Nazis In Greece Again!

Posted on May 9, 2013 by | Leave a comment

Among the mysteries of modern Europe is emergence of neo-Nazi parties in nations that once were invaded and destroyed by German Nazis. German Nazis murdered hundreds of thousands of Greeks and seventy years later their descendants want to dress like a Nazi and give a Nazi salute! Athens Mayor George Kaminis was handng out Easter gifts when a horde of Neo-Nazi thugs stormed in and began attacking people. They were led by MP George Germenis, a member of the neo-Nazi Golden Dawn Party. Germenis pulled out a gun and waved it around and then threw a punch at the mayor, unfortunately, his blow his a twelve year old girl.

The Golden Dawn party hates Jews, it hates Africans, it hates Muslims, but it does not hate Nazis. Is there something wrong with Greeks holding as their model Nazis who murdered their ancestors? I await a black American organization which wants to return to the good old days when white folk had slaves!

Sharia Law Not OK In Bangladesh

Posted on May 6, 2013 by | Leave a comment

In 2017, we will recall the 500 anniversary of the birth of Protestantism. It was five hundred years ago that European Christians battled and killed one another for at least a hundred years over the question of  religion. Although the wars ended, religious controversy continued for a few more hundred years and the Holocaust simply was the final end of killing people in Europe over religion. Oops, I forgot that  in the  1990s religious war in Serbia and Bosnia led to the death  of several thousand. So, is it shocking to learn religious conflict is alive and well in Bangladesh?

Islamist activists in Bangladesh want to impose Sharia law but the ruling Awami party does not want any part of  fostering religious hatred. Sharia law folk clashed with the government and fifteen died. Oh well, it took Europeans a  few hundred years to end religious disputes and, most probably, this attitude is still alive in areas of Europe. We can only welcome  Bangladesh to the  parade of hate.

Dress Code Anyone?

Posted on May 1, 2013 by | Leave a comment

The issue of dress continues to be controversial, particularly when females are concerned.  Orthodox Muslim and Jewish females insist on the need to cover their heads in order to be religious. The Supreme Court of Denmark ruled ths Netto company has the right to forbid its employees from wearing anything on their heads unless it was necessary for hygiene purposes. Nada Fraije, a Muslim female wanted to wear something on her head. I have mixed feelings on this issue. In the US Army they do not allow anyone to wear anything other than a uniform. Baseball players wear uniforms and they can not simply wear whatever they desire.

My problem is the concept that God worries about having people cover their heads-oops sorry, He worries about women, more than men, wearing head coverings. I don’t think God gives a damn if someone wears or does not wear anything. The only concern of God is the mind and hearts of people. He wants caring, loving folk and if they do not cover their heads, He certainly is not bothered.

Ukranian Justice-Ain’t

Posted on May 1, 2013 by | Leave a comment

My father was born and raised in the Ukraine so I am familiar with what passes for justice in that interesting land. During the German invasion in 1941 a lot of Ukranians joined in terror activity against Jews. The Ukraine got its independence and, nor suprisingly, the old totalitarian attitude arose. Yulia Tymoshenko lost an election to President Viktor Yanukovych and the man of democracy quickly placed her  on trial–or what passes for a trial in the Ukraine. She was found guilty of spending too much money while a government official. If spending too much money as a government official is a crime, we can place thousands of government officials in jail.

The European Court ruled the detention of Tymoshenko was a travesty of justice. The action was “arbitray, the  lawfulness of her detention had not been properly reviewed, and she had no possiblity of compensation for her unlawful deprivation of liberty.” Sorry, I am not shocked at lack of freedom in the Ukraine.

Sex In Kindergarten?

Posted on April 26, 2013 by | Leave a comment

In olden times, Germans were noted for being very conservative and sort of up tight. However, a new sex-education book designed to be used in elementary schools has aroused the interest of parents. The book, “Wo Kommist du her?-”Where Do You Come From” offers rather interesting information for the ordinary five year old child. The book shows a couple in various stages of sexual arousal and sweet little Lisa gently places a condom on the erect penis of darling Lars, the boy for all seasons. Actually, another picture depicts the kids having a little sex before lunch.

