Ceeb Radio Show Host Clearly Off Her "Progressive" Rocker

Last night on CBC radio show As It Happens, host Carol Off spoke with a former Dutch politician who used to be--but is no longer--a member of Geert Wilders's Freedom Party. It's clear that Off, a typical CBC "progressive" squish-brain, was expecting the man to (sorry) go off on Wilders. And clearly, too, she was flummoxed when that didn't exactly happen.

Here's but a snippet from the glorious back-and-forth:

CO: You left his [Wilders's] party because you didn't feel he could compromise. But then, you clearly support the idea that there is a problem with immigration. But do you go as far as he says? Do you agree that you should prevent refugees, to stop immigration from Muslim countries, to ban Quran, to ban the mosques? Do you agree with that?

WIM KORTENOEVEN: No no no, not at all, not at all. This is where, if I would have been in the party [chuckles] now, I would have left because of the program that he's pushing to the public. I mean, this is against the constitution, he knows that.

CO: He's slipping in the polls. There's a flash poll today that indicates that he's dropping quite a bit. Do you think that's because of the extremism of his policies or is it something else?

WIM KORTENOEVEN: No no. That has nothing to do with it I’m afraid. It has to do with the fact that the Turkish riots in the inner cities of Rotterdam and Amsterdam this weekend gave the prime minister an opportunity to pose himself as a real statesman and a leader.

CO: So do Dutch people otherwise support his anti-Muslim ideas?

WIM KORTENOEVEN: Yes, I think rightly so. People are really fed up with the way the present elite has ruled this country, in particular with the immigration file. People feel unsafe, they feel their future is in jeopardy. And what happens is that Mr. Wilders steps into that feeling.

CO: But said, you yourself, where is your line then? You're saying that you don't support the extremism of Mr. Wilders but you are clearly believing that immigrants and migrants are creating these problems in your country.

WIM KORTENOEVEN: Yes, they’re not the only ones who create problems but they are part of the problem. Yes. And I don't want to generalize the migrants that are performing pretty well.

CO: Well are you.

WIM KORTENOEVEN: I am?

CO: You’ve been saying that they're creating all these problems to the economy.

WIM KORTENOEVEN: Yeah, yeah, but this is like a statistical fact. I mean, there is also the fact that Moroccan citizens of the Netherlands have dual nationality top all the crime statistics.

CO: But again, this idea, is it you're saying it’s because they're Muslim? Because of Islam? Or because of other issues, other social issues that might have led to that?

WIM KORTENOEVEN: Well no, look look, I'm not a simple guy. I mean, I studied history and political science and I have two degrees also in Middle Eastern studies. I know what I'm talking about Mrs. There is here a big problem, also with culture, it doesn’t only has to do with religion. There's also tribal society that has taken root here. And I'm not a racist, the party of Wilders is not racist. I mean, if I—

CO: [interposing] The party’s not racist? The Freedom Party is not racist?

WIM KORTENOEVEN: No, the party is not racist.

CO: When the leader calls Moroccans scum, that’s not racism?

WIM KORTENOEVEN: I’m sorry, Moroccan scum?

CO: He’s called them—

WIM KORTENOEVEN: Well, there is Moroccan scum. But he’s not suggesting that every Moroccan is scum, that’s rubbish.

CO: Well he was charged and convicted for racism, so how is he not a racist?

WIM KORTENOEVEN: Yes, of course, there was a, look, there was a political trial here with Mr. Wilders. And look, there’s much to say about that, but perhaps should interview him about that. There is a real problem here with groups of migrants. Most of them are on welfare, most of them do not accept our culture as the culture that they should refer to. And this is a problem. I mean, if somebody--

CO: Why is it a problem? Why is it a problem? In our country we have people of all kinds of cultures, they're allowed to enjoy their past, including Dutch and Europeans.

WIM KORTENOEVEN: Well, I wish you a lot of luck. I had colleagues of you, also from Canada, who were still cheering that the open border policy of your prime minister was in my view very naive. The open border policy is so liberal. That is the same policy that the Swedes had and it destroyed their inner cities. And you will find out--

CO: Well it’s the same policy, it’s the same policy.

WIM KORTENOEVEN: You will find that out.

Camille Paglia Nails It

She says:

Trump’s victory was fueled in general by an increasing national fatigue with sanctimonious identity politics of all kinds, which became an intrusive state religion under Democratic administrations.

