hillary clinton’s silly irish peace claims

This should be the first of several persons who can debunk the idiotic idea that she was ‘deeply involved’ in everything the Clinton White House did.

Hillary Clinton had no direct role in bringing peace to Northern Ireland and is a “wee bit silly” for exaggerating the part she played, according to Lord Trimble of Lisnagarvey, the Nobel Peace Prize winner and former First Minister of the province.

It gets worse for her:

“I don’t know there was much she did apart from accompanying Bill [Clinton] going around,” he said. Her recent statements about being deeply involved were merely “the sort of thing people put in their canvassing leaflets” during elections. “She visited when things were happening, saw what was going on, she can certainly say it was part of her experience. I don’t want to rain on the thing for her but being a cheerleader for something is slightly different from being a principal player.”

OUCH!!!!! At least her imagination is intact though.

“I remember a meeting that I pulled together in Belfast, in the town hall there, bringing together for the first time Catholics and Protestants from both traditions, having them sitting a room where they had never been before with each other because they don’t go to school together, they don’t live together and it was only in large measure because I really asked them to come that they were there.

“And I wasn’t sure it was going to be very successful and finally a Catholic woman on one side of the table said, ’You know, every time my husband leaves for work in the morning I worry he won’t come home at night.

“And then a Protestant woman on the other side said, ’Every time my son tries to go out at night I worry he won’t come home again’. And suddenly instead of seeing each other as caricatures and stereotypes they saw each other as human beings and the slow, hard work of peace-making could move forward.”

Impressive stuff, eh?

There is no record of a meeting at Belfast City Hall, though Mrs Clinton attended a ceremony there when her husband turned on the Christmas tree lights in November 1995. The former First Lady appears to be referring a 50-minute event the same day, arranged by the US Consulate, the same day at the Lamp Lighter Café on the city’s Ormeau Road.

The “Belfast Telegraph” reported the next day that the café meeting was crammed with reporters, cameramen and Secret Service agents. Conversation “seemed a little bit stilted, a little prepared at times” and Mrs Clinton admired a stainless steel tea pot, which was duly given to her, for keeping the brew “so nice and hot”.

Read it all. It’s great.

Drop Drudge

Endangering the lives of British troops for a sensational scoop about Prince Harry (about which the mainstream media had surprisingly kept quiet) is taking sensationalism too far. Way too far. It’s hardly different from the New York Slimes exposing secrets to the enemy.

The British people are furious with Channel 4’s Jon Snow for saying “thank God for Drudge,” and many have decided to boycott Snow and Channel 4. Why stop there? Matt Drudge was the one to spill the beans, after all.

Jeff Quinton is urging others:

Since Drudge really isn’t that necessary anymore for news, and his scoops are few and far between anymore, why not drop Drudge? Remove his link from your website, de-link him from your blog and don’t link to him. If you care about letting him know that you’ve done it and why, send a message to drudge@drudgereport.com, otherwise just pull any links to him. Let us know if you’ve gone along with this plan in the comments below.

Count me in.

Dump Drudge. He’s well past his prime, and breaking this story just shows his desperation. Who needs him?

left wing nuthouse

The Houses of Parliament in the United Kingdom considers Early Day Motions; meaningless expressions of moral vanity and preening self-congratulation, usually employed by left wing idiots praising some murderer or other who killed in the name of socialism. On February 20th, 69 MPs signed up for the following:

EDM 982

FIDEL CASTRO
20.02.2008

Burgon, Colin

That this House commends the achievements of Fidel Castro in securing first-class free healthcare and education provision for the people of Cuba despite the 44 year illegal US embargo of the Cuban economy; notes the great strides Cuba has taken during this period in many fields such as biotechnology and sport in both of which Cuba is a world leader; acknowledges the esteem in which Castro is held by the people and leaders of Africa, Asia and Latin America for leading the calls for emancipation of the world’s poorest people from slavery, hunger and the denial of human rights such as the right to life, the right to shelter, the right to healthcare and basic medicines and the right to education; welcomes the EU statement that constructive engagement with Cuba at this time is the most responsible course of action; and calls upon the Government to respect Cuba’s right to self-determination and resist the aggressive forces within the US Administration who are openly planning their own illegal transition in Cuba.

Yeah, I know. It stands in stark contrast to the actions of Prince Harry noted below.

Get your foot off the gas

Or you might arrested for racist revving…

UK: Jail Time for Revving Engine in a Racist Manner

A motorist in Scotland, UK is fined $238 and sent to jail for two days for the crime of revving his Lotus Esprit in a racist manner.

