Nothing says "beta-male Euroweenie" than a nice pastel pink tie.

Wow. Getting reprimanded for telling the truth. Where have I heard that before?

Skip, reread your CS Lewis quote.

What was that Hungarian "saying" reguarding a monkey around 6:55 on the video about ?

Posted by: AndyOH at November 28, 2009 1:16 PM

"Getting reprimanded for telling the truth."

...and these dictatorial fascists telling Farage "the higher the monkey climbs up the tree the better you can see his ass" is considered a quite appropriate response as well...

Thanks Wingwalker, I couldnt make it out.

Obama at least got elected. under all the other criteria, no proper job. socialist he is the same as the Euroweenies he is talking about.

Posted by: cal2 at November 28, 2009 1:31 PM

Kate, you are correct, I didn't watch it initially, but took a cue from your title. Good on Mr. Farage, he is, of course, absolutely correct. Doesn't change my opinion about the tie, however...:)

Posted by: Skip at November 28, 2009 1:37 PM

Here's the woman that Farage was referring to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catherine_Ashton,_Baroness_Ashton_of_Upholland

She's a Leftist sycophant who was never elected yet wields an incredible amount of power. Me thinks she wouldn't bat an eye if the Communists took over all of Europe tomorrow.

Posted by: Robert W. (Vancouver) at November 28, 2009 1:40 PM

How long until Europe is at war with itself again?

I say we don't bail them out again.

Posted by: djb at November 28, 2009 1:43 PM

I thought it mildly amusing how Nigel is called out for his tone, his manner of speaking in the video. He's very much in the minority there isn't he... thanks.

Posted by: marc in calgary at November 28, 2009 1:45 PM

I like this guy - pink tie or not - who knows perhaps his wife, mother, or sister has breast cancer or his wife picked out his clothes for the day because he has more important things on his mind. He spoke the truth - he is quick on his feet and articulate and tells it like it is - what's not to like? The speaker has obviously been bought - he basically relied - never mind the facts just get with the program already.

Posted by: get with the program already at November 28, 2009 1:51 PM

He's very much in the minority there isn't he... thanks.

Actually I think you'll find the EU elections, particularly in the UK, took a definite turn toward Euro-scepticism. If the UK parliamentary election next May/June follows that trend, which current polling says it will, it would not be surprising to see a push for a national referendum that Farage referred to.

Posted by: glasnost at November 28, 2009 1:54 PM

remind you of anything, Right in our own backyard, the senate maybe? Or
what if you had a political convention & Elected a new leader Only he wasnt Elected. In the future we will be yearning for a Democracy of the past.

Best part though
They were not Elected & have never been Elected!!!! And the people do not have the power to Remove them.

Amazing! Quislings in the EU have done what the Soviet Union tried to do for decades and failed to accomplish.

Posted by: Edward Teach at November 28, 2009 2:10 PM

We need more people like Nigel Farage to shine a light on the odious socialists who are trying to ruin thousands of years of culture and knowledge.

Posted by: gord at November 28, 2009 2:19 PM

Kate,

You should remove some of the Forrest Gump in your automatic screening system because yesterday it rejected a short comment I wrote which included a link to an audio mp3 of a leftist University professor in Ottawa who happens to be a GLOBAL WARMNG DENIER who was interviewed on a very popular radio talk show here in Montreal and CLIMATEGATE was the topic.

Yes climategate on Montreal radio 98.5 FM.

I also included a link to the professor's essay in which he explains why global warming is a scam; he might be a far left leftist but he knows his stuff; he is a professor of physics.

there was nothing wrong, bad or innapropriate in my comment.

It is pretty insulting to be told to be less like Forrest Gump and have my comment rejected when it is your system that is - pardon my French - stupidly rejecting a perfectly good comment.

Posted by: Friend of USA at November 28, 2009 2:20 PM

I agree on the pink tie.

I loved the 'have our bumps felt' comment. I'm quite sure it went over almost everyone's head.

