Kevin Gershwin and Julian Willard’s 'Siren Song' a Smash Hit Now Into Third Year!

The pivotal dramatic scene in 'Siren Song'. Lyrics and music by Kevin Gershwin [no relation] and starring Julian Willard as The Spinster, the lead 'Bird Woman' of The Sirens.

After yesterday’s explosive Christmas matinee which left them "laying in the isles" according to Search and Rescue Gazette, and with audiences screaming about the most "stunning performance" by the lead that they have ever witnessed, the combined talent's of Julian Willard and Kevin Gershwin have gone from rumour to Greek myth.

The lyrics and book of 'Siren' were originally written by Kevin Gershwin as a one man act, until Willard contributed her unique voice to the libretto. As Psychology Today stated: "this show" has an "unbelievable soliloquy, among many by the leading lady." 'Siren Song' has now run for over three years since opening in November 2007, bringing in ever more people and according to the entertainment bible Venality, “by the boat load.”

It displaced the previous eleven-year run hit of ‘No Showboat’, a tragedy starring Howard Keel as the unassuming accountant who attempts to transform a quiet backwater of predictable song and chorus ensembles, into a semi-paradise for solo voices. While ‘John’, Howard’s character ultimately fails, in exile he eventually finds a kind of redemption.

The “groundbreaking performance” as Marine Salvage Journal has called it of 'Siren', has left some critics confused such as David Marr known for his catchphrase “I can’t believe its butter!” Said Marr in a theatre toilet cubicle immediately after yesterday’s performance:

“I hate songs like ‘In the Navy’, even though that song wasn’t in it. I blame the Navy for this. Sometimes I look inside the back of my TV set and I find a banana. I don’t know why I’m here.”

Unless unforeseen events in the fickle world of showbiz decide otherwise, Kevin Gershwin's and Julian Willard's outstanding achievement in 'Siren Song' is set for a very long and deservedly successful run indeed.

Mediocrity is its own reward.

General George S. Patton.

"There is only one tactical principle which is not subject to change. It is to use the means at hand to inflict the maximum amount of wound, death, and destruction on the enemy in the minimum amount of time. All men are timid on entering any fight. Whether it is the first or the last fight, all of us are timid. Cowards are those who let their timidity get the better of their manhood. No bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country. Moral courage is the most valuable and usually the most absent characteristic in men. By perseverance, study, and eternal desire, any man can become great. If everybody is thinking alike, then somebody isn't thinking. May God have mercy upon my enemies, because I won't. Say what you mean and mean what you say.”

General Curtis LeMay.

"Kill enough of them and they stop fighting. If you are going to use military force, then you ought to use overwhelming military force. Use too much and deliberately use too much; you'll save lives, not only your own, but the enemy's too. I had blood upon my hands as I did this, but not because I preferred to bathe in blood. It was because I was part of a primitive world where men still had to kill in order to avoid being killed, or in order to avoid having their beloved Nation stricken and emasculated."

A voice from Imperial Rome.

“A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself.

For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear".

Marcus Tullius Cicero. 45 BC.

BigFurHat at The Peoples Cube com: 'TRUE TRUE TRUE story. I used to post on IMDB and for a long time I had an actual quote from a debater as my sig line. I lifted it from a debate I was having with a [left] liberal about tolerance. The liberal said, AND I QUOTE.. "Just because I have no patience for other people's stupid views doesn't mean I am intolerant." I shit you not.

They derisively mock the notion of "peace through strength" and yet they justify their violence, civil disobedience, domestic terrorism, etc, by saying "our cause is just." Ohhhhhhhh..I see. This is the "intelligentsia" talking.'

"... the very cannibalism of the counterrevolution will convince the nations that there is only one way in which the murderous death agonies of the old society and the bloody birth throes of the new society can be shortened, simplified and concentrated, and that way is revolutionary terror."- Karl Marx ("The Victory of the Counter-Revolution in Vienna," Neue Rheinische Zeitung, November 7, 1848)

"I come to the inescapable conclusion that we must now launch the most decisive and merciless battle against the Black Hundreds clergy and crush their resistance with such ferocity that they will not forget it for several decades...

