The Spirit of Geert Wilders By Mark Steyn

A foreword to Wilders’ Marked for Death.

When I was asked to write a foreword to Geert Wilders’ new book, my first reaction, to be honest, was to pass. Mr. Wilders lives under 24/7 armed guard because significant numbers of motivated people wish to kill him, and it seemed to me, as someone who’s attracted more than enough homicidal attention over the years, that sharing space in these pages was likely to lead to an uptick in my own death threats. Who needs it? Why not just plead too crowded a schedule and suggest the author try elsewhere? I would imagine Geert Wilders gets quite a lot of this.

Wow what an election!‏ by Dan Short

 

How is it that in Austin we seem to live in some “illusion of reality—or we accept a ‘willing suspension of dis-belief” it is beyond rational reasoning.

Decline or Decadence?‏ by Victor Davis Hanson from Dan Short

 

This morning while reading the news, an article I read in National Review caught my attention.

Now you can reference the article, and there is one reply comment I read that was so to the point, in so many areas—I just felt obligated to share.

I know not who this person who calls themselves Voltaire is; but his insight is so marvelous; it’s something we can all learn from.

Hope you take the time to “think” about what he says.

In my background—the reality is, our path is the design of Antonio Gramsci, right down the letter—but perhaps you’ll see it more clearly in his words.

I found this in Ramparts360 and felt I had to share.

Our spiraling downward progression toward progressivism‏ by Dan Short

I find it interesting that in our lives. We experience moments that are wonderful and yet bittersweet at the same time. Today I experienced just such a thing.

 

I have a granddaughter that is in the fourth grade. She is an exceptional academic student. Her ability to write; and her insights are pretty amazing. The research she does for a fourth grader is impressive for a college student, let alone a fourth grader.

She had written a story of her research on chimpanzees. My son of course being a good father reviewed her article. He was very impressed with her article until he got to the final sentence. What she had written; that the greatest danger to chimpanzees was man.

Now the one thing that my son knew was she hadn’t found such insanity in any of her research. Thus realizing the last thing creating danger for chimpanzees is man. Realizing that his daughter also knew this; my son questioned her, did she really believe that was true?

Obama has A Classic Narcissistic Personality Disorder‏ from James Clements

Narcissism in the Political Arena

By Dr. H. Lawrence Zillmer

 

A Narcissistic Personality Disorder is characterized by many behavior patterns, including superficial glibness and charm, a grandiose sense of self worth, pathological lying, cunning manipulative practices, lack of remorse or guilt for problems created, a callous lack of empathy, and a failure to accept responsibility for their own actions. (Hare Psychopathy Checklist) NPD is a pathological condition, a sickness which affects both the individual and their entire social setting.  It is a psychotic condition with a very low rate of the individual changing fundamental behavior.  Since many affected with NPD become leaders, they represent a very serious threat to community well being.  Let us examine the characteristics one by one.
