THREATS IN 2013 EUROPE

ALERTS TO THREATS

IN 2013 EUROPE

John Cleese, one of the most witty and intelligent British subjects ever having graced this planet, tells us how Europe is reacting to the latest crisis.

The English are feeling the pinch in relation to recent events in Syria and have therefore raised their security level from “Miffed” to “Peeved.” 

Soon, though, security levels may be raised yet again to “Irritated” or even “A Bit Cross.”

The English have not been “A Bit Cross” since the blitz in 1940 when tea supplies nearly ran out. Terrorists have been re-categorized from “Tiresome” to “A Bloody Nuisance.”

The last time the British issued a “Bloody Nuisance” warning level was in 1588, when threatened by the Spanish Armada.

The Scots have raised their threat level from “****ed Off” to “Let’s get the *******s.” They don’t have any other levels.

This is the reason they have been used on the front line of the British army for the last 300 years.

The French government announced yesterday that it has raised its terror alert level from “Run” to “Hide.”

The only two higher levels in France are “Collaborate” and “Surrender.”

The rise was precipitated by a recent fire that destroyed France’s white flag factory, effectively paralyzing the country’s military capability.

Italy has increased the alert level from “Shout Loudly and Excitedly” to “Elaborate Military Posturing.”

Two more levels remain: “Ineffective Combat Operations” and “Change Sides.”

The Germans have increased their alert state from “Disdainful Arrogance” to “Dress in Uniform and Sing Marching Songs.”

They also have two higher levels: “Invade a Neighbor” and “Lose.”

Belgians, on the other hand, are all on holiday as usual; the only threat they are worried about is NATO pulling out of Brussels.

The Spanish are all excited to see their new submarines ready to deploy.

These beautifully designed subs have glass bottoms so the new Spanish navy can get a really good look at the old Spanish navy.

Australia, meanwhile, has raised its security level from “No worries” to “She’ll be alright, Mate.”

Two more escalation levels remain: “Crikey! I think we’ll need to cancel the barbie this weekend!” and “The barbie is cancelled.”

So far no situation has ever warranted use of the last final escalation level.

A final thought: Greece is collapsing, the Iranians are getting aggressive, and Rome is in disarray.