"GENOCIDAL ECO-MANIACS: Everyone's favourite comment on the eco-fascists is, or should be, that of President Vaclav Klaus of the Czech Republic: "What is at risk is not the climate but freedom…I see the biggest threat to freedom, democracy, the market economy and prosperity now in ambitious environmentalism, not in communism. This ideology wants to replace the free and spontaneous evolution of mankind by a sort of central (now global) planning.."

But I wondered if you were also familiar with this wonderful passage from C.S. Lewis:

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.”

Apart from amending this to "the SUPPOSED good of its victims", I'd say that pretty much covers it, wouldn't you? Ted. London, United Kingdom.

The Left defines itself through a short list of mindless talking points and by being “against” various and sundry. These sources are quickly depleted, leaving an inherent intellectual vacuum. There is nothing of substance to sustain interest or dialog, and there are only so many ways to say, “Bush is evil.”

Even die-hard true believers will wander away eventually, and the remainder of the public won’t ever bother because it’s all been said before."

'Actual quote from Obama's book “The Audacity of Hope” [pg. 261]:

"Of course, not all my conversations in immigrant communities follow this easy pattern. In the wake of 9/11, my meetings with Arab and Pakistani Americans, for example, have a more urgent quality, for the stories of detentions and FBI questioning and hard stares from neighbors have shaken their sense of security and belonging.

They have been reminded that the history of immigration in this country has a dark underbelly; they need specific assurances that their citizenship really means something, that America has learned the right lessons from the Japanese internments during World War II, and that I will stand with them should the political winds shift in an ugly direction."

"Actually, John Wayne was a very good friend of Jimmy Stewart, and was there when Jimmy needed him most. I am most reminded of a story that I believe Stewart himself told during a "Tonight Show" interview in the late seventies:

Stewart's stepson Ronald, a Marine, was killed in June 1969 in Vietnam. Stewart was devastated, and as anyone who knows that time period, very aware of the stigma which the nation had attached to those who served in that war. Shortly after his stepson's death, Stewart and John Wayne stepped out of a building close to the Berkley campus only to find themselves on the outskirts of a massive anti-war demonstration.

In the middle of this unwashed, unruly throng a Viet Cong flag proudly waved. Stewart saw it, and so did John Wayne; then, according to Jimmy Stewart, Wayne did a remarkable thing. He turned to Stewart and told him he'd "be right back".

Wayne then disappeared into the gyrating mass. Stewart related that even though he couldn't see Wayne, he could tell EXACTLY where Wayne was in the crowd from the silence that evidently followed his path - and it lead straight to the Viet Cong flag. A big hand reached up, PULLED down the flag, then disappeared yet again, this time leaving silence spreading behind it - and when John Wayne appeared, he was carrying the balled-up Viet Cong flag in his hands..."

"Duke tried to enlist but was rejected because of an old football injury to his shoulder, his age (34), and his status as a married father of four. He flew to Washington to plead that he be allowed to join the Navy but was turned down.

We’ve been watching him ah, really for, he’s not that over, for as long as he’s been active out of Oakland and all of the ways that he has, the creative ideas that he has and so now we have captured and we have all of that energy and enthusiasm in the Whitehouse, so..”

"I studied the Quran a great deal. I came away from that study with the conviction that by and large there have been few religions in the world as deadly to men as that of Muhammad.

So far as Ican see, it is the principal cause of the decadence so visible today in the Muslim world and, though less absurd than the polytheism of old, its social and political tendencies are in my opinion more to be feared, and I therefore regard it as a form of decadence rather than a form of progress in relation to paganism itself." Alex DeToqueville 1805 to 1859.

And I want you to know, now, you can think whatever you want to about Fidel Castro, but he was one of the brightest leaders I have ever met. [APPLAUSE]

And you know, the Cuban revolution that kicked out the wealthy, Che Guevara did that, and then, after they took over, they went out among the population to find someone who could lead this new nation, and they found…well, just leave it there (laughs), an attorney by the name of Fidel Castro…"

Obama’s economic advisor Thomas Friedman: “One-party autocracy certainly has its drawbacks...But when it is led by a reasonably enlightened group of people, as China is today, it can also have great advantages. That one party can just impose the politically difficult but critically important policies needed to move a society forward in the 21st century. Our one-party democracy is worse.”

