It COULDN’T be those millions of military aged Muslim men, could it?  After all, they MUST have as much respect for our Western mores, our culture(s), and our way of life, right?  Why ELSE would they have left their home countries, their families, their wives, and their children?  Andrew McCarthy, a respected security expert, over at National Review has a take on those questions – here’s his real take (longish) on the issue:

Truth being the first casualty of war, it was left to Henriette Reker, the fantasy Islam–drenched mayor of Cologne, to blame the victims for their ordeal. Such assaults could be prevented, she declaimed, if German women adopted a “code of conduct” tailored to the new, multi-culti Deutschland.

In the spirit of multiculturalism, I have such a code just off the shelf (on which rests The Grand Jihad, in which I outlined it a few years back). It goes like this:

To be absolved from guilt, the raped woman must have shown some sort of good conduct . . . Islam addresses women to maintain their modesty, so as not to open the door for evil . . . The Koran calls on Muslim women in general to preserve their dignity and modesty, just to save themselves from any harassment. So for a rape victim to be absolved from guilt, she must not be the one that opens . . . her dignity for deflowering.

Yup, an incipient Soup Car Nazi; SeacoastOnline has an article dealing with the idea of changing their housing ordinances to allow micro-apartments.  These are gaining traction in really high cost cities (San Fran, NYC) where lack of space, land use regulation and rent-subsidies have artificially put a distortion that has resulted in extremely high rents on those places on the open market.  Sufficiently high that it has forced low income and “workforce” folks out of the local markets.  So the idea of “micro apartments” was born – 250 to 350 square feet and at “reasonable prices”.  In other words, a space equal to some folks’ walk-in closets.  But Portsmouth (NH) thinks it needs this idea (reformatted, emphasis mine)?

PORTSMOUTH – City Councilor Eric Spear wants the city to look into putting micro-apartments for workforce housing at the Parrott Avenue parking lot. “Ever since I’ve been on the council we’ve been trying to get workforce housing for a number of years,” Spear said this week. “We’ve had good intentions but we haven’t had success.” Portsmouth residents or people who work in the downtown have been frustrated by the lack of success, Spear said, and by considering the idea of putting micro-apartments at the city-owned parking lot, officials can get the discussion started.

“Rather than wait interminably for a developer to come in sometimes you have to take leadership on an issue,” Spear said.

Er, maybe

Just saw this at the Boston Globe – am REALLY surprised (because of their very liberal slant) they even printed it.  But given the absolute vitriol that the Left has for folks like me, I’ve put that Letter to the Editor here (reformatted, emphasis mine):

When I boarded the commuter rail, you were already in the midst of a spirited phone conversation and didn’t seem to care about how loud you were talking. You were talking with someone about the Paris train attack and the growing epidemic of gun violence in America.  You spoke about the “murderous NRA” and “bloodthirsty gun nuts” who were causing our schools to “run red with blood.” You spoke profanely of the Republicans who opposed President Obama’s call for “sensible gun control,” and you lamented the number of “inbred redneck politicians” who have “infiltrated Capitol Hill.”

When the Left talks about tolerance, that is what they do – belittle, dehumanize, and describe those that disagree with them in the most derogatory terms.

I found myself amazed at the irony of the situation.

So if you are a SJW or multiculturalism booster, keep surfing on, because we don’t care if you are offended.  I’m tired that we can’t laugh at ourselves and others anymore and that y’all spoiled comedy because of it:

Three strangers strike up a conversation in the airport lounge in Bozeman,
Montana , awaiting their flights. One is an American Indian, passing
through from Lame Deer.  Another is a cowboy on his way to Billings for a livestock show. And the
third is a fundamentalist Arab student from the Middle East, newly arrived
at Montana State University.

Their discussion drifts to their diverse cultures. Soon, the two
Westerners learn that the Arab is a devout, radical Muslim and the
conversation falls into an uneasy lull.

Steve’s post is talking about the dark underbelly of the “refugee” invasion that Germany’s Prime Minister Angela Merkel both condoned and welcomed – how else was Germany to fill those 1 million jobs for which there were no Germans to fill? It alludes to both the self-deception that the EU is experiencing as well as the almost complete media blackout on the bad “collateral damage” that is being hoisted upon the common folks. C’mon in, we got the light on fer ya.  And come they did.  And given the absolute political correctness that passes for normality in the EU, NO one was to criticize these Muslims coming in the Middle East or North Africa.  Assimilation?  You RACIST – how DARE you say anything bad!

Or that’s been the mantra as I’ve watched this mass migration of mostly single, military aged men basically be an invasion force.  Were they grateful for being given refuge from their war-torn hellholes?  No – I’ve already blogged about their behavior, screaming at the European women that were acting as aid workers, food thrown away and demands for their “own food” shouted, and complaints made about almost everything.

And then the blinkers fell off on New Year’s Eve as these “refugees” turned the annual celebration in a misogynistic mauling of the native single ladies simply out to celebrate the holiday. You see,

January 8, 2016 – Global Warming Helped Exacerbate Biggest Year Ever for U.S. Wildfires

More than 10.1 million acres of U.S. forests—private, state and federal—were scorched last year, marking 2015 as the most extensive and expensive fire season on record, according to numbers released Wednesday by the Forest Service.

I have no doubt it was the most expensive (even adjusted for inflation), but most extensive? Sorry, not even close.