Scottish motorist Ronnie Hutton, 49, was jailed for two days for the crime of “revving his car in a racist manner” last September. After waiting more than a year to try the case, the Stirling Sheriff court finally convicted Hutton last week of breach of the peace and fined him £150 (US $282).

An off duty officer, Chief Inspector Eoin Jenkins, said Hutton had revved the engine of his Lotus Esprit near two Muslims last year. After Hutton dismissed Jenkins’ concern with an expletive, Jenkins immediately dispatched two police officers to Hutton’s home where he was taken and thrown in jail for two days without formal charges. Hutton explained that his revving had nothing to do with nearby pedestrians, rather, he was keeping his temperamental and expensive V8 engine from stalling and being damaged.

“To be convicted for revving my car in a busy street is hard to take,” Hutton told the Sunday Mail newspaper. “Does this mean anyone driving a noisy car in Scotland is now a criminal?”

Asked in court why the man may have revved his engine, Hana Saad, 23, said through an interpreter, “Maybe because we are Muslim.”

Amazing.

Absolutely Fabulous

Joanna Lumley, the implausibly posh old tart from AbFab, has taken up the climate change cudgels, and she displays the same grasp of this complex global issue as that enunciated by her fellow thespians Penn, Robbins et al.

Dahling.

Livestock farming has many other adverse effects on the global environment, being the largest source of water pollution and degradation of coastal areas and coral reefs. In some parts of the world overgrazing is harming biodiversity and pasture lands; elsewhere it is turning more and more pastures to desert.

Blah blah blah. It’s the usual alrmist tripe but it is interesting for one reason - she’s strayed way off the ‘blame oil’ reservation, and it’ll be interesting to see whether and for how long this ‘new’ slant on globaloney warmingism survives eco-politburo scrutiny.

Blaming Exxon is one thing, blaming poor peasants trying to eke out a living with a few cattle, while CheneyHalliburtonBusHitler Inc. continue to ply their deviant trade is quite another.

No smoking while driving in the UK!

Nanny-statism at its finest.

Lighting-up at the wheel has been added to the list of “distractions” which police and lawyers can cite in court when seeking a conviction for a traffic offence.

It joins eating and drinking, “inserting a cassette or CD or tuning a radio”, “arguing with your passengers or other road users”, trying to read maps, and - even playing loud music - most, if not all, of which have featured in successful prosecutions.

What. The. Hell!

I suppose this means using the Crackberry while driving would also be illegal? Can they even use a cell phone?

Is this for real?!

Meet Dr. Butt

UK dentist and yes, another moderate moslem:

A muslim dentist made a woman wear Islamic dress as the price of accepting her as an NHS patient, it is alleged. Omer Butt is said to have told the patient that unless she wore a headscarf she would have to find another practice. the 31-year-old dentist asked to speak to the woman in private after she turned up for an appointment at his clinic in Bury.

According to the charges, he questioned her on whether she was a Muslim and told her that if he was to treat her she would have to wear Islamic dress.

He is also said to have read out a number of religious rules to her.

He then told his nurse to give the patient her own headscarf to wear, the accusation says.

No word on whether the patient complied with the good doctor’s demands. I guess it would depend on how long she had to wait for that appointment under Britain’s NHS and how bad the toothache really was. After all, beggars can’t be choosers.

BTW… besides being an islamofascist, Dr. Butt also has the distinction of being the older brother of ~~former~~ Islamic extremist Hassan Butt, who once declared he had ‘no problem’ with terror attacks on Britain and who said that September 11 “served the pleasure of Allah.”

BBC ‘has no line on climate change’ - and the band played believe it if you like

From last Monday’s Bishop Hill Blog:

On the BBC’s climate change portal at the moment, the main stories include

* Calls to strengthen the EU emissions trading scheme for airlines
* Calls to encourage homes to go green
* A report that the British are addicted to cheap flights
* A report that the risk of flooding due to climate change has been underestimated
* A conference to discuss tackling climate change
* Increases in forest fires due to climate change
* A report that APEC has muddied the climate change waters
* A way to track your carbon emissions through your phone
* A report that winter sports threaten mountain ecosystems

and lastly, and surely with tongue firmly in cheek, an entry from the Editors blog in which Head of TV news, Peter Horrocks says that the BBC has no line on climate change.

You couldn’t make it up.

Quite so.

The World’s Most Offensive Joke: ISLAM!

Oh, if only it were in fact a laughing matter.

Pleasant surprise to see this came from the UK.

As Winston Churchill Is Reputed To Have Said:

Criticism may not be agreeable, but it is necessary. It fulfills the same function as pain in the human body. It calls attention to an unhealthy state of things.

It seems the British still retain a sense of Churchill’s resilience.