Devil's Advocate: "Have you ever wondered who owns Big Oil? When you think of "Big Oil," who owns the stock? What percentage is owned by the corporate executives?80%? 60%? 50%? No, the answer is 1.5%!! Guess who really owns "Big Oil."41% is owned by pension plans and retirement accounts. So when liberals in the MSM tell you that average Americans do not have an interest in "Big Oil" and stocks, they are flat-out wrong.43% is owned by Mutual funds - small investors owned by you and me."

Van Jones, like the treasonous criminal and parasite Bill Ayers who is the rich spoiled son of a rich man, is an affluent Marxist poseur : “I was accepted to both places, and decided to go to Yale because Yale didn’t have any grades and was smaller than Harvard.

Politico 2007 interview with Obama’s eugenicist, socialist, collectivist Malthusian science czar John Holdren, who neither understands nor love America: “There has been a strain of what many people call “US exceptionalism” in the United States, the notion that the United States is so big, so important, so powerful, so technologically advanced that it can and should do what it wants. I think this strain is misguided.

Q: Will Americans need to reduce their living standards? Is that politically viable, or will technology [unintelligible] do it?

Holdren: I think ultimately that the rate of growth of material consumption is going to have to come down, and there’s going to have to be a degree of redistribution of how much we consume, in terms of energy and material resources, in order to leave room for people who are poor to become more prosperous.

"The spread of Islam is military. There is a tendency to apologize for this and we should not. It is one of the injunctions of the Koran that you must fight for the spreading of Islam." Dr. Ali Issa Othman (Palestinian sociologist), quoted by Charis Waddy inThe Muslim Mind, Longmans, London, 1976.

“Islam, as we know, is part of America,” Barack Obama at a White House dinner celebrating the Islamic holy month of Ramadan.

‘President Barack Obama highlighted the contributions made by Muslims to American culture and the “dynamism and diversity” of the Islamic community. “Together we have a responsibility to foster engagement grounded in mutual interest and mutual respect.”

“That’s one of my fundamental commitments as president both at home and abroad,” Obama said. “That is central to the new beginning that I’ve sought between the United States and Muslims around the world and that is a commitment that we can renew once again during this holy season.”

The dinner, held in the State Dining Room, brought together members of Congress, Cabinet members, diplomatic officials and community leaders from a spectrum of countries and religions.

Among those invited to the White House on Tuesday night are the ambassadors from most major Muslim countries like Afghanistan, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Iraq and Turkey, as well as envoys from nations with significant Muslim populations like Israel, Germany, India, Britain and France. Also on the invitation list is the chief of mission of the Palestinian Liberation Organization.’ Sept 01 2009.

"Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, Religion and Morality are indispensable supports. In vain would that man claim the tribute of Patriotism who should labor to subvert these great pillars of human happiness, these firmest props of the duties of Men and Citizens.

Juergen Habermas, a veteran leftist German philosopher stunned his admirers not long ago by proclaiming, "Christianity, and nothing else, is the ultimate foundation of liberty, conscience, human rights, and democracy, the benchmarks of Western civilization.

"Volume 5, Book 58, Number 234 Narrated Aisha: "The Prophet engaged me when I was a girl of six (years). We went to Medina and stayed at the home of Bani-al-Harith bin Khazraj. Then I got ill and my hair fell down. Later on my hair grew (again) and my mother, Um Ruman, came to me while I was playing in a swing with some of my girl friends.

She called me, and I went to her, not knowing what she wanted to do to me. She caught me by the hand and made me stand at the door of the house. I was breathless then, and when my breathing became Alright, she took some water and rubbed my face and head with it. Then she took me into the house.

There in the house I saw some Ansari women who said, "Best wishes and Allah's Blessing and a good luck." Then she entrusted me to them and they prepared me (for the marriage). Unexpectedly Allah's Apostle came to me in the forenoon and my mother handed me over to him, and at that time I was a girl of nine years of age.

"Ever since the religion of Islam appeared in the world, the espousers of it...have been as wolves and tigers to all other nations, rending and tearing all that fell into their merciless paws, and grinding them with their iron teeth; that numberless cities are raised from the foundation, and only their name remaining; that many countries, which were once as the garden of God, are now a desolate wilderness; and that so many once numerous and powerful nations are vanished from the earth!