Derek

Posted by: dkite at November 28, 2009 2:39 PM

Skip, your comment is alright though. I would not wear a pink tie either, at least not in public.

The two people behind Farage were supporting him by holding up pictures of the commie fellow traveller.

That Hannon fellow who ripped into Gordon Brown a month ago or so is alright too.

Posted by: Ken (Kulak) at November 28, 2009 2:41 PM

Europe is heading for a meltdown and I fear that it is not going to be pretty. This is going to happen when the majority of the folks there don't realize the things that they've been promised.

Posted by: northbaytrapper at November 28, 2009 2:44 PM

Don't you wish we heard that kind of forthright oratory in our Canadian Parliament instead of the politically-correct mush that is the regular fare of that chamber?

Posted by: JMD at November 28, 2009 2:50 PM

@djb "How long until Europe is at war with itself again?"

It is us that will be at war with them -- not the EU states with themselves. We are moving towards a world arena where all that is considered rational truth is called into being through state hegemony by the uber-rich elite. It is the enemy of the free agency of man. It serves only the strong. It has no compassion for the old and the weak. It is Nazi.

Posted by: wingwalker at November 28, 2009 2:51 PM

Political Correctness in the Parliament of Uber-Leviathan. Nigel won't be invited to the receptions hosted by the good Baroness any time soon. This is what awaits us eventually.

Baroness Ashton married well?

What, to a beastly, deformed, disfigured, foul, frightful, grisly, gross, grotesque, hideous, homely, misshapen, repelling, repugnant, repulsive, revolting......rich male?

Posted by: RCGZ at November 28, 2009 3:03 PM

Europe is heading for a meltdown and I fear that it is not going to be pretty.

Farage’s eloquent diatribe augurs against such a meltdown. Instead I believe it’s the dusking of the “age of Aquarius”. Latter day hippies like Baroness Ashton of Upholland are finished. The pendulum is on the back-swing.

I dunno, as an alpha male should I be responding to this? I'm confused - if I'm an alpha male and Kate can kick my ass, am I an alpha male still?

I'm so confused. What am I supposed to be now.

Maybe I'm a male lesbian. Hey, this way I'll get more pussy!

Posted by: PiperPaul at November 28, 2009 3:14 PM

I was disappointed by the two Poles in the clip; one being the "president" and the other the Herczog lady who defended the undemocratic appointments and directed the inappropriate aphorism about the monkey at Farage.

I would have thought that, having experienced two generations of communism, they might have recognized the EU behaviour for what it is, been more leery about accepting it and more sympathetic with someone who doesn't.

PMSH attending the Copenhagen farce is not a bad thing in itself. Other than the cost of a few gallons of JP4, who cares? We should be happy that the CTV blurb referred to Canada as "reluctant". Let him convey that reluctance, and perhaps (in my dreams) even refer to the "unsteady" science involved.

Kate, merci from a non-fag fan of Freddie Mercury.

That man was effing amazing. Just listen to what he did! Most people know the usual, popular stuff.

Anyone listening could hear his amazing range - and also the playful scope of Queen.

"if the Communists took over all of Europe tomorrow."

If?

"How long until Europe is at war with itself again?

I say we don't bail them out again."

Bail them out? Again? We financed and partnered with Stalin's slave army which subsequently took over half of Europe, sort of the exact opposite of bailing them out. We bombed civilians and cities not only in Germany but in France, Belgium, the Netherlands, and other countries. We sent all expatriots from Soviet controlled zones back to the USSR, some of whom left before the Tsar fell and others who weren't even Russian.

Say what you will about Hitler, but there would be no Muslim immigration, or Kyoto Accord, or EU, or anything remotely resembling bolshevism had we backed him instead of the Bolsheviks and it's time we as intelligent adults admitted that.

O.M.G.

Dorothy, we're not in Kansas anymore.