As they walked the one-mile parade route, the group knelt down in mock prayer and used fake compasses to try to find Mecca.

Their routine impressed carnival judges - a mayor, two district councillors and a parish councillor - and they were shortlisted for the “best entry” prize.

But before any awards were handed out, police told the group to leave after complaints about racism.

Yesterday, as one member of the team apologised, the organisers of the annual carnival through the winding streets of St Columb Major, near Newquay, Cornwall, insisted their inclusion was not offensive.

Nina Brenton said: “We were approached by about six students from out of the area and they thought it was disgusting and offensive to Muslims.

“They asked how we could allow it in our carnival, but it’s not up to us to dictate what’s offensive. We did advise the group in question what had happened and gave them the choice of whether to carry on in the procession, and they did.

“Everybody was having fun, but in the end the police got involved and moved them on. It was a fun day and no one was offended.”

Pat Harvey, mayor of the borough of Restormel and one of the judges, said: “I felt that the community enjoyed their act. The group was excellent.”

Today, the ruins left behind by Rome are tourist attractions in Britain. So too, in the future, will be the remnants of militant Islam. Like the imperialistic Romans, the imperialistic Islamofascists will be driven out. It won’t be easy, but it will happen.

And not just there, but everywhere. Islam is about to get it’s own Enlightenment, whether it wants one or not.

Ecotards oppose….well, everything

Climate Change Protesters, as we are now obliged to call these white, middle-class, dreadlocked potbangers, are camped out trying to prevent a third runway at London’s Heathrow Airport. (If you’ve ever flown through Heathrow you’ll know that they could probably use a fourth, fifth and sixth runway too).

The camp is part of a week-long demonstration against plans to expand the airport, which organisers hope will be attended by more than 1,500 people from the UK and Europe.

Wow!! 1500 protesters! That’s what I would call a movement.

A spokeswoman for the camp, Leila Harris, said an illegal protest could not be ruled out during the day of action next Sunday but said the safety of passengers would not be jeopardised.

“It will be an action that is agreed upon by consensus of all those at the camp,” she said.

I would turn the water cannons on these wasters, which would have the dual benefit of pissing them off and making them stink slightly less badly.

I’m personally protesting climate change every day in Saint Louis until it cools down. Fidiots.

Islamofascists in Londonistan

I found this set of videos via LGF; if you want to see why they call it “Londonistan,” watch this–and beware those who would create the same environment here with their claims of “tolerance” and “diversity.”

I’m impressed

The Russians can’t seem to understand why the British Government wants them to hand over Andrei Lugovoi. They don’t seem able to comprehend why the British would rather not have political assassinations taking place in London restaurants.

So the Brits expelled four Soviet, sorry, Russian diplomats. And Putin responded by expelling four British diplomats.

Russia has expelled four British diplomats from Moscow, in tit-for-tat retaliation for the expulsion of four of its own officials earlier this week.

David Miliband, the Foreign Secretary, branded the move “completely unjustified” and said the Government would be doing all it could to ensure their families are properly looked after.

Moscow also announced that it would withhold future co-operation with Britain in the war on terror, and stop issuing visas to British officials.

Co-operation in the war on terror? Isn’t whacking folks who happen to disagree with you a bit like taking part in terrorism?

Russia’s a problem.

Tony Blair just went up in my estimation

Wow! KABOOM!!

”The idea that as a Muslim in this country that you don’t have the freedom to express your religion or your views, I mean you’ve got far more freedom in this country than you do in most Muslim countries,” Blair told Observer columnist Will Hutton, who presents the documentary.

POW!!

”The reason we are finding it hard to win this battle is that we’re not actually fighting it properly. We’re not actually standing up to these people and saying, “It’s not just your methods that are wrong, your ideas are absurd. Nobody is oppressing you. Your sense of grievance isn’t justified.”‘

BLAM!!

Blair, who normally chooses his language carefully when he talks about Islamists, also takes a swipe at critics who accused him of undermining civil liberties. ”When I’m trying to change the law in order to make it easier to deport people who engage in terrorism - the idea that that’s an assault on hundreds of years of British civil liberties is completely absurd. Some of what is written on this is loopy-loo in its extremism.”

If he keeps talking like this, I promise to hate him less.

I’m sorry. This joke made me laugh out loud. I’ll stop posting jokes now.

Gary Glitter was on a ship with 100 boy scouts and 100 girl guides when it hit an iceberg and started to sink. The captain announced “We’re sinking! Everyone abandon ship!”

Gary Glitter asked, “What about the children?”

“F–k the children!” The captain replied

Gary Glitter looked around eagerly and said “Do we have time?”
