Labour MPs are shocked that it is their own voters who have turned to the BNP. They are shocked because it is a mantra of the left that it stands in heroic and historic opposition to fascism. This is untrue. Both fascism and communism have their roots in counter-Enlightenment, obscurantist thinking which replaced reason by emotion, Judeo-Christian ethics by paganism, and the rejection of the primacy of the individual in favour of collectively imposed authority. Read Ze’ev Sternhell’s classic work, Neither Right Nor Left: Fascist Ideology in France to get the picture.
Not for nothing were the Nazis called ’national socialists’. In similar fashion, the BNP fuse ultra-nationalism and racism with economic ideas which would sit well on the left of the Labour party. It is more helpful, and more accurate, to regard the BNP as opportunists. In the tradition of all fascist and neo-fascist parties, they prey upon a decaying body politic by taking up genuine grievances which are of overwhelming concern to the public but which, for one reason or another, mainstream politics is ignoring. By doing so, they serve to camouflage their own anti-democratic and noxious ideology.
Read the whole thing.

What National Socialists related in anyway to the left? Charles “Pony Boy” Johnson will denounce you Dan. You are obviously a right wing extremist and cannot be trusted.
Yeah? Well, maybe Pony Boy should watch this.
Dan,
O/T but you asked me yesterday about the contracter murder and today the Stars and Stripes had an article about it.
The murder occured in the Green zone and the body was found in his car tied up and blindfolded with stab wounds. Five Americans that worked for the same company are being held by Iraqi authorities. The FBI was involved in the search and investigation.
Thanks, Danger. It’s an awful story, and these interdigitating police and justice systems are worrisome.
#3 – do you know which company? I know some MPRI or folks somehow under PEO-STRI within CAATT – MNSTC-I. Are you with MNF-I or MNSTC-I?
Thanks Dan. Nice link to that opiate of the people stuff. Can’t let religion get in the way of worshiping the Dear Leader. Marx-Lenin started it, those Nazis really perfected it, Noko is doing its best on a knock off, and even our own O is trying to do that a bit. Heck even Lizoid Pony Boy has his own nest of drooling sycophants.
Melanie Phillips is lucky she ain’t have my microphone stand planted in her backside. Ever since I wrote In God’s Country the little strumpet been rippin’ me off. I’ll punch a hole right through her night, alright.
Someone ought to send this to Senator McCain and his poodle Lindsay.
Damn the stupidity, full speed ahead!
“… It is because it has turned attachment to national identity itself into a crime. Anyone who objects to multi-culturalism is called a bigot; anyone who wants to curb immigration is called a racist; anyone who objects to the Islamisation of Britain is called an Islamophobe; anyone who wants to leave the EU and regain the power of national self-government is called a xenophobe; anyone, in short, who wants to retain Britain’s national identity rooted in the shared particulars of religion, law, history, traditions and culture and its powers as a self-governing nation finds themselves ostracised as a pariah.
Voters have been told in effect that there is nothing standing between national suicide on the one hand and racism on the other…”
Sound familiar to anyone..?
Might help if the references to Islam are changed to Mexico and South America…
All these people seeing Obama-as-god are starting to worry me a bit…
But then, I’m a God-botherer anyway…
Must have been reading too much Revelation lately…
[…] know what they say: Beauty’s only skin deep, but ugliness . . . […]
“The nation-wrecking ideology of multiculturalism and the Marxist redefinition of racial prejudice into racism – ‘prejudice plus power ‘– which have turned our society inside out are the product of the left. However, haunted by its own past shading-off at the fringes into ultra-nationalism, prejudice and antisemitism the Conservative party has been at pains to show itself plus royal que le roi by signing up to multiculturalism and running a mile from the issues of immigration…”
Hmmmmm…Again, does this sound familiar to anyone..?