‘In a quiet event [it would be..] during an otherwise well-publicized visit to Los Angeles this week, U.S. Atty. Gen. Eric Holder Jr. reached out to local Muslim American youths, [THEY never have to reach out to us do they and they never do..]

‘..calling on them to work with the government to fight violent extremism,’ [meaning gee, not Islam but some mysterious people who have misunderstood Mohammad the pedophile mass murdering rapist's message of "I triumph through terror"] ‘..and pledging that the Justice Department would reinvigorate enforcement of civil rights and work to advance religious freedom.’

[Ah, so much codespeak. Religious freedom means an Islamic free and how do we deal with Muslims relentlessly wanting to murder us while denying it’s ALL ABOUT the fraud of PC multiculticsm and golly, the filth of ISLAM itself.]

"For American Muslims specifically, these are times that pose serious civil rights and civil liberties challenges," Holder told the crowd, according to a copy of prepared remarks.’ [Gee, and I thought Muslims murdered 3,000 people in New York and were waging asymmetrical war against Israel and the West etc, now under relentless stealth Jihad.. Apparently Muslims are you know, suffering. Can't sleeper cell at night...It must be the screams of beheading vids eminating from the loungeroom..]

‘Earlier this year, a coalition of the nation's largest Muslim organizations’ [read as Saudi, Syrian, Iranian and Lybian funded jihadist front groups] ‘..issued a statement demanding that the Obama administration address FBI actions, including what they described as the "infiltration of mosques," the use of "agent provocateurs to trap unsuspecting Muslim youth" and the "deliberate vilification" of one of the nation's largest Muslim civil rights organizations.’

[They mean CAIR, the Muslim Brotherhood launched and Saudi funded pro-terrorist, convicted and unindicted co-conspirator fraud group.]‘The meeting, which was closed to the media,’ [it makes no difference if it was open to the media] ‘.. was held Thursday evening at the Omar Ibn Al Khattab Foundation, a mosque and community center near USC, said Dafer Dakhil, the foundation's director.

President George W. Bush 7 October 2005:

“Please be seated. Thank you. Welcome to the White House.

This is the fifth year in a row that it's been my honor to host an Iftaar in the State Dining Room. Our distinguished guests represent the millions of Muslims that we're proud to call Americans, and many Islamic nations are represented here that America is proud to call friend.

We welcome the representatives from many countries with large Muslim populations. I want to thank you all for coming to celebrate an honored tradition of the Muslim faith, and wish you a, "Ramadan Mubarak." I want to thank those in my administration who have joined us. I want to thank the Imam for joining us today, and thank you for leading us in prayer after these short remarks.

I want to thank all the ambassadors from the Organization of the Islamic Conference [Countries] . I welcome other members of the Diplomatic Corps. And I want to thank the Muslim -- American Muslim leaders who are with us today. Thanks for taking time out to celebrate this important dinner. Ramadan is the holiest time of the Muslim year.

According to Islamic teaching, this month commemorates the revelation of God's word to the Prophet Muhammad in the form of the Koran. For more than a billion Muslims, Ramadan is a time of heartfelt prayer and togetherness. It is a time of fasting and personal sacrifice. It's a time to give thanks for God's blessings through works of charity.

One Muslim leader said: "It's a national and Islamic obligation to assist one's neighbors when they are in need." The American people saw that spirit as we recovered from Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. The world sees that spirit, that compassion of Islam, through the countless acts of kindness following the recent earthquake in southeast -- in South Asia.

America is fortunate to count such good-hearted men and women among our fellow citizens. We have great respect for the commitment that all Muslims make to faith, family, and education. And Americans of many backgrounds seek to learn more about the rich tradition of Islam.

To promote greater understanding between our cultures, I have encouraged American families to travel abroad, to visit with Muslim families. And I have encouraged American families to host exchange students from the Muslim world. I have asked young Americans to study the language and customs of the broader Middle East. And for the first time in our nation's history, we have added a Koran to the White House Library.”

[Excellent.. Sadly George has objectively learnt and understood nothing beyond how to swallow and regurgitate whole the Islamic stealth jihad of al taquiyaa, kithman and dawa..]

The World Wildlife Fund (WWF) was formed, Sept. 11, 1961 in Morges, Switzerland by Sir Julian Huxley. Julian Huxley, was also the British Eugenics Society president from 1954-1962.

