1. Sound arguments, but who’s paying attention? Anyone?

2. AWESOME

3. Synthesis, not syntax. I could have been your Italian translator if you came to your senses. And if I had time to waste.

   • What a kind offer, Ilia, and posed in your inimitable style. We’ll have to shoot our some-time Italian translators to make room. What a jolly crew you will make.

     • They have made a graver mistake so far. 150 million Africans coming to diversify Europe, not 15 million. Now this will soften you up to give me the coveted job.

       • Definitely, I am softened up. You do realize our translators work for love alone, don’t you?

     • 08:12 this city has an important destiny. From 2000 years ago until now.

       Better translation: (3000, not 2000 is the biggest transgression. Our civilization didn’t start with Christ. It started with Greeks, Athens, and Etruscans, then Rome.)

       08:12 I like it a little bit that this city has an important destiny from 3000 years ago, and ongoing.

   • Thanks. I told ’em to change it.
     1. I have autocorrect 2. Sometimes I’m too tired/over it after working on snippets over a span of days (during my free time) to notice. If someone who’s more efficient/cultured would kindly contact the people who run these sites and volunteer, I’d gladly send ’em the material to translate.

4. Hope and faith spring eternal! A Christian revival is a necessity, as I have long stated.

   Europe Arise!

   • Sadly, socialism makes for a lazy, indolent populace. Very few can “arise” at this point, your Excellency. Think of them – or the large majority of them – as inhabitants of Plato’s Cave.

     It is the same here for those whose existence depends on the largesse of the government.

5. Another hero! So true. God bless him.

6. So Confucius was asked : If you had to eliminate one, which one would you get rid of the three : Army, Faith, or Food?

   Confucius : Army
   And if you had to choose between foo and Faith which would you winnow out?

   Confucius : Food.

   I see that’s why Traitors, who are as clever as Confucius , and even more, stick to their Pirate Faith.

7. “The ethic of intention vs. the ethic of responsibility”. How clearly that describes liberals and their delusional policies of fantasy multicultural utopias.

   I heard on the radio this AM that Switzerland passed laws protected lobsters from being placed in boiling water while alive. How about some concern for placing your own citizens in the boiling water of multiculturalism?

   • “The ethic of intention vs. the ethic of responsibility”. How clearly that describes liberals and their delusional policies of fantasy multicultural utopias.

     Indeed….a true gem to quote often.

8. I was impressed by the part of the speech where he lauded Assad of Syria. Melluzi recognized explicitly that a decent society in a Muslim country cannot be democratic. It must be ruled by a dictator, autocrat, or minority identity group. In Assad’s case, Assad was the dictator representing the minority Alewite Islam sect. Under the Alewites, the Christians (and others) were protected.

   Going to my own extrapolations, which are not part of the speech, it is obvious that part of the cultural Marxist design is to eliminate successful regimes in Muslim countries, based on dictatorships. This was explicitly done, by the Obama administration as well as the globalist European governments, in Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, and Syria. Fortunately, in Egypt and Syria, the military and the Russians were able to thwart the US support for Islamic rebels. And, I’m not at all happy at having to favor the Russians in any dispute with the US.

   The US government still maintains the fiction that Assad needs to leave the Syrian presidency, once again profusely illustrating that the US has no business whatsoever interfering in foreign affairs that don’t directly affect the physical security of the US.

   Syria was a genuine problem for the US. It was aligned with Iran (not nearly as much as now, however) and presented a latent security threat to Israel. Instead of engaging in creative diplomacy to neutralize the real problems, the US supported Islamic rebels, which is like taking large doses of arsenic to treat the flu.

   The only reason I can think of for the Western leaders to topple successful dictatorships in Muslim countries is that chaotic Muslim countries add to the ideological and spiritual chaos in the West. Ultimately, the EU super-government aims at exactly that form of government: unaccountable dictatorship in the midst of a predominant Muslim identity group. They seem to be more interested in the tools of climbing to power than the consequences for wielding the power.
