Who loves you, baby?

Everybody agrees that Londoners showed amazing inner strength under fire two days ago, and that all the rescue services performed outstandingly. The town's performance may well be seen as a major defeat for the terrorists. So their allies in the media have swung into action. Today's edition of the Channel 4 early evening news used every moment it did not devote to crawling admiration of the terrorists' brilliant organization and remarkably successful butchery to a lengthy set of varations on horror, disgust and grisliness. We are at war, and anyone who saw this performance will be clear that they were trying to play up the enemy's power and skill and encourage their spectators to fear them. Why this sort of abject moral surrender should take place I do not know, but it seems clear that Britain's Channel 4 News should be retitled "Channel 4 - a wholly-owned subsidiary of Al Qaida".

Wow. I'd heard that the IVF referendum was a defeat for its proponents and the left in Italy, but I'd not idea it was so severely so.

You are quite correct about the Left and its seeming proximity to Al-Qaeda and other terrorists in regards to outlook on democracy. It has been my experience and observation that despite all the commotion and do to show how lofty their democratic ideals that elitists and ideologues have nothing but contempt for the masses (i.e. the body of democracy).

The Democrats in America are clutching desperately at any straws they can find over their defeats in 2000, 2002 and 2004. Gay marriage referenda in several states in 2004 came out to be a resounding defeat for them, and they still can't concede that it may possibly be because most Americans don't favor it. If it weren't for the hatred of Republicans, hatred of most Christians and hatred of the president, the several factions that make up the Democratic Party in America would've split up already.

And Canada's Il-Liberals and Zapatero's mob in Spain both absolutely refused the mere idea of a referendum. Why? Guess what: they fucking knew they would lose it. And the Church in Spain has had a good look at what the Church in Italy has just done, and is thinking about applying the lessons learned in Italy. Mr.Zapatero is going to have an interesting time ahead of him.

Good.

What I mean by "Good" is "It is good that Zapatero & Co. are going to have an interesting time ahead" of them. I hope it is a winding, politically perilous 88-degree upward grade, accompanied by gusts of poor public opinion bordering on gale force.