"[E]ven though it is quite true that any radical eugenic policy will be for many years politically and psychologically impossible, it will be important for UNESCO to see that the eugenic problem is examined with the greatest care, and that the public mind is informed of the issues at stake so that much that now is unthinkable may at least become thinkable." Sir Julian Huxley, first director general of UNESCO (1946-1948).

The radical eugenics policy's that Huxley hoped would become thinkable were -Nazi abuses, such as enforced racial hygiene, human experimentation, and the extermination of “undesired” population groups.'

Prince Bernhard, of the Netherlands, served as the first president of the fund from 1962-1976.. He not only founded the Bilderberg group.. Bernhard is also a former Nazi SS officer.

HRH Duke of Edinburgh (Prince Philip) was also a president of the WWF from 1981-1996. He stated more than once that: "In the event that I am reincarnated, I would like to return as a deadly virus, in order to contribute something to solve overpopulation." [His amazingly stupid son, Prince Charles, is a radical environmentalist and very much THE elite, dimwitted PC dhimmi, multiculti suicide fan of Islam and all its monstrous works.]

Prince Bernard was forced to resign in late 1976 as a result of the Lockheed Scandal..that rocked the Royal Family in 1976 when it was revealed that Prince Bernhard had accepted a US$1.1 million bribe from U.S. aircraft manufacturer Lockheed Corporation to influence the Dutch government’s purchase of fighter aircraft. Later it was also revealed:

In 1988, Prince Bernhard and Princess Juliana sold two paintings from their personal collection to raise money for the World Wildlife Fund. The paintings sold for GBP700 000, which was deposited in a Swiss WWF bank account.

In 1989, however, Charles de Haes, director-general of the WWF, transferred GBP500 000 back to Bernhard, for what De Haes called a private project. In 1991, newspapers reported what this private project was: Prince Bernhard had hired mercenaries – mostly British – to fight against poachers in nature reserves.

He was succeeded in 1976 by John Loudon till 1981. Loudon was the former CEO of Royal Dutch Shell, and chairman of Shell Oil Co.'

Meanwhile back at the Whitehouse, Obama's Science and Technology czar John Holdren writes the following in his book: “The neo-Malthusian view proposes population limitation and redistribution of wealth..On these points we find ourselves firmly in the neo-Malthusian camp..

Moreover, if the United States refuses to take proper measures, they authorise the UN to take compelling force..

Indeed, it has been concluded that compulsory population-control laws, even including laws requiring compulsory abortion, could be sustained under the existing Constitution..One way to carry out this disapproval might be to insist that all illegitimate babies be put up for adoption ..

Involuntary fertility control..A program of sterilizing women after their second or third child, despite the relatively greater difficulty of the operation than vasectomy, might be easier to implement than trying to sterilize men..

Why should the law not be able to prevent a person from having more than two children?

“Toward a Planetary Regime.. agencies, combined with UNEP and the United Nations population agencies, might eventually be developed into a Planetary Regime—sort of an international superagency for population, resources, and environment.

..a comprehensive Planetary Regime could control the development, administration, conservation, and distribution of all natural resources, renewable or non-renewable.. the Regime could have the power to control pollution not only in the atmosphere and oceans, but also in such freshwater bodies as rivers and lakes that cross international boundaries or that discharge into the oceans..

..a logical central agency for regulating all international trade, perhaps including assistance from DCs to LDCs, and including all food on the international market. The Planetary Regime might be given responsibility for determining the optimum population for the world and for each region and for arbitrating various countries' shares within their regional limits.

Control of population size might remain the responsibility of each government, but the Regime would have some power to enforce the agreed limits.

If this could be accomplished, security might be provided by an armed international organization, a global analogue of a police force.” Obama’s new Science and Technology Policy Director John Holdren writing in his book.

JFK's father Joe Kennedy was worth 500 million dollars in 1969. He got that money and the power that came with it to get his spoiled profoundly corrupt son into the Presidency, through often front group investments, tax avoidance, illegal liquor and gambling, and via massive bribery and payoffs, intimidation, corruption, crime and organised crime, treason and nepotism on a vast scale, including FDR and his son, thousands of corrupt officials, police, sheriffs, journalists and so on ad nauseum.