Nigel Farage is WONDERFUL! What he neglected to say about the E.U. High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, the Baroness (Kathy) Ashton of Upholland, is how butt-ugly she is (though I guess that's why his supporters were holding up photos of her!):

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catherine_Ashton,_Baroness_Ashton_of_Upholland

So, the Ee-ew has a repulsive-looking, non-elected, salary-guzzling, non-entity with connections to the Communist Party heading the show.

Great, just great. The world has gone completely mad and we have only a few Nigel Farages standing in the gap between sanity and total lunacy. We could use some spiritual reinforcements right about now, some of the Pope's divisions that Stalin was so scathing of.

This is the guy who would, (with my approval), given the reins of power, would have the SAS secure the Chunnel and repatriate the BAOR (British Army on the Rhine) a formidable British formation (perhaps the most formidable), once an occupation army....that in time morphed into a NATO support for West Germany....

Yes, Obama was elected.
And he will have to stand for re-election.
If he is understood as having done a poor job, he won't be elected again.

Therein lies the difference.

The EUnuchs are walking blindly into a dictatorial bureaucracy, as Nigel Farage says, where the leaders will be selected, not elected.

Posted by: BJG at November 28, 2009 6:56 PM

The "undisputably (sic) revolting" apartheid regime of South Africa, couldn't possibly be much worse than what they have now, and I personally found Salazar and Franco to be immensely more bearable to living under than anything Stalin and his heirs produced. (though I never lived under any of them)

Posted by: larben at November 28, 2009 7:52 PM

larben, I had relatives that lived in the Soviet Union until 1990 and then almost all of them relocated to Germany. However a number of their fathers and grandfathers under both Lenin and Stalin were classified as "enemies of the people" and shot. Others spent time in labour camp for crimes as insignificant as scooping up two bags of oats that had trickled out of a crack in a granary.

My grandfather got out in 1926, but his only two brothers were incarcerated in labour camps in the late 1920s as "enemies of the people" and one was shot in 1937 and the other died in labour camp in 1942. They were preachers and small farmers. Many other family members or spouses had similar fates.

The freedom of classic liberal democracy are by far the best system. I suspect however that the Portuguese under Salazar and the Spanish under Franco were much better off than they would have been under the communist alternatives.

Nobody can tell me how good socialism is, not even Taliban Jack's or the EU's version.

No doubt bleet and other occasional trolls would have approved.

Posted by: BillyHW at November 28, 2009 9:28 PM

I don't think you'll find any argument from any of the regulars here; but there are so many who don't get it. Why has Hollywood not pumped out weekly productions on the suffering of those under communist regimes? In part because, sadly, many of those who backed world communism were Jews, seeing it as the opposite of fascism and anti-semitism. Most of them were irreligious and most of those who suffered the most were religious of all faiths, but mostly Christians, they want to keep Jewish suffering front and centre; not to say they didn't suffer horribly.
Thanks for your post Ken (Kulak)

batb, judging from that picture you linked, the Baroness would appear to be, shall we say, somewhat apart from the current cultural model of attractiveness. However, it is her ideology that is truly butt-ugly, and probably contributed a lot to what her appearance is today.

Still, and all, probably quite appropriate as a symbol of the EU.

Toooo stupid to leave alone.

Syria al-Husseini aided the pro-Nazi revolt of 1941. He then spent the rest of World War II as Hitler's special guest in Berlin, advocating the extermination of Jews in radio broadcasts back to the Middle East and recruiting Balkan Muslims for infamous SS "mountain divisions" that tried to wipe out Jewish communities throughout the region.

do not forget some folks made out very well under soviet communism. If you were a chum of the boss you ate well, had a nice home, travelled first class and such. For those folks, it was a good system and as POTUS Calvin Colridge said "everyone I meet is doing well. If they are not doing well, I don't meet them". They may have deluded themselves into thinking the system was great for eveybody.
The rough and tumble of a competitive economic/political system may not be such a good gig for them and, ergo, it is worse for eveyone.