Paging, the RINO wing of the Republican party, Brooks, Noonan, Powell et al…
LTC John,
I work for CAFTT which falls under MNSTC-I as an Air Advisor for the Iraqi Air Force. I don’t believe the article stated what company the victim worked for but it did state his name.
I tried to find the article online but it isn’t there yet. I am about to go to the gym and will pick up another copy and let you know his name.
Danger – ah. I was in CAATT. My CHU-mate was an Air Force O-5 who worked in CAFTT as well. I hope your hours aren’t as absolutely insane as his were…
From what I gather, he’d been working as a contractor for 6 years and had recently formed his own construction company. More here.
I never thought that in my lifetime I’d see the Europeans electing governments that were less socialist than ours here in the US…
I’ve been saying for years that the Lefty stratagem of silencing all opposition with the “racist” epithet will eventually backfire, that once people realize the word now simply means “opposing leftism”, there is nothing left to describe those who believe one ethnic group is inherently superior to others, and that superiority justifies brutal oppression of the inferior breeds. Once you get to that point, having the latter sort of person in your party/coalition loses the stigma it would otherwise have (CJ’s Bizarro McCarthy guilt-by-association games notwithstanding). I also have predicted that when it happened, it would be like flipping a switch; suddenly a “fringe” party would start getting substantial numbers of votes.
Now the only question is whether it has come soon enough for a working majority to be built with leadership that excludes the real racists.
LTC John,
The murdered contractors name was Jim Kitterman. IRT the company name and suspects (From the Fox news article)
“An official of Corporate Training Unlimited, a Fayetteville, N.C.-based security company, told Associated Press that the five included Donald Feeney Jr., 55, who founded the company in 1986, his son Donald Feeney III, 31, and three other employees”.
IRT your question about my hours; so far it isn’t too bad. I work six 12 hour days a week (including meals), the 0-5 I work for has it a little tougher, I don’t believe he has a day off.
Of course I just got here and have not been given any large projects yet.
Melanie Philips? That no good creationist? I’m just wondering how she continues to operate from underneath Charlie Johnson’s bus. Hasn’t she heard?
Can’t be done. The real racists exist, and they’re going to vote for somebody. This is the fact underlying the Left’s use of “racist” to damage or denigrate (!) any opponents, and it’s the ultimate value to us — as the Left extends “racist” farther and farther, it loses its sting even when applied to the real thing.
Regards,
Ric
Beware the ensuing ugliness Man-God disappoints his followers.
The way to regain the ground lost to the BNP is quite simple – return to the old-style of law-and-order. Those who rob, who assault, who burgle are sent to ‘over-crowd’ the prisons. Those who resist being robbed, assaulted, and burgled are protected. It may be counter-intuitive to some, but over-crowded prisons are a sign that the laws are being vigorously upheld.
Yes, furious, the natives are beginning to realize that their god is only a man, a man with feet of clay. When you lose the Gleens you gotta know that the fever swamp is draining. Hell hath no fury, etc.
From Hyksos Egypt to the European Parliament, history shows that when progressives shrill “You must choose! It’s them or us!”, people always, always choose “them”.
Okay, that’s weird my post was just eaten. But you don’t get off that easily.
Here’s a bit of interesting news, via the InstaPundit. Seems that in the New York Senate, of all places, defectors have left the Dems and gone over to the Dark Side, taking control of the Senate with them. It wouldn’t take very many blue dogs in the US Senate deciding they’d rather switch than be tarred with the libtards to upset Duh One’s whole wormy apple cart.
Interesting times we live in.
[And now watch my original post reappear when I post this. Stupid computers.]
“tarred with the libtards financial disaster” I should have said.
I don’t think the election of 2 BNP members to the European Parliament is, in itself, all that big a deal, as there are plenty of whackos already in residence. I do agree with Mel Phillips, though, that having the BNP pinch votes from Labour is a very big deal. All the usual excuses and finger pointing towards the Tories as closet racists cease to apply. Heads explode. Good times.