Funny how much Democrat happy trails virtually always go back to places like uber corrupt Chicago, and rotten people like Daley and his ilk ad nauseum, endless elite carpetbaggers, life long radicals, dirtbag wacko celebrities and so, so many more. It's a riot..

Obama continues this Democratic Party tradition of fraudulent misrepresentation of himself without serious criticism via a fawning press, while appointing his croney's and using his well learned radical methods, especially those of Saul Alinky's Rules For Radicals.

As FDR appointed his son James [a close Joe pal] to positions, so did JFK appoint his vicious, corrupt and temper driven brother Bobby to Attorney General with out complaint.

Joe bought with millions of dollars in bribes, the utterly fake, depraved and reckless JFK's Democratic nomination for President.

"German Foreign Ministry documents published aftr WWll, show that [Joe] Kennedy, without State Department approval, repeatedly sought a personal meeting with Hitler on the eve of the Nazi Blitzkrieg, "to bring about a better understanding between the United States and Germany."

On Joe Kennedy's attitudes, Herbert Von Dirksen, the German Ambassador reported to Berlin that "it was not so much the fact that we wanted to get rid of the Jews that was so harmful to us, but rather the loud clamour with which we accompanied this purpose. He [Joe Kennedy] understood our Jewish policy completely."

Kennedy tried hard to make a massive gold loan bribe to Hitler. No really. Kennedy made illegal copies of FDR and Churchill's talks, and threatened FDR with exposing these cables. No really.

While serving as wartime American Ambassador in London, "diplomats serving on the American Desk in the British Foreign Office, grew to fear and hate Kennedy." They compiled a dossier called the "Kennediana" file. Sir Robert Vansittart, undersecratary of the Foreign Office wrote in 1940: "Mr Kennedy is a very foul specimen of a double-crosser and defeatist. He thinks of nothing but his own pocket. I hope that this war will see the elimination of his type."

"Individual Jews are alright...but as a race they stink". Joe Kennedy.

Kennedy had exclusive rights to import and export alchohol into Britain. He often commandeered valuable shipping space and used his diplomatic transport services to move cash and evidence etc. READ The Dark Side Of Camelot by Seymour M. Hersh. No really.

David Rockefeller: "We are grateful to the Washington Post, the New York Times, Time Magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost forty years. It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subjected to the light of publicity during those years.

But now the world is more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The supra-national sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national auto-determination practiced in past centuries."

[David] Rockefeller writes on page 405 of his memoirs: "Some even believe we are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as 'internationalists' and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure - one world, if you will. If that is the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it."

"The system of banking [is] a blot left in all our Constitutions,which, if not covered, will end in their destruction...I sincerely believe that banking institutions are more dangerousthan standing armies; and that the principle of spending money tobe paid by posterity... is but swindling futurity on a large scale." Thomas Jefferson.

It is well enough that people of the nation do not understand our banking and monetary system, for if they did, I believe there would be a revolution before tomorrow morning.” Henry Ford.

'War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.' John Stuart Mill.

“And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: 17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.” Revelation 13:16.

"Whenever you hear the consensus of scientists agrees on something or other, reach for your wallet, because you're being had". Michael Crichton.

“We have just four months. Four months to secure the future of our planet. The world is looking to Korea for leadership. [CN: Hey, it always does!]

I'm glad that the Chairman of the forum and many other speakers have used my campaign slogan “Seal the Deal” in Copenhagen. I won't charge them loyalty." Ban Ki Moon the baboon and Chief UN Global Warming mega $cam gravy train conformist asshat and dumbass simpleton, August 11 2009.

"Few people are capable of expressing with equanimity opinions which differ from the prejudices of their social environment. Most people are even incapable of forming such opinions." Albert Einstein.

"The only thing you need to know about Communism and Socialism, was that you couldn't get a good Chinese takeaway in China and a good Cuban cigar in Cuba".

"Communism and Socialism are based entirely on murder, lies, envy, conformity, spite, immorality, an enforced mediocrity in all things, and an unlimited depravity and madness. Much like the mainstream media, Islam and pop music". Colonel Neville.

"Every hero becomes a bore at last". Ralph Waldo Emerson.

"What does a community organizer do? What he does not do is organize a community. What he organizes are the resentments and paranoia within a community, directing those feelings against other communities, from whom either benefits or revenge are to be gotten, using whatever rhetoric or tactics will accomplish that purpose.

