All in the Family featured the curmudgeonly Archie Bunker. Archie was television’s most famous grouch, blunt, blustering, straightforward and untouched by the PC crowd. He was the archetype of the conservative male. Michael desprately tried to reeducate him, but he persisted in his breviloquence.



Looking back at the last 40 years, we realize: ARCHIE WAS RIGHT!

All Religions Are The Same

England was, a long time ago, a place of great ideas and great learning.  I suspect that C.S. Lewis's failure to reproduce himself ended the last line of Englishmen capable of truly intelligent and civilized thought.  I may be wrong.  I welcome examples in way of rebuttal. No Lord Mockton doesn't count.  He is a liberal who has learned that he can pander to the American right and have them pay attention because he sounds British and has "Lord" in his moniker.


I offer you this story from the Daily Mail, Christian nurse, 37, says she was sacked for 'harassment and bullying' after PRAYING for a Muslim colleague.


Some facts:
  • Two women who work together talk one of them Christian, one Muslim.  Both women share some basic things about their religion to the other person. I'm sure they talked about any number of other things as well.
  • The Christian women asks her friend to come to church with her and prayed for her when she was sick.  There is no information in the story about if the friend accepted her invitation or not, or if she asked her to not pray for her.
  • The Christian women gave her friend a book about someone who left Islam.
 Some thoughts:
  • Women jabbering about something never surprises me because that's what women do. I'm not sure how to stop this from happening in an emancipated society.  Perhaps passing a law that forbids women from working outside the home would have prevented this situation from ever occurring.
  • People invite their co-workers to any number of non work related events outside of work hours.  Would she be in as much trouble for inviting her friend to a Manchester United match if she knew her friend to be a Liverpool fan?  Most Englishmen take football more seriously than religion.  What if the Christian wanted to go a pub for lunch and invited a Muslim friend?
  • If, as we are told by the MSM, Islam has the same God as Christians and Jews, why would it matter if a Christian prayed for a Muslim to get healed of a sickness?
  • Giving her friend a book about someone who left Islam was clearly a move meant to foster the idea of conversion.  So what?  The Muslim could do what everyone else does when they get a book forced on them: say thank you, then return it after 6 months of collecting dust on the back of the toilet.
  • How insecure of ones religious beliefs do you have to be to have someone fired from their job because they invite you to go to their place of worship, or pray for you to get well, or give you a book?  Is Islam so fundamentally unsound as a religious system that its participants can't withstand the mere mention of some other religion? 
  • As an employer in what is optimistically called a "Christian Nation" how can you justify firing someone for being a Christian and being concerned about the health of a co-worker?  In a civilized society how do you punish someone for an invite to a non-work related event?  Are the English going to start burning books that the Muslims don't like? 
Don't be too quick to mock the English.  The United States is so close behind England in the decline of our culture that saying it will be years before this happens here is ridiculously naïve.  Throw the Muslims out, they aren't here to join our civilization they are here to destroy it.

    "I welcome examples in way of rebuttal."

      Nah, Benny Hill was merely slapstick and vaudeville.

      Monty Python was pithy parody and social commentary, deflating the stuffed shirts of bureaucracy.

      Or they were just being silly -- I could be wrong.

      One of my most precious treasures is the complete boxed set of Monty Python DVD's. One of my peeves about this set is that for some reason they left off the dead parrot sketch, but included the fish license sketch and an episode of them making an appearance in Aspen Co.

    The British must have a different meaning for 'sacked' than we do in the US. Our definition is equivalent to 'fired', but that is not what happened to Miss Wasteney:

    "Miss Wasteney was suspended on full pay for nine months while the investigation was carried out....Miss Wasteney was given a written warning, although she was not sacked and continues to work in another area of the trust."

    Hmmm...headline says 'sacked', body says 'not sacked'. More tabloid journalism designed to attract readers with headline hyperbole.

  3. Good catch. I didn't see that they simply reassigned her. Provided she is doing the same work at the same pay its not as bad as it would seem.

    You will NEVER be able to eradicate female jabbering. Just as women will never be able to eradicate completely men's jibber jabber. And the world would be a sadder place if we even tried.

    What might have gotten the woman in trouble is giving the book about leaving Islam. The thought so horrifies muslim men that they are willing to honor kill to stop it from happening.

    I read something a couple of weeks ago that one reason why muslim men are so against education for women, is because it allows them to see the truly bad and evil way that women are treated in the muslim world.

    There is absolutely no reward for them at all, nothing except being abused and terrorized in this lifetime. What educated woman would want to hang around for that? That is why the incidences of educated western women becoming jihadis is so surprising.

  5. men's jibber jabber.

    Grunting isn't jibber jabber.

    That is why the incidences of educated western women becoming jihadis is so surprising.

    Western men have been caving into feminism so long that western women don't recognize the males as being men. I think they see any kind of masculinity/moral clarrity as worth checking out no matter how insane.
