The compassionate people



Little Yazidi children slaughtered by the unutterably foul ISIS. Yazidis are Indo-Europeans like us. Not Arabs.



"We will look after you". Judge them by their deeds, not words



The incredibly tolerant country



How Christ probably died. There is no word meaning "cross" in the original Greek New Tesatament



A 1930's election poster below. Yes. Hitler really did campaign on a platform of peace and equal rights. Sound familiar?

If you can't find a German speaker to confirm what it says, look up "Gleichberechtigung" in a German/English dictionary. The iconic Leftist cry of "equality" was Hitler's cry too. Hypocritical in both cases, of course. "Some pigs are more equal than others"



The long slow death of America the great



Leftist "choice"



Government-run healthcare gets predictable results



Obama's strange values



Liberal hypocrisy below

It's not really hypocritical. They just have no real values. They are an ethical and moral desert. They just say what they think sounds good at the time



Leftist hate on display. The pic is from Australia and Tony Abbott was the conservative Prime Minister at the time



How the Left would re-write history



The KKK used to ATTACK Republicans and were very influential at Democrat conventions



The Prime Minister of New Zealand on ISIS and the Left



Incidentally. Binyamin Netanyahu is not the world's only Jewish national leader. The Right Honourable John Key is the other. He is not religious, however.

Arab IQ on display. The Israelis shot a would-be suicide bomber and handed the body over to the Palis



A great British patriotic hymn sung by a great Welsh soprano -- with music ("Thaxted") by Gustav Holst



The words:

I vow to thee, my country, all earthly things above,
Entire and whole and perfect, the service of my love;
The love that asks no question, the love that stands the test,
That lays upon the altar the dearest and the best;
The love that never falters, the love that pays the price,
The love that makes undaunted the final sacrifice.

And there's another country, I've heard of long ago,
Most dear to them that love her, most great to them that know;
We may not count her armies, we may not see her King;
Her fortress is a faithful heart, her pride is suffering;
And soul by soul and silently her shining bounds increase,
And her ways are ways of gentleness, and all her paths are peace.

One of the many wonderful celebrations of Scotland below

You need to know: Islay is an island to the West of Glasgow famed for good whisky. Your local liquor shop probably has some Islay single malts in its locked cabinet. "Westering" is a Scots verb meaning "to travel Westward". "Hame" is Scots for "Home"



The words:

Chorus

Westering home, and a song in the air,
Light in the eye and it's goodbye to care.
Laughter o' love, and a welcoming there,
Isle of my heart, my own one.

Verse 1

Tell me o' lands o' the Orient gay,
Speak o' the riches and joys o' Cathay;
Eh, but it's grand to be wakin' ilk day
To find yourself nearer to Islay.

Verse 2

Where are the folk like the folk o' the west?
Canty and couthy and kindly, the best.
There I would hie me and there I would rest
At hame wi' my ain folk in Islay.

Jihadis are the "good" Muslims -- they are the ones doing what the Koran preaches