As Lisa comments to Lars as they engage in an orgasm, “When it’s so good that it can’t get any better. The vagina and penis feel nice and tingly and warm.” For some reason parents raised objections to their kids understanding what mom and dad do at night. Me, please enroll me in a Berlin elementary school. Maybe, I will learn something useful.

An Apology?

Posted on April 26, 2013 by | Leave a comment

It is  difficult being an inhabitant of the planet Earth to get through a single day without encountering evidence of human depravity. During the 1990s as the nation of Yugoslavia began to splinter into smaller pieces a vicious war broke out between Christian Serba and Muslim Bosnians. A particular event in the Bosnian enclave of Srebrenica resulted in the murder of 8,000 Muslims by Christian Serbian forces. Serbian President Tomislav Nikolic has refused to acknowlege this masscre until yesterday. “I apologize for the crimes committed by any individual  in the name of our state and our people.” But, he also insisted, “there was no genocide in Srebrenica.”

I assume when a government rounds up only Muslim men and proceeds to murder them it is clear this government seeks to murder any and all Muslim men it can find. I think it is fascinating when Christians murder people their religion is never cited, only their nationality. But, when someone of the Muslim faith is guilty of murder, their religion, not their nationality, is cited.

Economic Growth-Conservative Style

Posted on April 26, 2013 by | Leave a comment

During the past election Mr. Romney and Mr. Ryan insisted that  cutting government expenditures and reducing taxes on the poor wealthy folk of the nation would ensure economic prosperity to the entire nation. George Osborne, speaking for the Conservative government of David Cameron boasted the British economy had expanded by 0.3% and that good times were coming. Of course, unemployment is about 10% and at no time since austerity began has the economy grown by 1%. Ordinarily, if an economy grows at a 2% rate it should hit 10% over a five year time  period.

The David Cameron Conservative model has witnessed a CONTRACTION of 2.5% over this time period. Of course, the Obama plan has witnessed a growth in jobs and a growth in the economy. Now, if only Barack would listen to David, America could have a prosperous contracting economy!

Gender Inequality OK

Posted on April 20, 2013 by | Leave a comment

Mitt Romney and members of the Tea Party can sleep peacefully tonight because in Germany an attempt was beaten back that would have mandated female membership on Board of Directors. The proposed law would require that any German corporation have a legal gender quota that ensures women are represented on boards of directors. Chancellor Angela Merkel and her Christian Democratic Union (CDU) beat back efforts by Social Democrats to bring democracy to the world of corporations. The CDU and Greens wanted at least 30% of Board seats held by women.

Ah, I can hear complaints about things not being fair since how does society know there are sufficient numbers of women qualified for such work? Mitt Romney was not a woman, Mitt Romney got money and contacts and aid by his millionaire dad  that ensured once out of college, he was headed straight for the top. Or, George Bush got a legacy entry into the Ivy League. When wealthy kids get preference it is not affirmative action, just law of life in action.

Good Old Iron Age Days

Posted on April 18, 2013 by | Leave a comment

We modern day humans so enjoy boasting of our military prowess which we associate with being up to date in human progress. A new graveyard has been found in France which contains the bodies and ornaments of Celtic warriors who once inhabited the nation now known as France. Along with warrior graves are those of women wearing ornaments and jewellery including necklaces that speak of their high status in society. These people were buried between 325 to 260 B.C.

Ah, in the  good old barbarian days they did not have death camps or use crematoriums to murder the innocent. They just whacked their enemies, chopped off a few heads and had a pleasant mela. Ah, the good old days of warfare.

Clown Time In Italy

Posted on April 15, 2013 by | Leave a comment

I am an inhabitant of the United States of America in the year 2013 so I hestiate making any saracastic remarks concerning political leaders in other nations. I live in a nation in which the Republican party insists that if one reduces taxes it results in more jobs for all and enables the government to balance its budget. So, why is it suprising that Italians believe a skirt chasing incompetent like Silvio Berlusconi who led Italy into an economic disaster is now the man who will bring prosperity to the land? Latest polls show that his coalition would receive 30% of the vote if an election were held right now. Of course, his numbers just barely exceed those of the Five Star Movement which is headed by an ex-clown.

Perhaps, we can make a deal. We Americans will take one clown in exchange for a hundred clowns in the House of Representatives who belong to the clowns known as the Tea Party. Heck, we will even throw in a  guy who chops wood in Texas.