Dovish Jewish Groups ‘Heartbroken’ At Prospect Of Being Banned From Israel

"Why Do So Many Muslims Hate Dogs?"

Let's just say they're taking their cues from their Big Kahuna, the most perfect human being who has ever lived in the entire history of the whole wide world.

A few things that dude didn't do, but might have done, to benefit the long term mental/physical wellbeing of those who follow his perfect example:

• gone surfing;
• sucked back an ice cold one on a really hot day;
• enjoyed the unconditional love of man's best friend;
• eschewed decapitation and other forms of slaughter.

Jews Are Called "Rodents" at Ontario University; Feckless Authorities "Investigate"

This one tells you everything you need to know about how "multiculturalism" and "social justice" have been hijacked by Islamic supremacists to serve their own insidious agenda (my bolds):

After a message comparing Jews to rodents was posted on Facebook in honor of an anti-Israel event at an Ontario university, administrators vowed this week to investigate and take action against the perpetrators. 

“We don’t know yet if any of our students were involved, but we are looking at the incident and will follow our code of conduct if we find that they were,” said University of Ontario Institute of Technology (UOIT) vice president of external relations Susan McGovern about the school’s chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine celebrating online, following the covering up of an Israeli flag with its Algerian counterpart at an on-campus multicultural language festival on Thursday.

Here comes the "feckless" part:

Following last week’s incident, UOIT’s president issued a statement reviewing the university’s values, so as to “remind ourselves of who we are.” 

Last year, the administration publicly said that it does not support the anti-Israel BDS movement, after the UOIT student association banned the campus’s only pro-Israel group, Hasbara Fellowships, from participating in Social Justice Week. (The incident is currently under review by the Ontario Human Rights Tribunal).

"Who we are"? Well, for one thing, "we"--or, rather, you--are a hotbed of Islamic Jew-hate.

Something else that's "feckless"--and abundantly foolish: submitting a complaint to Ontario's anti-democratic "human rights" gendarmes. (What will it take for Jews to clue in that, in the pecking order of victim groups--Muslims, Blacks, LGBT, etc.--we're waaay down the list?)

Trump's Obama-esque Folly

Dear Donald--there are some "yuge" problems than not even you, with all your much-vaunted deal-making abilities, can "solve."

Update: This, on the other hand, is good news (even if it isn't written that way):

In the letter, which is addressed to UN advocates and human rights group, US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson says that the US is sceptical about its membership given the fact that other countries with a poor record of human rights are also members, including China, Egypt and Saudi Arabia. 

Nine groups advocating the US’ continued membership have said that if the US does withdraw it will diminish the country’s ability to shield Israel from unfair attacks. 

In 2006 then US President George W. Bush refused to join the council over concerns at how it treated Israel but Obama overturned this decision in 2009. 

The US will participate in the ongoing session of the Human Rights Council, wrote Tillerson, “to reiterate our strong principled objection to the Human Rights Council’s biased agenda against Israel.”

It's unclear which "nine groups" are objecting, but from the article linked to one can glean than one of 'em is Human Rights Watch, an outfit with its own highly problematic history vis-à-vis Israel. And an HRW racketeer gives one of the lamest excuses ever for wanting to preserve this exclusive country club for Israel-loathing, human rights-trashing despots:

The UN director at Human Rights Watch HRW, Lou Charbonneau, described the potential withdrawal as “a misguided and short-sighted” step while noting the council’s “ground-breaking measures, often with strong US support,” including appointing investigating commissions that detected serious human rights violations in North Korea and Syria.

Yes, because but for the UNHRC's "investigating commissions," these serious human rights violations would have gone completely undetected. 😏

Mark Steyn's "Song of the Week": Born Free

Watch it here.

And here's my parody, a timely take on our government's refusal to understand the meaning and provenance of "Islamophobia," a word invented for purely ideological reasons by Muslim supremacists:

Born free,
But not for much longer.
The feeling's much stronger
To squelch all qualms re Islam.
Speak free,
Not under sharia.
Because, mama mia!,
Sharia's
Unfree as can be.
Stay free?
You've got to be kidding!
The Lib'rals know best,
The rest
Is better left unsaid.
Born free,
You've got to be kidding!
The Libs'll be ridding
And scorn
"Born free."

All Aboard!