To think that someone who has spent years promoting grievance and polarization was going to bring us all together as president is a triumph of wishful thinking over reality." Thomas Sowell.

"Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state, an intolerable one." Thomas Paine.

"Truth does not become more true by virtue of the fact that the entire world agrees with it, nor less so even if the whole world disagrees with it." Maimonides.

William. F. Buckley Jr. said that he would "rather be governed by the first 500 names in the Boston telephone directory than by the faculty at Harvard."

"I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting their labours under the pretence of taking care of them." Thomas Jefferson.

"In determining reality, Sherlock Holmes maxim, was that "when you have excluded the impossible, whatever is left, however improbable, must be the truth". As a matter of fiction, accepting the improbable as an equivalent of "guesstimate" may be interesting reading, but it cannot be any foundation for a future world better than shifting sand.

[The] point in exposing what are described as "cynical attempts" by competing agencies and charities to boost donations and raise profiles, is that what is possible becomes obscured by the exaggeration". [From an old newspaper clipping.]

"Do you know who first defined the concept of an enemy combatant? It was Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Socialist Democrat, 1944. He used that designation, his justice department did, to try Nazis who were dropped off on Long Island by German submarines. He tried them not as American citizens, not in courts of law, but as enemy combatants. They were tried and found guilty and shot.

Are you aware of that Democrat? (To Caller) The problem is you are not educated, the problem is the media’s filled with sycophants who don’t even now their own history. That’s why we’re in trouble. That’s why we have this charlatan as President and idiots like you calling the show, talking about constitutional rights for Osama Bin Laden." Michael Savage to a liberal caller.

"The sword of Muhammad and the Quran are the most fatal enemies of civilization, liberty, and the truth which the world has yet known." The eminent orientalist Sir William Muir [1819-1905].

[The Ayatollah Khomeini is considered by millions of Muslims worldwide as a major Islamic spiritual guide and authority.] "Those who know nothing of Islam pretend that Islam counsels against war. Those [who say this] are witless. Islam says: Kill all the unbelievers just as they would kill you all!

Does this mean that Muslims should sit back until they are devoured by [the unbelievers]? Islam says: Kill them, put them to the sword and scatter [their armies]...

Islam says: Whatever good there is exists thanks to the sword and in the shadow of the sword! People cannot be made obedient except with the sword! The sword is the key to Paradise, which can be opened only for the Holy Warriors!

There are hundreds of other [Qur’anic] psalms and Hadiths [sayings of the Prophet] urging Muslims to value war and to fight.

Does all this mean that Islam is a religion that prevents men from waging war? I spit upon those foolish souls who make such a claim.” Ayatollah Khomeini.

"For a people who are free, and who mean to remain so, a well-organized and armed militia is their best security." Thomas Jefferson.

Obama both seriously studied and taught Saul Alinsky’s 'Rules For Radicals.'

RULE 3: ''Whenever possible, go outside the expertise of the enemy.'' Look for ways to increase insecurity, anxiety and uncertainty. (This happens all the time. Watch how many organizations under attack are blind-sided by seemingly irrelevant arguments that they are then forced to address.)

RULE 6: ''A good tactic is one your people enjoy.'' They'll keep doing it without urging and come back to do more. They're doing their thing, and will even suggest better ones.

RULE 8: ''Keep the pressure on. Never let up.'' Keep trying new things to keep the opposition off balance. As the opposition masters one approach, hit them from the flank with something new. (Attack, attack, attack from all sides, never giving the reeling organization a chance to rest, regroup, recover and re-strategize.)"

Colonel Neville via Sinatra's Nancy with the smiling face, does..

Nancy [Pelosi], with the stupid face.

If I just see her each day, a pisser
Gee, what a shrill that plastic kisser
Believe me, she’s a head case
Oh Nancy, with the stupid' face

She takes the dimmer and she makes it dummer
And dummer could take a few lessons from her
Picture a simpletons face
That's Nancy with the stupid face

Did you ever hear Obama’s balls ringing?
Well, she'll give you the very same low
When she speaks you would think it was shitting
Just hear her say jello

I swear to goodness, you can't believe her
Sorry for us, she has no desister
No moron could replace
Nancy, with the stupid face.'

