My comments yesterday about Tony Judt I posted both here and on Majority Rights. Unlike most of his posters, the blog-owner at Majority Rights has a good sense of humour so he put up a response to my post on Judt that gave me a good laugh: "Euro-coffeeists like Judt are Nazis. Coffeeism is morally reprehensible and personally limiting. It has no place in a decent, progressive society where all the coffees of the world are equally celebrated. Fortunately, coffeeism is a social construct, like everything else. Ergo, we liberals can insist that Mr Judt frees himself from it and sees the native American coffee for the coffee it really is".

Leftist lying never stops. Germany is going to ban rallies by the allegedly "Right-wing" NPD. Yet the NPD is an anti-capitalist, pro-Green party! Read some of an interview with their party chairman here if you doubt it. The NPD undoubtedly have a soft spot for Hitler but seeing he had similar policies to theirs, that is hardly surprising.

Michelle Malkin has a wrap up of "Easongate", the latest triumph of the blogosphere over the lying mainstream media. There's an announcement of Eason Jordan's resignation from CNN here that tries its best to sanitize what he said. My most recent comment on him is here. I am glad to have been a small part of the "pajama" brigade.

A small step forward: "The Senate approved a measure Thursday to help shield businesses from major class action lawsuits like the ones that have been brought against tobacco companies, giving President Bush the first legislative victory of his second term. Under the legislation, long sought by big business, large multistate class action lawsuits could no longer be heard in small state courts. Such courts have handed out multimillion-dollar verdicts. Instead, the cases would be heard by federal judges, who have not proven as open to those type of lawsuits. The Senate passed the bill 72-26. It now goes to the House."

More global warming: "Greg Hunt, MP, Parliamentary Secretary with ministerial responsibility for the Australian Bureau of Meteorology, said today that Victoria's weather records would need a new chapter following unprecedented weather in the past 24 hours. "Victoria has experienced extreme weather during the past 24 hours, with all-time rainfall records tumbling, very cold temperatures for this time of the year, and very strong winds," Mr Hunt said."

Some Hollywood types can see reality: "Actress Jane Seymour waived a small US flag and cheered after she and about 9,000 other immigrants became US citizens during a naturalisation ceremony in Los Angeles today. The British-born actress who once lived in a mansion near Bath and is best known for her TV series Dr Quinn, Medicine Woman, said she has been in the United States since 1976. "I've realised that I've been living here longer than in my home country. America has given me unbelievable opportunities," she said. "I realised that with the US elections I wanted to vote and I couldn't. I felt the time had come to participate more fully."

My latest posting on MarxWords notes that Engels claimed that Germans were a superior race. Yes, that was Engels, not Hitler. My latest posting on "A scripture blog" is about Ludwig von Mises and his views on the churches.

That power only, not principles, is what matters to Leftists is perfectly shown by the 2004 Kerry campaign. They put up a man whose policies seemed to be 99% the same as George Bush's even though the Left have previously disagreed violently with those policies. "Whatever it takes" is their rule.

Leftists are phonies. For most of them all that they want is to sound good. They don't care about doing good. That's why they do so much harm. They don't really care what the results of their policies are as long as they are seen as having good intentions.

The Big Lie of the late 20th century was that Nazism was Rightist. It was in fact typical of the Leftism of its day. It was only to the Right of Stalin's Communism. The very word "Nazi" is a German abbreviation for "National Socialist"