.“Principles for Allocation of Scarce Medical Interventions,” published on January 31, 2009. .beginning at page 6 of the embed (page 428 in the original) at which Dr. Emanuel sets forth the principles of “The Complete Lives System.”

While Emanuel does not use the term “death panel,” Palin put that term in quotation marks to signify the concept of medical decisions based on the perceived societal worth of an individual, not literally a “death panel.” And in so doing, Palin was true to Dr. Emanuel’s concept of a system which
considers prognosis, since its aim is to achieve complete lives.

A young person with a poor prognosis has had a few life-years but lacks the potential to live a complete life. Considering prognosis forestalls the concern the disproportionately large amounts of resources will be directed to young people with poor prognoses.

When the worst-off can benefit only slightly while better-off people could benefit greatly, allocating to the better-off is often justifiable….When implemented, the complete lives system produces a priority curve on which individuals aged between roughly 15 and 40 years get the most chance, whereas the youngest and oldest people get chances that are attenuated.."

"The Western mind-set—that if we respect them, they’re going to respect us, that if we indulge and appease and condone and so on, the problem will go away—is delusional. The problem is not going to go away. Confront it, or it’s only going to get bigger." Ayaan Hirsi Ali on Islam and Muslims.

"Mathematics, rightly viewed, possesses not only truth, but supreme beauty - a beauty cold and austere, like that of sculpture. - Bertrand Russell.

For example, a recent poll found that 36 per cent of Muslims between the ages of 16 and 24 believe that those who convert to another religion should be punished by death. That's not 36 per cent of young Muslims in Waziristan or Yemen or Sudan, but 36 per cent in the United Kingdom.

Forty per cent of British Muslims would like to live under sharia, in Britain. Twenty per cent have sympathy for the July 7 Tube bombers. And, given that Islam is the principal source of population growth in every city down the spine of England from Manchester to Sheffield to Birmingham to London, these statistics are not without significance for Britain's future. Can we talk about it?" Mark Steyn.

"Civilizations die from suicide, not murder." Arnold Toynbee.

'Two years ago, Queen Margrethe II of Denmark, musing on Islamic radicalism in her own country, said that people need occasionally to "show their opposition to Islam... It is a challenge we have to take seriously. We have let this issue float about for too long because we are tolerant and very lazy. And when we are tolerant, we must know whether it is because of convenience or conviction."

Oh, what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to believe. - Laurence J. Peter
The greatest pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do. - Walter Bagehot

“The left always equates equal opportunity with the need for equality of outcome”. Comment by Dr John on Hotair dot com.

“If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory..”Winston Churchill.

"There are two moral questions which altruism lumps together into one “package-deal”: (1) What are values? (2) Who should be the beneficiary of values? Altruism substitutes the second for the first; it evades the task of defining a code of moral values, thus leaving man, in fact, without moral guidance.
Altruism declares that any action taken for the benefit of others is good, and any action taken for one’s own benefit is evil.

Thus the beneficiary of an action is the only criterion of moral value—and so long as that beneficiary is anybody other than oneself, anything goes.

One of the entries under “property rights”..The right to agree with others is not a problem in any society; it is the right to disagree that is crucial. It is the institution of private property that protects and implements the right to disagree—and thus keeps the road open to man’s most valuable attribute (valuable personally, socially, and objectively): the creative mind." Ayn Rand, ‘Atlas Shrugged’.

Carl Sagan in his book “The Demon-haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark”. “In 1993, the supreme religious authority of Saudi Arabia, Sheik Abdel-Aziz ibn Baaz, issued a edict, or fatwah, declaring that the world is flat. Anyone of the round persuasion does not believe in God and should be punished.''

Mark Steyn on LIVE FREE OR DIE!

"Two hundred years ago — July 31, 1809 — General Stark wrote the words that are now New Hampshire's state motto.

As an immigrant to the Granite State, I was born in a jurisdiction whose license plates bear the stirring exhortation "Yours to discover," so I certainly appreciate getting to drive around with John Stark's battle cry on my rig. I reflected a little on the motto in this speech at Hillsdale College. Its lesson for our time is this:

It's a bald statement of the reality of our lives in the prosperous West. You can live as free men, but, if you choose not to, your society will die."
